Review follow-up (CodeRabbit on #3475). A form edit refreshes the display
copy on every keystroke, and with /NeedAppearances that redrew every field
of the form: 68 ms per edit on a 1000-field form against 7 ms on main.
FieldAppearanceCache keeps each widget's drawing with the objects it was
drawn from: the widget and its field ancestors, the form dictionary and
the fonts of its /DR, each with the objects its entries refer to. An
entry is used only while each of them is still the same object
(Arc::ptr_eq); the document replaces an object it edits, so a changed
input is a miss, never a stale hit. The engine keeps one per editor. A
field edit on that form now takes 13 ms.
The repair note on a failed display write now names field appearances
too.

A form with /NeedAppearances true (ISO 32000-2 Table 224: the writer
"has not provided appearance streams for all visible widget
annotations") showed its text fields empty: PdfCraft only read the flag
when writing, and the display copy that draws missing appearances skips
widgets. Filled forms from tools that leave drawing to the viewer looked
blank, while Acrobat, Firefox and MuPDF show the values.
pdfcraft_forms::with_field_appearances returns a copy with text and
choice widgets drawn from their values (every one when the flag is set,
otherwise those with no /AP /N), with the generator a typed value uses.
The engine's display copy (page view, page images, Print as Image, CLI
render) applies it after the comment appearances. The document itself
is not changed, so saving writes the file as it was.

* M14: text the fonts can't draw is kept and reported, never written as ? silently
Form values and captions, text boxes, callouts, Fill & Sign text, measurement labels and stamp by-lines keep text the standard fonts can't draw, draw ? for it, mark the annotation (PCUndrawn) and report the edit (interface notice, tools' warnings); forms set /NeedAppearances (not in PDF/A). Flattening, redaction overlay text, typed and visible signatures and create-from-text refuse instead. Reports escape such characters as [U+XXXX].
* Catalogs: the two new can't-draw messages in Czech, Slovene, Kazakh, Turkish and Greek; refresh hashes

* M6: bulk-edit shared form field properties (#95)
Add opt-in shared properties, partial appearance patches and atomic CLI/MCP
batches. Complete current-page, rectangle and Fields-panel selection, with
20 synthetic regressions for preservation, rollback and dialog lifecycle.

* Bulk field properties: translated messages, a catalog check, and in-place /DA patches
- The bulk dialog's flag label, errors and notices are in all 13 full catalogs; the missing-field error is a template (fmt + tl!) instead of format!. New test bulk_field_properties_labels_are_in_every_full_catalog.
- patch_da rewrites the last Tf and fill colour in place (appending only when there is none), so /DA doesn't grow per edit; sizes clamp to 300 like parse_da.
- A size- or font-only edit leaves widgets untouched; an indirect /MK or /BS is updated where it lives instead of inlined into each widget.
- Draft::new says why: a widgetless field gets its own message, not 'could not be found'.

* M6: rotate form field widgets with /MK /R
Filling or restyling a rotated field redrew its text upright. Appearances now follow /MK /R, and Field Properties and form_set_props can set the rotation.
* Forms: a rotation refused as too small is checked before any other property is written; no indexing by widget number

The app, crates, binaries, bundle id, packaging, icons, screenshots and docs are now
PdfCraft / pdfcraft (repo storytold/pdfcraft). On first launch the desktop app moves the
PrintCraft settings and crash-recovery folders to the new name, and both apps read settings
saved under the old storage key, so upgrades keep recent files, preferences and unsaved work.
The signing test fixtures keep their PrintCraft subject names (they are binary).
