Subject: [PATCH 001/184] Crop Image: trim checks the image's RGBA size before
 decoding it
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Crop Image's trim (object.cropImage {trim: true}) decoded the image
within MAX_RASTER_ALLOC (2 GB) and then converted it to RGBA. The
decoder holds the decoded image, before conversion, to that allowance,
so a gray or 1-bit image within it could take up to four times as much
once converted.

Trim now reads the image's size from its header first and, when
width × height × 4 is over the allowance, fails before anything is
decoded, with the check and message Load Texture uses: "an image of
W × H pixels is too large to draw". Images within the allowance are
trimmed as before.

Subject: [PATCH 002/184] Render: check an image's RGBA size before decoding it
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The renderer decoded each image within its 2 GB allowance (512 MB in
the web build) and then converted it to RGBA. The decoder holds the
decoded image, before conversion, to that allowance, so an image stored
with fewer than four bytes a pixel (gray, 1-bit, gray with alpha, or
RGB without alpha) could take up to four times as much (4/3 times for
RGB) once converted, and as much again as the pixmap drawn from it.

The renderer now reads the image's size from its header first. When
width × height × 4 is over the allowance it does not decode the image
and handles it as one it can't decode: the renderer draws nothing for
it, and a raster export warns that an image is missing. Images within
the allowance are decoded and drawn as before.

Subject: [PATCH 003/184] Render: an export no longer warns about images
 another thread could not decode

A raster export compared the process-wide count of images that could
not be decoded before and after it drew, and warned that "an image
couldn't be decoded and is missing from the picture" when the count
rose. Any other thread that failed to decode an image in that time
raised the count too: a second export, the UI thread drawing the
canvas, or the canvas, thumbnail and placed-document workers drawing a
document with such an image. The export then warned about an image it
does not contain. In the engine's tests,
options_not_applied_yet_and_document_features_warn failed in 5 of 60
runs of the tests_raster and tests_pdf* tests.

The count is now kept per thread. An export reads it on the thread it
draws on. That thread decodes every image the export draws that is not
already in the shared image store, and an image that failed to decode
is never stored.

Subject: [PATCH 004/184] Images: sampling and recoloring check an image's RGBA
 size without overflowing
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Before the Eyedropper samples an image, or Edit Colors, Recolor Artwork
or a color adjustment effect recolors an embedded one, `rgba_within` reads
the image's size from its header and checks its size as RGBA against the
allowance. The check multiplied width × height × 4 in 64 bits. A TIFF's
sides go up to 2^32 - 1 pixels, so a header of 2^31 × 2^31 pixels
overflowed that product: debug and test builds panicked with "attempt to
multiply with overflow", and release builds wrapped it to 0 before the
decoder's own 512 MB limit refused the image.

The check now compares width × height with the allowance divided by 4.
Every size whose RGBA bytes fit in 64 bits gets the same answer as
before, and a larger one is refused.

Subject: [PATCH 006/184] PDF export: Add Around is clamped when a file opens,
 and art too large for f64 gets no effect image

document.rasterEffectsSettings accepts addAround from 0 to 1,000 pt,
but a file's raster_effects.addAround opened as it was saved. With
addAround 1e300, the area of a raster effect image overflowed f64,
the image scale became 0 and the image got the transform
[inf, NaN, NaN, inf, x, y]. PDF export left that image out, so the
drop shadow was missing.

A file's addAround now opens clamped to 0 to 1,000 pt. An effect
image whose area or scale is not finite is not made. Export then
keeps the object with its effects, and Expand Appearance expands it
without an image, as when its PNG can't be encoded.

Docs: docs/mcp.md (addAround).

Subject: [PATCH 010/184] Lint: action_batch.rs compiles without an unused
 import on wasm32

On main, cargo xtask wasm printed an unused-import warning for json in
crates/engine/src/cmd/fileio/action_batch.rs, and this check reported
it as an error:

    RUSTFLAGS=-Dwarnings cargo check -p vectorcraft-engine --target wasm32-unknown-unknown

Every use of json! in action_batch.rs is in code compiled only for
native targets. The wasm32 version of action_batch uses Value only.

The json import now has the same #[cfg(not(target_arch = "wasm32"))]
attribute as the code that uses it. Native builds import the same
names as before.

Subject: [PATCH 013/184] Tests: CLI tests do not fail on folders an earlier
 run left behind

The tmp() helpers in apps/vectorcraft-cli/tests/cli.rs and fileio.rs
name their folder after the process id (vectorcraft-cli-test-<pid>,
vectorcraft-cli-fileio-<pid> in the temp folder) and never empty or
remove it. When a later run gets the same process id, it finds the
earlier run's files there. mcp_automation_roots then fails on Unix with
EEXIST (Os { code: 17, kind: AlreadyExists, message: "File exists" }):
its first symlink() call finds the link in/escape.svg that the earlier
run made. A stale output file can also let a fileio test read an
earlier run's export.

The first tmp() call in each test process now removes the folder and
creates it again empty. The roots test's body moves into
automation_roots(), and mcp_automation_roots_in_a_folder_an_earlier_run_left
runs it twice in one folder, emptying the folder in between as tmp()
does. Without the removal the second run fails with the same error.

Subject: [PATCH 014/184] Tests: a language one ui-egui test sets no longer
 translates the tests running beside it

The language the UI is drawn in was one process-wide value in unit
tests too, and the tests run on parallel threads.
current_language_is_a_frame_setting sets Traditional Chinese for a
moment, and a test that drew text in that moment read it in Chinese.
chrome::tests::the_zoom_hint_follows_animated_zoom failed that way in
29 of 500 runs together with the i18n tests.

The drawing language is now one per process in the app and one per
thread in unit tests, as ui_mirror! keeps the shortcut and workspace
mirrors. The app keeps the same static. A new test sets the language
on another thread and checks that its own thread still draws in
English.

Subject: [PATCH 021/184] Type: selected overflowing type shows its red out
 port with any tool (#2323)

The overflow marker was drawn by the Type tools only, so with the Selection tool a text box smaller than its text showed no sign that text was hidden. Session::overlays now adds the marker of every selected area type and type on a path that overflows, unless a Type tool is active (it draws its own). The verdict is cached per object and font generation.

Subject: [PATCH 022/184] Color: Generic CMYK compensates black both ways so
 black round-trips (#2493)

sRGB to Generic CMYK applies black-point compensation (black separates to the
darkest rich black) but CMYK to display did not undo it, so hex 000000 became
C67 M67 Y67 K100 and then showed as #1b1818. The display XYZ now maps the press
black to black when the colour settings use black-point compensation, in the
sRGB conversion, the ink lookup table the canvas uses, Lab of a CMYK colour and
the gamut warning.

The Swatches panel selects ranges and whole groups, has a find field, and drags swatches to reorder, regroup or paint art; Add Used Colors, Select All Unused, Merge, Ungroup and Sort by Kind; a CMYK document keeps applied colours in CMYK. Swatch libraries: nine generated colour libraries and five gradient libraries in a library panel, saved as `.vcswatches`, `.gpl`, swatch exchange (`.ase`) or CSS, and loaded from `.vcswatches`, `.gpl` and `.ase` files (`.ase` both ways: RGB, CMYK, Lab and Gray; global, spot and process; groups) and from color books (`.acb`, read only: the RGB, CMYK or Lab colors of a book such as a Pantone book a user owns, named with its prefix and suffix, spot unless it says process, #831); `swatch.library.copyToUser` copies a loaded library into the User Defined folder without replacing a file, and a file with the same extension and bytes as a User Defined library opens as that library. Tints of global and spot colours ("Name 40%") stay linked and separate as a percentage of their plate. Spot colours can be defined in Lab (Spot Colors options). A built-in [Registration] swatch prints on every plate.

     View › Proof Setup › Color blindness – Tritanopia-type turns Proof Colors on and proofs the canvas with the tritanopia simulation of Brettel, Viénot and Mollon (1997). The Separations Preview panel's Proof Setup list offers the same target (`view.proofSetup {target: "tritanopia"}`). Grays keep their value.
   - **Eyedropper sources (#1251):** ordinary and Shift clicks, Shift+Alt appearance append, raster pixels and gradient-stop sampling can read visible locked/template art and sources outside isolation. Sampling leaves the source and selection intact; Alt reverse still uses editable hits, and hidden art stays excluded. Engine/tool/hit regressions cover the editing boundary, color models and one-step Undo/Redo. The general object/image workflow is described in [public HelpX](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/tool-techniques/eyedropper-tool.html); the lock/isolation expectations come from the user report and these regressions, without a new full-parity measurement.
   - **Sample Color from Screen:** an eyedropper button in the Color Picker and `ui.sampleScreenColor` (which can be given a key in Keyboard Shortcuts) pick a color anywhere on the screen with the system's sampler: `NSColorSampler` on macOS, the EyeDropper API in browsers that have it. The color becomes the fill or the stroke as one undo step, or the Color Picker's color, converted from display sRGB into the working RGB space. Windows, Linux and other browsers have no sampler yet; the button is gray there.

Subject: [PATCH 024/184] Panels: floating panel groups paint an opaque
 background (#2421)

The shared dock left its pane and tab strip backgrounds transparent because the docked card behind them is filled. Floating groups lie on the canvas, so the canvas showed through. They now paint the panel colour, which is what the card shows when docked.

Subject: [PATCH 028/184] Gradient chips: follow the angle and the gradient
 type (#2494)

gradient_chip now takes the GradientPaint and lays the gradient out as it would be on an object of the chip's shape: linear along its angle, radial from the centre, freeform from its colour points. Gradient panel swatch menu and the Swatch Options dialog carry the full paint.

Expand had nothing for Intertwine groups. It reported success but left
the group live (it only dropped the members' live shapes), and its
Stroke and Fill options could not reach the members, so a second Expand
found nothing to do. Ungroup takes apart plain groups only, so it did
nothing either.

Expand's Object option now turns every Intertwine group in the selection
(inside groups too, inner ones first) into a plain group of what it
draws: its objects, keeping their ids and order, then each part drawn
over the others as a clip group. The group keeps its id, place,
transparency and appearance, everything happens in one undo step, and
the dialog enables Object for an Intertwine group. Ungroup then takes
the result apart, as with an expanded blend or repeat.

Subject: [PATCH 031/184] Part of #2384: imported PDF text keeps its place
 after wide gaps between words

PDF import reads a gap wider than a fifth of an em between two glyphs
as a space, and a space that the line's tracking cannot place gets
tracking of its own. That tracking was clamped to 1000 thousandths of
an em, while type takes tracking from -1000 to 10000. A gap wider than
an em plus the width of a space came in short by the excess, so the
words after it sat to the left of where the file put them, and each
further wide gap added to the shift.

The tracking that import sets for such a space, and for the line around
it, now has the same range as type's.

Subject: [PATCH 032/184] Libraries: a plain click sets where a Shift-click
 range starts

A plain click on an item in the library panel selected the item but did
not record it as the anchor that a Shift-click ranges from. A later
Shift-click then selected only the clicked item, or ranged from an
older anchor set by an earlier Cmd/Ctrl-click or folder click. This
applied to swatch libraries and graphic style libraries.

Every click on an item or folder now goes through click_selection, as
in the Swatches panel. A plain click still selects the item alone and
adds and applies it.

Subject: [PATCH 033/184] Graphic Styles: Shift-click selects a range of styles

In the Graphic Styles panel, Shift-click and Cmd/Ctrl-click both added
or removed the one style clicked. Shift-click now adds to the selection
every style from the last one clicked without Shift through the
clicked one, in the order the panel lists them, and Cmd/Ctrl-click
still adds or removes one. A plain click applies the style and selects
it alone, Alt-click still adds it on top, and the Control bar's Style
picker still applies on every click.

The panel uses swatches::click_selection, as the Swatches panel and
the library panel do.

Subject: [PATCH 034/184] Links: Shift-click selects a range of links

In the Links panel, Shift-click and Cmd/Ctrl-click both added or
removed the image of the one row clicked. Shift-click now selects the
images of every row from the last row clicked without Shift to the
clicked one, in the order the panel shows them (its Show filter and
Sort order), and Cmd/Ctrl-Shift-click adds them to the selection.
Cmd/Ctrl-click still adds or removes one image, a plain click selects
one, and a double-click still goes to the link. When the last row
clicked is not shown, or the last click was in another document,
Shift-click acts as a click without Shift.

A click on a row runs select.set, select.add or select.toggle, and the
range is worked out as in the Layers panel's Shift-click.

   - On the desktop, Copy and Cut make the system clipboard's formats (text, SVG, PDF, PNG) from a copy of the clipboard on the thread that writes background saves and exports, and write them when they are ready; while that thread has a save, an export, a print or a recovery copy to finish, they are made and written at once. Until they are written, Paste in VectorCraft takes the internal clipboard, and while a text field or the Type tool has the keyboard the app waits for them. Another Copy or Cut, or a copy of text in VectorCraft, drops them.
   - Missing linked files can be looked for in a folder and its subfolders: Find in Folder… in the Linked File Not Found dialog and in the Links panel menu lists the files with each one's name, those with the size and contents saved with the link first, and relinks the files chosen, copying an image's file into the document's folder when asked, without replacing a file there (`links.findFiles`, `links.relink {copy}`). In the Links panel it looks for the selected linked files when any are selected.
+  - In the Links panel, Shift-click selects a range of links and Ctrl/Cmd-click adds or removes one.
   - Linked files another app changes while their document is open follow Preferences › File Handling › Update Links, as they do when it opens: Automatically reads them again (an Update Links undo step), Ask When Modified offers to, Manually leaves them modified in the Links panel. The desktop app compares the active document’s linked files by size and modification time every two seconds and when its window comes back to the front, on a worker thread; a file still being written is tried again (`links.updateChanged`).
   - Import and paste, 2026-10-13: a multi-artboard `.ai` with notes beside its artboards opens from its editing data, a page's art past its artboard no longer lying over the page before it (#1528); a `.ai` gradient whose stops are listed upwards keeps each midpoint on the stop that starts its part of the ramp (#1530); SVG text on a path follows basic shapes (circle, ellipse, rect, line, polyline, polygon) as their SVG 2 equivalent paths (#1531, fixes #1527); PDFs whose alpha soft masks are drawn as images import with the mask instead of empty art (#1551); EPS and PostScript type set in Type 42 (TrueType) fonts imports at its size instead of 1000 times too large (#1553); PDF and EPS import keep a clipping path whose bounding box covers the page but whose shape doesn't (#1544, fixes #1542). Opening or placing a file with an image too large to decode says so, and the Links panel shows it on the row (#1540, part of #1479). Paste takes a PDF or EPS another app copied as editable vector art: from the macOS pasteboard (with SVG), EPS on Windows beside PDF, and `.eps` files copied in a file manager, with the new command `clipboard.importEps` (#1538, fixes #1499).
   - A `.ai` or `.ait` file copied in a file manager pastes as its art: one that holds a PDF pastes as a copied `.pdf` file does, and one saved as PostScript pastes as a copied `.eps` file does.

In Presentation Mode the canvas showed the active tool's cursor, a
right click selected the object under the pointer and opened the
context menu, and every key other than the arrows and Escape worked as
in Normal Screen Mode: tool keys, Delete, Enter, Tab, F and the
command shortcuts. A two-finger tap undid. With a tool that claims
Escape, such as the Intertwine tool, Escape did not leave the mode.

In the mode only the Escape, Left Arrow and Right Arrow keys now act,
and Escape leaves the mode whatever the tool. Every other key press,
the text it types and the clipboard keys are dropped before any
shortcut reads them, the macOS menu bar's key equivalents included. A
right click or a long touch opens no context menu, a two- or
three-finger tap undoes or redoes nothing, and the pointer over the
canvas is the default one. F and Shift+F no longer leave the mode;
Escape does.

Smart Guides: a point drawn with the Pen or a shape tool, and an anchor dragged with Direct Selection, snaps to where paths and ruler guides cross, labelled "intersect" (#1658, part of #1602; a moved selection's own anchors don't).
 - **Artboard click-to-fit (#1227):** a plain click fits the topmost editable object or group to a new artboard, including its stroke like Fit to Selected Art, and makes the new artboard active. Art and its selection stay unchanged; creation is one undo step. Handles, modified clicks, drags, Escape and tool changes retain their meaning. Tested inside an artboard and on the pasteboard (`crates/engine/tests/artboard_click.rs`); the public [CS6 Printing Guide](https://helpx.adobe.com/content/dam/help/en/indesign/pdf/CS6_PrintGuide.pdf) documents the object-click gesture. This legacy gesture adds evidence without regrading the 2026 canvas controls.
 - **Rotated views:** with the view rotated, Fit Artboard in Window, Fit All in Window and the status bar's artboard navigator fit the artboard or the art as the view turns it, and a Zoom tool marquee (Animated Zoom or GPU Performance off) zooms to the area dragged across. Ruler guides on no artboard turn with the view. The canvas draws the selection marquee where the tools select, Show Hidden Characters draws the marks of type partly inside the canvas, the Contextual Task Bar stays under the selection, and the Navigator's red box outlines what the window shows.
-- **Views:** the status bar's artboard navigator (first, previous, next, last; `view.goToArtboard`) goes to an artboard, fits it and synchronizes the Artboard tool selection when that tool is active; ordinary object selection is preserved. Actual Next-button regressions cover keyboard/Properties deletion and Undo in `chrome.rs`. Fit Artboard in Window and Actual Size show the navigator's artboard. The Artboards panel highlights that active artboard: clicking a row makes it active (the Artboard tool's too, while it is chosen) as does clicking an artboard with the Artboard tool, double-clicking its number also fits it in the window and double-clicking its name renames it. Duplicate Artboards, or a row dragged onto New Artboard, copies the artboard with its art (#446). Escape leaves Presentation Mode, F from it goes back to Normal Screen Mode, and the screen mode isn't saved with the preferences: the app always starts in Normal Screen Mode with its menus and panels (#472). View › Pixel Preview shows the art as the document pixels it rasterizes to, one per point and hard-edged when magnified, turning with a rotated view (it used to draw the smooth vectors, with only the pixel grid over them). In Outline view a template layer keeps drawing in Preview, dimmed, so a picture placed to be traced stays visible under the outlines (#1505, fixes #1486).

In Outline view a template layer keeps drawing in Preview, dimmed, so a picture placed to be traced stays visible under the outlines (#1505, fixes #1486).
   In Presentation Mode, → and ← go to the next and the previous artboard, and a click anywhere goes to the next one, as the status bar navigator's Next and Previous do (`view.goToArtboard`): on the last artboard → and a click leave the view as it is, and so does ← on the first. The arrow keys do not move the selection there, and the tool does not receive a click, so a click selects and draws nothing (behavior reference: [View artwork](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/viewing-artwork.html)).
+  In Presentation Mode no key press other than ←, → and Escape runs a command or reaches the tool (tool keys, Delete, Enter, Tab, F, Shift+F and every command shortcut, the macOS menu bar's key equivalents included), a right click or a long touch opens no context menu, a tap of two or three fingers undoes or redoes nothing, and the pointer over the canvas is the default one instead of the tool's cursor.
   Align to Artboard uses the active artboard, the one the Artboards panel highlights (`object.align {artboard}`). A press with a selection tool inside an artboard makes that artboard active; with the Selection tool, a Shift-click on an empty spot inside an artboard makes it active and keeps the selection. One selected object is aligned to the active artboard too, whatever Align To says (a lone object is never the key object). When an action plays, its Align to Artboard, All on Active Artboard, Paste in Place, Paste in Front and Paste in Back steps that name no artboard use the artboard that is active then.
   Choosing the Artboard tool (Shift+O, its toolbar button, or Edit Artboards in Properties or Document Setup) starts it on the active artboard: the canvas outlines that artboard, and Delete, Cut, Copy, the Transform panel and Artboard Options act on it.
   In the Artboards panel, a click on the active artboard's options icon, or a double-click on another row's icon, opens Artboard Options for that row's artboard, and the panel menu's Artboard Options… opens it for the active artboard (part of #1876). Both used to choose the Artboard tool instead. Opened while another tool is in use, the dialog moves the art with a new X or Y when the Artboard tool's Move Artwork with Artboard option is on.

Subject: [PATCH 036/184] Rotate View: a Space+Shift drag rotates the view from
 any tool
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

A drag with Space and Shift held panned the view, as a Space drag does.

With Space and Shift held and Cmd up, a drag on the canvas now turns
the view about the canvas center, as a Rotate View tool drag does,
whatever the tool. Shift does not round the angle to 15° as it does
with the Rotate View tool, and the drag keeps turning the view when
Shift is let go. Space alone still pans, and Cmd+Space still zooms
with or without Shift. The pointer shows the rotate cursor while Space
and Shift are held without Cmd, and during the drag. The Rotate View
tool also shows it now, where it showed the arrow.

   - **Panel drag and drop:** art dragged off the canvas onto the Symbols panel becomes a symbol, onto the Swatches panel a pattern swatch and onto the Brushes panel an Art brush; a symbol dragged onto the canvas places an instance where it is dropped, and a brush dragged onto a path is applied to it.
     In the Swatches panel, Alt-dragging a swatch onto another swatch of its kind (not a tint swatch) replaces that swatch's color, gradient or pattern, and the swatch keeps its name and place.

Subject: [PATCH 037/184] Appearance: the inline effect editor's text fields
 keep what is typed

The Appearance panel's inline effect editor drew each text parameter
(such as Drop Shadow's color and Revolve's edge) as a text field over
a copy of the stored value made again in every frame. A character
typed in one frame was gone in the next, so the field changed a value
only when its new text and the Enter press arrived in the same frame,
as with a paste.

The field is now the panels' shared exact_text_field, which keeps the
text typed while it has the focus, as the number fields beside it do.
Enter or a click elsewhere sends the value with effect.setParams as
one undo step, and Escape drops it.

Subject: [PATCH 038/184] Document Raster Effects Settings: a file's resolution
 outside 1 to 2400 ppi opens in range

document.rasterEffectsSettings accepts a resolution from 1 to 2,400
ppi, but a file's raster_effects_ppi opened as it was saved. With 0,
-5 or 5000 in the file, object.rasterize without a ppi param failed
with "ppi must be between 1 and 2400", and document.rasterEffectsSettings
and document.info reported the stored value. With 0 or -5, EPS and
PDF export wrote a freeform gradient as a 1 x 1 px image, and EMF
export wrote every gradient as one. A saved New Document preset in the
preferences kept such a value too.

A file's or a saved preset's resolution outside 1 to 2,400 ppi is now
read as the nearer end of that range. Documents with a resolution in
range open as before.

Docs: docs/mcp.md (resolution, rasterEffectsPpi).

Subject: [PATCH 040/184] Artboards: commands given an index that names no
 artboard fail instead of editing another one

artboard.setProps and artboard.fitToSelection read an `index` that is
negative, fractional, a string or null as 0 and edited the first
artboard, and artboard.setProps edited the first artboard when the
call named no `index`. artboard.duplicate, artboard.copy and
artboard.cut took the Artboard tool's artboard for such an `index`.
artboard.reorder failed for it with "missing index".

These commands now read `index` as artboard.delete, artboard.move and
artboard.fitToArt do, and fail with "no such artboard" when it names
no artboard; the document and the clipboard stay as they were.
artboard.setProps without `index` fails with "missing index". Without
`index`, artboard.fitToSelection still fits the first artboard and the
copy commands still take the Artboard tool's artboard.

Subject: [PATCH 043/184] docs: quick Image Trace presets trace at once; the
 Image Trace button opens the controls

The UI parity row (and G12 in gaps.md, M12 in roadmap.md) said quick Image
Trace presets reveal the editable controls. Since baadbe2c6 a quick trace
leaves the panel as it was (test a_quick_trace_leaves_the_panel_as_it_was)
and the Image Trace button in the Control bar or Properties opens the
controls. That matches the public documentation: choosing a preset traces
the image with it straight away, and the panel is opened with the Image
Trace button in the Control panel or the Properties panel's Image Trace
section
(https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/image-trace-results-optimization.html).

Reworded the three rows, cited the URL, added revision-history entries and
status-line notes. Wording only; scores, statuses and hours unchanged.

Subject: [PATCH 045/184] Dimension tool: Shift shows the constrained line
 while picking the second point (#2432)

The Shift click already snapped the second point to 45-degree steps, but the dashed line from the first point followed the raw pointer, so the constraint looked absent until the click.

Subject: [PATCH 046/184] Type: a tab takes its width when area type breaks and
 justifies its lines (#2457)

Line breaking, the line's natural width (and so justification) and the composer counted a tab as its glyph's width, a space, while it is set up to its next tab stop. A paragraph starting with a tab, as in the report, filled a justified line as if the tab were one space, and the line ran past the frame. break_line and the line width now measure tabs with tab_advance, and a paragraph with a tab is broken line by line, since the composer works with fixed glyph widths.

Subject: [PATCH 049/184] Live Corners: a corner rounds until its cut reaches
 its neighbours (#2332)

A corner's radius was capped at half its shorter side whatever its neighbours did, so one corner of a 100 pt square rounded alone stopped at 50 pt. Each corner now rounds until its cut reaches the cuts its neighbours ask for: the whole side when the neighbour is square, halfway when both ask for more. The corner widget drag, the red limit outline and CSS border-radius export follow the same limit.

Subject: [PATCH 050/184] Effects: Expand Appearance and export give each
 Transform copy of a gradient path its own gradient (#2490)

A path with a Transform effect that makes copies and a gradient was still merged into one path by bake_leaf and expand_leaf, so the gradient spanned every copy. Route it through reshape / expand_outlined like the renderer does.

Subject: [PATCH 051/184] Effects: Zig Zag Smooth points draw a continuous wave
 (#2343)

Smooth Zig Zag ran the ridge points through a Catmull-Rom spline. Its end tangents slant across the path, and where the ridges are taller than about twice their spacing the sharp-turn floor of turn_tangent lengthens the handles, so the result read as straight diagonals with rounded tips. Each peak and valley is now a smooth point whose handles run along the path, a third of the way to the neighbouring ridge, so every span follows a half cosine through the path.

Subject: [PATCH 053/184] Type: centre and right aligned lines set their tabs
 as if they started at the left (#2457)

A tab's width depends on where it falls from the tab origin. Line breaking and the line width measure it from the left edge, but a centred or right aligned line is placed from its own start, so its tabs stopped elsewhere. The line is now laid out with its tabs measured from the left and then aligned as a whole.

The snap ring on an anchor (or a dot on a line) and the rubber band now follow the snapped point, so both measured points visibly land on anchors.

+| 2026-10-16 | minor | EPS editing data: legacy mesh corners, vector opacity masks and compound member paint retained; raster page comparison filters minification without relaxing limits; scores and hours unchanged. Synthetic EPS/parser/minification regressions; user EPS/SVG/JPG kept local. |
 | 2026-10-16 | minor | Correction to G12: quick Image Trace presets trace at once and leave the panel as it was; the Image Trace button in the Control bar or Properties opens the controls (<https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/image-trace-results-optimization.html>). Wording only; no entry opened or closed, estimates unchanged. |
 | 2026-10-16 | minor | Batch exporting in Export for Screens (#1935): a file name pattern (document and item names, a counter, the date), folders per format, item or both, Layers and Selection tabs with thumbnails, EPS, AI and VectorCraft rows, a PDF row with printer's marks, and export presets (built-in Logo Package and Print-Ready PDF, saved ones); scores and hours unchanged (estimated) |
 | 2026-10-16 | minor | G2: Effect › Sketch › Halftone Pattern (Size, Contrast, Pattern Type Circle, Dot or Line; black ink on white paper, Size in points at any Document Raster Effects resolution); measured Photoshop filters 30/57, 27 remaining (22–38 h). |

Subject: [PATCH 060/184] MCP: cancel long exports, answer while one runs,
 report progress (#2165, #2171, #2172)

The MCP server read one line, ran it and answered it before reading the next,
so notifications/cancelled was never seen during a call and every request
(even ping) waited behind a running export.

- vectorcraft_doc::cancel: a thread-local cancel token and progress sink that
  long work polls. Checkpoints: PDF pages, PDF flattening, geometry bake,
  raster-effect flattening, drawing objects, raster artboards, and before any
  file is written. A cancelled command returns EngineError::Cancelled and
  changes nothing.
- Server::serve reads on its own thread: notifications/cancelled drops a
  queued request or stops the running one (no reply, as the MCP spec says),
  engine-free requests (ping, the list methods, prompts/get) are answered at
  once, a request that would wait behind a call running for 2 s is refused
  with -32003 naming that call, and _meta.progressToken gets
  notifications/progress (page n of m). Queue and output are bounded.
- The remote backend stops waiting for the app when the call is cancelled.

+//! Cooperative cancellation and progress for long-running work (exports, flattening, baking).

+//! A host that wants to be able to stop a call (the MCP server, on `notifications/cancelled`)

+//! stopping is safe, and returns [`Cancelled`] up through the same `Result`s it already has. The

+//! (and tests running in parallel) never see each other's cancellation, and code outside any
+//! scope is never cancelled.

+//!   behind a call that has already run for [`Server::with_busy_after`](crate::Server::with_busy_after).

-### Synchronous calls
+### Long calls: cancellation, progress and a busy engine
 
-Exports complete synchronously. A `_meta.progressToken` is harmlessly ignored, as are
-`notifications/cancelled` (including unknown request ids). There are no background export jobs
-or progress notifications; cancellation cannot interrupt a running call.
+A call runs to the end before its reply, and the engine runs one call at a time, in the order the
+lines arrived. A thread of its own reads the stream meanwhile, so the server still hears the client
+while an export runs (#2165, #2171, #2172):
+
+- **Cancellation.** `notifications/cancelled {requestId}`
+  ([spec](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2025-06-18/basic/utilities/cancellation))
+  takes a request out of the queue, or stops the one that is running, and **that request gets no
+  reply**. A running export, flatten, bake or render notices at its next checkpoint (between pages
+  and artboards, between flattened groups, while drawing objects), returns, and writes nothing: the
+  document is exactly as it was and the engine is free for the next call. An unknown, finished or
+  malformed `requestId` is ignored, and so is a cancel of `initialize`. A call without checkpoints
+  (every ordinary edit is over in milliseconds) runs to its end, but its reply is dropped all the
+  same. Against a running app (`--connect`) the server stops waiting and drops the connection, but
+  the app cannot be told to stop what it started.
+- **Progress.** A request with `_meta.progressToken` gets `notifications/progress`
+  ([spec](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2025-06-18/basic/utilities/progress)) before
+  its reply: the PDF writer reports "Writing page 2 of 5" with `progress` 2 and `total` 5, raster
+  export reports each artboard, and the PDF flattening stage reports a message without a total. `progress` only grows, updates come at most every 200 ms (the last page always),
+  and none follows the reply. A client that does not read fast enough misses updates, never the reply.
+- **A busy engine.** `ping`, `tools/list`, `resources/list`, `resources/templates/list`,
+  `prompts/list` and `prompts/get` need no engine and are answered at once, whatever is running.
+  Anything else that arrives while a call has already run for two seconds is not queued behind it:
+  it is answered with error `-32003` (`data.busy` names the running call, its request id and how
+  long it has run) and was **not run**, so the client can retry later or cancel the running call.
+  Requests that arrive sooner than that queue and are answered in order, as before, so a client
+  that sends a few quick calls together sees no difference. At most 64 lines wait; past that the
+  server stops reading until the engine catches up.
+
+`vectorcraft_mcp::Server::serve` takes the input and the output on separate threads (`Send`), and
+`Server::with_busy_after` changes the two seconds. Calling `handle_line` directly is as before:
+one line in, one reply out, no threads.
 
 ### Not implemented
 
-Everything below needs the same thing first: the server reads one line at a time and answers it with
-one reply, so **while a `tools/call` is running it neither reads an incoming line nor writes an
-outgoing one.** Progress and cancellation are therefore both meaningless as they stand, and a
-subscription could only ever be checked between calls — which is not what a client asking to be told
-about a change expects.
-
 - **`resources/subscribe` / `notifications/resources/updated`.** It would also have to be honest about
   *whose* edits it sees: comparing the undo history's length misses edits made in the app window,
   which is the main reason to run against a live document. `document.inspect`'s `revision` is the
   right signal — it is monotonic and already bumped when a document is replaced — but noticing an
   edit still means someone asking.
-- **`notifications/progress`.** It would have to be written *before* the reply it belongs to, since a
-  progress token stops meaning anything once the request has completed.
-- **`notifications/cancelled`.** It would have to be read *during* the call it cancels.
-- **`sampling/createMessage` and `elicitation/create`.** Both are server→client requests, blocked by
-  the same one-line-one-reply loop. Supporting them means being able to suspend a tool call
-  mid-flight, which is what the `2026-07-28` revision's input-requests mechanism exists for.
+- **Reading the document during a long call.** Requests that need the engine (`doc_inspect`,
+  `resources/read`, `command_list`) are refused as busy while an export runs, not answered from a

 `completion/complete` covers the "what could I pass here" half of the same problem, which is why it

-the transport — a design change rather than a feature, so it is not in this crate yet.

   - Synthetic input validates complete gestures before queue mutation: at most 256 drag steps, 16 clicks and 1,024 pending events; up to 64 control requests per frame, with later requests retained for the next frame (#1709).
   - The control server writes each reply through a 64 KiB buffer. On Windows 11 it sends the 17 MB `document.inspect` reply of a document with 50,000 objects on one layer to a client over loopback in 0.09 s instead of 34 s.

A long export can be cancelled (`notifications/cancelled` stops it at the next page or group and writes nothing), reports page progress to a client that sent a progress token, and does not make other requests wait: engine-free ones answer at once, the rest are refused as busy after two seconds (#2165, #2171, #2172).
   - MCP protocol: five prompts (`prompts/list` / `prompts/get`: poster, icon set, recolour, trace-and-style, export set), `completion/complete` for prompt arguments and template variables read from the live catalogues (formats, effect ids, command ids, trace presets, swatch and object ids), four resource templates (`vectorcraft://object/{id}`, `//command/{id}`, `//effect/{id}`, `//swatch/{name}`) so an agent reads one thing instead of the whole document, and `logging/setLevel` with `notifications/message`. `window.panel` ids are case-insensitive (display labels work too), `vectorcraft://object/{id}` reads through `document.node {summary: true}` (the same reply bytes from one lookup instead of summarizing the whole document: a leaf read on a 2,000-object document drops from ~20 ms to ~0.06 ms), large containers slice with `document.node {depth?, childLimit?}` (truncated levels report `childCount`), `document.inspect` and the `inspect_document` tool slice the same way so a depth-0 read is the layer skeleton (~9.7 KB instead of ~2 MB on a 2,000-object document), `document.find` locates nodes by name/kind/text with ancestor paths, and the CLI sweeps the protocol surface over stdio against the compiled binary. `docs/mcp.md` has a Protocol section covering the capability table and what is deliberately absent (subscriptions, progress, cancellation, sampling, elicitation, Streamable HTTP — all of which need the transport to interleave reads).
   - Headless CLI (`vectorcraft-cli run`, `convert`, `info`, `bench`, `perf`, `mcp`). A `run` step, like a `command_batch` step over MCP, can use an earlier step's result (`"$1.id"`, #785).
   - Actions panel that records and plays back commands.

Subject: [PATCH 061/184] Persistence: saved PDF presets and loaded ICC
 profiles survive a restart (#2168, #2174)

PDF presets are kept one file each in a PDF Presets folder, ICC profiles as copies in a Color Profiles folder, next to the preferences; the desktop app and vectorcraft-cli use them. Adds color.removeProfile.

+//! The user's own PDF presets and ICC profiles, kept in folders next to the preferences so that
+//! they outlive the process (#2168, #2174). The apps decide where ([`Session::attach_pdf_preset_store`],
+//! [`Session::attach_profile_store`]); a session nobody attached a folder to keeps nothing, which
+//! is how the engine's own tests and embedders run.
+//!
+//! * **PDF presets**: one `.vcpdfpresets` file per preset (the format `pdf.preset.export` writes,
+//!   so a file can also be imported by hand), named after the preset. A session that attaches the
+//!   folder replaces its saved presets with the ones in it; a folder that doesn't exist yet takes
+//!   the presets the session has (the ones an older version kept in the preferences file).
+//! * **ICC profiles**: the bytes of each profile `color.loadProfile` registered, as `.icc` files
+//!   named after the profile, never the path they came from (a profile in a system folder may
+//!   move or go away). Attaching the folder registers them again.
+//!
+//! The files are untrusted input like any other: sizes and counts are capped, a file that does not
+//! parse is skipped with a log record, and every write is atomic.

+- **ICC profiles** (`color.loadProfile`): a copy of the file goes into `Color Profiles` (the result says
+  `remembered: true`), and every profile there is registered again at the next start, before the first
+  command, so `edit.colorSettings {"cmyk": "…"}` or a preset's output intent can name it in a later run. The

+  copy (not while it is a working space).

Subject: [PATCH 064/184] PDF export: report RGB colours and images in a CMYK
 document (#2162)

A CMYK document holding RGB colours or images separates them into CMYK on export, and dark ones come out as rich blacks. The export report now says how many there are.

Subject: [PATCH 067/184] Accessibility: buttons, toggles, checkboxes and
 sliders have names for screen readers

The controls that the shared widgets draw had no name in the
accessibility tree: icon, flat, primary, secondary and split buttons,
chips, toggles, checkboxes, radio buttons, tabs, sliders, the angle
dial, the Reference Point's squares, the spinner and preset arrows and
the searchable combo boxes. Screen readers announced each clickable one
as an unnamed element of unknown role, and a disabled icon button was
not in the tree. The Color Guide's library button, the Color Themes
Save button and the status bar's artboard buttons also had no name.

Each helper in widgets.rs except color_field now gives its response a
role, a name and its state. The name is the text, label or translated
tool tip the helper shows. The spinner, the preset arrow, the angle
dial, the harmony wheel and the Reference Point's squares, which show
none, are named "Step up or down", "Presets", "Angle", "Color wheel"
and Top Left to Bottom Right. A toggle, checkbox, radio button, tab or
Reference Point square reports whether it is on, an icon button reports
that it is pressed while it is lit, the angle dial reports its angle,
and a searchable combo box reports the text it shows. A checkbox or
radio button drawn without text is named by the label beside it. The
Tools panel's tool buttons, flyout rows and floating strips are named
by their tools' tool tips, with the active tool pressed. The title
bar's column toggle, the tear-off bars, a floating strip's close box
and the Color, Gradient and None buttons are named by their tool tips.

The status bar's First, Previous, Next and Last Artboard buttons now
have tool tips, and the Fill and Stroke chips' tool tips are
translated. The six new strings (the four artboard tips, "Color wheel"
and "Step up or down") have rows in every catalog.

split_button, chip_button, color_slider, channel_slider and the dialog
form's slider_field and slider_rail keep their arguments. New _named
variants beside them take the arrow's tool tip, the chip's tool tip or
the slider's name, and every caller in the tree uses them.

   - The contextual task bar's handle drags it anywhere on the canvas (kept whole on it as the window resizes); unpinned it keeps that offset as it follows the selection, and its More Options menu hides it, pins its position across selection changes (`window.taskBar.pin`), resets it under the selection (`window.taskBar.reset`) and shows the Properties panel. As in Illustrator the position isn't kept across launches. Not done: the bar's tool-specific variants (only the selection tools show it).
   - With one image selected, the contextual task bar offers Image Trace, which traces the image at once with the Default preset (the Image Trace panel is left as it was), and Crop Image; with an Image Trace object it offers Expand, which keeps only the traced paths. As in Illustrator ("Selecting images displays options like Image Trace, Retype, and Crop Image"; "You can also quickly expand traced artwork from the bar": [Contextual Task Bar announcement](https://community.adobe.com/announcements-651/contextual-task-bar-in-illustrator-2025-quick-actions-when-you-need-them-1546580)). Offset Path and Simplify, which don't apply to an image, aren't offered for one. Not done: Retype, which the app doesn't have.
   - Tool flyouts tear off: dragging or clicking the tear-off bar on a flyout's right side (or releasing the long press over it) floats its group as a strip of tool buttons, moved by the same bar and put back in the toolbar by the × at its top (`window.floatTools`). While a group floats, the presses that would open its flyout raise the strip instead. Floating strips are kept with the preferences and in user workspaces. Not done: turning a strip vertical, docking it.
+  - Screen readers get a name for the Tools panel's tool buttons, flyout rows, floating strips and tear-off bars, and for the icon buttons, text buttons, toggles, checkboxes, radio buttons, tabs, chips, sliders, angle dials and combo boxes that panels and dialogs draw with `crates/ui-egui/src/widgets.rs`: the text, label or tool tip each one shows, or a name of its own where it shows none (the angle dial, the spinner, the preset arrow, the color wheel and the Reference Point's squares). The tool buttons, toggles, checkboxes, radio buttons, tabs and the Reference Point's nine squares also report whether they are on, an icon button that is lit, such as the chosen Align To button, reports that it is pressed, and the angle dial reports its angle. The status bar's First, Previous, Next and Last Artboard buttons have tool tips.
   - Panels undock (#495): a dock tab, a panel icon or a popped-out panel's title dragged out of the dock floats that panel inside the window, and the strip right of the dock's tabs floats the whole tabbed group. A floating group moves by its title bar, a tab dragged out of it floats on its own, and dropped on another group's title bar or tabs it stacks with that group; dropped on the dock, which lights up under the pointer, its panels go back where they live (the tabbed group or the icon column), as its × and the panel menus' Float Panel / Dock Panel do (`window.panel.float`, `window.panel.dock`). The Tools panel floats by its title bar and docks again on the window's left edge. Floating groups stack into sets: dropped on the upper or lower half of another group (a line shows where), a group joins it right above or below it, and the set's groups stack top to bottom, each showing one panel, moving together by the top group's title bar, whose × docks them all; a group dragged by its tab strip leaves the set (`window.panel.float {below, above}`). A double-click on a tab collapses a floating group to its tabs (`collapsed`). Sets dropped on the left edge of the icon column or of another dock column dock as dock columns (a multi-column dock, `window.panel.dock {column}`), whose groups stack, tab and tear out as a floating set's do, and whose top strip floats the column again. Floating panels, their sets and the Tools panel's position are kept with the preferences and in user workspaces, and clamped into a smaller window. Not done: panels in separate OS windows, docking a panel into the default tabbed group it doesn't belong to, reordering tabs by dragging, collapsing a set or dock column to icons, dock columns right of the default dock, resizing floating panels and the groups of a set.
   - The dock's double arrow collapses Properties, Layers and Libraries to icons at the top of the icon column, popping out like the other icon panels, and expands them again (`window.collapseDock`, kept with the preferences and in saved workspaces). The icon column's own arrow (expanding the icon panels into a full column) is not done.
   - Czech render-site labels: desktop/web file filters, diagnostics, suggested preset names and contributor tooltips/plurals now use catalog lookups; gradients have Czech adjective agreement and printer marks have a separate context (PDF/Print and Summary). Search, Home, toolbar/panel tooltips and Preferences already look up their labels; new variable keys fall back to English in other languages. Evidence: `i18n::tests::czech_render_site_follow_up`, `dialogs::tests_modal::printer_mark_labels_are_distinct_from_language_names`; see [localization-parity.md](localization-parity.md).

Subject: [PATCH 068/184] TIFF: planar grayscale files with extra channels, and
 planar CMYK files, open and place

TIFFs that store each channel as its own plane (PlanarConfiguration 2)
did not open, place or relink when they were CMYK or grayscale with
extra channels: the image decoder refuses planar CMYK, and the readers
for CMYK inks and for extra samples returned nothing for planar files.

The two readers now read every plane through the tiff crate and put
each pixel's samples together. A planar CMYK TIFF keeps its ink
amounts and is stored as a CMYK TIFF with each pixel's inks together,
at the file's resolution. Grayscale TIFFs with an alpha channel or
other extra channels, and CMYK TIFFs with alpha, read as their chunky
versions do.

A TIFF whose header claims more strips or tiles than the tiff decoder
can count is refused as too large to draw. The decoder multiplies
those counts without a check, which panics in builds with overflow
checks.

Part of #1466.

     A PDF page whose `UserUnit` (PDF 1.6) is above 1 opens at its size in points, its numbers times the `UserUnit` (one above 75,000 counts as 75,000), and `document.pdfInfo` gives its size and boxes in points too. A `.ai` whose editing data has its artboards in the units of such a page opens from that data at the page's size, with its layers, and when the layers can't be read its pages still take the artboard layout of the data, scaled the same way (part of #1482).
     PDF export and `.ai` saves write a page with a side longer than 14,400 pt with a `UserUnit` (PDF 1.6), its longer side divided by 14,400 and rounded up to the next thousandth, so that no side is longer than 14,400 units (ISO 32000-1, Annex C.2); in PDF 1.3 to 1.5 files and PDF/X files such a page is written in points.
     Placed (linked) files in a `.ai`'s editing data come in as linked images in their place, each showing the low-resolution preview the file keeps of it until its file is found or relinked in the Links panel (a file found next to the document or at its path is read as the document opens). A file with them no longer falls back to its PDF part, so its guides, sublayers and hidden objects open (#1264; `crates/eps/src/import/ai/tests.rs`, `crates/engine/src/tests_links.rs`). In a file opened that way, a gradient with stops in the middle runs its whole ramp across its shape and a gradient object no longer passes its fill to the next path (#1390); text objects with an appearance keep their own text and frame, type of hidden layers stays hidden, and type on later artboards lands on its text objects (#1391); area type whose frame is too short for a line of the fallback font shows its first line, the frame made taller with a warning in the open result (#1392).

Masked images (`ImageType 3` in its three interleavings) and reusable streams are read, and an image's several data sources are read in turn, as the reference defines (procedures that read one file get their own rows: such images came in banded, #498). `restore` puts dictionaries back as they were at the `save`, so programs that count their saves in a dictionary read to their end (part of #505). Tiling patterns come in as pattern swatches, uncoloured ones too; Type 3 fonts' glyphs as their outlines, spaced by `ashow`/`widthshow`/`xshow`/`kshow`; mesh and function-based shadings (types 1, 4–7) as gradient meshes; sampled functions (type 0) and Flate/LZW predictors are read. It is tested with programs written from the specification in the ways common generators use these features; Inkscape/cairo EPS files open as vectors. When a file's PostScript still can't be read, it opens as its TIFF preview, its Windows metafile preview (as vectors) or its EPSI preview, and the warning (in the status bar, `document.open`/`app.open`/MCP `open_file` replies and `vectorcraft-cli info`) names the error, the operator that raised it and the procedures it ran in. Legacy PostScript `.ai` files (Illustrator 3–8, written with the prolog that defines their operators) keep their groups and nested groups (`u` … `U`), between and inside clipping groups; EPS and EMF/WMF import nest clips (and groups) at most 128 deep, so a hostile file can't exhaust the stack. DXF TEXT justified Fit or Aligned spans its two points (stretched, or scaled as a whole). PDF export writes type as real, searchable text in embedded subset fonts by default, as Illustrator's PDF presets do (Convert Text to Outlines is an option; printer's marks stay shapes), so text-heavy PDFs stay small (#733).

A planar CMYK TIFF keeps its ink amounts and is stored as a CMYK TIFF with each pixel's inks together, at the file's resolution. A TIFF whose header claims more strips or tiles than can be counted is refused as too large to draw (#1466 in part; `crates/engine/src/cmd/fileio/tests.rs`).
   - EPS and PostScript import keeps a CMYK image's ink amounts, as PDF import does: the samples of `image` and `colorimage` in a CMYK color space, and of a CMYK JPEG read through `DCTDecode`, come in as a CMYK TIFF, read through the image's Decode array, and the pixels a `MaskColor` or `ImageType 3` mask hides become a grayscale opacity mask (`crates/eps/src/import/tests_images.rs`). Such images came in as RGB PNGs.
   - DXF control-point SPLINE import honors its closed flag (#1299 follow-up after #1320 fixed export), including rational curves; open curves whose endpoints meet stay open. Own-fixture regressions cover controls/knots, fit-point fallback and all export versions (`crates/cad/src/import/tests.rs`, `crates/cad/src/tests.rs`); native save/read checked; CIRCLE/ARC fitting, CNC preset and VCarve QA remain pending.
   - Affinity documents in (AF.1–AF.4): `.af` (Affinity 3) and `.afdesign`/`.afphoto`/`.afpub` (Affinity 1 and 2, container versions 8–12) open and place as editable art: layers and sublayers, groups (pass-through or isolated), artboards (with their names and backgrounds) and Publisher pages side by side, curves with live corners, parametric shapes (rectangles with corner radii, ellipses, polygons, stars, pies, triangles, trapezoids), compound shapes, solid/linear/elliptical gradient fills and strokes (weight, dashes, alignment, scale-with-object), clipping by nesting, vector and pixel masks, artistic and frame text with fonts, sizes, tracking, leading and alignment, placed images (their original JPEG/PNG) and pixel layers (8/16-bit RGB, CMYK), opacity, visibility, locking and blend modes, at the document's resolution in points. Effects, adjustments, brushes and pressure profiles, transparency gradients, master pages, symbol instances (imported as their cached picture), special shapes (cloud, heart, cog…, imported as ellipses) and Affinity-only blend modes are named in the import warning. A file whose native data can't be read opens as its embedded preview with the reason, and that preview can't be placed. Save never writes back over the Affinity file and there is no Affinity export. AF.4 adds Affinity 3 artboard recognition and actual-outline clipping, source-backed JPEG/PNG raster tiles, Unicode text-run recovery, stored fallback/exact installed fonts, OpenType feature flags and compound-geometry limits. 51 public CC0/MIT/Apache-2.0 files (33 current `.af`), pinned and sha256-verified (`cargo xtask corpus --affinity`), test native retention and every-board native/SVG/PDF/PSD output for current files; selected files compare their saved thumbnails. No Affinity reopen or independent paired PSD oracle was available; [source audit and complex-font gaps](affinity-validation.md); [scope, provenance and limits](../crates/affinity/README.md).

Subject: [PATCH 070/184] Swatches: Alt-click on a swatch recolors the selected
 gradient stop

With a gradient stop selected, an Alt-click on a color swatch painted
the inactive Fill or Stroke, as it does with no stop selected. The
reference app's Default keyboard shortcuts page lists "Apply swatch
color to active (or selected) color stop: Alt-click swatch in the
Swatches panel" for the Gradient panel.

Now, when the active Fill or Stroke is a linear or radial gradient with
a selected stop, an Alt-click on a color swatch or a tint swatch
recolors that stop in one undo step, and the stop stays selected. The
stop changes as a drop of the same swatch on the Gradient panel's ramp
changes it (drop_color and dropped_link in panels/gradient.rs): it
becomes fully opaque, and a global or spot color or a tint stays
linked, so editing the swatch recolors the stop.
With a freeform gradient, the selected point takes the color through
paint.freeform.setPoint. With no stop or point selected, Alt-click
paints the inactive Fill or Stroke as before. The Fill and Stroke chip
popovers show the same swatches and behave the same.

   - **Sample Color from Screen:** an eyedropper button in the Color Picker and `ui.sampleScreenColor` (which can be given a key in Keyboard Shortcuts) pick a color anywhere on the screen with the system's sampler: `NSColorSampler` on macOS, the EyeDropper API in browsers that have it. The color becomes the fill or the stroke as one undo step, or the Color Picker's color, converted from display sRGB into the working RGB space. Windows, Linux and other browsers have no sampler yet; the button is gray there.
   - **Stroke visibility (#1253):** adding paint to a previously unpainted zero-width stroke restores the existing 1 pt default (`PaintDefaults::default`, `Appearance::set_stroke`), for the selected appearance item, the new-art defaults and Swap Fill/Stroke. Positive widths are kept; recoloring a painted zero-width stroke keeps its explicit zero. A real Eyedropper-to-new-shape sequence reproduces the zero-width inheritance. Five engine regressions cover creation, defaults, targeted items, preserved widths and one-step Undo/Redo (`crates/engine/tests/stroke_visibility.rs`).
   - **Gradients:** lossless, validated gradient params; gradients follow rotate, reflect, shear, non-uniform scale and distortions; the Gradient tool edits the fill or stroke of the active proxy, type included; an interactive on-canvas annotator (move, length/angle, rotate, add/move/delete/duplicate stops, midpoints, a stop popover, Delete and arrow keys). The Gradient panel has the Fill/Stroke proxy, a gradient-swatch dropdown with Save to Swatches, midpoint locations, Alt-drag to copy or swap stops, swatch drops on the ramp and a stop eyedropper; copied appearances and graphic styles place gradients on each target's own bounds; gradient handles snap and honour Constrain Angle. Gradient stops stay linked to global and spot swatches. Freeform gradients (points and lines) are edited on the canvas; radial gradients have an extent ellipse, an aspect handle and an off-centre focal point (SVG `fx`/`fy`, PDF two-point radials). A stroke's gradient runs within, along or across it. Object ▸ Expand turns gradients into N objects or a gradient mesh.
+    With a gradient stop or a freeform gradient point selected, Alt-clicking a color swatch in the Swatches panel recolors it instead of the inactive Fill or Stroke.
   - **Strokes:** one stroke-geometry module shared by the canvas, SVG, PDF and Outline Stroke; dotted lines (zero-length dashes draw dots or squares); arrowheads with hollow outlines, tip-on-end or extend-past-end alignment and one opacity for line and head. SVG and PDF export arrowheads, width profiles, brushes and aligned strokes exactly as the canvas draws them; Outline Stroke and the live Outline Stroke effect outline every stroke item as drawn (dashes, heads, profiles, alignment); dashes can be fitted to corners and path ends; width profiles carry through dashes, and their corners take the join. The Stroke panel edits type's character strokes, follows the stroke units (its weight presets are round values in that unit: `0.25 mm`, `0.0625 in`, `1 px`, #426; fields show four decimals in mm, cm and inches, three in points), shows mixed values blank and opens from the Control bar. A width profile library, thirty more arrowheads, and Width Point Edit with multi-select and discontinuous points. Visual bounds and clicks cover the whole painted stroke. Scale Strokes & Effects, Scale Corners and Use Preview Bounds work everywhere, and new art inherits stroke options, a graphic style or the whole last appearance.
   - **Brushes (part of #852):** double-clicking a brush in the Brushes panel (or the panel menu's Brush Options…) opens Calligraphic Brush Options (Name; Angle, Roundness and Size, each Fixed, Random or Pressure with its Variation; live previews of the nib and of a light–heavy–light stroke) or Bristle Brush Options (Shape and the bristle sliders); OK edits the brush and every stroke painted with it. The Paintbrush records the pen pressure along each stroke (kept with the path, saved, and joined when a stroke continues a path); a Calligraphic value on Pressure goes from value − variation at the lightest pressure to value + variation at the heaviest, on the canvas and in SVG, PDF and the other exports. Brushes saved before keep their look. Scatter Brush Options (Size, Spacing, Scatter and Rotation, each Fixed, Random between two values or Pressure from the first at the lightest pressure to the second at the heaviest; Rotation relative to Page or Path), Art Brush Options (Width, Scale Proportionately, Stretch to Fit Stroke Length or Stretch Between Guides with the guides' start and end, the four Directions, Flip Along and Across) and Pattern Brush Options (Scale, Spacing, the five tiles shown, Flip Along and Across, Stretch to fit, Add space to fit or Approximate path) each have Colorization (None, Tints, Tints and Shades, Hue Shift with its Key Color picked from the art's colours) and a live stroke preview; values from files and commands are clamped to their ranges. Still to come: the Art brush's Overlap, auto-generated Pattern brush corners, new tile art picked in Pattern Brush Options, Stylus Wheel, Tilt, Bearing and Rotation, and pen pressure on macOS.
   - **Appearance:** the Appearance panel's selected row drives every paint, stroke, gradient and transparency edit (`item` on the commands); effects apply to one fill or stroke; per-item Opacity popups, whose blend-mode list and opacity slider stay open inside them (#430; the Control bar's Stroke popover too); Mixed Appearances, Layers target dots and basic-appearance rules. Effects can be reordered, moved between items and copied by dragging; Show All Hidden Attributes; clicking an effect edits it in place; the object thumbnail drags onto art; effects render on type, images, symbols, blends, envelopes, meshes and repeats, and per-item raster effects export. Groups, layers and type have their own fills, strokes and effects (Contents and Characters rows); the Layers panel's target circles target layers, groups and objects; Expand Appearance turns fills, strokes, effects and brushes into objects.

Subject: [PATCH 071/184] Print: Print, Print Preview and Print Setup take a
 print preset by name

file.print, print.preview and print.setup took print settings only as
settings, so an agent had to read a preset with print.presets.list and
copy its settings into the call. They now take preset, the name of
[Default] or of a saved print preset in any case. The preset's settings
are used instead of the document's, settings applies over them, and
print.setup saves them with the document as one undo step. An unknown
name is a parameter error that lists the presets. The app's file.print
with params passes preset on to the engine.

   - Placed documents: File › Place of a `.vectorcraft` file links to it by default (`file.place`'s `link`): one locked object showing an artboard of the document (or its art's bounds), read the way placing it without Link reads it, its symbols, patterns and images kept apart from the document's; without Link (or from bytes, not a file) it is an editable copy as before. It stays vectors in every output (SVG, PDF, EPS, EMF, DXF), and so do placed documents inside it, read from their own files up to 8 levels deep (documents that place each other stop there). On screen they draw from bitmaps cached per file and zoom step, shared by every copy and made in the background (a placeholder until ready), so a sheet of them redraws in about a millisecond; exports and prints draw them exactly. Like linked images, a save keeps only a preview of each (JPEG when opaque) unless Include Linked Files; output, and zooming past the preview, read the file again, falling back to the preview with a warning when it is gone or changed. Saves for older versions write them as plain art. Links check, update, relink, Update Links on open, Link Info (the artboard's size), Placement Options, Break Link (also Embed, Object › Expand: the editable copy placing without Link gives, its resources joining the document), Edit Original (the document in a new tab) and the Links panel cover them; saving a document updates the open documents that place it. The native format (v4) keeps data of 8 KB or more after the JSON instead of base64 in it.
   - Desktop print transport uses `craft-print` for CUPS and modern Windows. Sheet composition, copies, separations and colour management remain in VectorCraft; Windows 7 retains WMI and the installed PDF viewer. The print-preview and physical-device fidelity gaps remain, so print scores and hours are unchanged.
   - A PDF, PDF-compatible `.ai` or `.ait` opened from its pages or its editing copy opens with the File Info that its XMP packet and its document information dictionary give: the author, description, keywords, copyright status, notice and URL, and the created and modified dates, the XMP packet's value where both give one; the title is not changed (`crates/pdf/src/tests_file_info.rs`, `crates/engine/src/tests_fileinfo.rs`).
+  - `file.print`, `print.preview` and `print.setup` take a print preset by name (`preset`: `[Default]` or a saved preset, in any case): its settings are used instead of the document's, with `settings` over them, `print.setup` saves them with the document, and an unknown name is refused with the list of presets.
   - Place and the Links panel, Package (placed `.vectorcraft` documents packaged with their own linked files and fonts, relinked to the copies: #777), File Info, Print with print presets, PostScript output and print tiling, slices and Save for Web, Export for Screens and Asset Export, CSS Properties, PNG/PDF/SVG/text clipboard flavours; files copied in a file manager paste as art (SVG, PDF, EMF/WMF, bitmaps) on every desktop platform, and Linux/Wayland reads the compositor's clipboard (#398); on Linux the Paste menu checks the clipboard off the UI thread, so an X11 owner that never answers can't freeze the window (#510); screenshots and other copied pictures paste as embedded images at the view centre everywhere, the web included (#457).
   - On the desktop, Copy and Cut make the system clipboard's formats (text, SVG, PDF, PNG) from a copy of the clipboard on the thread that writes background saves and exports, and write them when they are ready; while that thread has a save, an export, a print or a recovery copy to finish, they are made and written at once. Until they are written, Paste in VectorCraft takes the internal clipboard, and while a text field or the Type tool has the keyboard the app waits for them. Another Copy or Cut, or a copy of text in VectorCraft, drops them.
   - Missing linked files can be looked for in a folder and its subfolders: Find in Folder… in the Linked File Not Found dialog and in the Links panel menu lists the files with each one's name, those with the size and contents saved with the link first, and relinks the files chosen, copying an image's file into the document's folder when asked, without replacing a file there (`links.findFiles`, `links.relink {copy}`). In the Links panel it looks for the selected linked files when any are selected.

dataset.import read only commas between cells and refused a file whose
first header cell wasn't `name`. A value that didn't match its
variable's kind, and a repeated data set name, were reported with the
row's record number, which is not the file line after a blank line or a
quoted line break. A data set name over 255 characters gave no line.

- When the header row, read with tabs between cells, has a tab and no
  comma outside quotes, tabs separate the cells. A quoted cell may then
  hold tabs and commas.
- Without a `name` column every header cell is a variable, and the rows
  take the first free names Data Set 1, Data Set 2 and so on, as Capture
  Data Set and blank name cells do. A first header cell `name`, in any
  case, still holds the data set names.
- Value errors, a repeated data set name and a name over 255 characters
  give the file line the row starts on.
- The Variables panel's Import Data Sets… dialog also lists .tsv files.
- import_fuzz.rs imports random text, random bytes and mutated exports,
  comma- and tab-separated, into a document with bound text, visibility
  and graph variables, selects up to three of the imported data sets in
  turn, and exports every data set.

Subject: [PATCH 073/184] Type: a click in a Devanagari syllable goes to its
 nearer end, and shaping is tested
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

A syllable drawn with several glyphs that share one cluster, such as a
pre-base i matra and its consonant (कि), had a caret stop at the edge
of each glyph. A click just right of the matra, in the left half of
the syllable, put the caret after the syllable. byte_in_line now takes
one extent for each cluster, and type on a path compares the click
with the middle of the cluster, from the start of its first glyph to
the end of its last.

New tests with an installed OpenType Devanagari font check that क्ष
forms one conjunct glyph, that र्क draws the reph after its base, that
कि draws the matra before its consonant, that Ka with a nukta matches
the precomposed क़, and that each syllable is one cluster with the
arrow keys stopping at its ends. They print SKIPPED when no such font
is installed.

     The Simplify dialog also has Corner Point Angle Threshold, Convert to Straight Lines and Show Original Path. The threshold is a slider from 0° to 180° and opens at 150°: an anchor whose corner is sharper than the threshold stays a corner, so moving the slider right keeps more corners, and the dialog sends `cornerAngle` as 180° less the threshold. While Preview is on, Show Original Path draws the paths as they were before the preview in a wide, faint band of their layer's color under the selection's outlines.
 - **Type:** Character size, leading, baseline shift and horizontal-scale controls account for object/group transforms (#1034): exact document-point sizes, mixed-value display and keyboard increments, range edits, resettable horizontal stretch, undo/redo and native save/reopen (`tests_typescale`, Character panel tests). Point size is the transformed em-height axis, independent of glyph ink bounds; affine rotation, reflection and shear are retained. Group scaling still scales text; preserving font sizes is a separate enhancement. Behaviour reference: [Transform text](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/design-with-text/edit-format-text/transform-text.html) (public documentation). Text Wrap, Type on a Path effects (Rainbow/Skew/3D Ribbon/Stair Step/Gravity) and Options (Flip, Align to Path, Spacing; OK keeps the type where it is), type on a path's start, centre and end brackets (Selection and Direct Selection drag them to set where the type runs, slide it along its path and, across the path, flip it: #429), Character and Paragraph Styles (override-preserving redefine), paragraph attributes per paragraph (alignment, indents, spacing, hyphenation, hanging punctuation, tab stops, paragraph style, direction, mojikumi and leading model; the Paragraph, Tabs and Paragraph Styles panels act on the paragraphs the Type tool's selection or caret touches, Return continues the paragraph's style, threads and SVG keep them), Area Type Options (rows/columns/inset/first baseline, vertical Align Top/Center/Bottom/Justify per row/column, reflowing non-rectangular frames and text wrap), threaded text across any closed shapes, Fit Headline, the Every-line Composer for justified and ragged text (paragraph-wide breaks for an even rag, Single-line per object from the Paragraph panel menu or `text.setFormat {composer}`). Area type resizes like Illustrator's type areas: a bounding-box handle drag (Selection tool) or Area Type Options Width/Height size the frame and the text reflows at its size (threads too); Direct Selection drags a frame corner or edge (`text.reshapeArea`). Point type still scales. Auto Size: the frame height follows the text after every edit, in the same undo step (rectangular frames of horizontal type in one row; columns get the least height that holds them; a height set by hand or threading turns it off), and the "Auto Size New Area Type" preference gives it to new area type. Shrink Text to Fit (beyond Illustrator): overflowing area type scales its sizes, leading and baseline shifts down by the largest factor (in 0.1 pt steps of the first run, down to a minimum percentage) that fits, at layout time so every export sees it. `text.areaOptions` and `document.inspect` report overflow and the shrink factor. The Selection tool shows the type widget beside selected type's bounding box (hollow on point type, filled on area type); double-clicking it converts between them (Type › Convert To Area Type / Convert To Point Type), keeping the text and its styles in place. Cmd+Shift+C (Align center) works on Windows and Linux too (#1940). Variable fonts list every named instance as a style of their family (Figtree Light to Black and their italics, Bahnschrift, Segoe UI Variable), and the instance chosen is shaped, drawn, outlined and measured at its axis settings; PDF and SVG embed it as that instance. Variation axis sliders are not done. Beyond Illustrator: inline graphics (`text.insertInline`, Type ▸ Insert Inline Symbol) set a document symbol in a run of type as one character that flows, wraps and justifies like a glyph (InDesign-style inline objects, e.g. mana symbols in card rules text): sized to a multiple of the font size, centred on the cap height, opening up tall lines, following Redefine Symbol; a character of its run's size for Character Alignment and Top-to-Top leading, placed by the bidi reordering in right-to-left text (a neutral U+FFFC); drawn on the canvas, kept as live text plus a `<use>` in SVG and as vector art in PDF; Backspace removes it whole. Hebrew and Arabic are laid out right to left with the Unicode bidirectional algorithm (embedded Latin and numbers keep their direction, lines put in visual order after wrapping) in point, area and path type, with caret, selection and arrow keys in visual order; each paragraph's direction comes from its first strong character unless Paragraph Direction sets it (Paragraph panel with Show Indic Options, `text.setFormat {direction}`), and new type aligns to the start of its direction. SVG export outlines right-to-left text. Arabic typefaces: builds made with a craft-fonts checkout that holds its Arabic families (Noto Sans Arabic, the Arabic fallback, plus Cairo, Tajawal, Almarai, IBM Plex Sans Arabic, Noto Kufi Arabic, Amiri, Alexandria, Fustat, Reem Kufi, Aref Ruqaa and Gulzar once craft-fonts adds them, storytold/craft-fonts#11; releases get them when their craft-fonts pin moves) list them in the font menus on desktop; the web build fetches them from beside the wasm (Noto Sans Arabic before start, so Arabic never shows as boxes, the rest in the background). Font Size and Leading are combo boxes in the Character and Properties panels (Font Size in the Control bar too, beside the Character link, font family and style): type, step with ↑/↓ or the spinner, scrub the label, or pick a preset (6–72 pt, shown in the type unit; Leading also Auto), each pick one undo step; Kerning and Tracking list -100…200; a size, leading, kerning or tracking the selected text doesn't share shows blank (#458). Type › Bold and Italic (beyond Illustrator, as page layout apps have them; Cmd+Shift+B / Cmd+Shift+I while the Type tool edits text) switch the selected type to its family's own Bold or Italic face and back, keeping its width (a Narrow face stays Narrow); a family without that face says so (#724). The commands that make or restyle type (and the MCP `add_text` tool) say in their result when area type does not fit its frame, and `add_text` takes Auto Size and Shrink Text to Fit (#1500, fixes #1471). A tab stop in the Tabs panel drags from where the press landed, a stop just added included (#1487, fixes #1458). Area type in a non-rectangular shape moves a word too wide for the top lines down to the first line that holds it instead of breaking it (#1617, fixes #1615). Stylistic sets (ss01–ss20), stylistic and titling alternates, proportional and lining figures, and superscript and subscript glyphs can be turned on as OpenType features of a character style (`text.setStyle {features}`), and the OpenType panel keeps them (#1611, fixes #1607). Escape while typing ends the edit, keeps the type selected and switches to the Selection tool (#1802, #1686, #1656). Select › Same matches type on its characters' fill and stroke (#1746, #1737). `text.create`, `text.createInPath` and the MCP `add_text` tool take `justify`, so point type can be centred on or end at its point (#1752, #1748).

+- **Devanagari shaping:** with an OpenType Devanagari font, Ka, virama and Ssa (क्ष) form one conjunct glyph, Ra and virama before a consonant (र्क) become a reph drawn after it, the i matra (कि) is drawn before its consonant, and Ka with a nukta is drawn like the precomposed क़ (U+0958), as [Microsoft's Devanagari shaping specification](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/script-development/devanagari) describes. Each syllable is one cluster of its source bytes, and the arrow keys stop at its ends. A click inside a syllable drawn with several glyphs puts the caret at the syllable's nearer end, in point, area and path type. Tests: `crates/text/src/tests_devanagari.rs`; they print SKIPPED when no such font is installed.
 - **Vertical punctuation:** fullwidth `！` (U+FF01) and `？` (U+FF1F) use their nominal glyph upright when no vertical alternate is present, following the Tu fallback in [Unicode UAX #50 §3.1](https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr50/#vo). Code-built test fonts cover point and area type with and without `vert` alternates, retain the rotated fallback for a bracket and long vowel mark, and leave horizontal type unchanged. Tests: `crates/text/src/tests_vertical.rs`.
   - Free Distort's dialog (Effect › Distort & Transform › Free Distort…) shows a box in the proportions of the first selected object's bounds with a handle on each corner. Dragging a handle moves that corner. A handle focused by a click or Tab moves 1% of the box with each arrow key, and 10% with Shift. Reset puts the four corners back on the box. The preview and OK run `effect.apply`, or `effect.setParams` when the dialog edits an applied effect, and the Appearance panel's inline editor opens the dialog with Edit….

Subject: [PATCH 075/184] Docs: type-parity and the roadmap list the
 Hyphenation options as done
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

docs/type-parity.md and the Set type row of docs/roadmap.md still
listed the Hyphenation… options as missing, although the Hyphenation
dialog (#2310) sets them for each paragraph.

The type-parity row is now partial and names Words Longer Than, After
First, Before Last, Hyphen Limit, Hyphenation Zone and Hyphenate
Capitalized Words. Justification… stays missing. The Set type row of
roadmap.md lists only the justification options as missing. Its score
is unchanged. docs/target-app-parity.md and docs/gaps.md are left as
they are.

Subject: [PATCH 076/184] i18n: Simplified Chinese translates status-bar and
 error messages
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The Simplified Chinese catalog had 20 `@msg` rows, against 714 to 718
in each catalog listed in COMPLETE_MESSAGES, so with the interface in
Simplified Chinese most status-bar and error messages showed in
English.

- zh-hans.tsv gains the 694 missing `@msg` rows in one block with a
  header comment on its conventions: no final 。 unless the English
  ends with a period, a space between Chinese and adjacent Latin
  text, numbers or placeholders, and 、 between list items. The rows
  use the catalog's existing terms (画板, 图稿, 编组, 描边, 色板, 实时上色,
  图像描摹, 增效工具 ...).
- zh-hans joins COMPLETE_MESSAGES, so
  complete_languages_translate_every_message and the narrower message
  tests fail when a zh-hans message row is missing, and a new message
  needs a zh-hans row.
- The registry comment, docs/development.md (which also gains Greek,
  already in COMPLETE_MESSAGES), the zh-hans row of
  docs/localization-parity.md, and the interface-languages line of
  docs/target-app-parity.md (which also gains Czech, Greek, Hungarian,
  Swedish and Finnish) list Simplified Chinese among the languages
  that translate messages.

   For Auto Size area type in columns, the bisection for the frame's height runs on the lines of the one-column layout, and its result is checked with at most two layouts of the columns. When the text wraps around objects or does not fit the one-column layout, or when the check fails, the columns are laid out at every step of the bisection, as before. Typing at the start of a story of 50,000 characters in 2 columns took 1,670 ms a keystroke and now takes 292 ms (release build, `auto_height_in_columns_typing_timing`).
   An edit copies a thread's story only when it changes one of the thread's frames: with a story of 50,000 characters threaded through 8 frames with a style change at every word, moving another object took 7.8 ms and now takes 0.013 ms, and a frame of a drag took 7.2 ms and now takes 0.012 ms (release build, `threaded_story_edit_timing`).
   The Paragraph panel menu's Hyphenation… (`ui.hyphenation`, `text.setFormat {wordsLongerThan, afterFirst, beforeLast, hyphenLimit, hyphenationZone, hyphenateCapitalized}`) sets each paragraph's hyphenation limits: the shortest word that breaks, the fewest letters on each side of the hyphen, the most hyphenated lines in a row, a zone at the right edge where the Single-line Composer breaks before a word instead of hyphenating it, and whether capitalized words break. The defaults are words longer than 5 letters, 3 letters on each side, no limit or zone, and capitalized words hyphenated; paragraph styles and the native file keep the options.
-- **Interface languages, vertical type:** Preferences ▸ User Interface (or VectorCraft ▸ Language on macOS) picks Automatic (the system locale) or a registered language, persisted as `interfaceLanguage`. Translations come from per-language catalogs (`i18n/*.tsv`): Traditional and Simplified Chinese, Japanese, German (every `de-*` locale), Spanish (neutral international Spanish, for every `es-*` locale), French (every `fr-*` locale), Italian (every `it-*` locale) Russian (every `ru-*` locale) and Ukrainian (every `uk-*` locale) cover the whole interface, Czech every menu label; German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian and Ukrainian also translate status-bar and error messages as they are shown (`@msg` templates, every message literal tested; the messages themselves stay English for agents); untranslated text stays English. Japanese and Chinese glyphs come from the craft-fonts build input (release builds) or the installed fonts, Czech, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Russian and Ukrainian ones from the bundled UI fonts. The web app follows the browser's languages (or `?lang=`). The Basic toolbar's Type button holds Vertical Type in its flyout.

 - **Transparency:** opacity masks (clip/invert/disable/link), exported as SVG `<mask>` and PDF soft masks. The constant alpha soft mask that PDF and `.ai` export draw a CMYK page with transparency through is white, so applications that read every soft mask by its luminosity show the page too (#1359, part of #1286).
   Disable, Enable, Unlink and Link Opacity Mask and Opacity Mask Options (`transparency.setOpacityMask`) record no undo step when every mask they act on already has the flags they set.
 - **Image Trace, thin closed outlines:** generated `fit::snap_area_tests` verify nonzero interiors after straightening, opposite closed-boundary winding and Noise controls; see [quality notes](image-trace-quality.md#thin-closed-outlines-with-snap-curves-to-lines). Scores and hours unchanged; open-piece fitting is unchanged.

Subject: [PATCH 077/184] SVG export: justified and Mojikumi lines keep their
 letter spacing in live text

SVG export wrote each style run of a line of live text as one <tspan>
and positioned the text again only after tabs and, on justified lines,
after word spaces. A viewer then spaced the characters inside the
<tspan> with the font's own advances, so it lost the letter gaps of a
Justify All line without word spaces, the gaps between the characters
of a justified Japanese line and the spacing that a Mojikumi Set
changes. On justified lines, the textLength of horizontally scaled type
also took in the justification space after it, so a viewer stretched
the glyphs into that space.

On a line that is justified or set with a Mojikumi Set, text_lines now
lays the text out again as point type without the Mojikumi Set to get
the advance a viewer gives each character. Each character that the
layout draws away from where a viewer would draw it starts a new
positioned <tspan>, and textLength and line anchors use the viewer's
widths. The last character of a horizontally scaled <tspan> takes its
width without the font's kerning against the next character. Other
lines, and lines written with Fewer <tspan> Elements, are written as
before.

CMYK images keep their ink amounts from PDF import (and from placed CMYK TIFFs and the images in an `.ai` or EPS file's editing data, an alpha channel coming in as a grayscale opacity mask) to PDF export: a CMYK JPEG passes through unchanged, others stay CMYK (DeviceCMYK, or ICC-based CMYK in PDF/X-3/X-4) unless the Output settings convert them; the canvas shows them through the working CMYK profile (#320). Overprint is kept from PDF import (opened, the PDF part of an `.ai`, placed) to PDF export: the graphics state's `/OP` and `/op` become the overprint of fills, strokes and type, so a spot colour over a process colour still overprints; a page whose overprint can't be read for certain knocks out with a note, as does `/OPM 0` being read as nonzero overprint (#1388; hand-written fixtures, `pdf/src/tests_import_overprint.rs`). A masked CMYK image (`/SMask`, `/Mask` or a colour key) keeps its inks too, its alpha coming in as a greyscale opacity mask.
     SVG import's style cascade, used for hidden objects, non-scaling strokes and type, tests each element only against the `<style>` rules for its id, its classes and its element name, and the rules whose selector ends in none of these (`*`, `[x]`).
     A `.svgz` file copied in a file manager pastes as its art, as a copied `.svg` file does.
+    In SVG export without Fewer `<tspan>` Elements, each character of live type that justification or Mojikumi moves (the letter gaps of a Justify All line without word spaces, the gaps between the characters of a justified Japanese line, closed-up punctuation, the space between Japanese and Latin letters) starts its own positioned `<tspan>`, and type scaled horizontally on a justified line is stretched to its own width (`crates/svg/tests/text_layout.rs`).
     A PDF saved with Illustrator's editing data opens through it as a PDF-compatible `.ai` does, with its layers and groups and with art reaching past its page unclipped; such a PDF holds the data in `AIPDFPrivateData` streams (part of #868). A shape a PDF or `.ai` paints with a gradient (a clip path round a shading) opens as one path filled with the gradient, not a clip group round a rectangle, so Shape Builder, Live Paint and Pathfinder work on its outline (#1304).
     In a `.ai` opened from its editing data, a text object on a layer that shows and doesn't print stays on that layer, made from the file's text document, even where the page doesn't draw it (`crates/eps/src/import/tests_native.rs`).
     A PDF page whose `UserUnit` (PDF 1.6) is above 1 opens at its size in points, its numbers times the `UserUnit` (one above 75,000 counts as 75,000), and `document.pdfInfo` gives its size and boxes in points too. A `.ai` whose editing data has its artboards in the units of such a page opens from that data at the page's size, with its layers, and when the layers can't be read its pages still take the artboard layout of the data, scaled the same way (part of #1482).

Subject: [PATCH 078/184] Type: a change of paint, baseline shift or rotation
 on one character keeps the font's kerning
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Each style run was shaped on its own, so restyling one character, even
only its fill, dropped the font's kerning pairs at the new run
boundaries. A fill change on the V of 40 pt "AVAV" moved it 0.56 pt and
moved the characters after it 1.12 pt. Manual kerning on a character
also dropped the font's kerning with the character before it.

Adjacent runs that differ only in fill, stroke, underline,
strikethrough, overprint, character style name, leading, baseline
shift, rotation, Character Alignment, kerning, or tracking (as long as
both values leave standard ligatures on or both turn them off) are now
shaped together, and each glyph takes those attributes from its own
run. The font's kerning pairs apply after characters with automatic
kerning: a manual value replaces the pair after its character, and the
pair before it stays, except before a character that All Caps or Small
Caps sets as two letters (ß as SS). A change of font, size, scale or
OpenType features still shapes the characters apart, and a ligature or
a mark still does not join characters in different styles.

 - **Devanagari shaping:** with an OpenType Devanagari font, Ka, virama and Ssa (क्ष) form one conjunct glyph, Ra and virama before a consonant (र्क) become a reph drawn after it, the i matra (कि) is drawn before its consonant, and Ka with a nukta is drawn like the precomposed क़ (U+0958), as [Microsoft's Devanagari shaping specification](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/script-development/devanagari) describes. Each syllable is one cluster of its source bytes, and the arrow keys stop at its ends. A click inside a syllable drawn with several glyphs puts the caret at the syllable's nearer end, in point, area and path type. Tests: `crates/text/src/tests_devanagari.rs`; they print SKIPPED when no such font is installed.
 - **Vertical punctuation:** fullwidth `！` (U+FF01) and `？` (U+FF1F) use their nominal glyph upright when no vertical alternate is present, following the Tu fallback in [Unicode UAX #50 §3.1](https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr50/#vo). Code-built test fonts cover point and area type with and without `vert` alternates, retain the rotated fallback for a bracket and long vowel mark, and leave horizontal type unchanged. Tests: `crates/text/src/tests_vertical.rs`.
   - Free Distort's dialog (Effect › Distort & Transform › Free Distort…) shows a box in the proportions of the first selected object's bounds with a handle on each corner. Dragging a handle moves that corner. A handle focused by a click or Tab moves 1% of the box with each arrow key, and 10% with Shift. Reset puts the four corners back on the box. The preview and OK run `effect.apply`, or `effect.setParams` when the dialog edits an applied effect, and the Appearance panel's inline editor opens the dialog with Edit….

+- **Kerning across style runs:** characters that differ only in fill, stroke, underline, strikethrough, overprint, character style name, leading, baseline shift, rotation, Character Alignment, kerning, or tracking that keeps or drops ligatures alike are shaped together, so restyling one character keeps the font's kerning pairs with its neighbors. A character with manual kerning that follows one with automatic kerning keeps the font's kerning with it (unless All Caps or Small Caps sets it as two letters, as ß becomes SS), and its value replaces the font's kerning after it. A ligature does not form across a change of style, and a change of font, size or OpenType features still shapes the characters apart. Behavior reference: [Line and character spacing](https://web.archive.org/web/20260916050333/https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/line-character-spacing.html) (public documentation). Tests: `crates/text/src/tests_typo.rs`, `crates/text/src/tests_bidi.rs`.
 - **Type:** Character size, leading, baseline shift and horizontal-scale controls account for object/group transforms (#1034): exact document-point sizes, mixed-value display and keyboard increments, range edits, resettable horizontal stretch, undo/redo and native save/reopen (`tests_typescale`, Character panel tests). Point size is the transformed em-height axis, independent of glyph ink bounds; affine rotation, reflection and shear are retained. Group scaling still scales text; preserving font sizes is a separate enhancement.

Text Wrap, Type on a Path effects (Rainbow/Skew/3D Ribbon/Stair Step/Gravity) and Options (Flip, Align to Path, Spacing; OK keeps the type where it is), type on a path's start, centre and end brackets (Selection and Direct Selection drag them to set where the type runs, slide it along its path and, across the path, flip it: #429), Character and Paragraph Styles (override-preserving redefine), paragraph attributes per paragraph (alignment, indents, spacing, hyphenation, hanging punctuation, tab stops, paragraph style, direction, mojikumi and leading model; the Paragraph, Tabs and Paragraph Styles panels act on the paragraphs the Type tool's selection or caret touches, Return continues the paragraph's style, threads and SVG keep them), Area Type Options (rows/columns/inset/first baseline, vertical Align Top/Center/Bottom/Justify per row/column, reflowing non-rectangular frames and text wrap), threaded text across any closed shapes, Fit Headline, the Every-line Composer for justified and ragged text (paragraph-wide breaks for an even rag, Single-line per object from the Paragraph panel menu or `text.setFormat {composer}`). Area type resizes like Illustrator's type areas: a bounding-box handle drag (Selection tool) or Area Type Options Width/Height size the frame and the text reflows at its size (threads too); Direct Selection drags a frame corner or edge (`text.reshapeArea`). Point type still scales. Auto Size: the frame height follows the text after every edit, in the same undo step (rectangular frames of horizontal type in one row; columns get the least height that holds them; a height set by hand or threading turns it off), and the "Auto Size New Area Type" preference gives it to new area type. Shrink Text to Fit (beyond Illustrator): overflowing area type scales its sizes, leading and baseline shifts down by the largest factor (in 0.1 pt steps of the first run, down to a minimum percentage) that fits, at layout time so every export sees it. `text.areaOptions` and `document.inspect` report overflow and the shrink factor. The Selection tool shows the type widget beside selected type's bounding box (hollow on point type, filled on area type); double-clicking it converts between them (Type › Convert To Area Type / Convert To Point Type), keeping the text and its styles in place. Variable fonts list every named instance as a style of their family (Figtree Light to Black and their italics, Bahnschrift, Segoe UI Variable), and the instance chosen is shaped, drawn, outlined and measured at its axis settings; PDF and SVG embed it as that instance. Variation axis sliders are not done. Beyond Illustrator: inline graphics (`text.insertInline`, Type ▸ Insert Inline Symbol) set a document symbol in a run of type as one character that flows, wraps and justifies like a glyph (InDesign-style inline objects, e.g. mana symbols in card rules text): sized to a multiple of the font size, centred on the cap height, opening up tall lines, following Redefine Symbol; a character of its run's size for Character Alignment and Top-to-Top leading, placed by the bidi reordering in right-to-left text (a neutral U+FFFC); drawn on the canvas, kept as live text plus a `<use>` in SVG and as vector art in PDF; Backspace removes it whole. Hebrew and Arabic are laid out right to left with the Unicode bidirectional algorithm (embedded Latin and numbers keep their direction, lines put in visual order after wrapping) in point, area and path type, with caret, selection and arrow keys in visual order; each paragraph's direction comes from its first strong character unless Paragraph Direction sets it (Paragraph panel with Show Indic Options, `text.setFormat {direction}`), and new type aligns to the start of its direction. SVG export outlines right-to-left text. Arabic typefaces: builds made with a craft-fonts checkout that holds its Arabic families (Noto Sans Arabic, the Arabic fallback, plus Cairo, Tajawal, Almarai, IBM Plex Sans Arabic, Noto Kufi Arabic, Amiri, Alexandria, Fustat, Reem Kufi, Aref Ruqaa and Gulzar once craft-fonts adds them, storytold/craft-fonts#11; releases get them when their craft-fonts pin moves) list them in the font menus on desktop; the web build fetches them from beside the wasm (Noto Sans Arabic before start, so Arabic never shows as boxes, the rest in the background). Font Size and Leading are combo boxes in the Character and Properties panels (Font Size in the Control bar too, beside the Character link, font family and style): type, step with ↑/↓ or the spinner, scrub the label, or pick a preset (6–72 pt, shown in the type unit; Leading also Auto), each pick one undo step; Kerning and Tracking list -100…200; a size, leading, kerning or tracking the selected text doesn't share shows blank (#458). Type › Bold and Italic (beyond Illustrator, as page layout apps have them; Cmd+Shift+B / Cmd+Shift+I while the Type tool edits text) switch the selected type to its family's own Bold or Italic face and back, keeping its width (a Narrow face stays Narrow); a family without that face says so (#724). The commands that make or restyle type (and the MCP `add_text` tool) say in their result when area type does not fit its frame, and `add_text` takes Auto Size and Shrink Text to Fit (#1500, fixes #1471). Print and Print Preview warn about the area type and type on a path that prints without the text that doesn't fit, and give their ids. A tab stop in the Tabs panel drags from where the press landed, a stop just added included (#1487, fixes #1458). Area type in a non-rectangular shape moves a word too wide for the top lines down to the first line that holds it instead of breaking it (#1617, fixes #1615). Stylistic sets (ss01–ss20), stylistic and titling alternates, proportional and lining figures, and superscript and subscript glyphs can be turned on as OpenType features of a character style (`text.setStyle {features}`), and the OpenType panel keeps them (#1611, fixes #1607). Escape while typing ends the edit, keeps the type selected and switches to the Selection tool (#1802, #1686, #1656). Select › Same matches type on its characters' fill and stroke (#1746, #1737). `text.create`, `text.createInPath` and the MCP `add_text` tool take `justify`, so point type can be centred on or end at its point (#1752, #1748).
 - **Paragraph alignment:** the shared Paragraph/Properties alignment row leaves every button unselected when the paragraphs it acts on differ. Auto resolves per paragraph; choosing an alignment uses the existing command. Headless paragraph_mixed_alignment_* regressions exercise mixed → Center → Undo, caret/uniform states, Unicode range boundaries, Auto/direction, split runs and grouped text. These regressions and full integration CI pass. Original captures confirm mixed → Center → Undo in the existing alignment-button layout. The [public Paragraph panel guide](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/design-with-text/edit-format-text/paragraph-panel-overview.html) lists the seven controls, but does not specify mixed-state rendering. Other paragraph fields remain outside this change; scores and hours unchanged.
   For Auto Size area type in columns, the bisection for the frame's height runs on the lines of the one-column layout, and its result is checked with at most two layouts of the columns. When the text wraps around objects or does not fit the one-column layout, or when the check fails, the columns are laid out at every step of the bisection, as before. Typing at the start of a story of 50,000 characters in 2 columns took 1,670 ms a keystroke and now takes 292 ms (release build, `auto_height_in_columns_typing_timing`).

Subject: [PATCH 079/184] .ai import: a Drop Shadow with Darkness comes in with
 its Darkness

An object whose art style had a Drop Shadow with Darkness (a csrc
other than 0 in the shadow filter's dictionary) came in as its drawn
look, with a warning that its appearance isn't editable yet. With a
Color shadow instead, the same object comes in as itself with its
fill, stroke and shadow.

The reader now reads such a shadow as Drop Shadow with shade
"darkness" and darkness set to the filter's dark value, a percentage
kept within 0 to 100, or 100 when the value is missing or not a
finite number. The shadow's other keys are read as for a shadow with Color,
and the object comes in as itself wherever it would with a shadow with
Color. A shadow with Color comes in with the same params as before.
The import fuzz's .ai tokens now include csrc and dark.

Subject: [PATCH 080/184] Character: Small Caps, Superscript and Subscript
 buttons and menu items set the text

The Character panel's Small Caps, Superscript and Subscript buttons
were disabled, with "(on the roadmap)" tips, and always drawn off, and
the panel menu's items of the same names were disabled, although
text.setFormat and text.setRangeStyle already set smallCaps and
position. The reference app applies all three from the Character
panel menu.

The three buttons and menu items now turn small caps and the
superscript or subscript position on and off for the selected type, or
for the text the Type tool has selected, in Document Setup's
proportions. Turning Superscript on turns Subscript off, and turning
Subscript on turns Superscript off. They show as on when the first
selected character has the attribute, as the All Caps, Underline and
Strikethrough toggles do.

docs/mcp.md did not mention smallCaps and position; it now describes
them for text.setFormat and text.setRangeStyle.

Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.

+position (by default 58.3% of the font size, moved by 33.3% of it), and `"normal"` puts them back on the baseline.

 - **Kerning across style runs:** characters that differ only in fill, stroke, underline, strikethrough, overprint, character style name, leading, baseline shift, rotation, Character Alignment, kerning, or tracking that keeps or drops ligatures alike are shaped together, so restyling one character keeps the font's kerning pairs with its neighbors. A character with manual kerning that follows one with automatic kerning keeps the font's kerning with it (unless All Caps or Small Caps sets it as two letters, as ß becomes SS), and its value replaces the font's kerning after it. A ligature does not form across a change of style, and a change of font, size or OpenType features still shapes the characters apart. Behavior reference: [Line and character spacing](https://web.archive.org/web/20260916050333/https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/line-character-spacing.html) (public documentation). Tests: `crates/text/src/tests_typo.rs`, `crates/text/src/tests_bidi.rs`.
 - **Type:** Character size, leading, baseline shift and horizontal-scale controls account for object/group transforms (#1034): exact document-point sizes, mixed-value display and keyboard increments, range edits, resettable horizontal stretch, undo/redo and native save/reopen (`tests_typescale`, Character panel tests). Point size is the transformed em-height axis, independent of glyph ink bounds; affine rotation, reflection and shear are retained. Group scaling still scales text; preserving font sizes is a separate enhancement. Behaviour reference: [Transform text](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/design-with-text/edit-format-text/transform-text.html) (public documentation). Text Wrap, Type on a Path effects (Rainbow/Skew/3D Ribbon/Stair Step/Gravity) and Options (Flip, Align to Path, Spacing; OK keeps the type where it is), type on a path's start, centre and end brackets (Selection and Direct Selection drag them to set where the type runs, slide it along its path and, across the path, flip it: #429), Character and Paragraph Styles (override-preserving redefine), paragraph attributes per paragraph (alignment, indents, spacing, hyphenation, hanging punctuation, tab stops, paragraph style, direction, mojikumi and leading model; the Paragraph, Tabs and Paragraph Styles panels act on the paragraphs the Type tool's selection or caret touches, Return continues the paragraph's style, threads and SVG keep them), Area Type Options (rows/columns/inset/first baseline, vertical Align Top/Center/Bottom/Justify per row/column, reflowing non-rectangular frames and text wrap), threaded text across any closed shapes, Fit Headline, the Every-line Composer for justified and ragged text (paragraph-wide breaks for an even rag, Single-line per object from the Paragraph panel menu or `text.setFormat {composer}`). Area type resizes like Illustrator's type areas: a bounding-box handle drag (Selection tool) or Area Type Options Width/Height size the frame and the text reflows at its size (threads too); Direct Selection drags a frame corner or edge (`text.reshapeArea`). Point type still scales. Auto Size: the frame height follows the text after every edit, in the same undo step (rectangular frames of horizontal type in one row; columns get the least height that holds them; a height set by hand or threading turns it off), and the "Auto Size New Area Type" preference gives it to new area type. Shrink Text to Fit (beyond Illustrator): overflowing area type scales its sizes, leading and baseline shifts down by the largest factor (in 0.1 pt steps of the first run, down to a minimum percentage) that fits, at layout time so every export sees it. `text.areaOptions` and `document.inspect` report overflow and the shrink factor. The Selection tool shows the type widget beside selected type's bounding box (hollow on point type, filled on area type); double-clicking it converts between them (Type › Convert To Area Type / Convert To Point Type), keeping the text and its styles in place. Variable fonts list every named instance as a style of their family (Figtree Light to Black and their italics, Bahnschrift, Segoe UI Variable), and the instance chosen is shaped, drawn, outlined and measured at its axis settings; PDF and SVG embed it as that instance. Variation axis sliders are not done. Beyond Illustrator: inline graphics (`text.insertInline`, Type ▸ Insert Inline Symbol) set a document symbol in a run of type as one character that flows, wraps and justifies like a glyph (InDesign-style inline objects, e.g. mana symbols in card rules text): sized to a multiple of the font size, centred on the cap height, opening up tall lines, following Redefine Symbol; a character of its run's size for Character Alignment and Top-to-Top leading, placed by the bidi reordering in right-to-left text (a neutral U+FFFC); drawn on the canvas, kept as live text plus a `<use>` in SVG and as vector art in PDF; Backspace removes it whole. Hebrew and Arabic are laid out right to left with the Unicode bidirectional algorithm (embedded Latin and numbers keep their direction, lines put in visual order after wrapping) in point, area and path type, with caret, selection and arrow keys in visual order; each paragraph's direction comes from its first strong character unless Paragraph Direction sets it (Paragraph panel with Show Indic Options, `text.setFormat {direction}`), and new type aligns to the start of its direction. SVG export outlines right-to-left text. Arabic typefaces: builds made with a craft-fonts checkout that holds its Arabic families (Noto Sans Arabic, the Arabic fallback, plus Cairo, Tajawal, Almarai, IBM Plex Sans Arabic, Noto Kufi Arabic, Amiri, Alexandria, Fustat, Reem Kufi, Aref Ruqaa and Gulzar once craft-fonts adds them, storytold/craft-fonts#11; releases get them when their craft-fonts pin moves) list them in the font menus on desktop; the web build fetches them from beside the wasm (Noto Sans Arabic before start, so Arabic never shows as boxes, the rest in the background). Font Size and Leading are combo boxes in the Character and Properties panels (Font Size in the Control bar too, beside the Character link, font family and style): type, step with ↑/↓ or the spinner, scrub the label, or pick a preset (6–72 pt, shown in the type unit; Leading also Auto), each pick one undo step; Kerning and Tracking list -100…200; a size, leading, kerning or tracking the selected text doesn't share shows blank (#458). Type › Bold and Italic (beyond Illustrator, as page layout apps have them; Cmd+Shift+B / Cmd+Shift+I while the Type tool edits text) switch the selected type to its family's own Bold or Italic face and back, keeping its width (a Narrow face stays Narrow); a family without that face says so (#724). The commands that make or restyle type (and the MCP `add_text` tool) say in their result when area type does not fit its frame, and `add_text` takes Auto Size and Shrink Text to Fit (#1500, fixes #1471). Print and Print Preview warn about the area type and type on a path that prints without the text that doesn't fit, and give their ids. A tab stop in the Tabs panel drags from where the press landed, a stop just added included (#1487, fixes #1458). Area type in a non-rectangular shape moves a word too wide for the top lines down to the first line that holds it instead of breaking it (#1617, fixes #1615). Stylistic sets (ss01–ss20), stylistic and titling alternates, proportional and lining figures, and superscript and subscript glyphs can be turned on as OpenType features of a character style (`text.setStyle {features}`), and the OpenType panel keeps them (#1611, fixes #1607). Escape while typing ends the edit, keeps the type selected and switches to the Selection tool (#1802, #1686, #1656). Select › Same matches type on its characters' fill and stroke (#1746, #1737). `text.create`, `text.createInPath` and the MCP `add_text` tool take `justify`, so point type can be centred on or end at its point (#1752, #1748).
+  The Character panel's Small Caps, Superscript and Subscript buttons and the panel menu's items of the same names turn small caps and the superscript or subscript position on and off for the selected type, or for the text the Type tool has selected (`text.setFormat` or `text.setRangeStyle` `{smallCaps, position}`), in Document Setup's proportions. Turning Superscript on turns Subscript off, and turning Subscript on turns Superscript off. A button or item shows as on when the first selected character (at a caret, the character before it) has its attribute.
 - **Paragraph alignment:** the shared Paragraph/Properties alignment row leaves every button unselected when the paragraphs it acts on differ. Auto resolves per paragraph; choosing an alignment uses the existing command. Headless paragraph_mixed_alignment_* regressions exercise mixed → Center → Undo, caret/uniform states, Unicode range boundaries, Auto/direction, split runs and grouped text. These regressions and full integration CI pass. Original captures confirm mixed → Center → Undo in the existing alignment-button layout. The [public Paragraph panel guide](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/design-with-text/edit-format-text/paragraph-panel-overview.html) lists the seven controls, but does not specify mixed-state rendering. Other paragraph fields remain outside this change; scores and hours unchanged.
   For Auto Size area type in columns, the bisection for the frame's height runs on the lines of the one-column layout, and its result is checked with at most two layouts of the columns. When the text wraps around objects or does not fit the one-column layout, or when the check fails, the columns are laid out at every step of the bisection, as before. Typing at the start of a story of 50,000 characters in 2 columns took 1,670 ms a keystroke and now takes 292 ms (release build, `auto_height_in_columns_typing_timing`).
   An edit copies a thread's story only when it changes one of the thread's frames: with a story of 50,000 characters threaded through 8 frames with a style change at every word, moving another object took 7.8 ms and now takes 0.013 ms, and a frame of a drag took 7.2 ms and now takes 0.012 ms (release build, `threaded_story_edit_timing`).

Subject: [PATCH 081/184] Actions: Batch keeps files named after data sets
 inside the destination folder

Batch over data sets names each output file after the document and the
data set, as the reference app's File + Data Set Name option does. It
joined that name onto the destination folder as it was, and a data set
name can hold any character. A data set named a/b failed to save, and
one named a/../../x wrote its file outside the destination folder. On
Windows, one named c\d also failed to save, and one named e:f left an
empty file.

The data set's name now goes through file_part, which Export for
Screens uses for its file name prefix and a format row's suffix, so
output file names have - in place of /, \ and : from a data set's name.
When two data sets then give the same name, compared without case, the
later ones get -2, -3 and so on, as artboard file names do, through a
distinct_names helper split out of unique_file_names. This covers the
folder destination and Override Save/Export.

Subject: [PATCH 082/184] Type: redefining a text style back to a default
 updates the text that uses it

A style captured from text left out the attributes that the text's
JSON skips at their defaults, such as the Hyphenation options, the
Composer, tab stops, Auto kerning and the character alignment.
Redefining a paragraph or character style from text set
back to the defaults therefore did not reach the text using the
style: a paragraph that had the old Hyphen Limit or Single-line
Composer from the style kept it. setAttrs dropped a default value it
was given in the same way.

New and Redefine now capture every attribute of the selected text,
and charStyle.setAttrs and paraStyle.setAttrs keep a default value.
When a style changes, text whose value equals the old definition's
takes the new value, a default included. Local overrides on text that
uses a style other than the Normal styles stay, and an attribute that
setAttrs leaves out still leaves the text's value alone. The Character
Styles and Paragraph Styles panels compare the attributes a style holds
with the same attributes of the selection. A paragraph style made from
type with Auto alignment no longer shows "+" on that type.

Two existing behaviors change. Applying a style made with New or
Redefine from text, without Clear Overrides, now also sets the
attributes that text had at their defaults, such as Auto kerning, no
OpenType features, the Every-line Composer, no tab stops and the
default Hyphenation options. Redefining [Normal Paragraph Style] or
[Normal Character Style] from text gives every paragraph or run that
uses it those attributes too, so local values of them on that text are
reset.

 - **Artboard tab-switch follow-up:** changing the active document through its tab aligns the Artboard tool with the displayed board before Properties Delete; clicking the already-active tab preserves multiselection and Move/Scale Artwork options. Three headless `chrome::tests::artboard_document_tab_*` regressions cover actual tab A → B → A clicks followed by Properties Delete, surviving boards and guides, preserved artwork/symbols and Undo/Redo; controls cover same-tab multiselection, Move/Scale Artwork options and other tools. Historical focused validation on `dbd2497b` recorded one expected RED failure with two passing controls, then all three GREEN tests passed. All three also passed in historical full CI on `a0671777`. A full CI retry on the five-unit combined source at `a0671777` passed all seven stages with 6,613 test outcomes on 2026-10-14. An earlier full-CI run on the identical source panicked in the randomized `ai_mutated_save_never_panics` test; the cause remains unresolved. This five-fix batch does not claim to repair that failure.
 - **Artboard clean active-tab close (2026-10-15):** with the Artboard tool active, closing a clean active tab restores the surviving document's displayed board before Properties Delete. Nine targeted checks passed: three existing tab regressions, one clean close/Delete regression and five existing unsaved-document controls. The close regression checks the correct surviving board, preserved artwork/symbols and object selection, affected guides, one Delete edit, saved state and Undo/Redo. Three reviewed original full-app headless captures show the active tab before closing, the surviving document's shown board after closing, and the correct survivor after Properties Delete, using the actual tab × and Delete controls.
 - **Character-style Auto leading:** capture and explicit style attributes retain Auto as a reset, distinct from omitted leading. Redefine and later numeric updates preserve local leading overrides; the Character Styles marker recognizes Auto correctly. Regression assertions cover partial definitions, Undo/Redo and native save/load serialization. Public references: [Character and paragraph styles](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/character-paragraph-styles.html) and [Leading](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/line-character-spacing.html).
+- **Text styles redefined to the defaults:** New and Redefine Character Style and Paragraph Style capture every attribute of the selected text, including those at their defaults (Auto kerning, Roman baseline alignment, the default Hyphenation options, the Every-line Composer, no tab stops), and `charStyle.setAttrs` and `paraStyle.setAttrs` keep an attribute set to its default value. After a redefinition, text whose value still equals the old definition's takes the new value, a default included; local overrides and attributes the new definition leaves out stay. The style panels show "+" only where the text differs from its style, including type with Auto alignment. Public reference: [Character and paragraph styles](https://web.archive.org/web/20260825113735/https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/character-paragraph-styles.html).
 - **Width Point Edit:** Shift-double-click enables Adjust Adjoining Width Points; plain double-click and direct opening retain the default. Tool dispatch and headless dialog tests cover neighboring widths, Undo/Redo and Cancel. Public reference: [Variable-width strokes](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/stroke-object.html).

Subject: [PATCH 083/184] i18n: file filters, preset names and mark styles are
 translated in every complete language

Labels that the UI looks up through a variable or a context (#1259) had
rows only in the Bulgarian, Czech, Greek, Spanish, Finnish, French,
Polish, Brazilian Portuguese and Swedish catalogs. In German, Hungarian,
Italian, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Ukrainian, Vietnamese and both
Chinese, the UI showed most of them in English: the file dialogs' filter
names, the status bar's render and UI timings, New Document's preset
name, and the contributor tooltips with their plurals. The Printer mark
type list showed English "Roman" in each of those languages except
Hungarian, and in Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese and both Chinese it
showed the language's name for Japanese.

Those catalogs get the rows, each next to its related entry. German also
gets rows for the 3D gizmo's light, which the UI showed as "Hell"
(bright), and for Grain's Regular type, which the UI showed in English.
complete_catalogs_translate_render_site_labels requires the rows those
catalogs get and the light's row in every complete catalog, and checks
German's Regular row.

   - Screen readers get a name for the Tools panel's tool buttons, flyout rows, floating strips and tear-off bars, and for the icon buttons, text buttons, toggles, checkboxes, radio buttons, tabs, chips, sliders, angle dials and combo boxes that panels and dialogs draw with `crates/ui-egui/src/widgets.rs`: the text, label or tool tip each one shows, or a name of its own where it shows none (the angle dial, the spinner, the preset arrow, the color wheel and the Reference Point's squares). The tool buttons, toggles, checkboxes, radio buttons, tabs and the Reference Point's nine squares also report whether they are on, an icon button that is lit, such as the chosen Align To button, reports that it is pressed, and the angle dial reports its angle. The status bar's First, Previous, Next and Last Artboard buttons have tool tips.
   - Panels undock (#495): a dock tab, a panel icon or a popped-out panel's title dragged out of the dock floats that panel inside the window, and the strip right of the dock's tabs floats the whole tabbed group. A floating group moves by its title bar, a tab dragged out of it floats on its own, and dropped on another group's title bar or tabs it stacks with that group; dropped on the dock, which lights up under the pointer, its panels go back where they live (the tabbed group or the icon column), as its × and the panel menus' Float Panel / Dock Panel do (`window.panel.float`, `window.panel.dock`). The Tools panel floats by its title bar and docks again on the window's left edge. Floating groups stack into sets: dropped on the upper or lower half of another group (a line shows where), a group joins it right above or below it, and the set's groups stack top to bottom, each showing one panel, moving together by the top group's title bar, whose × docks them all; a group dragged by its tab strip leaves the set (`window.panel.float {below, above}`). A double-click on a tab collapses a floating group to its tabs (`collapsed`). Sets dropped on the left edge of the icon column or of another dock column dock as dock columns (a multi-column dock, `window.panel.dock {column}`), whose groups stack, tab and tear out as a floating set's do, and whose top strip floats the column again. Floating panels, their sets and the Tools panel's position are kept with the preferences and in user workspaces, and clamped into a smaller window. Not done: panels in separate OS windows, docking a panel into the default tabbed group it doesn't belong to, reordering tabs by dragging, collapsing a set or dock column to icons, dock columns right of the default dock, resizing floating panels and the groups of a set.
   - The dock's double arrow collapses Properties, Layers and Libraries to icons at the top of the icon column, popping out like the other icon panels, and expands them again (`window.collapseDock`, kept with the preferences and in saved workspaces). The icon column's own arrow (expanding the icon panels into a full column) is not done.

Names are never translated (fonts and their styles, layers, artboards, saved presets, user libraries, custom workspaces, recent files, plug-ins).
   - Native macOS menu bar, vector tool cursors, a ⌘K command palette, middle-button panning with any tool. Native menus explicitly end tracking on command selection, outside window presses and Escape; menu updates wait until tracking ends, and a dismissing press never starts a canvas gesture (M14.8).
   - The macOS menu bar is built from the in-window menus (one model, `native_menu`) and laid out as a Mac app's: the VectorCraft menu holds About, Settings ▸ (each Preferences page, General… ⌘K), Language ▸, Appearance ▸ (UI brightness), Services, Hide VectorCraft ⌃⌘H (⌘H stays Hide Edges), Hide Others, Show All and Quit; Window gains Minimize ⌃⌘M, Zoom and Bring All to Front, and Help the system's search field. Its key equivalents go back to egui as key presses, so user shortcuts, focused text fields and the Type tool's input method behave as in the window, and nothing fires twice; enabled, check marks and labels update in place. `--in-window-menus` or `VECTORCRAFT_IN_WINDOW_MENUS=1` keeps the menus in the window; `ui.inspect` reports `nativeMenuBar`.

Subject: [PATCH 084/184] Render: every raster export warns about an
 undecodable image inside a pattern

A raster export warns that "an image couldn't be decoded and is
missing from the picture" when the count of failed decodes rose while
it drew. A pattern fill draws from a tile kept for each thread, and a
tile taken from that cache draws none of its art. Only the export that
made the tile counted the image, and later exports of the document gave
no warning although their pictures lacked the image too. The raster
kept for a blurred or filtered object had the same fault: the renderer
that draws pattern tiles keeps those rasters from one tile to the next,
so a tile drawn again took such an object from its raster and counted
nothing.

A kept tile and a kept effect raster now store how many decodes failed
on their thread while they were made, and each draw from them adds that
number to the count again.

Subject: [PATCH 085/184] Effects: effect.apply and effect.setParams refuse a
 color the effect can't draw

effect.apply and effect.setParams stored any string as the color of
Drop Shadow, Inner Glow, Outer Glow and Shift to Color. When the
effect could not read it, it drew its default color with no message,
so a typo such as #ff00 in the Drop Shadow dialog turned the shadow
black.

The commands now refuse such a color before they edit, with
"`color` must be a #rrggbb color", and the document and its undo
history stay as they were. Hex colors, the five named colors,
[r, g, b] and color objects still pass. The check runs in the
commands, so the app, command.batch steps and replayed journals get
it too. The effect dialog's OK shows the error and keeps the dialog
open, with Preview on or off. Saved documents open as before.

Docs: docs/mcp.md (effect params).

file.saveAsTemplate kept a name whose extension named another format

JSON to card.png, and card.pdf typed in the desktop save panel got it
too. file.saveAs {format: "ait"} answered that document.export writes
other formats, but document.export does not write .ait either.

file.saveAsTemplate now replaces another format's extension (card.png
is saved as card.vctemplate, or card.ait for format: "ait") and adds
the extension to a name whose extension names no format. The desktop
panel adds the template's extension to any name that does not end in
a template extension (card.pdf.vctemplate), as Save As adds its own.
Save and Save As still refuse ait, and the error now names
file.saveAsTemplate.

   - `.vectorcraft` (lossless JSON, compressed, atomic saves, save down to v1), Save As with a format chooser, Save a Copy, Revert, templates, Data Recovery after a crash (browser tabs hold their copies with Web Locks too, so a background tab's copies are never taken for a crash's, and a tab repairs copies another removed when it resumes: #367), background save and export. The desktop app writes its warnings and errors (graphics adapter, a lost graphics device, panics the guard recovered from) to standard error and to `logs/vectorcraft.log` next to the preferences, the two previous runs kept and each file capped at 16 MiB, so a launch without a terminal still leaves something to attach to a bug report (#465). Native documents with a lot of path data (traced or generated art, in layers, symbols or patterns) are saved as compact JSON, about a fifth of the size; small documents stay pretty-printed (#1492). Saving to a network drive on macOS falls back to a plain fsync when the share refuses a full flush (#1625, part of #1620; not confirmed on a real share), and a save still succeeds when a folder refuses the temporary file, the rename over the document or copying permissions: the content is written elsewhere first and copied in, and a failed copy keeps the temporary file and names it (#1649, part of #1620). A document opened by a relative path finds its relatively linked images, and `vectorcraft-cli convert` lists what reading the input left out as `importWarnings` (#1606, fixes #1604).
   - macOS: the save sheet of Save As, Save a Copy, Save as Template and the first Save of a new document has a Format menu that lists each format the save can write, with the suggested file's format selected. Choosing a format changes the extension in the name field, and a name typed without an extension gets the chosen format's. A name typed with another listed extension is saved in that format. The menu is set up before the sheet opens; a save panel with one file type is shown by rfd as before (#866, `apps/vectorcraft/src/mac_save_format.rs`).
   - Save as Template writes a PDF-compatible `.ait` as well as a `.vctemplate`, which stays the default: the save panel and the web build's Save as Template dialog list both, and New from Template opens the `.ait` as an untitled document with its layers and art (`file.saveAsTemplate {format: "ait"}`, or a path ending in `.ait`).
+    Save as Template always writes a file named with its template type's extension: `file.saveAsTemplate` saves a path ending in another format's extension (`card.png`) as `card.vctemplate` (or `card.ait`), the desktop save panel adds `.vctemplate` to a name typed with a Save As format's extension (`card.pdf.vctemplate`), and `file.saveAs` and `document.save` refuse `ait` with an error that names `file.saveAsTemplate`.

Overprint is kept from PDF import (opened, the PDF part of an `.ai`, placed) to PDF export: the graphics state's `/OP` and `/op` become the overprint of fills, strokes and type, so a spot colour over a process colour still overprints; a page whose overprint can't be read for certain knocks out with a note, as does `/OPM 0` being read as nonzero overprint (#1388; hand-written fixtures, `pdf/src/tests_import_overprint.rs`). A masked CMYK image (`/SMask`, `/Mask` or a colour key) keeps its inks too, its alpha coming in as a greyscale opacity mask.

Subject: [PATCH 088/184] Artboards: Duplicate Artboards, Copy and Cut take
 every selected artboard

With several artboards selected, the Artboards panel menu's Duplicate
Artboards copied only the active one, and Copy and Cut with the
Artboard tool took only the tool's active artboard.

artboard.duplicate, artboard.copy and artboard.cut now take `indices`,
and without `index` or `indices` they act on the artboards the
Artboard tool has selected. Duplicate Artboards passes the selected
artboards and selects the copies. Duplicate and Cut are one undo step
each, and Paste adds every copied artboard back, with its art, in one
undo step. The copies keep their places relative to each other,
together right of the last artboard. A cut fails when it names every
artboard.

   Choosing the Artboard tool (Shift+O, its toolbar button, Edit Artboards in Properties or Document Setup, or the Artboards panel menu's Artboard Options…) starts it on the active artboard: the canvas outlines that artboard, and Delete, Cut, Copy, the Transform panel and Artboard Options act on it.
   Object › Artboards › Fit to Selected Art resizes the active artboard (`artboard.fitToSelection {index}`). It used to resize artboard 1 whichever artboard was active. When an action plays, its Fit to Artwork Bounds and Fit to Selected Art steps that name no artboard resize the artboard that is active then.
   Object › Artboards › Fit to Artwork Bounds and the Artboards panel menu's Fit to Artwork Bounds fit each selected artboard (those the Artboard tool has selected, else the active one) to the art on it, as the public [Use the artboard context menu](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/create-manage-artboards/organize-manage-artboards/use-artboard-context-menu.html) page describes (`artboard.fitToArt {indices}`). An object partly on an artboard counts for each artboard it overlaps, and an artboard with no art on it keeps its size and place. They used to fit the active artboard to all the art in the document.
+  The Artboards panel menu's Duplicate Artboards copies each selected artboard (those the Artboard tool has selected, else the active one) with its art, in one undo step, and the copies are then selected, as the public [Use the artboard context menu](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/create-manage-artboards/organize-manage-artboards/use-artboard-context-menu.html) page describes. With the Artboard tool, Copy and Cut take every selected artboard with its art, as the public [Cut, copy, and paste artboards](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/create-manage-artboards/organize-manage-artboards/cut-copy-and-paste-artboards.html) page describes, and Paste brings them all back in one undo step (`artboard.duplicate`, `artboard.copy` and `artboard.cut` with `indices`). The copies keep their places relative to each other, together right of the last artboard. All three used to act on the active artboard only.
   The canvas draws the active artboard's edge in black, as the public [Select artboards](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/create-manage-artboards/add-edit-artboards/select-artboards.html) page describes. It draws the other artboards' edges in gray. With several artboards selected by the Artboard tool, the canvas draws the black edge around the active one, which the tool shows with handles and its name. It used to draw artboard 1's edge in black whichever artboard was active.
   View › Rotate View turns the view to the status bar's preset angles (`view.rotate {angle}`, which takes any angle). View › Rotate View to Selection turns the view to the angle of the selected objects' bounding box, so the box is square to the window (`view.rotateToSelection`).
   When the view angle changes (a Rotate View drag, the status bar's angle menu, Reset Rotate View or a saved view) and the desktop app renders the frame at the new angle on the render worker, the canvas draws the last frame turned to the new angle until that frame is ready. It used to draw no art until then.

Subject: [PATCH 089/184] Images: sampling and recoloring decode images past
 512 MB, up to 2 GB
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

rgba_within checked an image's size as RGBA against the allowance it
was given (2 GB on the desktop), then decoded the image within the
image crate's default limit of 512 MB. An image whose decoded pixels
take more than 512 MB, such as an RGBA image of 11,586 × 11,586 pixels,
was refused although the canvas draws it: the Eyedropper picked up
nothing from it, and Edit Colors, Recolor Artwork, print separations
and the color adjustment effects in export and Expand Appearance left
its pixels as they were.

The decoder's limit is now the allowance that rgba_within is given.
An image decoded as RGBA is no longer copied before it is used.

   - Dialogs move by dragging their heading (the band down from the top edge, as a title bar), stay on screen and keep where they were moved for the session; the form dialogs' choices are dropdowns (Offset Path's Joins, Average's and Shear's and Reflect's axis), and Offset Path lists Offset, Joins, Miter Limit and previews (#423).
   - Dialogs open with their first field focused and its value selected: type a value and press Enter (Move, Rotate, Scale…). A dialog opened from a menu takes the keyboard focus every time it opens, not only the first (#1367), and one whose first field starts greyed out (Blend Options on Smooth Color, Layers Panel Options) gives the focus to that field once it is enabled (#1395). Number fields in panels, the Control bar and dialogs (preferences too) step with Up/Down, or with the mouse wheel over the focused field (#485: a notch a step; the panel under it then stays put, and an unfocused field leaves the wheel to scrolling) (Shift: ten, Ctrl/Cmd: a tenth of their unit), applied at once.
   - Scrubby labels (#400, beyond Illustrator, as in Photoshop): dragging a numeric field's label left or right (the ↔ cursor shows over it) steps the value one unit every 2 points (Shift: ten, Ctrl/Cmd: a tenth; counts stay whole), in the field's unit and within its limits, applied live as the art follows; the whole drag is one undo step and Escape puts the value back. A click on the label focuses the field; the text box itself never scrubs, and a field with no label doesn't. Text labels before a field (Transform, Properties, Control bar, Stroke, Transparency, form rows in dialogs) and the Character and Paragraph panels' icons act as labels. Preferences › General › Scrub Numeric Fields by Dragging (on by default) turns it off.
-  - In the Transform panel, the Properties panel's Transform section and the Control bar, Alt+Enter (Option+Return) applies a value to a copy of the selection and selects the copy, in one undo step. With anchor points selected with Direct Selection it applies the value to them, as Enter does. Ctrl/Cmd+Enter in W or H applies the value and scales the selection proportionally with the link off. With the Artboard tool, it scales the active artboard proportionally.

With the Artboard tool, it scales the active artboard proportionally. A percentage typed alone in W or H (`50%`) is that share of the size the field shows, and the link and Ctrl/Cmd+Enter keep the proportions as with a length (#2401).
   - The Control bar's underlined Transform link opens the Transform panel in a popover under it (reference point, X/Y/W/H, Rotate and Shear with their icons and angle presets, flips, shape properties, Scale Corners and Scale Strokes & Effects), as its Stroke link does the Stroke panel; X/Y/W/H also show inline while the bar has room. The reference point locator is nine squares, the outer eight joined around the box.
   - In isolation mode the Control bar has an Exit Isolation Mode button (`object.exitIsolation`), except while a pattern is edited. Outside isolation mode, with one group, compound path, path, image, mesh or placed file selected, it has an Isolate Selected Object button (`object.isolate`), which also isolates a path inside a group that Direct Selection selected.
   - Tab shows and hides the panels (in the Type tool it types a tab) without moving the keyboard focus onto a field, so the next shortcut or letter still works; in dialogs and panel fields it moves between fields.

Subject: [PATCH 094/184] View: Show Transparency Grid is saved with the
 document

Native files remember the grid like the saved view, so reopening restores it.
Toggling it is still view state: no undo step, document not marked modified.

Fixes #1968

 - **Done:** Asset Export / raster Art Optimized edges supersample so shapes that meet edge to edge leave no ghost seam (#983, #1037; `assets.export` abutting-rects regression; Asset Export panel thumbs use the same supersample).
 - **Done (2026-10-14):** Align and Distribute act on the anchor points selected with Direct Selection: the points of one path align to each other, not to the artboard, and Distribute spaces them (#1641, fixes #1636; aligning to a key anchor is still missing). Delete removes every selected anchor of a closed path (it used to remove the wrong ones), removes objects selected whole along with the selected anchors of others, and keeps the remainder selected so a second Delete removes it (#1674). In isolation mode Direct Selection and Group Selection pick only inside the isolated object (#1666). Escape cancels a Direct Selection drag (#1803, #1743). Escape while typing ends the edit, keeps the type selected and switches to the Selection tool (#1802, #1686, #1656). A filled Pencil path keeps a stroke of None (#1804, part of #1679). In the Pathfinder panel a group selected alone counts its nested shapes, so an expanded stroked object keeps the Shape Modes enabled (#1642, #1635). Object › Expand turns radial, grid and mirror repeats into groups of their instances (#1765, #1756). Select › Same matches type on its characters' fill and stroke (#1746, #1737). Roughen with Smooth keeps turn-backs smooth instead of making cusps that draw as spikes (#1646, #1643). Scribble draws one zig-zag per region, with no lines across holes and notches; convex shapes are unchanged (#1651, #1648).

 ## Revision history
 
 | Date | Change | Summary |
 |---|---|---|
+| 2026-10-16 | minor | Native documents restore transparency grid visibility (#1968); save/open regression covers on/off, old files and SVG; scores and hours unchanged (estimated) |
 | 2026-10-16 | minor | EPS editing data: legacy mesh corners, vector opacity masks and compound member paint retained; raster page comparison filters minification without relaxing limits; scores and hours unchanged. Synthetic EPS/parser/minification regressions; user EPS/SVG/JPG kept local. |
 | 2026-10-16 | minor | Correction to M12: quick Image Trace presets trace at once; the Image Trace button opens the adjustment controls (<https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/image-trace-results-optimization.html>). Wording only; status unchanged. |
 | 2026-10-16 | minor | Batch exporting in Export for Screens (#1935): a file name pattern (document and item names, a counter, the date), folders per format, item or both, Layers and Selection tabs with thumbnails, EPS, AI and VectorCraft rows, a PDF row with printer's marks, and export presets (built-in Logo Package and Print-Ready PDF, saved ones); scores and hours unchanged (estimated) |

   - **Appearance:** the Appearance panel's selected row drives every paint, stroke, gradient and transparency edit (`item` on the commands); effects apply to one fill or stroke; per-item Opacity popups, whose blend-mode list and opacity slider stay open inside them (#430; the Control bar's Stroke popover too); Mixed Appearances, Layers target dots and basic-appearance rules. Effects can be reordered, moved between items and copied by dragging; Show All Hidden Attributes; clicking an effect edits it in place; the object thumbnail drags onto art; effects render on type, images, symbols, blends, envelopes, meshes and repeats, and per-item raster effects export. Groups, layers and type have their own fills, strokes and effects (Contents and Characters rows); the Layers panel's target circles target layers, groups and objects; Expand Appearance turns fills, strokes, effects and brushes into objects.
     Fill and stroke paint (Fill, Stroke, None, Apply Last Color and Apply Last Gradient, also on characters selected with the Type tool), the Stroke panel's options, gradient and freeform point edits, Swap Fill and Stroke, Default Fill and Stroke, the Eyedropper, and the Appearance panel's item edits, Clear Appearance, Reduce to Basic Appearance, Remove Item, item reordering and Move Appearance record no undo step when they change nothing.
     A geometry effect on one of type's own fills or strokes reshapes the whole outline that the fill or stroke paints, on the canvas and in exports; PDF, SVG, EPS and the other vector exports write such type as paths. On type that holds inline graphics, those effects are drawn and exported only when the type has a geometry effect or perspective of its own.
-  - **Masks and clipping:** opacity-mask controls work while the mask is being edited; transparency commands take ids and work without a selection; clipping sets clip by compound paths, even-odd paths, text and groups on screen and in raster export, matching SVG/PDF. Alt-click shows only the mask; SVG masks keep Clip and Invert; the transparency grid is per-document state; a clipping path's own fill and stroke paint behind and over the clipped art; layers can be clipping masks.

   - **Transparency:** three-state Knockout Group (on, neutral, off), Opacity & Mask Define Knockout Shape, Page Isolated Blending and Page Knockout Group, on screen and in SVG/PDF. SVG export writes a knockout group of opaque art plainly, without masks, so shapes meeting edge to edge leave no seam; translucent, blended, masked or brushed art knocks out through masks. Blend modes match the standard formulas on screen, in SVG and in PDF, and non-isolated groups blend with the art below. Flatten Transparency with presets, a dialog and a Flattener Preview panel.
     On the canvas, the renderer no longer draws the picture of the art below back as an image each time it copies the backdrop of a non-isolated group that blends: it keeps that picture and draws the art that follows over it. At 2880 × 1800, 50 translucent groups with Multiply members take 65 ms a frame instead of 299 ms on 8 threads (`vectorcraft-cli bench`), and the frames have the same pixels.
     Type inside a group, layer, symbol instance, blend or repeat keeps its opacity, blend mode, opacity mask, Opacity & Mask Define Knockout Shape, own effects, perspective and visibility when the effects on the container outline it. Hidden type with a geometry effect of its own is left out of exports.

Subject: [PATCH 095/184] Layers: the panel menu's Save Selection submenu
 saves, lists and updates saved selections
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The Layers panel menu had no saved-selection items, and the Select
menu was the only menu that listed saved selections. The reference
app's help also names a Save Selection menu in the Layers panel that
lists the saved selections and holds Save Selection, Update Selection
and Edit Selection.

The Layers panel menu now has a Save Selection submenu after Locate
Object. It holds Save Selection…, Update Selection and Edit Selection…,
which are enabled and run as in the Select menu, and below them the
active document's saved selections. Choosing a name runs select.recall
with that name, as the Select menu's list does.

Make Repeat and Live Paint no longer fail on such a list, New Symbol no longer stores the object twice, and `object.transform` no longer moves it twice.
   - **Compound paths:** Make keeps the backmost object's appearance and each contour; selecting a member in Direct Selection reads and changes the compound's fill rule in Attributes. Direction remains a per-member edit. Rendered holes, unchanged contour geometry, no-op history and Undo/Redo are covered by `engine/tests/compound_attributes.rs` (#1197). Behaviour reference: [public compound-path documentation](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/manage-objects/reshape-transform-objects/create-compound-paths.html). Make Compound Path on a group (such as outlined type) keeps the paint of its backmost path instead of drawing nothing, and compound paths joined into one keep their holes (#1537).

A file's saved selections are capped and checked against its objects when it opens.
     Select ▸ Update Selection replaces the objects of the saved selection last recalled with the selected objects, in one undo step that marks the document changed (`select.update`). After Edit Selection… renames that saved selection, Update Selection replaces it under the new name; after Edit Selection… deletes it, Update Selection is disabled until another saved selection is recalled or the delete is undone. Undo and Redo do not change which saved selection is recalled.
   - **Drawing modes:** in Draw Inside, a double-click with a selection tool outside the object being drawn into sets the drawing mode to Draw Normal, as Shift+D does.
   - **Drawing:** Pen, Curvature, anchor tools, Pencil, Paintbrush, Blob Brush, Smooth, Path Eraser, Join. Direction handles dragged with Direct Selection or the Anchor Point tool snap to smart guides, and Shift keeps them at 45° steps from their anchor. The Pen continues any open path from the end clicked, and while drawing, a click on an end of another open path joins the two into one (#776). The Curvature tool edits any selected path, whatever drew it, keeping its shape except where edited (#798): a click on a point makes it current and a drag moves it, re-curving only its two segments; Alt-click or double-click toggles it smooth or corner and Delete removes it; a click on a segment adds a point without changing the shape; with an end of an open path current, clicks go on from it and its other end closes it (`path.curvatureEdit`). Every point a drawing tool places snaps to Smart Guides through one snapper (#506): the Pen's and Curvature tool's anchors, the Pencil's ends, the shape tools' start and dragged corner or radius (Rectangle, Rounded Rectangle, Ellipse, Polygon, Star, Line Segment, Arc, Spiral, the grids), the Type tool's click and frame, a new artboard's corners.

 - **Releasing ruler guides:** View › Guides › Release Guides turns the selected ruler guides into paths with no fill or stroke. An artboard guide becomes a line across its artboard, and a canvas guide becomes a line across the artboards (`view.guides.release {index?, ids?}`).
 - **Layers panel:** every layer, sublayer, group and object is a clickable row at any depth: a click highlights it and makes its layer current (new art goes there), Shift-click a range, Ctrl/Cmd-click toggles. Sublayers are no longer treated as objects: clicks, marquees, Select All and the Select menu take the art inside them, and each sublayer selects in its own colour. Selection squares on rows with selected art (click selects a row's art, Shift adds or removes; dragging the square moves the selection to another row, Alt copies), the eye and lock on every row with drag-down-the-column (one undo step), Ctrl/Cmd-click an eye for per-layer Outline, Alt-click an eye or lock to hide or lock the other layers (again: show or unlock them all), triangles with Alt to open or close everything inside, drag and drop rows above, below or into layers and groups with a drop line (Alt copies) and a dimmed copy of the row under the pointer (dropped on the trash rows are deleted, on New Layer duplicated, as in Illustrator), inline rename, Delete key on highlighted rows. Buttons and the full panel menu: New Layer/Sublayer (Alt: options, Ctrl: on top), Duplicate, Delete, Options for Selection, clipping mask, isolation, Locate Object, Merge Selected, Flatten Artwork, Collect in New Layer, Release to Layers (Sequence and Build), Reverse Order, Template, Hide/Outline/Lock Others and Show/Preview/Unlock All, Paste Remembers Layers, Panel Options (row size, thumbnails per kind, Show Layers Only). Layer Options: name, colour (presets, each with a chip of its colour, or custom), Template, Lock, Show, Print, Preview (outline drawing and clicking) and Dim Images to %. Every operation is a command (`layer.move`, `layer.highlight`, `layer.merge`…) with validation against cycles and invalid nesting. A document opens with only its top-level layers open; the rows left open are saved in the native file (nothing is written for the default) and reopen that way. Only the rows scrolled into view are laid out, from a row list made once per change: a layer of 5,000 groups of 10 paths, all open, draws the panel in 0.4 ms a frame instead of about 29 s (#638).
   The Filter button at the right of Search All keeps the rows that are of an object kind ticked under By Object (paths, shapes, text, images, effects, groups, linked files, guides) and in a state ticked under By Layer (locked, hidden), with the rows that hold them; a section with nothing ticked takes every row. The filter combines with the search, the button is lit while a filter is on, and Clear All in its popup turns the filter off (`ui.layersFilter`). The filter lasts the session.
+  The panel menu's Save Selection submenu has Save Selection…, Update Selection and Edit Selection…, enabled and run as in the Select menu, and lists the document's saved selections: choosing one selects its objects again (`select.recall`).
   `object.setProps` with `visible: false` or `locked: true` deselects every selected object that is then hidden or locked, the key object included, as the eye and lock columns do.
   Ctrl/Cmd+Alt-clicking an eye switches the other layers to Outline and the row's layer to Preview, or switches all layers back to Preview when the others are in Outline (`layer.outlineOthers`, `layer.previewAll`).
   Object › Arrange › Send to Current Layer returns the error "the target layer is locked or hidden" and leaves the selected objects where they are when the current layer is hidden or locked, or is inside a hidden or locked layer.

Subject: [PATCH 096/184] Character: Reset Panel resets every attribute the
 panel shows except the font and size
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The Character panel menu's Reset Panel reset tracking, leading,
kerning, baseline shift, the scales, rotation, underline,
strikethrough and All Caps, but left Small Caps, superscript or
subscript, Character Alignment, Proportional Metrics and Digits at
their custom values.

Reset Panel now also sets those five to their defaults in the same
text.setFormat call, with the values taken from CharStyle::default().
It resets them in the same characters as the other attributes: those
of the selected type, or, while the Type tool edits text, its
selection (all of that text at a caret). It resets them whether or
not Show East Asian Options and Show Indic Options (Preferences ›
Type) are on.

Subject: [PATCH 097/184] Guides: a Cmd/Ctrl+Shift double-click releases the
 guide under the pointer
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

A double-click on a ruler guide with the Selection, Direct Selection or
Group Selection tool did nothing, whatever keys were held. A guide could
be released only with View › Guides › Release Guides.

With the Selection, Direct Selection or Group Selection tool, a
double-click with Cmd/Ctrl and Shift held now runs view.guides.release
on the ruler guide under the pointer (index) or, when no ruler guide
is there, on the guide path under it (ids). Nothing is released while
guides are hidden or locked, and a double-click without both keys does
what it did before.

 - **Ruler guides as layer objects:** a guide goes on the current layer, shows, hides, locks and is deleted with it, is listed in the Layers panel (its row selects it) and moves to another layer (`guide.setLayer`, or its row dragged onto that layer's rows); guides on a hidden or locked layer can't be selected, moved or deleted, Duplicate copies a layer's guides and Merge Selected and Flatten Artwork keep them on the merged layer; guides from files saved before guides had layers go on the top visible, unlocked layer when the document opens. Not done: guides stacked among the art of their layer (they are listed above it), a guide row's own eye and lock. Lock Guides also locks the objects made into guides: they can't be selected, moved or deleted (#1543); they are drawn in the guide colour and style of Preferences, and a dragged selection snaps to ruler guides with Smart Guides on (#1583, fixes #1534). The Transform panel shows a selected ruler guide's X or Y, and typing a value moves it (#1659, part of #1597). This is not established by the documentation we could find: the public help pages on guides, rulers and the Transform, Control and Properties panels (read again on 2026-10-14) describe selecting and dragging unlocked guides and the panels' X and Y for a selection, not a guide's position in a panel, and the one public statement of it is a user's [community answer](https://community.adobe.com/questions-652/adding-a-new-custom-guide-785586), which is not documentation. It is kept as a convenience pending the owner's decision, with no parity claim and nothing counted towards a score.

A Cmd/Ctrl+Shift double-click with the Selection, Direct Selection or Group Selection tool releases the ruler guide or guide path under the pointer.
 - **Layers panel:** every layer, sublayer, group and object is a clickable row at any depth: a click highlights it and makes its layer current (new art goes there), Shift-click a range, Ctrl/Cmd-click toggles. Sublayers are no longer treated as objects: clicks, marquees, Select All and the Select menu take the art inside them, and each sublayer selects in its own colour. Selection squares on rows with selected art (click selects a row's art, Shift adds or removes; dragging the square moves the selection to another row, Alt copies), the eye and lock on every row with drag-down-the-column (one undo step), Ctrl/Cmd-click an eye for per-layer Outline, Alt-click an eye or lock to hide or lock the other layers (again: show or unlock them all), triangles with Alt to open or close everything inside, drag and drop rows above, below or into layers and groups with a drop line (Alt copies) and a dimmed copy of the row under the pointer (dropped on the trash rows are deleted, on New Layer duplicated, as in Illustrator), inline rename, Delete key on highlighted rows. Buttons and the full panel menu: New Layer/Sublayer (Alt: options, Ctrl: on top), Duplicate, Delete, Options for Selection, clipping mask, isolation, Locate Object, Merge Selected, Flatten Artwork, Collect in New Layer, Release to Layers (Sequence and Build), Reverse Order, Template, Hide/Outline/Lock Others and Show/Preview/Unlock All, Paste Remembers Layers, Panel Options (row size, thumbnails per kind, Show Layers Only). Layer Options: name, colour (presets, each with a chip of its colour, or custom), Template, Lock, Show, Print, Preview (outline drawing and clicking) and Dim Images to %. Every operation is a command (`layer.move`, `layer.highlight`, `layer.merge`…) with validation against cycles and invalid nesting. A document opens with only its top-level layers open; the rows left open are saved in the native file (nothing is written for the default) and reopen that way. Only the rows scrolled into view are laid out, from a row list made once per change: a layer of 5,000 groups of 10 paths, all open, draws the panel in 0.4 ms a frame instead of about 29 s (#638).
   The Filter button at the right of Search All keeps the rows that are of an object kind ticked under By Object (paths, shapes, text, images, effects, groups, linked files, guides) and in a state ticked under By Layer (locked, hidden), with the rows that hold them; a section with nothing ticked takes every row. The filter combines with the search, the button is lit while a filter is on, and Clear All in its popup turns the filter off (`ui.layersFilter`). The filter lasts the session.
   The panel menu's Save Selection submenu has Save Selection…, Update Selection and Edit Selection…, enabled and run as in the Select menu, and lists the document's saved selections: choosing one selects its objects again (`select.recall`).

Subject: [PATCH 099/184] EPS: images encoded with CCITTFaxDecode draw
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The PostScript interpreter that reads EPS and PostScript files had no
CCITTFaxDecode filter. Reading a file whose image data went through it
stopped at an error naming the filter, and the file opened from a
fallback, such as its preview or the art drawn before the image, or
did not open.

CCITTFaxDecode now decodes CCITT Group 4 (ITU-T T.6) and Group 3
one-dimensional and mixed (ITU-T T.4) data to rows of 1-bit samples.
It reads K, Columns, Rows, EndOfBlock, EndOfLine, EncodedByteAlign and
BlackIs1 (PLRM 3rd ed., §3.13; ISO 32000-2, §7.4.6). With EndOfBlock
the data ends at its EOFB or RTC regardless of Rows, and the RTC of
mixed Group 3 data, six EOLs each with a tag bit, is found by the
filter. Damaged data keeps the rows decoded before it, and damage in
the first row is an ioerror. Columns outside 1 to 65,535 and Rows
below 0 are a rangecheck, and data that would decode to more than
256 MiB is refused. hayro-ccitt 0.3.0, already in Cargo.lock through
hayro-syntax, becomes a dependency of vectorcraft-eps.

The tests encode their images in the test, with the fax crate's
Group 4 encoder and T.4 run codes (a dev-dependency, already in
Cargo.lock through tiff), and fail without the change. The import fuzz
tests read a Group 4 and a Group 3 image coded by hand from the T.4
and T.6 tables, read the same file with random damage, and add the
filter and its parameters to the hostile programs.

   - EPS and DXF in and out, EMF/WMF in and out; PNG (with PNG-8), JPEG, WebP, GIF, TIFF, BMP, Targa and layered PSD export; grayscale TIFFs with an alpha channel or other extra channels place, relink and open, the alpha as the image's transparency (#1466 in part; CCITT Group 3 files are not read); PSD and PSB files open and place, linked or embedded, as their merged image in every colour mode and depth (#918). EPS import runs a PostScript Level 3 interpreter written from the PostScript Language Reference: resource categories and `resourceforall`, local and global VM (`currentglobal`/`setglobal`/`gcheck`), `clipsave`/`cliprestore`, subarrays and substrings that share storage, the standard dictionaries in `systemdict`, `dictstack`, `internaldict`, executable filters and strings, `load` by any key, `//name` immediate names, `token`, `execform`, user paths, `cshow`, `rootfont`, `cachestatus`, colour rendering and halftone queries, file `status` and data read with `flushfile`, and `pdfmark` marks dropped (Discord feedback, #466, #469, #474). Masked images (`ImageType 3` in its three interleavings) and reusable streams are read, and an image's several data sources are read in turn, as the reference defines (procedures that read one file get their own rows: such images came in banded, #498). `restore` puts dictionaries back as they were at the `save`, so programs that count their saves in a dictionary read to their end (part of #505). Tiling patterns come in as pattern swatches, uncoloured ones too; Type 3 fonts' glyphs as their outlines, spaced by `ashow`/`widthshow`/`xshow`/`kshow`; mesh and function-based shadings (types 1, 4–7) as gradient meshes; sampled functions (type 0) and Flate/LZW predictors are read. It is tested with programs written from the specification in the ways common generators use these features; Inkscape/cairo EPS files open as vectors. When a file's PostScript still can't be read, it opens as its TIFF preview, its Windows metafile preview (as vectors) or its EPSI preview, and the warning (in the status bar, `document.open`/`app.open`/MCP `open_file` replies and `vectorcraft-cli info`) names the error, the operator that raised it and the procedures it ran in. Legacy PostScript `.ai` files (Illustrator 3–8, written with the prolog that defines their operators) keep their groups and nested groups (`u` … `U`), between and inside clipping groups; EPS and EMF/WMF import nest clips (and groups) at most 128 deep, so a hostile file can't exhaust the stack. DXF TEXT justified Fit or Aligned spans its two points (stretched, or scaled as a whole). PDF export writes type as real, searchable text in embedded subset fonts by default, as Illustrator's PDF presets do (Convert Text to Outlines is an option; printer's marks stay shapes), so text-heavy PDFs stay small (#733). DXF export writes each fill as its outlines followed by its hatch, so laser and cutter software, which skips hatches, gets filled art and type too (#546).
   - TIFFs that store each channel as its own plane (PlanarConfiguration 2) place, relink and open as the same image stored pixel by pixel does, 8 and 16 bits: grayscale with an alpha channel or other extra channels, and CMYK with or without them. A planar CMYK TIFF keeps its ink amounts and is stored as a CMYK TIFF with each pixel's inks together, at the file's resolution. A TIFF whose header claims more strips or tiles than can be counted is refused as too large to draw (#1466 in part; `crates/engine/src/cmd/fileio/tests.rs`).
   - EPS and PostScript import keeps a CMYK image's ink amounts, as PDF import does: the samples of `image` and `colorimage` in a CMYK color space, and of a CMYK JPEG read through `DCTDecode`, come in as a CMYK TIFF, read through the image's Decode array, and the pixels a `MaskColor` or `ImageType 3` mask hides become a grayscale opacity mask (`crates/eps/src/import/tests_images.rs`). Such images came in as RGB PNGs.
+  - EPS and PostScript import reads image data through `CCITTFaxDecode`: Group 4 (ITU-T T.6) and Group 3 one-dimensional and mixed (ITU-T T.4) data, with the filter's `K`, `Columns`, `Rows`, `EndOfBlock`, `EndOfLine`, `EncodedByteAlign` and `BlackIs1` parameters, decodes to 1-bit rows for `image` and `imagemask`. Damaged data keeps the rows decoded before it (damage in the first row is a PostScript `ioerror`), and parameters out of range or past the 256 MiB limit on decoded data are refused (`crates/eps/src/import/tests_images.rs`). Reading such a file stopped at an error naming the filter, and the file opened from a fallback, such as its preview or the art drawn before the image, or did not open.
   - DXF control-point SPLINE import honors its closed flag (#1299 follow-up after #1320 fixed export), including rational curves; open curves whose endpoints meet stay open. Own-fixture regressions cover controls/knots, fit-point fallback and all export versions (`crates/cad/src/import/tests.rs`, `crates/cad/src/tests.rs`); native save/read checked; CIRCLE/ARC fitting, CNC preset and VCarve QA remain pending.
   - Affinity documents in (AF.1–AF.4): `.af` (Affinity 3) and `.afdesign`/`.afphoto`/`.afpub` (Affinity 1 and 2, container versions 8–12) open and place as editable art: layers and sublayers, groups (pass-through or isolated), artboards (with their names and backgrounds) and Publisher pages side by side, curves with live corners, parametric shapes (rectangles with corner radii, ellipses, polygons, stars, pies, triangles, trapezoids), compound shapes, solid/linear/elliptical gradient fills and strokes (weight, dashes, alignment, scale-with-object), clipping by nesting, vector and pixel masks, artistic and frame text with fonts, sizes, tracking, leading and alignment, placed images (their original JPEG/PNG) and pixel layers (8/16-bit RGB, CMYK), opacity, visibility, locking and blend modes, at the document's resolution in points. Effects, adjustments, brushes and pressure profiles, transparency gradients, master pages, symbol instances (imported as their cached picture), special shapes (cloud, heart, cog…, imported as ellipses) and Affinity-only blend modes are named in the import warning. A file whose native data can't be read opens as its embedded preview with the reason, and that preview can't be placed. Save never writes back over the Affinity file and there is no Affinity export. AF.4 adds Affinity 3 artboard recognition and actual-outline clipping, source-backed JPEG/PNG raster tiles, Unicode text-run recovery, stored fallback/exact installed fonts, OpenType feature flags and compound-geometry limits. 51 public CC0/MIT/Apache-2.0 files (33 current `.af`), pinned and sha256-verified (`cargo xtask corpus --affinity`), test native retention and every-board native/SVG/PDF/PSD output for current files; selected files compare their saved thumbnails. No Affinity reopen or independent paired PSD oracle was available; [source audit and complex-font gaps](affinity-validation.md); [scope, provenance and limits](../crates/affinity/README.md).
   - Placed documents: File › Place of a `.vectorcraft` file links to it by default (`file.place`'s `link`): one locked object showing an artboard of the document (or its art's bounds), read the way placing it without Link reads it, its symbols, patterns and images kept apart from the document's; without Link (or from bytes, not a file) it is an editable copy as before. It stays vectors in every output (SVG, PDF, EPS, EMF, DXF), and so do placed documents inside it, read from their own files up to 8 levels deep (documents that place each other stop there). On screen they draw from bitmaps cached per file and zoom step, shared by every copy and made in the background (a placeholder until ready), so a sheet of them redraws in about a millisecond; exports and prints draw them exactly. Like linked images, a save keeps only a preview of each (JPEG when opaque) unless Include Linked Files; output, and zooming past the preview, read the file again, falling back to the preview with a warning when it is gone or changed. Saves for older versions write them as plain art. Links check, update, relink, Update Links on open, Link Info (the artboard's size), Placement Options, Break Link (also Embed, Object › Expand: the editable copy placing without Link gives, its resources joining the document), Edit Original (the document in a new tab) and the Links panel cover them; saving a document updates the open documents that place it. The native format (v4) keeps data of 8 KB or more after the JSON instead of base64 in it.

Subject: [PATCH 100/184] File formats: PostScript (.ps) and .epsf files open
 and place

The EPS reader read PostScript by any name, but the Open and Place
dialogs hid .ps and .epsf files, and a .ps or .epsf file whose header
is only %! could not be opened or placed ("not a format VectorCraft
reads"). The reference app lists .eps, .epsf and .ps under Open and
Place.

- A read-only PostScript format (ps) joins the format table. A .ps
  file opens and places through the EPS reader and reports the
  ps format. document.export does not write .ps; file.print does.
- .epsf is an EPS extension.
- OPEN_EXTS and PLACE_EXTS list epsf and ps, so the dialogs, the CLI
  help and the MCP open_file description list them.
  UNASSOCIATED_EXTS lists them too: the macOS bundle declares neither.
- A .ps or .epsf file whose header is only %! now pastes as EPS when
  copied in a file manager, as one with a %!PS header already did, and
  clipboard.importEps reads PostScript whose header is only %!, which
  it rejected before.

     A PDF page whose `UserUnit` (PDF 1.6) is above 1 opens at its size in points, its numbers times the `UserUnit` (one above 75,000 counts as 75,000), and `document.pdfInfo` gives its size and boxes in points too. A `.ai` whose editing data has its artboards in the units of such a page opens from that data at the page's size, with its layers, and when the layers can't be read its pages still take the artboard layout of the data, scaled the same way (part of #1482).
     PDF export and `.ai` saves write a page with a side longer than 14,400 pt with a `UserUnit` (PDF 1.6), its longer side divided by 14,400 and rounded up to the next thousandth, so that no side is longer than 14,400 units (ISO 32000-1, Annex C.2); in PDF 1.3 to 1.5 files and PDF/X files such a page is written in points.
     Placed (linked) files in a `.ai`'s editing data come in as linked images in their place, each showing the low-resolution preview the file keeps of it until its file is found or relinked in the Links panel (a file found next to the document or at its path is read as the document opens). A file with them no longer falls back to its PDF part, so its guides, sublayers and hidden objects open (#1264; `crates/eps/src/import/ai/tests.rs`, `crates/engine/src/tests_links.rs`). In a file opened that way, a gradient with stops in the middle runs its whole ramp across its shape and a gradient object no longer passes its fill to the next path (#1390); text objects with an appearance keep their own text and frame, type of hidden layers stays hidden, and type on later artboards lands on its text objects (#1391); area type whose frame is too short for a line of the fallback font shows its first line, the frame made taller with a warning in the open result (#1392).

It is tested with programs written from the specification in the ways common generators use these features; Inkscape/cairo EPS files open as vectors. When a file's PostScript still can't be read, it opens as its TIFF preview, its Windows metafile preview (as vectors) or its EPSI preview, and the warning (in the status bar, `document.open`/`app.open`/MCP `open_file` replies and `vectorcraft-cli info`) names the error, the operator that raised it and the procedures it ran in. Legacy PostScript `.ai` files (Illustrator 3–8, written with the prolog that defines their operators) keep their groups and nested groups (`u` … `U`), between and inside clipping groups; EPS and EMF/WMF import nest clips (and groups) at most 128 deep, so a hostile file can't exhaust the stack. DXF TEXT justified Fit or Aligned spans its two points (stretched, or scaled as a whole). PDF export writes type as real, searchable text in embedded subset fonts by default, as Illustrator's PDF presets do (Convert Text to Outlines is an option; printer's marks stay shapes), so text-heavy PDFs stay small (#733).

Copied in a file manager, these files paste as EPS, and `clipboard.importEps` also reads PostScript whose header is only `%!` (`crates/engine/src/cmd/fileio/tests_epsimport.rs`).

A planar CMYK TIFF keeps its ink amounts and is stored as a CMYK TIFF with each pixel's inks together, at the file's resolution. A TIFF whose header claims more strips or tiles than can be counted is refused as too large to draw (#1466 in part; `crates/engine/src/cmd/fileio/tests.rs`).
   - EPS and PostScript import keeps a CMYK image's ink amounts, as PDF import does: the samples of `image` and `colorimage` in a CMYK color space, and of a CMYK JPEG read through `DCTDecode`, come in as a CMYK TIFF, read through the image's Decode array, and the pixels a `MaskColor` or `ImageType 3` mask hides become a grayscale opacity mask (`crates/eps/src/import/tests_images.rs`). Such images came in as RGB PNGs.

Subject: [PATCH 107/184] Effects: Smart Blur's Radius widens the edge search
 in Edge Only and Overlay Edge

Smart Blur's Edge Only and Overlay Edge modes marked a pixel when one
of its four nearest pixels differed from it by more than Threshold,
and Radius changed only the blur. The reference app's documentation
says that Radius sets the size of the area searched for dissimilar
pixels.

A pixel is now on an edge when one of the pixels the search reads
within Radius differs from it by more than Threshold and its
channels, alpha included, add up to at least that pixel's. The search
picks its neighbors as the Normal blur does, over the whole pixels of
Radius and within it, and always reads the four nearest pixels.
A color step gives a line about as wide as Radius on the side with
the larger sum, and a Radius of one pixel or less gives the same
edges as before. The edge modes' reach() includes the blurred copy
that a wide Radius reads.
On a 2,000 by 2,000 px image, Edge Only takes 0.49 s at Radius 10 and
0.34 s at Radius 100, and Normal takes 0.73 s and 0.39 s. Normal
draws the same pixels as before.

The frame after the drag runs the effects again and draws what a fresh renderer draws; on the desktop, the canvas renders that frame on the render worker. `texture_drag_perf` times a drag's frames and the frame after it.

Subject: [PATCH 108/184] Paragraph: Reset Panel also resets the Hyphenation
 options

The Paragraph panel menu's Reset Panel turned Hyphenate off but left
the Hyphenation options: Words Longer Than, After First, Before Last,
Hyphen Limit, Hyphenation Zone and Hyphenate Capitalized Words. A
paragraph kept its custom hyphenation limits after a reset.

Reset Panel now also sets those six options to the values of
HyphenationOptions::default(), in the same text.setFormat call. The
reset paragraphs then save no hyphenation options.

Subject: [PATCH 110/184] Fields: Shift+Enter applies a panel field's value and
 keeps the field active

Shift+Enter in a panel or Control bar field ended its editing, as Enter
does. The reference app's default keyboard shortcuts list "Apply value
and keep text box active" under Use panels and "Apply a value and keep
focus in edit field" under Transform panel, both Shift+Enter on Windows
and Shift+Return on macOS.

- A focused single-line field of the shared widgets (num_field,
  mixed_field, plain_field, range_field, spin_field, spin_field_auto,
  spin_plain, text_field, exact_text_field, opt_field and hex_field)
  takes Shift+Enter before its text box reads it, applies the text as
  Enter does and keeps the focus. In the next frame it shows the value
  as it now is, all selected, so typing replaces it.
- A text box of several lines keeps Shift+Enter as a line break.
- While a dialog is open, Shift+Enter applies the field's value and
  confirms the dialog, as before. The app sets widgets::set_dialog_open
  at the start of each frame.

Then Smart Guides › Color, Alignment Guides, Anchor/Path Labels, Measurement Labels, Transform Tools, Object Highlighting (with Smart Guides on) and Snapping Tolerance (4 px by default, for every smart guide snap), then Construction Guides and their Angles (#506: a drawn point near a line at one of those angles through the point it leaves from lands on it). Then Type › Type Object Selection by Path Only (type is picked on the baseline of any of its lines, area type's frame or the path of type on a path, no longer anywhere in its bounds; the Type tools and the Eyedropper still take a click among the characters). Then General › Anti-aliased Artwork (off, the canvas draws the art with hard edges). Then Guides & Grid › Show Pixel Grid (Above 600% Zoom), a line at every document pixel over the art in Pixel Preview, turning with a rotated view as the document grid now does too. Then General › Show The Home Screen When No Documents Are Open (off, closing the last document leaves an empty window; the Home button still opens the screen). Then Units › Numbers Without Units Are Points (on by default: a number typed with no unit into a field in picas is read in points, a typed unit still wins; dimmed unless a unit is Picas). Then User Interface › Auto-Collapse Iconic Panels (off by default: on, a click away from a panel popped out of the icon column puts it away). Then Performance › Animated Zoom (on, with GPU Performance, which it needs and which dims it when off: the Zoom tool dragged sideways zooms about the press, right in and left out, and held still zooms on, Alt out; off, a drag zooms to the area dragged across, now drawn as a marquee), User Interface › Large Tabs (taller document tabs) and Scale Cursor Proportional to UI (off, the tool cursors keep their size whatever the UI Scaling), and File Handling › Display Bitmaps as Anti-aliased Images in Pixel Preview (off by default: Pixel Preview draws images with each pixel taking its nearest image pixel). Type › Auto Size New Area Type works too (new area type gets Auto Size). They reach agents too (`prefs.set`, then `pointer_gesture` or `press_key`; `ui.wheel` on the control channel). Then Smart Guides › Spacing Guides (moves space the selection evenly with its row or column, see Drawing aids). Then Hyphenation › Exceptions (comma-separated words that never break, or break only at their hyphens; `prefs.set` and restore push them into the hyphenator, #394). Then Type › Show Font Names in English (off, font menus label a family by its native-language name when the font has one; documents still use the English family, #394). Then General › Display Print Size at 100% Zoom (off by default: View › Actual Size is one document point per screen point; on, one document inch fills 96 screen points, an inch at the reference density display scaling is set against; `view.actualSize` / `prefs.set`, #394). Then Guides & Grid › Gridline every and Subdivisions (changing either sets the grid of every open document; new and opened documents take that grid too, except a native file and the native document an SVG, PDF, `.ai` or EPS file carries, which open with the grid they were saved with; `file.new`, `document.open`, `file.newFromTemplate`, `file.revert`, #394). Then Appearance of Black › On Screen (Display All Blacks Accurately by default: pure CMYK black shows through the CMYK profile, a dark grey; Display All Blacks as Rich Black shows it on the canvas as RGB black, also in CMYK documents drawn by ink planes, while rich blacks, black tints and images show as before; `RenderOptions::rich_black`, #394). Then Appearance of Black › Printing / Exporting (Output All Blacks Accurately by default; Output All Blacks as Rich Black draws pure CMYK black as RGB black in RGB raster exports and Print as Bitmap; CMYK ink exports and the document stay unchanged; `prefs.blackOutput` / `richBlack`, #394). Then Units › Identify Objects By (Object Name by default: Layers, Variables and Layer Options show and edit free names; XML ID shows and edits AI-style XML ids, `_` for a space and `_xHH_` escapes, and `layer.setProps` / rename refuse invalid ids; the document still stores the object name, #394). About 15 stored options still do nothing yet (the rest of #394: Highlight Alternate Glyphs, East Asian Type units, Open Documents As Tabs, Real-time Drawing and Editing, GPU Performance beyond Animated Zoom, hyphenation language, scratch disks, the legacy clipboard, Touch Workspace).
   - Dialogs move by dragging their heading (the band down from the top edge, as a title bar), stay on screen and keep where they were moved for the session; the form dialogs' choices are dropdowns (Offset Path's Joins, Average's and Shear's and Reflect's axis), and Offset Path lists Offset, Joins, Miter Limit and previews (#423).
   - Dialogs open with their first field focused and its value selected: type a value and press Enter (Move, Rotate, Scale…). A dialog opened from a menu takes the keyboard focus every time it opens, not only the first (#1367), and one whose first field starts greyed out (Blend Options on Smooth Color, Layers Panel Options) gives the focus to that field once it is enabled (#1395). Number fields in panels, the Control bar and dialogs (preferences too) step with Up/Down, or with the mouse wheel over the focused field (#485: a notch a step; the panel under it then stays put, and an unfocused field leaves the wheel to scrolling) (Shift: ten, Ctrl/Cmd: a tenth of their unit), applied at once.
+  - In the number, text and color fields of the panels and the Control bar, Shift+Enter (Shift+Return) applies the value and keeps the field active with its value selected; a text box of several lines takes it as a line break. In a dialog, Shift+Enter applies the value and confirms the dialog, as Enter does.
   - Scrubby labels (#400, beyond Illustrator, as in Photoshop): dragging a numeric field's label left or right (the ↔ cursor shows over it) steps the value one unit every 2 points (Shift: ten, Ctrl/Cmd: a tenth; counts stay whole), in the field's unit and within its limits, applied live as the art follows; the whole drag is one undo step and Escape puts the value back. A click on the label focuses the field; the text box itself never scrubs, and a field with no label doesn't. Text labels before a field (Transform, Properties, Control bar, Stroke, Transparency, form rows in dialogs) and the Character and Paragraph panels' icons act as labels. Preferences › General › Scrub Numeric Fields by Dragging (on by default) turns it off.
   - In the Transform panel, the Properties panel's Transform section and the Control bar, Alt+Enter (Option+Return) applies a value to a copy of the selection and selects the copy, in one undo step. With anchor points selected with Direct Selection it applies the value to them, as Enter does. Ctrl/Cmd+Enter in W or H applies the value and scales the selection proportionally with the link off. With the Artboard tool, it scales the active artboard proportionally. A percentage typed alone in W or H (`50%`) is that share of the size the field shows, and the link and Ctrl/Cmd+Enter keep the proportions as with a length (#2401).
   - The Control bar's underlined Transform link opens the Transform panel in a popover under it (reference point, X/Y/W/H, Rotate and Shear with their icons and angle presets, flips, shape properties, Scale Corners and Scale Strokes & Effects), as its Stroke link does the Stroke panel; X/Y/W/H also show inline while the bar has room. The reference point locator is nine squares, the outer eight joined around the box.

Subject: [PATCH 111/184] Paths: Shift keeps a reshaped segment's handles
 perpendicular and equal in length
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Shift pressed while dragging a segment had no effect on the curve:
Direct Selection's curved-segment and spine-segment drags, the Anchor
Point tool and the Pen with Alt sent the pointer offset alone, and the
segment bent freely. The reference app keeps the handles in the
perpendicular direction and of equal length while Shift is held.

path.reshapeSegment and object.blend.spine.reshapeSegment take
perpendicular (default false, which keeps today's behavior). With it,
both of the segment's handles stand at right angles to the line between
its anchors, on the same side and at the same length, and the point at
t lies as far from that line as the moved point does. A smooth anchor
at either end stays smooth, as it does in a drag without perpendicular,
and a segment whose anchors coincide bends as it does without
perpendicular. With Direct Selection, Shift pressed once a curved
segment's drag has started sends perpendicular; Shift held at the press
still toggles the path's selection, as before. Direct Selection's
spine-segment drag and the Anchor Point tool's segment drag send Shift
as perpendicular too, so the Pen with Alt does as well. A straight
segment dragged with Direct Selection already moves at 45° steps with
Shift.

The Move, Rotate, Scale, Reflect and Shear dialogs have a Preview checkbox, off when they open: while it is on the canvas follows the values, Cancel rolls it back and OK is still one undo step; Up/Down step the Rotate and Shear angles and the Scale percentages by 1, Shift by 10 (#1412). The five dialogs and Transform Each have Transform Objects beside Transform Patterns: off, the art stays and only its pattern tiles transform (`objects` on the transform commands), and Transform Again repeats the choice (#1448; behaviour reference: [scale objects](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/manage-objects/reshape-transform-objects/scale-objects.html); the checkboxes are always enabled and the Scale page's pair is applied to all of them, our choices).

   - **Pen:** Alt pressed in the middle of dragging out an anchor splits its handles and keeps the curve already shaped into it (only the outgoing handle follows the pointer); Space held while dragging out an anchor moves it, handles and all. A press on the first anchor of the path being drawn closes it whatever the drag then does: the drag shapes the closing curve (symmetric handles, Alt breaks them) and the release closes the path wherever it ends (#501). Clicking the last anchor of the path being drawn retracts its outgoing handle (convert cursor), and dragging from it pulls out a new one on its own. Auto Add/Delete: over a selected path, a click on a segment adds an anchor and a click on an anchor deletes it (add and delete cursors); Shift held, or Preferences › General › Disable Auto Add/Delete, starts a new path instead. Alt held over a handle end or an anchor of a selected path (the one being drawn too) works as the Anchor Point tool, with its convert cursor: dragging a handle moves it alone, clicking a smooth anchor makes it a corner, dragging an anchor pulls out new symmetric handles, dragging a segment reshapes it; drawing then goes on. Cmd (Ctrl) held drags with the selection tool chosen last, Direct Selection until one is (handles, anchors and segments of the path being drawn or another), and the Pen then goes on drawing its path while that stays selected; the pointer shows that tool's while Cmd is held. The same holds for agents (`pointer_gesture` with `mods.cmd`), as the borrowing now lives in the engine (#494). With the Pen, a press that moves under 3 screen pixels is a click (a corner without handles), and a Precise Cursors command toggles the existing preference and can take a shortcut (#1663).
   - **Direct Selection (#1278):** clicking a segment picks its connection, with hollow endpoint anchors and only that curve's direction handles. Delete leaves the neighboring curves and appearance intact, opens/splits contours in one undo step, and another Delete removes the remaining selected path. A whole-path drag and deliberate anchor selection keep their existing behavior; egui frames and native control/art checked, OS mouse/visual QA pending. Where anchors of overlapping objects coincide, a click or drag takes the anchor of the selected object, also when another object lies over it (#1509, fixes #1508). Delete removes every selected anchor of a closed path (it used to remove the wrong ones), removes objects selected whole along with the selected anchors of others, and keeps the remainder selected so a second Delete removes it (#1674). In isolation mode Direct Selection and Group Selection pick only inside the isolated object (#1666). Escape cancels a Direct Selection drag (#1803, #1743). Double-clicking type (including type nested inside a group) switches to the Type tool and puts the caret at the clicked character.
+    With Direct Selection, Shift pressed during the drag of a curved segment keeps both of its handles at right angles to the line between its anchors, on the same side and at the same length (`path.reshapeSegment {perpendicular}`). Shift held while any segment is dragged with the Anchor Point tool or the Pen with Alt does the same. A selected blend spine's segment dragged with the Anchor Point tool, or a curved one dragged with Direct Selection, bends the same way (`object.blend.spine.reshapeSegment`).
+  - **Group Selection (#2441):** a click picks one path of a compound path (its outline within the pick tolerance, else the innermost path whose area holds the click: the outer shape or a hole), Shift-click adds another, and a click on a selected path adds the compound path, as a click on a group member climbs to its group.
   - **Live Corners:** drag a live rectangle's corner widgets (Selection or Direct Selection) to round all corners, with a radius readout; with Direct Selection, select corner anchors to show and round just those corners (#381). Each corner keeps its own radius and kind (Round, Inverted Round, Chamfer): Alt-click a widget to cycle the kind, double-click it for the Corners dialog, and the Properties and Transform radius fields set the selected corners (`object.setLiveShape {corners, radius, kind}`). A link toggle behind Corner Radius (the `singleCornerRadius` preference) switches the panels to a field for each corner of a live rectangle: Top Left, Top Right, Bottom Right and Bottom Left. Corners stay circular when the rectangle is scaled unevenly or along its own sides when rotated (the radius keeps its size, or scales by the mean scale with Scale Corners on); only a shear distorts them. On a rectangle that isn't square every corner is the same circle: a radius past half the shorter side stops there for all of them, the widgets sit on the corners as drawn and turn the edited corners red at that limit, CSS export writes the drawn radii, and rectangles saved stretched by older versions get circular corners when their corners are next set (#442). Live Corners work on any path's corners too, as on a rectangle's (#511): a star's, a live polygon's (which also shows them to the Selection tool, has a Corner Radius field in the Properties and Transform panels and keeps its radius as its sides change) and a pen path's, wherever two sides meet at an angle at an anchor that isn't smooth: curved sides too, trimmed to what the cut leaves of them (#1144). Direct Selection shows the widgets of every corner, or of the corners holding selected anchors; each corner is a circle tangent to both sides, drawn no larger than takes its cut halfway along its shorter side; a path keeps its uncut outline so its corners stay editable, and the same command, dialog, angle preference and View › Hide Corner Widget apply. With Direct Selection a click on a widget (no drag) selects its corner, as a click on the corner's anchor does, so the next drag on it rounds that corner alone; Shift-click toggles it (#1239). While a corner widget is dragged with the Selection tool the bounding box hides, so the rounding shows against the path alone (#1229). A round corner next to a curved side curves smoothly instead of sticking out of the shape (#1547, fixes #1512).
     View › Hide Edges hides the Live Corners widgets, the bounding box and the type widget, and the selection tools then do not answer a press on them or change the cursor over them.
   - **Path editing (#494):** the handles shown are the handles that drag: Direct Selection drags those of a path selected as a whole (as the Pen leaves it), the Anchor Point tool and Pen+Alt no longer grab handles that Show handles when multiple anchors are selected hides, a handle shorter than the tolerance leaves its anchor to be picked, and the anchor tools pick within Selection & Anchor Display › Tolerance. A dragged segment keeps a smooth anchor at either end smooth. With Direct Selection, the Pen, the Curvature and the anchor tools, a path selected as a whole shows all its anchors selected, and the Control bar and the Properties panel offer Convert (corner, smooth) for them too; Remove and Cut wait for anchors direct-selected (#504). A handle drag gathers its snap targets once per drag (it took 21 ms per pointer move on a 20,000-path document, now 1 ms; `vectorcraft-cli perf` measures handle and segment drags on a 5,000-anchor path). Join merges the selected anchor points that lie on one another, as after Average, into one anchor (#1582, fixes #1533); Average and Join in one step, with a corner or smooth choice for the joined anchor, is missing ([gap 1](gaps.md)).

Subject: [PATCH 112/184] .ai import: type keeps its own opacity and blend mode

A .ai or EPS opened from its editing data lost the opacity and blend
mode of its text objects. text_slot made the slot without the graphics
state's opacity and blend mode, which paths, meshes and images take, so
an Xy before a text object was lost. An Xy after it reached the slot,
but fill_slots then put type made from the text document in the slot's
place with only its visibility and name, and style_marker dropped the
transparency that a text object with an appearance carries on its look.

text_slot now takes the state's opacity and blend mode. fill_slots
gives made type the slot's opacity, blend mode, isolation and knockout.
The page's type gets them too, in place of its own transparency when
that is none, the slot's, or the slot's combined with that of the
objects around it; otherwise the page's type and the strokes around it
keep their own (a fill's, for example). When the type has transparency
and comes with other art (the strokes the page draws around it, or page
type that goes with it), a group of them takes the transparency. A text
object with an appearance takes the transparency from its look; where
the look draws more than the type and has transparency, the look and
the type go into a group that has it, and that group is not taken as
the look of a later object. The import fuzz's .ai tokens now include a
commented text object, 1 /FreeUndo , and a group's state marker
(6 () XW).

Overprint is kept from PDF import (opened, the PDF part of an `.ai`, placed) to PDF export: the graphics state's `/OP` and `/op` become the overprint of fills, strokes and type, so a spot colour over a process colour still overprints; a page whose overprint can't be read for certain knocks out with a note, as does `/OPM 0` being read as nonzero overprint (#1388; hand-written fixtures, `pdf/src/tests_import_overprint.rs`). A masked CMYK image (`/SMask`, `/Mask` or a colour key) keeps its inks too, its alpha coming in as a greyscale opacity mask.
     SVG import's style cascade, used for hidden objects, non-scaling strokes and type, tests each element only against the `<style>` rules for its id, its classes and its element name, and the rules whose selector ends in none of these (`*`, `[x]`).

+    In a `.ai` or EPS opened from its editing data, type has its text object's opacity and blend mode, whether it is made from the file's text document or taken from the page. Where such type has transparency and comes in with other art (the rest of its look, or page type and strokes that go with it), a group of them has it. Where the page draws its type, or the strokes around it, with transparency that is neither its text object's nor its text object's combined with that of the objects around it, the page's type and strokes keep their own instead (`crates/eps/src/import/tests_native.rs`).
     In SVG export without Fewer `<tspan>` Elements, each character of live type that justification or Mojikumi moves (the letter gaps of a Justify All line without word spaces, the gaps between the characters of a justified Japanese line, closed-up punctuation, the space between Japanese and Latin letters) starts its own positioned `<tspan>`, and type scaled horizontally on a justified line is stretched to its own width (`crates/svg/tests/text_layout.rs`).
     A PDF saved with Illustrator's editing data opens through it as a PDF-compatible `.ai` does, with its layers and groups and with art reaching past its page unclipped; such a PDF holds the data in `AIPDFPrivateData` streams (part of #868). A shape a PDF or `.ai` paints with a gradient (a clip path round a shading) opens as one path filled with the gradient, not a clip group round a rectangle, so Shape Builder, Live Paint and Pathfinder work on its outline (#1304).
     In a `.ai` opened from its editing data, a text object on a layer that shows and doesn't print stays on that layer, made from the file's text document, even where the page doesn't draw it (`crates/eps/src/import/tests_native.rs`).

Subject: [PATCH 113/184] #2405: an envelope's mesh in an .ai isn't read as art

An envelope is written on `%_` lines as a group holding the mesh that shapes
it, with the distortion (`AIDeformStyle`, `DeformValue`) in the group's
dictionary; the distorted art the PDF part draws follows on plain lines. The
reader kept that group, so the mesh drew as a grey gradient mesh behind the
art. A group on `%_` lines that holds only meshes and carries a distortion is
now dropped; a mesh with no distortion is still art.

Subject: [PATCH 114/184] Image Trace: a simpler contour walk with no
 precomputed direction table

contour::trace_mask built a table of outgoing directions for every
pixel corner in a raster pass and then followed it. It now works out
each turn during the walk from the two pixels ahead of the current
corner: right if the one ahead on the right is outside, straight if the
one ahead on the left is, else left (so at a saddle it still turns
right and diagonal pixels stay apart). Loop starts are found by
scanning the pixels for a top edge on the outline, with one flag per
pixel for a top edge already walked. The walk is bounded by the grid
size, and a mask of the wrong length now gives no loops instead of
failing an assert_eq!.

The output is identical: the_walk_equals_the_stored_direction_walk
compares it with a test-only copy of the previous walk on all 65,536
4x4 masks and 400 seeded 23x17 masks.

Time (best of 7, release, 4 cores): the walk alone on 2000x2000 masks
19.1 vs 26.6 ms (smooth pattern), 81.3 vs 93.2 ms (12% random pixels),
223.1 vs 238.1 ms (50% random); whole 1000x1000 traces 73.1 vs 77.1 ms
(Black and White), 249.6 vs 251.7 ms (Color, 6 colours), 214.1 vs
218.6 ms (Color, 6 colours, Noise 1), same segment counts.

 # Image Trace quality
 
-> **Last reviewed:** 2026-10-14 · **Last updated:** 2026-10-14 · **Change:** minor (Gradients: grown over noise and soft rims)
+> **Last reviewed:** 2026-10-14 · **Last updated:** 2026-10-16 · **Change:** minor (Image Trace: a simpler contour walk with no precomputed direction table)
 
 What Image Trace (`crates/trace`) makes of images whose right answer is known, measured by a harness and
 compared with the numbers before each change. Nothing here is a judgement by eye, and nothing is compared
 with any other product except the open tracer named under [Yardstick](#4-yardstick).
 
 
+## A simpler contour walk
+
+`contour::trace_mask` follows each region's outline along the pixel cracks with the inside on the
+right. It used to build a table of outgoing directions for every pixel corner in a raster pass and
+then follow it. It now works out each turn during the walk from the two pixels ahead of the current
+corner (right if the one ahead on the right is outside, straight if the one ahead on the left is,
+else left; so at a saddle it turns right and diagonal pixels stay apart, as before). Loop starts are
+found by scanning the pixels for a top edge on the outline, with one flag per pixel for a top edge
+already walked. A mask of the wrong length now gives no loops instead of failing an assertion.
+

 - **Image Trace, thin closed outlines:** generated `fit::snap_area_tests` verify nonzero interiors after straightening, opposite closed-boundary winding and Noise controls; see [quality notes](image-trace-quality.md#thin-closed-outlines-with-snap-curves-to-lines). Scores and hours unchanged; open-piece fitting is unchanged.
 - **Image Trace small contours:** closed fits too small to form an editable subpath retain their positioned outline, including holes. Source-generated island, hole/winding and stepped-region regressions cover Corners and Noise; defaults, parity scores and estimates are unchanged.
+- **Image Trace, simpler contour walk:** `contour::trace_mask` works out each turn from the pixels during the walk, with no precomputed direction table and no assertion; identical loops to the previous walk on every 4 × 4 mask (see [quality notes](image-trace-quality.md#a-simpler-contour-walk)).
 - **Image Trace, measured:** `crates/trace/tests/quality` traces drawings made from known vector art with every preset and [`image-trace-quality.md`](image-trace-quality.md) records the numbers against the baseline. Black and White, Grayscale and Color place each edge by the blend of the pixels across it (to a fraction of a pixel on anti-aliased and blurred images; hard-edged images are read as staircases) and fit outlines as Flat Logo does. *Measured* on each preset's own inputs, all sizes and variants: Default's outlines went from 0.31 px off on average to 0.09 (largest 1.51 to 1.02), Black and White Logo's from 0.27 to 0.06 with 0.3 kinks per trace where it had 15, and the gaps between abutting paths from 64 px to 22. On clean curved shapes Black and White Logo is 0.02 px off (the open tracer measured beside it: 0.20). The palette is made of the picture's own colours (blends along edges take none of it, colours that noise made of one colour merge, a blend pixel goes to one of the two colours it lies between; #1504): 16 Colors on flat art, all variants, went from 70 paths to 4.2 and from 5.1 px off to 0.13, with no path left in a colour the art doesn't have (5.9 before). Photos are smoothed within their tones before they are quantised and stacked layers go by lightness (#1516): High Fidelity Photo went from 3,653 paths to 121 with its colour error down from 2.30 to 1.75, and a 16 megapixel photo-like image is traced in 3.5 s where 4 megapixels were refused. Since then, by the same harness: outlines are cut at their junctions and each shared piece is fitted once (#1535: gaps and overlaps between abutting paths 22 to 50 px of area down to under 2); layers are traced within the box of their pixels and a few at a time (#1546: a 16 megapixel photo 3.9 GB to 0.9 GB); black and white are read against the image's own black and the paper near each edge (#1563, for thin lines in blurred and scanned art); Ignore Color and the Auto Color and Outline presets (#1574); Snap Curves To Lines levels lines within 2.5 degrees of level or upright (#1593, the angle our choice); Create: Strokes puts centre lines in the middle of their ink and makes them as wide as it (#1595: Outline 0.295 to 0.052 px from the true centre line, 18.4 to 2.7 anchors a stroke); sharp corners whose pixel is mostly outside the shape stay corners (#1609: Default 69% to 76% kept). Three options, each off unless asked for as the legacy presets have them: Shapes (#1609: 57 to 62% of plain circles, ellipses, rectangles and regular polygons come out as live shapes, rounded rectangles rarely), Auto Grouping (#1618: paths grouped with what lies inside them, the same picture) and Gradients (#1627: linear gradients traced as one gradient-filled path; on gradient inputs 6 Colors' colour error 2.12 to 0.62 with 6.4 to 3.4 paths, none found in flat art). Snap Curves To Lines moves no end of a line by more than 1.6 px, so long lines a degree or two off stay as the image has them (#1647: Technical Drawing's largest distance 4.21 px to 1.46). Flat Logo takes the tones a scan's uneven paper makes of one colour for one colour (#1657: on scans 470 paths and 21 px off to 8.5 paths and 0.09 px). Shapes finds rounded rectangles and shapes in aliased, blurred and scanned art (#1845: 57 to 62% of the plain shapes up to 98 to 100%, no false shape but one line 2 px wide). Stroked lines get square caps where their ink is cut square, and a wide end that turned towards a corner goes back on its line (#1846: Outline's largest distance 2.94 px to 0.88, 14 anchors to 10). Each of the 14 documented presets has an enhanced version with Auto Grouping and, in all but High Fidelity Photo, Shapes (#1847), measured beside its preset: equal or better within 0.005 px and 1% of edge ΔE on every preset's own inputs (Default 0.091 to 0.083 px); Auto Grouping keeps traced order in its groups, which removed a light seam along the counters of letters. Gradients grows a gradient over the pixels noise and soft rims took off it (#1848: blurred and noisy linear gradients 3 to 11 paths beside the gradient down to 0.5 with 6 Colors, 24 to 56 down to 0.5 to 1.5 with High Fidelity Photo). Silhouettes is 0.52 px off because its threshold is 200 (0.11 px at 128). Still weak, by the same numbers: rounded rectangles and other line-and-arc outlines take 12 to 16 anchors (the fitter does not split lines from arcs), blurred and scanned polygons lose corners, hairlines under half a pixel are lost to the threshold, aliased art is about 0.25 px off, a scan's uneven paper splits into tones when more colours are asked for than the art has, stroke junctions stay at their skeleton pixels, a three-stop gradient in a small or scanned disc is not found, radial gradients stay bands (a draft, #1849, traces them; the documented option is for linear ones, so it waits for a decision), near-regular polygons a few dozen pixels across are made regular with Shapes (up to 0.5 px off), and aliased stroked lines are 0.8 px off at worst.
 - **Image Trace Flat Logo mode:** a fourth mode beside Black and White, Grayscale and Color, for flat-colour logos. Each pixel is read as a blend of the logo's colours (found automatically or named), the blend is interpolated smoothly and every outline is placed where two colours are equally present, so edges are accurate to a fraction of a pixel. Outlines are then cleaned: corners the blur rounded are put back, near-straight runs and near-circular arcs become exact lines and arcs, the rest is fitted with as few Béziers as the tolerance allows, touching colours overlap by a hair so no gap opens, and an outline that strays from the raw contour is fitted plainly instead. Gradients and photos are refused with advice to use Color. *Measured* (a local experiment, not run in CI): a flat-colour logo's vector original was rendered down to a soft 199 × 100 px transparent PNG, traced, and the result compared with the original at 1600 px wide. The built-in colour presets (6 Colors, 16 Colors, High Fidelity Photo, Low Fidelity Photo) had a mean edge error of 2.5 to 3.4 px and region overlap of 0.88 to 0.91; Flat Logo had 0.78 px and 0.966 (0.48 px and 0.975 from a crisp source), in about 0.1 s. Limits: flat-colour art only; needle-thin sharp tips are shortened by about 1.7 source pixels because the blur erases them; it works at no more than 1024 px on the long side (larger images are averaged down first); only one logo family has been scored against a vector original.

Subject: [PATCH 115/184] Image Trace: Flat Logo traces line art instead of a
 blank result

Flat Logo found its colours only from solid pixels (a uniform 3 x 3
neighbourhood). Line art on paper has no solid area but the paper's: a
stroke one or two pixels wide never fills one, so its colour was a handful
of pixels among tens of thousands of white and was cut as noise (under
0.1% of the solid pixels). The palette came back empty and trace_logo
returned an empty TraceResult, which imageTrace.make reported as a success
with paths 0, anchors 0, colors 0.

Cause: logo::palette::auto_palette had no way to find a colour that has no
solid area, and logo::pipeline::trace_logo treats an empty palette as
nothing to trace.

Fix: when the solid pixels give no colour but white, auto_palette reads
the colours from the strokes' cores instead (line_art_palette): the opaque
ink pixels at least as far from white as each of their four neighbours,
the middle of each stroke where it is least blended with the paper.
Two guards keep that fallback to line art:
- Ink is a colour at least 48 below white in one channel, and the page
  must have ink on at least 1% of its opaque pixels. Light grain and a few
  sparse marks on otherwise blank paper stay blank, as plain white does.
- The lighter shades along a stroke's anti-aliased edge are local maxima
  of their own; a colour that lies on the line from white to a darker
  colour of the palette (within 20) is a blend of that ink with the paper
  and is folded into it (fold_fringes), the ink keeping its colour.
The rest of the pipeline (unmixing, the flat-colour check and its NotFlat
refusal) is unchanged, and images with a solid colour other than white
never reach the fallback.

Tests (code-drawn inputs):
- thin_line_art_on_paper_is_traced_not_blank: four 2.4 px dark strokes
  and two red marks on white. Before: palette [], no paths. After: dark
  and red paths along the middle of every stroke and mark.
- anti_aliased_coloured_lettering_has_only_its_inks: rings, slants and
  bars 1.6 px wide in red, blue and green. Without the fold: six colours
  besides white; after: exactly the three inks.
- sparse_marks_on_paper_are_not_promoted_to_colours: 24 grey 12 x 2 px
  marks of 239, 223 or 191 on a 256 x 256 page (under 1% ink). Without
  the guard: palette [white, #efefef]; after: empty palette, no paths.
- grainy_blank_paper_has_no_ink: paper grain 243-255 traces to nothing.
- edge_shades_fold_into_their_ink_and_other_colours_stay (unit).

 - **Image Trace small contours:** closed fits too small to form an editable subpath retain their positioned outline, including holes. Source-generated island, hole/winding and stepped-region regressions cover Corners and Noise; defaults, parity scores and estimates are unchanged.
 - **Image Trace, simpler contour walk:** `contour::trace_mask` works out each turn from the pixels during the walk, with no precomputed direction table and no assertion; identical loops to the previous walk on every 4 × 4 mask (see [quality notes](image-trace-quality.md#a-simpler-contour-walk)).
 - **Image Trace, measured:** `crates/trace/tests/quality` traces drawings made from known vector art with every preset and [`image-trace-quality.md`](image-trace-quality.md) records the numbers against the baseline. Black and White, Grayscale and Color place each edge by the blend of the pixels across it (to a fraction of a pixel on anti-aliased and blurred images; hard-edged images are read as staircases) and fit outlines as Flat Logo does. *Measured* on each preset's own inputs, all sizes and variants: Default's outlines went from 0.31 px off on average to 0.09 (largest 1.51 to 1.02), Black and White Logo's from 0.27 to 0.06 with 0.3 kinks per trace where it had 15, and the gaps between abutting paths from 64 px to 22. On clean curved shapes Black and White Logo is 0.02 px off (the open tracer measured beside it: 0.20). The palette is made of the picture's own colours (blends along edges take none of it, colours that noise made of one colour merge, a blend pixel goes to one of the two colours it lies between; #1504): 16 Colors on flat art, all variants, went from 70 paths to 4.2 and from 5.1 px off to 0.13, with no path left in a colour the art doesn't have (5.9 before). Photos are smoothed within their tones before they are quantised and stacked layers go by lightness (#1516): High Fidelity Photo went from 3,653 paths to 121 with its colour error down from 2.30 to 1.75, and a 16 megapixel photo-like image is traced in 3.5 s where 4 megapixels were refused. Since then, by the same harness: outlines are cut at their junctions and each shared piece is fitted once (#1535: gaps and overlaps between abutting paths 22 to 50 px of area down to under 2); layers are traced within the box of their pixels and a few at a time (#1546: a 16 megapixel photo 3.9 GB to 0.9 GB); black and white are read against the image's own black and the paper near each edge (#1563, for thin lines in blurred and scanned art); Ignore Color and the Auto Color and Outline presets (#1574); Snap Curves To Lines levels lines within 2.5 degrees of level or upright (#1593, the angle our choice); Create: Strokes puts centre lines in the middle of their ink and makes them as wide as it (#1595: Outline 0.295 to 0.052 px from the true centre line, 18.4 to 2.7 anchors a stroke); sharp corners whose pixel is mostly outside the shape stay corners (#1609: Default 69% to 76% kept). Three options, each off unless asked for as the legacy presets have them: Shapes (#1609: 57 to 62% of plain circles, ellipses, rectangles and regular polygons come out as live shapes, rounded rectangles rarely), Auto Grouping (#1618: paths grouped with what lies inside them, the same picture) and Gradients (#1627: linear gradients traced as one gradient-filled path; on gradient inputs 6 Colors' colour error 2.12 to 0.62 with 6.4 to 3.4 paths, none found in flat art). Snap Curves To Lines moves no end of a line by more than 1.6 px, so long lines a degree or two off stay as the image has them (#1647: Technical Drawing's largest distance 4.21 px to 1.46). Flat Logo takes the tones a scan's uneven paper makes of one colour for one colour (#1657: on scans 470 paths and 21 px off to 8.5 paths and 0.09 px). Shapes finds rounded rectangles and shapes in aliased, blurred and scanned art (#1845: 57 to 62% of the plain shapes up to 98 to 100%, no false shape but one line 2 px wide). Stroked lines get square caps where their ink is cut square, and a wide end that turned towards a corner goes back on its line (#1846: Outline's largest distance 2.94 px to 0.88, 14 anchors to 10). Each of the 14 documented presets has an enhanced version with Auto Grouping and, in all but High Fidelity Photo, Shapes (#1847), measured beside its preset: equal or better within 0.005 px and 1% of edge ΔE on every preset's own inputs (Default 0.091 to 0.083 px); Auto Grouping keeps traced order in its groups, which removed a light seam along the counters of letters. Gradients grows a gradient over the pixels noise and soft rims took off it (#1848: blurred and noisy linear gradients 3 to 11 paths beside the gradient down to 0.5 with 6 Colors, 24 to 56 down to 0.5 to 1.5 with High Fidelity Photo). Silhouettes is 0.52 px off because its threshold is 200 (0.11 px at 128). Still weak, by the same numbers: rounded rectangles and other line-and-arc outlines take 12 to 16 anchors (the fitter does not split lines from arcs), blurred and scanned polygons lose corners, hairlines under half a pixel are lost to the threshold, aliased art is about 0.25 px off, a scan's uneven paper splits into tones when more colours are asked for than the art has, stroke junctions stay at their skeleton pixels, a three-stop gradient in a small or scanned disc is not found, radial gradients stay bands (a draft, #1849, traces them; the documented option is for linear ones, so it waits for a decision), near-regular polygons a few dozen pixels across are made regular with Shapes (up to 0.5 px off), and aliased stroked lines are 0.8 px off at worst.
-- **Image Trace Flat Logo mode:** a fourth mode beside Black and White, Grayscale and Color, for flat-colour logos. Each pixel is read as a blend of the logo's colours (found automatically or named), the blend is interpolated smoothly and every outline is placed where two colours are equally present, so edges are accurate to a fraction of a pixel. Outlines are then cleaned: corners the blur rounded are put back, near-straight runs and near-circular arcs become exact lines and arcs, the rest is fitted with as few Béziers as the tolerance allows, touching colours overlap by a hair so no gap opens, and an outline that strays from the raw contour is fitted plainly instead. Gradients and photos are refused with advice to use Color. *Measured* (a local experiment, not run in CI): a flat-colour logo's vector original was rendered down to a soft 199 × 100 px transparent PNG, traced, and the result compared with the original at 1600 px wide. The built-in colour presets (6 Colors, 16 Colors, High Fidelity Photo, Low Fidelity Photo) had a mean edge error of 2.5 to 3.4 px and region overlap of 0.88 to 0.91; Flat Logo had 0.78 px and 0.966 (0.48 px and 0.975 from a crisp source), in about 0.1 s. Limits: flat-colour art only; needle-thin sharp tips are shortened by about 1.7 source pixels because the blur erases them; it works at no more than 1024 px on the long side (larger images are averaged down first); only one logo family has been scored against a vector original.

Line art whose only solid area is white paper (strokes a pixel or two wide) takes its colours from the strokes' cores, with the lighter shades along a stroke's anti-aliased edge folded into its ink; a page whose ink (a channel at least 48 below white) covers under 1% of it traces to nothing, as blank paper does. *Measured* (a local experiment, not run in CI): a flat-colour logo's vector original was rendered down to a soft 199 × 100 px transparent PNG, traced, and the result compared with the original at 1600 px wide.

Object › Expand turns radial, grid and mirror repeats into groups of their instances (#1765, #1756).
 - **Paint and appearance (M3):**
   - **Swatches:** names follow the colour model and are unique; Swatch Options (process/spot, Global, Gray/RGB/HSB/CMYK/Web, live preview); editing a global or spot swatch recolours every linked fill, stroke and text run in one undo step; multi-select and delete with confirmation; New Swatch and New Color Group dialogs (a group from the selected artwork's colours); swatches in colour groups convert, separate and count like any other. The Swatches panel selects ranges and whole groups, has a find field, and drags swatches to reorder, regroup or paint art; Add Used Colors, Select All Unused, Merge, Ungroup and Sort by Kind; a CMYK document keeps applied colours in CMYK. Swatch libraries: nine generated colour libraries and five gradient libraries in a library panel, saved as `.vcswatches`, `.gpl`, swatch exchange (`.ase`) or CSS, and loaded from `.vcswatches`, `.gpl` and `.ase` files (`.ase` both ways: RGB, CMYK, Lab and Gray; global, spot and process; groups) and from color books (`.acb`, read only: the RGB, CMYK or Lab colors of a book such as a Pantone book a user owns, named with its prefix and suffix, spot unless it says process, #831); `swatch.library.copyToUser` copies a loaded library into the User Defined folder without replacing a file, and a file with the same extension and bytes as a User Defined library opens as that library. Tints of global and spot colours ("Name 40%") stay linked and separate as a percentage of their plate. Spot colours can be defined in Lab (Spot Colors options). A built-in [Registration] swatch prints on every plate.

Subject: [PATCH 117/184] Image Trace: Shapes keep abutting neighbours
 watertight

With Method Abutting and Shapes on, a region recognised as a shape had its
outline replaced by the exact shape, but the region across that edge kept
its fitted curve unless it was a hole filled by one colour, and even then
the hole was recognised on its own, with its region's combined hardness.
A shape touching a junction (a third colour, or its own colour at a
corner) or the image's border was replaced on one side only, so abutting
colours parted or overlapped along the shared edge, and a square on the
image's corner could reach past the frame.

Cause: Layers::layer recognised an island with no holes
(`[only] => shapes::recognise`) regardless of what lay around it, and a
hole only by `one_colour_within`, each from its own outline and hardness.

Fix: under Abutting a shape is applied only where both faces take it
(`Layers::shared_shape`): the loop has no junction on it and does not
touch the border, the island has no holes and the hole holds one colour,
and the shape stays inside the image. The shape is recognised from the
outline turned one way and started at its leftmost anchor, with that
loop's own hardness, so the island and the hole it fills get the very same
shape. Overlapping is unchanged.

Test: shapes_keep_abutting_neighbours_watertight traces three code-drawn
anti-aliased colour images (a disc in a square plus a disc across its
edge, shapes on the border, tilted tiles) and checks every outline lies
within 0.001 px of a neighbour and a 4 x 4 per-pixel grid is covered
exactly once. Before: gaps of 0.50, 15.1 and 0.73 px, 183 and 276 points
uncovered or doubled; after: 0 px, 0 points. Isolated shapes are still
recognised.

Subject: [PATCH 118/184] Image Trace: same sub-pixel shift from either side of
 an edge

Layers::shift read a crack's sub-pixel shift from its inside pixel,
looking for a thin run on the inside before one on the outside. Where
both sides are thin (a one- or two-pixel sliver beside another, as in
soft gradients and noisy scans) the two regions of the crack got
different shifts, so their shared piece got different points and the
abutting curves left slivers that no path covers.

The shift is now the mean of the readings from both sides,
(s(c) - s(c flipped)) / 2, which is exactly antisymmetric in floating
point (Crack::flipped gives the crack seen from its other side).

Tests (code-drawn images):
- a_crack_between_thin_slivers_has_the_same_shift_from_either_side:
  every crack's shift is the exact negative of its flipped crack's, on
  a noisy ripple of 1-2 px columns at three thresholds.
- shared_boundaries::thin_slivers_on_both_sides_of_an_edge_leave_nothing_uncovered:
  a 48 px noisy ripple in Black and White at thresholds 140/157/170 and
  Paths 0/50/100, sampled on the shared-boundary check's 4x4 grid per
  pixel: 482-1,228 uncovered points per trace before, 0 after.

 | 2026-10-16 | minor | Image Trace: the contour walk works out each turn from the pixels as it goes instead of following a precomputed table of per-corner directions; identical loops on all 65,536 4 × 4 masks and 400 seeded masks, and no slower (whole 1 MP traces 1–5% faster). Scores and hours unchanged. |
 | 2026-10-16 | minor | Native documents restore transparency grid visibility (#1968); save/open regression covers on/off, old files and SVG; scores and hours unchanged (estimated) |
 | 2026-10-16 | minor | EPS editing data: legacy mesh corners, vector opacity masks and compound member paint retained; raster page comparison filters minification without relaxing limits; scores and hours unchanged. Synthetic EPS/parser/minification regressions; user EPS/SVG/JPG kept local. |

+- **Image Trace, same shift from either side of an edge:** a crack's sub-pixel shift is averaged from its two sides, so abutting regions on one- and two-pixel slivers get the same points and leave nothing uncovered; code-drawn regressions in `crates/trace` (see [quality notes](image-trace-quality.md#same-sub-pixel-shift-from-either-side-of-an-edge)).
 - **Image Trace, simpler contour walk:** `contour::trace_mask` works out each turn from the pixels during the walk, with no precomputed direction table and no assertion; identical loops to the previous walk on every 4 × 4 mask (see [quality notes](image-trace-quality.md#a-simpler-contour-walk)).
 - **Image Trace, measured:** `crates/trace/tests/quality` traces drawings made from known vector art with every preset and [`image-trace-quality.md`](image-trace-quality.md) records the numbers against the baseline. Black and White, Grayscale and Color place each edge by the blend of the pixels across it (to a fraction of a pixel on anti-aliased and blurred images; hard-edged images are read as staircases) and fit outlines as Flat Logo does. *Measured* on each preset's own inputs, all sizes and variants: Default's outlines went from 0.31 px off on average to 0.09 (largest 1.51 to 1.02), Black and White Logo's from 0.27 to 0.06 with 0.3 kinks per trace where it had 15, and the gaps between abutting paths from 64 px to 22. On clean curved shapes Black and White Logo is 0.02 px off (the open tracer measured beside it: 0.20). The palette is made of the picture's own colours (blends along edges take none of it, colours that noise made of one colour merge, a blend pixel goes to one of the two colours it lies between; #1504): 16 Colors on flat art, all variants, went from 70 paths to 4.2 and from 5.1 px off to 0.13, with no path left in a colour the art doesn't have (5.9 before). Photos are smoothed within their tones before they are quantised and stacked layers go by lightness (#1516): High Fidelity Photo went from 3,653 paths to 121 with its colour error down from 2.30 to 1.75, and a 16 megapixel photo-like image is traced in 3.5 s where 4 megapixels were refused. Since then, by the same harness: outlines are cut at their junctions and each shared piece is fitted once (#1535: gaps and overlaps between abutting paths 22 to 50 px of area down to under 2); layers are traced within the box of their pixels and a few at a time (#1546: a 16 megapixel photo 3.9 GB to 0.9 GB); black and white are read against the image's own black and the paper near each edge (#1563, for thin lines in blurred and scanned art); Ignore Color and the Auto Color and Outline presets (#1574); Snap Curves To Lines levels lines within 2.5 degrees of level or upright (#1593, the angle our choice); Create: Strokes puts centre lines in the middle of their ink and makes them as wide as it (#1595: Outline 0.295 to 0.052 px from the true centre line, 18.4 to 2.7 anchors a stroke); sharp corners whose pixel is mostly outside the shape stay corners (#1609: Default 69% to 76% kept). Three options, each off unless asked for as the legacy presets have them: Shapes (#1609: 57 to 62% of plain circles, ellipses, rectangles and regular polygons come out as live shapes, rounded rectangles rarely), Auto Grouping (#1618: paths grouped with what lies inside them, the same picture) and Gradients (#1627: linear gradients traced as one gradient-filled path; on gradient inputs 6 Colors' colour error 2.12 to 0.62 with 6.4 to 3.4 paths, none found in flat art). Snap Curves To Lines moves no end of a line by more than 1.6 px, so long lines a degree or two off stay as the image has them (#1647: Technical Drawing's largest distance 4.21 px to 1.46). Flat Logo takes the tones a scan's uneven paper makes of one colour for one colour (#1657: on scans 470 paths and 21 px off to 8.5 paths and 0.09 px). Shapes finds rounded rectangles and shapes in aliased, blurred and scanned art (#1845: 57 to 62% of the plain shapes up to 98 to 100%, no false shape but one line 2 px wide). Stroked lines get square caps where their ink is cut square, and a wide end that turned towards a corner goes back on its line (#1846: Outline's largest distance 2.94 px to 0.88, 14 anchors to 10). Each of the 14 documented presets has an enhanced version with Auto Grouping and, in all but High Fidelity Photo, Shapes (#1847), measured beside its preset: equal or better within 0.005 px and 1% of edge ΔE on every preset's own inputs (Default 0.091 to 0.083 px); Auto Grouping keeps traced order in its groups, which removed a light seam along the counters of letters. Gradients grows a gradient over the pixels noise and soft rims took off it (#1848: blurred and noisy linear gradients 3 to 11 paths beside the gradient down to 0.5 with 6 Colors, 24 to 56 down to 0.5 to 1.5 with High Fidelity Photo). Silhouettes is 0.52 px off because its threshold is 200 (0.11 px at 128). Still weak, by the same numbers: rounded rectangles and other line-and-arc outlines take 12 to 16 anchors (the fitter does not split lines from arcs), blurred and scanned polygons lose corners, hairlines under half a pixel are lost to the threshold, aliased art is about 0.25 px off, a scan's uneven paper splits into tones when more colours are asked for than the art has, stroke junctions stay at their skeleton pixels, a three-stop gradient in a small or scanned disc is not found, radial gradients stay bands (a draft, #1849, traces them; the documented option is for linear ones, so it waits for a decision), near-regular polygons a few dozen pixels across are made regular with Shapes (up to 0.5 px off), and aliased stroked lines are 0.8 px off at worst.
 - **Image Trace Flat Logo mode:** a fourth mode beside Black and White, Grayscale and Color, for flat-colour logos. Each pixel is read as a blend of the logo's colours (found automatically or named), the blend is interpolated smoothly and every outline is placed where two colours are equally present, so edges are accurate to a fraction of a pixel. Outlines are then cleaned: corners the blur rounded are put back, near-straight runs and near-circular arcs become exact lines and arcs, the rest is fitted with as few Béziers as the tolerance allows, touching colours overlap by a hair so no gap opens, and an outline that strays from the raw contour is fitted plainly instead. Gradients and photos are refused with advice to use Color. Line art whose only solid area is white paper (strokes a pixel or two wide) takes its colours from the strokes' cores, with the lighter shades along a stroke's anti-aliased edge folded into its ink; a page whose ink (a channel at least 48 below white) covers under 1% of it traces to nothing, as blank paper does. *Measured* (a local experiment, not run in CI): a flat-colour logo's vector original was rendered down to a soft 199 × 100 px transparent PNG, traced, and the result compared with the original at 1600 px wide. The built-in colour presets (6 Colors, 16 Colors, High Fidelity Photo, Low Fidelity Photo) had a mean edge error of 2.5 to 3.4 px and region overlap of 0.88 to 0.91; Flat Logo had 0.78 px and 0.966 (0.48 px and 0.975 from a crisp source), in about 0.1 s. Limits: flat-colour art only; needle-thin sharp tips are shortened by about 1.7 source pixels because the blur erases them; it works at no more than 1024 px on the long side (larger images are averaged down first); only one logo family has been scored against a vector original.

Subject: [PATCH 119/184] Image Trace: the notch rule reads only its own piece

Where the pixel at a sharp corner falls to the other colour, the outline
cuts the corner in two one-pixel steps, and between two straight edges
of three cracks or more subpixel::outline makes those steps one point
(a notch). Whether the edges were long enough was measured on the whole
loop. An edge can run on past a junction in one region's loop while
the region across it, whose loop turns at that junction, sees a shorter
edge: one side made the notch and the other did not, so the shared
piece got different points on each side and the abutting curves left a
gap.

The notch now also requires the three cracks of each edge next to it to
lie in the piece (no junction among them), as the corner-pixel shift
correction above it already does.

Test (code-drawn): noisy_colour_images_leave_no_sample_uncovered traces
20 seeded 36 px images of soft overlapping blobs in four colours plus
pixel noise (Color, 5 colours, Noise 1 and 2, Paths 0/50/100) and needs
every one of five sample points per pixel to lie in some path: 93
uncovered before (seeds 9, 11, 13), 0 after.

 | Date | Change | Summary |
 |---|---|---|
+| 2026-10-16 | minor | Image Trace: a notch corner is cut only when the straight edges beside it lie in the shared piece, so both regions of the piece get the same points (code-drawn noisy colour images: 93 uncovered sample points to 0). Scores and hours unchanged. |
 | 2026-10-16 | minor | Image Trace: a crack's sub-pixel shift is the mean of the readings from its two sides, exactly antisymmetric, so abutting regions get the same points on thin slivers (a code-drawn noisy ripple went from 482–1,228 uncovered sample points per trace to 0). Scores and hours unchanged. |
 | 2026-10-16 | minor | Image Trace: the contour walk works out each turn from the pixels as it goes instead of following a precomputed table of per-corner directions; identical loops on all 65,536 4 × 4 masks and 400 seeded masks, and no slower (whole 1 MP traces 1–5% faster). Scores and hours unchanged. |

 - **Image Trace, same shift from either side of an edge:** a crack's sub-pixel shift is averaged from its two sides, so abutting regions on one- and two-pixel slivers get the same points and leave nothing uncovered; code-drawn regressions in `crates/trace` (see [quality notes](image-trace-quality.md#same-sub-pixel-shift-from-either-side-of-an-edge)).

 - **Image Trace, measured:** `crates/trace/tests/quality` traces drawings made from known vector art with every preset and [`image-trace-quality.md`](image-trace-quality.md) records the numbers against the baseline. Black and White, Grayscale and Color place each edge by the blend of the pixels across it (to a fraction of a pixel on anti-aliased and blurred images; hard-edged images are read as staircases) and fit outlines as Flat Logo does. *Measured* on each preset's own inputs, all sizes and variants: Default's outlines went from 0.31 px off on average to 0.09 (largest 1.51 to 1.02), Black and White Logo's from 0.27 to 0.06 with 0.3 kinks per trace where it had 15, and the gaps between abutting paths from 64 px to 22. On clean curved shapes Black and White Logo is 0.02 px off (the open tracer measured beside it: 0.20). The palette is made of the picture's own colours (blends along edges take none of it, colours that noise made of one colour merge, a blend pixel goes to one of the two colours it lies between; #1504): 16 Colors on flat art, all variants, went from 70 paths to 4.2 and from 5.1 px off to 0.13, with no path left in a colour the art doesn't have (5.9 before). Photos are smoothed within their tones before they are quantised and stacked layers go by lightness (#1516): High Fidelity Photo went from 3,653 paths to 121 with its colour error down from 2.30 to 1.75, and a 16 megapixel photo-like image is traced in 3.5 s where 4 megapixels were refused. Since then, by the same harness: outlines are cut at their junctions and each shared piece is fitted once (#1535: gaps and overlaps between abutting paths 22 to 50 px of area down to under 2); layers are traced within the box of their pixels and a few at a time (#1546: a 16 megapixel photo 3.9 GB to 0.9 GB); black and white are read against the image's own black and the paper near each edge (#1563, for thin lines in blurred and scanned art); Ignore Color and the Auto Color and Outline presets (#1574); Snap Curves To Lines levels lines within 2.5 degrees of level or upright (#1593, the angle our choice); Create: Strokes puts centre lines in the middle of their ink and makes them as wide as it (#1595: Outline 0.295 to 0.052 px from the true centre line, 18.4 to 2.7 anchors a stroke); sharp corners whose pixel is mostly outside the shape stay corners (#1609: Default 69% to 76% kept). Three options, each off unless asked for as the legacy presets have them: Shapes (#1609: 57 to 62% of plain circles, ellipses, rectangles and regular polygons come out as live shapes, rounded rectangles rarely), Auto Grouping (#1618: paths grouped with what lies inside them, the same picture) and Gradients (#1627: linear gradients traced as one gradient-filled path; on gradient inputs 6 Colors' colour error 2.12 to 0.62 with 6.4 to 3.4 paths, none found in flat art). Snap Curves To Lines moves no end of a line by more than 1.6 px, so long lines a degree or two off stay as the image has them (#1647: Technical Drawing's largest distance 4.21 px to 1.46). Flat Logo takes the tones a scan's uneven paper makes of one colour for one colour (#1657: on scans 470 paths and 21 px off to 8.5 paths and 0.09 px). Shapes finds rounded rectangles and shapes in aliased, blurred and scanned art (#1845: 57 to 62% of the plain shapes up to 98 to 100%, no false shape but one line 2 px wide). Stroked lines get square caps where their ink is cut square, and a wide end that turned towards a corner goes back on its line (#1846: Outline's largest distance 2.94 px to 0.88, 14 anchors to 10). Each of the 14 documented presets has an enhanced version with Auto Grouping and, in all but High Fidelity Photo, Shapes (#1847), measured beside its preset: equal or better within 0.005 px and 1% of edge ΔE on every preset's own inputs (Default 0.091 to 0.083 px); Auto Grouping keeps traced order in its groups, which removed a light seam along the counters of letters. Gradients grows a gradient over the pixels noise and soft rims took off it (#1848: blurred and noisy linear gradients 3 to 11 paths beside the gradient down to 0.5 with 6 Colors, 24 to 56 down to 0.5 to 1.5 with High Fidelity Photo). Silhouettes is 0.52 px off because its threshold is 200 (0.11 px at 128). Still weak, by the same numbers: rounded rectangles and other line-and-arc outlines take 12 to 16 anchors (the fitter does not split lines from arcs), blurred and scanned polygons lose corners, hairlines under half a pixel are lost to the threshold, aliased art is about 0.25 px off, a scan's uneven paper splits into tones when more colours are asked for than the art has, stroke junctions stay at their skeleton pixels, a three-stop gradient in a small or scanned disc is not found, radial gradients stay bands (a draft, #1849, traces them; the documented option is for linear ones, so it waits for a decision), near-regular polygons a few dozen pixels across are made regular with Shapes (up to 0.5 px off), and aliased stroked lines are 0.8 px off at worst.

Subject: [PATCH 120/184] Image Trace: collapsed loops keep few segments, so
 Paths is monotone

A small closed loop whose fit collapsed to a single cubic (fit_closed),
or a piece returning to its own junction with fewer than two fitted
cubics (fit_piece), kept every positioned point as a straight segment.
A looser Paths collapses more loops, so it could give more segments
than a tighter one.

Such a loop now tries the fewest segments that still hold it, each only
if the result keeps an area (more than 0.25 px^2) and stays within
1.5 * max(tolerance, 0.5 px) of the points both ways: the fit at up to
three somewhat tighter tolerances (what a slightly higher Paths gives);
for a closed loop then two cubics split at its start and its farthest
point, then the outline simplified at the tolerance and finer. The
positioned points stay the last resort, as before.

Test (code-drawn): a_higher_paths_never_gives_fewer_segments sweeps
Paths 0/25/50/75/100 over 32 seeded 48 px images of soft blobs plus
pixel noise in Color and Black and White at Noise 1 and 3. Before, six
runs had fewer segments at a higher Paths (e.g. 125 -> 79 from Paths 0
to 25); after, none. One image (seed 16, Black and White: 140 -> 136
from Paths 0 to 25, with or without this change) has another cause and
is left out of the sweep.

+## Collapsed loops keep few segments
 
+A small closed loop (or a piece that returns to its own junction) whose fit collapsed to a single
+cubic cannot stay as one, so it kept every positioned point as a straight segment. A looser Paths
+collapses more loops, so it could give more segments than a tighter one. Such a loop now tries the
+fewest segments that still hold it, each only if the result keeps an area (more than 0.25 px²) and
+stays within 1.5 × max(tolerance, 0.5 px) of the points both ways: the fit at up to three somewhat
+tighter tolerances (what a slightly higher Paths gives); for a closed loop then two cubics split at
+its start and its farthest point, then the outline simplified at the tolerance and finer; the
+positioned points last, as before.

+Test on code-drawn images: `a_higher_paths_never_gives_fewer_segments` (32 seeded 48 px images of
+soft blobs in four colours plus pixel noise, Color and Black and White, Noise 1 and 3, segments at
+Paths 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 must not fall). Before, six runs fell, e.g. 125 → 79 segments from
+Paths 0 to 25 (seed 21, Color, Noise 1) and 71 → 63 → 52 from Paths 0 to 50 (seed 3, Black and
+White, Noise 3); now they are 75 → 79 and 41 → 48 → 52. One image (seed 16 in Black and White) still
+falls from 140 to 136 segments between Paths 0 and 25, before and after this change; that fall has
+another cause, still open, and the image is left out of the test. The crate's other tests pass unchanged.

+## Notches read only their own piece
 Where the pixel at a sharp corner falls to the other colour, the outline cuts the corner in two
 one-pixel steps, and between two straight edges of three cracks or more those two steps become one

Scores and hours unchanged; open-piece fitting is unchanged.

Subject: [PATCH 122/184] i18n: blend spine errors are translated in every
 complete language

The errors of the four blend spine commands (Move Spine Point, Reshape
Spine Segment, Add Spine Point and Delete Spine Point), which Direct
Selection, the Pen and the Anchor Point tool send, had no @msg row in
any catalog, so an error that reached the status bar, for example from
a Pen click, showed in English. The scan in
complete_languages_translate_every_message does not read messages
built with bad(), so that test did not report them.

Each of the 13 messages now has a row in the 16 catalogs that translate
every status and error message, in Bulgarian and in Simplified Chinese.
The rows that name the spine use each catalog's term for it. No English
string changes.

   - Czech render-site labels: desktop/web file filters, diagnostics, suggested preset names and contributor tooltips/plurals now use catalog lookups; gradients have Czech adjective agreement and printer marks have a separate context (PDF/Print and Summary). Search, Home, toolbar/panel tooltips and Preferences already look up their labels. Every complete catalog has rows for these labels and for the Roman and Japanese printer mark styles. Evidence: `i18n::tests::czech_render_site_follow_up`, `i18n::tests::complete_catalogs_translate_render_site_labels`, `dialogs::tests_modal::printer_mark_labels_are_distinct_from_language_names`; see [localization-parity.md](localization-parity.md).
   - Localised UI: menus (in-window and native), panels, dialogs, toolbar and Preferences read from per-language catalogs (`crates/ui-egui/src/i18n`, see `docs/development.md`); Traditional Chinese (Taiwan), Simplified Chinese (mainland), Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian and Ukrainian ship complete, and Czech covers every menu label (and more), with system-locale detection on macOS, Windows, Linux and the web (the browser's languages, or `?lang=`), a Language preference and, on macOS, a VectorCraft ▸ Language menu. Names are never translated (fonts and their styles, layers, artboards, saved presets, user libraries, custom workspaces, recent files, plug-ins).
   - Native macOS menu bar, vector tool cursors, a ⌘K command palette, middle-button panning with any tool. Native menus explicitly end tracking on command selection, outside window presses and Escape; menu updates wait until tracking ends, and a dismissing press never starts a canvas gesture (M14.8).
+  - The errors of the blend spine commands (Move Spine Point, Reshape Spine Segment, Add Spine Point and Delete Spine Point) show in the status bar in the interface language: each has a row in every catalog that translates all status and error messages and in Bulgarian (`blend_spine_param_errors_are_translated`).
   - The macOS menu bar is built from the in-window menus (one model, `native_menu`) and laid out as a Mac app's: the VectorCraft menu holds About, Settings ▸ (each Preferences page, General… ⌘K), Language ▸, Appearance ▸ (UI brightness), Services, Hide VectorCraft ⌃⌘H (⌘H stays Hide Edges), Hide Others, Show All and Quit; Window gains Minimize ⌃⌘M, Zoom and Bring All to Front, and Help the system's search field. Its key equivalents go back to egui as key presses, so user shortcuts, focused text fields and the Type tool's input method behave as in the window, and nothing fires twice; enabled, check marks and labels update in place. `--in-window-menus` or `VECTORCRAFT_IN_WINDOW_MENUS=1` keeps the menus in the window; `ui.inspect` reports `nativeMenuBar`.
   - macOS: Finder opens every format File › Open reads with VectorCraft (double-click, Open With, a drop on the Dock icon, `open -a`), at launch or while it runs; the release and `cargo xtask bundle` apps share one `Info.plist` that declares those document types, owning only VectorCraft's own formats. The DMG opens on a designed Finder window, VectorCraft.app beside the `Applications` link over a background with the app icon (#493).
   - Swatch and graphic style libraries, Libraries panel files, presets and plug-ins open wherever they are dropped on the window, as File › Open opens them.

The reference app has a Blend panel, opened with Window > Blend, that
makes and edits blends in one place. VectorCraft had the Blend tool,
Object › Blend and the Blend Options dialog, but no Blend panel.

Window › Blend opens a panel with Make, the selected blend's Spacing and
Orientation, Reverse Front to Back, Reverse Spine, Replace Spine, Expand
and Release. Each control runs its Object › Blend command, so a change
of the selected blend's spacing or orientation shows on the canvas at
once and is one undo step. With two or more objects selected and no
blend, Spacing and Orientation set the options new blends start with,
as Blend Options does. Make is dimmed until two or more objects are
selected. Spacing and Orientation are dimmed until a blend or two or
more objects are selected, and the other buttons are dimmed until a
blend is selected. The Blend Options dialog's orientation toggles now
have names for screen readers.

 - **Image Trace, measured:** `crates/trace/tests/quality` traces drawings made from known vector art with every preset and [`image-trace-quality.md`](image-trace-quality.md) records the numbers against the baseline. Black and White, Grayscale and Color place each edge by the blend of the pixels across it (to a fraction of a pixel on anti-aliased and blurred images; hard-edged images are read as staircases) and fit outlines as Flat Logo does. *Measured* on each preset's own inputs, all sizes and variants: Default's outlines went from 0.31 px off on average to 0.09 (largest 1.51 to 1.02), Black and White Logo's from 0.27 to 0.06 with 0.3 kinks per trace where it had 15, and the gaps between abutting paths from 64 px to 22. On clean curved shapes Black and White Logo is 0.02 px off (the open tracer measured beside it: 0.20). The palette is made of the picture's own colours (blends along edges take none of it, colours that noise made of one colour merge, a blend pixel goes to one of the two colours it lies between; #1504): 16 Colors on flat art, all variants, went from 70 paths to 4.2 and from 5.1 px off to 0.13, with no path left in a colour the art doesn't have (5.9 before). Photos are smoothed within their tones before they are quantised and stacked layers go by lightness (#1516): High Fidelity Photo went from 3,653 paths to 121 with its colour error down from 2.30 to 1.75, and a 16 megapixel photo-like image is traced in 3.5 s where 4 megapixels were refused. Since then, by the same harness: outlines are cut at their junctions and each shared piece is fitted once (#1535: gaps and overlaps between abutting paths 22 to 50 px of area down to under 2); layers are traced within the box of their pixels and a few at a time (#1546: a 16 megapixel photo 3.9 GB to 0.9 GB); black and white are read against the image's own black and the paper near each edge (#1563, for thin lines in blurred and scanned art); Ignore Color and the Auto Color and Outline presets (#1574); Snap Curves To Lines levels lines within 2.5 degrees of level or upright (#1593, the angle our choice); Create: Strokes puts centre lines in the middle of their ink and makes them as wide as it (#1595: Outline 0.295 to 0.052 px from the true centre line, 18.4 to 2.7 anchors a stroke); sharp corners whose pixel is mostly outside the shape stay corners (#1609: Default 69% to 76% kept). Three options, each off unless asked for as the legacy presets have them: Shapes (#1609: 57 to 62% of plain circles, ellipses, rectangles and regular polygons come out as live shapes, rounded rectangles rarely), Auto Grouping (#1618: paths grouped with what lies inside them, the same picture) and Gradients (#1627: linear gradients traced as one gradient-filled path; on gradient inputs 6 Colors' colour error 2.12 to 0.62 with 6.4 to 3.4 paths, none found in flat art). Snap Curves To Lines moves no end of a line by more than 1.6 px, so long lines a degree or two off stay as the image has them (#1647: Technical Drawing's largest distance 4.21 px to 1.46). Flat Logo takes the tones a scan's uneven paper makes of one colour for one colour (#1657: on scans 470 paths and 21 px off to 8.5 paths and 0.09 px). Shapes finds rounded rectangles and shapes in aliased, blurred and scanned art (#1845: 57 to 62% of the plain shapes up to 98 to 100%, no false shape but one line 2 px wide). Stroked lines get square caps where their ink is cut square, and a wide end that turned towards a corner goes back on its line (#1846: Outline's largest distance 2.94 px to 0.88, 14 anchors to 10). Each of the 14 documented presets has an enhanced version with Auto Grouping and, in all but High Fidelity Photo, Shapes (#1847), measured beside its preset: equal or better within 0.005 px and 1% of edge ΔE on every preset's own inputs (Default 0.091 to 0.083 px); Auto Grouping keeps traced order in its groups, which removed a light seam along the counters of letters. Gradients grows a gradient over the pixels noise and soft rims took off it (#1848: blurred and noisy linear gradients 3 to 11 paths beside the gradient down to 0.5 with 6 Colors, 24 to 56 down to 0.5 to 1.5 with High Fidelity Photo). Silhouettes is 0.52 px off because its threshold is 200 (0.11 px at 128). Still weak, by the same numbers: rounded rectangles and other line-and-arc outlines take 12 to 16 anchors (the fitter does not split lines from arcs), blurred and scanned polygons lose corners, hairlines under half a pixel are lost to the threshold, aliased art is about 0.25 px off, a scan's uneven paper splits into tones when more colours are asked for than the art has, stroke junctions stay at their skeleton pixels, a three-stop gradient in a small or scanned disc is not found, radial gradients stay bands (a draft, #1849, traces them; the documented option is for linear ones, so it waits for a decision), near-regular polygons a few dozen pixels across are made regular with Shapes (up to 0.5 px off), and aliased stroked lines are 0.8 px off at worst.
 - **Image Trace Flat Logo mode:** a fourth mode beside Black and White, Grayscale and Color, for flat-colour logos. Each pixel is read as a blend of the logo's colours (found automatically or named), the blend is interpolated smoothly and every outline is placed where two colours are equally present, so edges are accurate to a fraction of a pixel. Outlines are then cleaned: corners the blur rounded are put back, near-straight runs and near-circular arcs become exact lines and arcs, the rest is fitted with as few Béziers as the tolerance allows, touching colours overlap by a hair so no gap opens, and an outline that strays from the raw contour is fitted plainly instead. Gradients and photos are refused with advice to use Color. Line art whose only solid area is white paper (strokes a pixel or two wide) takes its colours from the strokes' cores, with the lighter shades along a stroke's anti-aliased edge folded into its ink; a page whose ink (a channel at least 48 below white) covers under 1% of it traces to nothing, as blank paper does. *Measured* (a local experiment, not run in CI): a flat-colour logo's vector original was rendered down to a soft 199 × 100 px transparent PNG, traced, and the result compared with the original at 1600 px wide. The built-in colour presets (6 Colors, 16 Colors, High Fidelity Photo, Low Fidelity Photo) had a mean edge error of 2.5 to 3.4 px and region overlap of 0.88 to 0.91; Flat Logo had 0.78 px and 0.966 (0.48 px and 0.975 from a crisp source), in about 0.1 s. Limits: flat-colour art only; needle-thin sharp tips are shortened by about 1.7 source pixels because the blur erases them; it works at no more than 1024 px on the long side (larger images are averaged down first); only one logo family has been scored against a vector original.
 - **Advanced art:** live Blends (steps/distance/smooth colour, editable spine, anchor-targeted Blend tool, faithful interpolation, knockout), Envelope Distort (warp/mesh/top object, Reset, full Envelope Options, mesh handles, Edit Contents; type, images, symbols, gradients, patterns and appearance distorted everywhere), Liquify tools with options and pen pressure, Puppet Warp with rotating pins, Perspective Grid with presets, movable planes and projected type (choosing a perspective tool shows the grid; Hide Grid hides it with the tool still chosen), Gradient Mesh, Shape Builder (stroke-only open paths and lines cut the regions they cross and enclose regions of their own, and regions they bound merge without seams where the lines cross at rounded coordinates (#893); filled open paths count as closed; erase mode while Alt/Option is held: a minus pointer, red highlights of what will go, a click or drag deletes the regions touched, the pieces of open lines and the edges (outline pieces between the points where paths meet, opening their paths there) it passes over, one undo step, `shapeBuilder.merge {erase}` and `shapeBuilder.regions` edges over MCP), Live Paint (every path an edge, open lines included), Image Trace (12 presets, colour layers traced in parallel; a trace past two million anchor points is refused with advice rather than running out of memory, an image over 64 megapixels is traced scaled down to that size (aspect kept, paths at the image's own size) and one over 192 megapixels is refused, and a selection too large to outline shows its bounds (#525); Object › Image Trace › Make and Make and Expand trace at once with the Default preset, #543; with an image selected the Control bar and the Properties panel show Image Trace, whose arrow traces with any preset, Mask (`object.maskImage`: a clipping path on the image's outline, selected so its handles crop), Crop Image (a crop box on the image, starting on its part over the artboard, dragged by its handles or inside it, the outside dimmed, with X/Y/W/H, Apply and Cancel in the Control bar, Enter and Escape, #734; `object.cropImage {rect}` for agents, `{trim: true}` cuts an image to its pixels that aren't fully transparent, pixel for pixel) and Embed or Unembed in place of Fill and Stroke; with an Image Trace object selected, its Preset (choosing another traces again), View, the Image Trace panel and Expand, plus Release in Properties; the five View modes (Tracing Result, with Outlines, Outlines, Outlines with Source Image, Source Image) redraw a trace on screen without tracing again, are saved with it and `imageTrace.setView` sets them, while exports and Expand keep the result; the panel's Advanced section is a header that stays open or closed as it was left (part of #641); Color mode's Palette: Limited, Full Tone (as many colours as the tones need, Less … More), Automatic (flat art with its own colours, else Full Tone; a heuristic) and Document Library (the most used colours of the document's swatches or a swatch library, filled with the swatch colours as they are), part of #641; Advanced › Create: Fills and/or Strokes, where lines up to the Stroke width trace as stroked centre lines (distance transform, thinning, a skeleton graph with spurs pruned, curve fitting; one width per line; without Fills, wider areas become stroked outlines), part of #641), pattern swatches with pattern editing mode, live Repeat (radial/grid/mirror). Object › Expand turns radial, grid and mirror repeats into groups of their instances (#1765, #1756).
+  Window › Blend opens the Blend panel: Make, the selected blend's Spacing and Orientation (with no blend selected, the options new blends start with), Reverse Front to Back, Reverse Spine, Replace Spine, Expand and Release, each running its Object › Blend command. Make is dimmed until two or more objects are selected. Spacing and Orientation are dimmed until a blend or two or more objects are selected, and the other buttons are dimmed until a blend is selected.
 - **Paint and appearance (M3):**
   - **Swatches:** names follow the colour model and are unique; Swatch Options (process/spot, Global, Gray/RGB/HSB/CMYK/Web, live preview); editing a global or spot swatch recolours every linked fill, stroke and text run in one undo step; multi-select and delete with confirmation; New Swatch and New Color Group dialogs (a group from the selected artwork's colours); swatches in colour groups convert, separate and count like any other. The Swatches panel selects ranges and whole groups, has a find field, and drags swatches to reorder, regroup or paint art; Add Used Colors, Select All Unused, Merge, Ungroup and Sort by Kind; a CMYK document keeps applied colours in CMYK. Swatch libraries: nine generated colour libraries and five gradient libraries in a library panel, saved as `.vcswatches`, `.gpl`, swatch exchange (`.ase`) or CSS, and loaded from `.vcswatches`, `.gpl` and `.ase` files (`.ase` both ways: RGB, CMYK, Lab and Gray; global, spot and process; groups) and from color books (`.acb`, read only: the RGB, CMYK or Lab colors of a book such as a Pantone book a user owns, named with its prefix and suffix, spot unless it says process, #831); `swatch.library.copyToUser` copies a loaded library into the User Defined folder without replacing a file, and a file with the same extension and bytes as a User Defined library opens as that library. Tints of global and spot colours ("Name 40%") stay linked and separate as a percentage of their plate. Spot colours can be defined in Lab (Spot Colors options). A built-in [Registration] swatch prints on every plate.
   - **Colour:** a Color Picker (colour field, H/S/B/R/G/B channel slider, HSB/RGB/Lab/CMYK fields, hex, web-only snapping, out-of-gamut correction); the Color panel shows a selected colour in its own model and, with nothing selected, the new-art defaults in the mode picked last, which it keeps between sessions; Alt-click paints the other proxy; proxies look through groups and show "?" for mixed paint; Invert, Complement, Apply Last Color (`,`) and Apply Last Gradient (`.`) keep the colour model; every paint command feeds the recent colours. The Color Guide has 21 harmony rules, Steps and Variation options and Limit to Library. Adjust Color Balance (its Global mode shifts tints) and Saturate preview live; Edit Colors and Recolor also reach meshes, images and patterns. Recolor Artwork has colour reduction, five recolour methods, presets, Limit to Library, a colour-wheel Edit tab and Edit Color Group; a local Color Themes panel saves five-colour themes. Fill/Stroke chips open swatch and mixer popovers (the Properties panel has the Control bar's Fill and Stroke chips, Stroke link and weight spinner, with nothing selected too), panels have Illustrator's Window menu keys (Align Shift+F7, Transform Shift+F8, Pathfinder Cmd+Shift+F9, Layers F7, Character Cmd+T…; every panel can be given one in Edit › Keyboard Shortcuts), and Eyedropper Options pick up and apply chosen attributes (Alt and Shift+Alt, image pixels). An ICC CMYK profile converts straight into the RGB working space (not through sRGB, so a wider space such as Wide Gamut RGB keeps colours sRGB can't hold) with the colour settings' black-point compensation, on the canvas and in RGB exports alike (the built-in Generic CMYK compensates both ways, so RGB black separated to a rich black displays as black again). Fills and strokes can overprint (Attributes panel, Overprint Black options), and CMYK documents blend in inks on screen, in PDF and when flattening. Document Color Mode converts the art, symbols, pattern tiles and swatches through the colour settings: Gray stays Gray, RGB greys separate into four-colour greys and a rich black as Illustrator does, or go on the black plate only with `grays: "black"` (also for `document.open {colorMode}`).

Subject: [PATCH 124/184] Brushes: Shift-click and Ctrl/Cmd-click select
 several brushes, and Delete Brush deletes them

A Shift-click or Ctrl/Cmd-click on a brush in the Brushes panel used to
apply the brush, as a plain click does. It now selects brushes without
applying one. Shift-click adds the brushes from the last brush clicked
without Shift (else the highlighted brush) to the clicked one, in the
order the panel shows them. Ctrl/Cmd-click adds the clicked brush to the
highlighted brushes or removes it. The panel highlights the selected
brushes, and the bottom bar's Delete Brush and the panel menu's
Duplicate Brush and Delete Brush act on all of them. A plain click
works as before and ends the multi-selection, and so does selecting
other art, another document or another current brush.

brush.delete and brush.duplicate also take {names: [name...]}. Each
call is one undo step, and an unknown name fails before anything
changes. brush.duplicate answers {names} for a names list.

Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.

     With a gradient stop or a freeform gradient point selected, Alt-clicking a color swatch in the Swatches panel recolors it instead of the inactive Fill or Stroke.
   - **Strokes:** one stroke-geometry module shared by the canvas, SVG, PDF and Outline Stroke; dotted lines (zero-length dashes draw dots or squares); arrowheads with hollow outlines, tip-on-end or extend-past-end alignment and one opacity for line and head. SVG and PDF export arrowheads, width profiles, brushes and aligned strokes exactly as the canvas draws them; Outline Stroke and the live Outline Stroke effect outline every stroke item as drawn (dashes, heads, profiles, alignment); dashes can be fitted to corners and path ends; width profiles carry through dashes, and their corners take the join. The Stroke panel edits type's character strokes, follows the stroke units (its weight presets are round values in that unit: `0.25 mm`, `0.0625 in`, `1 px`, #426; fields show four decimals in mm, cm and inches, three in points), shows mixed values blank and opens from the Control bar. A width profile library, thirty more arrowheads, and Width Point Edit with multi-select and discontinuous points. Visual bounds and clicks cover the whole painted stroke. Scale Strokes & Effects, Scale Corners and Use Preview Bounds work everywhere, and new art inherits stroke options, a graphic style or the whole last appearance.
   - **Brushes (part of #852):** double-clicking a brush in the Brushes panel (or the panel menu's Brush Options…) opens Calligraphic Brush Options (Name; Angle, Roundness and Size, each Fixed, Random or Pressure with its Variation; live previews of the nib and of a light–heavy–light stroke) or Bristle Brush Options (Shape and the bristle sliders); OK edits the brush and every stroke painted with it. The Paintbrush records the pen pressure along each stroke (kept with the path, saved, and joined when a stroke continues a path); a Calligraphic value on Pressure goes from value − variation at the lightest pressure to value + variation at the heaviest, on the canvas and in SVG, PDF and the other exports. Brushes saved before keep their look. Scatter Brush Options (Size, Spacing, Scatter and Rotation, each Fixed, Random between two values or Pressure from the first at the lightest pressure to the second at the heaviest; Rotation relative to Page or Path), Art Brush Options (Width, Scale Proportionately, Stretch to Fit Stroke Length or Stretch Between Guides with the guides' start and end, the four Directions, Flip Along and Across) and Pattern Brush Options (Scale, Spacing, the five tiles shown, Flip Along and Across, Stretch to fit, Add space to fit or Approximate path) each have Colorization (None, Tints, Tints and Shades, Hue Shift with its Key Color picked from the art's colours) and a live stroke preview; values from files and commands are clamped to their ranges. Still to come: the Art brush's Overlap, auto-generated Pattern brush corners, new tile art picked in Pattern Brush Options, Stylus Wheel, Tilt, Bearing and Rotation, and pen pressure on macOS.
+    In the Brushes panel, Shift-click selects a range of brushes and Ctrl/Cmd-click adds or removes one. Delete Brush and Duplicate Brush then act on all of them (`brush.delete {names}`, `brush.duplicate {names}`).
   - **Appearance:** the Appearance panel's selected row drives every paint, stroke, gradient and transparency edit (`item` on the commands); effects apply to one fill or stroke; per-item Opacity popups, whose blend-mode list and opacity slider stay open inside them (#430; the Control bar's Stroke popover too); Mixed Appearances, Layers target dots and basic-appearance rules. Effects can be reordered, moved between items and copied by dragging; Show All Hidden Attributes; clicking an effect edits it in place; the object thumbnail drags onto art; effects render on type, images, symbols, blends, envelopes, meshes and repeats, and per-item raster effects export. Groups, layers and type have their own fills, strokes and effects (Contents and Characters rows); the Layers panel's target circles target layers, groups and objects; Expand Appearance turns fills, strokes, effects and brushes into objects.
     Fill and stroke paint (Fill, Stroke, None, Apply Last Color and Apply Last Gradient, also on characters selected with the Type tool), the Stroke panel's options, gradient and freeform point edits, Swap Fill and Stroke, Default Fill and Stroke, the Eyedropper, and the Appearance panel's item edits, Clear Appearance, Reduce to Basic Appearance, Remove Item, item reordering and Move Appearance record no undo step when they change nothing.
     A geometry effect on one of type's own fills or strokes reshapes the whole outline that the fill or stroke paints, on the canvas and in exports; PDF, SVG, EPS and the other vector exports write such type as paths. On type that holds inline graphics, those effects are drawn and exported only when the type has a geometry effect or perspective of its own.

Subject: [PATCH 125/184] Place: RTF files place as area type with their
 formatting

File > Place read text files only as plain `.txt`, and an RTF file
could not be placed. The reference app lists RTF among the formats it
places as text, keeping the file's font and style settings.

File > Place now reads RTF files, written from the Rich Text Format
Specification 1.9.1, and sets their text as area type the way a text
file is placed. Each run keeps its font from the font table, its size,
bold and italic, underline, strikethrough, all caps, small caps,
superscript or subscript (in Document Setup's proportions), baseline
shift and its color from the color table. Each paragraph keeps its
alignment, left, right and first-line indents, space before and after,
and direction. Table cells are separated by tabs and each table row is
a paragraph. Unicode characters, Windows-1252 and Mac Roman bytes and
the special-character control words are read, and of a \upr group's
ANSI and Unicode text, the Unicode text is read. Hidden text, pictures,
objects, headers, footers, notes, field instructions and other
destinations are left out, and unknown control words are skipped.

A file is read as RTF when it starts with {\rtf, whatever its name,
except a .txt file, which stays plain text. RTF files share the 4 MiB
limit of text files. Groups nested more than 512 deep share the
formatting of the deepest one read, the font and color tables keep at
most 4,096 entries, and a file with more than 100,000 paragraphs or
runs is refused. The Place dialog lists RTF files, and file.place,
file.place.info and file.place.queue report the format `rtf`.

The tests in tests_textimport.rs fail without the change, and
text_import_fuzz.rs places random RTF token streams.

+//! Placing an RTF file: its text set as area type with the character and paragraph formatting
+//! VectorCraft has, read as the Rich Text Format (RTF) Specification 1.9.1 describes the format
+//! (<https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=10725>).
+//!
+//! - Text: `\par`, `\line` and `\sect` start a new paragraph, and so does `\row` (the end of a
+//!   table row, whose cells, ended by `\cell` or `\nestcell`, are separated by tabs). `\tab` is a
+//!   tab, `\uN` a Unicode character (the `\ucN` fallback characters after it are skipped), and
+//!   `\'hh` a byte in Windows-1252, or in Mac Roman after `\mac` or `\ansicpg10000`. Of a `\upr`
+//!   group's ANSI and Unicode (`\*\ud`) groups, the Unicode one is read. The control
+//!   symbols `\~`, `\-` and `\_` and the control words for quotes, dashes, bullets and special
+//!   spaces are their characters.
+//! - Character formatting, reset by `\plain`: the font table's font (`\f`, else `\deff`), the size
+//!   (`\fs`), bold, italic, underline (every underline style), strikethrough, all caps, small caps,
+//!   superscript and subscript, baseline shift (`\up`, `\dn`) and the color table's color (`\cf`).
+//! - Paragraph formatting, reset by `\pard`: alignment (`\ql`, `\qc`, `\qr`, `\qj`, `\qd`), left,
+//!   right and first-line indents, space before and after, and direction (`\rtlpar`, `\ltrpar`).
+//!
+//! Other control words are skipped, and so are hidden text (`\v`) and the groups of destinations
+//! that are not the document's text: every `\*` destination, the style sheet, document
+//! information, pictures, objects, shapes, headers, footers, notes, note separators, the text for
+//! readers without nested tables (`\nonesttables`) and field instructions (a field's result is
+//! read).
+//! Groups nested deeper than [`MAX_GROUPS`] share the formatting of the deepest one read, and a
+//! file with more than [`MAX_PARAGRAPHS`] paragraphs or [`MAX_RUNS`] runs of one formatting is
+//! refused.

Subject: [PATCH 126/184] Type: the Touch Type tool moves, scales and rotates
 single characters

The toolbar listed the Touch Type tool (Shift+T), but choosing it did
nothing. The reference app's Touch Type tool moves, scales and rotates
one character of live type by dragging the handles of a box around it.

A click with the tool now selects one character and shows a box around
it. Dragging the box or its lower-left handle moves the character along
its line and up or down. The upper-left handle scales it vertically,
the lower-right handle scales it horizontally, the upper-right handle
scales it proportionally, and the upper-middle handle rotates it. A
character rotated by up to about 84 degrees follows the pointer too.
Near a quarter turn, a drag moves it only along its line. Escape
cancels a drag, and otherwise lets go of the character.

Each drag is one text.touchType command and one undo step. It sets the
character's baseline shift, scales and rotation, and moves it along its
line by changing its own kerning and the kerning of the character
before it, within the kerning range. The characters after it stay
where they are. Where the font kerned the character with its
neighbors, the two kerning values also keep the character in place
when it is only raised, scaled or rotated. The characters after it
stay where they were, or move by the change in its width when it is
scaled. The first character of a line and a right-to-left character
move only up and down. The type stays editable.

+//! The Touch Type tool (Shift+T): a click on a character of a type object selects that one

+## Touch Type
+
+The Touch Type tool (`touchType`, Shift+T) changes one character at a time. A click on a character of a type object
+(`pointer_gesture` with `touchType`) selects the object and that character and shows a box around the character.
+Dragging the box or its lower-left handle moves the character along its line and up or down. The upper-left handle
+scales it vertically, the lower-right handle scales it horizontally, the upper-right handle scales it proportionally,
+and the handle in the middle of the top edge rotates it about its pen position on the baseline. Escape lets go of the character. Each
+drag is one `text.touchType {id, start, dx?, dy?, hScale?, vScale?, rotation?}` and one undo step. `start` is the byte
+offset of the character; a ligature (one glyph for several characters) changes as a whole, and the reply's `start` and
+`end` give its bytes. `dx` (document points, in reading order) changes the kerning of the character before it on
+its line and its own kerning, so the character moves by `dx` and the characters after it stay where they are. The first
+character of a line and a right-to-left character take no `dx`, and `dx` is limited to what kerning from -1000 to 10000 (1/1000 em) on the two
+characters can give. `dy` raises it by baseline shift, which moves a rotated character along its own up axis. The tool
+splits a drag of a character rotated by up to about 84 degrees between kerning and baseline shift, so the character
+follows the pointer; nearer a quarter turn, a drag moves it only along its line. `hScale`, `vScale`
+and `rotation` set its scales and rotation as `text.setRangeStyle` does. Where the font kerned the character with its
+neighbors, the kerning of the two characters keeps it and the characters after it where they were along the line; a
+wider or narrower character moves the characters after it by the change in its width. Touch Type gives the character
+before it a kerning value of its own (with `dx`, and with any other change where the font kerned the character with
+its neighbors), and that character can then move by the font's kerning pair with the one before
+it, as with any style change to one character (`text.setRangeStyle`). The type stays editable.

Subject: [PATCH 127/184] PDF: colours are written in the profiles assigned to
 the document

A document assigned a CMYK profile (Edit > Assign Profile) keeps it when
it is saved, but the working spaces are the app's, and a new session
starts with the defaults. Opened again, such a document exported its CMYK
colours tagged with the working CMYK space (VectorCraft Generic CMYK
(SWOP-like)) instead of its own profile, made that profile the PDF/X
output intent, and separated its RGB colours through it; print
separations did the same. edit.assignProfile still reported the assigned
profile, and document.exportPdf's documentation says CMYK colours are
tagged with "the document's CMYK profile".

Found on a book cover assigned FOGRA39L Coated: built in several
vectorcraft-cli runs, each reopening the saved document, its PDF/X-4
came out tagged with the SWOP-like profile unless every run set FOGRA39
as the working CMYK space again.

Export and print now work in the document's colour spaces: the active
settings with the assigned profiles in their place (document_cms). An
assigned profile that isn't available leaves the working space, with a
warning.

Subject: [PATCH 128/184] Save and Export ask before replacing a file that an
 added extension names
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

After the desktop save panel closes, the app adds the file type's
extension to a name typed without it (or with one the save does not
write). The panel asked only about the name as typed, so on Linux
typing `card` with `card.vectorcraft` in the folder wrote over
`card.vectorcraft` without a question. On Linux the save panel is the
XDG desktop portal, and its GTK and GNOME file choosers return the
name as typed. Windows and macOS add the extension themselves only
when the panel lists file types, and the panels of Document Info's
Save, the presets dialogs' Export…, the CSS Properties export, the
swatch and graphic style library saves and the Libraries panel's
export list none.

When the added extension names a file that exists, Save, Save As, Save
a Copy, Save as Template, the exports and the other writes through a
save panel now ask "“card.vectorcraft” already exists. Replace it?"
first (dialog `replaceFile`). OK runs the write again with the same
answer and replaces the file. Cancel writes nothing and shows the
dialog it was asked over again. The host reports whether a file exists
through a new `Services::exists`.

Paint in these inks inside pattern cells, soft masks and type 3 glyphs, and gradients on type in these inks, still import as RGB. Type in one of these inks can also import as RGB when type in another Separation or DeviceN ink is shown with no path drawn between them.

The desktop app writes its warnings and errors (graphics adapter, a lost graphics device, panics the guard recovered from) to standard error and to `logs/vectorcraft.log` next to the preferences, the two previous runs kept and each file capped at 16 MiB, so a launch without a terminal still leaves something to attach to a bug report (#465).

Saving to a network drive on macOS falls back to a plain fsync when the share refuses a full flush (#1625, part of #1620; not confirmed on a real share), and a save still succeeds when a folder refuses the temporary file, the rename over the document or copying permissions: the content is written elsewhere first and copied in, and a failed copy keeps the temporary file and names it (#1649, part of #1620).

   - macOS: the save sheet of Save As, Save a Copy, Save as Template and the first Save of a new document has a Format menu that lists each format the save can write, with the suggested file's format selected. Choosing a format changes the extension in the name field, and a name typed without an extension gets the chosen format's. A name typed with another listed extension is saved in that format. The menu is set up before the sheet opens; a save panel with one file type is shown by rfd as before (#866, `apps/vectorcraft/src/mac_save_format.rs`).
   - Save as Template writes a PDF-compatible `.ait` as well as a `.vctemplate`, which stays the default: the save panel and the web build's Save as Template dialog list both, and New from Template opens the `.ait` as an untitled document with its layers and art (`file.saveAsTemplate {format: "ait"}`, or a path ending in `.ait`).
     Save as Template always writes a file named with its template type's extension: `file.saveAsTemplate` saves a path ending in another format's extension (`card.png`) as `card.vctemplate` (or `card.ait`), the desktop save panel adds `.vctemplate` to a name typed with a Save As format's extension (`card.pdf.vctemplate`), and `file.saveAs` and `document.save` refuse `ait` with an error that names `file.saveAsTemplate`.

Subject: [PATCH 129/184] Expand: pattern fills expand into their tiles clipped
 by the shape

Object > Expand with Fill expanded gradient fills only. A pattern fill
stayed a live pattern, and object.expand.info did not report it, so the
dialog's Fill option was disabled for it. In the reference app, Expand
with Fill turns a pattern fill into the pattern's tiles, and the shape
becomes their clipping mask.

The Fill step now turns each visible pattern fill of a path or compound
path into a clip group shaped like the object, holding the tiles the
pattern lays over the object's box with fresh ids. The group isolates
the tiles' blending and takes the fill's opacity, blend mode and other
effects. Geometry effects of the fill or the object, such as Offset
Path, shape the group's outline and the box the tiles cover. A path in
the tile art with a random Transform effect is baked with its own id
first, and a path with a brush that varies at random (calligraphic or
scatter with Random variation, or bristle) is baked where the pattern
defines it first, so every tile matches the canvas. The object's other
fills and strokes stay on copies of it in paint order, and Expand stays
one undo step. Type with a pattern fill expands the same way once
Object outlines it, and object.expand.info reports pattern fills under
fill. It also reports gradient fills under a new gradient key, and the
dialog enables Expand Gradient To only when the selection has one. A
pattern fill stays as it is when it lays no tiles over the box, when a
group or type in its art has a random Transform effect, when the
pattern is scaled, rotated, reflected, stretched or sheared and its art
holds a symbol instance, and when the pattern is rotated, reflected,
stretched or sheared, or scaled while its art has geometry effects, and
its art has raster or 3D effects, or a geometry effect on a group or
type.

PatternDef gains instances_in_with, which places the tiles with a given
Scaling. Expand has stroke weights, effect distances and the tiles' own
pattern paints scale with the pattern's transform. When the pattern is
rotated, reflected, stretched or sheared, or scaled while its art has
geometry effects such as Roughen, the strokes and geometry effects of
the tiles' paths become filled art first (bake_appearance, and Outline
Stroke's conversion for brushed strokes), and their live shapes become
plain paths, in their opacity masks too. Tiles place their opacity
masks with them, unlinked ones included (place_art), which also fixes
unlinked masks in pattern tiles in PDF, EPS, EMF and WMF export and in
Distort Pattern Fills.

Faults in the shared code are fixed for every caller. assemble
dropped the effects of a sole part, so Expand lost a lone gradient
fill's own effects and Outline Stroke lost those of a stroke with a
gradient along or across it. Outline Stroke also dropped a brushed
stroke's raster effects from its brush art. Expand replaced an object
whose gradient fill could not be expanded with a plain copy; it now
leaves it as it was. Expand left the geometry effects of a gradient
fill, and with Object off those of the object, on the expanded art,
where they reshaped every strip; they now shape the clip group's
outline, and the gradient fits it, as for pattern fills.
bake_appearance dropped a stroke's raster effects from its filled
outline and filled the outline of a stroke with a gradient along or
across it with a gradient across the outline's box; it now keeps the
effects and makes the gradient meshes clipped to the outline, as
Outline Stroke does. Envelope Options > Distort Appearance uses it too.
PatternDef::offsets_covering overflowed on a region too large to count
in integers, as for a pattern scaled by 1e-20; it now gives no offsets.

A group's or layer's own fills and strokes also paint the underline and strikethrough of the type in it.

Subject: [PATCH 130/184] Type: Optical Margin Alignment hangs punctuation and
 letter edges outside the frame
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Type › Optical Margin Alignment was a disabled menu item. The reference
app's Optical Margin Alignment hangs Roman punctuation and the edges of
letters such as W and A outside the margins of every paragraph of a
type object.

type.opticalMarginAlignment (Type › Optical Margin Alignment) turns it
on or off for the selected type in one undo step, and the menu item is
checked while the type has it on. In every left-to-right paragraph of
point and area type, quotation marks, hyphens, full stops and commas at
a line's start or end hang wholly outside the margin there. Asterisks,
tildes, ellipses, en and em dashes, colons and semicolons hang by half
their width, and A, V, W, Y, v, w and y hang by a tenth of theirs. A
punctuation mark followed by a quotation mark hangs with it.
Left-aligned lines hang at their left margin, right-aligned lines hang
at their right margin, and centered and justified lines hang at both.
Lines break where they did before, and the space that justification
adds between glyphs leaves out the gaps next to a hanging punctuation
mark.

The setting is off for new type and for documents from before it, and
the type object saves it only when it is on.

The Type menu's checks for Optical Margin Alignment, Type Orientation
and the Type on a Path effects now read the type inside a selected
group, as the commands do.

+`type.opticalMarginAlignment {on?: bool}` (Type › Optical Margin Alignment) turns Optical Margin Alignment on or off
+for the selected type objects (or `ids`); without `on` it sets the opposite of the first object's setting. It replies
+`{on, ids}`, and the menu item is checked while the first type object it acts on (inside a selected group too) has it
+on. In every left-to-right paragraph of point and area type, these characters hang outside the margin when they
+start or end a line: quotation marks, hyphens (a hyphenated line's hyphen too), full stops and commas hang wholly;
+asterisks, tildes, ellipses, en and em dashes, colons and semicolons hang by half their width; and A, V, W, Y, v, w
+and y hang by a tenth of theirs. A punctuation mark followed by a quotation mark hangs with it.
+Left-aligned lines hang at their left margin, right-aligned lines hang at their right margin, and centered and
+justified lines hang at both. In vertical type the margins are the top and bottom of a column. The space that
+justification adds between glyphs leaves out the gaps next to a hanging punctuation mark. Lines break where they did
+without it, and a line of one glyph does not hang. East Asian commas and full stops hang only through burasagari, and
+a line that ends in one hangs only at its start. Type on a path and right-to-left paragraphs are laid out as before.
+New type and documents from before it have it off, and it is saved only when on. One undo step.

 - **Paragraph alignment:** the shared Paragraph/Properties alignment row leaves every button unselected when the paragraphs it acts on differ. Auto resolves per paragraph; choosing an alignment uses the existing command. Headless paragraph_mixed_alignment_* regressions exercise mixed → Center → Undo, caret/uniform states, Unicode range boundaries, Auto/direction, split runs and grouped text. These regressions and full integration CI pass. Original captures confirm mixed → Center → Undo in the existing alignment-button layout. The [public Paragraph panel guide](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/design-with-text/edit-format-text/paragraph-panel-overview.html) lists the seven controls, but does not specify mixed-state rendering. Other paragraph fields remain outside this change; scores and hours unchanged.
   For Auto Size area type in columns, the bisection for the frame's height runs on the lines of the one-column layout, and its result is checked with at most two layouts of the columns. When the text wraps around objects or does not fit the one-column layout, or when the check fails, the columns are laid out at every step of the bisection, as before. Typing at the start of a story of 50,000 characters in 2 columns took 1,670 ms a keystroke and now takes 292 ms (release build, `auto_height_in_columns_typing_timing`).
   An edit copies a thread's story only when it changes one of the thread's frames: with a story of 50,000 characters threaded through 8 frames with a style change at every word, moving another object took 7.8 ms and now takes 0.013 ms, and a frame of a drag took 7.2 ms and now takes 0.012 ms (release build, `threaded_story_edit_timing`).
+  Type › Optical Margin Alignment (`type.opticalMarginAlignment`) hangs the punctuation and letter edges at the ends of a type object's lines outside its margins: at the left of left-aligned lines, at the right of right-aligned lines, and at both ends of centered and justified lines, in point and area type of left-to-right paragraphs. Quotation marks, hyphens, full stops and commas hang wholly; asterisks, tildes, ellipses, en and em dashes, colons and semicolons hang by half; and A, V, W, Y, v, w and y hang by a tenth of their width. It is off by default and saved with the type object.
   The Paragraph panel menu's Hyphenation… (`ui.hyphenation`, `text.setFormat {wordsLongerThan, afterFirst, beforeLast, hyphenLimit, hyphenationZone, hyphenateCapitalized}`) sets each paragraph's hyphenation limits: the shortest word that breaks, the fewest letters on each side of the hyphen, the most hyphenated lines in a row, a zone at the right edge where the Single-line Composer breaks before a word instead of hyphenating it, and whether capitalized words break. The defaults are words longer than 5 letters, 3 letters on each side, no limit or zone, and capitalized words hyphenated; paragraph styles and the native file keep the options.
 - **Interface languages, vertical type:** Preferences ▸ User Interface (or VectorCraft ▸ Language on macOS) picks Automatic (the system locale) or a registered language, persisted as `interfaceLanguage`. Translations come from per-language catalogs (`i18n/*.tsv`): Traditional and Simplified Chinese, Japanese, German (every `de-*` locale), Spanish (neutral international Spanish, for every `es-*` locale), French (every `fr-*` locale), Italian (every `it-*` locale) Russian (every `ru-*` locale) and Ukrainian (every `uk-*` locale) cover the whole interface, Czech every menu label; Czech, German, Greek, Spanish, French, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Swedish, Ukrainian and Finnish also translate status-bar and error messages as they are shown (`@msg` templates, every message literal tested; the messages themselves stay English for agents); untranslated text stays English.

Vertical text exports to PDF as real text and to SVG as outlines. The interface is available in Polish (`pl`): menus, panels, dialogs and messages, with one/few/many plurals; AI-drafted, native review pending (#1498).
 - **Transparency:** opacity masks (clip/invert/disable/link), exported as SVG `<mask>` and PDF soft masks. The constant alpha soft mask that PDF and `.ai` export draw a CMYK page with transparency through is white, so applications that read every soft mask by its luminosity show the page too (#1359, part of #1286).

Subject: [PATCH 131/184] Control bar: the Artboard tool shows the active
 artboard's preset, name, X, Y, W and H

With the Artboard tool in use, the Control bar showed Move and Scale
Artwork with Artboard and then the object controls (Fill, Stroke,
Opacity and the rest). The reference app's help lists the Control
panel, with the Artboard tool, among the places to add, delete,
rename, resize and position artboards, set their orientation and
reference point, and open Artboard Options.

While the tool is in use, the Control bar now shows the active
artboard's controls in place of the object controls: Preset, Portrait
and Landscape, New Artboard, Delete Artboard, the Name field, Artboard
Options, Rearrange All Artboards, the Transform link, Move and Scale
Artwork with Artboard, and the reference point with X, Y, W and H and
the Constrain Width and Height Proportions link. Each control runs the
command its Properties or Transform panel counterpart runs, and the
reference point is the one the Transform panel uses. In an 800-point
window the controls up to the Transform link fit, the two artwork
options show as their boxes with their names in tooltips, and the link
opens the position and size in a popover, as it does for objects.

 - **Rulers (#1212):** drag the intersection to preview and set a document zero point, or double-click it to reset to the active artboard's top-left. Transform, Properties and Control X/Y fields measure from it and convert entered positions back to absolute command coordinates. The origin survives every native format version and compression; geometry, guides and patterns stay in place. Global/artboard mode switching and video rulers remain separate. Public reference: [Use rulers](https://helpx.adobe.com/ca/illustrator/desktop/measure-and-align/grids-and-guides/use-rulers.html).
 
 - **Document Setup modal handoff:** Document Setup → Edit Artboards applies valid settings, closes the dialog and activates the Artboard tool. Pointer-click tests cover successful handoff, invalid settings, OK, Cancel and Undo in `dialogs/document_setup.rs`.
+- **Control bar with the Artboard tool:** while the Artboard tool is in use, the Control bar shows the active artboard's controls in place of the object controls: Preset, Portrait and Landscape, New Artboard, Delete Artboard, the Name field, Artboard Options, Rearrange All Artboards, the Transform link, Move and Scale Artwork with Artboard and, while the bar has room, the reference point with X and Y, and W and H with the Constrain Width and Height Proportions link. Each runs the command its Properties or Transform panel counterpart runs (`artboard.setProps`, `artboard.new`, `artboard.delete`, `tool.options {tool: "artboard"}`), and the reference point is the one the Transform panel uses. In an 800-point window the controls up to the Transform link fit, Move and Scale Artwork with Artboard show as their boxes alone with their names in tooltips, and the link opens the Transform panel with the artboard's position and size. Pointer and key tests in `panels/artboards.rs` cover the controls, W about the reference point, the orientation and the name.

 - **Edit Artboards in Properties:** the active artboard's name is a field. Typing a new name and pressing Enter or clicking elsewhere renames that artboard in one undo step, as the Artboards panel's rename does (`artboard.setProps {index, name}`); pressing Escape or leaving the field empty keeps the old name. A click on the Artboard Options icon beside the field opens Artboard Options for the active artboard, as double-clicking the Artboard tool's button does (`tool.options {tool: "artboard"}`). Pointer and key tests in `panels/properties.rs` cover both. Public references: [Resize artboards](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/create-manage-artboards/add-edit-artboards/resize-artboards.html) and [Create and add new artboards](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/create-manage-artboards/add-edit-artboards/add-new-artboards.html).
 - **Artboard Escape routing:** Escape leaves Artboard editing for Selection; during a drag it first cancels the gesture. Headless egui key events cover idle Escape, active-drag cancellation and a subsequent Escape in `tests_distortkeys.rs`.
 - **Artboard deletion keys:** Delete/Backspace delete selected boards in one Undo step, retaining the original first board in the current order when all are selected, as in the public [Delete artboards guide](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/create-manage-artboards/add-edit-artboards/delete-artboards.html). The last board and active drags stay protected; neither key clears selected artwork. Headless shortcut regressions in `tests_distortkeys.rs` cover reordered boards, artwork, saved state and Undo/Redo.

Subject: [PATCH 132/184] Contextual Task Bar: the Artboard tool offers Resize,
 Duplicate, Rearrange All and Export

The Contextual Task Bar showed only with the selection tools and
selected objects. With the Artboard tool it never showed.

With the Artboard tool, the bar now sits under the selected artboards
and offers Resize, which opens Artboard Options for the active
artboard; Duplicate, which copies each selected artboard in one undo
step and selects the copies; Rearrange All, with two or more
artboards, which opens Rearrange All Artboards; and Export, which
opens Export for Screens with the selected artboards checked. The
objects' Fill, Recolor Artwork and Lock buttons are not shown with
the Artboard tool. "Resize" has a row in every catalog.

   - Hint bar, contextual task bar, 19 dock panels with ≡ menus.
   - Numeric fields keep the pointer's pressed character as the text-drag start when movement exceeds the click threshold (#1326, in part); a completed focus click selects the unit too. Pixel/point, plain and optional fields are regression-tested in both directions, before/after focus, with replacement text; keyboard focus, double-click, arrows and wheel keep their prior behavior. Native egui input confirms partial replacement gives 17 px instead of 700 px, one Undo/Redo, window captures and an exact saved-document read in a separate CLI process. Short movements still counted as clicks can select all; that case remains open.
   - Unit fields and length strings take `%` in arithmetic: `3cm*50%` reads as 1.5 cm, and `50pt+25%` reads as 62.5 pt.
-  - The contextual task bar's handle drags it anywhere on the canvas (kept whole on it as the window resizes); unpinned it keeps that offset as it follows the selection, and its More Options menu hides it, pins its position across selection changes (`window.taskBar.pin`), resets it under the selection (`window.taskBar.reset`) and shows the Properties panel. As in Illustrator the position isn't kept across launches. Not done: the bar's tool-specific variants (only the selection tools show it).
+  - The contextual task bar's handle drags it anywhere on the canvas (kept whole on it as the window resizes); unpinned it keeps that offset as it follows the selection, and its More Options menu hides it, pins its position across selection changes (`window.taskBar.pin`), resets it under the selection (`window.taskBar.reset`) and shows the Properties panel. As in Illustrator the position isn't kept across launches. Not done: the bar's variants for other tools (only the selection tools and the Artboard tool show it).
   - With one image selected, the contextual task bar offers Image Trace, which traces the image at once with the Default preset (the Image Trace panel is left as it was), and Crop Image; with an Image Trace object it offers Expand, which keeps only the traced paths. As in Illustrator ("Selecting images displays options like Image Trace, Retype, and Crop Image"; "You can also quickly expand traced artwork from the bar": [Contextual Task Bar announcement](https://community.adobe.com/announcements-651/contextual-task-bar-in-illustrator-2025-quick-actions-when-you-need-them-1546580)). Offset Path and Simplify, which don't apply to an image, aren't offered for one. Not done: Retype, which the app doesn't have.
+  - With the Artboard tool, the contextual task bar sits under the selected artboards and offers Resize (Artboard Options for the active artboard), Duplicate (each selected artboard, in one undo step, the copies then selected), Rearrange All (with two or more artboards) and Export (Export for Screens with the selected artboards checked). As in Illustrator ("the Contextual Task Bar reveals options to resize, duplicate, and export artboards": the [Contextual Task Bar announcement](https://community.adobe.com/questions-652/contextual-task-bar-in-illustrator-2025-quick-actions-when-you-need-them-1546580); Rearrange and Export on the bar: [Managing Artboards in Illustrator](https://creativepro.com/managing-artboards-in-illustrator/)).
   - Tool flyouts tear off: dragging or clicking the tear-off bar on a flyout's right side (or releasing the long press over it) floats its group as a strip of tool buttons, moved by the same bar and put back in the toolbar by the × at its top (`window.floatTools`). While a group floats, the presses that would open its flyout raise the strip instead. Floating strips are kept with the preferences and in user workspaces. Not done: turning a strip vertical, docking it.
   - Screen readers get a name for the Tools panel's tool buttons, flyout rows, floating strips and tear-off bars, and for the icon buttons, text buttons, toggles, checkboxes, radio buttons, tabs, chips, sliders, angle dials and combo boxes that panels and dialogs draw with `crates/ui-egui/src/widgets.rs`: the text, label or tool tip each one shows, or a name of its own where it shows none (the angle dial, the spinner, the preset arrow, the color wheel and the Reference Point's squares). The tool buttons, toggles, checkboxes, radio buttons, tabs and the Reference Point's nine squares also report whether they are on, an icon button that is lit, such as the chosen Align To button, reports that it is pressed, and the angle dial reports its angle. The status bar's First, Previous, Next and Last Artboard buttons have tool tips.
   - Panels undock (#495): a dock tab, a panel icon or a popped-out panel's title dragged out of the dock floats that panel inside the window, and the strip right of the dock's tabs floats the whole tabbed group. A floating group moves by its title bar, a tab dragged out of it floats on its own, and dropped on another group's title bar or tabs it stacks with that group; dropped on the dock, which lights up under the pointer, its panels go back where they live (the tabbed group or the icon column), as its × and the panel menus' Float Panel / Dock Panel do (`window.panel.float`, `window.panel.dock`). The Tools panel floats by its title bar and docks again on the window's left edge. Floating groups stack into sets: dropped on the upper or lower half of another group (a line shows where), a group joins it right above or below it, and the set's groups stack top to bottom, each showing one panel, moving together by the top group's title bar, whose × docks them all; a group dragged by its tab strip leaves the set (`window.panel.float {below, above}`). A double-click on a tab collapses a floating group to its tabs (`collapsed`). Sets dropped on the left edge of the icon column or of another dock column dock as dock columns (a multi-column dock, `window.panel.dock {column}`), whose groups stack, tab and tear out as a floating set's do, and whose top strip floats the column again. Floating panels, their sets and the Tools panel's position are kept with the preferences and in user workspaces, and clamped into a smaller window. Not done: panels in separate OS windows, docking a panel into the default tabbed group it doesn't belong to, reordering tabs by dragging, collapsing a set or dock column to icons, dock columns right of the default dock, resizing floating panels and the groups of a set.

Subject: [PATCH 133/184] Artboards: Alt-click on New Artboard opens Artboard
 Options for the new artboard
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

An Alt-click (Option-click on macOS) on the Artboards panel's New
Artboard used to add an artboard at once, as a plain click does. It now
opens Artboard Options for the new artboard, filled in with the name and
size that artboard.new {} would give it, and adds nothing yet. OK adds
the artboard with the fields where artboard.new {} would place it (20 pt
to the right of the last artboard) in one undo step, and makes it the
active artboard; Cancel adds no artboard. A plain click and a row
dropped on the button work as before.

The new UI command ui.newArtboard ("New Artboard Options…") opens the
dialog. It is listed after ui.newLayer, and its label has a row in each
catalog.

   Align to Artboard uses the active artboard, the one the Artboards panel highlights (`object.align {artboard}`). A press with a selection tool inside an artboard makes that artboard active; with the Selection tool, a Shift-click on an empty spot inside an artboard makes it active and keeps the selection. One selected object is aligned to the active artboard too, whatever Align To says (a lone object is never the key object). When an action plays, its Align to Artboard, All on Active Artboard, Paste in Place, Paste in Front and Paste in Back steps that name no artboard use the artboard that is active then.

   In the Artboards panel, a click on the active artboard's options icon, or a double-click on another row's icon, opens Artboard Options for that row's artboard, and the panel menu's Artboard Options… opens it for the active artboard (part of #1876). Both used to choose the Artboard tool instead. Opened while another tool is in use, the dialog moves the art with a new X or Y when the Artboard tool's Move Artwork with Artboard option is on.
+  Alt-clicking New Artboard in the Artboards panel opens Artboard Options for the new artboard, and OK adds it and makes it the active artboard (`ui.newArtboard`; behavior reference: [Default keyboard shortcuts](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/default-keyboard-shortcuts.html), Use panels). A plain click still adds the artboard at once.
   With Align to Artboard chosen, the Align panel's Distribute Objects and Distribute Spacing buttons use the active artboard (`object.distribute` and `object.distributeSpacing` with `to: "artboard"` and `artboard`). The first object's left or top edge goes to the artboard's left or top edge, and the last object's right or bottom edge goes to the artboard's right or bottom edge. Distribute Objects spaces the other objects evenly by its button's line, and two objects are enough. Distribute Spacing makes the gaps between the objects equal. With anchor points selected, the buttons space the points among themselves and do not use the artboard. When an action plays, its Distribute Objects and Distribute Spacing steps with Align to Artboard use the artboard that is active then.
   With a key object, the Align panel's Distribute Objects buttons use the Distribute Spacing value (`object.distribute {spacing}`): the key object, or the compound path or selected group that contains it, stays in place, and the objects' left edges, centers or right edges (top edges, centers or bottom edges) end up that far apart, outward from the key object's, in their order. With the field's default value of 0, a click puts every object on the key object's line (behavior reference: [Ask Mordy: Distributing Objects](http://rwillustrator.blogspot.com/2008/01/ask-mordy-distribute.html)).

Subject: [PATCH 134/184] Print: open printing preferences for the selected
 printer on Windows (#2569)

When pressing Ctrl+P to open the Print dialog and clicking Setup (or Settings), print.printerSetup previously discarded the selected printer name and unconditionally launched explorer ms-settings:printers. On Windows 10, this opened the Windows Settings Printers and scanners page, displaying the list of installed printers instead of the printer driver printing preferences.

Launch Windows native Printing Preferences dialog for the target printer using rundll32.exe printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /e /n printer, falling back to the system default printer or Settings if no printer is available or detected. Add unit tests covering command construction and fallback behavior.

Fixes #2569.

Subject: [PATCH 135/184] Window: the SVG Interactivity panel attaches
 JavaScript events and files for SVG export
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Window › SVG Interactivity was a disabled menu item. VectorCraft could
not attach JavaScript to an object's events or link JavaScript files
for SVG export.

The SVG Interactivity panel lists 19 events, from onfocusin to
onscroll. Pick one, type its JavaScript and press Enter to add it to
the selected objects; the list shows their events. Remove Selected
Entry removes the picked event, and the panel menu's Clear Events
removes all of them. Link JavaScript Files… opens the JavaScript
Files dialog, which adds a path or URL to the document's list and
removes the selected one. Its Choose… button puts a picked file in
as a file:/// URL. The commands are svgInteractivity.info,
setEvent, removeEvent, clearEvents, addFile and removeFile, and
ui.javascriptFilesDialog. Each edit is one undo step. A document
links at most 64 files.

SVG export writes each event as an event attribute on the object's
element and each file as a <script xlink:href> element. With the SVG
Tiny 1.2 profile, export leaves the events out with a warning. SVG
import reads the listed event attributes and the script links back
as text. It never reads a linked file or runs a script, and it leaves
inline scripts and the links after the first 64 out with a warning.
The native format keeps both.

An unnamed <g> with data-* attributes of its own around a single
object now imports as a group. Before, import folded it into the
object, which then took the group's data-* or, when it had its own,
dropped the group's. An unnamed <g> with event attributes stays a
group in the same way. The SVG import fuzz tests now include event
attributes and <script> elements.

docs/ui-parity.md.

   - Numeric fields keep the pointer's pressed character as the text-drag start when movement exceeds the click threshold (#1326, in part); a completed focus click selects the unit too. Pixel/point, plain and optional fields are regression-tested in both directions, before/after focus, with replacement text; keyboard focus, double-click, arrows and wheel keep their prior behavior. Native egui input confirms partial replacement gives 17 px instead of 700 px, one Undo/Redo, window captures and an exact saved-document read in a separate CLI process. Short movements still counted as clicks can select all; that case remains open.
   - Unit fields and length strings take `%` in arithmetic: `3cm*50%` reads as 1.5 cm, and `50pt+25%` reads as 62.5 pt.
   - The contextual task bar's handle drags it anywhere on the canvas (kept whole on it as the window resizes); unpinned it keeps that offset as it follows the selection, and its More Options menu hides it, pins its position across selection changes (`window.taskBar.pin`), resets it under the selection (`window.taskBar.reset`) and shows the Properties panel. As in Illustrator the position isn't kept across launches. Not done: the bar's variants for other tools (only the selection tools and the Artboard tool show it).

Subject: [PATCH 136/184] Live Paint: Gap Options find and close gaps in Live
 Paint groups

Object > Live Paint > Gap Options was a stub, and paint leaked through
any gap between the paths of a Live Paint group. The reference app's
Gap Options stop paint at small gaps, close them with unpainted paths
and preview them on the canvas.

livePaint.gapOptions (Gap Options) sets a group's options: detect (Gap
Detection), size (small 3 pt, medium 6 pt, large 12 pt, or a custom
size over 0 up to 72 pt), color (the Gap Preview Color, #rrggbb or a
layer color's name) and closeGaps, which adds an unpainted path across
each gap to the group's paths. A gap runs from a loose end of a path
to the nearest point of any path within the size, unless the paths
already join the two close by. With detection on, the faces are made
again as if a line closed each gap, and each face or edge keeps the
look of the old one it lies in or on. The options are stored on the
group, so they are saved, copied and undone with it, and Expand drops
them. Merge keeps the bottom group's options when its Gap Detection is
on, or else turns Gap Detection on with Small when another merged
group has it on. When Gap Detection is off in every merged group,
Merge keeps it off. livePaint.info lists the options and the gaps up
to the size wide that no path closes.

The menu item opens a Gap Options dialog. With Preview on, the options
apply live and the gaps show on the canvas in the preview color, and
OK keeps them as one undo step. vectorcraft-pathops gains find_gaps
and live_paint_with_gaps.

Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
i18n: the 19 complete catalogs have rows for the dialog's labels, and
bg's Gap Options menu label now names gaps instead of line spacing.

 - **Image Trace, measured:** `crates/trace/tests/quality` traces drawings made from known vector art with every preset and [`image-trace-quality.md`](image-trace-quality.md) records the numbers against the baseline. Black and White, Grayscale and Color place each edge by the blend of the pixels across it (to a fraction of a pixel on anti-aliased and blurred images; hard-edged images are read as staircases) and fit outlines as Flat Logo does. *Measured* on each preset's own inputs, all sizes and variants: Default's outlines went from 0.31 px off on average to 0.09 (largest 1.51 to 1.02), Black and White Logo's from 0.27 to 0.06 with 0.3 kinks per trace where it had 15, and the gaps between abutting paths from 64 px to 22. On clean curved shapes Black and White Logo is 0.02 px off (the open tracer measured beside it: 0.20). The palette is made of the picture's own colours (blends along edges take none of it, colours that noise made of one colour merge, a blend pixel goes to one of the two colours it lies between; #1504): 16 Colors on flat art, all variants, went from 70 paths to 4.2 and from 5.1 px off to 0.13, with no path left in a colour the art doesn't have (5.9 before). Photos are smoothed within their tones before they are quantised and stacked layers go by lightness (#1516): High Fidelity Photo went from 3,653 paths to 121 with its colour error down from 2.30 to 1.75, and a 16 megapixel photo-like image is traced in 3.5 s where 4 megapixels were refused. Since then, by the same harness: outlines are cut at their junctions and each shared piece is fitted once (#1535: gaps and overlaps between abutting paths 22 to 50 px of area down to under 2); layers are traced within the box of their pixels and a few at a time (#1546: a 16 megapixel photo 3.9 GB to 0.9 GB); black and white are read against the image's own black and the paper near each edge (#1563, for thin lines in blurred and scanned art); Ignore Color and the Auto Color and Outline presets (#1574); Snap Curves To Lines levels lines within 2.5 degrees of level or upright (#1593, the angle our choice); Create: Strokes puts centre lines in the middle of their ink and makes them as wide as it (#1595: Outline 0.295 to 0.052 px from the true centre line, 18.4 to 2.7 anchors a stroke); sharp corners whose pixel is mostly outside the shape stay corners (#1609: Default 69% to 76% kept). Three options, each off unless asked for as the legacy presets have them: Shapes (#1609: 57 to 62% of plain circles, ellipses, rectangles and regular polygons come out as live shapes, rounded rectangles rarely), Auto Grouping (#1618: paths grouped with what lies inside them, the same picture) and Gradients (#1627: linear gradients traced as one gradient-filled path; on gradient inputs 6 Colors' colour error 2.12 to 0.62 with 6.4 to 3.4 paths, none found in flat art). Snap Curves To Lines moves no end of a line by more than 1.6 px, so long lines a degree or two off stay as the image has them (#1647: Technical Drawing's largest distance 4.21 px to 1.46). Flat Logo takes the tones a scan's uneven paper makes of one colour for one colour (#1657: on scans 470 paths and 21 px off to 8.5 paths and 0.09 px). Shapes finds rounded rectangles and shapes in aliased, blurred and scanned art (#1845: 57 to 62% of the plain shapes up to 98 to 100%, no false shape but one line 2 px wide). Stroked lines get square caps where their ink is cut square, and a wide end that turned towards a corner goes back on its line (#1846: Outline's largest distance 2.94 px to 0.88, 14 anchors to 10). Each of the 14 documented presets has an enhanced version with Auto Grouping and, in all but High Fidelity Photo, Shapes (#1847), measured beside its preset: equal or better within 0.005 px and 1% of edge ΔE on every preset's own inputs (Default 0.091 to 0.083 px); Auto Grouping keeps traced order in its groups, which removed a light seam along the counters of letters. Gradients grows a gradient over the pixels noise and soft rims took off it (#1848: blurred and noisy linear gradients 3 to 11 paths beside the gradient down to 0.5 with 6 Colors, 24 to 56 down to 0.5 to 1.5 with High Fidelity Photo). Silhouettes is 0.52 px off because its threshold is 200 (0.11 px at 128). Still weak, by the same numbers: rounded rectangles and other line-and-arc outlines take 12 to 16 anchors (the fitter does not split lines from arcs), blurred and scanned polygons lose corners, hairlines under half a pixel are lost to the threshold, aliased art is about 0.25 px off, a scan's uneven paper splits into tones when more colours are asked for than the art has, stroke junctions stay at their skeleton pixels, a three-stop gradient in a small or scanned disc is not found, radial gradients stay bands (a draft, #1849, traces them; the documented option is for linear ones, so it waits for a decision), near-regular polygons a few dozen pixels across are made regular with Shapes (up to 0.5 px off), and aliased stroked lines are 0.8 px off at worst.
 - **Image Trace Flat Logo mode:** a fourth mode beside Black and White, Grayscale and Color, for flat-colour logos. Each pixel is read as a blend of the logo's colours (found automatically or named), the blend is interpolated smoothly and every outline is placed where two colours are equally present, so edges are accurate to a fraction of a pixel. Outlines are then cleaned: corners the blur rounded are put back, near-straight runs and near-circular arcs become exact lines and arcs, the rest is fitted with as few Béziers as the tolerance allows, touching colours overlap by a hair so no gap opens, and an outline that strays from the raw contour is fitted plainly instead. Gradients and photos are refused with advice to use Color. Line art whose only solid area is white paper (strokes a pixel or two wide) takes its colours from the strokes' cores, with the lighter shades along a stroke's anti-aliased edge folded into its ink; a page whose ink (a channel at least 48 below white) covers under 1% of it traces to nothing, as blank paper does. *Measured* (a local experiment, not run in CI): a flat-colour logo's vector original was rendered down to a soft 199 × 100 px transparent PNG, traced, and the result compared with the original at 1600 px wide. The built-in colour presets (6 Colors, 16 Colors, High Fidelity Photo, Low Fidelity Photo) had a mean edge error of 2.5 to 3.4 px and region overlap of 0.88 to 0.91; Flat Logo had 0.78 px and 0.966 (0.48 px and 0.975 from a crisp source), in about 0.1 s. Limits: flat-colour art only; needle-thin sharp tips are shortened by about 1.7 source pixels because the blur erases them; it works at no more than 1024 px on the long side (larger images are averaged down first); only one logo family has been scored against a vector original.
 - **Advanced art:** live Blends (steps/distance/smooth colour, editable spine, anchor-targeted Blend tool, faithful interpolation, knockout), Envelope Distort (warp/mesh/top object, Reset, full Envelope Options, mesh handles, Edit Contents; type, images, symbols, gradients, patterns and appearance distorted everywhere), Liquify tools with options and pen pressure, Puppet Warp with rotating pins, Perspective Grid with presets, movable planes and projected type (choosing a perspective tool shows the grid; Hide Grid hides it with the tool still chosen), Gradient Mesh, Shape Builder (stroke-only open paths and lines cut the regions they cross and enclose regions of their own, and regions they bound merge without seams where the lines cross at rounded coordinates (#893); filled open paths count as closed; erase mode while Alt/Option is held: a minus pointer, red highlights of what will go, a click or drag deletes the regions touched, the pieces of open lines and the edges (outline pieces between the points where paths meet, opening their paths there) it passes over, one undo step, `shapeBuilder.merge {erase}` and `shapeBuilder.regions` edges over MCP), Live Paint (every path an edge, open lines included), Image Trace (12 presets, colour layers traced in parallel; a trace past two million anchor points is refused with advice rather than running out of memory, an image over 64 megapixels is traced scaled down to that size (aspect kept, paths at the image's own size) and one over 192 megapixels is refused, and a selection too large to outline shows its bounds (#525); Object › Image Trace › Make and Make and Expand trace at once with the Default preset, #543; with an image selected the Control bar and the Properties panel show Image Trace, whose arrow traces with any preset, Mask (`object.maskImage`: a clipping path on the image's outline, selected so its handles crop), Crop Image (a crop box on the image, starting on its part over the artboard, dragged by its handles or inside it, the outside dimmed, with X/Y/W/H, Apply and Cancel in the Control bar, Enter and Escape, #734; `object.cropImage {rect}` for agents, `{trim: true}` cuts an image to its pixels that aren't fully transparent, pixel for pixel) and Embed or Unembed in place of Fill and Stroke; with an Image Trace object selected, its Preset (choosing another traces again), View, the Image Trace panel and Expand, plus Release in Properties; the five View modes (Tracing Result, with Outlines, Outlines, Outlines with Source Image, Source Image) redraw a trace on screen without tracing again, are saved with it and `imageTrace.setView` sets them, while exports and Expand keep the result; the panel's Advanced section is a header that stays open or closed as it was left (part of #641); Color mode's Palette: Limited, Full Tone (as many colours as the tones need, Less … More), Automatic (flat art with its own colours, else Full Tone; a heuristic) and Document Library (the most used colours of the document's swatches or a swatch library, filled with the swatch colours as they are), part of #641; Advanced › Create: Fills and/or Strokes, where lines up to the Stroke width trace as stroked centre lines (distance transform, thinning, a skeleton graph with spurs pruned, curve fitting; one width per line; without Fills, wider areas become stroked outlines), part of #641), pattern swatches with pattern editing mode, live Repeat (radial/grid/mirror). Object › Expand turns radial, grid and mirror repeats into groups of their instances (#1765, #1756).
+  Live Paint Gap Options (Object › Live Paint › Gap Options…, `livePaint.gapOptions`): with Gap Detection on, paint stops at the gaps that run from a loose end of a path to the nearest path, up to Small (3 pt), Medium (6 pt), Large (12 pt) or a custom size; Close Gaps With Paths adds an unpainted path across each gap; Preview applies the options live and draws the gaps in the Gap Preview Color. The options are saved, copied and undone with the group, and Merge keeps the bottom group's options when its Gap Detection is on, or else turns Gap Detection on with Small when another merged group has it on. When Gap Detection is off in every merged group, it stays off.
   Window › Blend opens the Blend panel: Make, the selected blend's Spacing and Orientation (with no blend selected, the options new blends start with), Reverse Front to Back, Reverse Spine, Replace Spine, Expand and Release, each running its Object › Blend command. Make is dimmed until two or more objects are selected. Spacing and Orientation are dimmed until a blend or two or more objects are selected, and the other buttons are dimmed until a blend is selected.
 - **Paint and appearance (M3):**
   - **Swatches:** names follow the colour model and are unique; Swatch Options (process/spot, Global, Gray/RGB/HSB/CMYK/Web, live preview); editing a global or spot swatch recolours every linked fill, stroke and text run in one undo step; multi-select and delete with confirmation; New Swatch and New Color Group dialogs (a group from the selected artwork's colours); swatches in colour groups convert, separate and count like any other. The Swatches panel selects ranges and whole groups, has a find field, and drags swatches to reorder, regroup or paint art; Add Used Colors, Select All Unused, Merge, Ungroup and Sort by Kind; a CMYK document keeps applied colours in CMYK. Swatch libraries: nine generated colour libraries and five gradient libraries in a library panel, saved as `.vcswatches`, `.gpl`, swatch exchange (`.ase`) or CSS, and loaded from `.vcswatches`, `.gpl` and `.ase` files (`.ase` both ways: RGB, CMYK, Lab and Gray; global, spot and process; groups) and from color books (`.acb`, read only: the RGB, CMYK or Lab colors of a book such as a Pantone book a user owns, named with its prefix and suffix, spot unless it says process, #831); `swatch.library.copyToUser` copies a loaded library into the User Defined folder without replacing a file, and a file with the same extension and bytes as a User Defined library opens as that library. Tints of global and spot colours ("Name 40%") stay linked and separate as a percentage of their plate. Spot colours can be defined in Lab (Spot Colors options). A built-in [Registration] swatch prints on every plate.

Object › Graph › Column… was a menu stub, so a graph's columns and bars
were always plain rectangles. The reference app fills them with a graph
design, vertically scaled, uniformly scaled, repeated with a value for
each copy, or stretched at a guide line.

graph.column (Column…) draws the columns, bars or stacked segments and
the legend swatch of the series picked with Group Selection with a
design saved by Object › Graph › Design. Vertically Scaled stretches the
design to each column's length at the column's width. Uniformly Scaled
scales it both ways to that length and centers it on the column.
Repeating stacks a copy for each Each Design Represents value out from
the zero line, and For Fractions chops the last copy at the value or
scales it down. Sliding keeps the part above the design's horizontal
guide line in proportion and stretches the part below. The design and
its options are saved with the graph, and the graph follows the design
when it is renamed or deleted. Columns drawn with a design cast no drop
shadow.

A marker or legend design made of one path is now drawn in a group of
its own. Painting a series with Group Selection then leaves the design's
paint alone, as it already did for designs of several objects.

   - **Live Corners:** drag a live rectangle's corner widgets (Selection or Direct Selection) to round all corners, with a radius readout; with Direct Selection, select corner anchors to show and round just those corners (#381). Each corner keeps its own radius and kind (Round, Inverted Round, Chamfer): Alt-click a widget to cycle the kind, double-click it for the Corners dialog, and the Properties and Transform radius fields set the selected corners (`object.setLiveShape {corners, radius, kind}`). A link toggle behind Corner Radius (the `singleCornerRadius` preference) switches the panels to a field for each corner of a live rectangle: Top Left, Top Right, Bottom Right and Bottom Left. Corners stay circular when the rectangle is scaled unevenly or along its own sides when rotated (the radius keeps its size, or scales by the mean scale with Scale Corners on); only a shear distorts them. On a rectangle that isn't square every corner is the same circle: a radius past half the shorter side stops there for all of them, the widgets sit on the corners as drawn and turn the edited corners red at that limit, CSS export writes the drawn radii, and rectangles saved stretched by older versions get circular corners when their corners are next set (#442). Live Corners work on any path's corners too, as on a rectangle's (#511): a star's, a live polygon's (which also shows them to the Selection tool, has a Corner Radius field in the Properties and Transform panels and keeps its radius as its sides change) and a pen path's, wherever two sides meet at an angle at an anchor that isn't smooth: curved sides too, trimmed to what the cut leaves of them (#1144). Direct Selection shows the widgets of every corner, or of the corners holding selected anchors; each corner is a circle tangent to both sides, drawn no larger than takes its cut halfway along its shorter side; a path keeps its uncut outline so its corners stay editable, and the same command, dialog, angle preference and View › Hide Corner Widget apply. With Direct Selection a click on a widget (no drag) selects its corner, as a click on the corner's anchor does, so the next drag on it rounds that corner alone; Shift-click toggles it (#1239). While a corner widget is dragged with the Selection tool the bounding box hides, so the rounding shows against the path alone (#1229). A round corner next to a curved side curves smoothly instead of sticking out of the shape (#1547, fixes #1512).
     View › Hide Edges hides the Live Corners widgets, the bounding box and the type widget, and the selection tools then do not answer a press on them or change the cursor over them.
   - **Path editing (#494):** the handles shown are the handles that drag: Direct Selection drags those of a path selected as a whole (as the Pen leaves it), the Anchor Point tool and Pen+Alt no longer grab handles that Show handles when multiple anchors are selected hides, a handle shorter than the tolerance leaves its anchor to be picked, and the anchor tools pick within Selection & Anchor Display › Tolerance. A dragged segment keeps a smooth anchor at either end smooth. With Direct Selection, the Pen, the Curvature and the anchor tools, a path selected as a whole shows all its anchors selected, and the Control bar and the Properties panel offer Convert (corner, smooth) for them too; Remove and Cut wait for anchors direct-selected (#504). A handle drag gathers its snap targets once per drag (it took 21 ms per pointer move on a 20,000-path document, now 1 ms; `vectorcraft-cli perf` measures handle and segment drags on a 5,000-anchor path). Join merges the selected anchor points that lie on one another, as after Average, into one anchor (#1582, fixes #1533); Average and Join in one step, with a corner or smooth choice for the joined anchor, is missing ([gap 1](gaps.md)).
-  - **Graphs:** Column, Stacked Column, Bar, Stacked Bar, Line, Area, Scatter, Pie and Radar graph tools with Graph Data and Graph Type. A series starts in greyscale; Group Selection's fill and stroke are kept separately on the graph and reapplied when its data, type or size changes, and through save, open and undo. Graph Type's Override Calculated Values (both `axisMin` and `axisMax`) uses exactly that value-axis range, split into the tick count (5 when automatic). Line graphs take Edge-to-Edge Lines (off by default: the points sit at the centres of their categories; graphs saved before the option keep their edge-to-edge lines), and radar graphs follow Mark Data Points and Connect Data Points. Blank cells (an empty CSV cell or `null`) are values left out, not zeros: columns, bars and stacked segments skip them, lines and scatter lines break around them and the value axis ignores them, while area, pie and radar draw them as 0; a number in straight quotes is a label, and the data window writes it back quoted. Graph types combine: Graph Type on series picked with Group Selection (or `series` indexes) draws them as their own type, with column, stacked column, line and area mixing on the vertical value axis and bar and stacked bar on the horizontal one; stacked columns take one slot of the cluster, lines draw in front of columns and areas behind. The value axis goes on the left, the right or both sides (column, stacked column, line, area and scatter graphs; bar graphs keep theirs along the bottom), and Separate Scales gives the series assigned to the right axis a scale of their own with its own tick values. Each value axis takes tick marks of no, short or full (across the plot) length and a count per division, and a prefix and suffix for its numbers; the category axis takes tick marks too (none by default), at or between its labels. Graph designs: Object › Graph › Design lists the designs with a preview of the selected one, and New Design (the selected art), Rename, Delete Design, Paste Design (a copy back to edit) and Select Unused, and Marker draws the data points and legend swatches of line, scatter and radar series with a design, scaled so its backmost object fills the default marker's square. Graph Data transposes rows and columns and switches a scatter graph's x and y, and a `|` in a category or series label starts a new line. Pie graphs take Legends in Wedges, Position (Even, Ratio sized by area, Stacked on one centre) and Sort (None, All, First). Graph Type takes column and cluster widths up to 1000% (overlapping past 100%) with First Row and First Column in Front (First Row orders each series' categories; across series the series order decides, so series stay one group each for Group Selection), draws filled lines, adds drop shadows behind columns, bars, lines and wedges, and puts the legend in rows across the top. Text formatted with the Character or Appearance controls, on the whole graph or on labels picked with Group Selection, is kept per kind of label (value axis numbers, category labels, legend labels) through the graph being drawn again. Object › Graph › Data opens a worksheet: cells picked with a click and edited above the sheet (Tab moves right, Enter down, the arrows between cells), Import Data from a tab-separated text file, Transpose, Switch x/y, Cell Style (decimals shown, column width), Revert and Apply. Column designs remain open. `graph.setData` returns and takes the data as CSV with each value written exactly, not rounded to two decimals, so applying the returned CSV changes nothing (#1485).

The dialog lists the designs with a preview; the choice is saved with the graph and follows the design's rename and delete.
   - **Other:** Eyedropper, Gradient annotator, Artboard (Alt-drag duplicates an artboard, and its art with Move/Copy Artwork with Artboard on; Copy, Cut and Paste take the artboard with its art, Paste right of the last artboard, Paste in Place where it was, into this or another document, #446; Object › Artboards › Rearrange All Artboards lays them out in a grid by row or by column, in one row or one column, left to right or right to left, from the menu, the Artboards panel or Properties' Rearrange All, #681; Scale Artwork with Artboard, in the Control bar and Properties beside Move Artwork with Artboard, resizes the artboard proportionally with the art fully inside it and its guides, strokes and corners per the Scale preferences, #602), Measure, Type, Hand, Zoom, Rotate View.
   - **Editing type:** double-clicking type with a selection tool (Selection or Direct Selection) switches to the Type tool with the caret where it was clicked; pressing Escape finishes editing and switches back to the selection tool used before double-clicking it (when in isolation mode, the first Escape exits text editing while preserving isolation mode, and a second Escape exits isolation).
   - **Editing type:** double-clicking type with a selection tool (Selection or Direct Selection) switches to the Type tool with the caret where it was clicked.

   - **Swatches panel clicks:** Ctrl/Cmd-clicking New Swatch makes a spot color, and Ctrl/Cmd+Shift-clicking it makes a global process color.
   - **Panel drag and drop:** art dragged off the canvas onto the Symbols panel becomes a symbol, onto the Swatches panel a pattern swatch and onto the Brushes panel an Art brush; a symbol dragged onto the canvas places an instance where it is dropped, and a brush dragged onto a path is applied to it.
     In the Swatches panel, Alt-dragging a swatch onto another swatch of its kind (not a tint swatch) replaces that swatch's color, gradient or pattern, and the swatch keeps its name and place.

     Keep selected in the Pencil and Paintbrush Tool Options is on by default; while it is off, the path a stroke draws or continues is not selected afterwards and the rest of the selection stays as it was (`path.freehand` `keepSelected`).
     The Blob Brush Tool Options have Keep selected and Merge only with selection, both off by default: while Keep selected is off, the blob a stroke draws or merges into is not selected afterwards, and while Merge only with selection is on, a stroke merges only with selected blobs of its color that it touches (`path.blob` `keepSelected` and `mergeOnlySelection`).
 - **Ruler guides as layer objects:** a guide goes on the current layer, shows, hides, locks and is deleted with it, is listed in the Layers panel (its row selects it) and moves to another layer (`guide.setLayer`, or its row dragged onto that layer's rows); guides on a hidden or locked layer can't be selected, moved or deleted, Duplicate copies a layer's guides and Merge Selected and Flatten Artwork keep them on the merged layer; guides from files saved before guides had layers go on the top visible, unlocked layer when the document opens. Not done: guides stacked among the art of their layer (they are listed above it), a guide row's own eye and lock. Lock Guides also locks the objects made into guides: they can't be selected, moved or deleted (#1543); they are drawn in the guide colour and style of Preferences, and a dragged selection snaps to ruler guides with Smart Guides on (#1583, fixes #1534). The Transform panel shows a selected ruler guide's X or Y, and typing a value moves it (#1659, part of #1597). This is not established by the documentation we could find: the public help pages on guides, rulers and the Transform, Control and Properties panels (read again on 2026-10-14) describe selecting and dragging unlocked guides and the panels' X and Y for a selection, not a guide's position in a panel, and the one public statement of it is a user's [community answer](https://community.adobe.com/questions-652/adding-a-new-custom-guide-785586), which is not documentation. It is kept as a convenience pending the owner's decision, with no parity claim and nothing counted towards a score.

Subject: [PATCH 145/184] i18n(fi): review the machine-drafted Finnish rows
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Native review of the rows added in the Finnish merge: "artboard" is
piirtoalusta everywhere else in the catalog, so the two export rows that
said piirtoalue now match; "Color Scheme" becomes Väriteema so it no
longer reads the same as Swatches (Värimallit). The other added rows
read correctly and are kept.

Subject: [PATCH 146/184] =?UTF-8?q?G2:=20Effect=20=E2=80=BA=20Artistic=20?=
 =?UTF-8?q?=E2=80=BA=20Cutout,=20Neon=20Glow=20and=20Poster=20Edges?=
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Three original Artistic filters on the pixel pipeline, each with a
catalogue row, the generic live dialog, translations and tests.

- Cutout: colours softened by Edge Simplicity (less with Edge Fidelity),
  split into Number of Levels steps per channel and painted as flat
  pieces in their average colour; slivers along softened edges take the
  nearest large piece's colour.
- Poster Edges: channels posterized to Posterization + 2 levels, black
  lines on the edges of any channel and of the outline, widened by Edge
  Thickness and darkened by Edge Intensity.
- Neon Glow: dimmed greys screened with a glow colour from the light
  areas (positive Glow Size) or the dark ones (negative), as strong as
  Glow Brightness.

All keep coverage and work in document units at any Document Raster
Effects resolution. Photoshop filters 33/57; cargo xtask ci passes all
9 steps.

Subject: [PATCH 147/184] Rotate View: resize and rotate cursors turn with the
 view
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

In a rotated view the resize and rotate cursors were the ones for an
unturned view. With the view turned 90°, the right-middle handle of a
selection's bounding box shows at the middle of the box's bottom edge
and drags up and down, but its cursor was the left-right arrow. This
affected the Selection, Free Transform, Artboard, Slice Selection, Crop
Image, Perspective Grid and Perspective Selection tools, ruler guides,
and the spread handle of a freeform gradient.

Now each of these cursors turns with the view to the nearest 45°. The
Selection tool and the Perspective Selection tool turn the handle's
direction by the view's angle before they round it to a cursor.
ToolContext::view_angle reads the view's angle from the screen frame,
and Cursor::turned turns a resize or rotate cursor by it. The new
Cursor::rotate_about_in_view turns the pointer's direction from the
center by the view before it picks one of the rotate cursor's eight
directions. Cursor::rotate_about keeps its signature and behavior. At
0° every cursor is as it was.

Print-size images (more than 512 MB decoded, up to 2 GB) draw in the canvas and in raster exports and can be trimmed with Crop Image; an image with a side past 65,535 px is shrunk to fit, a raster export says when an image could not be decoded, and Crop Image's trim leaves CMYK images alone (#1517). On Windows `vectorcraft-cli perf` reports the cores busy and, with `--deep`, its working set, and warns on a busy machine as it does on macOS and Linux (#1502).
   With `--deep`, each memory row of `vectorcraft-cli perf` also gives the peak so far: the peak working set on Windows and the peak resident memory (`VmHWM`) on Linux. A new last row gives the memory after the SVG export and the save → open → save at the end of the run.
   The renderer composes the two ink planes of a CMYK document that shows transparency into screen colors on up to as many threads as it rasterizes with, instead of on one. At 2880 × 1800 on 8 threads, a page of 300 shapes at 20% to 90% opacity takes 30 ms a frame instead of 55 ms, and 50,000 paths with one at 99% opacity take 258 ms instead of 361 ms (`vectorcraft-cli bench`), with the same pixels.

Subject: [PATCH 148/184] Appearance: the inline effect editor shows choice
 parameters as dropdowns with the dialog's labels

The Appearance panel's inline effect editor showed a parameter that
picks one of some values (Roughen's Points, Offset Path's Joins, the
menus of Smart Blur, Glass, Texturizer and De-Interlace) as a text
field holding the stored value, where the effect's dialog has a
dropdown. Its labels did not have the dialog's mappings ("Channel1"
and "Max Radius" for "Channel 1:" and "Max. Radius:"), and a plug-in
choice named mode whose value is a blend mode name showed the blend
mode list.

The editor now shows the other parameters that effect::choices lists
as dropdowns with the dialog's labels (Drop Shadow's Shade keeps its
radio buttons), translated in the "effect" context, and a pick sends
the dialog's value with effect.setParams. Glass's Texture menu ends
with Loaded Texture once a texture is loaded. A plug-in's choice lists
the plug-in's values, and the blend mode dropdown is only for our own
effects. The labels are form::humanize's without the colon. The dialog
and the panel both call form::choice_label and effect::glass_textures.

Docs: docs/target-app-parity.md.

   - **Appearance:** the Appearance panel's selected row drives every paint, stroke, gradient and transparency edit (`item` on the commands); effects apply to one fill or stroke; per-item Opacity popups, whose blend-mode list and opacity slider stay open inside them (#430; the Control bar's Stroke popover too); Mixed Appearances, Layers target dots and basic-appearance rules. Effects can be reordered, moved between items and copied by dragging; Show All Hidden Attributes; clicking an effect edits it in place; the object thumbnail drags onto art; effects render on type, images, symbols, blends, envelopes, meshes and repeats, and per-item raster effects export. Groups, layers and type have their own fills, strokes and effects (Contents and Characters rows); the Layers panel's target circles target layers, groups and objects; Expand Appearance turns fills, strokes, effects and brushes into objects.
     Fill and stroke paint (Fill, Stroke, None, Apply Last Color and Apply Last Gradient, also on characters selected with the Type tool), the Stroke panel's options, gradient and freeform point edits, Swap Fill and Stroke, Default Fill and Stroke, the Eyedropper, and the Appearance panel's item edits, Clear Appearance, Reduce to Basic Appearance, Remove Item, item reordering and Move Appearance record no undo step when they change nothing.
     A geometry effect on one of type's own fills or strokes reshapes the whole outline that the fill or stroke paints, on the canvas and in exports; PDF, SVG, EPS and the other vector exports write such type as paths. On type that holds inline graphics, those effects are drawn and exported only when the type has a geometry effect or perspective of its own.
+    The Appearance panel's inline effect editor labels each parameter as the effect dialogs' generic fields do, without the colon ("Max. Radius", "Channel 1", "Create New Fields by"). Roughen's and Zig Zag's Points, Offset Path's Joins, Inner Glow's Source and the menus of Radial Blur, Smart Blur, Sprayed Strokes, Glass, Mezzotint, Halftone Pattern, Grain, Texturizer and De-Interlace are dropdowns with the dialog's labels that send the dialog's values, and a plug-in's choice is a dropdown of the plug-in's values.
+  - **Masks and clipping:** opacity-mask controls work while the mask is being edited; transparency commands take ids and work without a selection; clipping sets clip by compound paths, even-odd paths, text and groups on screen and in raster export, matching SVG/PDF. Alt-click shows only the mask; SVG masks keep Clip and Invert; the transparency grid is per-document state; a clipping path's own fill and stroke paint behind and over the clipped art; layers can be clipping masks.

   - **Transparency:** three-state Knockout Group (on, neutral, off), Opacity & Mask Define Knockout Shape, Page Isolated Blending and Page Knockout Group, on screen and in SVG/PDF. SVG export writes a knockout group of opaque art plainly, without masks, so shapes meeting edge to edge leave no seam; translucent, blended, masked or brushed art knocks out through masks. Blend modes match the standard formulas on screen, in SVG and in PDF, and non-isolated groups blend with the art below. Flatten Transparency with presets, a dialog and a Flattener Preview panel.
     On the canvas, the renderer no longer draws the picture of the art below back as an image each time it copies the backdrop of a non-isolated group that blends: it keeps that picture and draws the art that follows over it. At 2880 × 1800, 50 translucent groups with Multiply members take 65 ms a frame instead of 299 ms on 8 threads (`vectorcraft-cli bench`), and the frames have the same pixels.

View › Rulers › Change to Global Rulers (Cmd+Alt+R) was a disabled
stub: the rulers always counted from one document zero point. The
reference app's public help describes two modes: artboard rulers, the
default, count from the active artboard's top-left corner, and each
artboard can have its own zero point; global rulers keep one zero point
for the whole document whichever artboard is active.
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/measure-and-align/grids-and-guides/about-rulers.html
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/measure-and-align/grids-and-guides/use-rulers.html

`view.globalRulers {global?}` switches the mode (toggle by default),
undoable and saved with the document (`rulers`). The menu item reads
Change to Artboard Rulers while global rulers are on. A new document has
artboard rulers; a file saved before the mode existed has no `rulers`
key and opens with global rulers, so it measures as it did.

With artboard rulers, dragging the ruler corner sets the active
artboard's zero point, kept as an offset from its corner
(`artboard_ruler_origins`, by artboard id) so it moves with the
artboard, and double-clicking the corner resets it. The global zero
point (`ruler_origin`) stays separate. `document.rulerOrigin`,
`document.setRulerOrigin` and `document.resetRulerOrigin` take
`artboard`; `Document::ruler_origin_for` is the zero point with an
artboard active, falling back to the corner or the global one when a
stored value is out of range.

The rulers, the Transform, Properties and Control bar X/Y, the Info
panel's X/Y (which ignored the zero point before), ruler-guide
readouts and Shift ruler-tick snapping all count from that zero point:
the view's active artboard reaches the tools through `ViewInfo` and
`ToolContext::ruler_origin`. Command coordinates stay absolute.

Tests: engine/tests/ruler_origin.rs (default mode, per-artboard origin
following its artboard, global origin apart, toggle and undo, save and
legacy files, out-of-range values), ui-egui/src/tests_ruler_origin.rs
(position fields and corner drag on the active artboard, menu label and
shortcut), tools/src/rulerguide.rs (guide readouts and tick snapping).
Tests written for the single global zero point now turn global rulers
on first. "Change to Artboard Rulers" is translated in every catalog.

Docs: docs/ui-parity.md, docs/gaps.md (G7), docs/target-app-parity.md,
docs/mcp.md.

Engine regressions in `tests_widthpoints.rs` cover finite extremes, small nonzero results, atomic rejection, Undo/Redo and native save/reopen. Historical focused validation on the `a3357121` integration observed 2 expected RED failures with 11 passing controls, then all 13 tests passing with the repair; none were ignored. All three added regressions passed in current full CI. A full CI retry on the five-unit combined source at `a0671777` passed all seven stages with 6,613 test outcomes on 2026-10-14. An earlier full-CI run on the identical source panicked in the randomized `ai_mutated_save_never_panics` test; the cause remains unresolved. This five-fix batch does not claim to repair that failure. Scores and hours unchanged.

OK creates the point and optionally adjusts adjoining widths in one undo step. Cancel or Delete discards a prospective point without changing the document or redo history. Command and pointer tests cover profiles, compound paths, adjoining adjustment, existing-point editing and Undo/Redo. Message-catalog checks and full CI passed; the original capture verifies opening and Cancel, and the dialog layout was reviewed (2026-10-13: 28 focused Width tests, all seven cargo xtask ci stages, and a headless opening/Cancel capture with original PNG review).

Each runs the command its Properties or Transform panel counterpart runs (`artboard.setProps`, `artboard.new`, `artboard.delete`, `tool.options {tool: "artboard"}`), and the reference point is the one the Transform panel uses. In an 800-point window the controls up to the Transform link fit, Move and Scale Artwork with Artboard show as their boxes alone with their names in tooltips, and the link opens the Transform panel with the artboard's position and size.

 - **Image Trace, same shift from either side of an edge:** a crack's sub-pixel shift is averaged from its two sides, so abutting regions on one- and two-pixel slivers get the same points and leave nothing uncovered; code-drawn regressions in `crates/trace` (see [quality notes](image-trace-quality.md#same-sub-pixel-shift-from-either-side-of-an-edge)).
 - **Image Trace, simpler contour walk:** `contour::trace_mask` works out each turn from the pixels during the walk, with no precomputed direction table and no assertion; identical loops to the previous walk on every 4 × 4 mask (see [quality notes](image-trace-quality.md#a-simpler-contour-walk)).
 - **Image Trace, measured:** `crates/trace/tests/quality` traces drawings made from known vector art with every preset and [`image-trace-quality.md`](image-trace-quality.md) records the numbers against the baseline. Black and White, Grayscale and Color place each edge by the blend of the pixels across it (to a fraction of a pixel on anti-aliased and blurred images; hard-edged images are read as staircases) and fit outlines as Flat Logo does. *Measured* on each preset's own inputs, all sizes and variants: Default's outlines went from 0.31 px off on average to 0.09 (largest 1.51 to 1.02), Black and White Logo's from 0.27 to 0.06 with 0.3 kinks per trace where it had 15, and the gaps between abutting paths from 64 px to 22. On clean curved shapes Black and White Logo is 0.02 px off (the open tracer measured beside it: 0.20). The palette is made of the picture's own colours (blends along edges take none of it, colours that noise made of one colour merge, a blend pixel goes to one of the two colours it lies between; #1504): 16 Colors on flat art, all variants, went from 70 paths to 4.2 and from 5.1 px off to 0.13, with no path left in a colour the art doesn't have (5.9 before). Photos are smoothed within their tones before they are quantised and stacked layers go by lightness (#1516): High Fidelity Photo went from 3,653 paths to 121 with its colour error down from 2.30 to 1.75, and a 16 megapixel photo-like image is traced in 3.5 s where 4 megapixels were refused. Since then, by the same harness: outlines are cut at their junctions and each shared piece is fitted once (#1535: gaps and overlaps between abutting paths 22 to 50 px of area down to under 2); layers are traced within the box of their pixels and a few at a time (#1546: a 16 megapixel photo 3.9 GB to 0.9 GB); black and white are read against the image's own black and the paper near each edge (#1563, for thin lines in blurred and scanned art); Ignore Color and the Auto Color and Outline presets (#1574); Snap Curves To Lines levels lines within 2.5 degrees of level or upright (#1593, the angle our choice); Create: Strokes puts centre lines in the middle of their ink and makes them as wide as it (#1595: Outline 0.295 to 0.052 px from the true centre line, 18.4 to 2.7 anchors a stroke); sharp corners whose pixel is mostly outside the shape stay corners (#1609: Default 69% to 76% kept). Three options, each off unless asked for as the legacy presets have them: Shapes (#1609: 57 to 62% of plain circles, ellipses, rectangles and regular polygons come out as live shapes, rounded rectangles rarely), Auto Grouping (#1618: paths grouped with what lies inside them, the same picture) and Gradients (#1627: linear gradients traced as one gradient-filled path; on gradient inputs 6 Colors' colour error 2.12 to 0.62 with 6.4 to 3.4 paths, none found in flat art). Snap Curves To Lines moves no end of a line by more than 1.6 px, so long lines a degree or two off stay as the image has them (#1647: Technical Drawing's largest distance 4.21 px to 1.46). Flat Logo takes the tones a scan's uneven paper makes of one colour for one colour (#1657: on scans 470 paths and 21 px off to 8.5 paths and 0.09 px). Shapes finds rounded rectangles and shapes in aliased, blurred and scanned art (#1845: 57 to 62% of the plain shapes up to 98 to 100%, no false shape but one line 2 px wide). Stroked lines get square caps where their ink is cut square, and a wide end that turned towards a corner goes back on its line (#1846: Outline's largest distance 2.94 px to 0.88, 14 anchors to 10). Each of the 14 documented presets has an enhanced version with Auto Grouping and, in all but High Fidelity Photo, Shapes (#1847), measured beside its preset: equal or better within 0.005 px and 1% of edge ΔE on every preset's own inputs (Default 0.091 to 0.083 px); Auto Grouping keeps traced order in its groups, which removed a light seam along the counters of letters. Gradients grows a gradient over the pixels noise and soft rims took off it (#1848: blurred and noisy linear gradients 3 to 11 paths beside the gradient down to 0.5 with 6 Colors, 24 to 56 down to 0.5 to 1.5 with High Fidelity Photo). Silhouettes is 0.52 px off because its threshold is 200 (0.11 px at 128). Still weak, by the same numbers: rounded rectangles and other line-and-arc outlines take 12 to 16 anchors (the fitter does not split lines from arcs), blurred and scanned polygons lose corners, hairlines under half a pixel are lost to the threshold, aliased art is about 0.25 px off, a scan's uneven paper splits into tones when more colours are asked for than the art has, stroke junctions stay at their skeleton pixels, a three-stop gradient in a small or scanned disc is not found, radial gradients stay bands (a draft, #1849, traces them; the documented option is for linear ones, so it waits for a decision), near-regular polygons a few dozen pixels across are made regular with Shapes (up to 0.5 px off), and aliased stroked lines are 0.8 px off at worst.
+- **Image Trace Flat Logo mode:** a fourth mode beside Black and White, Grayscale and Color, for flat-colour logos. Each pixel is read as a blend of the logo's colours (found automatically or named), the blend is interpolated smoothly and every outline is placed where two colours are equally present, so edges are accurate to a fraction of a pixel. Outlines are then cleaned: corners the blur rounded are put back, near-straight runs and near-circular arcs become exact lines and arcs, the rest is fitted with as few Béziers as the tolerance allows, touching colours overlap by a hair so no gap opens, and an outline that strays from the raw contour is fitted plainly instead. Gradients and photos are refused with advice to use Color. *Measured* (a local experiment, not run in CI): a flat-colour logo's vector original was rendered down to a soft 199 × 100 px transparent PNG, traced, and the result compared with the original at 1600 px wide. The built-in colour presets (6 Colors, 16 Colors, High Fidelity Photo, Low Fidelity Photo) had a mean edge error of 2.5 to 3.4 px and region overlap of 0.88 to 0.91; Flat Logo had 0.78 px and 0.966 (0.48 px and 0.975 from a crisp source), in about 0.1 s. Limits: flat-colour art only; needle-thin sharp tips are shortened by about 1.7 source pixels because the blur erases them; it works at no more than 1024 px on the long side (larger images are averaged down first); only one logo family has been scored against a vector original.

A linked image is refused with a message to embed it (#1676). Scores and hours unchanged.

Subject: [PATCH 154/184] .ai import: type from the layers opens without the
 PDF part's outlines warnings

A PDF-compatible .ai read through its editing data kept the PDF part's
warnings that text was kept as outlines ("text was converted to
outlines", the U+FFFD warning and the warning on glyphs that differ
from the installed font). The layers take from the page only text
nodes and the stroked paths around them, so filled outlined glyphs
don't reach the document, and type made from the text document holds
every character.

- The warnings are dropped when the document holds no glyphs kept as
  outlines. Stroked glyphs that come in with stroked type keep them.
- A text object that takes the page's type, next to glyphs the page has
  only as outlines, lacks those characters: a new warning counts such
  objects.
- vectorcraft_pdf exports the three warnings, is_outlines_note,
  is_glyph_outlines and holds_outlines.

     In a `.ai` or EPS opened from its editing data, type has its text object's opacity and blend mode, whether it is made from the file's text document or taken from the page. Where such type has transparency and comes in with other art (the rest of its look, or page type and strokes that go with it), a group of them has it. Where the page draws its type, or the strokes around it, with transparency that is neither its text object's nor its text object's combined with that of the objects around it, the page's type and strokes keep their own instead (`crates/eps/src/import/tests_native.rs`).
     In SVG export without Fewer `<tspan>` Elements, each character of live type that justification or Mojikumi moves (the letter gaps of a Justify All line without word spaces, the gaps between the characters of a justified Japanese line, closed-up punctuation, the space between Japanese and Latin letters) starts its own positioned `<tspan>`, and type scaled horizontally on a justified line is stretched to its own width (`crates/svg/tests/text_layout.rs`).
     A PDF saved with Illustrator's editing data opens through it as a PDF-compatible `.ai` does, with its layers and groups and with art reaching past its page unclipped; such a PDF holds the data in `AIPDFPrivateData` streams (part of #868). A shape a PDF or `.ai` paints with a gradient (a clip path round a shading) opens as one path filled with the gradient, not a clip group round a rectangle, so Shape Builder, Live Paint and Pathfinder work on its outline (#1304).
-    In a `.ai` opened from its editing data, a text object on a layer that shows and doesn't print stays on that layer, made from the file's text document, even where the page doesn't draw it (`crates/eps/src/import/tests_native.rs`).

Such a `.ai` opens without the PDF part's warnings that text was kept as outlines when no outlined glyphs come in, and a warning counts the text objects that hold the page's type next to glyphs the page has only as outlines, which don't come in (`crates/engine/src/cmd/fileio/tests_aiimport.rs`).
     A PDF page whose `UserUnit` (PDF 1.6) is above 1 opens at its size in points, its numbers times the `UserUnit` (one above 75,000 counts as 75,000), and `document.pdfInfo` gives its size and boxes in points too. A `.ai` whose editing data has its artboards in the units of such a page opens from that data at the page's size, with its layers, and when the layers can't be read its pages still take the artboard layout of the data, scaled the same way (part of #1482).
     PDF export and `.ai` saves write a page with a side longer than 14,400 pt with a `UserUnit` (PDF 1.6), its longer side divided by 14,400 and rounded up to the next thousandth, so that no side is longer than 14,400 units (ISO 32000-1, Annex C.2); in PDF 1.3 to 1.5 files and PDF/X files such a page is written in points.
     Placed (linked) files in a `.ai`'s editing data come in as linked images in their place, each showing the low-resolution preview the file keeps of it until its file is found or relinked in the Links panel (a file found next to the document or at its path is read as the document opens). A file with them no longer falls back to its PDF part, so its guides, sublayers and hidden objects open (#1264; `crates/eps/src/import/ai/tests.rs`, `crates/engine/src/tests_links.rs`). In a file opened that way, a gradient with stops in the middle runs its whole ramp across its shape and a gradient object no longer passes its fill to the next path (#1390); text objects with an appearance keep their own text and frame, type of hidden layers stays hidden, and type on later artboards lands on its text objects (#1391); area type whose frame is too short for a line of the fallback font shows its first line, the frame made taller with a warning in the open result (#1392).

Subject: [PATCH 155/184] Fix #2276: the Eyedropper and RGB input give
 color-managed CMYK values in a process document

In a CMYK document, an RGB color from the Eyedropper, a hex value or
paint.setFill was stored as CMYK by the profile-free formula
(k = 1 - max(r, g, b)), not through the color settings. RGB 83/170/223
came in as C63 M24 Y0 K13. A CMYK image was sampled through the RGB its
decoder shows, so its inks came back only when the formula happened to
round-trip them.

paint_from now converts an RGB color into a CMYK document with
Cms::convert and the settings' intent, as Document Color Mode and Swatch
Options already do. This covers paint.setFill and paint.setStroke,
gradient stops, swatch.new {color} and the Eyedropper. With Generic CMYK,
83/170/223 now separates to C59 M12 Y3 K0, and #ff0000 now separates to
C0 M97 Y100 K0 instead of C0 M100 Y100 K0. keepModel: true still keeps
RGB. paint.sampleColor with a stop stores the color the same way.

The Eyedropper samples a CMYK image's ink amounts (a four-component
JPEG, or an 8- or 16-bit chunky CMYK TIFF) and returns them unchanged
(ImageBlob::sample_cmyk_object), also in an RGB document. It takes an
RGB image's sRGB pixel into the working RGB space, as the screen color
sampler does, so the picked color shows as the pixel when the working
space is not sRGB.

   - **Colour:** a Color Picker (colour field, H/S/B/R/G/B channel slider, HSB/RGB/Lab/CMYK fields, hex, web-only snapping, out-of-gamut correction); the Color panel shows a selected colour in its own model and, with nothing selected, the new-art defaults in the mode picked last, which it keeps between sessions; Alt-click paints the other proxy; proxies look through groups and show "?" for mixed paint; Invert, Complement, Apply Last Color (`,`) and Apply Last Gradient (`.`) keep the colour model; every paint command feeds the recent colours. The Color Guide has 21 harmony rules, Steps and Variation options and Limit to Library. Adjust Color Balance (its Global mode shifts tints) and Saturate preview live; Edit Colors and Recolor also reach meshes, images and patterns. Recolor Artwork has colour reduction, five recolour methods, presets, Limit to Library, a colour-wheel Edit tab and Edit Color Group; a local Color Themes panel saves five-colour themes. Fill/Stroke chips open swatch and mixer popovers (the Properties panel has the Control bar's Fill and Stroke chips, Stroke link and weight spinner, with nothing selected too), panels have Illustrator's Window menu keys (Align Shift+F7, Transform Shift+F8, Pathfinder Cmd+Shift+F9, Layers F7, Character Cmd+T…; every panel can be given one in Edit › Keyboard Shortcuts), and Eyedropper Options pick up and apply chosen attributes (Alt and Shift+Alt, image pixels). An ICC CMYK profile converts straight into the RGB working space (not through sRGB, so a wider space such as Wide Gamut RGB keeps colours sRGB can't hold) with the colour settings' black-point compensation, on the canvas and in RGB exports alike (the built-in Generic CMYK compensates both ways, so RGB black separated to a rich black displays as black again). Fills and strokes can overprint (Attributes panel, Overprint Black options), and CMYK documents blend in inks on screen, in PDF and when flattening. Document Color Mode converts the art, symbols, pattern tiles and swatches through the colour settings: Gray stays Gray, RGB greys separate into four-colour greys and a rich black as Illustrator does, or go on the black plate only with `grays: "black"` (also for `document.open {colorMode}`).
     View › Proof Setup › Color blindness – Tritanopia-type turns Proof Colors on and proofs the canvas with the tritanopia simulation of Brettel, Viénot and Mollon (1997). The Separations Preview panel's Proof Setup list offers the same target (`view.proofSetup {target: "tritanopia"}`). Grays keep their value.
   - **Eyedropper sources (#1251):** ordinary and Shift clicks, Shift+Alt appearance append, raster pixels and gradient-stop sampling can read visible locked/template art and sources outside isolation. Sampling leaves the source and selection intact; Alt reverse still uses editable hits, and hidden art stays excluded. Engine/tool/hit regressions cover the editing boundary, color models and one-step Undo/Redo. The general object/image workflow is described in [public HelpX](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/tool-techniques/eyedropper-tool.html); the lock/isolation expectations come from the user report and these regressions, without a new full-parity measurement.
+  - **Eyedropper colors in a CMYK document (#2276):** a CMYK image (a four-component JPEG, or an 8- or 16-bit chunky CMYK TIFF) gives its ink amounts as they are, and an RGB image's pixel or an RGB color given to `paint.setFill`, `paint.setStroke`, `paint.sampleColor` or `swatch.new {color}` (hex input and gradient stops included) is separated through the color settings' CMYK working space and intent, as Document Color Mode converts it. With the default Generic CMYK, RGB 83/170/223 separates to C59 M12 Y3 K0, where the profile-free formula gave C63 M24 Y0 K13.
   - **Sample Color from Screen:** an eyedropper button in the Color Picker and `ui.sampleScreenColor` (which can be given a key in Keyboard Shortcuts) pick a color anywhere on the screen with the system's sampler: `NSColorSampler` on macOS, the EyeDropper API in browsers that have it. The color becomes the fill or the stroke as one undo step, or the Color Picker's color, converted from display sRGB into the working RGB space. Windows, Linux and other browsers have no sampler yet; the button is gray there.
   - **Stroke visibility (#1253):** adding paint to a previously unpainted zero-width stroke restores the existing 1 pt default (`PaintDefaults::default`, `Appearance::set_stroke`), for the selected appearance item, the new-art defaults and Swap Fill/Stroke. Positive widths are kept; recoloring a painted zero-width stroke keeps its explicit zero. A real Eyedropper-to-new-shape sequence reproduces the zero-width inheritance. Five engine regressions cover creation, defaults, targeted items, preserved widths and one-step Undo/Redo (`crates/engine/tests/stroke_visibility.rs`).
   - **Gradients:** lossless, validated gradient params; gradients follow rotate, reflect, shear, non-uniform scale and distortions; the Gradient tool edits the fill or stroke of the active proxy, type included; an interactive on-canvas annotator (move, length/angle, rotate, add/move/delete/duplicate stops, midpoints, a stop popover, Delete and arrow keys). The Gradient panel has the Fill/Stroke proxy, a gradient-swatch dropdown with Save to Swatches, midpoint locations, Alt-drag to copy or swap stops, swatch drops on the ramp and a stop eyedropper; copied appearances and graphic styles place gradients on each target's own bounds; gradient handles snap and honour Constrain Angle. Gradient stops stay linked to global and spot swatches. Freeform gradients (points and lines) are edited on the canvas; radial gradients have an extent ellipse, an aspect handle and an off-centre focal point (SVG `fx`/`fy`, PDF two-point radials). A stroke's gradient runs within, along or across it. Object ▸ Expand turns gradients into N objects or a gradient mesh.

Subject: [PATCH 156/184] Object Mosaic: columns and rows that are not whole
 numbers are refused

object.createObjectMosaic read columns and rows with as_u64 and fell
back to 10 for anything else, so 2.5, -3 or "4" made a 10 x 10 mosaic
and reported success. Transform Each read reference and seed the same
way (a reference of 2.5 used the center point, and a seed of 7.5 used
the default seed), and Rearrange All Artboards cut 1.5 columns to 1
and read "1" as the default 2.

These five parameters now take a whole number, written 4 or 4.0 as the
Rearrange All Artboards dialog sends it. A fraction or a negative
number is refused with "`columns` must be a whole number", the message
object.slice.divide gives. A string or another value that is not a
number is refused with the check_numbers error. The command then
changes nothing. The existing ranges stay: 1 to 1000 mosaic tiles
across and down, a reference of at most 8, and 1 to the artboard
count of columns.

 - **Fonts:** a font is found by any of its names (family and style in every language of its name table, legacy family/style pairs, PostScript name), so documents from other apps open with the font they name; Find Font and `text.fonts` say for each font whether it was found exactly, by another name, substituted or missing, and how many glyphs are missing. PDF and `.ai` import brings Japanese text back as live type: CID fonts without a ToUnicode map read through the standard CMaps, vertical columns (WMode 1) as vertical type, letter spacing as tracking; a glyph is live type only when the installed font (in the closest style of its family) draws the same glyph, and text in a font that isn't installed comes in as live type shown in the fallback font until the font is installed (exports that draw it — PDF, EPS, EMF/WMF, raster, SVG outlines or embedded fonts — warn that they wrote the fallback font, and Print and Print Preview warn about the type that prints in it; `textAs: outlines` keeps the PDF's embedded glyphs). Two installed versions of one family and style (a font library keeping an old file beside a new one) both load, the first staying the one the family and style resolve to; PDF and `.ai` import tries each version when the glyphs differ, and type set in a version other than that one names it (`CharStyle::font_version`), which layout, the substituted-glyph highlight, Find Font, Package and Document Info follow. Fonts outside the font folders are listed too: those font services such as Adobe Fonts load on Windows, through DirectWrite, and those apps and font managers register with CoreText on macOS (#579). When a document opens with fonts that aren't available, fonts used only in symbols included, a Missing Fonts dialog lists them after the linked-file questions, with Find Fonts (Type › Find Font on them) and Close. Its Find in Folder… (in Find Font too) searches a folder on several threads, reads only what the font scan reads of font files and skips app packages, the Program Files and ProgramData folders, the system's folders and the app data folders in a home folder; Add Fonts copies the font files the user chooses, suitcase fonts with their resource fork, into VectorCraft's own Fonts folder, which the desktop app and `vectorcraft-cli` read (`text.missingFonts`, `text.findFontFiles`, `text.addFontFiles`). The font scan on Linux also reads the folders fontconfig's configuration lists, such as TeX fonts under `/usr/share/texmf/fonts` (#1548, fixes #1529; not verified on Linux).
   The font database looks up a name that is neither a loaded nor an installed family among the other names of the loaded and installed fonts once for each style it is asked in, and keeps the answer until fonts are added or rescanned. Laying out a story of 1,000 paragraphs set in a font that is not installed, with 400 more fonts loaded, takes a median of 56 to 71 ms instead of 409 to 507 ms on Windows 11 (`CRAFT_FONTS_DIR=<craft-fonts checkout> cargo test --release -p vectorcraft-text --lib missing_font_story_layout_timing -- --ignored --nocapture`).

Subject: [PATCH 158/184] New Document and Document Setup: values out of range
 in a saved preset or a file are read in range

file.new takes a width and height up to 163,830 pt, 1 to 1,000
artboards, a spacing of 0 to 100,000 pt and a bleed of 0 to 72 pt a
side, but a saved or Recent New Document preset in the preferences
was read as it was stored. With a width of -5, file.new failed with
"width/height must be positive and within the canvas"; a spacing of
-50 overlapped the artboards, a preset with 5,000 artboards made 5,000
artboards, and a bleed of 100 reached the document. A .vectorcraft
file's Document Setup bleed, superscript and subscript proportions and
small caps size also opened as stored, and document.setup then failed
when its own report was passed back to it.

These values are now read as the nearer end of the range their
setter takes, and an artboard width or height of 0 or less is read as
1 pt. Presets and files with values in range read as before.

Docs: docs/mcp.md (Document Setup, New Document).

 clipping path's outline, not its hidden art

A selected clip group drew the outline of everything inside it: the
clipping path, the whole rectangle of a clipped image, and the whole
outline and anchors of each clipped path. The Selection tool's
bounding box, which fits the clipping path, showed on top of them.
The hover highlight and the key object outline drew the same hidden
art.

The selection overlay, the hover highlight and the key object outline
now show only the clipping path of a clip group or clipping layer,
its first child. The overlay's limit on anchors counts only that path
too, so a clip group that hides a large trace still shows its
clipping path's anchors and hover highlight. The art inside still
shows its whole outline when it is selected on its own: with Edit
Contents, a Direct or Group Selection click, or in isolation mode.

Subject: [PATCH 160/184] Rasterize, Flatten Transparency: commands that
 replace art with a rendering warn about an undecodable image

Object > Rasterize, Crop Image, Flatten Transparency, Expand
Appearance of raster effects and Vector Halftone draw the art with the
renderer and replace it with the result. When the art held an image
that could not be decoded, the renderer drew nothing for it, and the
result lacked the image with no message. A raster export of the same
art warns that "an image couldn't be decoded and is missing from the
picture".

These five commands now compare decode_failures before and after they
draw, as raster exports do, and their replies carry that text as
`warning`. They still make their result in one undo step. The app
shows a command's `warning` in the status bar: after a menu command,
after OK in a dialog with a preview, and after a tool runs a command
(Crop Image's Apply).

Docs: docs/mcp.md (Flatten Transparency, Expand Appearance, Document
Raster Effects Settings, Vector halftone).

Subject: [PATCH 161/184] Images: the too-large note counts the image's pixels
 as RGBA
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

File › Open, File › Place and the Links panel note an image that needs
more than the decode allowance (2 GiB, 512 MiB in the web build). The
note counted the bytes the decoder gives, one a pixel for an 8-bit or
1-bit gray image, so a 1-bit gray PNG of 23,171 × 23,170 pixels (537 MB
as gray, 2,147,488,280 bytes as RGBA) got no note, although sampling,
recoloring and Load Texture refuse it for its RGBA size.

The note now counts width × height × 4, or the decoder's bytes when
they are more, against the allowance, with the size computed in 64
bits. Such an image gets the note an oversized RGBA image gets. Images
within the allowance get no note, as before.

Subject: [PATCH 162/184] Type: a huge selection of type on a path draws no
 per-object brackets

The Selection and Direct Selection tools drew the start, center and end
brackets of every selected type on a path, and hit-tested each of
them, however large the selection was: 32,768 selected type on a path
objects added 1,310,720 vertices to the frame's mesh, 40 for each
object. The PDF importer makes type on a path for curved text lines,
so selecting all of a large PDF can reach that size.

With more than 10,000 type on a path objects selected, the tools now
neither draw nor hit-test any bracket: a press where a bracket would
be does not start a bracket drag, and the pointer does not change to
the bracket cursor there. The tools draw 10 points for each object's
brackets, so 10,000 objects take 100,000, the same number as the
canvas's limit on the anchor points it outlines. The tools crate has
its own constant with the same value.

Subject: [PATCH 163/184] Rotate View: a two-finger rotation on a Mac trackpad
 turns the view about the pointer
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

A two-finger rotation on a Mac trackpad did not turn the view. With
the new General preference Trackpad Gesture to Rotate View
(`trackpadRotateView`, on by default) and the pointer over the canvas,
the rotation turns the view about the pointer, keeping the document
point under it in place. The view does not turn until the rotation
reaches 5°; it then turns by the whole rotation and follows each later
rotation event. A rotation ends 0.25 s after its last event. A rotation
in the same frame as a pinch zooms and turns about the same point.

egui reports the gesture as `Event::Rotate`: egui-winit makes it from
winit's macOS rotation gesture, and eframe makes it from Safari's
gesture events in the web build. Rotation events that arrive while
fingers are on a touch screen do not turn the view. With the
preference off, the gesture does not turn the view.

Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md, docs/hardware-parity.md.

   View › Rotate View turns the view to the status bar's preset angles (`view.rotate {angle}`, which takes any angle). View › Rotate View to Selection turns the view to the angle of the selected objects' bounding box, so the box is square to the window (`view.rotateToSelection`).
   When the view angle changes (a Rotate View drag, the status bar's angle menu, Reset Rotate View or a saved view) and the desktop app renders the frame at the new angle on the render worker, the canvas draws the last frame turned to the new angle until that frame is ready. It used to draw no art until then.
   With the view rotated, a second Escape less than a second after the first resets the rotation, as Reset Rotate View does. The first Escape may end something else, such as isolation mode or a path being drawn. The second resets the view only when it has nothing else to end, and an Escape that closes a menu does not count. After a click, or a press of another key that is not a modifier (Shift, Control, Alt/Option or Command), the next Escape counts as the first. With the Rotate View tool chosen, one Escape resets the view.
+  A two-finger rotation on a Mac trackpad turns the view about the pointer once it reaches 5° (Preferences › General › Trackpad Gesture to Rotate View, on by default).
   The status bar navigator's field shows the active artboard's number and name, and its drop-down lists every artboard by number and name, as the Artboards panel does. Choosing an artboard in the list makes it the active artboard and fits it in the window (`view.goToArtboard`). The list opens on the active artboard's row and lays out only the rows in view and at most one more.

Surviving curves and appearance stay intact; one Undo restores the document and selection, and a second Delete removes the selected remainder. Explicit Remove Anchor Points still reconnects/refits. Four core regressions, one full-frame Delete/Backspace regression and three existing removal/segment controls pass, covering these distinctions, multiple deletions, transformed geometry and mixed whole-object selection. Behaviour references: the legacy public [Illustrator reference guide, Add or delete an anchor point](https://helpx.adobe.com/content/dam/help/en/pdf/illustrator_reference.pdf) distinguishes keyboard deletion from dedicated removal; the current [Add or remove anchor points](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/draw-shapes-and-paths/modify-paths/add-or-remove-anchor-points.html) describes the dedicated tools. Other G11 gaps and scores/hours remain unchanged.

Subject: [PATCH 164/184] Variables: a data set rewrites bound type on hidden
 layers

dataset.select skipped every bound object inside a hidden layer or
group. Type on a hidden layer kept the previous row's text, which
showed when the layer was shown again, and dataset.list and the
Variables panel reported every row as matching that type while the
layer stayed hidden.

dataset.select, dataset.next and dataset.prev now rewrite type and
apply the other values on hidden objects and inside hidden layers and
groups. Those objects stay hidden unless a visibility value shows
them. Objects that are locked or inside a locked layer or group are
still skipped and counted in `skipped`. dataset.list, dataset.capture
and dataset.update read hidden objects as well. Binding still refuses
art inside a hidden layer or group.

The values now go in the order the variables are defined. The passes
that applied visibility values before and after the other values are
removed.

Subject: [PATCH 165/184] Blends, meshes and envelopes: an index or count that
 is not a whole number is refused
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The blend spine commands and the gradient mesh point commands read
their anchor, segment or index as a number and dropped its fraction,
so object.blend.spine.moveAnchor with anchor 1.5 moved point 1 and
reported success. object.envelope.setMeshPoint did the same and also
read a negative index as 0. Specified Steps in object.blend.make and
object.blend.options, and the rows and columns of object.mesh.create,
object.envelope.makeWithMesh and resetWithMesh, dropped their fraction
in the same way.

These commands now fail with "`<key>` must be a whole number" for a
fraction, and object.envelope.setMeshPoint fails with "index must be
≥ 0" for a negative index, as the other point commands do. Whole
numbers written as 4.0, as the Blend Options and Make with Mesh
dialogs send them, still work.

 - **Live objects after document changes:** a blend, envelope or repeat, with or without an effect of its own, is evaluated again when one of these changes: the tiling of a pattern whose tiles an envelope bends (Distort Pattern Fills), a symbol shown inside a symbol, a pattern or an opacity mask, the fonts of its type, a placed document's file once the file is read, and the color settings. A gradient mesh, with or without an effect of its own, is colored again when the color settings change.

Subject: [PATCH 166/184] Artboards: Rearrange and Select All on Active
 Artboard measure a symbol instance by its art
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Rearrange and Select › All on Active Artboard measured a symbol
instance as its transform applied to the 20 × 20 square around the
symbol's origin, not by the symbol's art. An instance whose art lies
away from that square moved with, or was selected on, the artboard
the square was on. Convert to Artboards, Transform Each, Lock and
Hide › All Artwork Above, Paste and Place from Library at a point,
and the clipboard imports measured the instance the same way, as did
Copy and Cut when they recorded the source artboard and library.add
when it sized a graphic.

These commands now measure an instance by its art through
Document::symbol_boxes, as Document::art_on_artboard, Fit to Artwork
Bounds and the Align commands do. Clipboard::bounds measures with the
symbols the clipboard holds. clipboard.exportPng, clipboard.exportPdf
and the PNG and PDF that Copy offers other apps are now cropped to
the instance's art.

Subject: [PATCH 167/184] Artboards: art centered on an artboard's right or
 bottom edge is on that artboard
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Rearrange All Artboards, Select › All on Active Artboard (for objects
with no area), Copy's source artboard for Paste in Place, Align to
Artboard without an index, Crop Image, the Crop Image tool, Place with
`at`, CSS positions and a filter plug-in's artboard decided whether a
point or an object's center is on an artboard with Rect::contains,
which leaves out the right and bottom edges. A line along an artboard's right or
bottom edge was on no artboard: Rearrange left it behind, and All on
Active Artboard did not select it. Document::art_on_artboard counts
art flush with those edges (#890).

They now count the edges as art_on_artboard does, within a millionth
of a point. On an edge two artboards share, the artboard to the right
of it or below it still holds the point. All on Active Artboard
selects a line on a shared edge from either artboard. A press exactly
on a right or bottom edge now picks that artboard, and the Artboard
tool's cursor shows Move there.

Subject: [PATCH 168/184] Print: a Print Tiling origin on an artboard's right
 or bottom edge is measured from that artboard

The Print Tiling tool's press and print.tiling.set without `artboard`
decided which artboard a point is on with Rect::contains, which leaves
out the right and bottom edges. A press exactly on an artboard's right
or bottom edge picked no artboard when no other artboard holds that
point, so the drag did not snap to that artboard's edges. An origin
there was measured from the first printed artboard: with artboards at
0 to 300 pt and 300 to 600 pt, an origin on the second one's right edge
was saved as x 600 instead of 300.

Both now count the edges as Document::art_on_artboard does, within a
millionth of a point.

Subject: [PATCH 169/184] Artboards: the doc comment names the shared corner
 the first artboard holds

On an edge two artboards share, the artboard to the right of it or below
it holds a point, except at the end of the edge that lies on that
artboard's bottom or right edge, such as where both artboards' bottom
edges meet. There the first artboard holds it, or the last when
topmost. The doc comment and the test comments now say so, and the test
asserts that corner.

Subject: [PATCH 170/184] Part of #2441: Group Selection picks and moves one
 path of a compound path

A click with the Group Selection tool on a compound path selects the path
under the pointer (its outline within the pick tolerance, else the innermost
path whose area holds the click), so the outer shape and each hole can be
selected on their own; Shift-click adds another, and a click on a selected
path adds the compound path, as a click on a group member climbs to its group.

A path selected this way is an object of its own for Move, Transform, Rotate
and the other transforms, as it already was inside an isolated compound path:
the hole of a ring moves without the ring. Paint and the other commands still
go to the compound path, which holds the paint.

Docs: docs/target-app-parity.md, docs/ui-parity.md.

     Transform Again uses the Copy, Transform Patterns, Scale Strokes & Effects and Scale Corners choices of the transform it repeats; after a bounding-box handle drag on area type, it resizes the type area again and the type keeps its size (`object.transformAgain`). With anchors selected with Direct Selection, Move, Rotate, Scale, Reflect, Shear and Transform Again (the commands, their dialogs and the four tools' drags) transform only those anchors, their handles with them, about the centre of the box around them unless a point was clicked; a copy still copies the whole object (#1408; behaviour reference: [adjust path segments](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/adjust-path-segments.html); the default reference point and the copy are our choices). The Move, Rotate, Scale, Reflect and Shear dialogs have a Preview checkbox, off when they open: while it is on the canvas follows the values, Cancel rolls it back and OK is still one undo step; Up/Down step the Rotate and Shear angles and the Scale percentages by 1, Shift by 10 (#1412). The five dialogs and Transform Each have Transform Objects beside Transform Patterns: off, the art stays and only its pattern tiles transform (`objects` on the transform commands), and Transform Again repeats the choice (#1448; behaviour reference: [scale objects](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/manage-objects/reshape-transform-objects/scale-objects.html); the checkboxes are always enabled and the Scale page's pair is applied to all of them, our choices). Reflect's axis is Horizontal, Vertical or an angle (#1460; [reflect objects along an axis](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/manage-objects/arrange-objects/reflect-objects-along-an-axis.html)). The link that keeps Transform Each's two scales equal is not built.
   - **Pen:** Alt pressed in the middle of dragging out an anchor splits its handles and keeps the curve already shaped into it (only the outgoing handle follows the pointer); Space held while dragging out an anchor moves it, handles and all. A press on the first anchor of the path being drawn closes it whatever the drag then does: the drag shapes the closing curve (symmetric handles, Alt breaks them) and the release closes the path wherever it ends (#501). Clicking the last anchor of the path being drawn retracts its outgoing handle (convert cursor), and dragging from it pulls out a new one on its own. Auto Add/Delete: over a selected path, a click on a segment adds an anchor and a click on an anchor deletes it (add and delete cursors); Shift held, or Preferences › General › Disable Auto Add/Delete, starts a new path instead. Alt held over a handle end or an anchor of a selected path (the one being drawn too) works as the Anchor Point tool, with its convert cursor: dragging a handle moves it alone, clicking a smooth anchor makes it a corner, dragging an anchor pulls out new symmetric handles, dragging a segment reshapes it; drawing then goes on. Cmd (Ctrl) held drags with the selection tool chosen last, Direct Selection until one is (handles, anchors and segments of the path being drawn or another), and the Pen then goes on drawing its path while that stays selected; the pointer shows that tool's while Cmd is held. The same holds for agents (`pointer_gesture` with `mods.cmd`), as the borrowing now lives in the engine (#494). With the Pen, a press that moves under 3 screen pixels is a click (a corner without handles), and a Precise Cursors command toggles the existing preference and can take a shortcut (#1663).
   - **Direct Selection (#1278):** clicking a segment picks its connection, with hollow endpoint anchors and only that curve's direction handles. Delete leaves the neighboring curves and appearance intact, opens/splits contours in one undo step, and another Delete removes the remaining selected path. A whole-path drag and deliberate anchor selection keep their existing behavior; egui frames and native control/art checked, OS mouse/visual QA pending. Where anchors of overlapping objects coincide, a click or drag takes the anchor of the selected object, also when another object lies over it (#1509, fixes #1508). Delete removes every selected anchor of a closed path (it used to remove the wrong ones), removes objects selected whole along with the selected anchors of others, and keeps the remainder selected so a second Delete removes it (#1674). In isolation mode Direct Selection and Group Selection pick only inside the isolated object (#1666). Escape cancels a Direct Selection drag (#1803, #1743). Double-clicking type (including type nested inside a group) switches to the Type tool and puts the caret at the clicked character.
+  - **Group Selection (#2441):** a click picks one path of a compound path (its outline within the pick tolerance, else the innermost path whose area holds the click: the outer shape or a hole), Shift-click adds another, and a click on a selected path adds the compound path, as a click on a group member climbs to its group. A path selected this way moves, rotates and scales on its own; paint still goes to the compound path.
     With Direct Selection, Shift pressed during the drag of a curved segment keeps both of its handles at right angles to the line between its anchors, on the same side and at the same length (`path.reshapeSegment {perpendicular}`). Shift held while any segment is dragged with the Anchor Point tool or the Pen with Alt does the same. A selected blend spine's segment dragged with the Anchor Point tool, or a curved one dragged with Direct Selection, bends the same way (`object.blend.spine.reshapeSegment`).
-  - **Group Selection (#2441):** a click picks one path of a compound path (its outline within the pick tolerance, else the innermost path whose area holds the click: the outer shape or a hole), Shift-click adds another, and a click on a selected path adds the compound path, as a click on a group member climbs to its group.
   - **Live Corners:** drag a live rectangle's corner widgets (Selection or Direct Selection) to round all corners, with a radius readout; with Direct Selection, select corner anchors to show and round just those corners (#381). Each corner keeps its own radius and kind (Round, Inverted Round, Chamfer): Alt-click a widget to cycle the kind, double-click it for the Corners dialog, and the Properties and Transform radius fields set the selected corners (`object.setLiveShape {corners, radius, kind}`). A link toggle behind Corner Radius (the `singleCornerRadius` preference) switches the panels to a field for each corner of a live rectangle: Top Left, Top Right, Bottom Right and Bottom Left. Corners stay circular when the rectangle is scaled unevenly or along its own sides when rotated (the radius keeps its size, or scales by the mean scale with Scale Corners on); only a shear distorts them. On a rectangle that isn't square every corner is the same circle: a radius past half the shorter side stops there for all of them, the widgets sit on the corners as drawn and turn the edited corners red at that limit, CSS export writes the drawn radii, and rectangles saved stretched by older versions get circular corners when their corners are next set (#442). Live Corners work on any path's corners too, as on a rectangle's (#511): a star's, a live polygon's (which also shows them to the Selection tool, has a Corner Radius field in the Properties and Transform panels and keeps its radius as its sides change) and a pen path's, wherever two sides meet at an angle at an anchor that isn't smooth: curved sides too, trimmed to what the cut leaves of them (#1144). Direct Selection shows the widgets of every corner, or of the corners holding selected anchors; each corner is a circle tangent to both sides, drawn no larger than takes its cut halfway along its shorter side; a path keeps its uncut outline so its corners stay editable, and the same command, dialog, angle preference and View › Hide Corner Widget apply. With Direct Selection a click on a widget (no drag) selects its corner, as a click on the corner's anchor does, so the next drag on it rounds that corner alone; Shift-click toggles it (#1239). While a corner widget is dragged with the Selection tool the bounding box hides, so the rounding shows against the path alone (#1229). A round corner next to a curved side curves smoothly instead of sticking out of the shape (#1547, fixes #1512).
     View › Hide Edges hides the Live Corners widgets, the bounding box and the type widget, and the selection tools then do not answer a press on them or change the cursor over them.
   - **Path editing (#494):** the handles shown are the handles that drag: Direct Selection drags those of a path selected as a whole (as the Pen leaves it), the Anchor Point tool and Pen+Alt no longer grab handles that Show handles when multiple anchors are selected hides, a handle shorter than the tolerance leaves its anchor to be picked, and the anchor tools pick within Selection & Anchor Display › Tolerance. A dragged segment keeps a smooth anchor at either end smooth. With Direct Selection, the Pen, the Curvature and the anchor tools, a path selected as a whole shows all its anchors selected, and the Control bar and the Properties panel offer Convert (corner, smooth) for them too; Remove and Cut wait for anchors direct-selected (#504). A handle drag gathers its snap targets once per drag (it took 21 ms per pointer move on a 20,000-path document, now 1 ms; `vectorcraft-cli perf` measures handle and segment drags on a 5,000-anchor path). Join merges the selected anchor points that lie on one another, as after Average, into one anchor (#1582, fixes #1533); Average and Join in one step, with a corner or smooth choice for the joined anchor, is missing ([gap 1](gaps.md)).

Subject: [PATCH 173/184] Part of #2460: a huge selection of type, images,
 symbols or meshes shows its bounds

A selection with more than 100,000 anchors shows its bounds instead of
every outline and anchor (#525). The count took in path anchors only.
Type, images, symbol instances, placed documents, gradient meshes and
envelopes counted nothing, although the selection overlay outlines each
of them: a box, an area type frame or a type path, a baseline marker
for point type, and the points and mesh lines of meshes and envelopes.
The PDF importer makes type objects from a page's text lines, one image
object per image and one gradient mesh per patch or triangle of a mesh
shading, so selecting all of a large PDF outlined each of them: 131,072
selected mesh pieces need 16.8 million vertices, a 336 MB vertex
buffer, past wgpu's 256 MiB buffer limit.

The count now takes in what the overlay draws for each kind. Paths
count their anchors. Area type and type on a path count the anchors of
their frame or path, and point type counts six: its box's corners and
the ends of its baseline marker. Images, symbol instances, placed
documents, and area type or type on a path in perspective count the
four corners of their box, and gradient meshes and envelopes count
their points and the ends of their mesh lines. The selection's outline,
the key object's outline and the hover highlight all use the count.

Images, symbol instances, placed documents, and area type or type on a path in perspective count the four corners of their box, and gradient meshes and envelopes count their points and the ends of their mesh lines. The hover highlight leaves out an object past that count, and such an object shows its bounds as the key object.

Each of these saves now passes the one file type it writes, as Save and

the Windows and macOS panels add its extension. The labels are the ones
the open dialogs use for these files (Swatch libraries, Libraries, the

 - **Ruler guides as layer objects:** a guide goes on the current layer, shows, hides, locks and is deleted with it, is listed in the Layers panel (its row selects it) and moves to another layer (`guide.setLayer`, or its row dragged onto that layer's rows); guides on a hidden or locked layer can't be selected, moved or deleted, Duplicate copies a layer's guides and Merge Selected and Flatten Artwork keep them on the merged layer; guides from files saved before guides had layers go on the top visible, unlocked layer when the document opens. Not done: guides stacked among the art of their layer (they are listed above it), a guide row's own eye and lock. Lock Guides also locks the objects made into guides: they can't be selected, moved or deleted (#1543); they are drawn in the guide colour and style of Preferences, and a dragged selection snaps to ruler guides with Smart Guides on (#1583, fixes #1534). The Transform panel shows a selected ruler guide's X or Y, and typing a value moves it (#1659, part of #1597). This is not established by the documentation we could find: the public help pages on guides, rulers and the Transform, Control and Properties panels (read again on 2026-10-14) describe selecting and dragging unlocked guides and the panels' X and Y for a selection, not a guide's position in a panel, and the one public statement of it is a user's [community answer](https://community.adobe.com/questions-652/adding-a-new-custom-guide-785586), which is not documentation. It is kept as a convenience pending the owner's decision, with no parity claim and nothing counted towards a score.

The filter combines with the search, the button is lit while a filter is on, and Clear All in its popup turns the filter off (`ui.layersFilter`). The filter lasts the session.

Subject: [PATCH 176/184] Variables: Lock Variables stops variables from being
 defined, deleted or renamed
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Nothing locked the variables: any command or panel button could delete
or rename a variable that scripts and data sets name.

variable.lock {locked?} (Lock Variables: a lock button in the Variables
panel's bottom bar and an item in its menu) sets a flag that is saved
with the document. Without `locked` it toggles, and a change is one
undo step. While the flag is set, variable.define, variable.delete,
variable.rename and the four variable.make…Dynamic commands are refused
with "variables are locked", and the panel disables New Variable…,
Variable Options…, Delete Variable and Make … Dynamic. Binding,
unbinding and the dataset commands still run. variable.list
reports `locked`. A file without the flag opens unlocked.

Subject: [PATCH 177/184] Part of #2345: a marquee does not select a clip group
 by its hidden art

A marquee measured a clip group, and the objects on a layer with a
clipping mask, by all of their art, including the art the mask hides.
A marquee around a rectangle drawn next to a clip group also selected
the group when it crossed the group's hidden art. A click already
counts only the art inside the clipping path.

The marquee now takes a clip group, or an object on a clipping layer
or sublayer, only when it meets the area inside the clipping path, and
it measures the art there within that area's bounds. The same rule
applies to the objects that Direct and Group Selection select whole,
to Group Selection's E marquee, and in isolation mode when the clip
group or clipping layer itself, or one object directly inside it, is
isolated. The anchor points that Direct Selection's marquee picks are
unchanged.

   - **Shaper:** uneven squares and rectangles become live rectangles even when drawing begins mid-edge. Recognition uses uniformly spaced samples and closed-loop corners, fits rectangle edges/angles rather than requiring a nearly perfect bounding-box fill, and includes the pointer-release position. Rectangles/squares and ellipses snap to 45° steps, hexagons to 90°, and triangles point up or down; lines keep their free angle even with Shift. Shaper Groups retain the live originals, merge regions with the gesture-origin fill, punch fills independently from strokes, remove boundaries on exiting scribbles and trim protruding stroke pieces. Source moves/resizes re-evaluate the result in the same undo step; double-click enters construction editing, and with the Shaper or Selection tool a click on the arrow widget beside a Shaper Group's original shapes switches the group between Face Selection and Construction mode. Native save/reopen, face recoloring, Release and Expand are covered. Finer gesture heuristics remain.
   - **Selection:** Selection, Direct/Group Selection, Magic Wand, Lasso. A Shift-drag marquee toggles what it reaches: objects with the Selection tool, anchors with Direct and Group Selection (#483); the Lasso adds with Shift and subtracts with Alt. Dragging a path segment with Direct Selection bends it when it's curved (its anchors stay) and moves its two anchors when it's straight, one undo step; the fill, Shift or Alt still pick the whole path (Alt-drag copies it).
     With the Selection or Group Selection tool, pressing E while dragging a marquee makes the marquee select only the objects that lie entirely inside it. Pressing E again switches the marquee back to its default selection.
+    A marquee selects a clip group, or an object on a layer with a clipping mask, only when it reaches the area inside the clipping path, and it measures the art only within that path's bounds. Within the bounds of a mask that is not a rectangle, it can still select art that the mask hides. Direct Selection's marquee still selects the hidden anchor points inside it (#2345).
     A key object needs another selected object outside it. A Shift-click or any other change that leaves one object selected clears the key, and `select.key` sets none on one object or on a group selected with only its own members. With one object selected, the Align panel, the Control bar and the Properties panel align it to the artboard whatever Align To is set to.
     With two or more objects selected and no key object, Align to Key Object makes the topmost of them the key, whatever order they were selected in, and the Align panel, the Control bar and the Properties panel align to it. Align To keeps its Selection or Artboard choice and shows it again once the key is cleared.
     Object › Align aligns objects as the align buttons do: it aligns one object to the active artboard whatever Align To is set to, and otherwise it aligns to the key object while there is one, else to the Align To choice, which is saved with the preferences (`ui.inspect` → `ui.align_to`). With direct-selected anchor points, Object › Align aligns the points to their own bounds. While one object is selected, Align To shows Artboard.

Subject: [PATCH 178/184] Guides: Lock Guides keeps guides deselected after
 Undo, Exit Isolation Mode and Paste

With View > Guides > Lock Guides on, Session::select drops the paths
made into guides from the selection (#1534), but commands that set the
selection another way skipped that filter and left a locked guide
selected, so the next move moved it. object.exitIsolation selected an
isolated guide path. Undo, Redo, a canceled undo group, a canceled
drag or dialog preview and a failed command.batch brought back locked
guide paths and ruler guides in the selection. Unlock All, Show All
and Paste selected the guide paths they unlocked, showed or pasted.
Locking the guides deselected them in the active document only.

The filter is now deselect_guides, which also clears the selected
ruler guides. Session::select and Session::edit run it while Lock
Guides is on, and so do object.exitIsolation, Undo, Redo,
Session::cancel_interaction, a canceled undo group and a failed batch.
Locking the guides deselects them in every open document. With Lock
Guides off, the selection is set as before.

Subject: [PATCH 179/184] Export: PDF, EPS, SVG, EMF, WMF and image exports
 warn about type that doesn't fit its frame

Print and Print Preview name the area type and type on a path that
prints without the text past the end of its frame (#2308). The exports
that draw type gave no such warning: a PDF, EPS, SVG, EMF, WMF or
raster export of a frame too small for its text answered with no
warning about it.

These exports now add the same warning, with "isn't drawn in the
export" in place of "doesn't print". Each export counts the visible
objects that it draws. Those are the objects on the pages or artboards
it writes, or all of them in an EPS of the visible art and in an SVG
without chosen artboards. A PDF leaves out layers that don't print
unless includeNonPrinting or createLayers is set. The objects are found
with the walk that fonts::printed_type runs for Print, and typecmd.rs
builds the message with the code that builds Print's. A .ai file keeps
the whole text in its editing data and gives no warning.

Docs: docs/mcp.md (Fitting area type), docs/target-app-parity.md.

   The Character panel's Small Caps, Superscript and Subscript buttons and the panel menu's items of the same names turn small caps and the superscript or subscript position on and off for the selected type, or for the text the Type tool has selected (`text.setFormat` or `text.setRangeStyle` `{smallCaps, position}`), in Document Setup's proportions. Turning Superscript on turns Subscript off, and turning Subscript on turns Superscript off. A button or item shows as on when the first selected character (at a caret, the character before it) has its attribute.
 - **Paragraph alignment:** the shared Paragraph/Properties alignment row leaves every button unselected when the paragraphs it acts on differ. Auto resolves per paragraph; choosing an alignment uses the existing command. Headless paragraph_mixed_alignment_* regressions exercise mixed → Center → Undo, caret/uniform states, Unicode range boundaries, Auto/direction, split runs and grouped text. These regressions and full integration CI pass. Original captures confirm mixed → Center → Undo in the existing alignment-button layout. The [public Paragraph panel guide](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/design-with-text/edit-format-text/paragraph-panel-overview.html) lists the seven controls, but does not specify mixed-state rendering. Other paragraph fields remain outside this change; scores and hours unchanged.
   For Auto Size area type in columns, the bisection for the frame's height runs on the lines of the one-column layout, and its result is checked with at most two layouts of the columns. When the text wraps around objects or does not fit the one-column layout, or when the check fails, the columns are laid out at every step of the bisection, as before. Typing at the start of a story of 50,000 characters in 2 columns took 1,670 ms a keystroke and now takes 292 ms (release build, `auto_height_in_columns_typing_timing`).
+  Exports to PDF, EPS, SVG, EMF, WMF and the raster formats warn about the area type and type on a path that they draw without the text that doesn't fit, and give their ids, as Print and Print Preview do.
   An edit copies a thread's story only when it changes one of the thread's frames: with a story of 50,000 characters threaded through 8 frames with a style change at every word, moving another object took 7.8 ms and now takes 0.013 ms, and a frame of a drag took 7.2 ms and now takes 0.012 ms (release build, `threaded_story_edit_timing`).
   Type › Optical Margin Alignment (`type.opticalMarginAlignment`) hangs the punctuation and letter edges at the ends of a type object's lines outside its margins: at the left of left-aligned lines, at the right of right-aligned lines, and at both ends of centered and justified lines, in point and area type of left-to-right paragraphs. Quotation marks, hyphens, full stops and commas hang wholly; asterisks, tildes, ellipses, en and em dashes, colons and semicolons hang by half; and A, V, W, Y, v, w and y hang by a tenth of their width. It is off by default and saved with the type object.
   The Paragraph panel menu's Hyphenation… (`ui.hyphenation`, `text.setFormat {wordsLongerThan, afterFirst, beforeLast, hyphenLimit, hyphenationZone, hyphenateCapitalized}`) sets each paragraph's hyphenation limits: the shortest word that breaks, the fewest letters on each side of the hyphen, the most hyphenated lines in a row, a zone at the right edge where the Single-line Composer breaks before a word instead of hyphenating it, and whether capitalized words break. The defaults are words longer than 5 letters, 3 letters on each side, no limit or zone, and capitalized words hyphenated; paragraph styles and the native file keep the options.

Subject: [PATCH 180/184] Artboards: Shift-click in the Artboards panel selects
 a range of artboards

With the Artboard tool in use, a Shift-click on a row of the Artboards
panel selects the artboards from the last row clicked without Shift to
the clicked row, and the clicked row's artboard becomes the active one.
When the artboard of the last row clicked without Shift is no longer
selected, the range starts from the active artboard, and later
Shift-clicks start from there too. Ctrl/Cmd-click still adds or removes
one artboard, and a plain click selects one. The public Select
artboards page lists Shift-click in the Artboards panel for selecting
several artboards.

A Shift-click used to add or remove one artboard, as Ctrl/Cmd-click
does (#1139).

   In Presentation Mode no key press other than ←, → and Escape runs a command or reaches the tool (tool keys, Delete, Enter, Tab, F, Shift+F and every command shortcut, the macOS menu bar's key equivalents included), a right click or a long touch opens no context menu, a tap of two or three fingers undoes or redoes nothing, and the pointer over the canvas is the default one instead of the tool's cursor.
   Align to Artboard uses the active artboard, the one the Artboards panel highlights (`object.align {artboard}`). A press with a selection tool inside an artboard makes that artboard active; with the Selection tool, a Shift-click on an empty spot inside an artboard makes it active and keeps the selection. One selected object is aligned to the active artboard too, whatever Align To says (a lone object is never the key object). When an action plays, its Align to Artboard, All on Active Artboard, Paste in Place, Paste in Front and Paste in Back steps that name no artboard use the artboard that is active then.
   Choosing the Artboard tool (Shift+O, its toolbar button, or Edit Artboards in Properties or Document Setup) starts it on the active artboard: the canvas outlines that artboard, and Delete, Cut, Copy, the Transform panel and Artboard Options act on it.
+  With the Artboard tool in use, a Shift-click on a row of the Artboards panel selects the artboards from the last row clicked without Shift to the clicked row, and the clicked row's artboard becomes the active one. When the artboard of the last row clicked without Shift is no longer selected, the range starts from the active artboard, and later Shift-clicks start from there too. A Ctrl/Cmd-click still adds or removes one artboard. A Shift-click used to add or remove one artboard as well. The public [Select artboards](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/create-manage-artboards/add-edit-artboards/select-artboards.html) page lists Shift-click in the Artboards panel for selecting several artboards.
   In the Artboards panel, a click on the active artboard's options icon, or a double-click on another row's icon, opens Artboard Options for that row's artboard, and the panel menu's Artboard Options… opens it for the active artboard (part of #1876). Both used to choose the Artboard tool instead. Opened while another tool is in use, the dialog moves the art with a new X or Y when the Artboard tool's Move Artwork with Artboard option is on.
   Alt-clicking New Artboard in the Artboards panel opens Artboard Options for the new artboard, and OK adds it and makes it the active artboard (`ui.newArtboard`; behavior reference: [Default keyboard shortcuts](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/default-keyboard-shortcuts.html), Use panels). A plain click still adds the artboard at once.
   With Align to Artboard chosen, the Align panel's Distribute Objects and Distribute Spacing buttons use the active artboard (`object.distribute` and `object.distributeSpacing` with `to: "artboard"` and `artboard`). The first object's left or top edge goes to the artboard's left or top edge, and the last object's right or bottom edge goes to the artboard's right or bottom edge. Distribute Objects spaces the other objects evenly by its button's line, and two objects are enough. Distribute Spacing makes the gaps between the objects equal. With anchor points selected, the buttons space the points among themselves and do not use the artboard. When an action plays, its Distribute Objects and Distribute Spacing steps with Align to Artboard use the artboard that is active then.

Subject: [PATCH 181/184] Background save: dropped Puppet Warp pins, ended Edit
 Text and font scans leave the document saved

Selecting other art drops Puppet Warp pins, ending Edit Text clears the
flat view, and a font scan lays type out again. None of these makes an
undo step or counts as an edit to save, but each one replaced the
document. A background save that finished afterwards compared the
document with the one it wrote by pointer, so the document stayed
marked modified. Data Recovery also wrote a new copy of a document whose
pins had been dropped.

DocState now records the documents that these changes replaced, and
DocState::same_content counts them as having the same content. The
modified flag, the end of a background save and Data Recovery use it.
After Edit Text ends, an undo state that was the saved one stays the
saved one.

Subject: [PATCH 183/184] i18n: the History panel translates the undo step
 names the sources write as literals

The History panel looked up each step's name with tl!, which reads only
a plain catalog row. 95 of the 427 names that the engine, the tools and
the shell give their undo steps had no such row in at least one complete
catalog, and 83 had no row at all (Make Blend, New Guide, Pen, Reshape
Spine and others). A step named after an effect has the effect's menu
name without its ellipsis. For many effects, and for steps such as New
Layer, the catalogs hold that name only with the ellipsis. The panel
listed those steps in English.

Each complete catalog now has a row for every step name, written in the
catalog's own terms: 1,437 rows in the 19 catalogs. The History panel
reads a step's row, or else the row of the same name with an ellipsis,
without the ellipsis, and shows the name as recorded when the catalog
has neither. A new test reads the step names from the sources, as the
tl! and message tests read theirs, and requires a row for each in every
complete catalog.

   - The dock's double arrow collapses Properties, Layers and Libraries to icons at the top of the icon column, popping out like the other icon panels, and expands them again (`window.collapseDock`, kept with the preferences and in saved workspaces). The icon column's own arrow (expanding the icon panels into a full column) is not done.
   - Czech render-site labels: desktop/web file filters, diagnostics, suggested preset names and contributor tooltips/plurals now use catalog lookups; gradients have Czech adjective agreement and printer marks have a separate context (PDF/Print and Summary). Search, Home, toolbar/panel tooltips and Preferences already look up their labels. Every complete catalog has rows for these labels and for the Roman and Japanese printer mark styles. Evidence: `i18n::tests::czech_render_site_follow_up`, `i18n::tests::complete_catalogs_translate_render_site_labels`, `dialogs::tests_modal::printer_mark_labels_are_distinct_from_language_names`; see [localization-parity.md](localization-parity.md).
   - Localised UI: menus (in-window and native), panels, dialogs, toolbar and Preferences read from per-language catalogs (`crates/ui-egui/src/i18n`, see `docs/development.md`); Traditional Chinese (Taiwan), Simplified Chinese (mainland), Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian and Ukrainian ship complete, and Czech covers every menu label (and more), with system-locale detection on macOS, Windows, Linux and the web (the browser's languages, or `?lang=`), a Language preference and, on macOS, a VectorCraft ▸ Language menu. Names are never translated (fonts and their styles, layers, artboards, saved presets, user libraries, custom workspaces, recent files, plug-ins).
+  - The History panel translates the undo step names the engine, the tools and the shell write as literals: each has a row in every complete catalog (`every_undo_label_is_translated`), and a step whose catalog row exists only with an ellipsis (such as an effect's menu name) shows that row without the ellipsis.
   - Native macOS menu bar, vector tool cursors, a ⌘K command palette, middle-button panning with any tool. Native menus explicitly end tracking on command selection, outside window presses and Escape; menu updates wait until tracking ends, and a dismissing press never starts a canvas gesture (M14.8).
   - The errors of the blend spine commands (Move Spine Point, Reshape Spine Segment, Add Spine Point and Delete Spine Point) show in the status bar in the interface language: each has a row in every catalog that translates all status and error messages and in Bulgarian (`blend_spine_param_errors_are_translated`).
   - The macOS menu bar is built from the in-window menus (one model, `native_menu`) and laid out as a Mac app's: the VectorCraft menu holds About, Settings ▸ (each Preferences page, General… ⌘K), Language ▸, Appearance ▸ (UI brightness), Services, Hide VectorCraft ⌃⌘H (⌘H stays Hide Edges), Hide Others, Show All and Quit; Window gains Minimize ⌃⌘M, Zoom and Bring All to Front, and Help the system's search field. Its key equivalents go back to egui as key presses, so user shortcuts, focused text fields and the Type tool's input method behave as in the window, and nothing fires twice; enabled, check marks and labels update in place. `--in-window-menus` or `VECTORCRAFT_IN_WINDOW_MENUS=1` keeps the menus in the window; `ui.inspect` reports `nativeMenuBar`.
