Cursors: 36 more tool states get cursors of their own, listed in cursors.toml

Node editing as the public manual describes it: Direct Selection's anchor squares (hollow
or filled), Reshape Segment over a curved segment, Group Selection's plus (also Direct
Selection with Alt), the arrow hollow while a drag snaps, and Alt-copy arrowheads. The
Anchor Point caret, the Curvature pen and Free Transform's side-shear arrows (ShearH,
ShearV) are drawn in code. Lasso, the freehand, symbolism and other tools return cursors
of their own that borrow their old look until drawn (Cursor::stand_in).

crates/tools/src/cursors.toml lists every Cursor value, when it shows and its hotspot,
for whoever draws them; `cargo xtask cursors` (in ci) warns about a missing, unknown,
repeated or incomplete entry and never fails. The busy cursor is listed as missing (G1).

+`crates/tools/src/cursors.toml` lists every `Cursor` value: when it shows, in plain behaviour terms, and where its hotspot is, so whoever draws the cursors knows what each one is for without reading the tools (CLAUDE.md › Adding a cursor). `cargo xtask cursors` (part of `cargo xtask ci`) warns about a `Cursor` value with no entry, an entry with no `Cursor` value, a repeated id or a missing field; it never fails the build. A cursor not drawn yet borrows another's look (`Cursor::stand_in`).

 ## Vendor names gate
 
 `cargo xtask brands` (part of `cargo xtask ci`) fails when user-visible text names another vendor's products or company: string literals in Rust sources (command labels and params docs, menus, panels, MCP tool definitions), `Cargo.toml` descriptions and packaging files. Comments and test code are not checked. Say "the reference app" or name the feature itself. A line that must keep an old name, such as an alias that files or preferences from earlier versions still use, carries a `brand-ok` comment.

 - **Done (#1251):** Eyedropper source reads are independent of locks and isolation, including Shift/Shift+Alt and gradient stops. Source and selection preservation, unchanged Alt reverse/selection restrictions, hidden art and Undo/Redo have regression coverage. This addresses the reported behavior, with no new full-parity measurement.

+- **Missing:** a busy cursor while a long operation runs (a big file opening, a heavy effect): VectorCraft has no busy state to show it yet. Once it has one, its `Cursor` value goes in the cursor list (`crates/tools/src/cursors.toml`).
 - **Missing:** Average and Join in one step, with a corner or smooth choice for the joined anchor. `path.average` and `path.join` are separate commands and Join has no such choice (coinciding anchors merge into one since #1533).

Focused checks passed and original captures were reviewed; optional Properties integration and remembered defaults remain outside this change.

   When the desktop app opens a document on a thread of its own (#1245), that thread also reads the document's linked files and lays out its type, and the UI thread only adds the finished document: in release builds, the step left on the UI thread takes 0.02 ms instead of 1.04 s for a document with 12 linked 3000 × 2000 TIFFs, and it takes 0.1 ms instead of 0.85 s for one with 300 Auto Size area type objects, every second one in three columns.
   The Layers panel's Delete Selection, Duplicate Selection, Collect in New Layer, Merge Selected, Flatten Artwork, Release to Layers (Sequence) and row drags also take time in proportion to the size of the document, and so do Cut Artboard and Duplicate Artboard with their art and each move of an Alt-drag of one artboard with the Artboard tool while Move/Copy Artwork with Artboard is on (#1429).
   In Outline view the renderer draws paths and compound paths from the geometry it keeps for them between frames, and it culls the members of clip groups by the bounds it keeps for them. Layers with Preview off and the outlines of Image Trace objects are drawn the same way.

Tool states have cursors of their own as the public manual describes them: Direct Selection shows a hollow or filled square on its white arrow over an anchor (path unselected or selected) and the Reshape Segment cursor over a curved segment, as do the Anchor Point tool and the Pen with Alt (whose caret it lends); Group Selection, and Direct Selection with Alt, show a plus; a drag shows the filled arrow, hollow while it snaps to a point or a guide, and an Alt-drag copy a double arrowhead; Curvature has its own pen and Free Transform's Cmd/Ctrl side-shear two arrows passing along the side. Lasso, Magic Wand, the freehand tools, Shaper, Live Paint Bucket, Measure, Print Tiling, the symbolism tools, vertical type, Scissors, Mesh and Puppet Warp return cursors of their own, which borrow the crosshair, the I-beam, the Pen's add cursor or not-allowed until they're drawn; there's no busy cursor yet. `crates/tools/src/cursors.toml` lists every cursor, when it shows and its hotspot, for whoever draws them.

 - **Control transport:** idle sockets expire after 5 minutes, partial lines after an absolute 30 seconds from their first byte, and reply writes after 60 seconds (#1726). Real TCP regressions cover stalled peers and slot recovery; command execution has its separate existing timeout. MCP limits: 16 MiB lines, 64-message batches, 256-step `command_batch` with 8 MiB of kept results and 256 MiB control replies (#1764, fixes #1727). MCP requires the JSON-RPC 2.0 envelope and matches control replies by id, and an app refusal without an id reports the app's reason (#1768, fixes #1728). The MCP server reconnects to the app before a call when the connection was closed or holds stray bytes, after an app restart or an idle expiry (#1739).
 - **MCP vertical type:** `add_text {vertical: true}` forwards to `text.create` or `text.createInPath`. Regression coverage checks point type, rectangular area type, type in a path and type on a path with true, false and omitted direction. This exposes an existing engine option; it does not change glyph orientation, CJK composition or the type/automation scores.
 - **Malformed MCP replies:** invalid JSON from the app drops the connection, reports that the operation may have completed and leaves the next call to reconnect; it never replays the edit (#1761). TCP regressions cover malformed and uncorrelated replies, connection closure and a subsequent inspection. Envelope regressions also verify zero backend calls and unchanged initialization state for invalid versions.
