Commands that read the selection through edit::selected_roots leave
out an object whose group is also selected (edit::roots_of). Fourteen
places that read `ids` kept an object listed together with its group.
Given ids that list an object and a group that holds it, Make Repeat
failed with "no such object", New Symbol failed or stored the object
twice in the symbol, and object.transform moved it twice (20 pt for a
10 pt move).
These places now pass explicit ids through edit::outermost, which
drops an id whose ancestor is also listed, with the filter that
roots_of runs on the selection (now edit::without_inner). Nothing else
is dropped or replaced: unlike roots_of, it keeps layers and
compound-path members. A list without nesting gives the same result as
before. Commands that take both ids and the selection as listed, such
as paint.setFill without item, are unchanged.

Offset Path, Outline Stroke, the Pathfinder panel, Clean Up, Make
Blend, Rasterize and the other commands that #1429's table marks 3,
except Split Into Grid, added, removed or replaced their objects one at
a time, and so did Remove Anchor Points, Redefine Symbol and the
removal of Shaper groups whose source art is gone. Each insertion or
removal moved the later objects of the layer or group. The lookups by
id that followed walked the tree, and every fourth walk rebuilt the
lookup cache. On 25,000 rectangles a release build of vectorcraft-cli
took 29.1 s for Offset Path.
These commands now make their edits with Document::wrap,
Document::insert_beside and Document::remove_many, in one pass over the
children of each layer or group, and Outline Stroke and Expand write
each new object into the place of the object it replaces. A list that
holds an object twice, or an object and another inside it, and that was
edited without an error before, is still edited one object at a time.
The documents, selections and undo steps are the same. On the same
rectangles Offset Path now takes 1.3 s.
Docs: docs/target-app-parity.md.
Rarely set fields move into one optional boxed NodeExtras, and large NodeKind payloads (images,
live shapes, blends, envelopes) are boxed. Every object, and every undo step that copies it,
shrinks: a 50k-path move keeps ~24.5 MB per step instead of ~40 MB. Files stay byte-identical
(Node keeps its flat JSON through a borrowed Serialize and a from-wire Deserialize, no flatten),
and loading is slightly faster. Undo and redo reuse their step's size estimate instead of
walking the document again (8.3 -> 5.6 ms for a 50k-path move).

Disable, Enable, Unlink and Link Opacity Mask and Opacity Mask Options
(transparency.setOpacityMask) edited the document whenever a target
had an opacity mask, even when every mask already had the flags the
call set. Such a call recorded an undo step, emptied Redo and marked
the document modified.
When every mask a call acts on has those flags already, the call now
returns without editing the document, whether it acts on the
selection, on id or ids, or on the object whose mask is being edited.
The reply is still null, and the journal still records the call. A
call that changes a flag on any of the masks is still one undo step.
One line in the evidence list of docs/target-app-parity.md names the
commands.
Clicking a Layers panel target circle runs `layer.target {id}`: a layer gets its art
selected and becomes the target (`Selection.target`) of the appearance, effect,
transparency and opacity-mask commands, which then edit the layer itself; the
Appearance panel lists it. Dragging a circle onto another runs
`appearance.transfer {source, target, copy?}` (Alt copies), dropping it on the trash
clears it. Filled dots also mark groups and layers with fills of their own, masked
objects get a dashed underline, and while an opacity mask is edited the panel lists
only an `<Opacity Mask>` entry and the tab says so.

New Document.page_isolate / page_knockout, set by
transparency.togglePageIsolatedBlending / togglePageKnockoutGroup {value?}
(one undo step each, saved with the document, reported by
transparency.info) and the Transparency panel menu's check items. The page
renders as an isolated group (top-level blend modes no longer blend with
what lies under the page) and/or a knockout group whose elements are the
layers (neutral layers pass their objects through). PDF and SVG wrap the
page content in an isolated group and write page knockout as soft masks.

New Node.knockout_shape (transparency.set / object.setProps knockoutShape,
reported by transparency.info). In a knockout group such an object knocks
out only as much as its opacity and mask let through (a 50% object knocks
out 50%); otherwise its full coverage knocks out. The renderer, PDF and
SVG masks honour it, and the panel's checkbox is now live.

Knockout Group is now Knockout {Neutral, Off, On} (old files' true loads as
On, false as Neutral). In a knockout group each child erases what the
children below it drew where it paints, then adds itself, so it composites
against the group's backdrop; neutral plain groups pass their children
through to the enclosing knockout group. transparency.set / object.setProps
take knockout "on"|"off"|"neutral"|bool; transparency.info reports the
state. PDF and SVG write knockout groups as nested soft masks with the same
look (PDF warns); the Transparency panel has a tri-state checkbox.

While a mask is edited, the Transparency panel and its commands act on the
masked object (Release leaves editing first). Mask commands and
transparency.set take ids and work without a selection; Make Opacity Mask
with one object adds an empty mask and enters editing. Opacity is 0..100 in
every command. transparency.info reports the panel's values with null for
mixed ones, shown blank. Saves and exports never include the editing layer
(Document::without_edit_modes; mask_edit is not serialized).
