Laser and cutter software skips HATCH entities, so shapes that were only
filled (type, traced art) reached it as nothing. Each filled area is now
written as its outlines (polylines and splines, in the fill's colour)
followed by the solid hatch; R12 keeps writing the outlines alone.

A PDF or PDF-compatible .ai whose ToUnicode map gives some glyphs U+FFFD (as
some files do for the digits of an embedded CID font) imported those glyphs as
type showing the replacement character, so every digit came in as "�".
U+FFFD now counts as no mapping. Such a glyph takes its character from the
embedded font where it can (Adobe's CID tables for CID-keyed CFF, as before,
then the font program's own cmap), and otherwise keeps its outline from the
embedded font, so it looks as the file draws it. The import warns which font
had characters the file doesn't name.

New from Template... and Save as Template opened their dialog in
~/Documents/VectorCraft Templates. On desktops whose documents folder has
another name (Italian ~/Documenti) or where the folder was never made, the
dialog started in a folder that doesn't exist and showed an error.
- The default Templates folder is now in the user's documents folder: on Linux
and the BSDs the one XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR names in user-dirs.dirs, elsewhere
~/Documents.
- The folder a dialog starts in is made when missing; where it can't be, the
dialog starts in the nearest folder above it that exists, else home.

A program that re-encodes a font in an EPS sets the copy under a name with a
`*<n>` suffix (`KBKNNM+RollerBabyBV*1`). The suffix was part of the family
name, so the installed font was never found and text fell back to a
substitute. The suffix is dropped when `*` is followed only by digits.

The rotate cursor drew an arc with a large triangle under each end, both
pointing straight down and away from the arc, so it didn't read as an arrow.
Each end now has a slim arrowhead pointing on along the arc's tangent, with
the same halo as the other cursors.

A fourth Image Trace mode for flat-colour logos. The existing tracer follows hard pixel
edges, so an outline can only be as good as the pixel grid; here each pixel is read as a
blend of the logo's flat colours, the blend is interpolated smoothly (cubic B-spline), and
every outline is placed where two colours are equally present, to a fraction of a pixel.
Outlines are then cleaned the way a person would:
- corners the blur rounded are put back (line fits either side of a bend, intersected);
- near-straight runs and near-circular arcs become exact lines and arcs (Snap Curves To Lines);
- the rest is fitted with as few cubic Beziers as the tolerance allows (Schneider);
- touching colours overlap by 0.06 px so no hairline gap opens between independent fits;
- shapes are painted biggest first; transparent areas fully enclosed by artwork (letters
knocked out of a badge, the counters of an "o") are painted white so the logo reads the
same on any background, or become real holes with Ignore White (each hole belongs to the
smallest outline containing it);
- an outline whose fit strays more than 1.4 px from the raw contour is fitted plainly.
Colours are found automatically (and completed from pixels no blend of the known colours
explains, so a small accent is not lost) or named with `logoColors: ["#rrggbb", ...]` (white is
always its own class; colours closer than 12 count as one; at most ten). Gradients and photos
are refused with advice to use Color (a flat-colour score of the solid areas, 0.93). A
hard-edged source with no anti-aliasing is softened by under a pixel and fitted with looser
snap tolerances. Images over 1024 px on the long side are averaged down first (further, if
they are busy enough to make the unmixing expensive) and the result is mapped back exactly.
More real outlines than we will fit are refused, not silently truncated.
Also: a "Flat Logo" preset, the mode in the Image Trace panel (Method hidden: it always
stacks), the command docs and MCP prompt, es/fr/it/ru translations for the two new messages
and the mode name, and the ROADMAP.
Never-crash: no unwrap/expect/panic, every size and float is bounded and checked, with
tests for degenerate and extreme input (NaN/infinite parameters, 0x0 and 1x1 images, sparse
outlines, an anchor budget, a 200,000-entry palette) and a 250-run randomised no-panic
property test. The B-spline interpolation follows Unser et al. and Thevenaz et al., and the
curve fitter follows Schneider (Graphics Gems); both are written from the papers.
Measured (local experiment, not in CI): a flat-colour logo's vector original rendered down
to a soft 199x100 px PNG and traced. Mean edge error vs the original at 1600 px wide:
built-in colour presets 2.5 to 3.4 px, Flat Logo 0.78 px (0.48 px from a crisp source);
region overlap 0.88-0.91 vs 0.966. About 0.1 s for a 200 px logo.
Tests: 60 new in the trace crate (unmix, field, contours, geometry, Beziers, corners,
outline fitting, palette, end-to-end on synthetic shapes made in code) and 3 in the engine.
cargo xtask ci passes (fmt, clippy, test, assets, brands, layers, wasm): 4,290 tests.

The Transform fields were sized from the row's room, the rotation field was
70 pt, the corner radius 80, Opacity 64, the stroke weight 90 and Keyboard
Increment 80, so the fields didn't line up. One `panels::field_width`, the
Transform fields' width measured from the full row, now sizes all of them (and
the Edit Artboards fields, and the Transform panel's corner radius).

Opening a PDF-compatible .ai (or a PDF saved with Preserve Editing) that has more than one
page showed the Import PDF dialog and imported pages, although the file carries its
VectorCraft document. Opening now restores that document (every artboard and layer) without
asking, as the engine already does when no pages are picked. Placing still asks for the page.

The Shaper fits a hexagon's rotation by scoring 0, 90, 180 and 270
degrees, but a hexagon at 180 is the one at 0 (and 270 the one at 90):
those pairs score the same up to rounding, so the platform's atan2 picked
between them. FreeBSD's libm gave 270 where Linux gives 90, failing
tilted_rectangles_ellipses_and_hexagons_snap_to_their_angle_steps on the
FreeBSD build+test job. Candidates a whole number of periods from an
earlier one are now dropped. A new test reproduces the flip on Linux
with the old code (180 instead of 0 at tilt -9).

- A press with a selection tool inside an artboard makes it the active one, as
the Artboard tool's does; before, only the navigator and the Artboards panel
changed it.
- Paste in Place, in Front and in Back take `artboard` (the UI passes the active
one): the objects go where they were on the artboard they were copied from,
on that artboard. Without it, they paste where they were, as before.

Windows shows a window's big icon (ICON_BIG) in the taskbar and Alt+Tab.
eframe sets only the window icon (the small one, in the title bar), so the
taskbar showed a generic window instead of VectorCraft's icon. The app now sets
the big icon from the same 256 px image when the window is created.

Cmd+, is how every Mac app opens its settings. It now opens Preferences on

The toolbar names its tool groups (Select, Shapes, Draw, Modify...). A new
preference, on by default, turns the names off for a cleaner toolbar: a faint
dash then separates the groups.

Document tabs drew their close box before the title on every platform, the
macOS convention. On Windows, Linux and the web it now comes after the title,
as those platforms' tabs (and Adobe's own apps there) put it; macOS keeps it
before.

- artboard.rearrange takes layout (gridByRow, gridByColumn, row, column;
byColumn stays as an alias of gridByColumn) and order (leftToRight,
rightToLeft); Columns is the row count of a grid by column and is
ignored by row and column. It returns {artboards, rows, columns}.
- A Rearrange All Artboards dialog: Layout and Layout Order toggles drawn
in code (widgets::layout_button, previewing the order), Columns/Rows,
Spacing, Move Artwork with Artboard and the artboard count.
- One click: Rearrange All in the Properties panel (Document section with
several artboards, Edit Artboards' Quick Actions); the Artboards panel's
Rearrange button and menu item now open the dialog too.
- Tests for every layout x order (artboards, art riding along, one undo
step), the dialog, the Properties button; the command sweep covers the
new params. Translations for ja, es, it, ru, fr, zh-hans, zh-hant and
pt-br; ROADMAP updated.

The crate README now spells out the provenance the review on
storytold/vectorcraft#667 asks the owner to decide on: no Affinity
software; afread's MIT description re-described without translating
code; every structure confirmed on public files (CRC-32 per entry,
self-typed fields); semantics fitted to Affinity's own thumbnails; how
the sample documents were licensed; read-only.

VectorCraft found fonts only in the system's font folders (and, on Windows,
those font services activate). A new preference names one more folder, read
with its subfolders after the platform's: its fonts are listed in the font
menus and used as if installed, without installing them.
- vectorcraft_text::set_user_font_dirs / user_font_dirs: folders
system_font_dirs adds to every scan (none on wasm).
- prefs fontsFolder (Type > Options > Additional Fonts Folder), trimmed; when
it changes after the first scan, the fonts are scanned again at once, so the
folder's fonts appear (or go) and type in them lays out again.
- The label is translated where Additional Plug-ins Folder is.

#677 lets one image decode take up to 2 GB, so large print sheets open on the
desktop. wasm32 can address only 4 GB and aborts when an allocation fails, so
the web app keeps the decoder's default 512 MB and reports larger images as an
error instead.
