Art linked to a global swatch of the group that recolor.apply rewrites stays
linked when the swatch takes its row's new color: it shows that color at its
tint, and a later swatch.edit still reaches it. Before, the art took the new
color unlinked. With group, the reply adds relinked, the count of other linked
paints that followed the group's new colors.
object.transformEach refused reflectX, reflectY, random and copy given
as text, but read strokes, corners, objects and patterns given as text
as the key left out. With Scale Strokes & Effects on,
{"scaleH": 200, "scaleV": 200, "strokes": "false"} scaled the stroke,
recorded an undo step and kept the params for Transform Again, which
repeated the call. artboard.rearrange, artboard.move and
artboard.duplicate read their patterns option the same way, and
artboard.setProps reads its patterns, strokes and corners options the
same way.
These commands now refuse such a value with "`<key>` must be true or
false" before they change anything. So do the other options and
numbers of artboard.setProps and artboard.move, the art of Duplicate,
Copy and Cut Artboard, the shape commands and path.create, path.close,
path.setHandle, path.moveAnchors, the Pencil, Curvature, Reshape
Segment and Blob Brush options, text.create, text.createInPath,
text.setRangeStyle, text.editRange, text.getRange, text.touchType,
text.areaOptions, type.step, the font size steps,
type.opticalMarginAlignment, type.systemLayout, type.fractionalWidths,
type.ruby, the symbol and swatch commands, the Appearance panel's
commands, the gradient and freeform gradient commands, Shape Builder,
Live Paint, Image Trace, the opacity of object.setProps, the radius,
sides and relativeRadii of object.setLiveShape, the reference point of
object.setBounds and the artboard of Align, Distribute and Distribute
Spacing. They refuse a number given as text with "`<key>` must be a
number, not <value>", and a gradient stop's tint with "stop <n>:
`tint` must be a number". A null still reads as the key left out.

The reference app reorders a brush that is dragged to a new place in
its Brushes panel, among the brushes of its type only. VectorCraft's
Brushes panel could not reorder brushes, and no command moved one.
brush.move {name | names, to?, type?} moves brushes to index to among
the brushes of their type, in brush.list order, as one undo step. A
move that keeps the order records no step. Brushes of different types,
or a type other than theirs, are refused with "brushes move only within
their type". In the Brushes panel, a brush dragged onto another brush
of its type goes before or after it by the half of the tile or row
under the pointer, and a bar marks the slot while it is held there. A
brush dropped on a brush of another type stays where it is, and the
status bar shows the refusal.

In a CMYK document, paint.setFill stores an RGB color as CMYK through
the color settings, but the other commands that take a color stored it
as RGB: text.create, text.createInPath, text.setStyle and
text.setRangeStyle colors, a shapeBuilder.merge hex fill,
paint.editGradient stops, freeform gradient points, gradient mesh
points, the Symbol Stainer's color, and swatch.new {colors},
swatch.newGroup, swatch.editGroup and swatch.edit. The Mesh tool sent
the fill as a hex value, so a CMYK fill came in as RGB.
These commands now store such a color through paint::new_color, as
paint.setFill does, and take keepModel to keep RGB (shapeBuilder.merge
inside its fill object). A color the swatch
or gradient already has keeps its model, so stops sent back with a
moved offset keep their colors (the Gradient panel's ramp and the
Gradient tool send keepModel), and a stop that names a process
swatch takes the swatch's color as it is, in paint.setFill gradients
too. Where the app copies an existing color, it keeps the color's
model: the Color panel's sliders for gradient stops and freeform
points, a swatch put on a stop or a point (the stop popover, Alt-click
in the Swatches panel, a drop on the Gradient panel's ramp), the fill
the Mesh tool gives a new point or the Symbol Stainer applies, and the
colors the Color Guide, Color Themes and Recolor Artwork save as
swatches.
swatch.new {color, mode} converted RGB into CMYK before converting it
into mode, so the New Swatch dialog in RGB mode stored #00ff00 as
R101 G176 B62 in a CMYK document. With mode, the color is now
converted once.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
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.

Double-clicking a colour group's folder in the Swatches panel, or the options
button (Edit or Apply Color Group) while a group is selected, opens Recolor
Artwork on the group: without art the rows are the group's colours and OK
rewrites the group; with art selected the art is reduced to the group's size,
takes its colours, and art and group change in one undo step. New
swatch.editGroup {group, colors, rename?} rewrites a group in order (art linked
to its global swatches follows); recolor.apply takes group, groupColors and
rename.

Colours gain a CIE Lab model (`Color::Lab {l,a,b}`, serde tag `lab`), handled through the
CMS (display, separation, conversions, gamut), tints (toward paper white), keep_model, harmonies,
recolouring, blends, Info and the Color panel. Swatch Options gets a Lab mode
(`swatch.edit {mode: "lab"}` / `{color: {l,a,b}}`), and colour params accept `{l,a,b}`.
Swatches panel → Spot Colors… (`ui.spotColors`, dialog `spotColors`) runs `swatch.spotOptions
{useLab}` (Document.spot_use_lab, default on): Lab spot colours show and separate from their Lab
values, or art linked to them takes their working-CMYK equivalents, as one undo step. PDF export
writes Lab spot inks as Separation spaces with a Lab alternate (tint function from paper white),
or a DeviceCMYK one with CMYK equivalents.

[Registration] is a built-in swatch that prints 100% on every plate: Separations
Preview shows it on each process and spot plate and PDF export writes it as
/Separation /All. It can't be edited, moved, duplicated, merged or deleted;
swatch.list shows it after None and the Swatches panel applies it as a swatch.
Object > Create Trim Marks strokes the marks in Registration and marks every
artboard when nothing is selected ({style?, allArtboards?}). The preference
japaneseCropMarks (General) switches to Japanese marks: double lines at the
trim and bleed edges plus centre marks. Effect > Crop Marks (cropMarks) is a
live effect whose marks follow the object; rendering, SVG/PDF export and
Expand Appearance draw them. The mark geometry lives in doc::marks.

A colour linked to a global or spot swatch keeps a tint (Paint::Solid.tint, 1 by default and
left out of files at 100 %): paint.setFill/setStroke {swatch, tint} apply the swatch at that
percentage, swatch edits recolour every linked colour at its own tint, and Color::tinted
resolves it (CMYK and Gray inks scale, RGB mixes toward white). swatch.new saves a tint as a
tint swatch ("Ink 40%") linked to its base. Spot tints separate as that percentage of their
plate (Separations Preview, PDF Separation value) instead of an ink-ratio guess. Adjust Color
Balance's Global mode (tint) shifts the tints of linked colours. The Color panel shows Tint
mode (the swatch chip, its name and a T slider) for linked colours; the Swatches panel
highlights the tint swatch in use. Gradient stops get the same link and tint fields (the
swatch walks cover them), so GradientStop is no longer Copy.

Window > Swatch Libraries > Gradients lists five generated gradient
libraries (Spectrum, Sky, Neutral incl. fades to transparent, Duotone,
Radial Glows); the library panel's menu lists them too.
Swatch Options on a gradient swatch shows its name and the gradient; OK
renames it. Alt-dropping an edited gradient (or a colour) on a swatch of its
kind in the Swatches panel replaces it, via swatch.edit {paint}.

Window > Swatch Libraries and the Swatches panel's library button open a
read-only, floating library panel (thumbnail and list views, find field,
libraries menu, previous/next arrows). Clicking a swatch adds it to the
document and applies it as one undo step; Shift/Cmd-clicks select swatches
and groups for Add to Swatches. Default Swatches restores missing defaults.
Libraries are computed in code (OKLCH, rounded to 8-bit sRGB): Web Safe 216,
Grays and Neutrals, Earth Tones, Skin Tone Ramps, Pastels, Brights,
Metallic Gradients, Perceptual Scales, Harmony Sets.
Commands: swatch.library.list, swatch.library.get, swatch.library.add
{library, names?, apply?, focus?}, swatch.resetDefaults {replace?};
UI command window.swatchLibrary {library}.

The harmony rules (Complementary 1/2, Split Complementary, Left/Right Complement, Analogous 1/2,
Monochromatic, Shades, Triad 1-3, Tetrad 1-3, Compound 1/2, High Contrast 1-3, Pentagram) live in
the color crate with our own math, base colour first. The variation grid moves there too
(`harmony::Guide`): a row per harmony colour with the colour in the centre column, shades/cool/muted
to the left and tints/warm/vivid to the right, 1-20 steps and a variation amount.
- `color.harmony {color, rule, steps?, variation?, amount?}` query returns {rule, colors, grid}.
- The panel keeps its base colour until "Set base color" takes the current one; Shift/Cmd-click
selects several cells and Save Colors as Swatches saves them (`swatch.new {colors}`, one step).
- Color Guide Options dialog (`ui.colorGuideOptions`, kind `colorGuideOptions`) with a preview row;
the options persist in `UiState::color_guide`.

New commands: swatch.addUsedColors {selection?, global?} adds a swatch for
each colour the art uses that no solid swatch has (optionally global, the
art linking to them); swatch.unused lists the swatches nothing uses (links,
colours, gradients and patterns in art, symbols, pattern tiles and graphic
styles count); swatch.merge keeps the first colour and relinks the others'
art; swatch.ungroup and swatch.sortByKind (process, spot, gradients,
patterns). Each edit is one undo step; the panel menu items are enabled.
Document::visit_paints walks every paint of a document.

Clicking a colour group's folder selects the whole group. Show Find Field
filters the panel by name. Tiles and list rows drag to reorder swatches,
move them into or out of colour groups or reorder groups (new command
swatch.move, one undo step); swatches and Fill/Stroke proxies dropped on
art paint the object under the pointer (paint.setFill/setStroke with its
id), and a proxy dropped on the panel becomes a swatch. List rows show
kind and colour-mode icons and take double-clicks; spot colours get a dot
in the grid. The search field widget is shared with the Layers panel.

No behaviour change: every command keeps its id, label, menu, shortcut and
params doc.
- Engine: swatch.* -> cmd/swatch.rs, graphicStyle.* -> cmd/style.rs,
appearance.* (incl. copyFrom) -> cmd/appearance.rs, stroke.set/setAdvanced
-> cmd/stroke.rs, paint.editGradient/setGradientGeom -> cmd/gradient.rs.
Shared helpers in cmd/mod.rs: leaf_targets/paint_targets (replacing three
copies) and unique_name (swatch and graphic style naming).
- UI: dialogs.rs -> dialogs/ with one file per dialog and a DialogSpec
registry (one DialogKind row per dialog); shared field widgets in
dialogs/form.rs. Headless frame tests draw and confirm every dialog.
