egui's combo box puts its own scroll area around a combo's list, so the
font menu, which scrolls its families itself, had two scrollbars: once
the families reached their end the wheel scrolled the outer one, taking
the search field and the filters out of view.
The font menu (widgets::combo with searchable) now opens its list in a
popup of its own, drawn like the combo box, without that outer scroll
area: below the button, or above it when there is more room there. The
families list fills the popup's room under the search field and filters,
which stay at the top while the list scrolls.

The Control bar's underlined Transform link opens the Transform panel as a
popover under it (reference point, X/Y/W/H, Rotate and Shear with their icons
and angle presets, flips, shape properties, Scale Corners, Scale Strokes &
Effects), as the Stroke link does the Stroke panel. X/Y/W/H stay inline while
the bar has room.
The reference point locator is now nine squares with the outer eight joined
around the box; the old outline was inset off the squares' centres.

Nothing could be undocked: the dock's tabs only switched panels, the icon
column only popped its panels out next to it, and only tool flyouts
(#437) could float.
- A dock tab, a panel icon or a popped-out panel's title dragged out of
the dock floats that panel inside the app window; the strip right of
the dock's tabs floats the whole Properties | Layers | Libraries group.
- A floating group moves by its title bar (or the strip right of its
tabs); a tab dragged out of it floats on its own; 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 in the dock (tabbed group or icon column). Its x does the same.
- The Tools panel floats by its title bar or grip and docks again on the
window's left edge, which lights up the same way.
- window.panel.float {panel, x?, y?, onto?, group?} and window.panel.dock
{panel, group?} (panel "tools" for the Tools panel) for the control
channel and MCP; every panel menu ends with Float Panel / Dock Panel;
window.panel on a floating panel shows its tab.
- Floating groups and the Tools panel's position are kept with the
preferences and in user workspaces (built-ins dock everything),
sanitized on load, and clamped into a smaller window when drawn.
- One move state in egui temp memory drives every drag, so a tab torn off
keeps following the pointer; per frame the work is a lookup per panel.
- Icon buttons can be drawn for a caller's response (paint_icon_button),
so the column's icons keep their ids when one above them floats.
- Translations (ja, es, zh-hans, zh-hant; cs and pt-br for the commands),

The option tells points from picas, where a bare `12` could be either: the
reference app dims it unless a unit is Picas, and it starts on. A number typed
with no unit into a field in picas is now read in points with it on (the
default again, as before #486), and in picas with it off; fields in any other
unit read it in their unit either way, as there. The Preferences dialog dims
the checkbox unless one of the Units is Picas.
The fields learn the preference when it changes, through
`prefs_dialog::apply_runtime` as Scrub Numeric Fields does, rather than from a
write into the egui context every frame. Tests for picas and other fields, the
wiring and the dimming; docs/mcp.md and ROADMAP say so.

Preferences › Units › Numbers Without Units Are Points was stored and
never read. On, a number typed with no unit into any length field
(`num_field`, `opt_field`, and so the spin fields built on them) is read
in points whatever the field's unit; a typed unit (`12 mm`, `1in`)
still wins, and the field keeps showing its value in its own unit. The
app sets the frame's rule from the preference in `logic`, the fields
read it through the egui context (`widgets::typed_unit`), so none of
the 45 callers change.
The default flips from true to false, which is Illustrator's default
and the behaviour the fields had while the option was unread.
Developed with AI assistance (Claude Code); reviewed and tested locally.

The wheel did nothing over numeric fields. As in Illustrator, once a numeric
field has the focus, turning the wheel over it steps its value like Up/Down:
a notch a step, Shift ten, Ctrl/Cmd a tenth, applied at once with the new value
selected.
- widgets::step_value (was step_with_arrows) reads the arrows and the wheel
through one path for num_field, plain/mixed fields and the spin fields built
on them (panels, the Control bar, dialogs, the Font Size and Leading combo
boxes), and now opt_field (Stroke dash/gap) too. Trackpad and fine-wheel
points add up to notches; the rest carries to the next turn.
- While the pointer is over the focused field the panel under it doesn't
scroll; an unfocused field, or the pointer anywhere else, leaves the wheel to
the panel and the canvas as before.
- The dialogs' and preferences' egui drag values become the same recessed
number fields (widgets::range_field: clamped to their range, rounded to their
precision), so they type, step and scroll like every other numeric field.
- Headless tests for the wheel (units, modifiers, points, focus and pointer),
and for the panel scrolling or not; docs/control-protocol.md and ROADMAP.

Discord feedback: Image Trace and the other image options were hidden when an image was
selected; copy, paste, Image Trace should work from the Control bar as in Illustrator.
- Control bar, one image selected: Linked File/Embedded, file name, colour mode and PPI, then
Embed (+ Edit Original) or Unembed…, an Image Trace split button (click: Default preset;
arrow: trace with any preset), Mask and Crop Image, in place of Fill and Stroke.
- Control bar, one Image Trace object selected: "Image Tracing", its Preset (choosing another
traces it again), the Image Trace panel and Expand.
- Properties panel: Image Trace (split), Crop Image and Mask in Quick Actions for an image; an
Image Trace section (Preset, Expand, Release) for an Image Trace object. Embed/Unembed buttons
are shared with the Control bar (place::link_buttons).
- New engine command object.maskImage ("Mask"): clips the selected image with a clipping path
on its outline (rotated with it) and selects that path so its handles crop; one undo step.
- widgets::split_button (flat button with a menu arrow).
- Translations for the new strings (es, ja, zh-hans, zh-hant; "Mask" also pt-br, cs).

The Properties panel's Font Size and Leading were plain typed fields and the
Control bar had no type controls. All three places now use the shared
editable combo (`widgets::spin_field`: typing, arrow and spinner stepping,
label scrubbing, a preset dropdown in the type unit):
- Character panel: the size and leading grid is shared with the Properties
panel (`character::metrics_grid`), which now shows the font style, Font
Size, Leading, Kerning and Tracking as combos and applies them to the
Type tool's selected characters as the Character panel does.
- Control bar: with type selected or edited, a Character link (the Character
panel in a popover), the font family and style menus and the Font Size combo.
- Presets as Illustrator lists them: sizes 6-72 pt; Leading has Auto first
(`widgets::spin_field_auto`, `text.setStyle {leading: "auto"}`) and then
the size ladder instead of 120% values; Kerning and Tracking -100...200.
- Font Size, Leading, Kerning and Tracking show blank where the selected
text's values differ (`character::shared`); the spinner does nothing on a
blank field instead of jumping to the step size.
Each pick is one `text.setStyle` / `text.setRangeStyle` step, so MCP and the
control channel are unchanged. Translations for the two new strings.

The popover kept its open flag while its anchor was hidden (panel closed, selection changed), so
it came back open the next time the row was drawn. It now remembers the last frame it was open in
and counts as closed after a frame without it, as egui's remembered popups do. ROADMAP: the
Appearance panel's Opacity popup.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
egui remembers one open popup at a time, so opening the blend-mode
dropdown or the opacity slider inside the Opacity popup closed the popup,
and the dropdown or slider with it. A new widgets::popover keeps its own
open state and closes only on Escape, its anchor, or a click outside it
and the popups it opened. The Opacity popup and the Stroke popover (which
holds dropdowns too) use it.

Dragging a numeric field's label left or right steps the field's value,
as Photoshop's scrubby labels do (beyond Illustrator): one unit every
2 points, ten with Shift, a tenth with Ctrl/Cmd (counts stay whole), in
the field's unit and precision. The panels apply each value as they
apply a typed one, so the art follows live and the caller's limits
hold (dragging back from a limit changes the value at once).
- scrub.rs: the label zone over the label noted just before a field
(dim_label, label_row, widgets::field_label, the Character and
Paragraph panels' icons, the Transform and Properties rotate/shear
icons), the ↔ cursor on hover, a click on the label focuses the
field. The text box itself never scrubs; a field without a label
doesn't. num_field, plain_field, mixed_field (and the spin fields)
and opt_field take part.
- Engine: undo groups (Session::begin_undo_group / end_undo_group). The
edits made in a group, commands and committed live drags alike, are
one undo step, journaled one by one; a cancelled group is undone and
dropped from the journal. The app opens one while a label is dragged,
so a scrub is one undo step whichever path the panel applies values
by (app.run, session.execute, live_run), and Escape cancels it
(shortcuts leave Escape to the drag, so it doesn't close a dialog or
deselect).
- Preferences > General > Scrub Numeric Fields by Dragging
(`scrubNumericFields`, on by default), translated in ja, es, zh-hans,
zh-hant and pt-br.
- Tests: label drags with Shift/Ctrl, limits, counts and units, Escape,
the preference, the cursor, click-to-focus, no scrub on the box or
without a label, and in the app one undo step for a W drag.
- ROADMAP and docs/mcp.md.

When the browser dropped the page's WebGPU device or WebGL context, the
editor kept running but nothing it drew reached the screen: Chrome and
WebKit showed a frozen, stale canvas and Firefox a blank page, while
edits and Save went on.
- ui-egui: new `graphics` module. `GraphicsLoss` carries a loss report
from any thread (wgpu's device-lost callback, the canvas's
`webglcontextlost` event) to the UI thread. `VectorcraftApp::
graphics_lost` writes Data Recovery copies of the modified documents at
once. The app now notices when the host hands it a new egui context and
uploads everything again (fonts and theme, the canvas, place cursor
thumbnails); every per-thread texture cache (layer, symbol, swatch,
style, asset and glyph thumbnails, previews, font samples, Navigator,
Flattener Preview) is a `TexCache` that empties for a new context.
Without this, the moved app drew stale or wrong textures and egui
panicked on its missing font families.
- web: the shell watches both loss signals; on a loss it puts a fresh
canvas in place of the dead one and starts the same `WebRunner` again,
handing over the same app (documents, undo, panels), with services made
for the new context and a status-bar note. If no new graphics can be had
(or after three losses) it removes the stale canvas, lets go of the
recovery copies and says to reload.
- engine: `recovery::leave` lets go of a session's area but keeps its
copies, so the reloaded page offers them at once instead of after the
heartbeat goes stale.
- desktop: eframe can't give a window a new device, so a lost device
(driver reset) is logged, the copies are written and the status bar says
to save and restart; closing then skips the Save Changes question it
can't show.
- Tests: loss reporting across threads, `TexCache` emptying, the app
uploading the canvas, a cached preview, theme and fonts again in a new
context (fails without the fix), copies written on loss, and
`recovery::leave` offering copies at once with both lock and heartbeat
stores. docs/development.md (web section) and ROADMAP updated.

The Up/Down stepping of #357 now serves every numeric field through one
helper: num_field (lengths, in their unit) and plain/mixed fields
(degrees, percent, counts, at their precision: a count ignores the
Ctrl/Cmd tenth), as in Illustrator's panels and dialogs. After a step
the new value is selected, so typing replaces it. The select-all code
the dialog focus and focus/double-click already duplicated becomes one
helper, and the tests move to tests_numfields.rs with its field harness
(which can now run with the window unfocused). ROADMAP.md notes it.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Panel number fields (num_field: X, Y, W, H, corner radius, stroke
weight, font size...) only parsed their text on Enter or focus loss,
so the arrow keys did nothing. With the field focused, Up/Down now
step the value by one of the field's unit (Shift: ten, Ctrl/Cmd: a
tenth), from the value shown, and apply it at once, as in the
reference app.
The field's focus is read from egui's memory, as its highlight and its
typing do: Response::has_focus also needs the window to report
keyboard focus, which the running app's window doesn't always do.

Rotate, Scale, Move and the other form dialogs opened with no field
focused, so a typed value went nowhere and Enter applied the default (a
Rotate by 0 degrees). The frame a dialog opens on (after the window's
measuring frame), its first text or number field takes the keyboard
focus with its text selected, so typing replaces it and Enter applies
it, as in the reference app.

Art dragged off the canvas and released over the Swatches panel becomes
a pattern swatch of a copy of it (object.pattern.make without entering
pattern editing; the art stays), and over the Brushes panel an Art brush
(brush.new, as the panel's New Brush button makes). A brush dragged out
of the Brushes panel (PanelDrag::Brush, with a preview chip) is applied
to the path it is dropped on (brush.apply). The art drop zone helper
moves to widgets, shared with the Symbols panel.

The Character and Properties panels' font menu was a plain searchable
list of names. With hundreds of installed families (and Japanese names
that say little to someone who can't read them) a name isn't enough.
- Each row shows the family's name and a sample of the selected text set
in it (a generic sample when the font lacks its characters). Samples
are rendered off the UI thread, a few per frame, and only for the rows
in view (the list is virtualised).
- The row under the pointer or reached with ↑/↓ previews its font on the
selected text, as one live interaction with nothing in the history; a
click or Enter applies it as one step, Escape or closing the menu puts
the text back. The current family is highlighted and scrolled into
view, also when the document names it in another language.
- Filters by script (Japanese, Latin) and kind (serif/Mincho, sans
serif/Gothic, rounded, script/brush, monospaced, decorative), from the
font's OS/2 classification and, for CJK fonts whose tables seldom say,
its names. `FontTraits`/`FontClass` in the text crate; installed
families get them from the same scan as their names.
- ▸ (or →/←) lists a family's styles; a style row previews and applies
that style.
- ☆ stars a family; the ★ filter shows only the favourites (kept with
the UI state).
- Preferences › Type › Enable in-menu font previews and Font Preview
Size now turn the samples off and size the rows; the in-window Type ›
Font menu (Windows, Linux) shows a sample beside each name.
- Families whose name starts with a dot (the system's own) are hidden.
- Catalog rows for the new labels in zh-hant (complete) and ja.

Art dragged off the canvas and released over the Symbols panel's list

Follow-ups from the review of #205.
- Names that are user, file or system data are shown as they are: menu
items for recent files, saved views, recent fonts and Type > Font,
user swatch and graphic style libraries, saved perspective presets,
custom workspaces (and Reset <name>) and plug-ins no longer go through
the catalog (menus::shows_a_name). widgets::dropdown_names,
menu_item_name and dim_name are the non-translating forms of the shared
widgets, for the panels and dialogs that list such names.
- The command palette builds its entries (shown label, search text) once
per language and plug-in set instead of translating ~700 labels every
frame while a query is typed.
- The locale probe (reg.exe / defaults) runs on a background thread at
startup instead of on the first frame.

Strings in code stay English and are the lookup keys; `crates/ui-egui/src/i18n`
maps them to display text at render time from one `*.tsv` catalog per language
(`LANGUAGES` registry, `tl!`/`t`/`tr`/`tr_ctx`/`tr_id`/`tn`/`fmt`). Command ids,
menu paths, `ui.menu.list`, the control channel, the CLI, MCP, status messages
and undo labels never see translated text, so agents, scripts and the existing
tests are unaffected (under `cargo test` the UI is always English).
Wired: in-window menus and the macOS native menu (rebuilt on a language change),
dynamic labels (Undo X, Reset X, Last Effect: X as templates), the command
palette (matches English and translated text), dock tabs, panel tooltips, the
toolbar (category names now cut by characters, not bytes), the dialog frame, the
shared widgets, the Preferences dialog, the shortcut editor, the hint and status
bars, the Home screen, and the literals of every panel and dialog.
Preference `interfaceLanguage` (User Interface › Language): `auto` or a code.
`auto` follows `VECTORCRAFT_LOCALE`, `LC_ALL`/`LC_MESSAGES`/`LANG`/`LANGUAGE`,
the macOS preferred languages and, on Windows (which sets no `LANG`), the user
locale from `HKCU\Control Panel\International`. `zh-TW`/`zh-HK`/`zh-MO`/
`zh-Hant-*` resolve to `zh-hant`; Simplified locales stay English until a
`zh-hans` catalog exists.
`zh-hant.tsv` (~2,850 rows) is clean-room, in the vocabulary used in Taiwan;
terms shared with PhotoCraft reuse its wording, vector terms use everyday
vector-drawing vocabulary. Tests: catalog well-formedness (placeholders,
ellipses, command ids, no Simplified characters), locale resolution, and two
coverage tests that fail when a menu string, panel/tool/preference label,
dialog button, hint-bar fragment or `tl!` literal has no row in a language
marked `complete_menus`. `VECTORCRAFT_I18N_DUMP=file cargo test -p
vectorcraft-ui-egui dump_source_strings` lists the strings for translators.
Also: two clippy findings under rustc 1.97 fixed in passing.
Integrated with main (squashed onto it, 42 commits on): the Czech interface
(#213) moves from its Rust table to `i18n/cs.tsv` on the registry (all 556
rows, Czech plural rule, its menu-coverage and glyph tests kept); Find Font's
resolution notes and the canvas context menu's labels are translated and
covered by the catalog tests (`menus::CONTEXT_LABELS`); the glyph test checks
CJK text only when the craft-fonts build input is embedded (#220 moved the
Japanese fonts out of this repository); a language saved by an older version
carries over to `interfaceLanguage`; Windows' locale lookup runs reg.exe by its
full path.

macOS keeps faces for its own interface under family names that start with
"." (".SF NS", ".LastResort", ".Aqua Kana"…); Mac apps don't list them. Since
the font menus list every installed family (#36), they showed 74 of them on a
stock macOS, at the top of every list.
- FontDb::menu_family_list: family_list without names that start with ".",
cached like it. Only a leading dot hides a family.
- Type › Font, the family dropdowns (Character, Properties), text.fontList and
Refresh Font List's count use it.
- Lookups by name still see every family: documents and fallbacks that name
a hidden family still find it (face, has_family, find_family, families,
text.fontList {family}, Fonts in Document's missing check).
- Test: tests_sysfonts::font_lists_leave_out_hidden_system_families_which_still_resolve
(a temporary font folder); the engine and UI font-list tests compare with
the listed families.

Type > Font, the Character, Properties and Glyphs panels and Find Font list
every installed font by default, as the reference app does, instead of the
four bundled families. The family dropdowns get a search field that filters
the list as you type (Enter picks the first match) and open on the current
font. Show System Fonts, which no longer means anything, becomes Refresh Font
List (text.rescanFonts): it picks up fonts installed since the app started and
redraws type set in them without editing the document. text.fontList lets MCP
agents list the families and a family's styles.
Root cause: the font lists came from FontDb::families(), which only held the
bundled fonts until something scanned the system fonts (fixed with #130). The
Type > Font menu, rebuilt every frame, now builds its items once per font
change, and renderers lay type out again when the fonts change.

In a window too short for them, the toolbar (tools, Fill/Stroke, colour
chips, drawing modes, Screen Mode, Edit Toolbar) and the dock's panel icon
column scroll with the mouse wheel, or with the scroll bar that shows while
the pointer is over them, instead of being cut off at the hint bar.
Root cause: both were drawn straight into their side panels with no scroll
area, and the toolbar's only fallback (two columns) runs out below about
760 pt. They now draw inside widgets::strip_scroll, a vertical ScrollArea
next to the menus' widgets::menu_scroll.

A `*` or `/` operand had to be a bare number, so `1080/2 px` (the number
replaced by an expression, the field's suffix still there) read as nothing.
The unit after a factor or divisor now measures the whole expression, in
every unit (`Unit::parse`, shared by every unit field). Numeric fields
(num_field, opt_field, plain/mixed fields) select their whole text, unit
included, when they gain focus or are double-clicked, so typing replaces it;
unitless fields gain the same arithmetic (`parse_number`, `45*2°`).

small caps size (Character panel position/smallCaps; changing the
setup restyles the text in the same undo step), text export (SVG text

live. Units > Type drives font size, leading and baseline shift; Units >
Stroke also reaches the Appearance panel and the Magic Wand weight
tolerance. Typed units ("5 mm", "12 pt") work in any field; all ten
units are choices; length preferences show in their unit and accept a
unit; offset/simplify/grid/type-size params read typed units. Typed text
starting with a multi-byte character no longer panics the parser.

PdfSettings (serde, camelCase) is the Save PDF model: Standard, Compatibility
PDF 1.4-2.0, General (Preserve editing, Thumbnails, Fast web view, View after
saving, Create layers), Compression, Marks and Bleeds, Output, Advanced and
Security. PdfOptions = settings + pages, title and date.
document.exportPdf {path?, preset?, artboard?|artboards?|range?, standard?,
compatibility?, ...sections} -> {path|dataBase64, bytes, warnings} applies the
options over the preset (null keeps the preset's value); PDF/X, passwords,
PDF/A-2b at 2.0 and out-of-range values are refused; options accepted but not
applied yet come back as warnings. document.export {format: pdf} and
document.formats take and list the same options.
The Save PDF dialog (file.export.pdf, ui.savePdfDialog) has Preset,
Standard and Compatibility on top and a section list; it runs the export
before asking for a path, so bad options never open a save dialog.

Window → Color Themes: the Create tab makes a five-colour theme on a
harmony wheel (a harmony rule from the selected colour, colours moving
together; or Custom, each on its own), with a brightness slider, hex
field, current-colour picker and name; the My Themes tab lists saved
themes to edit, add to Swatches as a colour group, or delete. Themes are
kept in the preferences (Prefs::color_themes; no online service).
Commands: colorTheme.list, colorTheme.save {colors | color + rule, name?,
replace?}, colorTheme.delete, colorTheme.addToSwatches. Harmony::theme
and move_on_wheel live in the colour crate; the wheel is now a shared
widget (widgets::harmony_wheel) used by Recolor Artwork's Edit tab too.

Window > Attributes (Cmd+F11) shows Overprint Fill/Stroke, Show/Don't Show
Center, Reverse Path Direction Off/On, the non-zero / even-odd fill rule,
Image Map, a URL field with recent URLs and a Browser button, and a note.
New commands attributes.set and path.setFillRule; path.reverse takes ids and
reversed; attributes.info reports every value. Objects keep the attributes in
Node.attrs. SVG export wraps linked objects in <a>, and import reads links
back. The canvas draws the centre point of selected objects that show it.

Arrowhead gains 30 original shapes generated in code, appended after the first
ten so saved names stay stable: Barbed, Half Arrow (left/right), Concave,
Double Arrow, Chevron, Feather, Swallowtail, Reverse Triangle, Triangle to Bar,
Kite, Leaf, Drop, Half Circle, Oval, Target, Tag (+ open), Diamond (open),
Hexagon (+ open), Star, Cross, Plus, Double Bar, Dot on Bar, Slash, Double
Slash, Bracket and Fork. Each is drawn in local units of the head's weight
inside the usual 4 x 4 box, with its own stop for the stroke under it.
Arrowhead::label() names them in the menus. The Stroke panel's arrowhead
dropdowns render every head as the canvas draws it (cached textures, a shared
widgets::doc_preview that the Brushes panel now uses too) in a scrolling list.

The Control bar and Properties Fill/Stroke chips show the proxies' paints
("?" for mixed selections) and open a popover with the Swatches panel body
(Shift-click or the toggle: the Color panel's mixer); a click brings the
chip's proxy forward through paint.toggleActive {fill}. The Properties
panel offers Recolor for multi-colour selections. Window panel shortcuts
(Color F6, Color Guide Shift+F3, Appearance Shift+F6, Graphic Styles
Shift+F5, Stroke Cmd+F10, Gradient Cmd+F9, Transparency Shift+Cmd+F10)
run window.panel {panel}, show in the Window menu and are editable.
paint.invert / paint.complement and the "?" state honour the Appearance
panel's active item; objects without bounds still show their paints.

Thumbnail, Small List and Large List views; thumbnails rendered on a
square or on type and cached by a hash of each style's look. Merge
Graphic Styles (named in Graphic Style Options), drag to reorder, delete
asks first (Alt-click does not), the right button held on a style shows
it large on the selected object. Styles dragged onto art apply to the
object hit; art dragged off the canvas or the Appearance thumbnail dropped
on the panel becomes a new style. Override Character Color (on by
default) clears type's character fill and stroke when a style with fills
or strokes is applied. Control bar Style picker.
Commands: graphicStyle.merge, graphicStyle.move, graphicStyle.setOptions,
ui.mergeGraphicStyles. Prefs: overrideCharColor.

paint.freeform.addPoint/setPoint/deletePoint/addLine/splitLine/selectPoint
and the paint.freeform.get query edit the freeform gradient behind the active
proxy (one undo step each; errors on other paints). The session keeps the
selected point. The Gradient tool on a freeform gradient selects and drags
points, adds points on the art (joined in Lines mode) and on lines, and
deletes the selected point. The Gradient panel shows the Draw toggle and the
selected point's colour, opacity, spread and Delete Point; the Color panel
recolours the selected point.

- Weights and dash lengths show in Units > Stroke in the Stroke panel,
the Control bar and the Properties panel (Session::stroke_unit).
- Values the selected objects don't share show blank (weight, miter
limit, dashes) or light no button (cap, join, align), from a
per-revision cached DocState::stroke_mixed.
- Align Stroke Inside/Outside are disabled for open paths and type.
- The Control bar weight is a preset spinner with a width profile
dropdown, and its Stroke link (and the Properties panel's) opens the
Stroke panel as an anchored popover instead of docking it.
- The panels show a group's first painted object's stroke, as the
Stroke proxy does (Session::shown_stroke).
- stroke.set on a group skips images and symbol instances.
- document.inspect reports each object's strokeOptions (cap, join,
miterLimit, align, dash, dashOffset, alignDashes, arrows, arrowAlign,
profile) in stroke.set terms.

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.

The Gradient panel gains the Fill/Stroke proxy, a thumbnail menu of the document's gradient swatches with Save to
Swatches, Angle and Aspect Ratio fields with preset menus (the shared spin field), Show/Hide Options, and a stop
colour row whose eyedropper samples the next colour clicked on art into the selected stop (Eyedropper tool option
`stop`, `paint.sampleColor {stop}`). On the slider a selected midpoint diamond shows and sets its midpoint in
Location, double-clicking a stop opens the shared stop popover, Alt-drag copies a stop and Alt-dropping it on
another swaps their colours (`swap_stop_colors`), and a dropped colour swatch adds or recolours a stop. Clicking a
stop no longer falls through to the add-stop strip. Swatch tiles and the gradient thumbnail drag onto art, which
paints the object under the pointer through `paint.setFill`/`paint.setStroke {ids}`. The panel, the popover and
the Color panel share one stop-writing helper.

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.
