The check added for #1396 dropped the inner contour only when the path itself fell in the hole, which takes a stroke more than twice as wide as the shape. Between one and two times the size (a 30 pt ellipse with a 50 pt stroke), and on rectangles with round or bevel joins, the hole stayed.
An offset contour is now left out when no point of it lies half the weight from its subpath: it is then nowhere the edge of the stroke. Subpaths are judged one by one, and only when the stroke is at least as wide as the subpath's bounds, so ordinary strokes take the same single call as before.
A closed path stroked wider than it is came back as a ring, because the inner offset crossed the middle. When that outline no longer covers the path, the outer contour is kept so the stroke paints solid.
Each dash and dot of a profile stroke is as wide as the profile where it sits
along the whole path (before, dashes dropped the profile). Corners of profile
strokes take the stroke's miter (within the miter limit), round or bevel join on
the outer side and stay clean on the inner side, instead of a miter clamped at
4x; smooth points of curves bend round. Canvas, SVG/PDF outlines and Outline
Stroke share the geometry.

With alignDashes every run between corners and path ends holds a whole number of
periods, scaled to fit, with a dash (or dot) centred on each corner and on both
ends of an open path. It lives in the shared dash generator, so the canvas, SVG
and PDF export (as outlines) and Outline Stroke all draw it.
stroke.set: alignDashes and dashOffset edit the current pattern on their own, and
a new dash array keeps the offset and alignment it replaces. The Stroke panel
turns dashes on fitted to corners (or as last turned off), and its Exact/Fit
buttons send only the flag.

Hollow heads draw as rings (the open arrow as a chevron) and closed paths get
no heads. The stroke stops under each head, so it never shows through a hollow
head or past the tip; stroke.set {arrowAlign: "extend"|"tip"} chooses whether
the tip extends past the end point (default) or sits on it with the stroke
shortened. Line and heads share one paint box (a gradient runs on into the
head) and take the stroke and object opacity once, as one layer on the canvas
and one group in PDF. StrokeLayer.arrow_align is a new defaulted field, so
older files load unchanged. The Stroke panel's Align buttons get two generated
icons and are disabled when the stroke has no head.

The shared stroke geometry now has its own arc-length dash generator: a dash
of length 0 becomes a dot that a round cap paints as a disc and a projecting
cap as a square turned along the path (a butt cap paints nothing). Dashes
restart per subpath, join across the start of closed subpaths, and a pattern
too fine for the path draws solid. The canvas and raster export use it through
line_outline; the stroke.set params doc says how to get dots.

Arrowheads, width-profile outlines and dashed line outlines now come from
vectorcraft_effects::stroke (stroke_pieces, line_outline, width_outline), used by
the canvas and PDF export alike; the renderer caches profile outlines too. Width
profiles are a doc-level catalogue (WidthProfile::PRESETS, preset, preset_id,
id_of) shared by stroke.set and the Stroke panel; stroke.set rejects unknown
profile ids and its params doc lists the arrowhead names.
