docs/control-protocol.md and the tool.options params text say that 0
turns the Pencil and Paintbrush options Edit selected paths within and
Close paths when ends are within off. A stroke that
started exactly on an end of a selected open path still continued that
path at 0, and a stroke that ended exactly where it started was still
closed at 0, because both checks compared the distance with <= 0.
At 0, a stroke that starts on an end of a selected open path now draws
a new path, as one that starts on the path away from its ends already
did, and a stroke that ends where it started stays open.

brush.new and brush.options refused a Hue Shift colorization given
without a key color ("invalid brush: missing field `key`"), and only
Brush Options picked a default. The reference app's Brushes page says
that by default the key color is the most prominent color in the art.
A Hue Shift colorization without a key now takes the solid color that
the art's fills and strokes use most, the first one found on a tie, or
black when the art has no solid color, as Brush Options already does.
Brush definitions read from a document get the same default.
brush.options replaced each field its params named, so an edit that
gave only the colorization method or only an art brush's start guide
was refused because the key or the end guide was missing. It now
merges colorization and an art brush's scale field by field.

Document Info had no Brushes category, and document.info refused
category "brushes". The reference app's Document Info panel menu lists
Brushes after Graphic Styles.
Document Info now has a Brushes category after Graphic Styles. For the
whole document it lists the Brushes panel's brushes. With Selection
Only it lists the brushes that the selected objects' strokes use, each
once. document.info gives the names as brushNames, the panel's flyout
offers the category, and the text report that Document Info › Save…
and File › Package write has a BRUSHES section.

The reference app's View menu has Show Live Paint Gaps, which
highlights the gaps in the selected Live Paint group based on the gap
options set for that group. VectorCraft had no such item.
View > Show Live Paint Gaps (view.livePaintGaps) turns the highlight
on or off, and the item reads Hide Live Paint Gaps while it is on.
While it is on and edges show, the canvas draws the gaps of each
selected Live Paint group up to its Paint Stops At size, the gaps that
livePaint.info lists. It draws them as the Gap Options preview does,
as lines in the group's Gap Preview Color. The setting works as View >
Hide Text Threads does: one setting covers every document, it is saved
with the interface state, and Hide Edges hides the gaps. It is off by
default.

The reference app's Brushes panel menu has Select All Unused, which
selects the brushes that are not used in the document. VectorCraft's
Brushes panel menu had no such item, and no command listed the unused
brushes.
brush.unused (Select All Unused) is a query that lists, in library
order, the brushes no stroke paints with. Strokes in the art and its
opacity masks, in symbols, graph designs, pattern tiles and graphic
styles count, and so do strokes in the art of a brush that is used.
The art of a brush that is not used does not count, so a brush whose
own art is the only art that paints with it is listed, and so is a
brush used only in the art of an unused brush. The Brushes panel
menu's Select All Unused selects these brushes, and Delete Brush and
Duplicate Brush then act on them.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
Select > Object > Bristle Brush Strokes selected the objects whose
brush name contains "bristle". It missed objects with a bristle brush
of any other name, and it selected objects whose brush is of another
type with "Bristle" in its name.
select.object.bristleBrushStrokes now looks up the brush of each
object's topmost stroke in the document's brush library and selects the
object when the brush is a bristle brush, whatever its name.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
The Artboards panel menu showed Convert to Artboards disabled whatever
was selected, and choosing it did nothing, although Object › Artboards
› Convert to Artboards runs artboard.convertToArtboards on the
selection.
The panel menu's item now uses the same check as Object › Artboards ›
Convert to Artboards, so it is enabled when something is selected, and
it runs the same command. Each selected object that has an area becomes
a new artboard of its geometric bounds and is removed, in one undo step.

The reference app makes a document without opening the New Document
dialog with Ctrl+Alt+N on Windows and Option+Command+N on macOS.
VectorCraft had no default key for it.
file.newWithoutDialog (New Without Dialog, default Cmd+Alt+N) makes a
document with the settings New Document opens on: the first Recent
entry, or the Print category's Letter while Recent is empty, named
after the next untitled document. It fills the fields with the
dialog's own open, runs file.new with the params Create sends, and
does not show the dialog. A dialog that is already open stays open.
Keyboard Shortcuts lists it under File.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/ui-parity.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
The reference app adds a new fill with Ctrl+/ on Windows and Command+/
on macOS, and it adds a new stroke with Ctrl+Alt+/ on Windows and
Option+Command+/ on macOS. VectorCraft had Add New Fill and Add New
Stroke on the Appearance panel, with no default key for either.
appearance.addFill now has the default Cmd+/ and appearance.addStroke
has Cmd+Alt+/, which are Ctrl+/ and Ctrl+Alt+/ on Windows and Linux.
Like the panel's buttons and menu items, each key runs its command with
no params and adds the item to every selected object. Keyboard Shortcuts
lists both under Window › Appearance with their keys, and press_key
runs them for agents.

With image mips on (the canvas always sets them), drawing an image
fetched its full decoded pixels first, decoding them again when the
shared image store no longer held them, and only then looked up the mip
it draws. The full pixels are only peeked, so they are the least
recently used entries and the first the store drops over its budget
(1 GiB on macOS and Windows). Once a document's full-size images exceed
it (20 photos of 6000 x 4000 px are 1.9 GB as RGBA), every frame decoded
every image again, though only their small mips were drawn: moving one
image redrew seconds later.
The store now remembers the size each blob's pixels decode to, so the
mip level is found without the pixels, and a mip the store holds is
drawn (and marked used) without fetching or decoding them. Without the
mip, at full size, or with mips off (exports) drawing is unchanged.
Measured on an Apple M4 (load average 15-24 from other work), 20 noise
PNGs of 6000 x 4000 px fitted in a 2880 x 1800 view, one moved 5 pt per
frame: before, 20 decodes and 1.1-3.0 s every frame; after, the first
frame decodes 20 and the later ones none, in 3-5 ms.
