The characters' stroke takes Align Stroke like an object stroke: CharStyle
keeps stroke_align (written only when not centred), stroke.set and
text.setRangeStyle strokeOptions apply align to type, and the Stroke panel
enables the buttons for type. Canvas, PDF and EPS draw it around the glyphs
through stroke_layer(); SVG keeps the text live and writes the aligned
stroke on the glyph outlines, clipped or masked. Type's visual bounds grow
with its character strokes.
An Intertwine group keeps its objects as they are, in their own stacking
order; each member can be drawn over the others in an area of its own.
The group draws, hits, saves and exports through its live expansion, so the
members stay editable and Release gives them back unchanged.
object.intertwine.arrange picks an overlap area by a click point or by a
closed path drawn around overlaps and toggles which member is on top
there, or brings a member to the front or sends it to the back where three
or more objects overlap.
Type is drawn as its glyph outlines under a geometry effect, in EMF and
WMF export, in DXF export when it is written as outlines, through
Flatten Transparency with Convert All Text to Outlines, and inside an
envelope. Those outlines differed from the type the canvas draws in
four ways. They had no underline or strikethrough bars. A character
stroke on scaled type kept its unscaled weight. An unplaced gradient was
fitted to the glyphs it painted instead of the layout box. A run's
pattern tiles stayed in document space instead of scaling and turning
with the type. A group's or layer's own fills and strokes also painted
the glyphs of the type in it without the bars.
The outlines now include each run's underline and strikethrough bars,
as the canvas has drawn them since #850. Each run's path is made in
text space with its unplaced gradients fixed to the layout box, then
placed by the type's transform, which also scales its stroke weight
and dashes and transforms its pattern tiles. The type's own fills and
strokes have their unplaced gradients fixed to the bounding box of the
layout box in the document, where the canvas fits them.
Geometry effects that move or scale the outlines move and scale the
type's gradients with them: the type's own effects, also inside an
envelope and after Flatten Transparency has converted the type to
outlines, and the effects of a group, symbol instance or envelope that
holds the type. outline_text marks its group with a new node field,
type_outlines, which is saved with the document. reshape_leaves maps
the placed gradients in each marked group through the map that takes
the group's bounds before the effects onto its bounds after them. A
scale out of proportion stretches a radial gradient into an ellipse
and turns the isolines of a diagonal linear gradient, as it does on
type scaled by its own transform. Placed gradients outside those
groups stay where they are.
Every symbol instance was measured as its transform applied to the
20 × 20 square around the origin, which symbols made in the app keep
their art in. The SVG and DXF importers keep symbol art as drawn, so
the box of an instance of an imported symbol did not match its art.
The SVG Star instance at x 20, y 30 draws from (20, 30) to (40, 50)
and was measured from (10, 20) to (30, 40). Align moved such an
instance by the wrong amount, clicks and marquees beside its art
selected it, and the canvas, exports and prints left it out when its
art reached the view or the page and the square did not.
An instance is now measured by its symbol's art, which
Document::symbol_boxes looks up in the document each time
(Node::geometric_bounds_with, visual_bounds_with and
reach_bounds_with). With Use Preview Bounds on, the strokes in the art
count at their own weight, as the canvas draws them, and
object.setBounds counts them at that weight when it sizes an instance
or an object that holds one. When strokes do not scale and a width or
height of 0 or more is smaller than what a path's stroke adds,
object.setBounds now gives the path no width or height, as it does
for an instance whose art has strokes; before, it mirrored the path.
With Use Preview Bounds on, object.setBounds now measures the margins
that strokes add object by object, the members of groups and the
objects in symbol instances' art included, and solves for the width,
height and reference point asked for when the width and height are 0
or more. Before, it measured the margins of the whole selection and
could miss the size or the reference point asked for when strokes did
not scale and the objects' strokes added different margins, and when
strokes scaled and the width and height were out of proportion, even
for one path. A clip group, a Shaper Group, a compound path, type, and
a group or instance with effects or an opacity mask of its own are each
measured as one object, and so is an instance in perspective or one
turned or slanted relative to the bounding box, other than by quarter
turns. When the selection holds more than 4,096 objects to measure this
way, each selected object is measured as one. Instances inside symbol
art are measured by their own symbol's art. An instance is measured as
the square when its symbol is missing, when its symbol or a symbol
nested in its art holds an instance of itself, and when symbols nest 32
deep in its art.
Align and Distribute, the Transform panel, the bounding box and the
selection outline, clicks, the marquee, document.inspect and
document.node, Fit to Artwork Bounds and Fit to Selected Art, canvas
culling, thumbnails, the SVG filter region of an instance with a
raster effect, raster effect images, Export Selection, the SVG of an
artboard, printing, and the PDF, EPS, EMF/WMF and DXF writers use the
new box. The renderer also culls an instance by the effects and
brushed strokes in its art, and it culls a blend, envelope or repeat
by the brush art of what it holds and the effects in the art of the
instances in it. It culls an instance with geometry effects of its own
by the effects in its art after those geometry effects reshape the art.
It measures the effects in a symbol's art once for each symbol and
linear part of the transform that places it. For symbols whose art
holds instances, it measures at most 4,096 placements a frame, and at
most 4,096 more for each pattern tile it rasterizes and each placed
document it draws. Past that, it estimates the reach from the symbol's
reach with no transform, which it measures once. When the drawn
document's symbols change, the renderer drops the cached bounds of the
instances and of the objects that hold them.
The PDF and EPS writers, the SVG of an artboard and Skip Blank
Artboards grow the box of an instance whose art holds brushed strokes
by 16 times the widest stroke (at least 1 pt) of the objects in that
art that have a brushed stroke, plus 8 pt, as the renderer grows the
cull bounds of a brushed path. They keep an instance whose brush art
reaches the page. The SVG of an artboard also keeps an object that
holds an instance when what the canvas paints for it, the effects in
the symbol's art and the instance's own included, reaches the artboard.
Not yet: other commands that measure objects, such as Select › All on
Active Artboard, Transform Each and Convert to Artboards, still measure
an instance by the square.

Save serializes JSON straight into the compressor and writes images from their Arc into the
file; open reads each image into its own buffer, and NodeKind reads its tag first instead of
buffering every node. Already-compressed images are stored rather than deflated again in the
same gzip stream. Limits apply per section, so any file VectorCraft writes opens again. Data
Recovery writes each image once, content-addressed, instead of every interval. Native files open
on a background thread. Files stay readable by main both ways; JSON-only saves are identical.

Rarely set fields move into one optional boxed NodeExtras, and large NodeKind payloads (images,
live shapes, blends, envelopes) are boxed. Every object, and every undo step that copies it,
shrinks: a 50k-path move keeps ~24.5 MB per step instead of ~40 MB. Files stay byte-identical
(Node keeps its flat JSON through a borrowed Serialize and a from-wire Deserialize, no flatten),
and loading is slightly faster. Undo and redo reuse their step's size estimate instead of
walking the document again (8.3 -> 5.6 ms for a 50k-path move).

# Conflicts:

# crates/svg/src/export.rs
Every edit of an object copied its whole appearance (its fills, strokes and effects, about
540 bytes for a basic object) into the new node, though a move leaves it as it is. Over 45
whole-selection moves of 10,000 paths, undo history grew by 589 MB; now 349 MB (41 % less), and
a nudge or a drag of the selection takes 12 ms instead of 15.
- Node::appearance is a vectorcraft_doc::Shared<Appearance>: copy-on-write. A clone shares it,
and the first change through DerefMut copies it (Arc::make_mut). Reads, writes, equality (also
against a plain Appearance) and the saved form are those of the Appearance itself, so call
sites read and change it as before. Sites that build or assign a whole appearance add .into(),
and the few that need a plain copy take (*n.appearance).clone().
- Node::transform changes the appearance only when it has gradients to transform, and pattern
paints are transformed only when there are some: a move no longer copies an appearance it
doesn't change.
The workspace suite (5,301 tests) and clippy pass with the change; the doc and engine suites
pass again after the transform guard.

Group Selection's fill and stroke on a graph series are kept on the graph,
separately per series, and reapplied when its data, type or size changes,
and through save, open and undo.
A selected live polygon now shows Illustrator's Polygon Properties in the
Transform panel and the Properties panel's Transform section: side count,
angle, corner type and radius, radius, side length and Make Sides Equal
(enabled once an uneven scale has made its sides differ). Before, only the
side count and corner radius were there.
object.setLiveShape takes polygonAngle (degrees counterclockwise),
polygonRadius and sideLength (points, centre to vertex / side) and
makeSidesEqual, which drops the uneven scale and shear and keeps the
polygon's centre, angle and mean radius. Each call is one undo step; a
radius or length that isn't a number above 0 is an error. A star stays a
plain path, as in Illustrator.

An ellipse kept pie angles in its model, but nothing drew or set them. Now
the Transform and Properties panels show Ellipse Properties with Pie Start
Angle, Pie End Angle and Invert Pie, as in Illustrator, and
object.setLiveShape takes {pieStart, pieEnd, invertPie}. The pie runs
counterclockwise on screen from the start angle (0 at 3 o'clock) to the
end angle and closes through the centre; 0 to 360 is the whole ellipse,
an end of 0 means 360, and Invert Pie swaps the angles to show the other
part. One undo step each; a bad angle is an error. The labels are
translated in every complete language. The on-canvas pie widget is still
to come.

An SVG used as an animation rig lost its hidden alternates and their
rotation pivots: the exporter left hidden objects out (only hidden layers
could be kept), and the importer dropped data-* attributes.
- SVG export: hiddenLayers (on by default for document.save, as before)
now keeps hidden objects too, each written display="none" on its own
element (path, image, text or group). Exports still leave them out
unless asked; the CLI's convert asks, as a conversion keeps the
document.
- An object's own data: ObjectAttributes.data, the data-* attributes in
order (ours, data-name and data-vc-*, aside). The importer keeps them on
the objects and layers they belong to (at most 64 per element), the
exporter writes them back, the native format saves them (missing in
older files), and object.setProps {data: {key: value|null}} sets or
removes them.

Corner widgets only ever showed on live rectangles: CornerWidgets::of bailed
out unless the selection's live shape was LiveShape::Rectangle, and
object.setLiveShape only edited rectangle radii. A star is a plain path, so it
had no widgets with either selection tool.
- geom::corners: the corners of any path (anchors without handles between two
straight sides) and the path with them cut round, inverted round or
chamfered, each corner a circle tangent to both sides, its radius no larger
than takes the cut halfway along its shorter side. Rectangles now cut their
corners with it (bit-identical anchors and layout).
- doc::corners::LiveCorners/set_corners: one model for a live rectangle's,
a live polygon's (new radii/kinds) and any other path's corners (new
LiveShape::Path keeping the uncut outline, plain again once nothing is cut);
radii scale with transforms (Scale Corners) and stay circular.
- object.setLiveShape takes anchor indices for `corners` on any path; polygons
keep a shared radius as their sides change.
- Widgets: Direct Selection on any path, Selection on live rectangles and
polygons; placed on each corner's bisector, the drag follows it, the red
limit outline marks corners at their own limit; the angle preference and
View > Hide Corner Widget apply. Corners dialog and the Properties and
Transform panels' Corner Radius (now on polygons too) work on them.
- Tests for the star, the polygon and a pen path in geom, doc, tools, engine
and ui-egui; docs and ROADMAP.

Live rectangles drew elliptical corners after an uneven scale in v0.4.0;
inconsistent on a rectangle that isn't square:
- doc: LiveShape::fold_scale moves an uneven scale left in `xf` (files
saved before #291) into the size and radii; `transform` uses it, and
`folded()`/`corner_style` give Live Corners document units.
- engine: object.setLiveShape folds that scale first, so setting a radius
or kind (fields, dialog, widgets, MCP) gives circular corners on such
shapes instead of keeping the ellipses.
- geom: max_corner_radius/fitted_corner_radius are the one limit every
corner shares (half the shorter side).
- tools: corner widgets sit at the centres of the corners as drawn (a
radius past the limit put them off the arc, further in along the long
side), drag in document units on stretched shapes, and outline the
edited corners in red at the limit, as the reference app does.
- svg: CSS export writes the drawn radii (CSS would draw a radius past the
limit when its neighbours leave room).
- docs: mcp.md Live Corners, ROADMAP.

A live rectangle stored four corner radii but drew them all with the largest,
and the corner widgets always rounded all four corners, so one corner could not
be rounded on its own.
- geom: rectangle_with_corners draws each corner with its own radius and kind
(Round, Inverted Round, Chamfer); a sharp corner is one anchor, a cut one two.
Uniform corners keep the exact rounded-rectangle anchors.
- doc: LiveShape::Rectangle gains `kinds` (saved only when a corner isn't round;
older files read as round), plus helpers mapping anchors to corners.
- engine: object.setLiveShape takes `corners` and `kind`; without `corners` it
edits the Direct-Selected corners, else all four, and keeps the selected
corners selected as their anchors change.
- tools: with Direct Selection, only the selected corners show widgets and a
drag rounds just those; Alt-click cycles the corner kind; double-click opens
the new Corners dialog (also `ui.corners`).
- ui: Properties/Transform radius fields show and set the selected corners;
CSS export keeps per-corner radii and skips cut-in corners.

A live rectangle kept every transform in its `xf`, so a non-uniform scale
(a bounding-box drag, Object > Transform > Scale) stretched the rounded
corners built in untransformed space into elliptical arcs. Scale Corners
off divided the radii by the mean scale, which only compensated uniform
scales.
LiveShape::transform now folds a scale along the rectangle's own sides
(any rotation or reflection, no shear) into w/h and keeps only rotation,
reflection and position in `xf`, so the radii are document lengths and the
path is regenerated with circular corners. Radii scale by the mean scale
(sqrt|det|), which keep_corners undoes for Scale Corners off. Shears and
plain moves keep composing into `xf` as before, so files saved with a
scale in `xf` keep their exact geometry until next scaled or rotated.
A corner-widget drag starts from the radius as drawn (clamped to fit).

- Edit Contents: while an envelope's contents are edited, clicks hit the
content where it sits undistorted and the Selection tool selects it; the
menu item reads Edit Envelope then. No default shortcut: the reference
app's (Shift+Cmd+V) is Paste in Place here.
- A selected envelope shows its mesh (a warp's surface grid, a mesh's own,
a top object's outline) instead of its content's outlines.
- Mesh envelope points get bezier handles (append-only; none stored is the
smooth Catmull-Rom mesh, which the first handle edit fills in exactly
along the grid lines). setMeshPoint takes `handle`; object.mesh.movePoint,
addLine and deletePoint edit mesh envelopes too. The Mesh tool and Direct
Selection drag points and the clicked point's handles (shared MeshEdit);
the Mesh tool adds rows and columns inside mesh envelopes. Reset with
Mesh keeps the shape along the grid with handles; Release returns the
exact mesh.
- Control bar: Edit Envelope / Edit Contents, warp style, orientation,
bend and distortions or mesh rows and columns, Reset, Envelope Options.

Type and symbol instances attached to a plane keep their art and carry a projection
(Node.perspective.projection, append-only); the canvas and every export draw their outlines
through it (reshape/bake), so they are foreshortened and stay type and symbol instances. Bounds,
hit testing and transforms follow the projection. Object › Perspective › Edit Text
(perspective.editText, or double-clicking with the Perspective Selection tool) shows the type flat
where it is drawn in isolation mode; exiting isolation projects it again. Release with
Perspective keeps their look. Copies, pastes, duplicates and Selection-tool moves keep the
attachment (the art moves as dragged). Flare, spiral and polar grid draw on the active plane, and
so do the click-to-size shape dialogs (perspective.draw `at`: sizes in plane units).

- Images distort as a raster mesh warp: cut by Fidelity into triangles,
each a clipped image under the affine map of its corners (pieces overlap
slightly, no seams; the renderer paints them without clip layers; SVG
writes the pixels once and <use>s them).
- Symbol instances distort as their symbol's art (the renderer's cache
follows edits to the symbol).
- Distort Appearance bakes strokes (filled outlines) and geometry effects
before bending; Distort Linear Gradients bends linear gradients; Distort
Pattern Fills bends the tiles. Opacity masks of the content bend too.
- Bug fix: a rotated, sheared or reflected warp envelope re-warped along
the page axes. Envelopes now keep their own frame (append-only model
field), so the warp turns with the art; move and scale keep it square.
- Live evaluation shares one set of hooks (vectorcraft_doc::live::Hooks,
vectorcraft_effects::{expand_live, expanded_live_group,
expand_live_deep}) between the canvas, Expand and every exporter.

The Perspective Selection tool shows the selection's bounding box in perspective; its handles
scale in plane space (perspective.transform; Shift proportional, Alt from the centre). Alt-drag
moves copies that stay attached, pressing 5 while dragging moves along the plane's normal
(ToolKey::Digit, delivered by the canvas and MCP press_key), and the arrow keys nudge in
perspective (perspective.nudge). Transform Again repeats the last perspective move or scale in
plane space. Attachments (plane and depth) now live on the objects (Node.perspective), so copies,
duplicates and pastes keep them; grids from older files hand theirs over. Homography moves to
vectorcraft-geom. Hint-bar text for the tool.

Make with Warp and Make with Mesh open dedicated dialogs (style dropdown,
orientation, bend and distortion sliders; rows and columns) with live

content (Maintain Envelope Shape samples the current surface). Envelope
Options is a full dialog prefilled from the selection (Anti-Alias,
Preserve Shape, Fidelity, Distort Appearance, Distort Linear Gradients,
Distort Pattern Fills); with nothing selected it sets the defaults for new

warp or mesh shape as a gradient mesh and keeps opacity, blend mode and
mask; Expand keeps name, knockout, isolation and mask; Object > Expand

Rotating an object baked the rotation into its geometry and kept nothing
else, so the bounding box, the handles and the Transform/Properties
panels fell back to the page-aligned box (the Rotate field went back to 0).
Root cause: nodes carried no record of their own axes. Each node now
keeps `bbox_angle` (append-only, written only when non-zero), which every
transform turns with the object (mirroring transforms keep the nearer of
the two possible boxes). The geometry is still baked. The selection's box
(`Document::oriented_bounds`) stands at the angle the selected objects
share. The Selection tool hit-tests and scales its handles in that frame,
and the canvas draws it rotated. `object.setBounds` measures W/H and the
reference point along it. `object.rotate {absolute}` turns the selection
to an angle, which the panels' Rotate field now shows and sets. Object >
Transform > Reset Bounding Box (previously a no-op) clears the angle in
one undo step.

A linked image (`ImageObject.link`, now a LinkInfo: absolute path, path relative to the document,
size, modification time, hash, page; old path strings still load) keeps a low-resolution preview
(`ImageBlob.proxy`, at most 256 px a side) that a native save writes in place of the pixels of
images only linked images show. Opening a native document reads the linked files again, looking
for each at its path, then relative to the document and by name in its folder: missing files
show their preview, modified ones are read again only with Update Links: Automatically.
`document.open` reports `missingLinks`, `modifiedLinks` and `updatedLinks`.
links.check reports each link's status, links.update reads modified files again and
links.relink points images at another file or at same-named files in a folder (each keeps its
bounds; one undo step). In the app, a document opened without its linked files asks about each
(Replace…, Ignore, Apply to All), then offers to update modified links when the preference asks.
The renderer caches previews apart from the file's pixels; the Eyedropper samples previews in
the object's pixel space.

As the branch does for older tests: `panic!("…")` instead of
`unreachable!()` in test code (clippy.toml only allows unwrap, expect and
panic there), and the integration tests main added (CLI file I/O, render

unwrap/expect/panic lints. No test logic changed.

With the Gradient tool on a freeform gradient the selected point shows its
spread as a dashed ring with a handle; dragging either sets the spread. A
point dragged out of the object is removed on release, and double-clicking a
point opens the gradientStop popover, which now edits the selected freeform
point (colour, opacity, spread). In Lines mode successive clicks draw one
smooth line (with a rubber band to the pointer); clicking an existing point
continues the line from it, and Escape or a click off the art ends it.

A CMYK document that shows transparency is drawn once per ink plane
(complemented C, M, Y; complemented K as a grey) so every blend mode,
opacity, group, knockout and effect composites inks, PDF-style; the
planes' inks are shown through the working CMYK profile (cached 4-D XYZ
table). Cyan multiplied over magenta now shows C100 M100. Opacity masks
keep screen luminance; RGB colours and placed images are separated
first. RGB documents and opaque CMYK documents keep the screen-colour
path.
PDF export of CMYK documents writes its transparency groups with
/CS /DeviceCMYK (luminosity mask groups stay RGB) and puts top-level
transparency in a non-isolated page-wide group so it blends in CMYK too.
Flatten Transparency composites CMYK documents ink by ink and makes CMYK
regions. Non-separable modes no longer give NaN for greys.

effects catalogue. Off, nothing painted changes size and type keeps its
character strokes' weight. Scale Corners off keeps live corner radii.
object.scale/transform/transformEach take strokes?/corners? (default: the
preferences) and journal the values they used. The Scale dialog and a new
Transform Each dialog get both checkboxes, kept as the preferences on OK;
the panels' toggles go through prefs.set.

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.

Paint given to a clipping path (paint commands with its id) now shows: its
fill paints inside the clip behind the clipped art and its stroke over the
art, unclipped, on the canvas and in SVG and PDF. Node::clip_paint splits the
clipping path into its fills and its strokes (type: its characters' too) for
all three outputs; the renderer caches the parts per clipping path. Clip group
visual bounds take in the stroke. Make Clipping Mask still leaves the clipping
path unpainted, as the reference app does; Ungroup no longer wipes a painted
clipping path's appearance (Release already kept it).

Paths and compound paths now measure their visual bounds along their shape:
the body (inside/outside alignment, the width profile's widest point), the
tips of the miter spikes the limit keeps, projecting caps' corners and the
arrowheads' reach. A rectangle's right-angle miters stay within half the
weight (Fit to Selected Art, Rasterize and all-art SVG export get tighter,
exact boxes); Appearance::outset is the conservative reach for anything else.
Clicks hit what the strokes paint: outside strokes outside the path (0.8 x the
weight out), inside ones inside, the profile's width where clicked, caps,
spikes and heads. Click culling keeps a cheap box (hit test 0.34 ms per click
on the 50k-path budget). The subpath/tangent helpers move from the stroke
geometry into vectorcraft_geom::bez so both share them; a cross-check test
holds every painted point of the real stroke geometry inside the bounds and
hittable.

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.

Freeform gradients carry their own points (colour, opacity, spread) and lines
(Catmull-Rom curves through points), blended by inverse-distance weighting
from each disc of pure colour. paint.editGradient {kind: "freeform", mode?}
places 4+ points inside the shape, coloured along the stops (which follow the
points' colours). The renderer samples the field on a cached colour grid
drawn as an image paint clipped by the fill or stroke. Moves, transforms,
box rebases and warps move the points; old files load unchanged.

A group's or layer's own fills and strokes paint every member's geometry, below or above the
members as the new contents slot (Appearance.contents_index) says; its geometry effects reshape
the members as one piece and its raster effects apply to the composite (one combined shadow),
respecting knockout groups. Type's own fills and strokes paint under or over its characters.
Render, SVG/PDF (via bake) and Expand Appearance evaluate them alike.
Commands: appearance.* / effect.* take target: "object"|"contents" and layer ids;
appearance.moveItem moves the Contents slot (from: "contents") or an item across it
(contents); appearance.targetContents selects a group's members. Graphic styles applied to a
group now style the group itself. The Appearance panel shows Contents/Characters rows that
drag, and double-click to target the members or edit the characters' paint.

layer.clippingMask.toggle {id?} -> {clip}: the top object of the current
layer (or of the one selected group, or of `id`) becomes the clipping path,
unpainted and moved to the bottom so art added later is clipped too; pressing
the button again releases the mask and leaves the path unpainted. One undo
step. The Layers panel button runs it and underlines clipping-path names.
Model: NodeKind::Layer.clip (skipped when false). Clipped layers render, hit
test, bound, and export to SVG and PDF like clip groups (Node::clips /
set_clips); the clip-path helpers are shared with Make/Release Clipping Mask.

On screen, a group (or object) with opacity, a blend mode, an opacity mask or
knockout whose content blends is drawn offscreen over a copy of its backdrop
and mixed back in by its opacity, mask and clip (a group blend mode then
applies to the backdrop-free result, as PDF defines it). Isolate Blending keeps
the content starting from transparency. Clip groups no longer isolate their
children (blending content is clipped per drawing), and non-isolated knockout
groups composite their elements against the art below the group. Groups
without blending inside still render as plain layers.
In PDF, such groups are written as non-isolated transparency groups (a
constant-alpha soft mask instead of the writer's isolated opacity group),
knockout groups included.

New Node.knockout_shape (transparency.set / object.setProps knockoutShape,
reported by transparency.info). In a knockout group such an object knocks
out only as much as its opacity and mask let through (a 50% object knocks
out 50%); otherwise its full coverage knocks out. The renderer, PDF and
SVG masks honour it, and the panel's checkbox is now live.

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.

Styles now store the object's opacity, blend mode, isolate and knockout and apply them.
New Graphic Style from a group without its own paint captures its topmost object's
appearance, and from type its characters' fill and stroke. Names are made unique.
graphicStyle.apply takes ids and add (Alt-click in the panel adds the style on top of the
existing appearance). graphicStyle.list reports every style. Applying links objects to a
stable style id (Node.graphic_style), which the management commands build on.
