A plug-in's dialog labelled each field with its parameter's name spaced
out ("Line_spacing_mm:"), showed numbers without their unit and listed
at most 64 parameters in one column. A plug-in with many settings, such
as a generator's or an exporter's, could neither explain nor sort them,
and its dialog showed settings that don't apply to the choices made.
Each parameter may now say how dialogs show it, in keys that hosts
from before them ignore (plugins::dialog):
- label; unit, after the value ("0.25 mm"); help, on the label; and
helpUrl, an https:// page opened from a button after the field.
- group: the parameters outside any group come first, then each group
as a section that folds, in the order the groups first appear, the
fields lined up down the dialog.
- visibleWhen: {"pattern": ["lines"]} shows a parameter only
while each checkbox or choice it names, declared before it, has one
of the values listed and is shown itself. Manifest::visible decides
every parameter in one pass, in declaration order. A hidden parameter
still goes to the plug-in with its value, so a run never depends on
what the dialog showed.
Two types join number, int, bool and choice: string, a text field cut
to maxLength, and numberList, numbers typed separated by commas or
spaces, each clamped, minItems to maxItems of them. A plug-in declares
up to 256 parameters, at most 64 outside groups. The filter, live-effect
and exporter dialogs use every key. The Appearance panel's editor of a
plug-in effect uses the labels, units, help and conditions, and reads a
typed number list as the dialog does.
dialog.rs tests parsing, the round trip of a manifest written out,
sections, visibility (also of 256 overlapping conditions, which a
recursive check would take forever on) and the keys refused;
manifest.rs the new types and limits. tests_plugin_fields.rs draws a
dialog with kittest: labels and units, sections in order with their
fields lined up, visibleWhen hiding and showing rows, and the help
button opening its page.
appearance.rs checks the editor's labels, units, conditions and a
typed number list, and form.rs units after numbers (a unit starting
with a digit is spaced from it) and typed lists.

A plug-in could filter objects or reshape them as a live effect, but
nothing it made could leave the app: pen plotters, cutting machines and
laser cutters read formats VectorCraft doesn't write. An exporter is a
third kind of plug-in ("kind": "exporter", with the file "extensions"
it writes), in the same sandbox and with the same ABI v1 exports.
- It adds a write-only format, plugin.<id>. document.formats lists it
with its plug-in id, and document.export writes it by that id, or by
a path ending in one of its extensions that no built-in format has;
"params" carries its parameters, checked against its manifest as a
filter's are.
- File › Export › Export As lists it after the built-in formats, with
Use Artboards greyed out, since the plug-in writes the whole
document. One with parameters asks for them in a dialog generated
from its schema (pluginExport) once the file is picked.
- The plug-in is given the native file's JSON (format::json_part:
images of 8 KiB or more without their data) and _context {mode:
"export", extension, name}. It returns {"dataBase64", "warnings"?}
or {"error"}. The host writes the file, and nothing when the plug-in
declines or returns bad data.
- An export gets 10 G instructions plus 4,000 per byte and 300 s.
Background Export's Cancel stops it between two slices of that
budget (Error::Cancelled), and a cancelled live-effect run is not
cached as a failure.
- plugin.run and Object › Plug-ins say where an exporter is instead of
calling it a live effect.
engine/tests/plugin_export.rs reads back what an exporter is handed
with wat::echo_exporter, an exporter whose file is its input or its
parameters (its base64 encoder is written in WAT). The document it is
given is document.save's JSON, without the large image's data, and its
parameters arrive defaulted, clamped and with the file's name and
extension. It also covers listing and removal, built-in extensions
winning, selectedOnly, declines, bad base64, missing data, warnings,
and Cancel stopping a plug-in that never returns. It is a test binary
of its own: installed plug-ins are process-wide, and the format-list
unit tests check exact lists. dialogs/tests_plugin_export.rs drives
Export As headlessly; plugins/tests/abi.rs covers the budget, the
parameters and the echo exporter; format/tests/native_v4.rs covers
json_part.

Export Selection… and the Asset Export panel open Export for Screens on the
Assets tab with the new assets checked, but new assets land at the end of
the list, so in a document with many assets the checked one sat below the
list's visible part and had to be scrolled to by hand. The list now scrolls
to the first checked asset when the dialog opens on them. It keeps asking
until the row is in view (the dialog's first frame only measures it), then
stops, so the list scrolls freely afterwards.
Squashed from #2533 onto #2525 (Smudge Stick, Sponge, Watercolor): both sets in PIXEL_EFFECTS (45), the catalogs and the docs, whose counts now read 45/57.
File › Export Selection… collected the selected objects one asset per
object, so a few ungrouped shapes picked to export together came out as
separate images unless they were grouped first. It now collects them as one
asset of them all (`assets.add {multiple: false}`), the selection exported
as one image; `file.exportSelection {multiple: true}` still makes one per
object, and Object › Collect for Export › As Multiple Assets and the Asset
Export panel's Multiple Assets item are unchanged.

A click with the Selection tool on a guide selected with objects makes
it the key (select.key {guide}), drawn thicker; a click on it again
cancels it. Align to Key Object is on with one object and a selected
guide and makes the guide the key. object.align lines the objects (or
selected anchors) up on the guide's line and leaves the guide where it
is: a vertical guide sets x only, a horizontal one y. The selection
keeps key_guide beside key, never both; it goes with the guide or the
objects, and follows the guide when earlier guides are deleted.
Distribute Spacing doesn't space from a key guide.
The list fills the panel down to its bottom bar and scrolls, also while a drag nears its top or
bottom edge (in the dock and in a flyout, as the Layers panel does).
Dragging in the list:
- an item (colour, text style or graphic) dropped on another of its kind lands just before or
after it, by the pointer's half, an accent line showing where, and joins that item's group;
- dropped elsewhere on a group (its header too, even collapsed) it goes into that group, and on
the ungrouped items out of its group, the section outlined; with every item grouped, a
"Drop here to take it out of its group" strip shows while one is dragged;
- a group dragged by its header goes before or after another group.
Colours and graphics still drag onto art and the canvas as before.
Engine: library.moveItem takes `before` / `after` (an item of the same kind) to place the item
in its kind's order, which the panel shows; the new library.moveGroup {group, to} moves a group.
Text styles drag as PanelDrag::LibraryItem, groups as PanelDrag::LibraryGroup, and a library
colour's Paint drag names its library item, so the panel tells it from a swatch dragged in.
Tests: reordering and moving in the engine, the commands in the library fuzz test, and panel
tests that drop styles and group headers and check the list scrolls and scrolls while dragging.
Strings translated in the 23 catalogs; docs/mcp.md and the parity row updated.

Each Recent Files row (history icon, name, folder) is now a single
button that paints the hover token behind it, shows a pointing hand and
keeps the full path as its tooltip; a click anywhere on it opens the
file. Before, only the frameless file name reacted, with no hover
feedback.
The Home screen's column now sits in a vertical scroll area, so a small
window or a long Recent Files list no longer hides the presets and
Community links below the fold. Widgets scrolled out of view are
clipped and take no pointer.
New warp effect dialogs seed bend, distortion and orientation from the
previous OK instead of catalog defaults; editing an applied warp is unchanged.

a_full_size_sheet_draws_only_what_is_in_view timed three frames of a
10,001 × 257 sheet and failed when they took 20 s or more, as they did
on a FreeBSD CI runner. The test now counts the buttons in the
screen-reader tree of the window. A graph of 40 categories and 40
series, whose 42 × 42 sheet is larger than the view both ways, draws
fewer buttons than its 41 × 41 filled cells, and a full-size sheet
draws the same number.

Fixes#2008
`shift_drag_snaps_a_stop_to_the_nearest_tick` landed while this branch was out
and asserts the tick an inch ruler used to carry: "the ticks are a tenth of an
inch (7.2 pt) apart", snapping 100 pt to 100.8. That tenth is what this change
removes -- an inch ruler divides the inch in half, not in ten.
The nearest tick to 100 pt is now 99 pt: 1 3/8 in, an eighth of an inch from
1 1/4. The test says so, and also asserts the result is a binary fraction of an
inch rather than a particular number, so it holds if the ladder is retuned.
A label on the left ruler is spelled one character per line, so a long one is
tall: "-0.0625" is seven characters and reaches 60.5 pt down the ruler, while a
sixteenth-inch step leaves 54 pt at zoom 12. Binary steps made such labels
reachable -- the decimal ladder's "-0.1" was four characters in an 86 pt gap --
so the ruler could draw one label over another.
A label that would start inside the one above it is left out. Every tick still
draws, as do the labels that fit, and `vertical_label_height` gives the reach
of a label so the decision is one comparison.
