These Object commands edited the document even when nothing changed, so
the call recorded an undo step, emptied Redo and marked the document
modified:
- object.align, object.distributeSpacing and object.distribute (three
or more objects) when no object moves. With one object selected,
Object › Align aligns it to its own bounds, so it recorded a step
every time. Calls on objects that were already aligned or evenly
spaced also recorded a step, including objects that an earlier Align
or Distribute left a rounding error away from the position the next
call computes.
- Move, Rotate, Scale, Shear, Transform and Nudge by an identity
transform without a copy, Transform Again after one, Set Bounds with
the current position and size, and a Selection tool drag that ends
where it started.
- Nudge by 0 with anchors direct-selected or with only ruler guides
selected, and Transform with nothing selected or with ids that name
no object, with or without a copy.
- Bring to Front and Bring Forward on objects already in front, Send to
Back and Send Backward on objects already at the back, and Send to
Current Layer on objects already on top of the current layer.
- Ungroup, Release Compound Path and Release Clipping Mask with none of
their objects selected, and Expand Shape with no live shape selected.
- Lock with every selected object already locked, Hide with every one
already hidden, Unlock All with nothing locked and Show All with
nothing hidden.
- object.setProps with the values the objects already have, or with no
object.
- object.setLiveShape with the values the shape already has: a
polygon's sides, angle, radius or equal sides, or a side length that
gives exactly its current radius; an ellipse's pie, including Invert
Pie on a whole ellipse; and a corner radius or kind that the corners
already have.
These commands now return without editing the document, and Align and
Distribute count a move of 1e-9 pt or less on both axes as none. Such a
call records no undo step, keeps the step to redo and leaves the
document unmodified. In these cases Ungroup no longer resets the
selection, and Release Compound Path, Unlock All and Show All no longer
empty it. A Transform with a copy of no object keeps the selection.
Lock and Hide still deselect the objects. A Nudge by 0 no longer
expands a live shape whose anchors are direct-selected. The replies
have the same form as before. An identity transform still sets what
Transform Again repeats. The journal still records each call, so the
Actions panel records it as before.
When every value given to Set Bounds is the current one, it now applies
the identity transform instead of the transform computed from those
values, which can differ from the identity by a rounding error on a
rotated object or with Use Preview Bounds.
When a drag comes back to its start, the identity preview no longer
edits the document. Session::preview now advances the revision when it
undoes the previous preview, so views redraw that drag.
The undo and redo row of docs/mcp.md now notes that many calls that
change nothing record no undo step, so undo after one undoes the step
before it.
A character attribute (Character panel menu with the East Asian options;
`text.setFormat` / `text.setRangeStyle {proportionalMetrics}`), saved only
when on. In horizontal type it applies `palt`; vertical type sets as before
until the vertical shaping change (`vpal`) follows.
Line-end Punctuation Half Width takes nothing more off the punctuation
`palt` re-spaced (the flush opening bracket, consecutive punctuation, the
line-end half width): the segment is shaped once more without `palt`, and
the glyphs whose advance differs are marked. Punctuation the font leaves
full width is trimmed as before. SVG writes `"palt" 1` with the
character's other features.

After scaling 12 pt type 2x, the Character panel still showed 12 pt and
typing 10 pt gave 20 pt type. Character controls and text commands now
work in document points: the size, leading and baseline shift shown and
set are the stored ones times the text's scale along its em height, and
horizontal scale includes the ratio of the transformed em axes. Rotation,
reflection and shear stay in the transform, so text remains editable.
Groups' text counts, keyboard increments use the same units, Shrink
Text to Fit works in document tenths, and a collapsed transform rejects
dimensional edits without touching the document.
text.getRange takes effective: true for the document-space values.
A .ai in PostScript form went only to the PostScript interpreter, which
stopped on the first operator its missing prolog would define
(`Adobe_packedarray`, `Lb`, `Np`): files from Rhino and other CAD apps name
the procsets without including them.
- Such a program is its own editing data: when it has layers
(`%AI5_BeginLayer`) and no private data, the editing-data reader reads it,
compared with the page when the program runs, from the layers alone when
it can't be run. If the layers can't be read either, the error says why.
- The reader takes the legacy ten-operand `Lb`, ignores flatness `i`, and
uses the bounding box as the page when nothing else says where it is.
- Tests on synthetic files; fuzz fixture and hostile-program layers added.

- Guides on a hidden or locked layer leave the selection (Selection::prune,
run after every edit and selection change), their Layers rows neither
select nor drag them, and guide.move / guide.remove / guide.setLayer
refuse them; guide.setLayer refuses a locked target layer, as dragged
rows are refused there.
- A new guide goes where new art goes (the current layer, else the top
shown and unlocked one; refused when there is none), so it never lands
on a hidden layer and vanishes.
- Layer commands keep guides with their layers: Duplicate (and Alt-drag
copies of rows) copy a layer's guides onto the copy, Merge Selected and
Flatten Artwork put the merged layers' guides on the merged layer and
Flatten discards a hidden layer's. One shared doc predicate for "the
layer a guide is on"; the deleted-layer cleanup moves into the doc.

old guide reads with no layer and none is written, and a headless
Layers panel test of guide rows (select, drag to another layer, locked).

Guide rows in the Layers panel drag (the selected guides when the row is

The link watch wakes the app every two seconds only while the last look
found links (068a934, #967). A file placed less than two seconds after a
look that found none asked for no more frames, so while the window sat
idle nothing stamped it; a change made meanwhile was taken for the file
as first seen and never acted on. The watch now remembers the active
document's uid and revision at each look and, when they differ on a
later frame, asks for one wake when the next look is due. There is
still no per-frame walk of the links, and no two-second wakes for a
document without links.

The menu item sends no artboard, so the engine fell back to the first one even with another
active in the Artboards panel.
The frontend fills in the active artboard (the view's, as the Artboards panel and navigator
show it) for select.allOnArtboard, as it already did for Paste in Place / in Front / in Back
(#693); the two now share one block, and the index is kept within the artboards. An explicit
artboard still wins; the engine is unchanged.
The test makes artboard 2 active, then 1, and invokes the menu item each time, then passes
artboard 1 explicitly with artboard 1 active.

It now renders the 0-based `artboard` (the first without one, an error for one that doesn't
exist), as headless does. control-protocol.md and the control.rs list show the parameter.
The test drives ui.render through the control channel on a 64 x 64 and a 96 x 48 artboard:
no index and 0 give 64 x 64, 1 gives 96 x 48 (48 x 24 at scale 0.5), 2 is an error.

With every layer hidden or locked, the insertion layer fell back to the top layer anyway, so
drawing a shape, typing, pasting, making a graph, a flare, a grid, trim marks or a symbol put
the art on a hidden or locked layer: invisible, or unselectable by Select All. Illustrator
refuses to draw on a locked or hidden target layer (public forum answers, e.g.
https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator/can-t-draw-a-new-object-in-my-document/m-p/11107182).
DocState::target_parent is insertion_parent for new art, failing with "the target layer is
locked or hidden" when it would be a layer that isn't editable; those creation paths use it.
Another layer that is shown and unlocked still takes the art, as before. The message is in the
de, es, fr, it, ja, ru and uk catalogs. File > Place is left as it is (another branch reworks
it).
The test hides, then locks, the only layer: an ellipse, a polar grid, text and a paste each
fail with the message and leave the document unchanged; a new layer then takes a rectangle.

The PR kept a field's integer kind only while its value had been an
integer: typing 2.5 in Columns and then 3 sent 3.0, and the mosaic fell

an integer (`typed_number`) whatever the field held before; commands
that take any number read integers as well, and a fraction stays one.

Eight raster effects on the pixel-filter pipeline
(vectorcraft_effects::pixel::brushstrokes), under a new Effect › Brush
Strokes submenu between Blur and Distort in the Raster Effects section:
- Accented Edges (edgeWidth pt 1..14, default 2; edgeBrightness 0..50,
38; smoothness 1..15, 5): the edges of the softened object painted
towards white chalk at high brightness or black ink at low brightness;
Smoothness also leaves the faint edges out. The shape stays as it was.
- Angled Strokes (directionBalance 0..100, 50; strokeLength pt 3..50, 15;
sharpness 0..10, 3): light areas in right diagonal strokes, dark areas
in left diagonal ones; 0 makes every stroke a left diagonal, 100 every
stroke a right diagonal. Sharpness brings detail and bristles back.
- Crosshatch (strokeLength pt 3..50, 9; sharpness 0..20, 6; strength
1..3, 1): the detail kept under pencil hatching along both diagonals,
Strength passes of it, the edges roughened.
- Dark Strokes (balance 0..10, 5; blackIntensity 0..10, 6;
whiteIntensity 0..10, 2): short strokes towards black in the dark
areas, long strokes towards white in the light areas.
- Ink Outlines (strokeLength pt 1..50, 4; darkIntensity 0..50, 20;
lightIntensity 0..50, 10): black outlines over the edges, ink hatching
in the shadows, shadows darkened and highlights lightened.
- Spatter (sprayRadius pt 0..25, 10; smoothness 1..15, 5): each pixel
shifted by noise up to 0.4 x the radius; Smoothness makes the grains
larger and smoother.
- Sprayed Strokes (strokeLength pt 0..20, 12; sprayRadius pt 0..25, 7;
strokeDirection Right Diagonal, Horizontal, Left Diagonal or Vertical):
strokes along the direction, scattered by up to 0.3 x the radius.
- Sumi-e (strokeWidth pt 3..15, 10; strokePressure 0..15, 2; contrast
0..40, 16): wet strokes, ink bleeding from the darks along paper
fibres, more ink with pressure and an S-curve contrast for rich blacks.
It works in value only: hues and saturation stay, and so does the
object's shape (no fringe in the transparency).
A stroke averages the colour along a segment through the pixel (16
samples at most, the art softened first when they lie more than a pixel
apart); strokes lie in rows around the object's centre, each row
starting at random and each stroke shifted along itself, with streaked
noise for the bristles. Everything is in document space, so the effects
look the same at any zoom or resolution, move with the object and draw
the same every time; outsets and reaches are exact. On a 2000 x 2000
raster in release the slowest settings take 0.3-2.0 s (Crosshatch at
50 pt with 3 passes the most).
Shared helpers instead of copies: edges::sobel (Glowing Edges now uses
it, unchanged), distort::displace and texture::Tones are pub(super).
Catalogue rows with parameter docs, menu entries, Sprayed Strokes'
direction dropdown, translations (de, es, fr, it, ja, ru, uk, zh-hans,
zh-hant; menu labels in cs and pt-br), tests (parameters and clamping,
outsets and reaches, each filter and option showing, chalk and ink on

Select Bound Object ran variable.unbind on the selection, so choosing it silently
removed the bindings; Delete Variable and Delete Data Set deleted every row. Now
the panel keeps a highlighted variable row (a click highlights and selects what
it drives, as the reference panel does): Select Bound Object selects what the
highlighted variable drives via select.set, Delete Variable deletes only it, and
Delete Data Set deletes only the current set. Variable Options and Rename Data
Set open their dialogs preselected with the highlighted variable / active set
(the double-click used to invoke variable.rename with a bare name, which only
errored). Unbind enables only over a bound selection; Make Text Dynamic only for
exactly one type object.
The highlight is per-document session state with its own command
(variable.highlight, no undo step, like layer.highlight): rename carries it,
delete clears it when stale. New engine tests (18) and panel tests cover the
reviewer's regression case, verified to fail on the old wiring.
Opening the panel from the Window menu worked, but collapsing the dock did not
show it: `ICON_PANELS` only registers a panel (so `window.panel` finds it) while
`ICON_PANEL_GROUPS` is what the collapsed column actually draws, and `variables`
was in the first list only. Sixteen panels are registered without a group; for
the ones meant to live in the column, the entry in `ICON_PANELS` alone is not
enough.
`variables` gets a row of its own at the bottom of the column, where the
reference app keeps it. Both lists now say which is which, so the next panel
does not repeat this, and a test asserts a registered panel reaches the column
(it fails without the group entry) and that every grouped id names a registered
panel with an icon.
`floating.rs`'s icon test counted the column's icons, which only means
"one left" while the column is tall enough to show them all — past that, one
scrolling into view replaces the one that left. It runs on a window tall enough
for every icon now, and checks the count is the number of registered groups'
icons rather than a number that happens to pass.
Dragging a panel into the icon column still doesn't work, and is not something
this PR changes: tearing a panel off makes it float, for every panel. Docking it
back into the column would be a dock feature of its own.
cargo xtask ci: all 7 steps pass on Rust 1.99.
The engine side was called a solid base, but the panel could only list and
apply: variables and datasets were made through commands, which most people
won't find. The reference app's Variables workflow is now what the panel does,
and every button runs a `variable.*` / `dataset.*` command, so the panel and an
agent drive the document the same way.
New commands (all also in Window › Variables, the palette and over MCP):
- `variable.makeTextDynamic` / `variable.makeVisibilityDynamic`: define a
variable of that kind over the selection, named after what it drives, and
bind it — one step, as the panel's two buttons.
- `dataset.capture`: record what the bound objects hold right now as a new row
("Data Set 1"… ) and make it active. This, rather than typing values, is how
rows are made: change the art, then capture.
- `dataset.update`: write what the art holds now into the active row. Without
an active row it says so rather than picking one.
- `variable.rename` / `dataset.rename` (Variable Options…, Rename Data Set…):
a name is how a variable is referred to, so renaming carries its bindings and
its values in every row with it.
- `dataset.list` reports `matches` per row: whether the art still holds what
that row says.
`Document::captured_values` is the one place that reads a bound object's value,
so capture, update and the drift check can't disagree about what the art says.
Panel: the current data set across the top as a dropdown with ◀ ▶; variable
rows with their kind's icon and the name of the object they drive ("Multiple
objects" when it is more than one), a click selecting it and a double click
opening Variable Options; a dataset row in italics once an edit has moved the
art away from what it says; Make Text/Visibility Dynamic, New, Unbind and Delete
below, Capture and Update on a second line; and a (≡) menu with the same
commands for the ones that act on a row rather than the selection.
Checked on Rust 1.99 (the current stable), which is what the review asked for:
cargo xtask ci, all 7 steps pass.
Review of #761 turned up three real defects and a feature that was visible
but not usable. All of it is fixed here, each defect with a regression test
that fails without the fix.
- A binding outlived the object it named. Deleting art left its entry in
`variables.bindings` forever: it counted as a skip in every dataset
application, `variable.list` counted it, and the saved file grew with every
delete. `Document::prune_variable_bindings` now lets them go after each
edit, as `prune_assets` does for Asset Export's.
- `Variables::prune` cleared `active_dataset` by comparing it against the
*variable* names being deleted. A dataset named like a variable lost its
active state when the variable went. The two are separate namespaces; the
block is gone (dataset.delete already did it right).
- `variable.delete` reported the number of names asked for, not the number
deleted, so deleting a name that was not there still said `deleted: 1`.
- `dataset.set` (new): a dataset's values could only be set when it was
created, so changing one meant deleting and rebuilding the row — losing its
place in the list and the active one. This replaces the row's values and
reports what it dropped.
- Window › Variables, and dialogs for the "…" commands. Every command had an
empty menu path and the command palette runs those with `{}`, so nothing
could be defined from the UI at all. The commands now carry their menu
path, the "…" ones open a Variables dialog (a name and a kind; a name and a
field per variable, its kind's editor), and `dataset.set` opens with the
row's own values.
- Locked art is neither bound nor rewritten by a dataset, and says so.
- `set_plain_text` told a node that existed but was not type that it was
missing.
- The panel had Document Info's icon, so the two were indistinguishable in
the collapsed column; it gets its own, plus New/Delete buttons, and its
rows say what their count is.
Format round trips now cover variables (the testkit fixture defines both
kinds, binds them and applies a row), and ROADMAP/README no longer list the
feature as missing.
cargo xtask ci: all 7 steps pass.
Three raster effects on the pixel-filter pipeline
(vectorcraft_effects::pixel::distort), under a new Effect › Distort
submenu between Blur and Pixelate in the Raster Effects section (the
vector Distort & Transform stays its own submenu):
- Diffuse Glow (graininess 0..10, default 6; glowAmount 0..20, 10;
clearAmount 0..20, 15): the highlights, softened over 2 points, glow
white from the brightness Clear Amount leaves clear; white grain as
dense as Graininess says is sprinkled over the object, thicker in the
glow. Transparency stays as it was.
- Glass (distortion 0..20, 5; smoothness 1..15, 3; texture Blocks,
Canvas, Frosted or Tiny Lens, default Frosted; scaling % 50..200, 100;
invert): the object seen through a glass surface; each pixel takes the
colour the surface's slope bends it to, sampled between pixels. Slopes
are taken over a span Smoothness widens. The surfaces are made in code
(Canvas is Texturizer's weave); Load Texture is left out.
- Ocean Ripple (rippleSize 1..15, 9; rippleMagnitude 0..20, 9): smooth
noise ripples about Ripple Size + 2 points across shift the object by
up to 0.03 x magnitude x their size.
The shifts are capped, so the effects' outsets and reaches are exact,
and every surface lies in document space around the object's centre:
the same at any zoom or resolution, moving with the object, identical
on every redraw.
Catalogue rows with parameter docs, menu entries, the Texture dropdown,
translations (and German's missing Canvas), tests (parameters and
clamping, outsets, each texture and Invert, the ripples' reach, the glow

choices, and counts it sends back as floats are read.
Own choices, as the page doesn't say: the lengths are none, short (the
4 pt ticks as before) and full (across the plot); category axes start
with no tick marks, as they had none before. Counts are capped at 20
per division and 10,000 category tick marks, affixes at one line of 64
characters. A full-length tick on the zero line or an axis line is left
out.
The legend moves past a bar graph's last value label when a suffix
runs it into the legend's gap. New fields are written only when set;
graphs with the default options draw the same art as before.
The generic Graph Type dialog showed `valueAxis` as a text field. It now
lists On Left Side, On Right Side and On Both Sides, translated in the
complete catalogs, with a test that the choices match the command's
params and that OK moves the axis. ROADMAP Last updated.

Pixelate, Texture and Video raster effects, Libraries groups, search,
import and export, Update Changed Links, System Title Bar, Scatter, Art
and Pattern Brush Options with Colorization, and the PSD messages, in
the catalog's own conventions. ROADMAP Last updated.

Add the German catalog: every menu string, every `tl!` literal, the plural
forms and the status and error messages (3,818 rows), written from the meaning
of the English labels in the vocabulary German-speaking users of vector
illustration software know (Zeichenfläche, Farbfelder, Kontur, Fläche, Pfad,
Ankerpunkt, Ebene, Verlauf, Deckkraft). Conventions are in the header of
`de.tsv`.
- Register `de` ("Deutsch") in `i18n::LANGUAGES` as a complete language; every
`de-*` locale (`de-DE`, `de-AT`, `de-CH` …) resolves to it.
- Tests: German joins the menu-label, menu-string, `tl!`-literal and message
coverage checks; `german_reads_as_german` pins the core vocabulary, the
plurals, a nested message, the joined "…format" style names and the theme
context ("Erscheinungsbild" vs the Appearance panel's "Aussehen"); ä ö Ä Ö ß
are checked in the bundled UI fonts. The "unsupported locale" cases use
Dutch now that German is supported.
- README, ROADMAP and docs/development.md list German.

- Preferences hides System Title Bar on macOS and the web, where it did
nothing (it fell through to the plain checkbox row), and lists it with
the window options instead of under Language.
- The next-launch note reuses "Applies the next time VectorCraft starts."
instead of a second wording in every catalog.
- A new window title asks for one more frame: AppKit lays the title bar
out again for it, and the next frame centres the window buttons (#968).
- The menu bar drops the bold branch for the VectorCraft menu it no
longer shows; theme is imported where the tests use it.
- Docs: Language is Preferences › User Interface › Language (VectorCraft
› Language on macOS); the control protocol describes System Title Bar;

AppKit places close, minimize and zoom in a standard title bar, shorter
than the 44-point app bar they sit over, so they rode high on it. They
are now moved to the middle of the bar, inset from its left as far as
from its top, with the title bar container made as tall as the bar so
they stay clickable. AppKit lays the title bar out again on resize and
when leaving full screen, so the placement runs every frame and sets a
frame only when it is out of place. The app bar keeps the room the
buttons take, measured, instead of a fixed 78 points.

The effect dialog showed Inner Glow's `source` as a text field, so the
only way to pick Center was to type the parameter value. It now lists
Center and Edge like the other fields that pick one of a few values.

The link watch checks the active document's linked files every two
seconds and as the window comes back to the front, so the separate check
on focus that #925 added (missing_links::after_focus and its asked-files
set) goes: with both, a change was acted on twice. The watch also
walks the document's links only when a look is due, not every frame, and
wakes the app every two seconds only while the document has links. The
doc comments of status and links::groups are back on their functions.

Linked files another app changes while their document is open now follow
Preferences > File Handling > Update Links, as they do when it opens:
Automatically reads them again (an Update Links undo step), Ask When
Modified offers to (a question worded for files changed on disk while
working), Manually leaves them modified in the Links panel.
The desktop app stamps the active document's linked files (size +
modification time) on a worker thread every two seconds and when its
window comes back to the front; no look starts while a dialog is open.
Stamps are kept per document; a change is acted on once; a file still
being written is tried again. links.updateChanged reads changed files
again regardless of the preference (CLI, MCP).
New strings translated in all ten catalogs; ROADMAP updated.
