Ayberk A. 8894da68d7 Part of #1736: one toolbar column runs on without group labels too
Without group labels, the single column no longer draws a dash between
the groups: its tools are evenly spaced from top to bottom, as two
columns already run on from group to group. With the labels, each group
still starts under its name.

Ayberk A. cdd656bd48 Part of #1736: two toolbar columns run on without group labels, and the drawer stays under the title bar
- Without group labels, the double-column toolbar fills every row: a
  group no longer starts a half-empty row, as the reference's Basic
  toolbar runs on in two columns. One column keeps its faint dashes, and
  with the labels each group still starts its own row under its name.
- The All Tools drawer, now a tall single column, never goes above the
  toolbar's top: on macOS it ran under the window's buttons. Its scroll
  height is what is left from there to the window's bottom.

Ayberk A. 03c0b8f355 Part of #1736: the toolbar without group labels, and the All Tools drawer's groups, flyout menu and Show section
- Preferences › User Interface › Show Tool Group Labels is off as it
  ships: the toolbar sets its groups apart with a faint dash, as the
  Basic and Advanced toolbars of the public toolbar reference do (the
  categories there are the Getting Started toolbar's). It no longer cuts
  "Navigate" to "Navi...". The labels are a preference away.
- The All Tools drawer lists the tools one per row (icon, full name,
  shortcut on the right), each flyout group framed together under the
  heading most of its tools have (the Pencil's group, led by the Shaper,
  under Draw). Tools already in the toolbar stay dimmed; dragging and
  picking are as before.
- Its ☰ menu has Reset and the Basic and Advanced toolbars, the drawer's
  flyout menu of the reference.
- Its Show section shows or hides the controls under the toolbar's tools
  (Fill and Stroke, Coloring, Draw Mode, Screen Mode), as the reference
  describes; `toolbar.show {control?, on?}`, saved with the preferences
  (`ui.toolbar_show`, all on for older ones). Edit Toolbar's ••• stays.
- New strings in every catalog.

is VectorCraft's own, with its own icons).

bflatastic c49fb30032 Fix #1616: a tool flyout is as wide as its longest translated row
A flyout's rows were 250 pt wide whatever they held, so in Spanish (and
other languages with long tool names) a name ran into its shortcut. The
rows are now as wide as the longest name and shortcut need, and never
narrower than before.

Ayberk A. 5a8682e45d Toolbar: centre the tool buttons inside the panel's border
The buttons were placed (WIDTH - 36) / 2 from the panel's content edge, but
the docked panel's content is narrower than WIDTH: the 1.5 pt frame stroke on
both sides and the 1 pt separator line egui reserves on the right leave 44 pt.
So the single column sat 6.5 pt from the left border and 1.5 pt from the right
(2.5 pt right of centre), and the double column's second button ran over the
right border. Centre each row on the panel's inside instead, and widen the
double column to 80 pt so its two buttons fit with 2 pt either side.

bflatasticandClaude Opus 5.5 539759429c #1018: Edit Toolbar opens a drawer beside the toolbar; tools drag in and out
The ••• button at the bottom of the toolbar no longer opens All Tools as a
centred dialog. It opens the All Tools drawer beside the toolbar, next to the
button. Escape or a click outside closes it; a click in the toolbar doesn't.
Tools that are already in the toolbar show dimmed in the drawer.

While the drawer is open the toolbar can be edited, as the public
documentation describes:
- drag a tool from the drawer onto a toolbar button's top or bottom edge
  (left or right edge in two columns) to put it in its own slot there;
- drag it onto a button's middle to add it to that button's group;
- drag a toolbar button into the drawer to take its tool out;
- drag a toolbar button to another place in the toolbar to move its tool.
A line or outline shows where the tool will go, and the dragged tool follows
the pointer. While the drawer is closed the toolbar can't be edited.

The Basic and Advanced toolbars each keep their own edits in
UiState::toolbar_edits, which is saved with the preferences. It is serde
default, so older preferences still load, and a hand-edited file is cleaned
up when it loads. An edit that brings back the default toolbar clears the
saved edits. New UI commands toolbar.addTool {tool, slot?, place?},
toolbar.removeTool {tool, group?}, toolbar.reset and
window.editToolbar {open?} let MCP and the control channel make the same
edits. The drawer also has a Reset button.

The drawer moved from dialogs/all_tools.rs into the new edit_toolbar.rs. It
is tested with headless egui frame tests driven by pointer events (placement,
Escape, click outside, dimming, drag and drop in each direction, the locked
toolbar), along with command, persistence and drop-zone tests. The three new
command labels are translated in every complete catalog, and the error
messages reuse existing translated templates.

bflatasticandClaude Opus 5.5 b9aca50c3c #1129: the toolbar's paint buttons fit its width
The Fill/Stroke proxy stayed 36 pt and the Color, Gradient and None
buttons 7.5 pt in both toolbar layouts, so in two columns they sat small
in a wide strip and were hard to hit (in one column too). The proxy is
now 54 pt in two columns, the three buttons 11 pt in one column and
17 pt in two, and in two columns Draw Normal, Draw Behind and Draw
Inside sit side by side, each setting its mode (view.drawMode {mode}),
as Illustrator's two-column toolbar shows them; one column keeps the
button that cycles them.

bflatasticandClaude Opus 5.5 990d869897 Part of #812: more tools open their options on a double-click
Double-clicking a tool's button (or tool.options {tool}) now also opens:
- Artboard tool: Artboard Options of the active artboard (the Artboard
  tool's while it is in use, else the window's);
- the graph tools: Graph Type for the selected graph (an error without
  one), the dialog Object > Graph > Type opens;
- the Symbolism tools: Symbolism Tools Options with the brush the eight
  tools share (Diameter, Intensity, Symbol Set Density);
- Magic Wand: the Magic Wand panel.

The Object > Graph dialogs' opener is shared with the toolbar. The new
labels are translated in the eight complete catalogs.

bflatasticandClaude Opus 5.5 ae27d899b8 Part of #812: Flare Tool Options last and open from the toolbar
The Flare tool keeps its options (Center: Diameter, Opacity, Brightness;
Halo: Growth, Fuzziness; Rays: on/off, Number, Longest, Fuzziness; Rings:
on/off, Path, Number, Largest, Direction) as persistent tool options,
saved with the preferences. The next flare dragged out uses them (the drag
still sets the centre and diameter, and Up/Down the ray count), a click
with the tool opens them filled in, and double-clicking the tool (or
tool.options {tool: "flare"}) opens them to edit: OK keeps them and draws
nothing. Before, the click dialog was the generic parameter form with
fixed defaults and the drag always used the command's defaults.

The new Flare Tool Options dialog lays the four groups out in two
columns; Rays and Rings have their checkboxes, and every value is kept
within its range. Its labels are translated in the eight complete
catalogs.

bflatasticandClaude Opus 5.5 a262ee5c9e Fix #807: All Tools shows every tool with its icon, under headings
The toolbar's All Tools drawer listed the tools' names as plain buttons.
It now shows each tool with its icon and name in a grid, under the
toolbar's group headings (Select, Shapes, Draw, Modify, Type, Navigate,
Color) and headings for the tools only the Advanced toolbar shows
(Perspective, Symbols, Graph, Artboards, Slices). The active tool is
highlighted, a tool's tooltip gives its name and shortcut, and picking one
selects it and closes the drawer. The headings use labels translated
already.

bflatasticandClaude Opus 5.5 4b44265965 Fix #734: Crop Image shows a crop box on the image
Object › Crop Image and the image's Crop Image buttons (Control bar,
Properties) now show a crop box on the selected image, as Illustrator
does, instead of cropping straight to the artboard (which did nothing for
an image inside its artboard). The box starts on the image's part over its
artboard; its handles and its inside drag it, always within the image, and
the image outside it is dimmed. The Control bar shows its X/Y/W/H with
Apply and Cancel; Enter applies and Escape cancels, both back to the
Selection tool. Apply runs object.cropImage {rect}, one undo step.

- tools: the Crop Image tool (cropimage.rs), with crop_box shared by the
  tool and the Control bar.
- ui: ui.cropImage (enabled with an image selected), the Control bar's
  crop fields and buttons, "Apply" translated (es, fr, it, ru, uk, ja,
  zh-hans, zh-hant).

HTandClaude Opus 5.5 f2b35fc039 Fix #602: Scale Artwork with Artboard scales the art with a resized artboard
`artboard.setProps {scaleArt: true}` maps the art fully inside a resized
artboard (as Move Artwork with Artboard gathers it) and its artboard guides
from the old rectangle onto the new one, each side by its own ratio, in one
undo step, and returns the ids scaled. Strokes, effects and corners follow
Scale Strokes & Effects and Scale Corners (`strokes`, `corners`), pattern tiles
Transform Pattern Tiles (`patterns`); locked and hidden art follows
`lockedAndHidden` (default: prefs moveLockedWithArtboard). The resolved choices
are journaled, so a replay scales the same objects the same way. A move that
keeps the size scales nothing.

The Artboard tool's `scaleArt` option (saved with `moveArt`) makes handle
drags proportional, as the public help describes, keeps them proportional at
the 1 pt minimum, and leaves the scaled art out of the Smart Guide targets.
Move and Scale Artwork with Artboard are check boxes in the Control bar and
Properties' Edit Artboards; the artboard size fields there and in the
Transform panel pass the option. Translated in the eight catalogs that have
Move Artwork with Artboard. docs/mcp.md and the ROADMAP updated.

bflatasticandClaude Opus 5.5 aefd961bbd Fix #494: Pen + Cmd edits the path being drawn; Pen + Alt reshapes segments; handle drags fixed and fast
Reported: with the Pen there was no way to edit curves in place as Ctrl does in Illustrator on
Windows (Cmd on the Mac), segments couldn't be grabbed, and the curve-editing tools felt slow and
sometimes didn't take a handle.

- Cmd/Ctrl held at a press with any tool but a selection tool now borrows the selection tool in the
  engine (Session::pointer), not in the canvas: the selection tool chosen last, or Direct Selection
  for the Pen, Curvature and anchor tools until one is chosen. The tool lent to isn't deactivated,
  so the Pen goes on drawing its path after the release while that path stays selected; it no
  longer draws on another open path selected meanwhile. Agents reach it with pointer_gesture
  mods.cmd. With Cmd held the pointer is the borrowed tool's. Choosing a tool or switching
  documents mid-gesture gives the tool back first.
- Pen + Alt over a segment of a selected path reshapes it, as the Anchor Point tool does.
- The handles shown are the handles that drag (one helper for Direct Selection, the Anchor Point
  tool and Pen + Alt): Direct Selection now drags the handles of a path selected as a whole (as
  the Pen leaves it, so Cmd + drag of a handle while drawing works), the Anchor Point tool no
  longer grabs handles that Show handles when multiple anchors are selected hides, the nearest
  handle wins, and a handle shorter than the tolerance leaves its anchor to be picked. The anchor
  tools pick within Selection & Anchor Display > Tolerance instead of a fixed 4 px.
- path.reshapeSegment keeps a smooth anchor at either end smooth (its other handle turns with the
  moved one) instead of kinking it.
- A dragged handle gathered its smart guide targets from the whole document on every pointer move
  (21 ms per move on 20,000 paths): HandleSnap now gathers them once per drag (1 ms).
  vectorcraft-cli perf measures handle and segment drags on a 5,000-anchor path.
- catalog::is_selection_tool and catalog::edits_anchors replace the UI's own lists.
- Tests in tools, engine and MCP (headless pointer_gesture); docs/mcp.md, control-protocol.md,
  ROADMAP.

bflatasticandClaude Opus 5.5 ea1993c848 Fix #495: panels, panel groups and the Tools panel undock into floating panels
Nothing could be undocked: the dock's tabs only switched panels, the icon
column only popped its panels out next to it, and only tool flyouts
(#437) could float.

- A dock tab, a panel icon or a popped-out panel's title dragged out of
  the dock floats that panel inside the app window; the strip right of
  the dock's tabs floats the whole Properties | Layers | Libraries group.
- A floating group moves by its title bar (or the strip right of its
  tabs); a tab dragged out of it floats on its own; dropped on another
  group's title bar or tabs it stacks with that group; dropped on the
  dock, which lights up under the pointer, its panels go back where they
  live in the dock (tabbed group or icon column). Its x does the same.
- The Tools panel floats by its title bar or grip and docks again on the
  window's left edge, which lights up the same way.
- window.panel.float {panel, x?, y?, onto?, group?} and window.panel.dock
  {panel, group?} (panel "tools" for the Tools panel) for the control
  channel and MCP; every panel menu ends with Float Panel / Dock Panel;
  window.panel on a floating panel shows its tab.
- Floating groups and the Tools panel's position are kept with the
  preferences and in user workspaces (built-ins dock everything),
  sanitized on load, and clamped into a smaller window when drawn.
- One move state in egui temp memory drives every drag, so a tab torn off
  keeps following the pointer; per frame the work is a lookup per panel.
- Icon buttons can be drawn for a caller's response (paint_icon_button),
  so the column's icons keep their ids when one above them floats.
- Translations (ja, es, zh-hans, zh-hant; cs and pt-br for the commands),
  es @msg rows, docs/control-protocol.md and ROADMAP.

bflatasticandClaude Opus 5.5 297f6e93d3 Fix #455: the toolbar's double arrow and Window › Toolbars switch one/two columns
The toolbar went to two columns whenever the window was shorter than the
single column (about 990 pt for Basic, more for Advanced), so on most
screens it was always double and the double arrow and the Window menu item
flipped a flag nothing read. The column count is now the user's choice
alone; a window too short for the tools scrolls them (#84).

- window.toolbarColumns takes {double?: bool} (set or toggle, returns the
  new state) and reports `checked`; the double arrow runs it.
- The Window › Toolbars item reads "Double Column" with a check mark;
  catalogs updated (cs, es, ja, pt-br, zh-hans, zh-hant) and an es @msg row
  for the new error.
- Headless tests: the arrow and the command toggle the column count in a
  700 pt window (both fail on main).

bflatasticandClaude Opus 5.5 97906f2104 Toolbar: a click on the tear-off bar floats the group, window.floatTools, strips in workspaces (review of #437)
- A click on a flyout's tear-off bar, or the release of the long press
  that opened it over the bar, tears the flyout off too, as in
  Illustrator; dragging it still does.
- window.floatTools {tool, floating?} floats or puts back the group
  holding a tool, for the control channel and MCP's invoke_menu.
- Floating strips are part of user workspaces; the built-in ones float
  none, so Reset puts them back.
- Loaded preferences keep one strip per group, of known tools.
- No per-frame clone of the strips or copy of the active tool's id.

Michael GiesonandClaude Opus 5.5 dcc8a24f66 Toolbar: tool flyouts tear off into floating toolbars
A grab bar runs down the right side of a tool group's flyout. Dragging it
tears the flyout off: the group floats as a strip of its tools' buttons
(the active one lit, each tool's name and shortcut in its tool tip), with
the bar on its right. The same bar moves the strip, and the × at the top
of the bar puts the group back in the toolbar. While a group floats, the
presses that would open its flyout (right, long or corner press) raise
the strip and flash its border instead, so a group is never both a
flyout and a floating strip. Floating strips are kept with the UI
preferences and kept on screen.

A right press opens the flyout on the press instead of on the release,

theironchefandClaude Sonnet 5.5 02582f318d Fix #388: Pencil, Paintbrush, Smooth, Blob Brush and Eraser Tool Options on double-click
The five freehand tools keep options (Fidelity, fill, the two
tolerances, the brush size) that last across tool switches and are
saved with the preferences, but nothing in the window showed or changed
them: a double-click on the tool's button answered "the pencil tool has
no options", which the toolbar drops. It now opens a Tool Options dialog
with the options the tool has, and OK sets them with tool.setOption. The
dialog's strings are in the Japanese, Chinese (both scripts) and
Brazilian Portuguese catalogs.

The Rotate, Scale, Reflect and Shear tools answer Enter with their
dialog, but the shortcut handler only applied what a tool asks of the
UI for the keys it claims, so the request was dropped and Enter did
nothing. It now applies it for Enter, and consumes the key when a
dialog opened, since a dialog takes Enter as its OK in the same frame.

The Selection, Direct Selection and Group Selection tools open the
Move dialog the same way, on Enter and on a double-click on their
toolbar button (`tool.options`), as Object > Transform > Move does.
With nothing selected neither opens anything.

WildfootWandClaude Fable 5.1 902c3ae8c1 i18n: UI localisation framework and a Traditional Chinese (zh-hant) catalog
Strings in code stay English and are the lookup keys; `crates/ui-egui/src/i18n`
maps them to display text at render time from one `*.tsv` catalog per language
(`LANGUAGES` registry, `tl!`/`t`/`tr`/`tr_ctx`/`tr_id`/`tn`/`fmt`). Command ids,
menu paths, `ui.menu.list`, the control channel, the CLI, MCP, status messages
and undo labels never see translated text, so agents, scripts and the existing
tests are unaffected (under `cargo test` the UI is always English).

Wired: in-window menus and the macOS native menu (rebuilt on a language change),
dynamic labels (Undo X, Reset X, Last Effect: X as templates), the command
palette (matches English and translated text), dock tabs, panel tooltips, the
toolbar (category names now cut by characters, not bytes), the dialog frame, the
shared widgets, the Preferences dialog, the shortcut editor, the hint and status
bars, the Home screen, and the literals of every panel and dialog.

Preference `interfaceLanguage` (User Interface › Language): `auto` or a code.
`auto` follows `VECTORCRAFT_LOCALE`, `LC_ALL`/`LC_MESSAGES`/`LANG`/`LANGUAGE`,
the macOS preferred languages and, on Windows (which sets no `LANG`), the user
locale from `HKCU\Control Panel\International`. `zh-TW`/`zh-HK`/`zh-MO`/
`zh-Hant-*` resolve to `zh-hant`; Simplified locales stay English until a
`zh-hans` catalog exists.

`zh-hant.tsv` (~2,850 rows) is clean-room, in the vocabulary used in Taiwan;
terms shared with PhotoCraft reuse its wording, vector terms use everyday
vector-drawing vocabulary. Tests: catalog well-formedness (placeholders,
ellipses, command ids, no Simplified characters), locale resolution, and two
coverage tests that fail when a menu string, panel/tool/preference label,
dialog button, hint-bar fragment or `tl!` literal has no row in a language
marked `complete_menus`. `VECTORCRAFT_I18N_DUMP=file cargo test -p
vectorcraft-ui-egui dump_source_strings` lists the strings for translators.

Also: two clippy findings under rustc 1.97 fixed in passing.

Integrated with main (squashed onto it, 42 commits on): the Czech interface
(#213) moves from its Rust table to `i18n/cs.tsv` on the registry (all 556
rows, Czech plural rule, its menu-coverage and glyph tests kept); Find Font's
resolution notes and the canvas context menu's labels are translated and
covered by the catalog tests (`menus::CONTEXT_LABELS`); the glyph test checks
CJK text only when the craft-fonts build input is embedded (#220 moved the
Japanese fonts out of this repository); a language saved by an older version
carries over to `interfaceLanguage`; Windows' locale lookup runs reg.exe by its
full path.

The Perspective Grid tool's left and right ground-level points move the whole
grid; the left and right extents are separate (extentRight; Alt drags both,
Shift goes by whole cells); a cell size widget sits up the line where the planes
meet; Shift keeps a vanishing point on the horizon and the ground points and
origin on one axis. The Plane Switching Widget stays put in a corner of the
document window (ViewInfo/ToolContext carry the window as a ScreenFrame), takes
its clicks with any tool while the grid shows (the Perspective Selection tool
too while it's hidden), and 1-4 pick the left, horizontal, right and no plane.
Double-clicking the Perspective Grid tool opens Perspective Grid Options
(show the widget, its corner; perspective.widget.options, kept with the

bflatasticandClaude Opus 5.5 67b2213957 M8.5: Puppet Warp pins rotate, multi-select and Select All; Control bar and hint
- Alt-dragging near (not on) a selected pin turns the art around it; the pin
  keeps that turn through later warps. arap::Pin gains an angle constraint and
  object.puppetWarp takes angles: [deg|null...].
- Shift-click adds pins to the selection or takes them out; dragging a pin
  moves every selected pin. Select All Pins selects them all (it used to
  deselect). Alt-click no longer deletes a pin; Delete removes the selection.
- Control bar: Expand (0 allowed), Show Mesh (on by default), Select All
  Pins. Hint-bar text for the tool.

bflatasticandClaude Opus 5.5 a844503e4c Fix #122: Mirror & Cut, Line Cut and Rectangle Cut tools
The issue asked for one-step symmetric shapes, splitting all selected art
along a line and cropping art to a rectangle as real geometry. Only the
freehand Knife and the Scissors existed, and neither works on compound
paths as one shape.

New commands path.mirrorCut, path.lineCut and path.rectCut cut the
selected paths and compound paths (inside groups too) with pathops
booleans against a half-plane or rectangle, and split open paths with
the Knife/Path Eraser helpers. Mirror & Cut reflects the kept half and
unites it with itself (open halves are joined on the axis). The draw2
piece helpers now rebuild compound paths too. Three tools (Eraser group,
original icons) preview the cut live while dragging and commit it as one
undo step; Mirror & Cut's axis and kept side are tool options shown in
the Control bar.

bflatasticandClaude Opus 5.5 25a194cc00 Fix #44: right-clicking a grouped tool opens its sub-tools flyout
A right-click on a toolbar button with sub-tools (the small triangle) opens
the flyout and it stays open until a tool in it is chosen or the user clicks
elsewhere. A long press opens it too, and releasing that press no longer
closes it or picks the button's tool.

Root cause: the right-click did open the flyout, but the flyout closes on a
click outside itself, and the release of that same right-click (on the tool
button, outside the flyout) closed it in the same frame. The release of a
long press shorter than egui's click time did the same, and also selected
the button's tool. Clicks on the flyout's own tool button now leave it to
that button.

bflatasticandClaude Opus 5.5 831d916d3d Fix #84: the toolbar and the panel icon column scroll in short windows
In a window too short for them, the toolbar (tools, Fill/Stroke, colour
chips, drawing modes, Screen Mode, Edit Toolbar) and the dock's panel icon
column scroll with the mouse wheel, or with the scroll bar that shows while
the pointer is over them, instead of being cut off at the hint bar.

Root cause: both were drawn straight into their side panels with no scroll
area, and the toolbar's only fallback (two columns) runs out below about
760 pt. They now draw inside widgets::strip_scroll, a vertical ScrollArea
next to the menus' widgets::menu_scroll.

bflatasticandClaude Opus 5.5 1b9b37454b M4.80: Print Tiling tool and View > Show Print Tiling
View > Show Print Tiling (view.printTiling) draws the pages of the
document's print settings on the canvas, dashed and numbered, from
print.preview's own layout (print.tiling), so the canvas and the
printed job agree. The Print Tiling tool replaces the no-op tool: a
drag places the first page's imageable corner (print.tiling.set,
saved as print_setup.tileOrigin, one undo step); a double click on
the canvas or the tool button resets it. Tiles start at the origin
and extend to cover the art; the Print dialog shows the tool's
placement with a Reset button.

bflatasticandClaude Opus 5.5 303689c8f4 M3.52: Eyedropper Options with Picks Up / Applies trees, Alt and Shift+Alt modes, image sampling
Double-clicking the Eyedropper opens Eyedropper Options (dialog
eyedropperOptions): raster sample size (point, 3x3, 5x5) and Picks Up /
Applies trees (transparency; focal fill colour, transparency, overprint;
focal stroke colour, transparency, overprint, weight, cap, join, miter,
dash; character and paragraph attributes). The options live in the
preferences (Prefs::eyedropper, eyedropper.setOptions, prefs key
eyedropper) and replace the earlier appearance/transparency switches.

appearance.copyFrom takes pickUp/apply overrides, reverse (Alt-click:
the selection's attributes onto the clicked object) and append
(Shift+Alt-click: add the source's fills and strokes). Type copies font,
size and paragraph attributes to type. Clicking an image samples its
pixels; sampled colours keep their colour model.

bflatasticandClaude Opus 5.5 0358c4df95 M3.35: gradient handles snap and honour Constrain Angle; double-clicking a tool button opens its options
Gradient tool handles (a drawn vector's start and end, the end handle and the moved start) snap to anchors, edges
and smart guides, with the guide overlays; Shift constrains to 45° steps from the Constrain Angle preference
(`ToolContext::constrain_angle`, `constrain_angle_from` in geom). Double-clicking a toolbar button runs the new UI
command `tool.options {tool}`: the Gradient tool opens the Gradient panel, the Eyedropper opens Eyedropper Options
(`eyedropper.setOptions {appearance?, transparency?}`, which `appearance.copyFrom` honours and its params override).

Brandon ThomasandClaude Opus 5.5 4878f1c5dd Rename DrawCraft → VectorCraft: crates (vectorcraft-*), apps, binaries, types, env vars, docs, examples (.vectorcraft); old .drawcraft files and preferences still load. Fix: text bounds exact after opening a file; selection no longer marks a document modified (dirty = content differs from the saved document). Screenshots and renders regenerated.
