# The cursors VectorCraft needs: one [[cursor]] per `Cursor` value (crates/tools/src/lib.rs).
#
# This is the source of truth for what each cursor is for, written for whoever draws them:
# designers never decide what a cursor is for, this file does. `cargo xtask cursors` warns about
# a `Cursor` value without an entry. Adding a cursor: CLAUDE.md › Adding a cursor.
#
#   app         the app's name as designers read it
#   id          the `Cursor` variant's name (PenAdd), which names its drawing
#   group       the heading it's listed under for designers
#   shown_when  every situation that shows it, one plain sentence each
#   hotspot     where the click lands
#   look        optional: only what the drawing must mean or match (a badge, a sibling cursor).
#               Never describe another app's cursors; describe what ours must say.
#   designer    optional, default true: false for a cursor the operating system draws on purpose
#               (nothing to draw)
#
# Wording: plain sentences for a designer, behaviour only. `cargo xtask brands` rejects vendor
# names here.
