When the display-server choice (#2184) or WORDCRAFT_WAYLAND=0 asked for XWayland without them, the app failed to start: winit panicked in xkbcommon-dl without libxkbcommon-x11 (seen on Fedora 44 and Ubuntu 26.04). uses_x11 now also takes a check of the libraries winit's X11 backend opens (libX11, libXcursor, libX11-xcb, libXi, libxkbcommon-x11), asked only when X11 would be forced. If any is missing, X11 isn't forced and the log line names them. The packages now also recommend libX11-xcb and libxkbcommon-x11, and the README lists the libraries XWayland needs. Tests: missing_x11_libraries_leave_the_app_on_wayland (every way of asking for X11, and that asking for Wayland doesn't run the check).

Mex	060768f1ed	Preserve header/footer content when adding page numbers (#2201 ) Fixes #2201. Top/bottom page numbering preserves neighboring header/footer text, formatting and tables, recognizes existing PAGE fields through nested tables/text boxes, and updates gallery-generated numbering in place. The latest review follow-up lets refreshed PAGE/NUMPAGES result caches vary during generated-number recognition. It retains those caches and paragraph marks during format/alignment changes; identical requests remain clean and add no undo step. Field instructions, flags and paragraph/run formatting remain conservatively checked. Original history, incoming progress notes and readiness estimates are preserved. Local validation before the integration refresh: - Actual RED: 13 existing tests passed; the new reopened cached-PAGE fixture failed because right alignment stayed centered. - GREEN: all 14 preservation tests pass, with all 13 originals an exact byte prefix. The fixture checks DOCX-reopened caches 7/12, no-op cleanliness/undo, later changes, content/marks/selection and undo/redo. - Full engine package: 1,350 passed, zero failed, one existing ignored measurement, including the focused 14. Engine formatting and strict all-target Clippy pass. - Synthetic DOCX coverage; native Word interoperability was not exercised. No new whole-workspace local run is claimed. Current head: `5eb4c8cb8b205ebcfcb5b1a48d55c5e21b1683e6`, a normal preserving merge of upstream `d40d1b27181b61990c84c75f77d5fd23ef81d452`. The new roadmap and format-parity documentation conflicts retain all incoming progress and revision history plus this PR's existing page-number notes. All 1,087 published files match incoming upstream plus the five reviewed changes; both owned Rust files remain byte-for-byte unchanged from `ca615f3` and `447dec8`, and manifests/lock match incoming upstream. No new local Rust run is claimed for this documentation-only integration. The [preceding `ca615f3` full hosted gate](https://github.com/storytold/wordcraft/actions/runs/42679017335/job/129368197175?pr=2251) passed in 13m38s. The [required current-head full gate](https://github.com/storytold/wordcraft/actions/runs/42693258780/job/129418282235?pr=2251) passed in 13m06s; SonarCloud planning/scanning also passed. Required validation is complete. Maintainer edits are enabled; FredApps re-review remains requested. <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> <!-- coderabbit-ai-generated:v1 --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit ## Summary * Bug Fixes * Adding page numbers to headers and footers now preserves existing content and formatting, including content in tables and text boxes. * Existing user-owned page fields remain unchanged, while generated page numbers can be updated without disturbing surrounding content. * Repeating an identical page-number request no longer changes the document’s state or undo history. * Documentation * Updated page-numbering guidance to reflect these preservation behaviors. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai -->	2026-11-11 09:06:18 +01:00
FredApps	45db128c15	fix(wordcraft): satisfy clippy on clipboard.rs after #5441 #5441 (`92e0e67f`) landed a Wayland clipboard size check in `apps/wordcraft/src/clipboard.rs` that left two clippy `-D warnings` failures on main: - an unused `self` import in the Unix `platform` module (`use wordcraft_ui_egui::paste_picture::{self, ClipboardPicture}`) - `items_after_test_module`: `platform::picture()` was defined after `mod tests` This removes the unused import and moves `picture()` above the test module. Behaviour is unchanged. Local checks: `cargo fmt -p wordcraft` and `cargo clippy -p wordcraft --all-targets --locked -- -D warnings` on Linux. <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> <!-- coderabbit-ai-generated:v1 --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit * Refactor * No user-visible changes. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai -->	2026-11-11 08:51:03 +01:00
