PowerPoint draws buChar char="••" (seen in a LibreOffice test deck) as a
single dot; DeckCraft drew both, pushing the text right.

Every datetime field showed the deck-wide fixed date text instead of a date: empty when no slide
had a fixed date, and that text on every slide when one did. A fixed date is plain text in its
slide's placeholder; a field is an automatic date, so it now shows the local date and time in the
format of its type (ECMA-376 datetime1 to datetime13 as PowerPoint lists them for English,
datetime and datetimeFigureOut the short date). Numeric dates follow the run's language
(en-GB 09/10/2026, de-DE 09.10.2026...); formats with names stay English-only, so other languages
keep the field's saved text, as do unknown types and builds without a clock (wasm). The saved
text is kept on save.
- text: datetime module (field types, formats, local clock via chrono, not on wasm);
Fields::field_in passes the run's language.
- render: RenderOpts::now injects the clock (tests, deterministic output); the PDF text layer
uses the same fields.
- engine: Header & Footer turns existing date placeholders into fixed text or back into a
field; new date fields are saved with the date they show (local, not UTC).

Three causes, each making links look like they "don't save":
- With the caret at a word boundary (end of text, empty paragraph),
insert.hyperlink formatted an empty range and changed nothing. It now
inserts the address (or the slide's title, or `text`) as linked text, as
PowerPoint does. Typing right after a link no longer extends it.
- The slide show ignored hyperlinks and shape actions. A click on one now
follows it (ShowState::follow): slides, next/previous/first/last, Last
Slide Viewed, End Show, and URLs; the pointer turns into a hand over links.
- The desktop app was built without eframe's `links` feature, so
ctx.open_url did nothing natively (also the ribbon's app page link).
Enabled as in DesignCraft, EffectCraft and PrintCraft.
Saving was fine: links round-trip through .deckcraft and .pptx.

* feat(pictures): animated GIFs play, with pause (media.gifPlay)
GIF pictures used to show only their first frame. The renderer now decodes every frame (cached, capped at 256 MB and 1024 px a side) and draws the frame for each GIF's play time, passed in RenderOpts::gif_times; exports and thumbnails pass none and keep frame 1. The editor canvas and the slide show redraw only when a GIF reaches its next frame. A corner button on hover (or selection) pauses and resumes a GIF from the same frame, through the new media.gifPlay command.

A few MB of hostile GIF could decode to millions of tiny frames or a 100 Mpx canvas per frame,
and eight cached GIFs could hold 2 GB.

It ran file.new, so each click silently added another blank presentation
and looked like it did nothing. Home is now a UI command (app.home) that
shows the start screen over the open presentations, with a "Back to …"
button; Escape or Home again goes back. Creating or opening a presentation
from it leaves it. While it's open, keys don't reach the hidden
presentation (only app shortcuts and Escape). ui.inspect reports `home`.

egui::Popup::menu closes on any click inside the popup, so the "More
Colors… #" field of every colour drop-down closed the menu before a value
could be typed. The colour drop-downs now open through
widgets::color_popup (CloseOnClickOutside): picking a colour still closes
them (color_grid calls ui.close()), and the other buttons in them
(Gradient…, the Weight, Dashes and Arrows submenus of Shape Outline) close
them explicitly.

* Morph: a changed geometry morphs its outline (a circle turns into a star)
Paired shapes that differ only in geometry (another preset, other adjust
values, a custom path) and fill colour no longer cross-fade: one shape moves
and its outline turns from the old geometry into the new one.
- geom::morph aligns two outlines the way manim does: the same number of
contours, the same number of cubic curves per contour pair, then every
point moves in a straight line. Closed contours are turned and reversed so
the points travel least (a triangle does not twist into a circle), extra
points go to the longest curves, and a sub-path without partner grows out
of (or shrinks into) a point, so a cube's faces appear and a donut's hole
closes. Fill mode, outline and fill rule switch at the midpoint.
- anim::morph_frame lists such shapes in MorphFrame::paths; the renderer
draws them with the morphed geometry (PathMorph, a new render_blend
argument next to TextMorph).
Ported from the path morph in alexplain (MIT, same author).

* Morph: differing looks of an outline cross-fade instead of switching
When a sub-path pair differs in fill mode, outline or fill rule, the two
looks no longer switch at the midpoint. A fill or outline only one side has
fades out (or in), so a filled shape turning into a line loses its fill
gradually. When both fill, the even-odd side lies opaque underneath and the
other fades over it, so a donut's hole fills smoothly while it shrinks.

Flips mirror a shape's geometry, never its text. The text was drawn with the shape's full
transform, so every label on a flipped arrow came out mirrored (flipH) or mirrored upside down
(flipV). As in PowerPoint, the text rect keeps its flipped place and the text is mirrored back
about the rect's centre: flipH text stays upright, flipV (or both flips) turns it 180°, rotation
still applies, and the same holds for shapes inside flipped groups.
render::text_transform is that transform (plus vertical-text rotation). Drawing, the PDF text
layer and link boxes, morph text, the editing caret and selection, and click-to-place-the-caret
all use it, so a click lands on the character drawn under it.

Text with a:hlinkClick (to a URL or a slide) looked like the text around it. As in PowerPoint,
a linked run now takes the theme's hlink colour and a single underline, unless the run itself
sets a colour (PowerPoint 2019 and later honour it) or an underline (u="none" removes it).
Colours from list and master styles don't count, so links in titles are blue too.
This is part of run resolution, so links added with insert.hyperlink look the same, Format
shows them underlined, and turning underline off writes u="none". The run's own props are left
alone, so the look follows the theme.

tools/list described export as png/jpeg/pptx/outline only, with no PDF parameters, although
file.export (which the tool runs) writes PDF slides, notes pages and handouts. The tool's

lists the PDF options: layout, perPage, dpi, slides, includeHidden, textLayer and frame.

On a slide change the show kept a clone of the old slide's texture handle
as the transition's "old" picture, then rendered the new slide into that
same texture with set(). Old and new were the same image, so every
transition (except Morph, which renders into its own texture) blended the
new slide with itself and looked like an instant cut. The old texture is
now taken out of show.tex, so the new slide gets a texture of its own.

* Fonts: the bundled script face comes before installed fonts; no Microsoft family names
Arabic, Hebrew, Thai and Devanagari clusters try the craft-fonts face first, so every machine
draws the same, then openly licensed or OS-native installed families, then any installed face.
Installed Microsoft faces are still used through that scan, but not named (AGENTS.md §1.1).

* Tables: rows grow to fit their text, cell text in the PDF text layer (#13)
A stored row height (a:tr/@h) is a minimum, as in PowerPoint: each row grows so its cells' text fits. Tables from pandoc or python-pptx store h="0" and drew every row on top of each other. Cell editing (click to edit, cell outline) uses the same heights, and the PDF text layer now includes table cell text.
* Tables: a grown table's box covers its drawn rows; resize scales from drawn heights
Handles, hit tests and marquee used the stored frame, so rows grown to fit their text drew
below the selection box (a file with h=0 rows had a 0 pt tall box). Resizing divided by the
stored row total, which is ~0 for those files.

* Morph: shapes move, resize and blend in the slide show
Morph used to fall back to a plain crossfade in the show: morph_pairs and
morph_xfrm existed, but nothing rendered frames with them.
- anim: morph_frame builds a frame from two slides. Paired shapes move along
morph_xfrm (eased); a pure fill colour change blends, other content changes
cross-fade on the same moving box. Unpaired shapes fade out/in, shapes with
entrance animations or hidden media stay out of the frame.
- render: render_blend draws such a frame in one pass: both backdrops
(background, master and layout graphics) cross-fade, every shape resolves
against the slide it comes from, so placeholders keep their own layout.
Renderer::slide is split into canvas/fields/backdrop to share the code.
- ui-egui: the show renders morph frames with these, crossfade otherwise.

* Morph: Words and Characters options morph text token by token
The transition option (objects/words/characters) was stored and round-tripped
but ignored by the show. With Words or Characters, paired shapes whose text
differs now morph their text instead of cross-fading it:
- text: GlyphRun records per glyph the paragraph character it draws, so
glyphs can be grouped into words or characters.
- anim: morph_frame reads the option and lists such pairs in MorphFrame::text.
- render: morph_text draws them. Shared words (or characters) travel from their
place in the old text to their place in the new one and grow or shrink to the
new size; a different look cross-fades on the way. The remaining tokens fade
while following a scale and shift fitted to the shared ones, so a line moves
and rearranges as one. Rotated text falls back to a cross-fade.
draw_layout_with's glyph drawing moved into draw_glyph for reuse.
- ui-egui: the show passes the pairs to render_blend.

`sniff` searched only the leading 4096 bytes for the content-types part, but
OOXML writers may place that part anywhere in the archive. Recent PowerPoint
builds (16.x) store it as the last zip entry, so every deck saved by them was
rejected with "not a presentation DeckCraft can read" although it imports fine.
In one real folder 169 of 300 decks were affected.
Look the part up in the zip's central directory instead. The regression test
re-packs the sample deck with the part last behind 64 KB of padding and
checks that it is both recognised and imported.

The step clock ran before the frame's input actions were applied. A click
that started a step (PlayStep) was timed against the old step_start (when the
slide was entered), so after waiting longer than the step's duration the step
finished in the same frame: everything appeared at once, without animation.
Input actions are now applied before the clock is read.

Exp-Golomb values read with `read_ue()` can be as large as u32::MAX, so
`read_ue()? + N`, `log2_min + read_ue()?` and the cropping / conformance
window arithmetic overflowed: a panic in debug builds, and in release a
silent wrap (e.g. pic_width_in_mbs_minus1 = u32::MAX became a width of 0,
which passed the `<= 1024` check).
- bitstream: add `BitReader::read_ue_plus(n)`, an overflow-checked
`ue(v) + n` that returns InvalidExpGolomb.
- h264/hevc: use it for every `read_ue()? + N`; saturate the log2 size
sums (the existing range checks then reject them); validate the H.264
crop in u64; make HEVC `crop_rect` saturating; validate the HEVC RPS
delta range before casting to i32.
- Regression tests for each (they fail on the previous code).
* About: contributors compiled in from contributors.json (grab bag + table, sortable, name toggle)
Adds the craftrules standard (standards/contributors.md) to DeckCraft's About window:
tabs About · Contributors · Models. contributors/contributors.json is generated by
craftrules/scripts/contributors.py and baked into the binary by crates/ui-egui/build.rs as
static tables. Each contributor line: @username, opt-in display/real name, PRs, commits,
lines +/−/Δ, binary assets +/−, first/last commit. Sortable by every column; alphabetical
ignores case and the leading @. The control channel's ui.dialog.open now honours its
documented `fields` param (e.g. About {"tab": "contributors"}).
