Every transition and Effect Option was built in PowerPoint (COM), exported as
video and compared frame by frame with DeckCraft at the same progress
(mean abs diff over 150 variants 35.7 -> 15.0, 0-255).
- anim: transition_frame(kind, option, t, aspect) with measured curves
(smoothstep fades, ease-in-out moves, Cover/Uncover/Pan curves), directions
and option meanings, soft edges as per-corner opacity, 3-D effects as
perspective-projected cards, Dynamic Content moving slide contents over
cross-fading backgrounds (Source::OldBack/NewBack/OldContent/NewContent);
layer_mesh subdivides perspective quads so textures stay straight.
- New options: Page Curl Single, Glitter Hexagons, Shred In/Out, Zoom and
Rotate; PowerPoint-style Effect Options labels.
- render: composite_transition (CPU twin of the show), render_slide_part,
render_transition; deckcraft-cli render-transition FILE --slide N --t T.
- show: per-vertex opacity meshes, slide parts rendered once per transition.
- pptx: PowerPoint's elements and defaults (p:strips diagonal wipes, p14:warp
and p:newsflash for Zoom, p:zoom for Shape In/Out, glitter pattern, shred
rectangle/dir, prstTrans invX per preset, pageCurlSingle, defaults for
randomBar/doors/window/pan/zoom); PowerPoint reopens DeckCraft's files with
the same effects.
- Tests: measured curves, probes of which slide shows where at t, option
coverage, per-frame triangle budget, PowerPoint XML and defaults round trip.

* Engine: file.info and PowerPoint-style print slide ranges (#76)
file.info reports what File › Info shows (name, path, format, unsaved
changes, slide and hidden-slide counts, sections, size on disk,
properties). file.export's PDF `slides` also takes the range typed in
PowerPoint's Print page ("1-3, 5", 1-based); bad or out-of-range text is
an error instead of a silent full export.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* UI: the File tab (Backstage) like PowerPoint's (#76)
File (first ribbon tab) or Alt+F opens a full-window view in place of the
ribbon, slides and status bar: a side menu (Back, Home, New, Open, Info,
Save, Save As, Print, Export, Close; Account and Options at the bottom)
and the chosen page. Esc or Back returns; Up/Down walk the side menu and
show each page as it gets the focus; Enter runs Save/Close/Options.
Laid out after PowerPoint for Windows as observed: 160-pt menu a step
darker than the page, outline icons, current page in the accent colour.
The start screen is now File › Home (as in PowerPoint), with only Home,
New and Open at the top and no Back. Pages call existing commands and
file helpers: file.new {theme} and the sample deck (Home, New); recent
files with search, Browse and Recover Unsaved (Open); file.info and
file.properties, Accessibility Checker, Revert (Info); file.save /
file.saveAs / file.export by type (Save, Save As); a PDF with the Print
page's slides, layout (full page, notes, handouts 1-9), hidden slides and
frames, opened in the system viewer or downloaded on the web, with a
page preview (Print, Ctrl+P); Create PDF, Create Handouts and Change File
Type (Export); appearance and About (Account); Preferences (Options).
Share (cloud) is left out.
Close and Ctrl+W now ask Save / Don't Save / Cancel about unsaved
changes instead of closing at once. The Export dialog shares
SlideApp::export_as with the Export page. New UI commands: app.backstage
{page}, app.closePresentation, app.print; ui.inspect reports the page.
New icons drawn in code: back, save as, account, recent, new file, open
folder.

* ActiveX controls show their pictures
A slide's p:controls are read: each control with a p:pic (the image PowerPoint shows for it,
often a WMF) becomes a picture above the slide's shapes.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Metafiles draw their text, pattern and hatch brushes
deckcraft-metafile (still kurbo + thiserror only, so it builds for wasm):
- Text: WMF EXTTEXTOUT/TEXTOUT and EMF EXTTEXTOUTW/EXTTEXTOUTA/SMALLTEXTOUT with the
selected font (CREATEFONTINDIRECT, EXTCREATEFONTINDIRECTW: face, signed LOGFONT height,
width, weight, italic, underline, strike-out, escapement, charset), text and background
colour, background mode, TA_* alignment and TA_UPDATECP, the dx array (ETO_PDY pairs too),
ETO_OPAQUE fills and ETO_CLIPPED clips. 8-bit strings decode through their charset
(Windows-1252/1250/1251; symbol fonts keep their codes at U+F000; double-byte sets keep
their advances). The neutral Item::Text carries a text-space-to-picture transform, so the
mapping and escapement are folded in and glyphs are never mirrored.
- Brushes: WMF DIBCREATEPATTERNBRUSH, EMF CREATEDIBPATTERNBRUSHPT and CREATEMONOBRUSH, and
BS_HATCHED, as Item::Pattern tiles in 96-dpi pixels; WMF PATBLT. The XOR / AND-pattern /
XOR see-through shadow of old PowerPoint WMFs draws its pattern in the XOR colour.
- MFCOMMENT escapes with an embedded EMF are ignored: PowerPoint draws the WMF's records.
- Pattern pixels and text count against the byte budget; strings are capped.
deckcraft-render draws text through deckcraft-fonts with the face slide text would use
(document_face), symbol fonts mapped as bullets map them (deckcraft_text::symbol_char, now
public, with Webdings), per-character fallback, the file's advances, GDI cell metrics for
top/bottom alignment, underline/strike-out and synthetic bold/italic. Tiles below 1.5 output
pixels per cell are drawn as their average colour.
On the 24 corpus slides that show a metafile, mean abs diff against PowerPoint goes from
28.31 to 5.06 (with the OLE/ActiveX preview commits).

* Text: Ctrl+arrows, Ctrl+Backspace/Delete and the other text keys work like PowerPoint (#268)
Observed black-box in PowerPoint for Windows on synthetic text:
- Word stops (crates/model/src/words.rs): words, punctuation runs, symbol
runs, tabs, line breaks and each CJK character are tokens; trailing spaces
join the token before. it's, a-b, 3.14, 1,000 are one word; e.g., a_b and
x@y.com are not. Grapheme clusters never split.
- Ctrl+Left/Right and Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right move by those stops, across
paragraphs; with a selection they go on from its start/end. In a
right-to-left paragraph Left and Right swap.
- Ctrl+Backspace deletes to the previous stop; Ctrl+Delete deletes the rest
of the word, or spaces plus the next word, then applies PowerPoint's smart
spacing. With a selection both work from its start.
- Ctrl+Up/Down by paragraph, Ctrl+Home/End to the text's ends.
- End on a wrapped line goes past the trailing space and the caret stays
drawn at that line's end (TextSel::line_end); End again stays, Home
returns to the same line.
- Ctrl+]/[ and Ctrl+Shift+>/< change font size (egui's Period/Comma/
bracket key names now match registry shortcuts).
- Shift+F3 cycles lower -> Title -> UPPER; a caret changes its word.
- Double-click selects the word without trailing spaces; triple-click
includes the paragraph mark.
- Mac keeps Option for words and Cmd for line/text ends (Session::mac_keys).

* #133: Selection pane engine: restack inside groups, Show/Hide All, Lock like PowerPoint
- arrange.bringForward/sendBackward/bringToFront/sendToBack and arrange.reorder work on a
group's children, which stay in their group (as PowerPoint's pane arrows and drag do);
steps that change nothing leave no undo step.
- selection.select (pane click: Ctrl toggles, children and top-level objects don't mix,
picking a hidden object shows it), selection.showAll (everything, children too) and
selection.hideAll (top level).
- shape.lock cascades through groups; locked objects can be selected, formatted and typed
in, but not moved, sized, rotated, flipped, reshaped or cropped (commands and canvas).
- PPTX: Lock reads and writes PowerPoint's full locking attribute set per element kind
(observed by saving locked objects from PowerPoint); partial locks aren't Lock.

* Front-most first with groups folding; drag a row to restack among its siblings (accent
insertion line); Bring Forward / Send Backward arrows; Show All / Hide All; per-row eye and
padlock; double-click or F2 renames in place; Ctrl+click toggles, Shift+click selects a run;
arrows, Home, End and Esc in the list; right-click menu. Lock/Unlock on the canvas menu,
greyed handles on locked objects. egui_kittest tests drive the pane.

* Text: input method composition as commands, one undo step per composition (#101)
text.compose shows an input method's preedit in place at the insertion point and replaces it on
each update; an empty preedit cancels and restores the text and selection. text.commit replaces
the composition with the result as one undo step. Any other edit, key or click settles an open
composition first. The composition is underlined under the baseline (thicker under the part being
converted), and the caret line is measured for empty placeholders too.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* UI: Korean, Japanese and Chinese input and interface text (#101)
The slide turns the input method on while it takes typing, with the candidate window at the
caret, and forwards egui Ime events to text.compose / text.commit, so a Korean keyboard composes
syllables instead of separate jamo. Interface text in scripts the interface fonts lack (Hangul,
Simplified Chinese, Thai...) borrows faces from the font database (installed fonts such as Malgun
Gothic; nothing bundled): file names, titles, notes, outline, sections, comments and typed text.
Ported and widened from WordCraft's #565/#840 fallback. The notes pane keeps text typed before
focus leaves in the same frame (Escape, another slide). Control channel: ui.ime.

PowerPoint's Normal view draws shapes, pictures and text that sit partly
or wholly off the slide on the area around it, at full strength, with
their effects, master and layout graphics included; the slide show,
exports and thumbnails clip to the slide. DeckCraft clipped everything to
the slide in the editor too.
- render: `slide_extent`/`layout_extent` estimate how far a slide's
drawing reaches (boxes, outlines, shadow, glow, reflection);
`render_slide_drawn` also reports what a render actually drew (text
spilling out of its box, table rows that grew); `pasteboard_region`
picks the pixels the editor renders: the slide plus what reaches off
it and is in view, rounded to 256 px tiles so scrolling rarely
re-renders. A slide with nothing off it renders exactly as before.
- ui-egui: the canvas texture covers that region (slide and master
views); it re-renders only when the slide, zoom or the region changes,
and a second time only if text drew beyond the estimate.
- Hit testing, selection, marquee and moves already worked in slide
space; tests now cover them off the slide.

* Text warps: draw WordArt prstTxWarp presets, round-trip their adjusts
All 40 DrawingML text-warp presets now render instead of drawing flat text.
A warp is a list of bands over the shape's text rectangle (insets ignored):
fill bands stretch the ink of their lines between a top and a bottom guide
(positions by arc length, one horizontal scale for the whole text), follow
bands (arch, circle, button) set lines at natural size along an ellipse arc,
lines stacking outwards on parallel curves, with no wrapping. Lines are
shared over multi-band presets in order (ceil(n/k) per band).
The guide curves were fitted to PowerPoint renders of synthetic decks of
"I" bars (black-box observation, defaults and changed adjusts, 1-3 lines);
most presets match within about a point on a 420 x 200 pt box.
- geom: warp module (guides, presets, band mapping) with unit tests
- render: glyph outlines and underlines flattened, subdivided and mapped
- text: follow warps lay out without wrapping
- model/pptx: BodyProps.warp_adj read from and written to prstTxWarp/avLst

* Text warps: bands with fewer lines keep the fuller band's text height
Multi-band fill warps (Deflate-Inflate, Button Pour) map a box as tall as
the tallest band's ink onto every band, centred on the band's own ink, as
PowerPoint does: a band holding one line next to a band of two keeps the
line at the same size instead of stretching it over the whole band.

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.

* 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

Installed Microsoft faces are still used through that scan, but not named (AGENTS.md §1.1).
