Every layer of the selected graphic was outlined on the Program monitor,
so a box stayed after its layer was deselected, and a layer whose
visibility was off kept its box and could still be clicked and dragged.
As in Premiere Pro 26: a layer has a box only while it is selected (or
typed into), and a layer whose visibility is off is not on the monitor
at all: no box, no handles, no click target.

A text layer is now one of two types, each with Premiere Pro 26's handles:
- Point text (Type tool click): every handle scales the layer about its
anchor point, both axes alike; the font size is untouched.
- Paragraph text (Type tool drag): the dragged rectangle is a box the text
wraps in. Handles move that side or corner of the box, the opposite side
stays, the text re-wraps at the same size. Lines below the box are not
shown and the bottom-right handle turns into a red plus.
- The anchor point can be dragged with the Selection tool; the layer stays.
It is picked before anything under it, so a shape dragged by its exact
centre moves its anchor.
- Properties > Text > wrench opens Text Properties, where Text Layer Type
switches a layer between the two (graphics.setTextType); the text stays
where it is.
Shapes keep stretching away from their opposite side.
New: text layer parameter box_height, graphics.newText `box`, and
textType / box / overflow / anchor / scale in graphics.list. A layer saved
before a parameter existed can now be given it with graphics.set.

Vertical text layout in the text engine (one line per character, columns right to left).
All edits are undoable engine commands; engine tests cover each menu group.

- Program monitor overlay for graphic clips: Type tool click creates a text layer (in the
selected graphic under the playhead or a new clip) and edits it in place with a caret,
selection highlight, arrows/word/line navigation, Shift-select, Cmd+A/C/X/V, Return,
Backspace/Delete, Esc; typing is one undo step. Selection tool selects, moves and scales
layers (bounding box, handles, anchor); double-click edits text. Rectangle/Ellipse tools
drag out shapes; Pen tool places a closed path. Automation ids program.layer.*.
- Properties (when a graphic is selected) and Essential Graphics: Layers list, Align and
Transform (align / distribute), Text (source text, font family + style incl. system fonts,
size, paragraph alignment, tracking, leading, baseline shift, box width, faux bold/italic,
caps, underline, kerning/ligatures), Shape, Appearance (fill, 2 strokes, background,
shadow). Automation ids graphics.*.
- Headless UI test (egui_kittest) drives the whole flow through the control channel; with
FILMCRAFT_UI_SHOTS it renders PNGs via wgpu (works with a locked screen).
- docs/graphics.md; architecture, ROADMAP, ATTRIBUTION (code-drawn glyphs) updated.
