French now sits between Spanish and Italian (es, fr, it, ru): the
plural rule, the LANGUAGES registry entry (so the Language menu lists
Français before Italiano), the locale tests, the fr() helper and
french_reads_as_french. README, ROADMAP and docs/development.md list
the languages in the same order.

Add fr.tsv with the full interface coverage: every menu string, every
tl! literal, the plurals and the status/error messages (@msg).
Registered as complete_menus with the French plural rule (0 and 1 are
singular); every fr-* locale (fr-FR, fr-BE, fr-CA, fr-CH …) resolves
to it. Keeps the product, workspace and perspective preset names in
English like the other complete catalogs.
Tests: french_reads_as_french; fr added to KEEPS_MENU_NAMES and
COMPLETE_MESSAGES; the Latin-script glyph test covers French letters
and the no-break space; locale tests use de-DE as the unsupported case.
Clean-room: written from the meaning of the English labels in the
vocabulary French-speaking users of vector illustration software know
(Plan de travail, Nuancier, Contour, Fond, Tracé, Calque). No other
application's localisation was copied.

Add ru.tsv with the full interface coverage: every menu string, every
tl! literal, the plurals (one/few/many) and the status/error messages
(@msg). Registered as complete_menus with the Russian plural rule;
every ru-* locale resolves to it. Keeps the product, workspace and
perspective preset names in English like the other complete catalogs.
Tests: russian_reads_as_russian, russian_plurals_have_three_forms,
russian_glyphs_are_available_without_system_fonts; ru added to
KEEPS_MENU_NAMES and COMPLETE_MESSAGES.
Clean-room: written from the meaning of the English labels in the
vocabulary Russian-speaking users of vector illustration software know
(Слой, Образцы, Обработка контуров, Монтажная область, Обводка,
Заливка), matching the Russian catalog of the sibling app PhotoCraft.
No other application's localisation was copied.
The macOS bundle must declare every File › Open extension, and the
packaging of a vector app must not mention raster-editor files. Affinity
Photo documents still open and place: the reader recognizes them by
their content, and a test checks it.

Open and Place read Affinity documents natively (.af from Affinity 3,
.afdesign/.afphoto/.afpub from Affinity 1 and 2): layers and sublayers,
groups, artboards with their names and backgrounds, Publisher pages side
by side, curves with live corners, parametric shapes, compound shapes,
clipping by nesting, vector and pixel masks, solid and gradient fills,
strokes, fill layers, artistic and frame text, placed images (their
original JPEG/PNG), pixel layers, embedded documents as their cached
picture, opacity, visibility, locking and blend modes, at the document's
resolution in points. Unsupported content (effects, adjustments, brushes,
master pages, special shapes, Affinity-only blend modes...) is listed in
the import warning, one line per kind. A file whose native data can't be
read opens as its embedded preview with the reason, and that preview
cannot be placed or used as a template or library. Save never writes back
over the Affinity file and there is no Affinity export.
The document semantics were fitted to the thumbnails Affinity embeds in
176 public documents. `cargo xtask corpus --affinity` fetches 22 public
CC0/MIT/Apache-2.0 documents at pinned commits, sha256-verified; the new
engine test renders each and compares it with Affinity's own thumbnail
(0-4.4 of 255 mean difference, per-file ceilings). import_fuzz mutates a
synthetic native document's stream and container through open, render
and export; the fuzz crate gains a stream target.

Adds an Italian catalog (crates/ui-egui/src/i18n/it.tsv, 3,549 rows in
es.tsv's order) covering every menu string, every tl! literal, the
plurals and every status/error message, at the same scope as Spanish.
Standard Italian in sentence case, written clean-room from the meaning
of the English labels; the product, workspace, perspective preset and
language names stay in English as in es and ja.
Registered as "Italiano" with the one/other plural rule and
complete_menus; every it-* locale resolves to it. Tests: it joins
KEEPS_MENU_NAMES and COMPLETE_MESSAGES, italian_reads_as_italian checks
vocabulary and plurals, tags_map_to_languages the locale tags, and the
bundled-font glyph test covers Italian accents and guillemets. README,
ROADMAP and docs/development.md list the language.

Read only the indexed PNG thumbnail observed in version-12 Affinity containers. Bound and validate the PNG before decoding, warn about omitted native content, clear the source save target, and reject auxiliary imports that cannot display that warning. Add malformed-input, lifecycle, property and optional native-oracle tests plus a fuzz target. Editable native layers and Affinity export remain unsupported.
0.5.0 asked wgpu for the low-power adapter everywhere (#306). On a Linux
desktop whose KDE Wayland compositor runs on an NVIDIA GPU, wgpu sorted the
Ryzen's integrated RADV GPU first: it reports that it can present to the
window, but KWin can't import the buffers it allocates ("importing the
supplied dmabufs failed"), which is a fatal Wayland protocol error. The next
surface configuration then got ERROR_SURFACE_LOST_KHR and egui-wgpu panicked
("The surface isn't supported by this adapter", winit.rs:129).
- Preferences > Performance > Graphics Processor gains Automatic, the new
default: power saving on Windows and macOS as #306 wanted, and on Linux the
system's order, where Mesa's device-select layer puts the GPU the desktop
runs on first. Values are now automatic / lowPower / highPerformance; 0.5.0
saved powerSaving for everyone, which reads as automatic.
- The app picks the window's adapter itself (apps/vectorcraft/src/gpu.rs,
eframe's native_adapter_selector): only adapters that present to the
surface, WGPU_ADAPTER_NAME first, hardware before software, native backends
before OpenGL, then the power preference. Every adapter and the pick are
logged.
- run_native runs under the engine guard. When the graphics fail during the
first frames (a wgpu error, or a panic in wgpu, egui-wgpu or naga), the app
starts again without that adapter (exec on Unix, so an AppImage stays
mounted; a new process on Windows), passing the failed adapters in
VECTORCRAFT_GPU_SKIP, and says so in the status bar. When none is left it
logs why and exits with an error, never a panic.
- docs/development.md, README and ROADMAP: the new default, the restart and
the escape hatches (WGPU_POWER_PREF, WGPU_ADAPTER_NAME, WGPU_BACKEND,
MESA_VK_DEVICE_SELECT, DRI_PRIME).

* Release: Flatpak x86_64/aarch64 bundles, AppImage zsync updates, README Downloads
- New `flatpak` matrix job (ubuntu-24.04 and ubuntu-24.04-arm) repackages each Linux tarball
into vectorcraft-<ver>-linux-<arch>.flatpak via packaging/linux/flatpak-bundle.sh and the
new ai.storyteller.vectorcraft.bundle.yml; packaging-lint keeps its runtime and finish-args
identical to the from-source Flathub manifest.
- AppImages embed gh-releases-zsync update information and ship a .zsync beside them; the
Linux job checks both.
- Jobs that sign nothing (version, linux, flatpak, freebsd, web) leave the `release`
environment, so a branch workflow_dispatch is a dry run; the draft-release job still needs
the signed macOS/Windows jobs.
- README: a Downloads section listing every build; docs/releasing.md updated.

Pens on KDE Plasma 6.3+ under Wayland don't reach the app: winit 0.30 binds no
Wayland tablet protocol (zwp_tablet_v2), and since Plasma 6.3 KWin no longer
emulates pointer input for such clients (kwin!6336), so the pen moves KWin's own
cursor while the window gets no motion or presses. The fix is upstream (winit
0.31's tablet input, winit#4318, once eframe moves to it). docs/development.md
and the README give the workarounds: run under XWayland (WAYLAND_DISPLAY=), or
set KWIN_WAYLAND_EMULATE_TABLET=1 for the session.
On our side, a pen or finger (winit Touch, emulated as a mouse by egui-winit)
lifts with an egui PointerGone in the same frame. A tap whose press and lift
arrived in one frame had no hover position, so the canvas ignored it, and a
drag ending without a pointer position ended at the canvas's centre. The press
and double-tap now fall back to the interact position, and the release to the
last position seen during the drag. Headless frame tests replay the events a
pen produces: a stroke with pressure reaching Use Pressure Pen, and a one-frame
tap that selects without moving (fails without the fix).
ROADMAP: Last updated, the Platforms row, the hardening gap and the graphics
processor/input bullet (pen pressure reaches the tools on Windows only).

Adds a Spanish catalog (crates/ui-egui/src/i18n/es.tsv) covering the whole
interface like Japanese and Traditional Chinese: every menu string, every
tl! literal, the hint-bar fragments, plurals and the runtime strings the
other complete catalogs carry. It is written from the meaning of the
English labels in neutral, international Spanish (Latin American usage)
with the vocabulary users of vector illustration software know (Mesa de
trabajo, Muestras, Trazo, Relleno, Trazado, Pluma, Selección directa,
Buscatrazos, Motivo, Preajuste); no other application's localisation was
copied. Like Japanese it keeps the product, OpenType, the built-in
workspace names and the perspective grid preset names in English.
The language is registered with complete_menus (so the completeness
tests enforce it) and the one/other plural rule; every es-* system locale
(es-ES, es-MX, es-AR, es-419 ...) resolves to it.
Tests: es locale tags, Spanish vocabulary and plurals, Spanish letters in
the bundled UI fonts, and a new check that catalogs written with spaces
keep the leading/trailing spaces of joined fragments. ROADMAP, README and
docs/development.md list the language.

- Drop the workspace [patch.crates-io] and restore windows-link's crates.io
source and checksum in Cargo.lock, so every normal build keeps the
checksum-verified crate. windows7.ps1 now applies vendor/windows-link with
--config, checks that only windows-link's lock entry moved, builds and tests
with --locked, checks the patched crate is the one in use, and restores
Cargo.lock afterwards.
- windows7.yml runs on demand and weekly instead of on every PR, pins every
action by commit SHA, and leaves the dependency check and host tests to the
script (-Test) so the Cargo arguments live in one place.
- ROADMAP, README, NOTICE and docs: experimental, unsupported, not verified by
maintainers.

Add a linked Star History chart at the bottom of the README so readers can see the repository star count over time. Use the date view with a top-left legend.
- Taiwan vocabulary left over from the zh-hant rows #303 started from is
replaced with the mainland's, about 560 rows: 档案 → 文件, a Taiwan 文件
(document) → 文档, 工作区域 → 画板, 笔画 → 描边, 色票 → 色板, 遮色片 → 蒙版,
渐层 → 渐变, 偏好设定 → 首选项, 快速键 → 快捷键, 按一下 → 单击, 描述档 → 配置文件,
品质 → 质量, 汇出/汇入 → 导出/导入, 连结 → 链接, 点阵 → 栅格, a row 列 → 行,
「」 → “”, half-width parentheses; tool names that collided or were wrong
are fixed (Selection Tool 选择工具, Scale Tool 比例缩放工具, Warp 变形,
Puppet Warp 操控变形, Divide 分割, Exclude 差集, the 直排 type tools).
- 42 rows for strings that landed after #303 (Layers panel, graphics
processor preference, panel collapse, the font menu's filters).
- A catalog header documenting the format and the vocabulary, and a test
that zh-hans has no Traditional characters or Taiwan terms.
rows were the better base (hand-adjusted mainland terms in the menus and
dialogs), so no rows were taken from #316.

Illustrator sets a paragraph's direction (Left-to-Right / Right-to-Left
Paragraph Direction in the Paragraph panel, with the Middle Eastern
options) and keeps its alignment buttons physical; it has no automatic
alignment toggle. So:
- ParaStyle.direction (None: from each paragraph's first strong
character, as before; written only when set), the Paragraph panel's two
direction buttons with Show Indic Options (original icons), and
text.setFormat {direction: "auto"|"leftToRight"|"rightToLeft"}. The
layout uses it as the base direction.
- The Automatic alignment check box is gone. Justify::Auto stays as the
start of the paragraph's direction, set on new type only (text.create,
the Type tools, with the mojikumi default in one new_type_para()):
TextObject::point is Left again, so importers (PDF, SVG, DXF, EMF) keep
their own alignment. The alignment buttons show what Auto resolves to.
- Bidi only where there is something right to left: plain paragraphs skip
the algorithm (no per-layout allocation), it runs once per paragraph
(shaping takes the paragraph's levels instead of recomputing them; path
type computed it four times), and the shaper keeps Han, Hiragana,
Katakana and Bopomofo in one segment (splitting at every change of
script cost Japanese text a shaper call per kana-kanji switch).
- Vertical type keeps its logical order, so its glyphs and lines are not
marked right to left (the caret no longer runs backwards down a column).
- PDF import puts Hebrew and Arabic, which PDFs (and VectorCraft's own
export) draw in visual order, back in logical order with the direction
that shows it as drawn; with bidi layout it came back mirrored.
- SVG import pins the direction SVG implies (left to right unless
direction: rtl); SVG export also outlines right-to-left paragraphs.
- Docs (development.md), ROADMAP (folded into the Type entry, Type core
row) and README updated; catalog rows for the new labels.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Unicode bidi (unicode-bidi, unicode-script, unicode-general-category):
each paragraph's direction from its first strong character, Hebrew and
Arabic shaped right to left, embedded Latin and numbers keep theirs,
lines wrapped in logical order and reordered per line by whole
clusters; source text, undo and style ranges stay logical.
- Caret, hit testing, selection and the arrow keys follow the visual
order.
- New text aligns automatically: right-to-left paragraphs right, others
left (Justify::Auto, text.setStyle {justify: "auto"}); the Paragraph
panel highlights the resolved alignment and has an Automatic alignment
toggle. Explicit alignments, and older documents', are kept.
- SVG export outlines bidirectional text (with a warning) until it can
be written as directional live text.
- Five app screenshots retaken from the current build at 2240x1400 (UI at
1.6x): the hero shows the Outer Glow settings in the Appearance panel, the
Live Blends shot shows the new Layers panel rows, and a new shot shows a
two-point Perspective Grid scene (examples/perspective-city.vectorcraft,
built through the command API).
- "A look around" is a 2x2 grid; captions and alt texts follow the shots.
- The "Made in VectorCraft" art is re-rendered with vectorcraft-cli (the
radial Repeat's gradients now turn with each instance).
- Every image is losslessly optimised with oxipng (7.2 MB -> 4.4 MB,
pixel-identical).
- ASSETS.md rows for the new screenshot and example.

On hybrid-graphics laptops (an integrated GPU driving the display plus a
discrete one), egui-wgpu's default power preference is HighPerformance, so
VectorCraft rendered on the discrete GPU and its frames were copied to the
display through the integrated one. On an Asus ZenBook with Intel Iris + Arc
the window flickered whenever the mouse moved over it (#306, #305).
The canvas is rasterized on the CPU (vello_cpu) and the GPU only composites
the canvas texture and draws the UI, so the integrated GPU is plenty. The
desktop app now asks wgpu for the power-saving adapter by default.
Single-GPU machines are unaffected.
- Preferences > Performance > Graphics Processor (`gpuPreference`:
powerSaving, the default, or highPerformance), with a note that it
applies after a restart. The app reads it from the saved preferences
before the window opens. WGPU_POWER_PREF still overrides it.
- Help > About and `ui.inspect` (`graphicsAdapter`) name the adapter in
use, and it is logged at startup, for future GPU bug reports.
- Docs (README, docs/development.md) and ROADMAP updated.

release.yml's comments sent readers to docs/releasing.md, which never
existed: the workflow was ported from a sibling app without its document.
docs/releasing.md now covers how a release is cut (version bump with
cargo xtask version, the release branch, the draft, publishing, test runs
with a version override), what each job builds and how (macOS universal
signing and notarization, Windows x64/x86/arm64 with the PE checks and the
two signing options, Linux packages and the glibc 2.35 floor behind the
ubuntu-22.04 runners, FreeBSD in a VM, the web build, craft-fonts), the
draft release job and the signing secrets. Every detail is checked against
this repository's workflow and packaging scripts. The README links it.

Shippori Mincho (assets/fonts, from #145) moves to storytold/craft-fonts. crates/text/build.rs
embeds the fonts of a craft-fonts checkout when CRAFT_FONTS_DIR is set (web: BIZ UDPGothic
Regular only) as vectorcraft_text::CRAFT_FONTS; unset, it is empty and Japanese falls back to the
installed fonts. Document text gets the Japanese faces after the bundled fonts (Mincho first); the
UI adds them at the end of every egui family (BIZ UDPGothic first), before ui_fonts' system-font
discovery. Release and FreeBSD CI builds check craft-fonts out at a pinned commit; packages carry
the fonts' OFL texts.

compatibility "1.3" writes a %PDF-1.3 file (its XMP metadata says 1.3
too) without transparency: a copy of the document is flattened first
with flattenerPreset (stored with PDF presets; empty is High Resolution)
and the flattener options over it, see-through image pixels counting as
transparency and rasterized areas clipped to their regions so no soft
mask is needed. Page groups are left out and the writer refuses a file
that would still have transparency. PDF/X-1a and PDF/X-3 share this
path (their version is now PDF 1.3; 1.4 is still accepted and written
as 1.3), and with it the preset, the header and metadata code and the
transparency check. Passwords at PDF 1.3 encrypt with 40-bit RC4
(revision 2). The Save PDF dialog lists PDF 1.3 and picks the flattener
preset under Advanced.

- ROADMAP: a new "Honest assessment (2026-10-05)" section with:
- scores by dimension (breadth, depth, large missing subsystems, interaction
fidelity, look and feel, file interop, bundled content, performance,
robustness, platforms, automation) and how far to trust the self-graded scores;
- the prioritized gap list with one-agent hour sizes;
- the direction (next, then, alongside, 1.0).
- ROADMAP: the parity rows for files, export, print, links and UI chrome are
re-derived after M4 (feature parity ~74% on the rubric, 68–74% honest range;
~230–350 h to feature parity, ~335–520 h to full parity, one agent), the M4 and
M11 milestone rows and the inventories are updated, and "Shipped so far" lists M4
and the robustness work.
- README Status: where we are, what's missing, where we're going.
- AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md: sessions start from the gap list; landing a task updates
the assessment, the parity row and the README status in the same PR.

Shipped code no longer unwraps, expects or panics: every one of the 124
unwrap()/expect()/panic!/unreachable! sites outside tests now handles the
failure (Result/Option, ?, let-else, defaults) and reports errors to the user.
- Lints: workspace clippy denies unwrap_used, expect_used, panic, todo,
unimplemented and unreachable; clippy.toml allows them in tests, and
integration tests, examples and testkit opt out explicitly.
- Safety net (vectorcraft_engine::guard): a panic in a top-level command rolls
the document back and returns EngineError::Internal; a panicking tool is
reset; the MCP server answers with an internal error and keeps serving; the
UI frame and each control request are guarded.
- APIs that hid failures now return them: Rendered::to_png/to_jpeg/to_webp
return Result (JPEG/WebP errors used to write empty files),
FontDb::face returns Option, Region::top returns Option.
- Fuzzing: engine/tests/import_fuzz.rs feeds garbage, hostile and mutated SVG
and PDF through import → render → export (30k cases locally, no panics).
- Docs: AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md rule, docs/development.md "Robustness" section,
README pointer and a PR template checklist.
