In Outline view a template layer drew as outlines like any other, so a
picture placed to be traced turned into a box. It now keeps drawing in
Preview (dimmed as before) while the other layers are in outline.
The three 3D types besides Revolve, as live effects in the three-d crate,
drawn as shaded vector faces by the canvas, SVG/PDF export and Expand
Appearance alike, from the public 3D and Materials documentation:
- Extrude & Bevel: depth (0-2000 pt), twist, taper, solid or hollow caps,
and bevels in six original cross-sections (classic, rounded, cove, step,
ogee) with width, height, repeat, spacing, inside and both sides.
- Inflate: the shape as a membrane under pressure (a Poisson solve held at
zero along the outline and holes), so it rises vertically from the edge
and rounds without creases; volume, depth and both sides. Steep cells
near the outline are refined without cracks.
- Rotate: every fill and stroke turned in 3D and shaded as one plane.
All three share Revolve's view and lighting parameters, the rotation and
light gizmos (turning about the art's centre) and a dialog with Object,
Rotation and Lighting tabs, with Position presets (Front ... Isometric
Bottom, our own values). An object takes one 3D effect. Inflate cuts the
grid cells that straddle a hole's edge with pathops, hence the new
pathops -> three-d layer order.
Docs: docs/three-d.md, mcp.md, and the 3D rows of the parity docs.
The renderer kept the rasters of an object's drop shadows, outer glows
and filtered content (Gaussian Blur, Feather and the Photoshop-style
filters), and drew them again while the object, the zoom and rotation
and the ink plane stayed the same. The content drawn into a raster also
reads things outside the object: patterns, symbols, brushes, images,
document, layer and color settings, the knockout a group inherits, the
fonts, and the options the frame is drawn with. When one of them
changed, a renderer that had drawn the object went on drawing the
raster it had kept, made from the old values.
Each kept raster now records what its content was drawn from: which of
those things the object reads, found by walking the object when the
raster is made, and a hash of their values then. The renderer draws
the raster only while that hash is the same in the current frame. Once
a frame, the renderer hashes the document's patterns, symbols and
images. It hashes their art and pixels by the addresses of their
shared values, and it keeps weak references to those values while a
raster made with them is kept, so no other value can take one of those
addresses. A filtered raster also records the color channels its
filters split, and under De-Interlace the raster resolution.
A temporary release test timed the inputs of 400 kept rasters at about
10 microseconds a frame.
The check added for #1396 dropped the inner contour only when the path itself fell in the hole, which takes a stroke more than twice as wide as the shape. Between one and two times the size (a 30 pt ellipse with a 50 pt stroke), and on rectangles with round or bevel joins, the hole stayed.
An offset contour is now left out when no point of it lies half the weight from its subpath: it is then nowhere the edge of the stroke. Subpaths are judged one by one, and only when the stroke is at least as wide as the subpath's bounds, so ordinary strokes take the same single call as before.
The renderer drew each symbol instance by copying its symbol's art,
staining the copy for a stained instance and moving every object in it
by the instance's transform, in every frame. The copies were new
nodes, so the caches the renderer keys by a node's address (cull
bounds, path geometry, glyph layouts, live-effect geometry) missed for
every object of every instance, and the copies stayed in those caches
until they were pruned. Stroke outlines missed as well, because their
cache uses an entry only when the entry holds the node being drawn.
The renderer copied and moved the art of inline graphics in type the
same way.
The renderer now keeps the art it places in a frame cache with a
64 MiB budget, under the address of the symbol's art, the transform,
whether strokes scale with it, and the instance's stain. When the art
is a group or a layer without an appearance of its own, the renderer
copies none of it in a frame whose instances and symbols did not
change, and the objects in it hit the caches keyed by their own
address (cull bounds and paths, glyph layouts, live-effect geometry).
The stroke-outline cache keys a stroke by its address in the
appearance. In the art placed for an unstained instance, each object
without a gradient fill or stroke shares its appearance with the same
object in the symbol's art. When a symbol has two or more unstained
instances, the renderer therefore still outlines the strokes of those
objects again for each instance in every frame. Moving or restaining
an instance, or editing its symbol's art, places that art again, and
the other instances keep theirs. Other art is placed again in every
frame, as before, and so is art that holds a symbol instance, type
with an inline graphic, an image, a placed document, a blend, an
envelope, a repeat or a raster effect. Art that holds type is placed
again when the fonts change.
vectorcraft-cli bench of a symbol of eight paths (three filled and
stroked, two only filled, three only stroked) shown by 2,000
unstained instances took 51.6 ms a frame on main and 32.3 ms with
this change, at 2880x1800 on 8 threads; the same paths in 2,000
groups took 26.0 ms. The peak working set of a bench run at that size
went from 150 MiB to 83 MiB. In the tests, a renderer that keeps
placed art draws the same pixels as a new renderer, and instances
draw the same pixels as groups of their placed art.
Each pointer move of a drag applies the move to the interaction's
snapshot, so the dragged object is a new node in every frame. The
renderer kept the rasters of an object's drop shadows, outer glows and
filtered content (Gaussian Blur, Feather and the Photoshop-style
filters) only for the same node, so every frame of a drag ran those
effects again. On main, a moved frame of texture_drag_perf (a CMYK
rounded rectangle at 190.07% and DPI 1.5 in an 1800 x 1500 view) took
112 to 197 ms in a release build.
The canvas now renders with RenderOptions::interacting while a drag or
a dialog's preview is in progress. When an object misses its cached
raster in such a frame, the renderer takes the raster an earlier frame
made for an object with the same id, slot and ink at the same zoom and
rotation, made by the same effects from content of the same size (to
within 0.000001 pt). It draws the object's content into a raster
placed as that one was and compares the pixels byte for byte (only the
alpha under a shadow or glow). For Feather it also compares the points
of the clip outline, to within 0.000001 pt. When they match, the old
raster is drawn at the new place, rounded to a whole pixel, as a pan
draws a cached raster. Content under De-Interlace never takes a moved
raster, and a raster made over moved rasters counts as moved itself.
A frame rendered without interacting never draws such a raster, or a
raster made over one: the frame after the drag runs the effects again
and draws what a fresh renderer draws. The canvas's cache key includes
whether an interaction is in progress. On the desktop, the canvas
sends the frame after an interaction to the render worker when the
frame shown drew moved rasters. Each cached raster keeps the content it
was made from, within the existing 512 MiB budget. The pixels kept
with a filtered raster take as many bytes as the raster, and the alpha
kept with a shadow or glow takes a quarter as many as the shadow.
texture_drag_perf now renders a drag's frames as the canvas does, then
the frame after the drag, and that frame once more with every raster
cached. A moved frame now takes 20 to 26 ms, close to the 18 to 25 ms
of the cached frame; the frame after the drag takes 110 to 189 ms.

Preferences › Appearance of Black › On Screen was stored and never read.
Display All Blacks Accurately (the default) shows pure CMYK black, black
ink alone at 100%, through the working CMYK profile, a dark grey, as the
canvas always did. Display All Blacks as Rich Black now shows it on the
canvas as RGB black: fills, strokes, type, gradient stops, effect colours
and pattern tiles, and in CMYK documents drawn by ink planes a pixel
whose inks come out as black ink alone. Rich blacks, black tints and
placed images show the same either way; exports and printing are
unchanged (Printing / Exporting is a separate option).
The renderer gets RenderOptions::rich_black, painted with a new
Ink::RichBlack (screen colours with pure black as RGB black) and applied
by ink::compose. The canvas sets it from blackOnScreen and keeps it in
its cache key, so changing the preference redraws.
A headless frame test reads the canvas raster: K100 shows its profile
grey by default, RGB black with rich, a rich black unchanged, and grey
again with accurate. A render test covers the opaque and ink-plane paths
and checks that rich blacks, tints and images don't change.

Rarely set fields move into one optional boxed NodeExtras, and large NodeKind payloads (images,
live shapes, blends, envelopes) are boxed. Every object, and every undo step that copies it,
shrinks: a 50k-path move keeps ~24.5 MB per step instead of ~40 MB. Files stay byte-identical
(Node keeps its flat JSON through a borrowed Serialize and a from-wire Deserialize, no flatten),
and loading is slightly faster. Undo and redo reuse their step's size estimate instead of
walking the document again (8.3 -> 5.6 ms for a 50k-path move).

Text geometry, clips, clip paints, effect art, brushes, live effects, pattern tiles and freeform
grids were capped by entry count and cleared wholesale on overflow, so a document past the cap
(e.g. more than 4,096 type objects) recomputed every entry on every frame. A FrameCache keeps
per-entry byte sizes and last-used frames, drops the least recently used entries of earlier
frames, and sweeps stale ones. Text geometry keeps its glyph outlines once instead of twice.

Decoded images were kept per Renderer at full resolution and never evicted, so the canvas,
render worker, thumbnails and panels each held their own copy (96 MB per 24 MP photo).
They now live once in a process-wide LRU store keyed by content, with optional mip levels
(RenderOptions::image_mips, off by default so exports stay identical). Thumbnail renders
now sweep their caches, and shadow/effect rasters share a 512 MiB budget and match by Arc.

Every edit of an object copied its whole appearance (its fills, strokes and effects, about
540 bytes for a basic object) into the new node, though a move leaves it as it is. Over 45
whole-selection moves of 10,000 paths, undo history grew by 589 MB; now 349 MB (41 % less), and
a nudge or a drag of the selection takes 12 ms instead of 15.
- Node::appearance is a vectorcraft_doc::Shared<Appearance>: copy-on-write. A clone shares it,
and the first change through DerefMut copies it (Arc::make_mut). Reads, writes, equality (also
against a plain Appearance) and the saved form are those of the Appearance itself, so call
sites read and change it as before. Sites that build or assign a whole appearance add .into(),
and the few that need a plain copy take (*n.appearance).clone().
- Node::transform changes the appearance only when it has gradients to transform, and pattern
paints are transformed only when there are some: a move no longer copies an appearance it
doesn't change.
The workspace suite (5,301 tests) and clippy pass with the change; the doc and engine suites
pass again after the transform guard.

The automatic rasterizer thread count was one per core up to 4. On a 10-core Apple M2 Pro, 8
workers are faster (9 are slower again), and vello_cpu draws the same pixels with any number:
- fit page, 50,000 paths: 66.7 → 56.6 ms; after a pan 66.4 → 51.2 ms
- 400 % zoom, 50,000 paths: 17.8 → 15.7 ms (back under its 16 ms budget)
- fit page, 100,000 paths: 137 → 105 ms; 400 % zoom 33.0 → 25.8 ms
Machines with 5 cores or fewer keep their count, and Preferences → Performance and
VECTORCRAFT_RENDER_THREADS still override it. pixels_do_not_depend_on_the_thread_count renders
a page of live effects and 400 overlapping translucent objects with 0, 1, 4 and 8 workers and
gets the same pixels.

A node with live geometry effects (Offset Path, Outline Stroke, Warp, Transform, Roughen…) had
them computed again on every frame: Offset Path's curve offsetting and boolean sweep for every
object, every time the canvas redrew. Rendering 2,000 paths that each have Offset Path, warm:
175 → 11.8 ms.
The renderer keeps each node's effected geometry, and each appearance item's own geometry
effects on it, keyed by the node's Arc identity like its other per-node caches. The entry keeps
the Arc alive, so a hit is exact and an edited object (a new node) gets new geometry. Only the
node draw_arc is drawing uses the cache: its path comes from the node alone, so its effects give
the same result every frame. Entries not drawn for three frames are swept like the rest.
cached_effect_geometry_draws_the_same_pixels renders a page of Offset Path, Roughen + Drop
Shadow, Warp + Outline Stroke and Transform objects (with item-level Offset Path) cold, warm,
after a pan and with a fresh renderer, and gets the same pixels each time; after an edit, the
warm renderer draws what a fresh one does. Keying the cache by node id instead of identity fails
it. The render suite (216 tests, golden images included) passes unchanged.

A property test of the importers (import_fuzz) crashed CI with
STATUS_STACK_BUFFER_OVERRUN: a shape with coordinates in the 1e20s from a
mutated file made vello_cpu either panic in flatten_simd on a rayon
worker (rayon then aborts the process, so the engine's panic guard never
sees it) or ask for a 132 GB allocation, which aborts too. A malformed
file could end the app and lose the user's work.
draw_shape now leaves a shape undrawn when its control points, through
the view, aren't finite or reach past 1e10 pixels, or a visible stroke
is that wide (MAX_DEVICE). A document's art stays within 4 million
points, 2.6e9 pixels at the closest zoom, and vello was checked safe
with 90,000 random shapes within 1e9 pixels and 30,000 within 1e12.

The canvas built its peniko gradients premultiplied (peniko's default), while
Gradient::sample, the PDF export (shading plus SMask) and SVG viewers blend
colour and opacity separately: a transparent white stop into black drew grey
127 halfway instead of 191. Opaque gradients are unchanged.
Asset Export, File › Export, Save for Web and Object › Rasterize drew
each shape with its own smoothed edge, so where two shapes met edge to
edge (Divide, Shape Builder, abutting art) both half-covered the pixels
on the line and the background showed through as a thin ghost border.
With Art Optimized (the default) these now supersample, as the option's
name in Illustrator says: the art is drawn with hard edges at four times
the size (three or two times for large images, within a 40-megapixel
budget and the renderer's 65,535-pixel side) and each block averaged
into one pixel. Pixels shared by two shapes are fully owned by one or
the other at the finer size, so no seam is left, and the outer edges
are still smooth. The canvas keeps shape-by-shape smoothing for speed;
None and Type Optimized are unchanged.
RenderOptions::supersample turns it on (exports and Rasterize set it).
A render test checks two triangles sharing a diagonal: a seam with
shape-by-shape smoothing, none supersampled, and the factor's limits.

Six raster effects on the pixel-filter pipeline
(vectorcraft_effects::pixel::texture), under a new Effect › Texture
submenu between Sharpen and Video in the Raster Effects section:
- Craquelure (crackSpacing pt 2..100, default 15; crackDepth 0..10, 6;
crackBrightness 0..10, 9): the object on relief plaster that cracks into
plates about Crack Spacing apart (a Voronoi network over jittered points)
and along the quarter, half and three-quarter contours of its softened
tones. Depth sets how dark and wide the cracks are and how high the
plates' bevels and the tones stand (lit from the top left); Brightness
how brightly the surface is lit.
- Grain (intensity 0..100, 40; contrast 0..100, 50 = unchanged; grainType
Regular, Soft, Sprinkles, Clumped, Contrasty, Enlarged, Stippled,
Horizontal, Vertical, Speckle; default Regular): coloured 1-point grains,
smooth ones, clumps, 2-point grains, streaks along rows or columns, dark
specks; Sprinkles and Stippled use the background colour, white.
- Mosaic Tiles (tileSize pt 2..100, 12; groutWidth 1..15, 3; lightenGrout
0..10, 9): irregular tiles bevelled at their edges, with sunken grout half
a point wide per step, lightened as Lighten Grout says.
- Patchwork (squareSize pt 0..10, 4; relief 0..25, 8): squares filled with
the colour around their centres, raised to heights that follow the
highlights and shadows, a little more or less at random.
- Stained Glass (cellSize pt 2..50, 10; borderThickness 1..20, 4;
lightIntensity 0..10, 3): single-coloured panes leaded in the foreground
colour (black, half a point per step), lit from behind at the object's
centre and fading out towards its corners (PixelSpace gains `extent`).
- Texturizer (texture Brick, Burlap, Canvas, Sandstone, default Canvas;
scaling % 50..200, 100; relief 0..50, 4; lightDirection Bottom, Bottom
Left, Left, Top Left, Top, Top Right, Right, Bottom Right, default Top;
invert): the object on a surface in relief. The four surfaces are height
fields generated in code (bricks in stretcher bond, plain weaves coarse
and fine, octaves of smooth noise); no image files. Load Texture is left
out.
Every pattern lies in document space around the object's centre, so the
result is the same at any zoom or raster resolution, moves with the object
and is identical on every redraw (hash noise of cell indices); slopes are
taken in document units. Work per pixel is bounded (a 5 x 5 cell search,
four or five height samples, box blurs); parameters are clamped to their
ranges and finite-checked. The Pixelate helpers (Place, the cell search,
the softened colours) are shared, Mezzotint uses the shared smooth noise,
and the effect dialogs' dropdowns translate their labels in an "effect"
context where the plain word means something else (Soft, Horizontal and
Vertical are type settings in Japanese and Chinese).
Catalogue rows with parameter docs, outsets and reaches, menu entries,
dropdowns (Grain Type, Texture, Light Direction), translations, tests
(parameters and clamping, cracks and contours, ten distinct grains, tiles
and grout, squares in relief, leaded panes and the centre light, the
textures lit and inverted, the same at twice the resolution and when
moved, canvas, multithreaded, PDF and SVG, the command sweep with junk
parameters, the dialogs and the menu) and ROADMAP.

Adds the Video group to the raster effects, after Sharpen:
- De-Interlace…: Eliminate Odd or Even Fields, Create New Fields by
Duplication or Interpolation. The fields are the rows of the document's
raster grid (Document Raster Effects Settings › Resolution, carried to
the filters as PixelSpace::line) counted from the top of the page, so
the result is the same at any zoom and moves with the page. A line
taken out copies the line above (the one below at the top), or takes
the average of the two.
- NTSC Colors (no options, applied at once): colours a composite
television signal can't carry, with luma plus chroma past 110 % of white
or luma minus chroma below -20 % in YIQ, have their chroma cut to fit,
keeping their luma. Saturated yellow, cyan and pure red lose some
saturation; legal colours stay as they are.

Four Photoshop-style raster effects on the pixel-filter pipeline
(vectorcraft_effects::pixel::pixelate), under a new Effect › Pixelate
submenu between Blur and Sharpen in the Raster Effects section:
- Color Halftone (maxRadius 4..127, default 8; channel1..channel4 screen
angles -360..360, defaults 108/162/90/45): each colour channel is
screened at its angle in square cells sized so a dot of Max. Radius
fills one; each cell's dot covers the share of the cell that is the
channel's coverage-weighted mean there (white stays white, black
black). RGB documents screen R, G, B (channels 1 to 3); CMYK documents
screen C, M, Y, K inks (channels 1 to 4), also when they are drawn ink
plane by ink plane (the K plane uses channel 4).
- Crystallize (cellSize 3..300, default 10): every pixel takes the
colour at the nearest of one jittered point per cell (exact Voronoi
over a 5 x 5 neighbourhood, pruned by distance).
- Mezzotint (type: Fine/Medium/Grainy/Coarse Dots, Short/Medium/Long
Lines, Short/Medium/Long Strokes; default Fine Dots; a dropdown in the
dialog): each channel is turned fully on or off against its own random
threshold pattern, so the object becomes pure colours.
- Pointillize (cellSize 3..300, default 5): one dot of random size per
cell at a jittered point, coloured by the softened object there and as
opaque as the object at its centre, stacked in random order over a
white canvas where the object is.
Lengths are in points (Scale Strokes & Effects scales them) and every
pattern lies in document space around the object's centre, so the
result is the same at any zoom or raster resolution, moves with the
object, and is identical on every redraw (hash noise of the pattern's
cell indices, no state). Work per pixel is bounded whatever the
parameters, which are clamped to their ranges and finite-checked; the
halftone's cell grid is capped by the raster's size and a screen finer
than 3 pixels leaves the image as it is (its average). PixelSpace gains
`channels` so the renderer tells the filters what the channels hold.
Catalogue rows with parameter docs, outsets and reaches for cropping,
menu entries, dialog labels (Max. Radius, Channel 1-4, Cell Size), the
Mezzotint Type dropdown, translations, and tests: parameters and
clamping, tone and coverage, CMYK inks, polygon crystals, pure-colour
mezzotints with ten distinct patterns, dots on a white canvas, the same
result at twice the resolution and when moved, the canvas, PDF and SVG

and the menu.

While a group or layer was isolated, clicks, hovers and drags still
reached the art outside it, and that art drew as usual. Now only the
isolated container's contents hit: the art around it is locked and
clicks pass through it. On the canvas it draws at half opacity, above
the group as well as below, each run of it as one dimmed layer.

Gaussian Blur and Feather drew through a filter layer whose blur works on
a coarser grid tied to the canvas: the blurred art moved by up to about
a pixel, and its steps showed, as the view moved by parts of a pixel
(scrolling, zooming about the pointer). They now blur the content's own
pixels on the CPU, as the Photoshop-style effects already do: the same
look wherever the view is, cached while only the view moves.

- Fit to Artwork Bounds fits the art exports draw: hidden objects and
layers, guides and template layers don't count, and the bounds stop at
a layer's clip.
- The comparison with the page catches an object one draws that the
other doesn't (pixels whose neighbours all differ, away from type), a
light colour against white, and, for an EPS whose page is its art's
box, art the layers print outside it.

The styles were stored on the text and written to SVG's text-decoration,
but the type was drawn without the lines. vectorcraft_text::decorations
now gives each underlined or struck-through stretch of a run on a line
its bar, placed and sized from the font's own underline and strikeout
metrics (with fallbacks for fonts that have none). The canvas, Create
Outlines, PDF export (outlined and real text) and SVG's outlined text

A font library can hold two versions of one family and style (a new
Montserrat-Bold.ttf beside an old montserrat.ttf). The font database kept
only the first one loaded, so type set in the other couldn't be matched
when a PDF or .ai was opened: it came in as outlines. Now every version
loads (the first stays the one family and style resolve to), PDF import
tries the other versions when the glyphs differ, and type set in a version
the family and style alone wouldn't pick names it in CharStyle::font_version
(left out when None, so documents without it are unchanged). Layout,
shaping, the substituted-glyph highlight, Find Font, Package and Document
Info follow it; changing the font clears it.

Document symbols placed inline in a run of type (beyond Illustrator; like
InDesign inline anchored objects): TextRun.inline holds the symbol, scale and
shift; the run is one U+FFFC laid out as a glyph sized to the art, centred on
the cap height. text.insertInline and Type > Insert Inline Symbol; editing
keeps the graphic whole; canvas, SVG (<use>) and PDF draw the art; Create
Outlines turns it into a symbol instance.
A PDF's DeviceCMYK image opened as RGB (the interpreter's pixels as a PNG),
so every export wrote it as DeviceRGB or ICC RGB, silently. Images now keep
their CMYK samples, as CMYK colours already did:
- Model: CMYK images are blobs holding CMYK samples, a four-component JPEG
(Adobe's inverted samples) or a Deflate CMYK TIFF. vectorcraft-doc's cmyk
module reads their ink amounts (ImageBlob::is_cmyk, ::cmyk, capped at 64
megapixels) and writes the TIFF (ImageBlob::cmyk_tiff).
- PDF import: DeviceCMYK, CalCMYK and four-component ICC images keep their
samples. A JPEG with Decode [1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0] is kept byte for byte; any
other is decoded (8 or 16 bits, its Decode array applied) and stored as a
CMYK TIFF. Masked CMYK images and 1/2/4-bit ones open in RGB with a warning.
Placing a CMYK TIFF keeps it CMYK too.
- PDF export: CMYK images are written in CMYK (DeviceCMYK, or ICC-based with
the CMYK profile when colours are tagged: PDF/X-3, PDF/X-4, PDF/A). A CMYK
JPEG neither resampled nor recompressed passes through unchanged; others are
resampled in CMYK and compressed as ZIP or as a CMYK JPEG (jpeg-encoder,
which also replaces the ZIP fallback and its warning for images converted to
CMYK). Output conversion treats them like CMYK colours: Preserve Numbers and
PDF/X-1a keep their numbers, Convert to Destination converts them to another
CMYK profile or to RGB through a 17^4 lookup table (cms::CmykLut, now also
behind the renderer's ink table). A CMYK image that can't be decoded is
reported in the warnings.
- Canvas: CMYK images show through the working CMYK profile, as CMYK fills
do, and paint their own inks in ink planes (CMYK raster exports, CMYK
blending). SVG export writes TIFF images as PNG.
Illustrator's Output › No Conversion keeps colour data as it is
(https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/pdf-options.html).

Art in a sublayer is now selected as objects (clicks, marquee, Select All, the
Select menu), sublayers select in their own colour, and hidden, locked or
template sublayers block clicks. Layer Options gain Preview (per-layer outline)
and Dim Images. New and fixed layer.* commands for the Layers panel: setCurrent
and highlight (rows at any depth), selectAll, move (reparent with cycle and
nesting checks, Alt copies), delete/duplicate rows, merge, flatten, collect,
release to layers, reverse, template, hide/outline/lock others and their
show/preview/unlock all, locate.

Documents made elsewhere often name a font differently from the family
name VectorCraft lists: a localized family name (ヒラギノ角ゴシック), a
legacy family/style pair (Hiragino Sans + W3) or a PostScript name
(HiraginoSans-W3). FontDb now indexes every name in a face's name table
and resolves a request to the right face, telling the caller whether it
matched exactly, by another name, by substitution or not at all
(FontMatch).
- text: FaceKeys/aliases, FontDb::resolve, canonical, find_postscript;
fix a race where a face loaded by another thread was reported missing.
- engine: text.fonts reports status, the resolved face and missing
glyphs; Replace Font resolves the same way.
- render: substituted-font highlighting uses resolve, so a font found
by another name is no longer shown as missing.
- Find Font notes how each font was found.
- Preferences › Type › Include Fonts of Other Design Apps' Folders
(macOS, on by default).

Type and symbol instances attached to a plane keep their art and carry a projection
(Node.perspective.projection, append-only); the canvas and every export draw their outlines
through it (reshape/bake), so they are foreshortened and stay type and symbol instances. Bounds,
hit testing and transforms follow the projection. Object › Perspective › Edit Text
(perspective.editText, or double-clicking with the Perspective Selection tool) shows the type flat
where it is drawn in isolation mode; exiting isolation projects it again. Release with
Perspective keeps their look. Copies, pastes, duplicates and Selection-tool moves keep the
attachment (the art moves as dragged). Flare, spiral and polar grid draw on the active plane, and
so do the click-to-size shape dialogs (perspective.draw `at`: sizes in plane units).

- Images distort as a raster mesh warp: cut by Fidelity into triangles,
each a clipped image under the affine map of its corners (pieces overlap
slightly, no seams; the renderer paints them without clip layers; SVG
writes the pixels once and <use>s them).
- Symbol instances distort as their symbol's art (the renderer's cache
follows edits to the symbol).
- Distort Appearance bakes strokes (filled outlines) and geometry effects
before bending; Distort Linear Gradients bends linear gradients; Distort
Pattern Fills bends the tiles. Opacity masks of the content bend too.
- Bug fix: a rotated, sheared or reflected warp envelope re-warped along
the page axes. Envelopes now keep their own frame (append-only model
field), so the warp turns with the art; move and scale keep it square.
- Live evaluation shares one set of hooks (vectorcraft_doc::live::Hooks,
vectorcraft_effects::{expand_live, expanded_live_group,
expand_live_deep}) between the canvas, Expand and every exporter.

Closed shapes start where they twist least (unless the Blend tool
picked the anchors); dashes, miter limit, arrowhead scale and width
profiles interpolate (caps, joins and brushes switch halfway);
gradients with different stop counts resample to common stops; groups
with different member counts grow the extra members out of a point;
compound steps stay compound paths; type, symbol instances and images
interpolate their transforms, type its colours and sizes run by run.
New blends are knockout groups and the canvas draws them knocked out
as the exports do. Expand and Release keep the blend's name,
transparency, opacity mask and appearance, and Object > Expand expands
blends.

Every exporter (SVG, PDF, EPS, EMF/WMF, DXF) evaluated live objects with no
text outliner, so type inside an envelope was written undistorted. They now
share vectorcraft_effects::expand_live_deep, which outlines type per run in
each run's paint, as the canvas now does too (it used the first run's paint
for the whole line).

Type > Font, the Character, Properties and Glyphs panels and Find Font list
every installed font by default, as the reference app does, instead of the
four bundled families. The family dropdowns get a search field that filters
the list as you type (Enter picks the first match) and open on the current
font. Show System Fonts, which no longer means anything, becomes Refresh Font
List (text.rescanFonts): it picks up fonts installed since the app started and
redraws type set in them without editing the document. text.fontList lets MCP
agents list the families and a family's styles.
Root cause: the font lists came from FontDb::families(), which only held the
bundled fonts until something scanned the system fonts (fixed with #130). The
Type > Font menu, rebuilt every frame, now builds its items once per font
change, and renderers lay type out again when the fonts change.

The issue asked for non-destructive colour adjustments in the Effect menu
and the Appearance panel that work on vector paints, live type and
embedded images. Only the destructive Edit Colors commands existed, and
the live-effect pipeline only knew geometry and raster effects.
Effect > Color Adjustments adds six effects (adjust.*). They recolour,
in stack order, everything an object paints with: fills and strokes
(gradient stops too), type, gradient meshes, embedded images and a
group's members, each colour keeping its model. The Edit Colors walk over
an object's colours moved to vectorcraft_doc::recolor so the commands
and the live effects share it. The renderer draws adjusted art through
its object-effect path (recoloured images cached within a memory
budget), exports bake the adjusted colours (images as recoloured
copies), and Expand Appearance makes them permanent. The effect dialog
shows sliders, a channel menu and a draggable Curves graph, all previewed
live as one undo step.

document.export {format: "psd"} writes layered bitmaps (8 bits per channel),
written from the format's public specification: RGB, CMYK (ink amounts) or
grayscale, the resolution and an embedded profile, PackBits channels, and the
merged image (the flat render). layers (default true) draws each top-level
layer alone as a pixel layer, cropped to what it paints, with its name,
opacity and blend mode; a background colour becomes a Background layer.
maxEditability turns layers and sublayers into groups and every object into a
layer named as the Layers panel names it (text by its text); clipping, masked,
knockout or appearance-carrying layers stay one layer. hiddenLayers writes
hidden layers hidden instead of leaving them out; layers: false writes a flat
image on white. At most 30000 pixels a side.
Export As offers PSD with the psdOptions dialog (the PNG Options rows, then
Color Model, Flat Image / Write Layers with Maximum Editability and Include
Hidden Layers, Embed ICC Profile). Tests read the files back with the psd
crate (MIT OR Apache-2.0, a dev-dependency).

File > Export > Save for Web (Legacy) (Ctrl/Cmd+Alt+Shift+S) opens a dialog with Original,
Optimized, 2-Up and 4-Up views showing each file's size and download time, and settings for
colour reduction, colours, dither, transparency and matte, interlacing, web snap, lossy GIF,
JPEG quality, the colour table (lock, map to transparent, web shift, sort), image size and
anti-aliasing, Clip to Artboard, sRGB, metadata, slices (all or selected), HTML output and
presets. Preview in Browser opens the HTML page.
Engine: document.exportForWeb, document.exportForWeb.preview (its byte count is the size of
the file Save writes), webExport.settings and webExport.presets.list/save/delete. Saved presets
and the remembered settings are stored in Prefs. Render: quantize_locked, and encode::web for
web snap, colour table edits, lossy GIF and GIF/JPEG comments. PNG files get an sRGB chunk.

document.export {format: "tga"} writes uncompressed true-colour Targa files
through the raster export path (resolution, background, anti-aliasing,
artboard ranges): depth 16 (5-5-5 with a one-bit alpha), 24 (flattened on
white) or 32 (8-bit alpha), rows bottom-up, with the version 2 footer.
Export As offers it with the tgaOptions dialog (Depth).

document.export {format: "bmp"} writes BMP through the raster export path:
depth 1 (black and white), 4 or 8 (a palette by reduction and dither,
optionally RLE4/RLE8), 16 (5-5-5), 24 or 32 (with alpha, a version 4
header); colorModel rgb or gray; fileFormat windows or os2 (a core header);
flipRows writes top-down rows (a negative height). Impossible combinations
are refused as bad params. Export As offers it with the bmpOptions dialog,
which keeps its choices writable together; BMP moves from read-only to read
and write (tests that used .bmp as the unwritable format now use .dwg).
