With Double Click To Isolate on, the Selection tool isolated groups only. A
double-click on a single path, compound path, image, mesh or placed file now
isolates it too, as the public documentation describes. Type still switches to
the Type tool; blends, envelopes, repeats and symbol instances keep their own
editing modes.
While a single object is isolated only it is hit, marqueed and taken by Select
All, new art goes beside it in its group or layer, and a double-click on the
empty canvas leaves with it selected. object.isolate accepts any object except
type.
Rounding a single corner is done by selecting that corner, then
dragging its widget: a drag on a path selected whole rounds every
corner with both tools, as before. What was missing is selecting the
corner on the widget itself. With the Direct Selection tool a plain
click on a corner widget (press and release, no drag) now selects that
corner, as a click on the corner's anchor does; Shift-click toggles it.
The widget is then the only one showing, and the next drag on it rounds
that corner alone.
Unchanged: Alt-click cycles the corner kind, the Selection tool's click
on a widget does nothing, corners picked by their anchors edit together.
Test: corners::tests::a_click_on_a_widget_with_direct_selection_selects_its_corner.

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).

With Smart Guides off, the Selection tool grabbed the selection by the
pressed spot, so Snap to Point brought the pointer onto another anchor
while the object's own anchor stayed a few pixels off. A press within
reach of an anchor now grabs the object by that anchor (Smart Guides on
or off, also without a hover event first), and the arrow turns hollow
over such an anchor while Snap to Point is on.

Fixes#1273. A selected group or compound path shows its paths' anchors
with the Pen, but Pen + Alt only looked at paths selected directly, so an
Alt-click there started a new path instead of converting the anchor.

Clicking an anchor of a path selected whole (or one of several selected
anchors) with the Direct Selection tool left the selection as it was,
so the clicked anchor never became the selected one and Live Corners
and the anchor controls kept acting on every corner. A plain click now
selects that anchor alone, as the public documentation describes (a
click selects the anchor point, Shift-click adds others):
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/draw-shapes-and-paths/modify-paths/select-anchor-points-in-paths.html
The press keeps the selection so a drag still moves every selected
anchor with the one held; only the release without a drag narrows it.
Shift still toggles, Alt still picks the whole path, and an anchor that
wasn't selected is still selected on the press.

Agents could set and clear the key object but not read it:
document.inspect, the control channel's ui.pointer reply and the
headless pointer_gesture reply left it out, and select.key returned
null. select.key with an id that was not selected, or with a value
that is not an id, such as "x", cleared the key without an error. A
compound-path member or an object inside a selected group could become
the key.
select.key now checks its id as select.set, select.add and
select.toggle do (#784). It returns an error for an id that is not a
selected top-level object and leaves the key as it was. Layers,
compound-path members and objects inside another selected object are
not top-level objects. select.key {id: null} used to clear the key and
is now an error; select.key {} still clears it. select.key returns
{key}, and document.inspect and both pointer replies include the key
object as "key".
In isolation mode a Selection-tool click can pick an object that
select.key does not accept as the key: a sublayer inside an isolated
layer, a member inside an isolated compound path, or an object in an
isolated group that is also selected. The tool no longer sends
select.key {id} for such an object. When the object is already the
key, the tool still sends select.key {}, which clears the key.
A recorded action whose select.key step names an object that is not a
selected top-level object when the action plays now fails and is
rolled back, as an action with a select.set step naming a deleted
object has failed since #784.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/control-protocol.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
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.

With Smart Guides on, a selection moved by the Selection tool only lined
its bounds up with the other art: grabbed by an anchor and dropped near
another object's anchor, it could stop a fraction of a point beside it
where an edge lined up instead. When the grabbed point comes within the
snapping tolerance of an anchor or a centre, it now lands on it, as
Smart Guides' anchor snapping does.
The Type tool's Left and Right arrows and Delete moved one code point at
a time, so the caret could stop between a Thai consonant and its vowel
or tone marks (or inside an accented letter or emoji sequence), where
typing or deleting splits the cluster. They now step over extended
grapheme clusters. Backspace still takes back one character at a time,
as Thai typists expect for a mistyped tone mark.

The Anchor Point tool drags any segment of a selected blend's spine into
a curve, straight ones too, and Direct Selection reshapes a curved spine
segment as it does a path's (a straight one it leaves, as on paths). Both
run the new `object.blend.spine.reshapeSegment`, which bends the segment
with the same math as `path.reshapeSegment`, now shared as
`SubPath::bend_segment`.

A corner is now any anchor that isn't smooth where two sides meet at an
angle, straight or curved, as in Illustrator. The cut meets each side at
its setback measured along the curve, leaves both sides along their
tangents there, and each curved side is trimmed to what the cuts at its
ends leave of it. The largest radius is still the one taking the cut
halfway along the shorter side, measured along the curve. Corners
between straight sides draw exactly as before.

The Artboard tool and the Artboards panel only ever had one artboard
selected, so Shift-clicking another didn't add it. As in Illustrator:
- Artboard tool: Shift-click adds an artboard to the selection (it
becomes active) or takes one out; a plain click on a selected one keeps
the selection, so a drag moves them all (Alt copies them all, the
copies becoming the selection), and Delete removes them all, one
artboard always staying. The other selected artboards show dashed
bounds; `selected` is a tool option.
- Artboards panel: with the Artboard tool, Shift- or Ctrl/Cmd-click on a
row adds or removes it, every selected row is highlighted, and Delete
Artboard removes them all.
- `artboard.move` and `artboard.delete` take `indices` besides `index`:
several artboards in one undo step, each with its art (an object moved
once where artboards overlap).

A star's inner radius was always half its outer one while drawing, so
its ratio couldn't be changed. As Illustrator documents for the Star
tool: Ctrl/Cmd during the drag keeps the inner radius where it is while
the outer one follows the pointer (the new ratio stays once the key is
let go, for the rest of the drag and the next stars), and Alt keeps the
star's shoulders straight (each point's sides in line with the next
points', a ratio of cos(2π/n)/cos(π/n); five points or more).

The snap targets of a copy were gathered when Alt went down, from the document
as previewed, where the original had already moved with the drag, so the
original was never a target where it stays. Now both target sets (for a move,
and for a copy, which includes the original) are gathered when the drag
begins, and Alt picks between them each frame: for Direct Selection drags by
an anchor and for whole-object moves (the Selection tool's, and Direct
Selection's from a segment or fill).

Pressing an anchor of paths that are all selected whole now moves them as
objects held by that anchor, so Alt pressed or released during the drag turns
the copy on and off (the original shows or not), as with the Selection tool.
The anchor keeps snapping all along, onto the original only while a copy
leaves it behind. With only some anchors selected the drag still moves just
those.
A committed move drag is now named for what it did in the end (Copy or Move),
for the Selection tool too.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Alt-dragging a path by an anchor moved the copy with whole-object snapping
(bounds only, from the press point), so the anchor couldn't land exactly on
another anchor. Now the pressed anchor (its own coordinates, not the pointer's)
snaps as a dragged anchor does: onto other paths' anchors and segments and
Smart Guides, and onto the original the copy leaves behind. The history says
Copy for an Alt-drag.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Alt-pressing a segment already picked the whole path and Alt-drag copied it,
but a press on an anchor ignored Alt and only moved the selected anchors. Now
Alt on an anchor picks the whole path too, so Alt-drag duplicates it as the
Selection tool's does.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
A path with all its anchors selected is stored whole (no partial entry), so
pressing one of its anchors looked unselected and replaced the selection with
that anchor alone; the drag then moved just it. Now an anchor of a path
selected whole counts as selected: the press keeps the selection and the drag
moves every anchor. Shift-press still deselects that one anchor.

A ruler guide goes on the current layer (guide.add {layer}), shows,
hides, locks and is deleted with its layer, is listed in the Layers panel
as a row that selects it, and moves to another layer (guide.setLayer).
Guides on a hidden layer neither show nor snap; those on a locked layer
can't be picked.

Beside every corner of the bounding box the curved rotate cursor bowed
up. It now bows from the box's centre toward the pointer, in 45° steps
(Cursor::RotateToward, made by Cursor::rotate_about): at the top right
it opens toward the bottom left, at the bottom right toward the top left.
The Selection tool shows it over the rotate zone and while rotating (it
follows the pointer round), and Free Transform does the same.

Cursor::precise listed every Pen state but PenJoin (added later, #794), so with Use Precise
Cursors on the Pen still showed its join badge over another open path's end.
PenJoin is a crosshair too under the preference.
The Pen join test now also checks the pointer over the other path's end is the crosshair with
the preference on (and PenJoin with it off, as before).

The corner widgets only showed when the selection was exactly one path.
Now every selected path that has them shows its widgets: live rectangles
and polygons with the Selection tool, any path with Direct Selection,
each with its own corners (all of a path selected whole, the
Direct-Selected ones otherwise). Dragging any widget rounds every shown
corner of every path in one step, Alt-click cycles their kind, and the
red limit outline covers them all; a double-click opens Corners for the
path it was on. Each widget is drawn in its own layer's colour.
object.setLiveShape takes items: [{id, corners?}], several objects each
with its own corners, which the drag sends.

A Direct Selection (or Group Selection) marquee only gathered the
anchors of paths, so type, images, symbols and other objects without
anchors to pick were never selected by it. They are now selected whole
when the marquee touches them, as with the Selection tool, next to the
path anchors it holds; locked and hidden objects stay out.

Double-clicking a tool's button (or tool.options {tool}) now also opens:
- Artboard tool: Artboard Options of the active artboard (the Artboard
tool's while it is in use, else the window's);
- the graph tools: Graph Type for the selected graph (an error without
one), the dialog Object > Graph > Type opens;
- the Symbolism tools: Symbolism Tools Options with the brush the eight
tools share (Diameter, Intensity, Symbol Set Density);
- Magic Wand: the Magic Wand panel.
The Object > Graph dialogs' opener is shared with the toolbar. The new
labels are translated in the eight complete catalogs.

The Flare tool keeps its options (Center: Diameter, Opacity, Brightness;
Halo: Growth, Fuzziness; Rays: on/off, Number, Longest, Fuzziness; Rings:
on/off, Path, Number, Largest, Direction) as persistent tool options,
saved with the preferences. The next flare dragged out uses them (the drag
still sets the centre and diameter, and Up/Down the ray count), a click
with the tool opens them filled in, and double-clicking the tool (or
tool.options {tool: "flare"}) opens them to edit: OK keeps them and draws
nothing. Before, the click dialog was the generic parameter form with
fixed defaults and the drag always used the command's defaults.
The new Flare Tool Options dialog lays the four groups out in two
columns; Rays and Rings have their checkboxes, and every value is kept
within its range. Its labels are translated in the eight complete
catalogs.

Double-clicking a brush in the Brushes panel (or the panel menu's Brush
Options…) opens its options. Calligraphic Brush Options: Angle,
Roundness and Size, each Fixed, Random or Pressure with its Variation,
over live previews of the nib and of a stroke. Bristle Brush Options:
Shape and the bristle sliders. OK runs brush.options; strokes painted
with the brush update.
The Paintbrush records the pen pressure along a stroke (path.freehand
takes [x, y, pressure] points), and a Calligraphic brush with Pressure
variation changes its nib along the stroke, from the value less the
variation at the lightest pressure to the value plus it at the heaviest.
Brushes saved before keep their Random variation. Pen pressure doesn't
reach the app on macOS yet (winit 0.30 reports none there).

Dragging anchors with Direct Selection snapped to points, paths and
Smart Guides, but with Shift held the move kept its 45° angle and
snapped to nothing. The grabbed anchor now slides along the constrained
line onto the anchors, paths and alignment lines that cross it, as the
drawing tools' Shift does (counted from General › Constrain Angle).

The Curvature tool only edited the path it was drawing. It now edits any
selected path, whatever drew it, keeping its shape except where edited:
a click on a point makes it the current (direct-selected) point and a
drag moves it, re-curving only its two segments (the neighbours keep
their handle directions); Alt-click or double-click toggles it smooth or
corner and Delete removes it; a click on a segment adds a smooth point
without changing the shape, and a drag moves it in the same undo step.
With an end of an open path current, clicks go on from it (the old
segments keep their shape) and a click on the other end closes it.
The edits go through a new path.curvatureEdit command (move, insert,
extend, close), path.convertAnchor and path.removeAnchor, one undo step
each. The tool now claims Delete/Backspace while it has a point to
remove, so the key no longer deletes the whole path.

With Smart Guides on, hovering the Selection tool near an object's centre
or one of its anchors now labels it ("center", "anchor"), as
Illustrator does, and a press there grabs the object by that point, so
the point follows the pointer and snaps.

Drawing with Smart Guides on ignored the ruler guides: only with Smart
Guides off did Snap to Point use them (a vertical guide seemed to work
when it lay on the artboard's centre line, which Smart Guides follow).
With Snap to Point on, the ruler guides now pull drawn and dragged
points with Smart Guides on too, also while a point slides along a
construction guide or Shift's angle, as in Illustrator.

With the Artboard tool, the active artboard's name was drawn twice: by
the canvas, as for every artboard, and by the tool, in blue and a little
higher. The canvas now leaves that one to the tool, which draws it where
the canvas names the others.

As in Illustrator, the Pen shows its continue cursor over an end of any
open path, selected or not, and a click there selects the path and draws
on from that end (reversing it from its first end). While drawing, it
shows a join cursor over an end of another open path, and a click joins
the two into one path, in one undo step, which finishes the path.
path.join takes {ids: [a, b], ends: ["first"|"last", "first"|"last"]}
to join the ends asked for (the Pen's join); without them it joins the
selected paths' nearest ends as before. Joining a path with itself, or
anything that isn't a path, is an error.

Object › Crop Image and the image's Crop Image buttons (Control bar,
Properties) now show a crop box on the selected image, as Illustrator
does, instead of cropping straight to the artboard (which did nothing for
an image inside its artboard). The box starts on the image's part over its
artboard; its handles and its inside drag it, always within the image, and
the image outside it is dimmed. The Control bar shows its X/Y/W/H with
Apply and Cancel; Enter applies and Escape cancels, both back to the
Selection tool. Apply runs object.cropImage {rect}, one undo step.
- tools: the Crop Image tool (cropimage.rs), with crop_box shared by the
tool and the Control bar.
- ui: ui.cropImage (enabled with an image selected), the Control bar's
crop fields and buttons, "Apply" translated (es, fr, it, ru, uk, ja,
zh-hans, zh-hant).
