transparency.viewOpacityMask {on?, id?} shows only the opacity mask on the
canvas as greyscale coverage (luminance, clip and invert applied; the rest of
the art hidden) and enters mask editing; called again it shows the artwork and
keeps editing. The Transparency panel's mask thumbnail runs it on Alt-click and
is outlined in the accent colour while the mask is viewed. The state is
DocState.mask_view (shown while that mask is edited: DocState::shown_mask) and
reaches the renderer as RenderOptions.mask_view.

Window > Graphic Style Libraries and the Graphic Styles panel's library button open
read-only libraries of original styles generated in code (Shadows and Glows, Outlines
and Rules, Hand-Drawn, Gradient Finishes, Shape Effects, Blends and Transparency) in
the shared library panel. Clicking a style adds it and applies it to the selection as
one undo step (Alt: on top). Save Graphic Style Library writes .vcstyles JSON (styles
unlinked from swatches, with the patterns they paint with) to the user library folder
(User Defined) or a file; Other Library loads one, or another document's styles.
Commands: graphicStyle.libraries, graphicStyle.library, graphicStyle.addFromLibrary,
graphicStyle.saveLibrary, graphicStyle.loadLibrary; UI: window.graphicStyleLibrary
(.other), ui.saveGraphicStyleLibrary, window.userGraphicStyleLibrary1-10. The user and
loaded library bookkeeping is shared with swatch libraries.

Arrowhead gains 30 original shapes generated in code, appended after the first
ten so saved names stay stable: Barbed, Half Arrow (left/right), Concave,
Double Arrow, Chevron, Feather, Swallowtail, Reverse Triangle, Triangle to Bar,
Kite, Leaf, Drop, Half Circle, Oval, Target, Tag (+ open), Diamond (open),
Hexagon (+ open), Star, Cross, Plus, Double Bar, Dot on Bar, Slash, Double
Slash, Bracket and Fork. Each is drawn in local units of the head's weight
inside the usual 4 x 4 box, with its own stop for the stroke under it.
Arrowhead::label() names them in the menus. The Stroke panel's arrowhead
dropdowns render every head as the canvas draws it (cached textures, a shared
widgets::doc_preview that the Brushes panel now uses too) in a scrolling list.

The Stroke panel's Profile list now holds saved profiles next to the built-ins,
kept with the preferences (Prefs.width_profiles). Add to Profiles… names the
selected stroke's variable width, Delete Profile removes the selected stroke's
saved one (built-ins can't be deleted), Reset Profiles removes them all.
Three more generated built-ins (Pinch, Teardrop, Wave). The dropdown (Stroke
panel and Control bar) lists saved profiles and draws a custom profile's own
silhouette. Commands: stroke.widthProfile.add/delete/reset/list; stroke.set
{profile} takes a built-in id or a saved name.

flattener.preview {highlight, overprints?, preset?|options?, ids?} reports, without changing the
document, the transparent and affected objects, patterns, outlined strokes and type, rasterized
complex regions, all rasterized areas and flat-colour regions (FlattenReport, worked out by the
flattener's own plan without rendering images). The panel previews a snapshot taken on Refresh,
greyed with the chosen highlight in red, zoomable (click, Alt-click, drag, double-click); its
Overprints, preset and options (Show Options) set how it flattens, and its menu saves them as a
preset. ui.flattenerPreview drives it; the settings persist with the UI state.

Saved presets live in Prefs.flattener_presets (persisted with the preferences) beside the
built-in High, Medium and Low Resolution ones, which stay read-only. New commands:
flattener.presets.list / save / delete / import / export (a .vcflattener JSON file; opening one
imports it). Any saved preset name works as `preset` wherever flattener options are taken
(Session::flatten_options). The manager dialog lists the presets and edits the selected saved
one in place; the Flatten Transparency dialog lists saved presets and gains Save Preset….

The dialog offers the built-in presets, the raster/vector balance, both resolutions and the
outline and preserve switches; Preview flattens on the canvas through the interaction and OK

preset manager and the Flattener Preview panel. Drivable as dialog `flattenTransparency`
through ui.flattenTransparencyDialog.

Applying a gradient swatch records it as the gradient's swatch (the Swatches panel highlights
it and the Gradient panel's swatch menu marks it). A stop given a global or spot swatch (and a
tint) in paint.editGradient / a gradient paint's stops, dropped from the Swatches panel or
picked in the stop popover stays linked: editing the swatch recolours it, in art and in
gradient swatches, deleting it unlinks it. Spot stops separate on their plate, and a gradient
whose stops are all tints of one spot ink (or paper white) exports to PDF as a Separation
shading; gradients mixing models are written in one colour space (the PDF writer requires it;
mixed models used to abort the export).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A colour linked to a global or spot swatch keeps a tint (Paint::Solid.tint, 1 by default and
left out of files at 100 %): paint.setFill/setStroke {swatch, tint} apply the swatch at that
percentage, swatch edits recolour every linked colour at its own tint, and Color::tinted
resolves it (CMYK and Gray inks scale, RGB mixes toward white). swatch.new saves a tint as a
tint swatch ("Ink 40%") linked to its base. Spot tints separate as that percentage of their
plate (Separations Preview, PDF Separation value) instead of an ink-ratio guess. Adjust Color
Balance's Global mode (tint) shifts the tints of linked colours. The Color panel shows Tint
mode (the swatch chip, its name and a T slider) for linked colours; the Swatches panel
highlights the tint swatch in use. Gradient stops get the same link and tint fields (the
swatch walks cover them), so GradientStop is no longer Copy.

Clicking a Layers panel target circle runs `layer.target {id}`: a layer gets its art
selected and becomes the target (`Selection.target`) of the appearance, effect,
transparency and opacity-mask commands, which then edit the layer itself; the
Appearance panel lists it. Dragging a circle onto another runs
`appearance.transfer {source, target, copy?}` (Alt copies), dropping it on the trash
clears it. Filled dots also mark groups and layers with fills of their own, masked
objects get a dashed underline, and while an opacity mask is edited the panel lists
only an `<Opacity Mask>` entry and the tab says so.

The mark left of Home (and in the About box) is now the VectorCraft app icon,
the engraved dragon from assets/app-icon/ (128 px PNG, include_bytes!), decoded

The window is undecorated off macOS and the app bar is the title bar: Minimize,
Maximize/Restore and Close caption buttons (46 pt, drawn in code, Close hover red)
at the far right, empty bar space drags the window and double-click toggles
maximize, and 5 pt invisible edge/corner zones resize it (off while maximized or
fullscreen). Close runs app.quit, so modified documents are asked about first.
The right-side group now fits the space after the menus: Discord drops out and
the search box becomes an icon at narrow widths, so nothing overlaps at 800 pt.
macOS and the web build are unchanged.

- Weights and dash lengths show in Units > Stroke in the Stroke panel,
the Control bar and the Properties panel (Session::stroke_unit).
- Values the selected objects don't share show blank (weight, miter
limit, dashes) or light no button (cap, join, align), from a
per-revision cached DocState::stroke_mixed.
- Align Stroke Inside/Outside are disabled for open paths and type.
- The Control bar weight is a preset spinner with a width profile
dropdown, and its Stroke link (and the Properties panel's) opens the
Stroke panel as an anchored popover instead of docking it.
- The panels show a group's first painted object's stroke, as the
Stroke proxy does (Session::shown_stroke).
- stroke.set on a group skips images and symbol instances.
- document.inspect reports each object's strokeOptions (cap, join,
miterLimit, align, dash, dashOffset, alignDashes, arrows, arrowAlign,
profile) in stroke.set terms.

With type selected, stroke.set (without an item) gives every run the
weight, cap, join, miter limit and dashes instead of adding an object
stroke; while the Type tool edits text, the Stroke panel styles the
selected characters through text.setRangeStyle `strokeOptions`, and the
panel reads the first run (or the selection's style).
CharStyle gains stroke_cap, stroke_join, stroke_miter_limit and
stroke_dash (defaulted, skipped when default). Character strokes and
object strokes on type now draw through the shared stroke geometry on
the canvas, in PDF and in SVG (live text writes cap/join/miter/dash and
tspans reset what the first run sets; object strokes are drawn on the
glyph outlines), so every stroke option, opacity and blend applies.
Outlines, the Eyedropper and graphic styles keep the options.

A group's or layer's own fills and strokes paint every member's geometry, below or above the
members as the new contents slot (Appearance.contents_index) says; its geometry effects reshape
the members as one piece and its raster effects apply to the composite (one combined shadow),
respecting knockout groups. Type's own fills and strokes paint under or over its characters.
Render, SVG/PDF (via bake) and Expand Appearance evaluate them alike.
Commands: appearance.* / effect.* take target: "object"|"contents" and layer ids;
appearance.moveItem moves the Contents slot (from: "contents") or an item across it
(contents); appearance.targetContents selects a group's members. Graphic styles applied to a
group now style the group itself. The Appearance panel shows Contents/Characters rows that
drag, and double-click to target the members or edit the characters' paint.

The shared dialog frame's button row took all the height left in the window
(a right-to-left layout fills the available height), and every dialog shared
one window id, so a dialog never shrank and inherited the size of the one
before it: the save prompt showed a tall empty band around its buttons. The
row is now as tall as the buttons and each dialog kind has its own window.
Menu items forced themselves to the popup's full available width, so every
menu opened at egui's maximum menu width. The menu layout already justifies
items, so popups are now as wide as their widest label and shortcut (at least
230 pt).

layer.clippingMask.toggle {id?} -> {clip}: the top object of the current
layer (or of the one selected group, or of `id`) becomes the clipping path,
unpainted and moved to the bottom so art added later is clipped too; pressing

step. The Layers panel button runs it and underlines clipping-path names.
Model: NodeKind::Layer.clip (skipped when false). Clipped layers render, hit
test, bound, and export to SVG and PDF like clip groups (Node::clips /
set_clips); the clip-path helpers are shared with Make/Release Clipping Mask.

The harmony rules (Complementary 1/2, Split Complementary, Left/Right Complement, Analogous 1/2,
Monochromatic, Shades, Triad 1-3, Tetrad 1-3, Compound 1/2, High Contrast 1-3, Pentagram) live in
the color crate with our own math, base colour first. The variation grid moves there too
(`harmony::Guide`): a row per harmony colour with the colour in the centre column, shades/cool/muted
to the left and tints/warm/vivid to the right, 1-20 steps and a variation amount.
- `color.harmony {color, rule, steps?, variation?, amount?}` query returns {rule, colors, grid}.
- The panel keeps its base colour until "Set base color" takes the current one; Shift/Cmd-click

With alignDashes every run between corners and path ends holds a whole number of
periods, scaled to fit, with a dash (or dot) centred on each corner and on both
ends of an open path. It lives in the shared dash generator, so the canvas, SVG
and PDF export (as outlines) and Outline Stroke all draw it.
stroke.set: alignDashes and dashOffset edit the current pattern on their own, and
a new dash array keeps the offset and alignment it replaces. The Stroke panel
turns dashes on fitted to corners (or as last turned off), and its Exact/Fit
buttons send only the flag.

New Document.page_isolate / page_knockout, set by
transparency.togglePageIsolatedBlending / togglePageKnockoutGroup {value?}

transparency.info) and the Transparency panel menu's check items. The page
renders as an isolated group (top-level blend modes no longer blend with
what lies under the page) and/or a knockout group whose elements are the
layers (neutral layers pass their objects through). PDF and SVG wrap the
page content in an isolated group and write page knockout as soft masks.

New Node.knockout_shape (transparency.set / object.setProps knockoutShape,
reported by transparency.info). In a knockout group such an object knocks
out only as much as its opacity and mask let through (a 50% object knocks

SVG masks honour it, and the panel's checkbox is now live.

Knockout Group is now Knockout {Neutral, Off, On} (old files' true loads as
On, false as Neutral). In a knockout group each child erases what the
children below it drew where it paints, then adds itself, so it composites

through to the enclosing knockout group. transparency.set / object.setProps
take knockout "on"|"off"|"neutral"|bool; transparency.info reports the
state. PDF and SVG write knockout groups as nested soft masks with the same
look (PDF warns); the Transparency panel has a tri-state checkbox.
