The Selection tool's double-click on text only switched to the Type
tool, which then had nothing being edited, so typing went to the tool
shortcuts (X swapped the text's fill and stroke). After such a switch
the canvas passes the double-click on to the Type tool as a click, which
starts editing the type with the caret where it was clicked.

egui reports the character a key types, so Cmd+Shift+[ arrives as
Cmd+Shift+{ (], / likewise as }, ?) and Shift+` as the text ~, and these
default shortcuts never matched: Bring to Front, Send to Back, Search
Commands and the Curvature tool. Command chords now also take the
shifted character, single-key tool and command shortcuts also look up
Shift+<typed text>, and the Keyboard Shortcuts editor records such a
chord as its key (Cmd+Shift+], not Cmd+Shift+}), so conflicts show.

The path rebuilt through the glyphs ended where the last glyph ends, so
rounding in the spacing could push that glyph past the end, where type on
a path stops ("OFFICIAL ISSUED" lost its D). The path now runs an em
further.

Apps write type on a path one glyph at a time, each placed and turned along the
curve. The importer joined glyphs into a line only while they kept the first
glyph's direction. Type on a gentle curve was flattened into straight lines, and
type on a tighter curve fell apart into one object per glyph.
A glyph that starts about where the previous one ends, turned a little from it
(under about 20°), now continues the line. A line whose baseline turned more than
about 3° becomes type on a path: its path is a smooth curve (Catmull-Rom as cubic
Béziers) through the glyphs' baseline origins and the end of the last glyph.
Spaces between words are measured along the last glyph. Straight type, rotated or
not, imports as before.
Test: "ARCHING" written glyph by glyph along an arc imports as one
type-on-a-path object with that text and a curved path; slightly rotated straight
type stays point type.

Held Space always panned, whatever else was held, so the temporary Zoom
tool keys did nothing. Held Space is now the Hand tool and Cmd+Space the
Zoom tool (Alt: out), whatever the active tool, for the press and the
cursor.

The canvas always switched to the Selection tool for a Cmd press with a
non-selection tool. The UI state now remembers which of Selection,
Direct Selection and Group Selection was used last, and the temporary
switch uses it, so Cmd-dragging an anchor while drawing with the Pen
after using Direct Selection moves that anchor, not the whole path.

Dragging a bounding-box handle of area type with the Selection tool now
resizes the type area: the text reflows at its own size (threads too)
instead of being scaled, and History says "Resize Type Area". With other
objects selected they scale as before while the area type resizes its
frame. Direct Selection picks the frame's corners and edges and reshapes
the area ("Reshape Type Area", new command text.reshapeArea), and the
selected frame's anchors and outline show. Area Type Options gains Width
and Height. Point type, rotation, Object > Transform > Scale, the Scale
tool and the Transform panel still transform the type.
Root cause: every handle drag previewed object.transform, which folds the
matrix into the text's xf (TextObject::transform), so area type scaled its
glyphs; and Direct Selection's anchor hit test only looked at paths, so the
frame's corners could not be picked. object.transform now takes
typeAreas, which reshapes the frame in text space (xf^-1 * m * xf), and
the tools use it and text.reshapeArea.

In vertical type every character now sits in its own cell down the column:
"10" and "22" in 「10月22日」 stand side by side in one em, centred on the
column, and 月/日 start right after them. Justified (Justify All) columns
no longer split a tate-chu-yoko block, and tracked or justified upright
characters stay on the column's centre line instead of drifting across it.
Root cause: in 0.3.1 (the reporter's build) upright glyphs were placed by
the font's ascent rather than the ideographic em box, so a font with a tall
ascent (Noto Sans CJK JP, 1.16 em) drew each upright character ~0.28 em
down into the next cell, onto the sideways digits; #208 (after 0.3.1)
replaced that with em-box placement and tate-chu-yoko, which this commit
locks in with regression tests. Two defects of the same kind remained:
Justify All added its inter-character gap inside a tate-chu-yoko block
(the block's second digit slid down the column, away from the first), and
upright glyphs turned about the middle of their advance, which tracking and
justification lengthen, instead of the middle of their own cell.
Tests: the issue's layout with bundled glyphs (cells one after the other,
every ink inside its cell and no overlaps, 2-3 digit blocks one em and
centred, single digits and 2026 on their side advancing by their length,
spaces), the issue's string with craft-fonts' Japanese face (skips without
craft-fonts), Justify All with a block, tracking.

The tool chose scale, distort, perspective or shear from the modifiers at
the press only, but a Cmd press on the canvas is the temporary Selection
tool, and the documented gesture is to start dragging and then hold Cmd.
A handle drag now follows the modifiers held during the drag; when the
operation changes, the interaction restarts so the undo step is named
after what was done.

The navigator's buttons were painted only and its number was always 1,
and Fit Artboard in Window and Actual Size always used the first
artboard. The per-document View now keeps the navigator's artboard; the
new view.goToArtboard UI command (an index, or first / previous / next /
last) sets it and fits it in the window, and the four buttons call it.

A double-click on a tool button runs tool.options, which only knew a few
tools, so the common double-clicks did nothing: the Hand tool now fits
the artboard in the window, the Zoom tool shows 100%, and Rotate, Scale,
Reflect and Shear open their Object > Transform dialog (when something
is selected, like the menu items).

The export tool's description, the docs' open_file and export rows and the
CLI's run/convert usage listed only some formats. The CLI usage now prints
the writable extensions next to the readable ones, both generated from the
format table (export_extensions), the export tool points to its generated
format enum, and the docs name EPS, DXF, EMF, WMF, SVGZ and templates.

It ran document.save, which keeps the document's own file and format (or
takes the format the path's extension picks), but described itself as a
native .vectorcraft save. The description now says so, with the formats
generated from SAVE_FORMATS, and points to export for the others.

A type node's fill, stroke and strokeWidth now come from its first run, as

document.exportSelection (the MCP export tool's `selection: true`) now
replies with `format` and the encoder's `warnings`, the same list a
whole-document export gives: lossy WebP written lossless, blend modes left
out of SVG Tiny 1.2, PDF layers at 1.4 and the rest. A selection export
that approximates nothing replies with an empty list.
Root cause: export_selection encoded with `encode`, which drops the
warnings encode_with_warnings returns, and its reply carried only path,
bytes and bounds. The params doc and docs/mcp.md now describe the reply.

The rulers were only painted. A drag from the top ruler now previews a
horizontal guide and adds it with guide.add where the button is released
on the canvas; the left ruler makes a vertical one. Released anywhere
else, nothing is added. Guides are shown when one is made this way.

Japanese covered 36 menu labels after #145; every other label stayed
English. ja.tsv now holds all 556 interface menu labels, in menu order,
including both readings of every toggle, plus the labels added since: the
Language menu's Automatic and the canvas context menu's. #145's 36 entries
are unchanged. Kept in English, as for Czech: the product name, language
names, OpenType, the built-in workspace names and the bracketed perspective
grid presets.
The Czech coverage test becomes menu_catalogs_translate_every_menu_label,
run for Czech and Japanese. ROADMAP and docs/development.md say both cover
every menu label.
Ported by the maintainers from the Rust table of the original PR onto the
catalog framework (#205): the placeholder labels of recent-file, recent-font,
user-preset and user-library slots are left out (the menus show the names).

The command palette caches its entries per language and plug-in set

the palette kept showing the old ones until the language changed. The

The Type tool passed `y + 12` to `text.create` for a dragged frame, and
`text.create` puts the frame's top-left at (x, y), so every frame landed
12 pt below the marquee the user dragged.

EPS files the reference app saves (its procsets in the prolog, a binary header with a TIFF
preview) now open as editable art instead of failing with "undefinedresource in Generic". When
their PostScript still can't be read, the palette preview they carry is placed with the usual
warning instead of the file being refused.
Root cause: five interpreter gaps and one preview format. The Generic and Category resource
categories didn't exist, so categories couldn't be made from Generic (now Category holds the
standard categories, defineresource in Category makes new ones, undefineresource is added);
clipsave/cliprestore were unknown (now a clip stack in the graphics state); systemdict's
languagelevel was the operator, not the integer 3; getinterval copied arrays and strings
instead of sharing their storage, so astore into a subarray was lost (arrays and strings are
now views into shared storage, and readstring/readline return the part they fill); and
resourceforall was unknown (now enumerates matching names with * ? \ templates). The preview
is an 8-bit palette TIFF with an alpha sample, which the image crate can't decode: a small
bounds-checked reader handles that layout (either byte order, any strips).

A press only started a selection inside the text being edited; on other
type it waited for the release, which placed the caret at the press and
ignored the drag, so the first drag across a word never selected it.
A press on type now starts editing it there (the same code a click used
on release), so the drag selects at once; a plain click still just
places the caret.
Fixes#245.

panels::label_or_name and dialogs::shown_names applied the same rule; it
now lives once as i18n::label_or_name (explicit language, testable) and
both delegate to it. zh-hant gains the two normal text style names the
Character and Paragraph Styles panels translate.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Panels passed names to the translating widgets, so a name that happened to
be a catalog key was translated (a font style "Regular", a workspace called
"Layers"). Font styles, pattern names, recent URLs, ICC profiles, saved
width profiles, user and loaded libraries, plug-in effects and their
parameters, Document Info's artboard/style/font/image rows, text-object
contents in Layers, user text styles in brackets, the Artboard tool's
canvas label and the app-bar workspace switcher now show names verbatim;
built-in entries (Working CMYK, (closest), built-in libraries and effects,
[Normal ... Style]) still translate. Formatted tips around a name are
translated as templates only (panels::label_or_name, library_name).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Lists and headings that mix our labels with names no longer send the
names through the catalog, so a preset, printer or plug-in called
"Regular" or "Black" keeps its name in every language.
- dialogs::shown_names / mixed_dropdown: translate only a list's built-in
entries and show the rest with widgets::dropdown_names (same indices).
- Artboard lists (Save for Office, Save for Web, save options) and
plug-in choices: dropdown_names.
- Mixed lists translate only their built-in entries: Recolor's Limit to
Library, Save for Web, Print, Save PDF and Export for Screens presets,
printers (Default Printer, PDF File), colour profiles and flattener
presets (profile_pick, flatten::preset_dropdown), perspective presets,
New Document's preset cards and Size, and the shortcut set.
- Plug-in dialogs and plug-in effects are headed by the plug-in's name as
it is; plug-in parameter labels are not translated.
- The confirm dialog shows its message and detail as given, and the
shared frame no longer translates headings again: each heading is
translated by its spec. File > Revert translates its template before
filling in the document's name.

Follow-ups from the review of #205.
- Names that are user, file or system data are shown as they are: menu
items for recent files, saved views, recent fonts and Type > Font,
user swatch and graphic style libraries, saved perspective presets,
custom workspaces (and Reset <name>) and plug-ins no longer go through
the catalog (menus::shows_a_name). widgets::dropdown_names,
menu_item_name and dim_name are the non-translating forms of the shared
widgets, for the panels and dialogs that list such names.
- The command palette builds its entries (shown label, search text) once
per language and plug-in set instead of translating ~700 labels every
frame while a query is typed.
- The locale probe (reg.exe / defaults) runs on a background thread at
startup instead of on the first frame.

Strings in code stay English and are the lookup keys; `crates/ui-egui/src/i18n`
maps them to display text at render time from one `*.tsv` catalog per language
(`LANGUAGES` registry, `tl!`/`t`/`tr`/`tr_ctx`/`tr_id`/`tn`/`fmt`). Command ids,
menu paths, `ui.menu.list`, the control channel, the CLI, MCP, status messages
and undo labels never see translated text, so agents, scripts and the existing
tests are unaffected (under `cargo test` the UI is always English).
Wired: in-window menus and the macOS native menu (rebuilt on a language change),
dynamic labels (Undo X, Reset X, Last Effect: X as templates), the command
palette (matches English and translated text), dock tabs, panel tooltips, the
toolbar (category names now cut by characters, not bytes), the dialog frame, the
shared widgets, the Preferences dialog, the shortcut editor, the hint and status
bars, the Home screen, and the literals of every panel and dialog.
Preference `interfaceLanguage` (User Interface › Language): `auto` or a code.
`auto` follows `VECTORCRAFT_LOCALE`, `LC_ALL`/`LC_MESSAGES`/`LANG`/`LANGUAGE`,
the macOS preferred languages and, on Windows (which sets no `LANG`), the user
locale from `HKCU\Control Panel\International`. `zh-TW`/`zh-HK`/`zh-MO`/
`zh-Hant-*` resolve to `zh-hant`; Simplified locales stay English until a
`zh-hans` catalog exists.
`zh-hant.tsv` (~2,850 rows) is clean-room, in the vocabulary used in Taiwan;
terms shared with PhotoCraft reuse its wording, vector terms use everyday
vector-drawing vocabulary. Tests: catalog well-formedness (placeholders,
ellipses, command ids, no Simplified characters), locale resolution, and two
coverage tests that fail when a menu string, panel/tool/preference label,
dialog button, hint-bar fragment or `tl!` literal has no row in a language
marked `complete_menus`. `VECTORCRAFT_I18N_DUMP=file cargo test -p
vectorcraft-ui-egui dump_source_strings` lists the strings for translators.
Also: two clippy findings under rustc 1.97 fixed in passing.
Integrated with main (squashed onto it, 42 commits on): the Czech interface
(#213) moves from its Rust table to `i18n/cs.tsv` on the registry (all 556
rows, Czech plural rule, its menu-coverage and glyph tests kept); Find Font's
resolution notes and the canvas context menu's labels are translated and
covered by the catalog tests (`menus::CONTEXT_LABELS`); the glyph test checks
CJK text only when the craft-fonts build input is embedded (#220 moved the
Japanese fonts out of this repository); a language saved by an older version
carries over to `interfaceLanguage`; Windows' locale lookup runs reg.exe by its
full path.

The server answered tools/* and two fixed resources and nothing else, and
resources/templates/list returned an empty array. This adds the rest of the surface a
client can actually use, against 2025-06-18.
- prompts/list and prompts/get: five workflows (poster, icon-set, recolor,
trace-and-style, export-set) with templated arguments. A missing required argument
is -32602 and names itself.
- resources/templates/list, and resources/read for the templates: object/{id},
command/{id}, effect/{id}, swatch/{name}. Reading one thing at a time instead of
vectorcraft://document/json, which on a real document is thousands of lines an agent
pays for again on every change.
- completion/complete for prompt arguments and template variables, ranked prefix
first, capped at 100 with total and hasMore. The values are read live, so a suggested
format, effect id, command id, trace preset, swatch or object id is one the engine
has.
- logging/setLevel and notifications/message. Nothing installed a log::Log before, so
the engine's log::debug! calls went nowhere; this is the sink, silent until asked.
Installing it is vectorcraft-cli's job rather than the library's, so an embedder
that already has a logger keeps it.
docs/mcp.md gains a Protocol section with the capability table and a Not implemented
section: subscriptions, progress, cancellation, sampling, elicitation and Streamable
HTTP all need the transport to interleave reads, which this one does not — handle_line
answers a line with a reply, so it neither reads an incoming cancellation nor can write
progress before the reply it belongs to.
62 tests (50 unit, 12 property/fuzz). protocol_props.rs gained five: prompts survive
junk arguments, completion/complete never panics and always answers at most 100
string values with a consistent hasMore, every template reads or fails cleanly, and
prompts/completions/templates are swept with junk params while asserting the document
comes back byte-identical.
ROADMAP: one bullet under Automation in Shipped so far and the changelog line. The
parity table and the gap list are untouched — MCP is agent automation, so feature
parity does not move.
list_says_how_each_font_resolved expected Source Sans 3 Black to be a
substitute, which holds only while the bundled family is the only Source
Sans 3: on a machine with the full family installed (it ships with many
font packs), Black resolves exactly and the test failed. It now asks for
a style no Source Sans 3 has, so the substitute path is tested anywhere.

The OK/Cancel row was laid out right to left at the full available
width, and a dialog without a maximum width may use the whole window:
the row, and the window with it, spanned the window (Clean Up, Blend
Options, every generic parameter dialog). The row now spans the fields
above it, at least the dialog's minimum width, so a dialog is sized to
its content.

The icon panel flyout was placed by its left edge, 262 points left of
the icon column, at a width of 256: a panel whose content is wider
(Separations Preview, Align, Transform, Stroke, Attributes, Gradient)
grew to the right, over the panel icons. It is now pinned by its right
edge, 6 points left of the column, so a wider panel grows towards the
canvas; panels of the usual width sit where they did.

egui counts a press a few pixels outside the canvas as hovering it (its
interaction radius), but the canvas only takes pointer positions inside
its rect, so such a press fell back to the canvas's centre: a click
just below the document tabs or beside the panels selected, typed or
drew in the middle of the view. Presses, and middle-button pans, now
start only on the canvas itself.

Conflicts with #214 (fonts by PostScript name): this branch's name index (FaceKeys,
aliases) stays, and #214's `by_postscript_name` (used by PDF import) reads a PostScript
map filled from it, keyed by the same normalized names.
Removed: scanning ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe (CoreSync/plugins/livetype and
Fonts), and the preference that switched it (Type › Include Fonts of Other Design Apps'
Folders). Fonts activated through another vendor's subscription are licensed for use
through that vendor's own sync; reading their files from VectorCraft would go around that
licence, and the project's clean-room rules keep VectorCraft out of other vendors' files.
Fonts the user has installed in the system or user font folders are still found by every
name, as before.

macOS keeps faces for its own interface under family names that start with
"." (".SF NS", ".LastResort", ".Aqua Kana"…); Mac apps don't list them. Since
the font menus list every installed family (#36), they showed 74 of them on a
stock macOS, at the top of every list.
- FontDb::menu_family_list: family_list without names that start with ".",
cached like it. Only a leading dot hides a family.
- Type › Font, the family dropdowns (Character, Properties), text.fontList and
Refresh Font List's count use it.
- Lookups by name still see every family: documents and fallbacks that name
a hidden family still find it (face, has_family, find_family, families,
text.fontList {family}, Fonts in Document's missing check).
- Test: tests_sysfonts::font_lists_leave_out_hidden_system_families_which_still_resolve
(a temporary font folder); the engine and UI font-list tests compare with
the listed families.

Right-clicking the canvas now opens a context menu, as the reference app
does. The object under the pointer is selected first unless it already is.
The menu then lists what applies to the selection: Undo and Redo, Cut, Copy,
Paste, Isolate Selected Group or Exit Isolation Mode, Group and Ungroup,
Join and Average, Make or Release Clipping Mask and Compound Path, Make
Guides, the Transform, Arrange and Select submenus, and Export Selection.
On empty canvas it lists Paste, the zoom commands, the ruler, grid and guide
toggles and Select All. Commands that can't run now are left out (Undo and
Redo stay, greyed out), and a press on the canvas only closes the menu. Agents list the same menu with the
`ui.contextMenu.list` control method.
Root cause: the canvas ignored the secondary button except in the toolbar's
tool flyouts; there was no context menu at all. The menu reuses the menu
bar's items, rendering and dispatch; Object > Transform and Arrange are now
shared lists.

Choosing an Effect > Pathfinder item (Add, Intersect, Exclude, Subtract...)
with several loose objects selected now groups them and applies the live
effect to the group, in one undo step, so the result shows at once and stays
editable. A selection that already holds a group, or a single object, works
as before, and agents get `grouped: true` back when it happens.
Root cause: Pathfinder effects combine the contents of a group or layer.
Applied to loose objects, each one got an effect with nothing to combine, so
nothing visibly changed, while the Pathfinder panel's commands (found by the
command search) act on the selection directly.
