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.

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.

The Live Paint Bucket now fills areas enclosed by any paths. Crossing
lines enclose faces it can fill, a line across a shape splits that shape's
face in two, and an area enclosed by paths becomes a face even when nothing
fills it (it starts unfilled). Edges are the paths cut wherever another path
meets them, keeping their stroke, so Shift-click paints each piece. Closed
shapes give the same faces as before.
Root cause: Live Paint built its faces from the Pathfinder regions, which
divide the filled areas of closed shapes. An open path counted only as the
area it would fill if closed, which for a straight line is nothing, so lines
divided nothing and the bucket found no face to fill. A new planar map in
vectorcraft-pathops (live_paint) sweeps every path as an edge: an open path
goes in traced there and back, with crossing counts that never cancel; faces
are walked on the resulting graph (holes included), and their fills and the
edges' sources are found geometrically. The sweep runs in an exactly sheared
frame, because it mishandles a horizontal line traced there and back.
Make, Merge, the bucket and Live Paint Selection all use it;
interior_point moves to vectorcraft-pathops with it.

Builds on the vertical type from #145 (same data, commands and tools).
- Kinsoku (the strict set, horizontal Japanese too): no line starts with a
closing bracket, 、。, a middle dot, colon, !?, the long vowel mark,
iteration marks or small kana; no line ends with an opening bracket.
Hyphenation breaks obey it too.
- Tate-chu-yoko: a run of two or three half-width digits (10月, 第100回)
stands upright across the column as one block one em long, squeezed to
the em when wider; longer numbers stay on their side.
- Upright or on its side by Unicode's Vertical_Orientation: CJK and
symbols upright, marks that need a vertical form on their side when the
font has none; upright glyphs advance at least one em, centred, and turn
about the ideographic em box centre so they sit on the column's centre
line. Point type keeps its anchor on the first column's centre line.
- `vrt2` is no longer requested: its glyphs are already on their side, so
with the layout turning Latin and digits too they came out upside down
(and tate-chu-yoko blocks broke) in fonts that have it, e.g. Hiragino.
- The line→text mapping is one affine (`TextLayout::line_xf`, an exact
quarter turn plus the point-type offset); `logical_point` and
`physical_point` use it. Pixel snapping skips vertical type.
- Tests: kinsoku in both directions, tate-chu-yoko blocks, upright vs
sideways, anchor on the centre line, arrows along columns.

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).

Typing with an input method (the macOS Japanese IME and the like) used to
insert the raw keys (romaji came in as ASCII): egui's Ime events weren't
handled.
- Tools gain `ime_preedit` / `composing` / `ime_caret`; the Type tool lays
the marked text out in place inside its typing session, underlined (the
clause being converted thicker), and commits it through `text_input`.
Character ranges from the IME convert to byte ranges in one place. A
cancelled composition leaves no empty undo step; an empty clear with
nothing marked never deletes the selection.
- The UI sends Text and Ime events to the tool in order, sends IMEOutput
every frame while text is edited (what lets egui-winit enable the IME
and place its candidate window at the caret, or the converting clause),
and holds back keys, Enter/Escape, clipboard, single-key shortcuts and
menu commands (Undo, Cut, Select All… also from the native menu) while
composing. A click, a tool switch or a style change ends the
composition with the marked text kept as typed; on macOS the IME is
told to discard it (NSTextInputContext.discardMarkedText) so it doesn't
come back in the next input.
- Undo during a typing session also ends the Type tool's session, so its
caret and marked text follow the document.
- Tests: tools (char → byte ranges, underlines and candidate position),
engine (compose → commit is one step, cancel leaves no step, a click
commits, Undo mid-composition is safe), ui-egui (synthetic Ime events:
compose, commit, ⌘Z held back, IME output, click and app switch).
Checked by hand on macOS 27 with the Japanese IME (romaji input, convert,
commit, cancel, Undo/Redo after commit, click away, Latin mode, app
switch). Not checked: Windows and Linux IMEs, the web build.

VectorCraft ▸ Language gains Čeština (`app.language {lang: "cs"}`,
persisted as "cs"). `Language::tr` now picks a table per language.
The Czech table (crates/ui-egui/src/i18n/czech.rs) translates every
menu title, submenu, item and header in the menu tree, plus the labels
toggling items switch to (Show/Hide Guides, Lock/Unlock Grid, Outline/
Preview, Edit Contents/Edit Envelope…). It was written clean-room from the
meaning of the English labels: commands in the infinitive, menus as nouns.
Left as-is on purpose: the product name, language names, OpenType, the
built-in workspace names and the perspective grid preset names.
Tests:
- every Czech (and Japanese) entry is a menu label, toggled labels included;
- Czech covers every menu label except fonts, sizes, plug-in names and
an explicit KEEP_AS_IS list;
- ellipses match their source label, entries are unique;
- the Language menu lists every language; `cs` validates and persists;
- each UI font family's own first font has the Czech letters and
punctuation (no system fonts needed).

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 a vector halftone that turns art or an image into
vector dots, lines or shapes by tone, with angle, frequency, shape, mono
or CMYK separations and clipping to the object. Nothing like it existed.
object.vectorHalftone renders the selection offscreen, samples its tone
once per cell of a grid turned by the screen angle and places a shape
whose area follows the tone (circle, ellipse, square, diamond or line).
Mono screens follow lightness in one colour; CMYK screens follow the ink
amounts the CMYK output separates, one screen per ink at the classic
angles, multiplied over each other. Dots are clipped to the art's
outline as real geometry (only the dots crossing it go through a
boolean). It is a command rather than a live effect: the live pipeline
can't sample rendered tone when exporting. Its dialog previews live and
OK keeps it as one undo step.

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.

The issue asked for one-step symmetric shapes, splitting all selected art
along a line and cropping art to a rectangle as real geometry. Only the
freehand Knife and the Scissors existed, and neither works on compound
paths as one shape.
New commands path.mirrorCut, path.lineCut and path.rectCut cut the
selected paths and compound paths (inside groups too) with pathops
booleans against a half-plane or rectangle, and split open paths with
the Knife/Path Eraser helpers. Mirror & Cut reflects the kept half and
unites it with itself (open halves are joined on the axis). The draw2
piece helpers now rebuild compound paths too. Three tools (Eraser group,
original icons) preview the cut live while dragging and commit it as one
undo step; Mirror & Cut's axis and kept side are tool options shown in
the Control bar.

Rotating an object baked the rotation into its geometry and kept nothing
else, so the bounding box, the handles and the Transform/Properties
panels fell back to the page-aligned box (the Rotate field went back to 0).
Root cause: nodes carried no record of their own axes. Each node now
keeps `bbox_angle` (append-only, written only when non-zero), which every
transform turns with the object (mirroring transforms keep the nearer of
the two possible boxes). The geometry is still baked. The selection's box
(`Document::oriented_bounds`) stands at the angle the selected objects
share. The Selection tool hit-tests and scales its handles in that frame,
and the canvas draws it rotated. `object.setBounds` measures W/H and the
reference point along it. `object.rotate {absolute}` turns the selection
to an angle, which the panels' Rotate field now shows and sets. Object >
Transform > Reset Bounding Box (previously a no-op) clears the angle in
one undo step.

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.

Embed Page Thumbnails gives every page a /Thumb image: the page drawn on
white, 106 px on its long side, without the layers the page leaves out
(the engine draws them; vectorcraft_pdf::page_areas says what each page
shows; PDF/X files get grey ones). Optimize for Fast Web View writes a
linearised file: the objects are put in linearised order and numbering,
encrypted when a password asks (the encryption dictionary goes with the
catalog, PDF layers' groups too), then laid out with the linearization
dictionary, both cross-reference tables and the page offset and shared
object hint tables (the hint stream encrypted like any other). Their
"not applied yet" warnings are gone. Reading the objects back uses the
lexer of encrypt.rs (syntax.rs adds what rewriting needs).

Advanced > Overprint: Preserve (the default; document.exportPdf
advanced.overprint) writes each overprinting fill and stroke (an object's
own, a character's, a type object's) with a graphics state of /OP true
/op true /OPM 1 (/OPM 0 in PDF/A); Discard writes none. White ones knock out
when Document Setup's Discard White Overprint is on, as in print. Mask art
never overprints. File > Print's composite PDF honours Print > Advanced >
Overprints: Preserve the same way (separations keep multiplying plates).
Each overprinting fill or stroke is drawn as a form marked to overprint
(crates/pdf/src/forms.rs); after writing, its content starts by setting the
overprinting graphics state, and the PDF/X self-check runs on the result.
The engine's "overprint is not written to PDF yet" warning and print's
"overprints print as knockouts in composite output" warning are gone.

Create PDF layers from top-level layers (document.exportPdf createLayers, the
Save PDF dialog's General option) now writes an optional content group per
top-level layer (template layers are left out): named as the layer, off when
the layer is hidden, /PrintState /OFF when its Print option is off, locked
when it is locked, listed top first, with a print auto-state (not under a
standard). The file reopens with those layers.
The PDF writer has no optional content, so each layer is drawn as a form of
its own (no transparency group, so it draws as in place) starting with a mark;
after writing, the uses of the layers' forms are wrapped in /OC ... BDC/EMC
and the catalog gets /OCProperties (crates/pdf/src/forms.rs, through the
shared patch writer and the PDF syntax reader of encrypt.rs). PDF 1.4 and a
knockout page group write plain page content with a warning; the dialog greys
the option at 1.4. The "not written yet" warning is gone.

The pdf crate's PrintSettings gains advanced {printAsBitmap,
overprints: preserve|discard|simulate, flattenerPreset} and
color.profile, all defaulting so saved print_setup values still load.
Composite output discards overprints (no /OP) or simulates them as
Overprint Preview draws them; separations keep them. A printer profile
converts composite colours with the chosen intent (a CMYK one writes
device CMYK) and separations separate with a CMYK one. The engine
flattens transparency with the preset, or renders each printed region
as one image for Print as Bitmap, before PDF or PostScript layout.
The Print dialog's Advanced and Color Management sections show them.

View > Show Print Tiling (view.printTiling) draws the pages of the
document's print settings on the canvas, dashed and numbered, from
print.preview's own layout (print.tiling), so the canvas and the
printed job agree. The Print Tiling tool replaces the no-op tool: a
drag places the first page's imageable corner (print.tiling.set,
saved as print_setup.tileOrigin, one undo step); a double click on
the canvas or the tool button resets it. Tiles start at the origin
and extend to cover the art; the Print dialog shows the tool's
placement with a Reset button.

document.exportPdf {standard: pdfX1a|pdfX3|pdfX4} and the PDF/X presets now
write conforming files instead of being refused:
- every PDF/X file gets a /GTS_PDFX output intent (by default the CMYK
profile in effect, embedded), TrimBox, Trapped, GTS_PDFXVersion (and
GTS_PDFXConformance for X-1a), a title and dates; editing data,
passwords and, in X-1a/X-3, PDF layers are refused
- PDF/X-1a converts every colour and image to a CMYK destination,
untagged, with CMYK spot alternates; X-3 and X-4 tag colours with ICC
profiles
- X-1a and X-3 are written as PDF 1.3 and their transparency is flattened
first (High Resolution preset; images with see-through pixels count,
rasters stay opaque); X-4 keeps transparency, is PDF 1.6 at most and
names the standard in its XMP metadata
- the written file is checked against its standard (soft masks,
transparency groups, opacity, blend modes, RGB in X-1a, fonts not
embedded) and refused rather than mislabelled
- choosing a standard sets the latest compatibility it allows and turns
off what it forbids (engine and Save PDF dialog)

- 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.
