An appearance is basic with at most one fill and one stroke, none hidden or
with its own opacity, blend mode or effects, and no object effects; Reduce
to Basic keeps the topmost visible fill and stroke. The Layers panel fills
an object's target circle for any non-default transparency (blend mode,
isolation, knockout or an opacity mask: Node::has_default_transparency).
A multi-selection whose objects differ shows "Mixed Appearances" with no
rows. The Appearance panel's object row and the Control bar name the
selection from one source, and type objects are "Type". Expand Appearance
is only in the Object menu. Clear Appearance also resets the object's
opacity and blend mode. Tests cover addFill/addStroke, setItem/removeItem,
clear, reduceToBasic and graphicStyle.apply.

swatch.new takes mode and group; swatch.newGroup takes fromArtwork, toGlobal and includeTints and reports the group's swatches and the paints it linked. Adds a shared radio widget and the ui.newSwatch / ui.newColorGroup openers.

Clip groups clip by compound paths (with their holes), even-odd paths, text
outlines and groups (the union of their members) on screen, in raster
export, in SVG and in PDF alike, through one shared region:
Node::clip_outline (the model walk) and effects::clip_outline (text
outlined, several shapes united), cached per clipping path in the
renderer. Nothing to clip by hides the clipped art everywhere, and clicks
hit a clip group only inside its clipping region. Make Clipping Mask takes
a compound path or text object on top (it loses its paint) and Release
gives it back unchanged in kind.

Clicking an Opacity row in the Appearance panel (a fill's or stroke's, or
the object's) opens a popup with the same blend-mode dropdown, opacity
field and slider as the Transparency panel (widgets::opacity_blend), and
edits that item through transparency.set. The blend-mode dropdown draws a
separator between the BlendMode::group() groups, also for the blend-mode
parameters of effect dialogs and inline effect editors. Fills and strokes
of type objects composite with their own opacity and blend mode.

Hollow heads draw as rings (the open arrow as a chevron) and closed paths get
no heads. The stroke stops under each head, so it never shows through a hollow
head or past the tip; stroke.set {arrowAlign: "extend"|"tip"} chooses whether
the tip extends past the end point (default) or sits on it with the stroke
shortened. Line and heads share one paint box (a gradient runs on into the
head) and take the stroke and object opacity once, as one layer on the canvas
and one group in PDF. StrokeLayer.arrow_align is a new defaulted field, so
older files load unchanged. The Stroke panel's Align buttons get two generated
icons and are disabled when the stroke has no head.

The shared stroke geometry now has its own arc-length dash generator: a dash
of length 0 becomes a dot that a round cap paints as a disc and a projecting
cap as a square turned along the path (a butt cap paints nothing). Dashes
restart per subpath, join across the start of closed subpaths, and a pattern
too fine for the path draws solid. The canvas and raster export use it through
line_outline; the stroke.set params doc says how to get dots.

Arrowheads, width-profile outlines and dashed line outlines now come from
vectorcraft_effects::stroke (stroke_pieces, line_outline, width_outline), used by
the canvas and PDF export alike; the renderer caches profile outlines too. Width
profiles are a doc-level catalogue (WidthProfile::PRESETS, preset, preset_id,
id_of) shared by stroke.set and the Stroke panel; stroke.set rejects unknown
profile ids and its params doc lists the arrowhead names.

effect.apply, effect.remove, effect.setParams and the new effect.duplicate
take item (omitted: the Appearance panel's active item, else the object;
null: the object's own effects), so the fx button, the Effect menu, Apply
Last Effect and the effect dialogs (effect.dialog {item}) put the effect on
the selected fill or stroke. effect.list reports each object's item effects
and the active item. appearance.addEffect is an alias of effect.apply.
In the Appearance panel, item effect rows sit under their fill or stroke
with working eyes and inline editors, and can be selected for Duplicate
and Delete; a selected effect row is remembered per object.

While a mask is edited, the Transparency panel and its commands act on the
masked object (Release leaves editing first). Mask commands and
transparency.set take ids and work without a selection; Make Opacity Mask
with one object adds an empty mask and enters editing. Opacity is 0..100 in
every command. transparency.info reports the panel's values with null for
mixed ones, shown blank. Saves and exports never include the editing layer
(Document::without_edit_modes; mask_edit is not serialized).

Text import turns the gap between an absolutely positioned <tspan y> and the previous line into
that many line breaks, with two problems:
- At least one break was added even when the tspan sits on the current baseline. Styled or
kerned runs written with x and y on every tspan (as Illustrator writes them) were split into one
line per run: "Hello <tspan y=same>world</tspan>" came back as "Hello \nworld".
- The count had no upper bound. A tspan with y="1e15" (or any y far below its text) asked for
~10^14 '\n' characters, and opening the file aborted the app, the MCP server or
`vectorcraft-cli` with "memory allocation failed" after eating all memory.
A tspan less than half a line from the current baseline now adds no break, the gap is capped at
10 000 line breaks, and a non-finite gap counts as one; other gaps are unchanged.

VectorCraft writes and reads SVG at 1 user unit (CSS px) = 1 pt, but a root width/height in
absolute units was taken in CSS pixels (96 per inch). An A4 document from Inkscape
(width="210mm" height="297mm" viewBox="0 0 210 297") opened on a 793.7 × 1122.5 pt artboard,
i.e. 280 × 396 mm, with all art 4/3 too large, and its PDF export came out on that page size;
width="8.5in" gave an 11.3 inch artboard and width="300pt" a 400 pt one.
When the root width or height has an absolute unit (in, cm, mm, pt, pc) the import now scales by
72/96 along that axis, so the artboard and the art keep their physical size (595.3 × 841.9 pt for
A4); geometry, stroke widths and text follow through the same transform. Unitless, px, % and
viewBox-only files are unchanged.

Area type was written as one <tspan> per paragraph at the frame's top-left: SVG text never wraps,
so every SVG viewer (and VectorCraft's own import) showed each paragraph as a single line running
out of the frame. Centred and right-aligned area type also got text-anchor="middle"/"end" at the
frame's left edge, so it was centred on (or ended at) that edge instead of inside the frame.
The exporter now asks the text layout for the lines: each line is a <tspan x y> at its baseline,
at the line's left edge, centre or right edge to match the text-anchor, with hyphenated breaks
written with their hyphen and the spaces at soft breaks dropped. The <text> carries the first
line's position too, so importers that place text by its own x/y (ours included) start at the
first line. Re-importing an exported file now reproduces the area type pixel for pixel as point
type with the same line breaks (justified lines lose their extra word spacing).

PNG/JPEG/WebP export renders the artboard at the requested scale with no size check. The CPU
rasteriser addresses at most 65535 pixels a side (and panics at that edge), so a large artboard at
a print resolution, e.g. the maximum 16383 pt artboard at 300 ppi (~68 000 px), or a screenshot at
scale 16, panicked inside vello_common: the desktop app or the MCP server exited and unsaved work
was lost.
`vectorcraft_render::raster_size` checks the pixel size first (at most 32 768 px a side and 268
megapixels, like Rasterize already refuses oversized images) and the export paths return an error
that names the size: `document.export` / `exportSelection` / `serialize`, the MCP `export` and
`screenshot` tools, File ▸ Export and the control protocol's `ui.render`.

A dash pattern with a negative value (for example [-5, 3], from `stroke.set` or a PDF `d`
operator) was handed to the dasher whenever any value was positive. When the values sum to zero
or less the dasher never advances, so rendering the document hung forever (canvas, screenshot,
PNG/JPEG export, `vectorcraft-cli convert`).
PDF (32000-1 §8.4.3.6) and SVG (`stroke-dasharray`) both define such a pattern as invalid and the
stroke as solid. `Dash::is_dashed` now says whether a pattern draws dashes (finite, non-negative,
not all zero), and the renderer, the width-profile outline, the SVG and PDF exporters and the PDF
importer use it, so an invalid pattern is drawn, written and read back as a solid stroke everywhere
(the PDF exporter used to clamp negatives to 0, writing zero-length dashes).

VectorCraft exports type on a path as <text><textPath href="#text-path-N"
startOffset="…%"> with the path in <defs>, but the XML text fallback read
every <text> as point type at the text element's x/y. Text on a path
therefore re-imported as a straight line at (0, 0), above the artboard
and mostly out of view, and lost its path.
Resolve the textPath's href (SVG 2 href or xlink:href) to the <path>,
bake the text's user-space transform (and the path's own transform) into
it, and read startOffset (a percentage, or a length along the path) into
TextKind::OnPath.

Headless `open_file` (and `file.open` through run_command) had its own
loader that stopped at .vectorcraft and .svg, so an agent could not open
a PDF or an .ai file without the desktop app, although the engine and
`vectorcraft-cli` already import them through vectorcraft-pdf.
The headless loader now imports .pdf, .ai and any file starting with
%PDF through vectorcraft_pdf::import_with_report (default options, as
File ▸ Open uses), and returns the import warnings like the SVG path.
The open_file tool description lists the new types.

Clicking a fill or stroke row runs appearance.setActiveItem; the toolbar,
Control bar and Properties proxies and the Color, Swatches, Gradient,
Stroke and Transparency panels show and edit that item, and the gradient
tool's annotator follows it. paint.setFill/setStroke, stroke.set/
setAdvanced, paint.editGradient/setGradientGeom and transparency.set take
item (omitted: the active item, null: the top one). Item edits and the
appearance.* commands address the selected objects' own stacks, so a
group's own fills no longer leak into its contents. Any selection change
clears the active item.

Edit -> "PDF Presets…"; the clipboard preferences read "Legacy vector
clipboard (no transparency)" / "Legacy vector clipboard" (keys copyAicb and
aicbMode unchanged); the second keyboard shortcut set is "Classic Defaults",
and the old set name is still accepted from saved UI preferences, imported
sets and shortcuts.preset. The MCP server instructions, the apply_effect and
create_graph tool descriptions, the text.createInPath params doc,
docs/mcp.md, the ui-egui crate description and the PDF compatibility docs
no longer name another vendor.
New `cargo xtask brands` (run by `cargo xtask ci`) fails on vendor product
or company names in Rust string literals (labels, params docs, menus,
panels, MCP definitions; comments and test code skipped), Cargo.toml
descriptions and text under docs/ and packaging/; a required legacy alias
is marked `brand-ok`. xtask shares one git file listing between the asset
and brand checks. docs/development.md describes the gate.

Every colour-management test reads or changes the process-wide colour
settings or proof view, so all of them now hold the file's lock; the
legacy-profile-name test switching the RGB working space could otherwise
shift a parallel RGB/CMYK round-trip.

No behaviour change: every command keeps its id, label, menu, shortcut and
params doc.
- Engine: swatch.* -> cmd/swatch.rs, graphicStyle.* -> cmd/style.rs,
appearance.* (incl. copyFrom) -> cmd/appearance.rs, stroke.set/setAdvanced
-> cmd/stroke.rs, paint.editGradient/setGradientGeom -> cmd/gradient.rs.
Shared helpers in cmd/mod.rs: leaf_targets/paint_targets (replacing three
copies) and unique_name (swatch and graphic style naming).
- UI: dialogs.rs -> dialogs/ with one file per dialog and a DialogSpec
registry (one DialogKind row per dialog); shared field widgets in
dialogs/form.rs. Headless frame tests draw and confirm every dialog.

Drop the file types and wording carried over from the sibling raster
editor: the macOS exported type now declares .vectorcraft/.drawcraft
(was .pcraft) and the raster imported types (large raster documents, QOI)
are gone; the dev bundle's PDF type is "PDF Document"; Linux categories and
keywords say vector graphics (no trademark keyword), the AppStream
description and screenshot show VectorCraft, and the deb/rpm, MSI and web
embedding descriptions say vector illustration app. File associations stay
as they are. An xtask test rejects raster-editor wording in packaging/.

The wide-gamut RGB working space is now "Wide Gamut RGB (1998 primaries)";
its old name still resolves everywhere (cms::profile / canonical_name,
Color Settings, Assign Profile, documents and settings saved earlier).
The Effect menu section is "Vector Effects", stroke width profiles are
Lens / Taper Start / Taper End, dash, arrowhead-tip and gradient-on-stroke
tooltips are reworded, the Window library submenus hold neutral disabled
placeholders until the generated libraries land, and the Swatches menu
offers "Save Swatch Library…" (disabled).
