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.

paint.proxies gives swatch-linked paint as {type, color, swatch, tint};
document.inspect gives it as a label such as "G1 40% (#ff9999)". The tints
section and the inspect_document row now say so.

A type node's fill, stroke and strokeWidth now come from its first run, as
paint.proxies and its strokeOptions already did; fills and strokes of the
type object itself are reported apart as objectFill, objectStroke and
objectStrokeWidth.

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.

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).

A line that is not a JSON object with a string `method` (an HTTP request
line, other non-JSON text, a JSON array, invalid UTF-8, a line over 4 MiB)
now gets one error reply and the connection is closed, so a browser's
cross-origin fetch can't smuggle a command in its body. Connections are
capped at 16. Same transport as LightCraft (storytold/lightcraft#129) and
FilmCraft (storytold/filmcraft#123).
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).

release.yml's comments sent readers to docs/releasing.md, which never
existed: the workflow was ported from a sibling app without its document.
docs/releasing.md now covers how a release is cut (version bump with
cargo xtask version, the release branch, the draft, publishing, test runs
with a version override), what each job builds and how (macOS universal
signing and notarization, Windows x64/x86/arm64 with the PE checks and the
two signing options, Linux packages and the glibc 2.35 floor behind the
ubuntu-22.04 runners, FreeBSD in a VM, the web build, craft-fonts), the
draft release job and the signing secrets. Every detail is checked against
this repository's workflow and packaging scripts. The README links it.

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.
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.

Shippori Mincho (assets/fonts, from #145) moves to storytold/craft-fonts. crates/text/build.rs
embeds the fonts of a craft-fonts checkout when CRAFT_FONTS_DIR is set (web: BIZ UDPGothic
Regular only) as vectorcraft_text::CRAFT_FONTS; unset, it is empty and Japanese falls back to the
installed fonts. Document text gets the Japanese faces after the bundled fonts (Mincho first); the
UI adds them at the end of every egui family (BIZ UDPGothic first), before ui_fonts' system-font
discovery. Release and FreeBSD CI builds check craft-fonts out at a pinned commit; packages carry
the fonts' OFL texts.

- Edit Contents: while an envelope's contents are edited, clicks hit the
content where it sits undistorted and the Selection tool selects it; the
menu item reads Edit Envelope then. No default shortcut: the reference
app's (Shift+Cmd+V) is Paste in Place here.
- A selected envelope shows its mesh (a warp's surface grid, a mesh's own,
a top object's outline) instead of its content's outlines.
- Mesh envelope points get bezier handles (append-only; none stored is the
smooth Catmull-Rom mesh, which the first handle edit fills in exactly
along the grid lines). setMeshPoint takes `handle`; object.mesh.movePoint,
addLine and deletePoint edit mesh envelopes too. The Mesh tool and Direct
Selection drag points and the clicked point's handles (shared MeshEdit);
the Mesh tool adds rows and columns inside mesh envelopes. Reset with
Mesh keeps the shape along the grid with handles; Release returns the
exact mesh.
- Control bar: Edit Envelope / Edit Contents, warp style, orientation,
bend and distortions or mesh rows and columns, Reset, Envelope Options.

The Perspective Grid tool's left and right ground-level points move the whole
grid; the left and right extents are separate (extentRight; Alt drags both,
Shift goes by whole cells); a cell size widget sits up the line where the planes
meet; Shift keeps a vanishing point on the horizon and the ground points and
origin on one axis. The Plane Switching Widget stays put in a corner of the
document window (ViewInfo/ToolContext carry the window as a ScreenFrame), takes
its clicks with any tool while the grid shows (the Perspective Selection tool
too while it's hidden), and 1-4 pick the left, horizontal, right and no plane.
Double-clicking the Perspective Grid tool opens Perspective Grid Options
(show the widget, its corner; perspective.widget.options, kept with the
preferences).

Type and symbol instances attached to a plane keep their art and carry a projection
(Node.perspective.projection, append-only); the canvas and every export draw their outlines
through it (reshape/bake), so they are foreshortened and stay type and symbol instances. Bounds,
hit testing and transforms follow the projection. Object › Perspective › Edit Text
(perspective.editText, or double-clicking with the Perspective Selection tool) shows the type flat
where it is drawn in isolation mode; exiting isolation projects it again. Release with
Perspective keeps their look. Copies, pastes, duplicates and Selection-tool moves keep the
attachment (the art moves as dragged). Flare, spiral and polar grid draw on the active plane, and
so do the click-to-size shape dialogs (perspective.draw `at`: sizes in plane units).

- Images distort as a raster mesh warp: cut by Fidelity into triangles,
each a clipped image under the affine map of its corners (pieces overlap
slightly, no seams; the renderer paints them without clip layers; SVG
writes the pixels once and <use>s them).
- Symbol instances distort as their symbol's art (the renderer's cache
follows edits to the symbol).
- Distort Appearance bakes strokes (filled outlines) and geometry effects
before bending; Distort Linear Gradients bends linear gradients; Distort
Pattern Fills bends the tiles. Opacity masks of the content bend too.
- Bug fix: a rotated, sheared or reflected warp envelope re-warped along
the page axes. Envelopes now keep their own frame (append-only model
field), so the warp turns with the art; move and scale keep it square.
- Live evaluation shares one set of hooks (vectorcraft_doc::live::Hooks,
vectorcraft_effects::{expand_live, expanded_live_group,
expand_live_deep}) between the canvas, Expand and every exporter.

Closed shapes start where they twist least (unless the Blend tool
picked the anchors); dashes, miter limit, arrowhead scale and width
profiles interpolate (caps, joins and brushes switch halfway);
gradients with different stop counts resample to common stops; groups
with different member counts grow the extra members out of a point;
compound steps stay compound paths; type, symbol instances and images
interpolate their transforms, type its colours and sizes run by run.
New blends are knockout groups and the canvas draws them knocked out
as the exports do. Expand and Release keep the blend's name,
transparency, opacity mask and appearance, and Object > Expand expands
blends.

- A compound path's stroke lives on the compound: the tool edits it through
any member, and stroke.widthPoint.* / stroke.widthProfile.set given a member
edit the compound's profile.
- Width points show on every subpath the stroke runs along (not just the
first) for the hovered and the selected stroke.
- Cursors: the Width tool's own glyphs off a stroke, over a stroke (a drag
adds a point) and over a width point or handle (a drag moves or widens it).
- Hint-bar text for the tool.

Holding the brush still keeps Twirl, Pucker and Bloat applying, scaled by the
time held: a new Tool::tick (time supplied by the host: canvas frames, or
`holdMs` on ui.pointer / pointer_gesture events) repeats the last point every
0.1 s, one more dab there. Liquify never touches graphs, meshes, type, symbols,
images, or envelopes, repeats and blends with their contents, nor guides in
selection mode; those under the brush come back in `skipped` with a `warning`
that the status bar shows (UiRequest::Status). A drag applies only the dabs
each new sample adds (the stroke's state is kept between previews), giving the
same result as the whole stroke, so journal replay still reproduces it.

View > Perspective Grid gains Show/Hide Rulers, Snap to Grid (on by default),
Lock/Unlock Grid and Lock Station Point, with flipping labels and checkmarks (and
Show/Hide Grid's label). Lock Grid stops the grid widgets from dragging; Lock
Station Point swings the other vanishing point around the station point; Snap to
Grid lands drawn corners and moved edges on gridlines within a quarter cell
(perspective.draw/move take snap?); Show Rulers draws a ruler up the true height
line in the grid's units. Gridlines draw in the Define Grid colours and opacity.
New commands perspective.grid.lock/lockStation/snap/rulers (view state).
Existing tests that measure exact perspective moves (two in tests_distort.rs,
the persp_session helper of tests_persp_select.rs) turn snapping off first (it is on by
default and would move their exact corners onto gridlines).

The grid keeps per-plane offsets (leftOffset, rightOffset, groundOffset). Each plane has a widget
(a diamond in its colour) that the Perspective Grid and Perspective Selection tools drag: plain
moves the plane, Shift moves the objects on it too, Alt copies them (perspective.plane.move).
Double-clicking a widget, or ui.perspectivePlane, opens the plane's options dialog (location; Do
Not Move / Move All Objects / Copy All Objects). Object › Perspective › Move Plane to Match Object
(perspective.plane.matchObject). New objects attach where the plane is. Grid edits leave
attached art in place as the reference app does; perspective.grid.set {reproject: true} moves it
with the grid.

- Pins show as soon as the tool has art selected: automatic ones at the
centre and the middle of each limb's end (at least three), until pins are
placed. They stay across tool switches while the selection is unchanged and
a new selection starts afresh.
- The pins live in the document (Document.puppet, never saved) with the rest
shape they started from: every warp starts from it, so warps don't stack and
dragging a pin back restores the original; Undo/Redo take the pins back with
the art. Adding and deleting pins are undo steps too.
- object.puppetWarp gains rest: true (the tool's pins); the new query
object.puppetWarp.pins reads them. A click off the mesh adds nothing and
says so (not-allowed cursor, canvas label); the command refuses such pins.
- The mesh grid covers the expanded art, so tiny art with a wide Expand no
longer allocates millions of cells.
- Tests on groups, compound paths and open strokes.

A selected blend shows its spine. Direct Selection drags spine points
and handles, the Pen tool adds and deletes points on a selected
blend's spine (object.blend.spine.moveAnchor/addAnchor/removeAnchor).
The straight spine becomes a path on the first edit, its points pinned
to the key objects (append-only BlendSpec.key_anchors): moving a key
moves its end of the spine and the other way round; spines from older
files and Replace Spine still spread the keys evenly. Direct and Group
Selection pick blend keys on the canvas, edits redraw the blend live,
and Release leaves the spine as a path.

Blend Options is a dedicated dialog (Spacing dropdown with its value,
Align to Page / Align to Path buttons, live preview) opened on the
selected blend's own options, so OK no longer turns Smooth Color into
5 steps; with nothing selected it sets what new blends start with
(object.blend.info reads them). The Blend tool blends from clicked
anchor points (blend spec `starts`), adds keys to an existing blend
instead of nesting it, opens Blend Options on double-click, Alt-click
and its toolbar button, and has its own cursors and hint.

The Perspective Selection tool shows the selection's bounding box in perspective; its handles
scale in plane space (perspective.transform; Shift proportional, Alt from the centre). Alt-drag
moves copies that stay attached, pressing 5 while dragging moves along the plane's normal
(ToolKey::Digit, delivered by the canvas and MCP press_key), and the arrow keys nudge in
perspective (perspective.nudge). Transform Again repeats the last perspective move or scale in
plane space. Attachments (plane and depth) now live on the objects (Node.perspective), so copies,
duplicates and pastes keep them; grids from older files hand theirs over. Homography moves to
vectorcraft-geom. Hint-bar text for the tool.

The canvas captures pen pressure from pen/touch force, ui.pointer and MCP
pointer events take `pressure`, and object.liquify takes [x, y, pressure].

Every exporter (SVG, PDF, EPS, EMF/WMF, DXF) evaluated live objects with no
text outliner, so type inside an envelope was written undistorted. They now

for the whole line).

Make with Warp and Make with Mesh open dedicated dialogs (style dropdown,

content (Maintain Envelope Shape samples the current surface). Envelope
Options is a full dialog prefilled from the selection (Anti-Alias,
Preserve Shape, Fidelity, Distort Appearance, Distort Linear Gradients,
Distort Pattern Fills); with nothing selected it sets the defaults for new

The Width and Puppet Warp tools now claim Delete and Backspace while they

clears the selection like the desktop app does.

Each tool keeps its options (a table in vectorcraft_tools::settings) when another
tool is chosen, across document switches, and in the saved preferences
(Prefs::tool_settings). The 7 Liquify tools share one set of Global Brush

{values} and a `tool` (another tool's options are stored for later), returns
the options, and works headless (MCP host command).

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.

VectorCraft had an Additional Plug-ins Folder preference but nothing loaded from it. Port
PhotoCraft's wasmi plug-in host (same sandbox, manifest and parameter schema) as the new
vectorcraft-plugins crate (L2), extended for vector documents:
- Object filters read the selected paths and compound paths as JSON (native PathData and
Paint forms: geometry, fills, strokes, gradients, opacity) and return the objects to keep,
change, add or delete; the output is validated in full and applied as one undo step
(plugin.run). A failing plug-in leaves the document untouched.
- Live-effect plug-ins are geometry effects in the appearance stack (effect id
plugin.<id>), re-evaluated (and cached) when the object or parameters change, editable,
exported and baked by Expand Appearance; a missing plug-in leaves the geometry as is.
- plugin.list / info / run / install / remove / reload; the preference folder installs
every *.wasm at startup and when it changes; File > Open of a .wasm installs it (web).
- Object > Plug-ins and Effect > Plug-ins menus with dialogs generated from the parameter
schema (live preview), the Appearance panel's fx menu, docs/plugins.md, an original
example plug-in (Desaturate, a Rust crate outside the workspace) and fuzzing of the
plug-in boundary (engine/tests/plugin_fuzz.rs).
Tool plug-ins and paint-changing live effects are left for later (docs/plugins.md).

The Transform panel had the link, but kept it in panel-local egui memory;
the Properties panel's Transform section and the Control bar had none, so
size changes there were never proportional.
The link is now the constrainProportions preference (prefs.get/prefs.set),
one toggle shared by the three places (transform::constrain_link), and every
W/H field passes it to object.setBounds as `proportional`.

Clicking with the Type tool runs text.create at once, and ending the edit
(Escape, another tool, a click elsewhere) only stopped editing, so every stray
click left an invisible empty text object and a "Type" history step.
The Type tool now remembers the point type its click placed and, when editing
ends with it still empty, runs the new text.discardEmpty command: it removes
the text and, when nothing else changed since the step that created it, drops
those steps so neither the document nor the history keeps a trace. A command
from outside the tool that takes the edited text out of the selection
(Deselect, a Layers panel pick) or removes it now ends the edit too
(Tool::after_command). Dragged area-type frames and type in or on a path keep
their frame.

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.

The control channel attached its modifiers only to the synthetic key and
button events, while most handlers read egui's held modifiers
(i.modifiers), which only the keyboard set. The raw input hook now sets
egui's modifiers (a ModifiersChanged event) for the frames synthetic input
spans: a key's press, text and release, a click, and a drag from press
through its moves to release; the keyboard's modifiers, tracked from the
host's events, come back after. ui.key's text now comes with the press.

font_props wrote `bold` for any style whose name contained bold, black
or heavy and nothing for the others unless fonts were embedded, so
Semibold came back Bold and Light or Medium came back Regular. It now
writes the style's numeric weight (font_descriptor, from style_weight)
for every writer: 600 for Semibold, 300 for Light, 900 for Black, `bold`
for 700 and nothing for 400. The SVG import already reads these numbers
back to the matching face.

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).
