Laser and cutter software skips HATCH entities, so shapes that were only
filled (type, traced art) reached it as nothing. Each filled area is now
written as its outlines (polylines and splines, in the fill's colour)
followed by the solid hatch; R12 keeps writing the outlines alone.

Metal reports no PCI ids, so both GPUs of a dual-GPU Mac had the adapter key
Metal:0000:0000. When the integrated GPU failed at start-up, the restart left
out both and the app quit, although the discrete GPU works. An adapter without
ids is now keyed by its name, so the restart leaves out only the one that
failed.
The failure itself was wgpu's indirect-call validation compute shader, which
OCLP-patched Metal on an Iris Pro can't compile. Nothing in VectorCraft or
egui draws indirectly, so that validation is off (WGPU_VALIDATION_INDIRECT_CALL=1
turns it back on).

The panel laid out a row (with its thumbnail and several whole-document
lookups) for every open row each frame. A layer of 5,000 groups of 10 paths,
all open, took about 29 s a frame headless. Now the rows shown are listed once
per document change (with their layer colour and dimming worked out on the
way down) and ScrollArea::show_rows lays out only those in view: 0.4 ms a
frame. A row highlighted out of view is scrolled to.
The open rows move from UI state into the document's state
(DocState::layers_open, OpenRows): a document opens with only its top-level
layers open, and native files save the open rows (Document::layers_open,
written only when not the default, at save time like the view, so opening or
closing rows never marks the document modified).

French now sits between Spanish and Italian (es, fr, it, ru): the
plural rule, the LANGUAGES registry entry (so the Language menu lists
Français before Italiano), the locale tests, the fr() helper and
french_reads_as_french. README, ROADMAP and docs/development.md list
the languages in the same order.

Add fr.tsv with the full interface coverage: every menu string, every
tl! literal, the plurals and the status/error messages (@msg).
Registered as complete_menus with the French plural rule (0 and 1 are
singular); every fr-* locale (fr-FR, fr-BE, fr-CA, fr-CH …) resolves
to it. Keeps the product, workspace and perspective preset names in
English like the other complete catalogs.
Tests: french_reads_as_french; fr added to KEEPS_MENU_NAMES and
COMPLETE_MESSAGES; the Latin-script glyph test covers French letters
and the no-break space; locale tests use de-DE as the unsupported case.
Clean-room: written from the meaning of the English labels in the
vocabulary French-speaking users of vector illustration software know
(Plan de travail, Nuancier, Contour, Fond, Tracé, Calque). No other
application's localisation was copied.

Character panel menu › Character Alignment gains ICF Top/Right and ICF Bottom/Left, and
`charAlign` takes `icfTop` / `icfBottom`: a character smaller than the largest on its line lines
up its ideographic character face's top (right, vertical) or bottom (left) with the big one's.
`FontFace::icf_margins` places the ICF inside the em box as the OpenType baseline tags define it
(https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/opentype/spec/baselinetags): `icfb` / `icft` of the
BASE table's horizontal and vertical axes against `ideo` / `idtp` (else the OS/2 typographic
descender and one em), for Han ideographs (else kana, else the first script). Without them, as that
page allows, the average ink box of some ideographs and kana; a face without ideographs uses its
em box.

Document symbols placed inline in a run of type (beyond Illustrator; like
InDesign inline anchored objects): TextRun.inline holds the symbol, scale and
shift; the run is one U+FFFC laid out as a glyph sized to the art, centred on
the cap height. text.insertInline and Type > Insert Inline Symbol; editing
keeps the graphic whole; canvas, SVG (<use>) and PDF draw the art; Create
Outlines turns it into a symbol instance.
The DirectWrite font lister (#594) was installed in the desktop app only:
`vectorcraft-cli` (convert, run, MCP) didn't see fonts that font services
such as Adobe Fonts load on Windows, so its exports set such type in a
fallback font.
- The CLI shares the app's `system_fonts.rs` and installs it first thing
on Windows (not the win7 build). The text crate stays free of unsafe
code; the CLI denies unsafe code instead of forbidding it, so the
shared module's own allowance applies.

While the Free Transform tool (E) is active, a small box at the canvas's
top left holds Constrain over the tool's three modes: Free Transform,
Perspective Distort and Free Distort. Before, the modes were reachable
only by modifier keys or `tool.setOption`.
- The buttons set the tool's `constrain` and `mode` options through
`tool.setOption`, as agents do. Constrain acts as Shift held and is
greyed in the distort modes, where it does nothing. The modifier keys
keep working while dragging.
- Theme tokens; Constrain shows the link icon, Free Transform the tool's
own icon, the distort modes are drawn in code. Tooltips translated
(cs, es, it, ja, pt-br, ru, zh-hans, zh-hant).
- `ui.inspect` reports where it shows (`freeTransformWidget`).

File › Open, Other Library… and the User Defined library folder read
.ase files. Colors keep their model, global and spot colors stay global
and spot, and color groups stay groups. The library readers take a
file's bytes. On the web, File › Open passes a swatch library file to
swatch.library.load as dataBase64 instead of as lossy UTF-8 text.
Swatch and group names in a library are now unique, in .gpl files too.
Add to Swatches puts each color group of a library into one document
group when the document already has a swatch with the group's name.
The library fuzz helpers fail when a command panics.
Each paragraph has its own alignment, indents, spacing, hyphenation, tab
stops and paragraph style (TextObject.paras; para stays paragraph 0's, so
old files and readers work). Layout, editing (split/merge), threads, the
Paragraph/Tabs/Paragraph Styles panels, ranged text.setStyle/setFormat/
tabs/paraStyle.apply, SVG export/import and the fuzzers follow.
Area Type Options gain a fit: none, autoHeight (Illustrator's Auto Size:
the frame's height follows the text after every edit, resolved in
refresh_bounds inside the edit so it shares the edit's undo step) and
shrinkText {minPercent} (beyond Illustrator: overflowing text scales its
sizes, leading and baseline shifts down at layout time by the largest
factor, in 0.1 pt steps of the first run, that fits). The Auto Size New
Area Type preference now applies. text.areaOptions and document.inspect
report overflow and the shrink factor; the Area Type Options dialog
offers fit and first baseline as dropdowns.
A `.ai` file's PDF part is what apps that don't read VectorCraft's native
document open. It had no PDF layers: hidden layers and sublayers were left
out of it and everything else was flat page content.
- `.ai` files (Save As, exports, the CLI) write PDF layers unless
`createLayers` is false (a PDF standard still decides for itself).
- createLayers writes sublayers too, as optional content groups listed
under their layer's in `/Order`, hidden ones off with their art.
- A layer's form gets a box round the whole page instead of its art's
bounds, which readers made a clipping group of, gathering a layer's art
and its sublayers' in one group.
- PDF import: art inside a group, clip or form that dissolves into its
parent keeps the layer it was drawn in, so sublayers nested in their
layer's content import as sublayers.
- Save PDF: "Create PDF layers from layers and sublayers" (ja, es, it,
pt-br, ru, zh-hans, zh-hant).
Hidden objects (not layers) still aren't in the PDF part.

Area Type Options > Align: Top / Center / Bottom / Justify (AreaOptions.verticalAlign,
LayoutOptions.vertical_align). Each row/column cell is aligned on its own; rectangular
cells shift their lines, other frames and text wrap reflow until settled without
losing text. Justify shares the leftover space equally between line gaps. Area Type Options
shows Align and First Baseline as dropdowns (the parameter dialog's choices table).
Font services load their fonts with GDI at run time, from files in their
own folders, without installing them: neither the font folders nor the
registry list them, so the font scan never saw them. DirectWrite's system
font collection holds them since Windows 10 1607.
- vectorcraft-text: `set_platform_font_files` lets the app name font files
the platform knows; each scan and each check for installed fonts asks
again and reads those outside the font folders. A file named by itself
is read whatever its extension (font services keep fonts in files
without one).
- The desktop app lists the local files of DirectWrite's system font
collection on Windows (`system_fonts.rs`, through the windows crate
already in the build), read in place.
- The check for fonts installed while the app was in the background runs
on a thread: DirectWrite's check for updates takes about 50 ms.

Illustrator's Every-line Composer balances the breaks of the whole
paragraph for left/centre/right aligned text too, not only justified
text. VectorCraft only composed justified area text; ragged text was
always broken greedily.
- Model: ParaStyle.composer (vectorcraft_doc::Composer, re-exported by
vectorcraft-text), Every-line by default like Illustrator, saved only
when Single-line. layout() reads it from the object;
LayoutOptions.composer is now an Option override for tests.
- Composer: the justified gate is gone. Ragged lines never shrink (a
line that doesn't fit ends the node), badness is 100*r^3 with r = the
line's leftover space over a rag zone of 1/6 of the width (finite for
lines without spaces); the last line is free unless shorter than 1/3
of the width (measured in zones of 1/3), so a lone short word on the
last line pulls a word down. Hyphens cost 25 in ragged text (50 in
justified). Knuth-Plass fitness classes with adjacency demerits
(justified 10000, ragged 1000). Lines past the last width change
share one node key, active nodes are capped (4096) and paragraphs
over 200k glyphs break single-line, so work stays bounded; ragged
tries a tolerance of one rag zone, then any fitting breaks, then
falls back to greedy.
- text.setFormat {composer: "singleLine"|"everyLine"}; the Paragraph
panel menu's composer items work with a check mark (Reset Panel goes
back to Every-line).
- Tests: ragged Every-line moves "or" down in "Destroy all creatures
with toughness X or less." where greedy leaves "less." alone; the rag
of long paragraphs is no worse than greedy (sum of squared leftover
and of neighbour differences); Single-line is greedy; the 10k-char
layout budget covers ragged text; command test with undo; native
format round trip (rich_session's text is now Single-line).
No existing test needed changing: the justified tests and
hyphenated_layout_adds_hyphens (ragged, now Every-line) still pass.
Auto alignment (start of the paragraph direction) is ragged; a wrapped
line's Mojikumi flush opening bracket gives its half em back to the
composer, as in the line loop; tests cover Auto in both directions.
Layout of 10k chars, release: justified Every-line 5.6 ms, ragged
Every-line 5.8 ms, ragged Single-line 4.8 ms.
Add ru.tsv with the full interface coverage: every menu string, every
tl! literal, the plurals (one/few/many) and the status/error messages
(@msg). Registered as complete_menus with the Russian plural rule;
every ru-* locale resolves to it. Keeps the product, workspace and
perspective preset names in English like the other complete catalogs.
Tests: russian_reads_as_russian, russian_plurals_have_three_forms,
russian_glyphs_are_available_without_system_fonts; ru added to
KEEPS_MENU_NAMES and COMPLETE_MESSAGES.
Clean-room: written from the meaning of the English labels in the
vocabulary Russian-speaking users of vector illustration software know
(Слой, Образцы, Обработка контуров, Монтажная область, Обводка,
Заливка), matching the Russian catalog of the sibling app PhotoCraft.
No other application's localisation was copied.
An SVG used as an animation rig lost its hidden alternates and their
rotation pivots: the exporter left hidden objects out (only hidden layers
could be kept), and the importer dropped data-* attributes.
- SVG export: hiddenLayers (on by default for document.save, as before)
now keeps hidden objects too, each written display="none" on its own
element (path, image, text or group). Exports still leave them out
unless asked; the CLI's convert asks, as a conversion keeps the
document.
- An object's own data: ObjectAttributes.data, the data-* attributes in
order (ours, data-name and data-vc-*, aside). The importer keeps them on
the objects and layers they belong to (at most 64 per element), the
exporter writes them back, the native format saves them (missing in
older files), and object.setProps {data: {key: value|null}} sets or
removes them.

file.saveAs and document.save wrote a PDF-compatible .ai, but
document.export (and with it the CLI's run --export x.ai and convert
in.svg out.ai, and MCP's export) refused it as a format that can only be
opened, and --help didn't list it as writable.
The .ai encoder is now shared: save.rs's ai_params and encode_ai (a PDF
of every artboard with the PDF options, carrying the native document,
blank pages with pdfCompatible: false) serve Save As and the exports
alike. The .ai format is writable, so document.formats, --help and the
MCP export tool list it; an export leaves the document's own path alone.
Export As and Export for Screens keep leaving .ai to Save As.

Exporting one artboard of many to SVG wrote the whole document's art into
that artboard's file, the other artboards' art outside its viewBox: an
editor opening it showed every artboard's art. A file for an artboard
named in the export (Use Artboards with a range or All, Export for
Screens) now holds the objects over that artboard only, at any depth of
layers, as DXF's crop leaves them; objects reaching into it stay whole
and a clipping layer keeps all of its objects. An SVG with no artboard
named (Save As) still holds the whole document.
Part of #546: Export As with a range writes the chosen artboard alone in
SVG, DXF, PDF and PNG, each file with that artboard's art (tested from
the dialogs).

Windows lists each GPU under both backends, and Vulkan came first. On an
Intel GPU its driver made the whole window flicker black while the
pointer moved; the same machine was fine with WGPU_BACKEND=dx12 or gl.
adapter_order now ranks a GPU's DX12 adapter before its Vulkan one, after
the power preference, so the GPU chosen doesn't change, only how it is
driven. Vulkan stays the fallback (a failed DX12 start restarts on it)
and WGPU_BACKEND=vulkan still picks it. Elsewhere there is no DX12
adapter, so nothing changes.

On macOS the menus are in the system menu bar, laid out as a Mac app's (Illustrator on the Mac as
the reference), and the app settings sit in the VectorCraft menu: About, Settings ▸ (one item per
Preferences page, General… ⌘K), Language ▸, Appearance ▸ (UI brightness), Services, Hide
VectorCraft ⌃⌘H (⌘H stays View › Hide Edges), Hide Others ⌥⌘H, Show All and Quit ⌘Q (the app's own
quit, so unsaved documents are asked about); they leave Edit and Help. Window gets Minimize ⌃⌘M,
Zoom and Bring All to Front; Help is the system's Help menu. Windows, Linux and the web keep the
in-window menu bar unchanged; --in-window-menus or VECTORCRAFT_IN_WINDOW_MENUS keeps it on macOS
too, and so does a menu bar AppKit refuses to build.
One menu model: the in-window menus and the native bar draw the same rows (menus::entry), and the
platform-free native_menu module lays them out, decides when to update (a cheap state hash; labels,
enabled and checked in place, a rebuild only when the structure changes) and hands key equivalents
back to egui as the key presses they were, so shortcuts, user overrides and focused text fields
behave as in the window and nothing fires twice. The muda backend (pinned =0.21.1, macOS only, no
unsafe) is apps/vectorcraft/src/mac_menu.rs, mirroring PhotoCraft's. ui.inspect reports
nativeMenuBar. Translations for the new labels in ja, es, zh-hans, zh-hant, cs and pt-br.

Every drawing tool now asks one snapper (guides::DrawSnap) for the points it
places: the Pen's and Curvature tool's anchors, the Pencil's ends, the shape
tools' start and dragged corner or radius (Rectangle, Rounded Rectangle,
Ellipse, Polygon, Star, Line Segment, Arc, Spiral, the grids), the Type tool's
click and frame and a new artboard's corners. Points land on other objects'
anchors, centres and paths ("anchor", "center", "path") or line up with their
anchors, edges and centres ("align"); hovering shows it before the press, the
Pen's guides end its rubber band, and the Pen lands on the path being drawn
too. Shift keeps a point to its 45-degree step (from Constrain Angle) or a
box's diagonal and slides it along that way into line with a target.
Preferences > Smart Guides > Construction Guides and Angles now act: a drawn
point near a guide through the point it leaves from lands on it.
Before, the Pen snapped only its press and showed nothing, and the shape tools
re-gathered targets on every drag step from the document showing their own
preview, so the dragged corner stuck to where the last step left it.
Performance: targets are gathered once per document state (keyed on the
document's uid and revision, now in ToolContext), from the art in the window,
and sorted, so the anchors, centres and lines near the pointer are found by
bisection. Leaving objects out of the targets no longer looks up each node's
ancestry (quadratic in the document's size): one pruned walk does it, which
also speeds up the Selection tool's moves and resizes.
The direction handles' HandleSnap (#494) is now a DrawSnap holding its own
targets (Targets::for_handle) for the drag: one cache, one lookup.

Corner widgets only ever showed on live rectangles: CornerWidgets::of bailed
out unless the selection's live shape was LiveShape::Rectangle, and
object.setLiveShape only edited rectangle radii. A star is a plain path, so it
had no widgets with either selection tool.
- geom::corners: the corners of any path (anchors without handles between two
straight sides) and the path with them cut round, inverted round or
chamfered, each corner a circle tangent to both sides, its radius no larger
than takes the cut halfway along its shorter side. Rectangles now cut their
corners with it (bit-identical anchors and layout).
- doc::corners::LiveCorners/set_corners: one model for a live rectangle's,
a live polygon's (new radii/kinds) and any other path's corners (new
LiveShape::Path keeping the uncut outline, plain again once nothing is cut);
radii scale with transforms (Scale Corners) and stay circular.
- object.setLiveShape takes anchor indices for `corners` on any path; polygons
keep a shared radius as their sides change.
- Widgets: Direct Selection on any path, Selection on live rectangles and
polygons; placed on each corner's bisector, the drag follows it, the red
limit outline marks corners at their own limit; the angle preference and
View > Hide Corner Widget apply. Corners dialog and the Properties and
Transform panels' Corner Radius (now on polygons too) work on them.
- Tests for the star, the polygon and a pen path in geom, doc, tools, engine
and ui-egui; docs and ROADMAP.

Adds an Italian catalog (crates/ui-egui/src/i18n/it.tsv, 3,549 rows in
es.tsv's order) covering every menu string, every tl! literal, the
plurals and every status/error message, at the same scope as Spanish.
Standard Italian in sentence case, written clean-room from the meaning
of the English labels; the product, workspace, perspective preset and
language names stay in English as in es and ja.
Registered as "Italiano" with the one/other plural rule and
complete_menus; every it-* locale resolves to it. Tests: it joins
KEEPS_MENU_NAMES and COMPLETE_MESSAGES, italian_reads_as_italian checks
vocabulary and plurals, tags_map_to_languages the locale tags, and the
bundled-font glyph test covers Italian accents and guillemets. README,

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_011iayep93edeimiAE8oSfaT
- Type left unfinished when a layer's marked content ends, and a clip that closes in a later layer,
stay in their own layer (no stray "Page N" layer, no art moved to the next layer).
- Top-level layers stack as the pages mark them, so a layer whose art starts on a later page keeps its
place; layers marked with no art come in empty.
- A stroke written as each glyph's outline stroked, right after (or before) the type, becomes the type
object's stroke above (or below) its characters: the type stays one editable object.
- Spaces read from gaps wider than a space get their own tracking where even tracking would put the
glyphs after them more than a tenth of an em off (barcode digit groups); lines are measured to their
last visible glyph, so a wrapped line's trailing space no longer spreads into the tracking.
- Lines wrapped in a frame (each wrapped line ending in a space, one left edge, font, size and leading,
with an optional paragraph spacing) come back as one area type object, left aligned or justified,
only where laying it out breaks the lines exactly where the file does.

- The worker reads the clipboard only while nothing is copied in the app
and a document is open (as the in-line check did before), and idles on
a channel otherwise; it sends a verdict and wakes the UI only when the
answer changes.
- The in-line check (Windows, macOS, web) keeps its short-circuit: it
doesn't open the system clipboard after an in-app copy or without a
document, as before the PR.
- A dead worker hands the check back to the UI thread instead of
freezing the last verdict.
- Dropping the app wakes the worker and waits (250 ms at most) until it
has let go of its clipboard handle: on X11 the last arboard handle
alive hands what the app copied to the clipboard manager, and a
detached worker holding it would lose that handover at exit.
- The factory stays in `Services` until the first frame takes it (no
extra app fields); main.rs installs it with `cfg!(target_os = "linux")`.
- Tests trimmed from five to three that share tests_sysclip's helpers:
the frame never waits on a slow clipboard and only the probe thread
reads it (nothing read without a document), the probe rests after an
in-app copy and lets go of its handle when the app drops, and a dead
probe falls back to the in-line check. The in-line case is already
covered by tests_clipboard.
- ROADMAP (Last updated, Platforms, Shipped so far) and
docs/development.md (Linux: clipboard owners that never answer).

As decided in #432 (option 2): while the interface is in Japanese, new type starts with em box
top-to-top leading and em box centre character alignment; other languages keep the Roman
baseline, so Latin area type doesn't move.
- The UI tells the engine the language it is drawn in each frame (`Session::ui_language`); without
a UI, an explicit `interfaceLanguage` preference counts (`Session::japanese_interface`).
- `text.create` and `text.createInPath` (the Type tools' clicks and drags) apply it, and take
`leadingModel` / `charAlign` to choose; the values used are journaled, so a replay does the same
in any language.
- `paraStyle.new` / `charStyle.new` made from nothing (no `attrs`, no text selected) carry them.
- Imported text (PDF, SVG, DXF…) keeps the Roman baseline. Saved documents keep what they say.
- docs/mcp.md (New type in a Japanese interface) and the ROADMAP note it.

Reported: with the Pen there was no way to edit curves in place as Ctrl does in Illustrator on
Windows (Cmd on the Mac), segments couldn't be grabbed, and the curve-editing tools felt slow and
sometimes didn't take a handle.
- Cmd/Ctrl held at a press with any tool but a selection tool now borrows the selection tool in the
engine (Session::pointer), not in the canvas: the selection tool chosen last, or Direct Selection
for the Pen, Curvature and anchor tools until one is chosen. The tool lent to isn't deactivated,
so the Pen goes on drawing its path after the release while that path stays selected; it no
longer draws on another open path selected meanwhile. Agents reach it with pointer_gesture
mods.cmd. With Cmd held the pointer is the borrowed tool's. Choosing a tool or switching
documents mid-gesture gives the tool back first.
- Pen + Alt over a segment of a selected path reshapes it, as the Anchor Point tool does.
- The handles shown are the handles that drag (one helper for Direct Selection, the Anchor Point
tool and Pen + Alt): Direct Selection now drags the handles of a path selected as a whole (as
the Pen leaves it, so Cmd + drag of a handle while drawing works), the Anchor Point tool no
longer grabs handles that Show handles when multiple anchors are selected hides, the nearest
handle wins, and a handle shorter than the tolerance leaves its anchor to be picked. The anchor
tools pick within Selection & Anchor Display > Tolerance instead of a fixed 4 px.
- path.reshapeSegment keeps a smooth anchor at either end smooth (its other handle turns with the
moved one) instead of kinking it.
- A dragged handle gathered its smart guide targets from the whole document on every pointer move
(21 ms per move on 20,000 paths): HandleSnap now gathers them once per drag (1 ms).
vectorcraft-cli perf measures handle and segment drags on a 5,000-anchor path.
- catalog::is_selection_tool and catalog::edits_anchors replace the UI's own lists.
- Tests in tools, engine and MCP (headless pointer_gesture); docs/mcp.md, control-protocol.md,
ROADMAP.
