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.

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 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
(#243), but each entry also shows its shortcut: after editing shortcuts
the palette kept showing the old ones until the language changed. The
cache key now includes the shortcut editor's generation. From #242.

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 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.
Fixes#236.

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.
Fixes#232.

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.

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.

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.

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).

47 of the 83 entries were labels from other apps ("New blank PDF", "Comments panel",

- 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).

- 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.

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.

(Prefs::tool_settings). The 7 Liquify tools share one set of Global Brush
Dimensions; the Symbolism tools share their brush. tool.setOption takes
{values} and a `tool` (another tool's options are stored for later), returns
the options, and works headless (MCP host command).

Node ids are per document, so a rename left open while another document
came to the front renamed that document's node with the same id. The
panel drops an open rename when the document it shows changes.
