- The Paragraph panel menu's Burasagari submenu reads None / Regular / Force, as the reference
app's help names them (`text.setFormat` keeps "none"/"standard"/"forced", its scripting names);
Reset Panel goes back to new type's Regular.
- The full-width ，．and half-width ､｡ hang too; Latin commas and full stops never do, so Latin
text keeps its breaks and composer with new type's default (tested). The spaces after a hanging
mark stay on its line.
- docs/mcp.md: a Burasagari section. ROADMAP: wording, Last updated.

Paragraph panel menu › Burasagari › None / Standard / Forced (with the East Asian options) and
`text.setFormat {burasagari}`:
- None: a comma or full stop that doesn't fit goes to the next line with the character before it.
- Standard: one that doesn't fit hangs outside the line; one that fits stays inside.
- Forced: one ending an area type line always hangs, and the rest of the line fills the measure.
Only 、 and 。 hang (closing brackets don't), in the width their mojikumi gives them. Horizontal
and vertical. Saved only when not None; new type keeps None. Paragraphs with burasagari are
composed line by line.

Guides dragged out of a ruler did not snap at all (only Shift to the ruler's
ticks): they now go through the engine (`Session::ruler_guide`, a
`NewGuide` previewing `guide.add`, one undo step) and snap as a moved guide
does: with Smart Guides to the edges, centres (so the sides' midpoints) and
anchors of the art and of the artboards, labelled; with Smart Guides off,
View > Snap to Point pulls new and moved guides onto anchors. Moving art
with the Selection tool already snapped flush to artboard edges and centres
with Smart Guides on; a test now covers it.
Artboard guides: `Guide.artboard` holds an artboard id (written only when
set, so canvas guides save as before and older files open unchanged).
`guide.add {artboard}` makes one, `guide.list` reports it; a guide dragged
out of a ruler with the Artboard tool belongs to the active artboard. It is
drawn, picked and snapped to across its artboard only, moves with it
(`artboard.move`, a pure move in `artboard.setProps`, `artboard.rearrange`),
is copied with it (`artboard.duplicate`, Alt-drag copy) and deleted with it
(`artboard.delete`, the guide selection kept in step).
Guides as Layers rows with their own lock and hide (part d) stay open: ruler
guides are not layer nodes; Lock Guides locks them all, and Make Guides
paths are Layers rows already. Listed in the ROADMAP parity row.

With the Artboard tool chosen, Copy and Cut take its artboard together with
the art fully inside it (when Move/Copy Artwork with Artboard is on), and
Paste brings both back in one undo step: Paste right of the last artboard,
Paste in Place / in Front / in Back where it was, into this or another
document, the art going back into the layers it came from (Paste on All
Artboards pastes the art alone). The clipboard carries the artboard
(Clipboard::artboard); a pasted artboard keeps its name when it is free.
Duplicate Artboards (the Artboards panel menu, and now a row dragged onto
New Artboard) copies the art too: artboard.duplicate {index?, art?} defaults
to the Artboard tool's artboard and moveArt option and reports the copies.
It shares copy_artboard with the Alt-drag copy (artboard.move {copy}).
New commands reachable over MCP: artboard.copy and artboard.cut
{index?, art?}; edit.copy / edit.cut run them while the Artboard tool is
chosen (and are enabled then with nothing selected). Docs (mcp.md), the
tool and panel docs, translations of the new labels and the ROADMAP follow.

text.setRangeStyle takes charAlign, so the panel menu works on the
characters selected with the Type tool (it routes there while text is
edited, and charAlign alone was answered with "nothing to change").
One char_align_param parses it for both commands. The menu shows with
Preferences › Type › Show East Asian Options, like Mojikumi Set and
Top-to-Top Leading. Rows in the Simplified Chinese, Spanish and
Brazilian Portuguese catalogs; the Japanese Em Box Center names the em
box. ROADMAP: the gating, the range command, and ICF top/bottom still
missing.

Characters of different sizes on one line all sat on the Roman baseline.
Japanese layout usually lines them up by their ideographic em boxes
instead (a 16 pt 第一回 next to 32 pt 雅楽 centred on it, not sitting on
its baseline). The Character panel menu now has Character Alignment:
- `CharStyle.char_align`: Roman Baseline (as before, the default), or the
em box Top/Right, Center or Bottom/Left: a character smaller than the
line's largest moves so that its em box top, centre or bottom lines up
with the largest's (the em box from the font's vertical metrics, else
0.12 em below the baseline to 0.88 em above it). Vertical type the
same across the column (top → right). Written only when not Roman
Baseline.
- `text.setFormat {charAlign: "romanBaseline"|"emBoxTop"|"emBoxCenter"|
"emBoxBottom"}`; the menu shows the selection's setting; catalog rows
in ja and zh-hant.
- Not yet: aligning on the ICF (average character face) top and bottom.

Japanese layout measures leading from the top of one line's ideographic
em box to the next (the right side, in vertical type), not from baseline
to baseline. The Paragraph panel menu now offers both:
- `ParaStyle.leading_model`: RomanBaseline (as before, the default) or
EmBoxTop. With EmBoxTop a line's leading is the space below it — the
next line's em box top is this line's plus its leading, and the next
baseline hangs from there by that line's tallest em box — and area
type's first line touches the top of the frame (its em box top on the
frame's top, at least Area Type Options' minimum). With baseline
leading a line's leading stays the space above it.
- Lines of one size are exactly as far apart either way; the models
differ for mixed sizes and for the first line of area type (fonts
whose ascent isn't the em box top: Hiragino's nearly is).
- The em box top comes from the font's vertical metrics (#343), else
0.88 em. Written only when EmBoxTop.
- `text.setFormat {leadingModel: "romanBaseline"|"emBoxTop"}`; menu items
Top-to-Top Leading / Bottom-to-Bottom Leading (checked as set); catalog
rows in ja and zh-hant.

Illustrator sets a paragraph's direction (Left-to-Right / Right-to-Left
Paragraph Direction in the Paragraph panel, with the Middle Eastern
options) and keeps its alignment buttons physical; it has no automatic
alignment toggle. So:
- ParaStyle.direction (None: from each paragraph's first strong
character, as before; written only when set), the Paragraph panel's two
direction buttons with Show Indic Options (original icons), and
text.setFormat {direction: "auto"|"leftToRight"|"rightToLeft"}. The
layout uses it as the base direction.
- The Automatic alignment check box is gone. Justify::Auto stays as the
start of the paragraph's direction, set on new type only (text.create,
the Type tools, with the mojikumi default in one new_type_para()):
TextObject::point is Left again, so importers (PDF, SVG, DXF, EMF) keep
their own alignment. The alignment buttons show what Auto resolves to.
- Bidi only where there is something right to left: plain paragraphs skip
the algorithm (no per-layout allocation), it runs once per paragraph
(shaping takes the paragraph's levels instead of recomputing them; path
type computed it four times), and the shaper keeps Han, Hiragana,
Katakana and Bopomofo in one segment (splitting at every change of
script cost Japanese text a shaper call per kana-kanji switch).
- Vertical type keeps its logical order, so its glyphs and lines are not
marked right to left (the caret no longer runs backwards down a column).
- PDF import puts Hebrew and Arabic, which PDFs (and VectorCraft's own
export) draw in visual order, back in logical order with the direction
that shows it as drawn; with bidi layout it came back mirrored.
- SVG import pins the direction SVG implies (left to right unless
direction: rtl); SVG export also outlines right-to-left paragraphs.
- Docs (development.md), ROADMAP (folded into the Type entry, Type core
row) and README updated; catalog rows for the new labels.

artboard.move with copy and artboard.duplicate now make the copy with one helper: a
new id that can't overflow and a name of its own (`<name> copy`, then `<name> copy 2`…,
so two copies of one artboard no longer share a name). `moved` lists the copies a copy
moved rather than the originals it left. Test it with and without moveArt, and note
Alt-drag in the ROADMAP.

Japanese full-width punctuation is half a mark and half a space (an
opening bracket's space before it; a closing bracket's, comma's or full
stop's after it). Set solid, 」「 or 。」 show a full em of air between
the marks, and a line ending in 。 stops half an em short of the edge.
- `ParaStyle.mojikumi` (Paragraph panel › Mojikumi): None, or Line-end
Punctuation Half Width, which (JLREQ 3.1.4) lets consecutive
punctuation share one half-em space — a closing mark followed by
punctuation loses the space after it, an opening bracket after another
the space before it — and sets a closing mark ending a line half
width. Only full-width marks (advance an em) are touched, never inside
a tate-chu-yoko block; vertical type the same way down the column.
- New type (`text.create`, Area/Path Type) takes Line-end Punctuation
Half Width, the usual default of Japanese layout; documents from
before it and imported text keep None (written only when set, so
older files and older apps are unaffected). `text.setFormat
{mojikumi: "none"|"lineEndHalf"}`.
- Builds on #344: on justified lines the room it frees is spread
between the characters.
- Catalog rows in ja and zh-hant.

File > Document Setup is a tabbed dialog over one engine command,
document.setup (no params: a query; any keys: one undo step;
document.setUnits stays as the units alias).
- General: units, bleed (four sides with a link toggle), Edit Artboards,
Show Images in Outline Mode (greyscale pixels under the frame),
Highlight Substituted Fonts/Glyphs (pink boxes on screen only).
- Transparency: grid size and colour presets or custom colours, Simulate
Colored Paper, the flattener preset (built-in or saved) and Discard
White Overprint (Overprint Preview keeps white overprints visible).
- Type: language with its quotes, Use Typographer's Quotes for the Type
tool and Smart Punctuation, superscript/subscript size and position and
small caps size (Character panel position/smallCaps; changing the
setup restyles the text in the same undo step), text export (SVG text
as text or outlines by default).
- The canvas draws a red bleed outline and the grid in the document's
colours and cell size as one textured quad, also in rotated views; a
white Background Contents exports raster formats opaque.
Model: Document.setup (DocSetup, defaulted, skipped when default) and
CharStyle position/small_caps; old files load unchanged.
tests_transparencygrid's helper now finds the grid by its texture (the
grid is one textured mesh instead of per-cell rectangles).

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.
