* Release: Flatpak x86_64/aarch64 bundles, AppImage zsync updates, README Downloads
- New `flatpak` matrix job (ubuntu-24.04 and ubuntu-24.04-arm) repackages each Linux tarball
into vectorcraft-<ver>-linux-<arch>.flatpak via packaging/linux/flatpak-bundle.sh and the
new ai.storyteller.vectorcraft.bundle.yml; packaging-lint keeps its runtime and finish-args
identical to the from-source Flathub manifest.
- AppImages embed gh-releases-zsync update information and ship a .zsync beside them; the
Linux job checks both.
- Jobs that sign nothing (version, linux, flatpak, freebsd, web) leave the `release`
environment, so a branch workflow_dispatch is a dry run; the draft-release job still needs
the signed macOS/Windows jobs.
- README: a Downloads section listing every build; docs/releasing.md updated.

* Release: read AppImage update info without extract-and-run
With APPIMAGE_EXTRACT_AND_RUN=1 the runtime forwards --appimage-updateinformation to the app,
which then tries to open a window and fails on the headless runner.

- packaging/macos/dmg/generate.py writes background.tiff and DS_Store on any OS (resvg with
the repo's fonts; ds_store and mac_alias, as dmgbuild uses). Both are byte-reproducible and
carry nothing from the machine that made them.
- DS_Store: same window, icon size, positions and background alias as before, without the
bookmark (pBBk/pBB0) and the alias's disk-image record, which held the author's boot volume
UUID and name, its creation date and temporary paths.
- background.tiff: the same pixels as before (checked), now opaque RGB with Deflate (1.8 MB to
1.0 MB) and LittleCMS's built-in sRGB profile instead of an HP profile with no open licence;
no file names or software tags.
- background.svg: drop an unused pattern and the xlink namespace (renders the same).
- ASSETS.md rows for the three files; README, docs/releasing.md (volume name) and ROADMAP.

The DMG opened as a plain Finder window. It now shows the app icon's figure on
the VectorCraft colour, with VectorCraft.app and the Applications link side by side.
- packaging/macos/dmg/: background (SVG source, 1x + 2x HiDPI TIFF) and the
Finder view settings (DS_Store: window, icon size 128, positions, background).
- package.sh copies them into the staging folder. The image is still built with
hdiutil makehybrid: no mounted device and no Finder scripting on CI.
- The volume name drops the version: .DS_Store finds the background through an
alias that includes the volume name. The DMG file name keeps the version.

The grip at the bar's left end now drags the bar anywhere on the canvas
(grab cursor), which always holds it whole, also when the window shrinks.
Unpinned, the bar keeps that offset as it follows the selection (in the
document it was moved in); the "…" button opens a More Options menu with
Hide Bar, Pin Bar Position (checked while pinned: the bar stays where it
is across selection changes and the handle still moves it; unpinned it
follows the selection again from there), Reset Bar Position (unpinned,
back under the selection) and Show Properties Panel, as in Illustrator.
As there, the position and the pin last for the session only.
- UI commands window.taskBar.pin {pinned?} and window.taskBar.reset, so
the control channel and MCP reach them; ui.inspect reports taskBar
{pinned, rect}.
- One opt_bool helper reads the {key?: bool} params of the toggling window
commands (toolbarColumns, floatTools, collapseDock, taskBar.pin).
- New strings in ja, es, zh-hans, zh-hant, pt-br and cs; the dropped
"Hide Contextual Task Bar" tooltip and per-key es messages removed.
- Headless egui test: dragging the grip moves the bar, the offset follows
the selection, pin holds it across selection changes and a shrinking
window, unpin follows from there, reset restores.

- A press inside a dialog the popped-out panel opened (Swatch Options from its
menu, say), or on a modal dialog's backdrop, put the panel away under the
dialog. The press now counts as away only when it lands on no foreground
layer (the flyout itself, dialogs, palettes) and not on the modal backdrop
(`dialogs::modal::backdrop`), as the popovers decide a click elsewhere.
- A press in the expanded dock's panel group left the flyout open: only the
icon column is spared now (its icons swap or close the flyout themselves),
so a click in another docked panel puts it away, as a click anywhere else in
the workspace does in the reference app.
- The test covers a click in a dialog, on its backdrop and in the docked group.

Preferences › User Interface › Auto-Collapse Iconic Panels was stored
and never read: a panel popped out of the icon column stayed until its
» or its icon. On, a press away from the flyout now puts it away. A
press on the icon column is left to the icons (they swap or close the
flyout on release, so acting on the press would reopen the one being
closed), and a press in a popup the flyout opened (a panel menu, a
dropdown) keeps it. Off by default, as in Illustrator.

The option tells points from picas, where a bare `12` could be either: the
reference app dims it unless a unit is Picas, and it starts on. A number typed
with no unit into a field in picas is now read in points with it on (the
default again, as before #486), and in picas with it off; fields in any other
unit read it in their unit either way, as there. The Preferences dialog dims
the checkbox unless one of the Units is Picas.
The fields learn the preference when it changes, through
`prefs_dialog::apply_runtime` as Scrub Numeric Fields does, rather than from a
write into the egui context every frame. Tests for picas and other fields, the
wiring and the dimming; docs/mcp.md and ROADMAP say so.

Preferences › Units › Numbers Without Units Are Points was stored and
never read. On, a number typed with no unit into any length field
(`num_field`, `opt_field`, and so the spin fields built on them) is read
in points whatever the field's unit; a typed unit (`12 mm`, `1in`)
still wins, and the field keeps showing its value in its own unit. The
app sets the frame's rule from the preference in `logic`, the fields
read it through the egui context (`widgets::typed_unit`), so none of
the 45 callers change.
The default flips from true to false, which is Illustrator's default
and the behaviour the fields had while the option was unread.

Preferences › General › Show The Home Screen When No Documents Are Open
was stored and never read: the Home screen always replaced the canvas
while no document was open. Off, the window is now empty while no
document is open (as when Illustrator's option is off), and the Home
button (`app.home`) still shows the screen; closing the last document
returns to the empty window. `menus::home_showing` is the one place
that decides, for the canvas and the Home button's lit state.

The wheel did nothing over numeric fields. As in Illustrator, once a numeric
field has the focus, turning the wheel over it steps its value like Up/Down:
a notch a step, Shift ten, Ctrl/Cmd a tenth, applied at once with the new value
selected.
- widgets::step_value (was step_with_arrows) reads the arrows and the wheel
through one path for num_field, plain/mixed fields and the spin fields built
on them (panels, the Control bar, dialogs, the Font Size and Leading combo
boxes), and now opt_field (Stroke dash/gap) too. Trackpad and fine-wheel
points add up to notches; the rest carries to the next turn.
- While the pointer is over the focused field the panel under it doesn't
scroll; an unfocused field, or the pointer anywhere else, leaves the wheel to
the panel and the canvas as before.
- The dialogs' and preferences' egui drag values become the same recessed
number fields (widgets::range_field: clamped to their range, rounded to their
precision), so they type, step and scroll like every other numeric field.
- Headless tests for the wheel (units, modifiers, points, focus and pointer),
and for the panel scrolling or not; docs/control-protocol.md and ROADMAP.

A Shift-drag marquee only ever added to the selection, so there was no way to
take some of the selected objects out with it. As in Illustrator, Shift-drag
now toggles what the marquee reaches: the selected ones are deselected, the
others selected, the rest of the selection stays.
- Selection tool: the Shift marquee runs select.toggle, which now also takes
{ids} (each one toggles).
- Direct Selection and Group Selection: the Shift marquee toggles the anchors
inside it (select.anchorsMany mode "toggle"); a path left with none leaves
the selection, one with all of them is selected whole again.
- select.anchorsMany takes mode "set"|"add"|"toggle"|"subtract" (add: true is
still mode add). Adding anchors of a path selected whole keeps it whole, and
anchor references outside the path are ignored.
- Lasso: Shift adds and Alt subtracts through the same command, so an Alt lasso
no longer drops selected type, groups and other non-path objects.
- Tests at the tool, engine (Session::pointer) and MCP (pointer_gesture) levels,
command sweep cases for the new modes; docs/mcp.md and ROADMAP.

Bounding-box resizes with the Selection and Free Transform tools already lined
their edges up with the other objects (#355, after v0.4.0), but a handle never
landed on another object's anchor point, nothing was labelled, and the Rotate,
Scale, Shear and Reflect tools didn't snap their drags at all.
- Targets::snap_scale: the dragged corner (free, or along its diagonal with
Shift) or side lands on the nearest anchor or centre within the snapping
tolerance, labelled "anchor"/"center"; alignment snaps keep their line and
now say "align", as an artboard's resize handle does. Alt (from the centre)
and rotated boxes work the same way.
- The transform tools start a drag from the anchor or centre they grabbed (the
point a click would set) and snap the pointer as drawing tools do (Smart
Guides, the grid, pixels or Snap to Point), so a corner dragged onto another
object's anchor scales exactly onto it.
- Factor the nearest anchor/centre lookup (Targets::nearest_point) and the
transform tools' drag teardown (end_drag).

Pens on KDE Plasma 6.3+ under Wayland don't reach the app: winit 0.30 binds no
Wayland tablet protocol (zwp_tablet_v2), and since Plasma 6.3 KWin no longer
emulates pointer input for such clients (kwin!6336), so the pen moves KWin's own
cursor while the window gets no motion or presses. The fix is upstream (winit
0.31's tablet input, winit#4318, once eframe moves to it). docs/development.md
and the README give the workarounds: run under XWayland (WAYLAND_DISPLAY=), or
set KWIN_WAYLAND_EMULATE_TABLET=1 for the session.
On our side, a pen or finger (winit Touch, emulated as a mouse by egui-winit)
lifts with an egui PointerGone in the same frame. A tap whose press and lift
arrived in one frame had no hover position, so the canvas ignored it, and a
drag ending without a pointer position ended at the canvas's centre. The press
and double-tap now fall back to the interact position, and the release to the
last position seen during the drag. Headless frame tests replay the events a
pen produces: a stroke with pressure reaching Use Pressure Pen, and a one-frame
tap that selects without moving (fails without the fix).
ROADMAP: Last updated, the Platforms row, the hardening gap and the graphics
processor/input bullet (pen pressure reaches the tools on Windows only).

The pixel grid draws through the document grid's `grid()`, which assumed an
unrotated view: with Rotate View its lines stayed upright on screen, in the
wrong places, or vanished. It now spans the box round the canvas's corners in
document space and draws each line through the view, so the pixel grid and
the document grid (lines and dots) turn with the art. The lines are iterated
rather than collected, capped, and computed by multiplication instead of
accumulating a step.

Preferences › Guides & Grid › Show Pixel Grid (Above 600% Zoom) was stored and
never read. On (the default), in View › Pixel Preview at 600% zoom and above the
canvas draws a translucent line at every document pixel over the art, so the
pixels the art rasterizes to can be seen; nothing below 600%, out of Pixel
Preview, or with the option off. Drawn by the same `grid()` as the document
grid, at a 1 pt spacing.
A headless frame test counts the pixel grid's lines at 800%, 500% and 600%, in
and out of Pixel Preview and with the option off, and checks they are drawn
over the art.

Preferences › General › Anti-aliased Artwork was stored and never read. Off, the
canvas renders the art with `AntiAlias::None` — a pixel is painted when the art
covers at least half of it, raster effects and pattern tiles staying smooth — and
on (the default) with `AntiAlias::Art`, as before. The preference is part of the
canvas's cache key, so changing it re-renders. Exports keep their own
Anti-aliasing option.
A headless frame test reads the art's raster back out of the frame's texture
upload: edge pixels partly covered with the option on, none off, and smooth
again once it is back on.

- Type is picked on the baseline of any of its lines (point type and area
type, besides area type's frame), as in Illustrator, not only the first
one: the layout's baselines are cached with its bounds
(`TextObject::cached_baselines`, from `TextLayout::baselines`), with the
first one across the bounds as the fallback. Vertical type's runs down
each column's centre line.
- Type in perspective is picked where it is drawn (through its projection).
- The bounds rule type out before its path is built, so hovering stays
free of allocations away from type.
- The Type tools still edit type clicked among its characters (they made
new type there with the preference on), and the Eyedropper still samples
it there, as it does inside fills with Object Selection by Path Only.
- Tests for all of it; docs/mcp.md and ROADMAP say so.

Preferences › Type › Type Object Selection by Path Only was stored and never read.
On, the Selection tools pick type on its type path only — point type's baseline
(the line the selection marks under it, across its layout's width), area type's
frame, type on a path's path — within the selection tolerance; a click among the
glyphs or inside the frame selects nothing. Off (the default), anywhere in the
type's bounds selects it, as before.
`HitOptions` gains `type_path_only`, set by the tools' context (`hit_options()`)
and the canvas's `hit_at` from the preference, so the Selection tools, Cmd-click
behind, object highlighting and the context menu agree. Tests at the hit-test
level (point, area and on-path type) and through the Selection tool with
`prefs.set`.

egui reports a modifier's own key press (ShiftLeft, ControlLeft…) as a key event, and the
recorder took the first key press it saw, so pressing Shift+A saved `ShiftLeft` as the chord: a
shortcut that can never fire. The recorder now skips modifier key presses, so the chord completes
on the first other key with the modifiers held (Esc still cancels). A modifier is never a chord's
key in the shortcut parser either, so `shortcuts.set` refuses one, and overrides saved that way by
older versions are dropped on start, giving the default back.

Stock EPS files saved in the Illustrator 8 format failed with "typecheck in `a
dictionary`": its gradient procset builds shading dictionaries with `bd` …
`ed`, where `ed` is `(>>) cvx` (or a Level 1 dictionary builder as a
string), and `cvx` left a string literal, so `shfill` got a string. Its
`discard` procedure also `load`s procedures by integer keys, which `load`
refused.
- Executable strings: `cvx` makes a string executable (`xcheck` true,
`cvlit` back, still a `stringtype` for `length`/`get`/`forall`/
`getinterval`); run by name or met in a procedure, it runs its text as a
program, every time (an executable file shares the same runner).
- `load` takes any key (integers, booleans), as `where` already did.
- Test: an Illustrator 8-style gradient procset with both `ed` forms and
`discard`; the import fuzz vocabulary has executable strings and integer
keys. An Illustrator 2026 file saved in the Illustrator 8 format (made
here, not committed) now opens as vectors with its radial gradient.

Discord feedback: "EPS files are always rasterized: they open as bitmaps, in
other programs as vectors". Every EPS saved by Illustrator 2026 fell back to
its TIFF preview (`gcheck` was unknown), and cairo/Inkscape files stopped at
their first image (`status`), dropped masked images (ImageType 3) and failed
on mesh gradients; the warning didn't say where the program failed.
Fallback never silent:
- The warning names the PostScript error, the operator that raised it and
the named procedures it ran in, innermost first ("a PostScript error
(typecheck in `add`), in `inner` in `outer`"); errors caught by `stopped`
aren't reported. It reaches the status bar, document.open, app.open and
file.open (which now return document.open's result, so MCP's open_file over
the control channel gets it), and `vectorcraft-cli info` ("warnings").
- A file whose PostScript can't be read opens as its TIFF preview, else its
Windows metafile preview (as vectors, scaled to the bounding box), else its
EPSI bitmap. es @msg rows for the new messages.
Interpreter:
- Operators programs probe or use: gcheck/scheck, rootfont,
currentcolorrendering, currenthsbcolor, status, token, read,
bytesavailable, fileposition/setfileposition, resetfile, write*, pdfmark
(marks dropped, as Ghostscript does), execform, nulldevice, strokepath,
pathforall, user paths (ufill/ueofill/ustroke/uappend/upath/setbbox, the
encoded form too), setcachedevice2, findcolorrendering, cache, device and
VM queries, revision; (%stdout) (w) file gives a sink.
- `//name` is replaced by its value when read, inside procedures too.
- Tiling patterns become pattern swatches (their PaintProc drawn in pattern
space, one cell; uncoloured ones in the colour under them; makepattern
copies share one swatch); nested patterns stop at 8 levels.
- Type 3 fonts draw their glyphs (BuildGlyph/BuildChar, widths from
setcachedevice/setcharwidth) as outlines grouped per string, spaced by
ashow/widthshow/awidthshow/xshow/yshow/xyshow/kshow; glyphshow and
stringwidth/cshow use them.
- Shadings of types 1 and 4-7 become gradient meshes (data from arrays,
strings or files, packed or not, flags sharing edges), as fills through a
shading pattern too; sampled functions (type 0) are evaluated;
GradientMesh::coons/triangle are shared with PDF import.
- ImageType 3 masked images, interleaved by sample, by row or in separate
sources; ReusableStreamDecode reads its data when made; Flate/LZW PNG and
TIFF predictors.
- Bounded: DeviceN at 32 inks, sampled functions at 2^24 samples and 32
outputs, 4096 patches a shading, strokepath ignores dashes finer than 1e5
pieces, Type 3 glyphs nest 8 deep (a glyph that shows itself overflowed the
stack before the limit), 64-bit index maths for 32-bit targets.
Tests: a synthetic program per generator (cairo/Inkscape, its Type 3 fonts,
matplotlib, CorelDRAW, Affinity, LibreOffice, Ghostscript eps2write,
Illustrator procsets), meshes and function shadings, masked images, fault
messages, probing operators, metafile/EPSI previews, `//name`, user paths,
hostile patterns/glyphs/shadings (run against main, 12 of the 14 generator
and feature tests fail; CorelDRAW- and LibreOffice-style programs already
read there). The import fuzz vocabulary covers the new operators. Checked
against real files made here with Inkscape 1.4 (cairo) and Illustrator 2026
(its own format and the CS-to-CC compatibility formats; all fell back or
stopped early on main and open as vectors now; its Illustrator 8 format
needs the next commit); those files aren't committed.

The two tools had hand-drawn nibs that didn't match the Pen tool's icon and read as distorted
next to it. They now use Lucide's pen-tool (the Pen tool's own icon) with a plus or minus badge,
so the Pen group reads as one family; the Remove Anchor Points buttons pick up the minus one.

Presentation Mode hides the menus and panels, had no Escape and was saved with the
preferences, so it came back on every restart with no way out. Escape now leaves it (as in
Illustrator), F from it goes back to Normal Screen Mode, and the screen mode is no longer
saved: the app always starts in Normal Screen Mode, and preferences saved in Presentation
Mode by older versions open normally. ui.inspect reports `screenMode` on its own.
Desktop file drags carry no pointer position or modifiers (winit 0.30 on Windows, macOS
and X11), so every drop on a window with a document open was taken for the middle of the
canvas and placed. Where the platform doesn't say, a dropped document (native, SVG, PDF,
.ai, EPS, DXF, EMF/WMF) now opens as a tab of its own and a picture or text is placed in
the middle of the view; pictures dropped together with documents are placed first, so the
last document opened is shown. The web, whose drag events give the position, keeps
Illustrator's choice: placed on the canvas, opened off it (the tab bar).
Illustrator's PDF-compatible part leaves out art outside the artboards (it lives in the
private data alone, which isn't read), so it can't open; importing a file with that
private data now says so in a note. Off-page art a PDF does draw already opens on the
pasteboard; a test keeps it so.

- 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.

- New type (the Type tools, `text.create`, area type and type on a path) takes Standard
burasagari, Illustrator's default (observed in its Paragraph panel menu). Documents from before
it and imported text keep None.
- Only a paragraph with a Japanese comma or full stop is composed line by line, so Latin text keeps
the every-line composer with the new default (tested).

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.

Discord feedback: Alt with the Pen didn't move a direction handle on its own, and there was no
way to break a path at an anchor and pull the ends apart.
- Pen: Alt held over a handle end or an anchor of a selected path (the one being drawn too) hands
the gesture to the Anchor Point tool, with the convert cursor: dragging a handle moves it alone,
clicking a smooth anchor makes it a corner, dragging an anchor pulls out symmetric handles.
Drawing goes on afterwards. Handles hidden by a partial anchor selection aren't grabbed.
- path.cutAtAnchors cuts at the direct-selected anchors in one undo step: a closed path opens
there, an open one becomes one path per piece, and one anchor of each cut stays selected so a
drag pulls the path apart. It answers {ids} and refuses (no undo step) when only open ends are
selected. path.convertAnchors checks `to`, skips stale anchor refs instead of indexing past
them, and keeps a smooth anchor's handles when converting to smooth.
- SubPath::cut_at and SubPath::smooth_anchor (geom) now back path.split, path.cutAtAnchors,
path.convertAnchor and path.convertAnchors, replacing three copies of that logic.
- Control bar and Properties panel: "Convert:" corner/smooth and "Anchors:" remove, connect
(Join), cut buttons when anchors are selected; Cut Path on the task bar and the context menu.

Discord feedback: Image Trace and the other image options were hidden when an image was
selected; copy, paste, Image Trace should work from the Control bar as in Illustrator.
- Control bar, one image selected: Linked File/Embedded, file name, colour mode and PPI, then
Embed (+ Edit Original) or Unembed…, an Image Trace split button (click: Default preset;
arrow: trace with any preset), Mask and Crop Image, in place of Fill and Stroke.
- Control bar, one Image Trace object selected: "Image Tracing", its Preset (choosing another
traces it again), the Image Trace panel and Expand.
- Properties panel: Image Trace (split), Crop Image and Mask in Quick Actions for an image; an
Image Trace section (Preset, Expand, Release) for an Image Trace object. Embed/Unembed buttons
are shared with the Control bar (place::link_buttons).
- New engine command object.maskImage ("Mask"): clips the selected image with a clipping path
on its outline (rotated with it) and selects that path so its handles crop; one undo step.
- widgets::split_button (flat button with a menu arrow).
- Translations for the new strings (es, ja, zh-hans, zh-hant; "Mask" also pt-br, cs).
