bflatastic d5a060a009 Path: Remove Anchor Points is Object › Path's one item and shares the Delete Anchor Point refit (review of #241)
- Parity: Object › Path › Remove Anchor Points now runs the new command (`path.removeAnchors`,
  the menu's feature name) instead of `path.deleteAnchors`, which deleted the anchors with their
  segments and opened closed paths; that stays the Delete key's command ("Delete Anchor Points",
  off the menu). No second "Smart" item.
- Geometry: the refit moves to `vectorcraft_pathops::remove_anchor` on the existing least-squares
  fitter (fixed end tangents, a golden-section search for where the curve passes the removed
  point) instead of a ~1,000-candidate grid search in geom (about 4 ms per anchor, now well under
  0.1 ms). Two straight sides stay one straight side (a rectangle loses a corner and becomes a
  triangle), as Illustrator does; non-finite input leaves the handles alone.
- The Delete Anchor Point tool (`path.removeAnchor`) uses the same function, replacing its
  heuristic handle stretch; the explicit id/anchor and `fit` params of the new command are dropped
  as duplicates of it. The command is enabled by direct-selected anchors (`has_anchors`), not a
  UI override.
- The Control bar shows an icon button (the Delete Anchor Point icon, tooltip "Remove Anchor
  Points") instead of a 204 pt text button; the labels reuse the translated "Remove Anchor
  Points"; zh-hant gains "Delete Anchor Points". The Pen test that pinned Alt-click as plain Pen
  (Illustrator's Alt over an anchor is Convert Anchor Point) is dropped.
- Tests for the refit, closed paths, straight sides and bad input; docs/mcp.md and ROADMAP.
