Chris Nielsen's "Numbering Page Sections" (4:43): with page 3 selected,
the Pages panel menu's Numbering & Section Options opens InDesign's New
Section window: Start Section checked, Automatic Page Numbering chosen
and 1 offered in Start Page Numbering at, which stays editable. The window
here was titled Numbering & Section Options, Start Section was off and
the field showed the page's current number, greyed out.
- Opened on a page that doesn't start a section, the window is New
Section: Start Section on and 1 offered; on a section's first page it
is Numbering & Section Options, as before.
- Start Page Numbering at and Start Chapter Numbering at stay editable;
typing a number chooses that option.
- "New Section" translated.

Review follow-up.
- OK ran layout.section and then layout.chapterNumbering: two undo steps,
and a chapter start the second command refused (over 99 999) left the
section applied. `layout.numberingOptions {page, …section, chapter}`
checks both parts before the document changes and applies them in one
edit; the window's OK runs it. layout.section and
layout.chapterNumbering share its parsing.
- Enter or Escape with a Style menu open confirmed or closed the whole
dialog. Dialogs now leave both keys to an open popup (read before the
dialog draws, since egui closes a popup on Escape that frame).
- A start page of 4294967295 overflowed page_number (a panic in debug
builds, page 0 in release). Page numbers saturate; layout.section
refuses start numbers outside 1-99 999 (MAX_PAGE_NUMBER, as chapter
numbers) and Document Setup clamps its start page instead of wrapping
a 64-bit number into 32 bits.
Also rebased on main: the restructured ROADMAP keeps main's text, and the
inventory in docs/target-app-parity.md lists chapter numbering and the
window.

Layout > Numbering & Section Options now opens its own window instead of
the generated command form, on the section of the page in view: Start
Section (always on for page 1), Automatic Page Numbering or Start Page
Numbering at, and a Page Numbering group with Section Prefix, Style,
Section Marker and Include Prefix when Numbering Pages; then Document
Chapter Numbering with its style, Automatic Chapter Numbering, Start
Chapter Numbering at, Same as Previous Document in the Book (only in a
book) and the book's name. OK and Cancel sit beside the options, out of
the scrolling body.
OK runs layout.section and layout.chapterNumbering; a refused value
(a prefix over eight characters or with + or a comma, a start number
below 1) keeps the window open and changes nothing. Opening the window
reads the chapter numbering without running a command, so it doesn't
stop a Data Merge preview. New strings are translated (German, French,
Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, Italian).

Rebased on the progress-docs restructure: the ROADMAP bullet moved to the
inventory in docs/target-app-parity.md (Books), with a progress-log line.

A section prefix is at most eight characters and contains no plus or
comma (page references and ranges use them); `layout.section` refuses
others and leaves the section unchanged. Symbols, a footnote style,
no longer number pages. The parameter documentation lists the 01, 001
and 0001 styles, and a test pins the fields the generated dialogs read
from both numbering commands.

A document's chapter number now has a style (1, I, i, A, a, 01, 001,
0001) and a source, as in Numbering & Section Options > Document
Chapter Numbering: Automatic Chapter Numbering (one more than the
previous document in the book; 1 first), Start Chapter Numbering at,
or Same as Previous Document in the Book.
`layout.chapterNumbering {style?, start?, source?}` sets them (undoable)
and, with no parameters, reports them with the open book that holds the
document. The book's Update Numbering (`book.paginate`) resolves chapter
numbers in book order and reports them. Chapter Number variables and
cross-reference chapter numbers use the style.
