Add multi-click text selection, pending caret formatting and clipboard support, text-aware colour controls, guide/grid snapping, and frame threading with loaded-port interactions.
Include the layout, drop-cap and IDML updates carried from #83, with safeguards for generated and linked stories, external text references, local IDs, locked frames and atomic colour edits.
Fixes#23.

Merge current main into the text editing and layout work, retaining the original contributor commits. Preserve generated and linked stories, incoming text references, local IDs and locked frames when threading.
Keep pending formatting and text colours consistent, isolate deferred control clipboard input, and handle inherited IDML frame properties with bounded column allocations. Add focused state-preservation and round-trip regressions and correct the socket and swatch test fixtures.
M2; refs #84.
The Pages panel menu in Chris Cicchino's "Adobe InDesign – Page Tool
and Liquid Layout" (0:47) reads: Insert Pages…, Move Pages…, Duplicate
Spread, Duplicate Spread at End of Document, Delete Spread, … New
Parent…, Apply Parent to Pages…, Override All Parent Page Items, Parent
Pages ▸, Create Alternate Layout…, Numbering & Section Options…, Allow
Selected Spread to Shuffle. DesignCraft's menu (and the page thumbnails'
context menu) had Insert Page After, Delete Page, Duplicate Spread, Add
to Previous Spread, Allow Spread to Shuffle and the parent items in
another order.
- Pages panel menu and page context menu in InDesign's order and labels:
Insert Pages… and Move Pages… open their dialogs for the page; Delete
Spread for a spread of several pages; Parent Pages ▸ holds Remove All
Local Overrides and Detach All Objects from Parent; Create Alternate
Layout… and Numbering & Section Options… open theirs. Add to Previous
Spread stays last (InDesign drags pages into spreads instead).
- Translations (pt-BR gains the existing items it lacked).
Builds on #869 (Duplicate Spread at End of Document).

Chris Cicchino's "Adobe InDesign – Page Tool and Liquid Layout" (0:42,
2:06) holds Option and drags a page in the Pages panel to copy it,
drags a page onto the New Page button to duplicate it ("click and drag
onto my plus sign I can duplicate that"), and resizes pages; InDesign's
panel also has an Edit page size button. DesignCraft's panel only moved
pages on drag, had no Edit page size button, and duplicating a page gave
the copy the size of the page before it (not its own) without its
liquid rule or guides. A page of its own size also drew its thumbnail
at the document's scale, over the panel's footer.
- Pages panel: Alt-drag copies the page to where it's dropped; a page
dropped on Create new page is duplicated at the end of the document;
Edit page size lists the presets (in the page's orientation) and
Custom Page Size…; InDesign's tooltips (Create new page, Delete
selected pages).
- Thumbnails share one scale (the document's page size, smaller when a
taller page would pass 1.8 times the usual height); rows fit their
spread's tallest page.
- engine: layout.pages.duplicateSpread copies the pages' size, margins,
columns, guides and liquid rule, takes `atEnd`, and returns the copy's
first page.

Chris Cicchino's "Adobe InDesign – Page Tool and Liquid Layout" (11:00–
13:30) drags guides out of the rulers with the Page tool on a
guide-based page: "these guides are a little bit different... they are a
dashed line, a cyan dashed line" - liquid guides, which let the objects
they cross stretch with the page. DesignCraft drew liquid guides dashed
and applied them, but a guide could only become liquid through the
Liquid Layout panel's list: ruler drags always made ruler guides.
- canvas: with the Page tool, a page guide dragged from a ruler is a
liquid guide; its preview is dashed while it's dragged.
- engine: guide.add takes `liquid`.

Chris Cicchino's "Adobe InDesign – Page Tool and Liquid Layout" (2:47,
7:24) uses the Liquid Layout panel: "Liquid Page Rule:" with "Page: n",
Content › Auto-Fit, and Object Constraints › Resize with Page (Height,
Width) and Pin (Top, Left, Bottom, Right), greyed until an object on an
object-based page is selected. DesignCraft's panel had a "Page 1" label,
the rule, six wrapped checkboxes ("Resize width", "Pin top"…) only once
an object was selected, and a Create Alternate Layout form.
- Liquid Layout panel: InDesign's layout and labels; the page is the one
the Page tool selected (else the page in view); Auto-Fit (graphic
frames) runs object.fittingOptions; the constraints apply on
object-based pages (also through Controlled by Parent) and stay
greyed otherwise. The page's liquid guides stay listed below for now.
- Layout menu: Create Alternate Layout… (as in InDesign).
- Translations for the new labels.
Builds on #864 (rule list, Controlled by Parent) and #862.

Chris Cicchino's "Adobe InDesign – Page Tool and Liquid Layout" (6:32–
9:58) clicks an object with the Page tool on an object-based page and
gets InDesign's on-canvas liquid controls: a pin outside each edge
("Object is pinned relative to the page edge. Click to release.") and a
padlock on the width and height lines ("The object's width is locked.
Click to let the object change width as the page changes width."). The
pins and resize settings existed (liquid.object, the Liquid Layout
panel) but the canvas showed none of it.
- tools: on an object-based page a Page tool click selects the object
with its page (layout.selectPage takes `ids`); its pins (14 px outside
each edge's middle) and width/height locks (beside the centre) toggle
liquid.object on click, show InDesign's tooltips on hover and a hand
cursor.
- canvas: LiquidPins (orange dashed width/height lines with padlocks,
open when the object follows the page; hollow pins, or a line to the
page edge when pinned) and Tip overlays; tooltip translations.
Builds on the Page tool PR (#862).

Chris Cicchino's "Adobe InDesign – Page Tool and Liquid Layout" (1:02–
2:06, 13:47) sizes pages from the Control panel with the Page tool
selected: X/Y, W/H, the page-size preset ("US Business Card"),
orientation, Liquid Page Rule ("Controlled by Parent"), Objects Move with
Page and Show Parent Page Overlay. DesignCraft's Control panel showed the
(empty) object controls.
- ui: with the Page tool, the Control panel shows the selected page (or
the page in view): the reference point (W/H, preset and orientation
keep it in place via layout.pageSize's anchor), X/Y (read-only),
W/H, the preset dropdown, portrait/landscape, Liquid Page Rule, Objects
Move with Page (always on: pages don't move within spreads yet) and
Show Parent Page Overlay.
- doc: LiquidRule::ControlledByParent (the parent page's rule, Off
without one; resolved by liquid::effective_rule); Page.show_parent_overlay.
- engine: layout.pageOptions {pages, showParentOverlay}; liquid.pageRule
takes controlledByParent.
- canvas: the parent page's size over a page with the overlay on.
- Liquid Layout panel and Control panel share InDesign's rule list
(Off, Scale, Re-center, Object-based, Guide-based, Controlled by
Parent); "US Business Card" preset; translations.
Builds on the Page tool PR (#862) for the selected page.
