| 2026-11-11 | minor | M3, #2022: an instance lists only the properties its variant's layers use (its variant properties, slots, and the boolean, text and instance swap properties a layer of its current variant reads), as measured in Figma's web app: an instance of variant A lists `State` and `A label`, never `B label` or a property no layer reads. The set and its variants still list every definition, so unused ones can be deleted there. A long property name in the panel is cut to one line with an ellipsis, the full name on hover, instead of wrapping over the rows around it. Tests: `prop_order_tests::an_instance_lists_only_the_properties_its_variant_uses`, `component_props_reorder_tests::a_long_property_name_stays_on_one_line`, `prop_value_tests::a_set_keeps_each_named_text_definition_and_layers_read_their_own`. Grade unchanged. |
