* Data: Analysis ToolPak two-factor Anova (with and without replication) and z-Test
Builds on the ToolPak of #320. data.analysisToolPak gains three tools:
Anova: Two-Factor Without Replication (rows and columns as factors, the
residual as the error term), Anova: Two-Factor With Replication (samples of
rowsPerSample rows, with the interaction and within-cell terms) and z-Test:
Two Sample for Means (known variances, normal tails and critical values from
NORM.S.DIST and NORM.S.INV). Each has a form in the Data Analysis dialog.
Tests check the reports against Montgomery's hardness-testing and
battery-life examples.
* Data: Analysis ToolPak Fourier Analysis
data.analysisToolPak gains Fourier Analysis: the discrete Fourier transform
or its inverse of one row or column of 2^k values (at most 4096), by an
iterative radix-2 FFT. Input cells are read as IMREAL and IMAGINARY read
them, so complex text such as 3+4i works, and the results are written as
COMPLEX text. Tests check known transforms (1, 2, 3, 4; a sampled cosine),
the inverse round trip and the input limits.
* Data: Analysis ToolPak Random Number Generation and Sampling
data.analysisToolPak gains the last two of Excel's 19 tools. Random Number
Generation draws uniform, normal, Bernoulli, binomial, Poisson and discrete
numbers, or writes a patterned sequence, in one or more columns; binomial and
Poisson draws invert tables built from BINOM.DIST and POISSON.DIST. Sampling
takes every period-th value or a random sample with replacement. Both use a
seeded xoshiro256** generator: the same seed repeats the numbers, and a run
without one reports the seed it chose. Output is capped at 1,000,000 numbers.
* Data: Analysis ToolPak two-factor Anova without replication: Labels caption names the first column
With Labels ticked, Anova: Two-Factor Without Replication takes the column
names from the first row and the row names from the first cell of every data
row. The form's caption read "Labels in first row", so a user with column
headers but no row names who ticked it would lose the first data column. The
caption now reads "Labels in first row and first column", and the command's
params doc says the same. A dialog test checks the caption.
* Data: Analysis ToolPak docs: timestamp lines and revision history for the 19 tools
docs/gaps.md (§13) and docs/target-app-parity.md (what-if and analysis) gain
their Last updated line and a revision-history row for the Analysis ToolPak
reaching all 19 of Excel's tools.
* Data: Analysis ToolPak new tools refuse options that are not numbers
Random Number Generation (from, to, mean, standardDeviation, p, lambda, step,
and the whole-number options) and z-Test (hypothesizedDifference) read their
options with a default for anything that did not parse, so a form value typed
as "0,3" or a typo quietly ran with the default. A blank or absent option
still takes the default; any other value that is not a finite number is now
an error naming the option.
* Data: Analysis ToolPak refuses an Alpha that is not a number
alpha() took any value that did not parse as the default 0.05, so a typed
"0,01" ran z-Test, both two-factor Anovas (and the existing t-tests, F-Test
and single-factor Anova, which share it) at the wrong significance level
without a word. A blank or absent Alpha still means 0.05; any other value that
is not a finite number is now an error.
* Data: Analysis ToolPak Random Number Generation form hides the count for a patterned sequence
A patterned sequence takes its length from From, To, step and the two repeat
counts and ignores Number of Random Numbers, so a count typed there did
nothing. The form shows the count only for the random distributions, and the
patterned options carry a note that the repeats set how many values are
written.
* Data: Analysis ToolPak Random Seed caption says a blank seed draws a new sequence
Random Number Generation and random Sampling labelled the seed "blank for
none", but a blank seed makes the engine choose a new one, so each run draws
different numbers. The caption now reads "blank for a new sequence".
* Data: Analysis ToolPak form scrolls its options in a short window
The Data Analysis window cannot be resized, and the patterned Random Number
Generation form (seven distribution choices and five pattern fields, each
label above its box) is taller than a 600-point window, so OK ended below the
window's edge. The tool's options now sit in a vertical scroll area capped to
the window's height less the title, output options and buttons, which always
stay in view.
* Data: Analysis ToolPak docs: Forecast Sheet is no longer listed as missing
docs/target-app-parity.md's what-if and analysis row still listed Forecast
Sheet as missing, while data.forecastSheet is in the catalog and docs/gaps.md
§13 lists it as present. The row now lists it with the other analysis tools,
and today's revision-history row says so.
* Data: Analysis ToolPak seed applies only where numbers are drawn
A patterned sequence and periodic sampling draw nothing, but the form showed
the Random Seed field for both, and Random Number Generation read the seed for
every distribution: a seed left in the form that was not a whole number
refused a patterned run, and a valid one was reported as the seed used. The
seed field now shows only for the random distributions and random sampling,
and a patterned run neither reads nor reports a seed.
* Data: Analysis ToolPak Fourier Analysis keeps small parts beside large ones
The cleanup after the transform zeroed every part at or below 1e-13 of the
largest output, so a one-value input such as 1e14 + 1i lost its imaginary
part although a transform of one value performs no arithmetic, and a small
harmonic beside a large DC term was lost the same way. The cutoff is now the
rounding bound of the transform itself, 8 · ε · log2(N) · Σ(|re_n| + |im_n|),
divided by N for the inverse (whose outputs are divided by N): it depends on
the input and the number of butterfly stages, never on the largest output,
and is zero for N = 1. An input sum that overflows disables the cleanup
instead of zeroing everything. Two regression tests cover the one-value case
and an eight-point round trip of 1e6 + 1e-7 cos(2πn/8).
* Data: Analysis ToolPak binomial and Poisson tables grow with the distribution, not the trials
Random Number Generation tabulated a binomial or Poisson distribution by
evaluating BINOM.DIST or POISSON.DIST through worksheet-function dispatch
for every outcome from 0 upward, so a million trials with p = 1 meant
1,000,001 calls and a table of as many entries. The table is now built from
one value at the mode and the recurrence pmf(k + 1) = pmf(k) · (n − k)/(k + 1)
· p/(1 − p) (λ/(k + 1) for Poisson), outward in both directions: the left
tail ends where its terms vanish, the right tail once the cumulative
probability reaches 1 within f64 resolution, so the table is as wide as the
outcomes that matter (about 23,000 entries for Binomial(1,000,000, 0.5)).
p = 0 and p = 1 are exact cases with one outcome. The trials limit and the
draws are unchanged. Tests check the recurrence against BINOM.DIST and
POISSON.DIST to 1e-12 relative, the table width at a million trials, and
that the largest inputs complete in milliseconds with the right means.

New query command formulas.traceError and a Trace Error item in the
Error Checking menu, between Error Checking… and Circular References.
From the cell it follows the first reference that shows the same error
(in a range, its first cell showing it) to the cell the error starts in,
as measured in Excel, and returns that source and the arrows: links
between the error cells, and arrows from the source's own references.
The walk visits each cell once and stops after 10,000 links.
The grid's trace now holds arrows with the sheets of both ends, built
once from the command's result. Error links are drawn in a new red sheet
token, the other arrows in a token for the blue they had. "Trace Error"
is translated in all 18 catalogs (German: Spur zum Fehler).

A sheet more than one page wide and tall always printed down, then
over. PrintSettings gains the page order (serde default Down, then
over), pageLayout.pageSetup takes pageOrder, and the pagination numbers
the pages in it, so printing, PDF export, the print preview, Page Break
Preview, Page Layout view and the &P/&N, first-page and odd/even
headers follow the printed sequence. XLSX reads <pageSetup pageOrder>
and writes pageOrder="overThenDown" only, as Excel does.
The Page Setup dialog gets a Page order choice with a small picture of
the order and runs pageLayout.pageSetup, so the order and the margins
are one undo step; the labels are translated where the dialog is, and
the dialog is now in German too.

`Workbook::next_object_id` returned one more than the largest id in use,
saturating at `u32::MAX`. A workbook read from a file can carry an object
with that id; every later insert (a chart, picture, shape, table or
slicer) then got `u32::MAX` again, and so did each object of a copied
sheet, whose ids also came from a saturating counter. Lookups and
selection take the first object with an id, and `object.delete` removes
every one.
`Workbook::free_object_ids(count)` now returns distinct unused ids: those
above the largest in use while they last, then the lowest free ones from
1. `next_object_id` takes the first of them, and the sheet copy takes one
per copied object (and refuses if the id space were ever exhausted). The
model test that recorded the saturation now checks the free ids instead,
and a new one covers a file that used the largest ids: the free ids come
from below, 100,000 of them distinct and in order.
Test: object_ids_stay_unique_when_a_file_used_the_largest_id gives a
shape id u32::MAX, inserts two shapes and copies the sheet; every shape id
is distinct across both sheets. It fails without the fix (both new shapes
get 4294967295).
A picture anchored to move and size with cells and spanning two rows
(or columns) was re-fitted between its top-left and bottom-right lines
after a sort. When the sort put the bottom line above the top one, the
fitted extent was negative and the picture collapsed to a zero height
or width. It now keeps its old size on that axis and travels with its
top-left line, like a "move only" picture.
Tests: for a sort by rows and one by columns, "move and size" and
"move only" pictures inside one line travel with it (the first
re-fitted to the same line, the second at its own size), an absolute
picture stays while the cells move under it, a two-line picture whose
lines swap keeps its size, and undo restores every anchor.

* Data: Solver Load/Save Model and Reset All
data.solverSaveModel writes a model (the sheet's saved model, or one
given as data.solver params) down a column of its sheet as formulas:
the objective and goal (=MAX(...), =MIN(...) or =cell=value), the
variable cells (=COUNT(...)), one =AND(relation) per constraint, which
shows TRUE while the constraint holds, and the method and its options
as an array constant. It refuses a range that overlaps the model's
cells or runs off the sheet.
data.solverLoadModel reads such a range (or reads down from its first
cell), checks the model and makes it the active sheet's model.
data.solverReset (Reset All) removes the active sheet's model. Each is
one undo step.
The Solver Parameters dialog has Reset All and Load/Save buttons; the
dialog can also be opened with fields that go over the saved model.
* Data: Solver Reset All also clears a model read from workbook-level names
A sheet's Solver model can come from workbook-level names, which every
sheet without a model of its own reads. Reset All removed only the
sheet-level names, so such a model stayed and the dialog showed it
again.
Removing the workbook-level names would change every other sheet that
reads them. Reset All instead leaves them in place and writes an empty
sheet-level solver_opt over them on the active sheet only; the result
says masked: true. saved_model now reads a sheet's own names when the
sheet has a solver_opt, and the workbook-level names only otherwise,
never a mix of both, and treats an empty solver_opt as no model. The
mask survives XLSX and is replaced when a model is saved on the sheet.
* Data: Solver Save Model clears the rest of a longer model saved at the same cell
Saving a model over a longer one saved at the same cell left the old
model's last rows on the sheet, so Load Model from that cell read the new
options row followed by stale constraint rows and refused the range.
Save Model now clears what is left of a model saved there before (only
when those cells hold a complete model written by Save Model, and never
the new model's own cells), keeping the cells' formatting, in the same
undo step. Load Model reading down from one cell also stops at the
options row, so formulas just below a saved model no longer break it.
* Data: Solver Load Model keeps the Evolutionary convergence and generations
Save Model writes Convergence and the generations without improvement in
its options row and Load Model reads them, but the sheet's saved model
(hidden names) did not hold them, so after Load Model, or any solve,
they fell back to their defaults. The saved model now keeps them for the
Evolutionary method: Convergence as solver_cvg, which means the same in
Excel, and the generations as gridcraft_solver_stall, because Excel's
solver_mni is a time in seconds. Saving a model again and Reset All
remove the GridCraft name with the solver_* names.
* Data: Solver Load Model refuses a range with a gap
Load Model from a range of several cells kept only the cells that hold a
formula, so the rows below a cell without one moved up. A constraint cell
overwritten by a constant gave a model without that constraint, and an
empty cell before the options row gave the default options, both without
an error. Load Model now refuses a range in which a cell before the last
formula holds no formula, and names that cell. Empty cells after the
model are still allowed.
* Data: Solver removes only its own names when it saves or resets a model
Saving a model (by a solve or Load Model) and Reset All removed every
name of the sheet that starts with solver_, so a user's own name such as
solver_budget was deleted with the model. They now remove only the
Solver's names: the ones Excel's Solver writes (solver_opt, solver_adj,
solver_lhs1, solver_rel1, solver_rhs1 and so on) and GridCraft's own.
The names are matched by name rather than by the hidden flag, so a model
whose names lost that flag is still replaced in full.
* Data: Solver Save Model refuses a place where the options cannot spill
The options row that Save Model writes is an array constant of eight
values, which spills into the seven cells to the right of its first
cell. Content in any of those cells blocked the spill and the options
cell showed #SPILL!. Save Model now checks the whole spill range before
it writes anything and refuses, naming the cell, when a cell there holds
content or another formula's spilled values or is a cell of the model,
when merged cells or a table meet the row (a dynamic array cannot spill
into a table), or when the range runs past the last column. It also
refuses a place where the model's column would cover another formula's
spilled values, which that formula would lose to #SPILL!. The options of
a model saved at the same cell before may be replaced, as before.
* Data: Solver Reset All and Load Model drop the old model's options
Reset All cleared the model fields of the Solver Parameters form but
kept the Evolutionary options (Convergence, Mutation Rate, Population
Size, Random Seed, generations without improvement and Require Bounds),
and Load Model kept any of them that the loaded model omits, such as all
of them for a GRG Nonlinear or Simplex LP model. A new Evolutionary model
then solved with the old options, for example with Require Bounds off.
Both now remove the model's options from the form first (one list of
their keys), so an option the model doesn't set takes its default.
* Data: Solver Save Model asks before it replaces data
Save Model wrote its formulas over whatever the model range held.
It is now refused, with the sheet unchanged, when a cell of the
range holds a value or a formula (a model saved there before
included), unless `overwrite: true` is passed. The message names
the first such cell and carries the same "already holds data"
phrase as Data Analysis, so the Solver Parameters dialog asks
"Replace it with the model?" with Replace and Don't Replace. The
question belongs to the range it asked about: editing the range,
Load or Reset All drops it. The check runs after the spill checks,
so the question is asked only when replacing would succeed. A save
remains one undo step.
Tests: the engine test refuses a value, a formula and an earlier
model, accepts only a true boolean, and undoes and redoes the
replacing save in one step; the dialog test covers Don't Replace,
an edited range and Replace. Both fail without the change.
* Data: Solver Load Model and Reset All tests for limits and undo
Tests for behaviour already in place: reading down from one cell of
a column of 5,000 formulas stops after the most rows a model takes,
a range larger than a model is refused before any cell is read, and
malformed or hostile cells and ranges (unbalanced brackets, an
overflowing number, an unknown sheet, 10,000 nested brackets, a
non-text `from`) each give an error and leave no model. Undoing
Reset All brings the model back with its options (the population
size).
* Data: Solver Load Model refuses a model without its options row
Load Model from one cell read down to the first cell without a
formula, and a range dropped its trailing cells without formulas.
A constraint cleared in the middle of a saved model, or its options
row cleared or replaced by a constant, therefore left a prefix of
the model, which was loaded as the whole model with default options
and replaced the sheet's model. Every load now requires the model's
last row to be the options row ({...}) that Save Model writes last;
otherwise it is refused, naming the cell without a formula when
reading down from one cell, and the sheet's model stays as it was.
The test clears a middle constraint, clears the options row and
replaces it by a constant, loads from the first cell and as two
ranges, and checks after each refusal that the old model (three
constraints, Simplex LP) is unchanged. It fails without the change.
* Data: Solver Options
The Solver Parameters dialog's Options button shows the Solver Options
in the same window: Max Evaluations and Integer Optimality for all
methods, and Convergence, Mutation Rate, Population Size, Random Seed,
Maximum Generations without Improvement and Require Bounds on Variables
for Evolutionary. OK keeps the changes for the next solve; Cancel
restores them.
The evaluation limit and Integer Optimality are now part of the model:
they are saved in the hidden names (solver_itr, which counts evaluations
in place of iterations, and solver_tol) and in the options row of Save
Model. Both accept numbers or text, as the other options do.
* Data: Solver keeps its own limits out of Excel's Solver names
The evaluation limit was saved as solver_itr. Excel uses that name for
its iteration limit (100 by default), so a workbook saved by Excel would
give GridCraft 100 evaluations and stop its search early. GridCraft now
saves the evaluation limit as gridcraft_solver_evals, which Excel
ignores, and no longer reads solver_itr. Saving a model again and Reset
All remove it with the other model names. Integer Optimality
(solver_tol) keeps Excel's name, as its meaning is the same.
* Data: Solver Reset All also resets the Solver Options
Reset All removes the model's options from the Solver Parameters form,
the Solver Options fields (the evaluation limit, Integer Optimality and
the Evolutionary options) and Require Bounds, so the next Solve uses the
defaults. It now also removes the copy of the options that Options keeps
for Cancel. A test checks that the options are gone after Reset All and
that Options then shows the defaults.
* Data: Solver reads Integer Optimality with a percent sign as percent
Integer Optimality is given in percent, but text such as "5%" was read
by the number parser as 0.05 and then divided by 100 again, so the
solver used 0.05 % instead of 5 %. A trailing percent sign is now
dropped before the number is read, so "5", "5%" and 5 all mean 5 %.
* Data: Solver Options closes with Escape back to the Solver Parameters
Escape in the Solver Options view went to the shared dialog handler,
which closed the whole Solver dialog: the options were not restored and
parameter edits made before opening Options were lost. Escape (and
closing the window) in Solver Options now does what Cancel does: it
restores the options and returns to the Solver Parameters. Escape in the
parameters still closes the dialog.
* Data: Solver keeps the Evolutionary options when another method solves
Solver Options sets the Evolutionary options whatever the solving
method, but the saved model and the model in data.solver's result held
them only for the Evolutionary method. A GRG Nonlinear or Simplex LP
solve (which saves the model by default) dropped them, and switching
back to Evolutionary brought back the defaults. They are now saved and
returned for every method. Two tests that expected them to be absent
for other methods now check their values.
* Data: Solver Options keeps its OK and Cancel row at button height
The Solver Options' OK and Cancel row was a right-to-left layout placed
straight in the window, which takes all the height it is offered, so
the buttons sat well below the last option and the window was taller
than its content. The row is now wrapped in a horizontal row as tall as
the buttons, as the other form dialogs do (ok_cancel).
The window's height now changes when it switches between the parameters
and the options, and the window re-centres over the next frames, so the
test that switches back and forth lets a few frames pass after each
switch before it clicks.
* Data: Solver Parameters keeps its Solve and Close row at button height
The Solve and Close row was a right-to-left layout placed straight in
the window. The window keeps its size when its content gets shorter, as
it does when the Load/Save area or a note is hidden again, and that
layout then filled the space left over, so Solve moved further below
the last row. The row is now a horizontal row as tall as the buttons,
as ok_cancel and the Solver Options do.
* Data: Solver dialog opened in its options sets them up as the Options button does
Opening the Solver dialog straight in the Solver Options (optionsView:
true) only changed the title. It skipped what the Options button does:
filling each option the form lacks with its default and keeping the
current values for Cancel. With no saved model the fields were blank,
and Cancel or Escape found nothing to restore, so the edits stayed and
the next Solve used them. The button and the dialog now share one
function for this.
* Data: Solver reads Integer Optimality back without floating-point noise
Integer Optimality is stored as a fraction, and the product with 100 is not exact for many percents (0.07 * 100 is 7.000000000000001). The percent is now rounded to 1E-10 % wherever it is read back: the saved model, the solve's model params and Save Model's options row.
* Data: Solver reads whole-number options back as integers
The model's numeric options were returned as floating-point JSON, so after a solve the Solver Options showed 20000.0, 100.0, 0.0 and 50.0. Values read from the hidden names, and Integer Optimality in the solve's result, are now JSON integers where they are whole, and the dialog shows 20000, 100, 0 and 50.
* Data: Solver test checks the model saved by the second solve
The test of Excel's iteration and time limits ignored the result of
its second `data.solver` call and checked only names the first call
had already created. It now reads the saved model afterwards and
checks the values the second call changed (Simplex LP and an
evaluation limit of 700). The call itself still fails, as Simplex LP
refuses the nonlinear model, after the model is saved.
* Data: Solver Load Model refuses an options row cut short
The options row of a saved model was read leniently: a missing value
or one that isn't a number took its default, and values after the
sixteenth were not read at all. A row cut short or edited by hand,
such as ={1}, therefore loaded the model with default options in
place of the saved ones (here: GRG Nonlinear in place of Simplex
LP). The row must now hold at least the eight numbers Save Model
writes (method, non-negative, population size, mutation rate, random
seed, require bounds, convergence, generations without improvement),
and every value in it, however many, must be a number; otherwise
Load Model is refused and the sheet's model stays as it was. Only
the first sixteen values are kept. More numbers than eight are still
read, so a row with options a later version adds loads too.
The test loads rows of one value, seven values, a text value among
the eight, after them and after the sixteenth, and a TRUE, from the
first cell and as a range, checking the old model after each
refusal, and a row of ten numbers, which loads. It fails without the
change.

spilled values, which that formula would lose to #SPILL!. The options of
a model saved at the same cell before may be replaced, as before.
* Data: Solver Reset All and Load Model drop the old model's options
Reset All cleared the model fields of the Solver Parameters form but
kept the Evolutionary options (Convergence, Mutation Rate, Population
Size, Random Seed, generations without improvement and Require Bounds),
and Load Model kept any of them that the loaded model omits, such as all
of them for a GRG Nonlinear or Simplex LP model. A new Evolutionary model
then solved with the old options, for example with Require Bounds off.
Both now remove the model's options from the form first (one list of
their keys), so an option the model doesn't set takes its default.
* Data: Solver Save Model asks before it replaces data
Save Model wrote its formulas over whatever the model range held.
It is now refused, with the sheet unchanged, when a cell of the
range holds a value or a formula (a model saved there before
included), unless `overwrite: true` is passed. The message names
the first such cell and carries the same "already holds data"
phrase as Data Analysis, so the Solver Parameters dialog asks
"Replace it with the model?" with Replace and Don't Replace. The
question belongs to the range it asked about: editing the range,
Load or Reset All drops it. The check runs after the spill checks,
so the question is asked only when replacing would succeed. A save
remains one undo step.
Tests: the engine test refuses a value, a formula and an earlier
model, accepts only a true boolean, and undoes and redoes the
replacing save in one step; the dialog test covers Don't Replace,
an edited range and Replace. Both fail without the change.
* Data: Solver Load Model and Reset All tests for limits and undo
Tests for behaviour already in place: reading down from one cell of
a column of 5,000 formulas stops after the most rows a model takes,
a range larger than a model is refused before any cell is read, and
malformed or hostile cells and ranges (unbalanced brackets, an
overflowing number, an unknown sheet, 10,000 nested brackets, a
non-text `from`) each give an error and leave no model. Undoing
Reset All brings the model back with its options (the population
size).
* Data: Solver Load Model refuses a model without its options row
Load Model from one cell read down to the first cell without a
formula, and a range dropped its trailing cells without formulas.
A constraint cleared in the middle of a saved model, or its options
row cleared or replaced by a constant, therefore left a prefix of
the model, which was loaded as the whole model with default options
and replaced the sheet's model. Every load now requires the model's
last row to be the options row ({...}) that Save Model writes last;
otherwise it is refused, naming the cell without a formula when
reading down from one cell, and the sheet's model stays as it was.
The test clears a middle constraint, clears the options row and
replaces it by a constant, loads from the first cell and as two
ranges, and checks after each refusal that the old model (three
constraints, Simplex LP) is unchanged. It fails without the change.
* Data: Solver Load Model refuses an options row cut short
The options row of a saved model was read leniently: a missing value
or one that isn't a number took its default, and values after the
sixteenth were not read at all. A row cut short or edited by hand,
such as ={1}, therefore loaded the model with default options in
place of the saved ones (here: GRG Nonlinear in place of Simplex
LP). The row must now hold at least the eight numbers Save Model
writes (method, non-negative, population size, mutation rate, random
seed, require bounds, convergence, generations without improvement),
and every value in it, however many, must be a number; otherwise
Load Model is refused and the sheet's model stays as it was. Only
the first sixteen values are kept. More numbers than eight are still
read, so a row with options a later version adds loads too.
The test loads rows of one value, seven values, a text value among
the eight, after them and after the sixteenth, and a TRUE, from the
first cell and as a range, checking the old model after each
refusal, and a row of ten numbers, which loads. It fails without the
change.

A formula calling a Google-only function (GOOGLETRANSLATE, QUERY,
ARRAYFORMULA...) opened as #NAME? where the wrapper had shown the cached
value, as Excel does. The XLSX reader now unwraps a cell formula only when
every function inside is known: read_xlsx_with takes the predicate (the
xlsx crate can't depend on the function library) and the engine passes
gridcraft_calc::is_known_function. Unwrapping stays in the reader so shared
formulas are shifted from the unwrapped master.

The default still reads a string with typed input, which is en-US: "05.04.2026"
from a dd.mm.yyyy export became 4 May, "2.500" became 2.5, and the command said
nothing (#2255). `parse: false` (PR #2267) lets a caller keep the text, but a
script that does not pass it still cannot notice the change.
The result now names them: `converted` lists the strings typed input read as a
number (dates and times included), a boolean or an error, with the cell, the
input and what the cell shows, and `convertedCount` is the total. It is capped
at 20 entries and 32 characters per string, so a big write does not put a second
copy of its data in the result. A string written as a formula (`=1+1`) and a
leading apostrophe are not conversions. `cells` and the default reading of the
values are unchanged.
Two `parse: false` fixes from the review of #2267:
- An empty string clears the cell, as `null` and the default path do. Storing an
empty text cell left a cell that is not blank: `values: [["", ""]]` gave
COUNTA 2 and ISBLANK FALSE.
- MCP `write_range` takes `parse`, so an agent can opt out too; the tool's
description and docs/mcp.md say so.
Tests: the issue's examples under both settings, the report and its cap, the
empty string, and an XLSX save/reopen that keeps the text as text and the
default's date as a date.
`rewrite_cell_links` rewrote a chart series' values, categories and name
but not its bubble sizes, so inserting or deleting lines, a cut-move or a
sheet rename left a bubble chart's sizes pointing at the old cells. They
are now rewritten with the rest.
Test: bubble sizes through an inserted row, a cut-move and a sheet rename.
Structural edits and sorts kept three hand-indexed lists (charts, images,
shapes) in step in two places, and slicers were left out of both, so a
slicer stayed put when rows were inserted above it. Chart series were
rewritten for inserted and deleted lines and for sheet renames, but not for
cut-moves or sheet deletes, which left them pointing at the old cells.
- Inserting and deleting rows and columns and sorting walk
`Sheet::object_anchors` and `object_anchors_mut`, one fixed order over
every kind, so slicers now follow their cells by their anchor mode like
the other objects, and a new kind cannot be forgotten in one of the
passes.
- `rewrite_cell_links` is the one place that rewrites the references
floating objects hold (chart series values, categories and names,
and the source block a chart was made from).
`rewrite_all_formulas` calls it, which covers inserting and deleting
lines and cells and cut-moves on one sheet or across sheets; renaming and
deleting a sheet call it too, so a series into a deleted sheet becomes
#REF!, as a formula does.
- Copying a sheet gives its charts, pictures, shapes and slicers fresh ids,
keeping ids unique across the workbook, which object selection and the
`{kind, id}` commands rely on.
Tests: every kind through row and column inserts and deletes, an absolute
shape, a sort and undo; a slicer through inserted rows; chart series
through a cut-move, a sheet rename, a sheet delete and undo; ids after a
sheet copy.
The sheet tracked the selected object as a bare id in `selected_chart`, so
only charts and text boxes drew a selection frame, only the bottom-right
corner resized, and the kind of the selected object had to be guessed from
the id. The selection is now `SheetApp::selected_object: Option<ObjRef>`,
with `selected_chart()` kept for the Chart Design tab and the Format Chart
pane.
- Model: `ObjKind` (chart, image, shape, slicer) and `ObjRef { kind, id }`;
`Sheet` helpers find, move and remove an object by `ObjRef` and walk every
object's anchor in a fixed order. `next_object_id` saturates instead of
overflowing on an id at `u32::MAX` read from a file.
- Commands: `object.delete`, `object.move` and `object.setAnchorMode` accept
the four kinds through one parameter check, refuse an unknown kind or id
instead of succeeding silently, and clamp hostile offsets. `object.delete`
replies with the deleted object. Arrange and the Selection Pane include
slicers, which stack above the other objects.
- Sheet: the selected object of any kind draws a frame with eight handles
over every object. Each handle resizes only its own edges, which never
cross; the body moves the object, and the first drag frame already applies
the pointer's movement. The pointer shows the handle's resize cursor or a
move cursor, with the diagonals swapped on a right-to-left sheet, where the
frame moves with its object.
- Keys: Escape drops the object selection; Delete and Backspace keep
deleting the selected object (#213). A selection whose object disappears
(undo, redo, delete, sheet switch) is cleared.
- Double-click: `open_object` routes by kind (a text box edits in place, a
chart opens Format Chart).
- Control protocol: `ui.inspect` reports `selectedObject {kind, id}` and
keeps `selectedChart`; `ui.object.select` selects any object and replies
with its rect. The snapshot example takes `--object <id>`.
Tests: engine tests for every kind by kind and id, the Selection Pane and
hostile parameters; UI tests for selecting each kind (a slicer over a chart
takes the click), all eight handles on four kinds, cursors, Delete,
Backspace and Escape, undo and redo, double-click routing, and resizing on a
right-to-left sheet. Existing tests use the new selection API.
formulas.recentlyUsed scanned the session journal for cell.set inputs.
It missed formulas entered by range.* commands, lost them when the
journal dropped its oldest entries (a large file open or a long script
is enough), and started empty in every session. The Function Library's
Recently Used menu and the Insert Function dialog list what it returns.
- Prefs::recent_functions (a new engine module, recent.rs) holds the
ten functions most recently entered in a formula, newest first.
Session::execute updates it for every cell.* and range.* command it
journals, from any source (the interface, the control channel, MCP or
a script). It reads at most 2,000 of the formulas a command enters,
starting from the last one; formulas longer than Excel's limit are
skipped. formulas.recentlyUsed
returns it. It never reads the journal back, so the journal's caps do
not affect it.
- The list is kept with the other engine preferences (prefs.json, the
browser's storage on the web), so it survives a restart as Excel's
does. It is read leniently: a malformed value loses only this list. A
fresh install starts from common functions.
The Insert Function dialog is titled "Insert Function", as in Excel (it
said "Formula Builder"), and gains a working category list: Most
Recently Used, All, then each category in Excel's order. A category may
be given by label or by engine id, so a Function Library menu or the
control channel (ui.dialog.set) opens it on one, and a new search
switches to All. The dialog keeps its translated labels and its search
in the interface language. Each row shows the function's name and its
category in two columns; the category column starts after the widest
name shown, so a long name in any font or formula language stays clear
of it. A function counts as recently used once its formula is entered,
not when OK is pressed. The unused "Formula Builder" translations are
removed.
Tests: engine unit tests for reading functions from formulas (strings,
unknown names, over-long and malformed formulas), the formulas a
command enters (newest first, within the budget), the ten-name list
and the lenient read of prefs.json; tests/it/recently_used.rs for
cell.set and range.setValues from the session, a failed command, a
cleared journal and a save and reload of the preferences. UI tests for
the menu's order and the dialog's title, categories, engine-id
category, search and OK, and for the category column with a wide font.
The view commands are not undo steps and don't mark the workbook changed (as in
Excel), so undoing everything leaves a sheet's view mode as it is. The undo
check now resets the view mode with the other view state before comparing.
Seed 177 (`view.pageBreakPreview` on the sales sample) failed the [undo]
invariant without this.
A sheet's view is not an undo step: Excel doesn't undo a switch between
Normal, Page Layout and Page Break Preview, and view.normal,
view.pageLayout and view.pageBreakPreview are noundo here. But undo and
redo swap in a whole snapshot of the workbook, so undoing an earlier edit
put back the view the sheet had then: set A1, switch to Page Break
Preview, undo, and the sheet was in Normal again (redo switched it back).
Undo and redo now keep each sheet's current view (extra::keep_view_modes),
as they already keep the Watch Window list, carrying it through each step
of a multi-step undo or redo. Sheets are matched by name; while a rename
is undone or redone, by position under the name the restored snapshot
doesn't have. A view kept this way doesn't make a saved
workbook dirty, as set_view doesn't.
Tests: undo and redo with each view, undoing a rename and a new sheet, a
rename and a new sheet undone and redone with steps: 2, and redo back to
the saved state staying clean. Each fails without the change (the view
reverted to Normal).
A checkbox cell drew a box on screen but printed and exported to PDF
its value as TRUE or FALSE. The print path now draws the box as the
grid does: white with a grey outline when unchecked, green with a
white tick when checked. Other values in a checkbox cell still print
as text.

Brings in the macro interface: the Macros dialog and editor, the
Automate ribbon section, drag-and-drop of macro steps, and the
macro overlay on the grid. Ported into the split module layout on main.
Clippy gate: moved wildcard imports to explicit lists, named the
test edit tables, boxed the overlay layer tuple, switched the editor
to craft_ui::ComboBox per clippy.toml, and simplified an is_some_and
in the LP solver.
