A sheet holds form controls as floating objects of a new kind
(ObjKind::Control): buttons that run a macro or one command, and sliders
and spin buttons that hold a whole number from 0 to 30000 and write it
to a linked cell. They take part in everything other objects do: ids
from the workbook sequence, object.move, object.delete and
object.setAnchorMode, the Selection Pane and Bring Forward / Send
Backward, anchors that follow row and column edits, fresh ids on a
copied sheet, and links that follow inserts, deletes, cut-moves, sheet
renames and sheet deletes like chart series.
Commands (cmd/controls.rs): insert.button, insert.slider,
insert.spinButton, control.format, control.assign, control.setValue,
control.press and the control.list query. Each numeric rule (0 <= min <
max <= 30000, 1 <= step <= max - min, page >= step for sliders) is
refused with its own message, and values are clamped and snapped to the
step. control.setValue writes the linked cell through cell.set inside
one undo group, so dependents recalculate and one Undo restores both;
every commit moves linked controls to what their cells hold.
control.press runs a button's macro through macro.run, or its command
through the macro policy with the document's trust, so a button in a
workbook opened from a file asks before it runs anything. Like a macro
step, the command runs inside the scripts' file sandbox unless it is an
approved file command. Macros never press controls, and macro.rename
keeps buttons pointing at the renamed macro.
macro.run, macro.check and the debugger take `output`, which replaces
the macro's output anchor for that run (a button that sends the output
elsewhere). The policy and the approval go by the stored macro; the
footprint, the conflict rule and the per-step check work on the cells
`output` names. A value that isn't reference text of at most 1,024
characters, or names no cell, is refused before anything runs.
`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.
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.
`save_fails_upfront_when_the_temp_name_is_taken` calls
`std::os::unix::fs::symlink` but was only gated on non-wasm, so the
engine crate's lib tests did not compile on Windows. Gate it `cfg(unix)`
like the neighbouring permissions test.
