Edit › Transform › Distort ignored its mid-edge handles: mode_allows
rejected Hit::Edge in Distort, so a press there armed no gesture. As in
Photoshop, a Distort side handle now moves its edge freely: both of that
edge's corners move by the drag offset and the opposite edge stays put,
stopping before the box folds flat (keep_convex), as a Distort corner
does. Like the corner, it ignores Shift and Alt. The reference point
keeps its place in the box. Preview and commit share the session quad,
and the commit is one history step.
Perspective mode's side handles now skew along their edge, as in
Photoshop, by reusing the Skew-mode edge arm. Before, they scaled.
The handle pointer follows: the distort pointer on Distort side handles
and the skew pointer on Perspective side handles. Free Transform's plain
side handles (scale) and its Cmd-drag (free edge move) are unchanged.
Tests cover each edge's exact corner offsets, modifier independence, the
collapse stop, a real pointer drag committed in one step with the pixels
inside the shown quad, and Perspective edge slides. docs/ui-parity.md is
updated.
