VectorCraft does not run scripts written for the reference app, and
File › Scripts held only the disabled Other Script…. File › Scripts ›
Check Script… picks a .jsx, .jsxinc or .jsxbin file, reads it without
running any of it, and shows a report: what the script needs (the
script language's own objects, the document model, files, menu
commands, dialogs, or features only the reference app has), what it
would do outside the document, the menu-command strings it passes, the
document-model member chains and type names it uses, its directives,
the files it includes, and the problems that would stop it loading.
Copy Report copies the report as JSON. File › Open and drag-and-drop
show the report for those files too.
- vectorcraft-scriptcheck, a new Standalone crate with no
dependencies, holds the checker: a lexer for ECMAScript 3 with E4X
literals and the #name and //@name directive lines, and an analysis
of the tokens that follows variables, function scopes and the files
a script includes. It never recurses: open brackets, the levels of
an XML literal and the function bodies being read are kept on stacks
capped at 4,096. It reads at most 8 MiB of a file and 32 MiB with the
included files, follows 64 included files 16 deep, looks up at most
1,024 paths for them, keeps 1,000 entries in a list, tracks 1,000
variables holding member chains and 1,000 holding File objects, and
cuts echoed text to 120 characters. A compiled script is reported as
compiled and isn't read.
- script.check (engine, a query) takes path, data or dataBase64. With a
path and includes: true, it reads the files the #include lines name
from inside the script's folder, through the automation read root,
and when the script or one of those files assigns a member chain or a
File object to a variable, the check treats the variable as holding
it in every file. It doesn't follow absolute names, names, folders or
links that lead out of the folder, names or folders longer than 4,096
bytes, or JSINCLUDE, and it reads only regular files.
- ui.checkScript shows the report (dialog scriptCheck). File › Open
lists Scripts (.jsx, .jsxinc, .jsxbin) and sends a script's path to
script.check, which reads at most 8 MiB of it.
The language rules come from ECMA-262 3rd edition and ECMA-357 2nd
edition. The directive, platform and document-model root names come
from the public JavaScript Tools Guide and scripting guide pages that
catalog.rs cites by URL, and executeMenuCommand, doScript, loadAction,
unloadAction and selectTool come from the public forum posts cited
there; only names are used. Every script in the tests is written from
scratch with invented names.

Create: Strokes (the Outline preset, or the option) traced lines along the pixel skeleton: right to a pixel,
with a width counted in pixels, and fitted by a separate, older fitter.
- Each skeleton point is moved to the middle of the line's ink, read from the image across the line: every
pixel counts as much ink as its colour is the line's rather than the paper's, the ink's centroid is the
middle and its sum the width (an anti-aliased or blurred line says both to a fraction of a pixel).
- The stroke width is the median of those widths, no longer a whole number of pixels.
- Each end goes where the ink ends, less the half width a round cap adds.
- Centre lines are fitted as outlines are: a straight line is two anchors, corners stay corners, Snap Curves To
Lines levels them. The old Douglas-Peucker and simplify fitter, and the crate's pathops dependency, go.
Outline on the thin-line inputs, all sizes and variants (docs/image-trace-quality.md), before -> after:
- painted outline 0.310 -> 0.055 px off on average; 81 -> 14 anchors for five lines
- centre line 0.295 -> 0.052 px from the true centre line; stroke width 0.13 -> 0.02 px off; 18.4 -> 2.7
anchors a stroke (blurred, noisy and scanned lines: 2.0 each; aliased: 4.6)
- largest distance 1.84 -> 2.94 px: the square ends of a 10 px line under a round cap
Presets without Create: Strokes are unchanged.
On Windows, perf printed "load average ?": load_average runs sysctl
or reads /proc/loadavg, and Windows has neither. The warning for a
busy machine could not print, so a run over budget on a busy machine
failed, where macOS and Linux warn and exit 0. perf --deep printed no
memory rows, because rss_mb runs ps. --help did not list --deep.
On Windows, perf now reads GetSystemTimes twice, one second apart,
and its first line gives the cores busy on average over that second
where macOS and Linux give the load average. It warns above three
quarters of the cores, as on macOS and Linux: with all 32 logical
processors of a test machine kept busy, the line read "cores busy
32.0" and a run with three budgets over exited 0. The --deep memory
rows give the working set (GetProcessMemoryInfo). Both calls use
winsafe 0.0.29, which Cargo.lock already lists for the desktop app;
the CLI depends on it on Windows with the kernel and psapi features.
The help lists --deep and says that a run over budget on a busy
machine exits 0. perf's report on macOS and Linux does not change.
The three 3D types besides Revolve, as live effects in the three-d crate,
drawn as shaded vector faces by the canvas, SVG/PDF export and Expand
Appearance alike, from the public 3D and Materials documentation:
- Extrude & Bevel: depth (0-2000 pt), twist, taper, solid or hollow caps,
and bevels in six original cross-sections (classic, rounded, cove, step,
ogee) with width, height, repeat, spacing, inside and both sides.
- Inflate: the shape as a membrane under pressure (a Poisson solve held at
zero along the outline and holes), so it rises vertically from the edge
and rounds without creases; volume, depth and both sides. Steep cells
near the outline are refined without cracks.
- Rotate: every fill and stroke turned in 3D and shaded as one plane.
All three share Revolve's view and lighting parameters, the rotation and
light gizmos (turning about the art's centre) and a dialog with Object,
Rotation and Lighting tabs, with Position presets (Front ... Isometric
Bottom, our own values). An object takes one 3D effect. Inflate cuts the
grid cells that straddle a hole's edge with pathops, hence the new
pathops -> three-d layer order.
Docs: docs/three-d.md, mcp.md, and the 3D rows of the parity docs.
On a hybrid laptop whose Wayland compositor runs on the discrete GPU
(Hyprland with AQ_DRM_DEVICES naming the NVIDIA card first), the built-in
panel still hangs off the integrated GPU, so the display rule put it first,
and the window stayed empty: the compositor took the frames and showed
nothing, with no error, so neither the restart on a failed adapter (#502)
nor the first-frame watch (#964) noticed.
Which GPU drives a display stands in for which GPU the compositor draws
with. Under Wayland the compositor says so itself: the main_device of its
linux-dmabuf feedback (version 4), the device it imports client buffers on,
which Mesa's Vulkan device-select layer reads for the same purpose.
compositor_gpu.rs asks for it on a short-lived connection, maps the dev_t
to PCI ids through /sys/dev/char, and under Automatic adapter_order ranks
that adapter ahead of the display GPUs. No answer (X11, an older compositor,
a GPU no adapter matches) leaves the existing rules in charge; a user's own
choice, WGPU_ADAPTER_NAME and the restart skip list still come first.
wayland-client and wayland-protocols are already in the tree through winit;
they become direct Linux-only dependencies.
These scripts don't separate words with spaces, and lines only broke at
spaces, hyphens and CJK characters, so a Thai paragraph in area type ran
on to the next space (or was cut wherever it overflowed). Each
paragraph's glyphs now carry the word ends ICU4X's line segmenter finds
in text of those scripts (its dictionaries on the desktop, its far
smaller LSTM models on the web), and a line may break after them as
after a space. Other text keeps its own breaks, and clusters (a
consonant with its vowel and tone marks) still never split.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The Type tool's Left and Right arrows and Delete moved one code point at
a time, so the caret could stop between a Thai consonant and its vowel
or tone marks (or inside an accented letter or emoji sequence), where
typing or deleting splits the cluster. They now step over extended
grapheme clusters. Backspace still takes back one character at a time,
as Thai typists expect for a mistyped tone mark.

The crash: rfd's blocking dialog ran -[NSSavePanel runModal] inside
winit's event handler; when a resize of the panel ends, AppKit runs the
closures winit queued meanwhile, and winit's re-entrancy panic fires
inside an Objective-C block, where it can't unwind, so the app aborts.
As PhotoCraft (#673) and PdfCraft (#145) ship it:
- macOS: picks::ask shows an rfd::AsyncFileDialog as a sheet on the
window (beginSheetModalForWindow returns at once); a waiter thread
sends the paths and wakes the window. A pick asked outside an entry is
refused and logged instead of running a modal. Linux keeps its thread
(#592) and now also wakes the window; Windows is unchanged.
- Nine paths that asked outside an entry now run as entries: Load
Profile, Swatches and Graphic Styles Other Library, the shortcut
editor's Import and Export, and the presets dialogs' Export.
- While a dialog is open: the macOS menu bar is inert except Hide, Hide
Others and Minimize; Quit, Close, Close All and the close button are
refused; Finder/Dock opens and the IME discard wait; another dialog
is refused with a status message. The answer re-activates the
document that asked (by uid) and Save Changes finds its document by
uid; a frame guard clears a stale picks entry after a recovered panic.
- ui.inspect reports fileDialog.
Squashed onto current main by the maintainer (with main's automation
sandbox wrappers and font-name menus kept).

- Version 0.8.0 -> 0.9.0 (cargo xtask version set; Cargo.lock refreshed).
- release.yml: new linux-riscv64 job, ported from GridCraft. Cross-compiles
riscv64gc-unknown-linux-gnu on ubuntu-24.04 against riscv64 -dev packages
from ports.ubuntu.com (the same set the linux job installs), packages a
tar.gz, and runs vectorcraft-cli --version under qemu-riscv64. The draft
release job now needs it, so its tarball is uploaded and in SHA256SUMS.
- packaging/linux/package.sh: CROSS_ARCH / CROSS_TARGET / CROSS_COMPILE /
EMULATOR support, as in GridCraft.
- docs/releasing.md: list the riscv64 artifact.
Checked locally: cargo check -p vectorcraft -p vectorcraft-cli --target
riscv64gc-unknown-linux-gnu, cargo fmt --check, actionlint, shellcheck.

The sweep under Offset Path (linesweeper 0.4) never finished on some
miter offsets: on the reported glyph and on a synthetic outline it kept
allocating until the app ran out of memory. linesweeper 0.5 fixes that
infinite loop ("Fixed an infinite loop", 0.5.0 changelog), and builds
without changes.
0.5 can hand back a curve piece that doesn't follow the input curve it
was cut from. In the Shape Builder rosette test, a contour runs out along
one petal and back by such a piece, which became a 59 x 4 pt hole in the
merged shape. Tidy::repair rebuilds a piece that strays from the one input
curve through both its ends as that curve's exact sub-curve (input curves
are indexed by their bounds' left edge, so it stays cheap). The there-and-
back then encloses nothing and is dropped as a sliver. Pieces on their
curve, and pieces whose ends two input curves pass through (a real lens),
are left alone.

AppKit places close, minimize and zoom in a standard title bar, shorter
than the 44-point app bar they sit over, so they rode high on it. They
are now moved to the middle of the bar, inset from its left as far as
from its top, with the title bar container made as tall as the bar so
they stay clickable. AppKit lays the title bar out again on resize and
when leaving full screen, so the placement runs every frame and sets a
frame only when it is out of place. The app bar keeps the room the
buttons take, measured, instead of a fixed 78 points.

A /ForeignObject (non-native art: the content of a placed PDF, which
Illustrator shows but doesn't edit) was left out with a note. The
letterhead of #861 keeps its fan of swooshes that way: a radial gradient
in a 3-point PDF, scaled 271 times and clipped by the swoosh paths, so
the page lost its main graphic.
The reader now decodes the object's ASCII85 /Data, has the PDF importer
read the PDF, and fits its art to the object's box as a group named
"Non-native art": /Bounds measured from /Origin with y down, then
/RTransform, which lands exactly on the clipping paths around both
objects of that file; the PDF's content is kept in its own y-up
coordinates, so it is flipped into the box. Ids are the document's and
the PDF's swatches stay unlinked; its images join the document by
content key. A PDF that can't be read is left out with a note, as
before.
The EPS crate now uses the PDF crate (same layer; allowed in the layer
check like render and metafile).

Double-clicking a brush in the Brushes panel (or the panel menu's Brush
Options…) opens its options. Calligraphic Brush Options: Angle,
Roundness and Size, each Fixed, Random or Pressure with its Variation,
over live previews of the nib and of a stroke. Bristle Brush Options:
Shape and the bristle sliders. OK runs brush.options; strokes painted
with the brush update.
The Paintbrush records the pen pressure along a stroke (path.freehand
takes [x, y, pressure] points), and a Calligraphic brush with Pressure
variation changes its nib along the stroke, from the value less the
variation at the lightest pressure to the value plus it at the heaviest.
Brushes saved before keep their Random variation. Pen pressure doesn't
reach the app on macOS yet (winit 0.30 reports none there).

On a desktop with a Ryzen integrated GPU without a monitor and an NVIDIA
card driving both monitors, Automatic (power saving on Windows) picked
the integrated GPU; Windows presented every frame across adapters and
the integrated GPU's driver reset, losing the graphics device or taking
every monitor down for minutes (same bug as pdfcraft#378).
Automatic now asks the system which GPU drives which display (Windows:
EnumDisplayDevices through winsafe; Linux: /sys/class/drm) and ranks the
GPU driving a display, and among those the primary display's, ahead of
the power preference. Where the system can't say, or no adapter's PCI
ids match (OpenGL, Metal), the order is the power preference's as
before, so nothing gets worse. Power Saving and High Performance chosen
by the user, and WGPU_POWER_PREF, keep ordering by kind alone.
The log now lists the display GPUs, which adapters drive a display, and
the adapter drawn on with the reason, the first question in every
black-window report. Tests cover the device-id parser, the rankings
(desktop with all monitors on the discrete GPU, hybrid laptop, a monitor
on each GPU, no match), the sysfs reader and a live EnumDisplayDevices
call.

The font scan read only the macOS font folders and the Additional
Fonts Folder, so fonts that apps and font managers register with
CoreText from their own folders were missing from the font menus, and
exports set such type in the fallback font. CoreText's font manager
lists them with the installed fonts.
- `mac_fonts.rs` lists the files of the fonts the font manager has
available (`CTFontManagerCopyAvailableFontURLs`, through
objc2-core-text), keeping only file URLs as `open_documents.rs` does
(#433). The desktop app and `vectorcraft-cli` install it as they
install the DirectWrite lister on Windows, and the scan reads the
files outside the font folders in place.
- The scan leaves out faces with no outlines the font engine draws (no
glyf, CFF, CFF2 or VARC table), on every platform. CoreText lists
Apple's PingFang UI interface font (macOS 27), whose outlines are in
an hvgl table; if the scan cataloged it, PingFang SC would count as
installed, and Chinese characters in fallback text, Japanese kanji
included, would draw blank.
- Tests: the list holds the installed fonts by full path, a font
registered from another folder is listed while it is registered, and
a face without outlines the engine draws isn't cataloged.
Desktop builds made with CRAFT_FONTS_DIR now load craft-fonts' 12 Arabic families into the document font database. Noto Sans Arabic comes first and is the fallback for Arabic text. Cairo, Tajawal, Almarai, IBM Plex Sans Arabic, Noto Kufi Arabic, Amiri, Alexandria, Fustat, Reem Kufi, Aref Ruqaa and Gulzar can be picked by name from the font menus.
The web build doesn't embed these fonts because they would make the wasm too large. It fetches them from beside the wasm instead:
- crates/text/web-fonts.txt lists each face as startup or background.
- build.rs turns that list into vectorcraft_text::WEB_FONTS, with each face's URL (fonts/<sha16>/<file>) and SRI hash taken from the craft-fonts manifest.
- packaging/web/copy-fonts.sh, a Trunk post_build hook, copies the font files and their OFL licences there.
- apps/vectorcraft-web/src/fonts.rs fetches Noto Sans Arabic before the app starts, so Arabic text never shows as boxes. It loads the other faces in the background and logs `web font …` for any that fail.
Because fonts can now arrive after startup, the Type tool's layout cache also checks the font database's generation, so text lays out again when new fonts arrive.
_headers and .htaccess serve fonts/* as font/ttf and cache it as immutable. packaging/web/README.md and docs/development.md explain the fonts folder, and ROADMAP.md lists the Arabic typefaces under Type. Also adds Ahmed Moussa to contributors/people.toml.

The DirectWrite font lister (#594) was installed in the desktop app only:
`vectorcraft-cli` (convert, run, MCP) didn't see fonts that font services
such as Adobe Fonts load on Windows, so its exports set such type in a
fallback font.
- The CLI shares the app's `system_fonts.rs` and installs it first thing
on Windows (not the win7 build). The text crate stays free of unsafe
code; the CLI denies unsafe code instead of forbidding it, so the
shared module's own allowance applies.

Font services load their fonts with GDI at run time, from files in their
own folders, without installing them: neither the font folders nor the
registry list them, so the font scan never saw them. DirectWrite's system
font collection holds them since Windows 10 1607.
- vectorcraft-text: `set_platform_font_files` lets the app name font files
the platform knows; each scan and each check for installed fonts asks
again and reads those outside the font folders. A file named by itself
is read whatever its extension (font services keep fonts in files
without one).
- The desktop app lists the local files of DirectWrite's system font
collection on Windows (`system_fonts.rs`, through the windows crate
already in the build), read in place.
- The check for fonts installed while the app was in the background runs
on a thread: DirectWrite's check for updates takes about 50 ms.

For users, since 0.6.0:
- Linux: no more startup crash on desktops whose compositor runs on another
GPU (#502, #551); the window renders on the desktop's GPU and retries
the next one instead of crashing.
- Windows: rendering through DirectX 12 first, fixing the black flicker on
Intel GPUs (#545).
- Italian interface (#514).
- macOS: the menus live in the system menu bar.
- Panels, panel groups and the Tools panel undock into floating panels (#495).
- Live Corners on any path's corners: stars, polygons, pen paths (#511).
- Drawing tools snap to Smart Guides as the Selection tool does (#506).
- Pen: Cmd/Ctrl edits the path being drawn, Alt reshapes segments, drags
out of the first anchor always close (#494, #501); Convert buttons for
whole paths (#504).
- Right-click a ruler to change the document's units; the Control bar's
Transform link opens the Transform panel.
- Object > Image Trace > Make traces with the Default preset (#543).
- Edit menu Select All, Cut, Copy and Paste act on a focused field (#516).
- Japanese UI: new type starts top-to-top with em box centre alignment (#432).
- PDF/.ai import keeps type strokes, wrapped lines and layer order (#508);
EPS import fixes (#498, #505).
- macOS 27: only file URLs are opened (#433); Linux: the Paste menu no
longer freezes on an unresponsive clipboard owner (#510).

Read the native container beyond its preview: the chain of allocation
tables (#FAT, #FT2, #FT3, #FT4) with newest-revision selection, CRC-checked
extraction of stored, zlib and zstd entries with their byte predictors,
and the self-describing tagged object stream in doc.dat as a generic tree
of shared, inline and positional objects.
Every declared size is checked against per-entry and per-import budgets
before allocation; the zstd window is capped at 64 MiB; table chains are
cycle-checked; arrays are checked against the remaining bytes; object
nesting stops at 384 levels.
The header now accepts container versions 8 to 12 and the flag values 4
and 8 that real Affinity 3 files carry (the previous check rejected the
public CC0 Affinity 3 documents); the thumbnail record is the same in all
those versions. Checked against 176 public documents saved by Affinity 1.x
to 3.x: every doc.dat decompresses with a matching CRC and parses with no
bytes left over.
A test-only `synth` feature builds synthetic containers for unit tests
and fuzz seeds; it is not an Affinity exporter.

On macOS the menus are in the system menu bar, laid out as a Mac app's (Illustrator on the Mac as
the reference), and the app settings sit in the VectorCraft menu: About, Settings ▸ (one item per
Preferences page, General… ⌘K), Language ▸, Appearance ▸ (UI brightness), Services, Hide
VectorCraft ⌃⌘H (⌘H stays View › Hide Edges), Hide Others ⌥⌘H, Show All and Quit ⌘Q (the app's own
quit, so unsaved documents are asked about); they leave Edit and Help. Window gets Minimize ⌃⌘M,
Zoom and Bring All to Front; Help is the system's Help menu. Windows, Linux and the web keep the
in-window menu bar unchanged; --in-window-menus or VECTORCRAFT_IN_WINDOW_MENUS keeps it on macOS
too, and so does a menu bar AppKit refuses to build.
One menu model: the in-window menus and the native bar draw the same rows (menus::entry), and the
platform-free native_menu module lays them out, decides when to update (a cheap state hash; labels,
enabled and checked in place, a rebuild only when the structure changes) and hands key equivalents
back to egui as the key presses they were, so shortcuts, user overrides and focused text fields
behave as in the window and nothing fires twice. The muda backend (pinned =0.21.1, macOS only, no
unsafe) is apps/vectorcraft/src/mac_menu.rs, mirroring PhotoCraft's. ui.inspect reports
nativeMenuBar. Translations for the new labels in ja, es, zh-hans, zh-hant, cs and pt-br.

Read only the indexed PNG thumbnail observed in version-12 Affinity containers. Bound and validate the PNG before decoding, warn about omitted native content, clear the source save target, and reject auxiliary imports that cannot display that warning. Add malformed-input, lifecycle, property and optional native-oracle tests plus a fuzz target. Editable native layers and Affinity export remain unsupported.
Discord feedback: "EPS files are always rasterized: they open as bitmaps, in
other programs as vectors". Every EPS saved by Illustrator 2026 fell back to
its TIFF preview (`gcheck` was unknown), and cairo/Inkscape files stopped at
their first image (`status`), dropped masked images (ImageType 3) and failed
on mesh gradients; the warning didn't say where the program failed.
Fallback never silent:
- The warning names the PostScript error, the operator that raised it and
the named procedures it ran in, innermost first ("a PostScript error
(typecheck in `add`), in `inner` in `outer`"); errors caught by `stopped`
aren't reported. It reaches the status bar, document.open, app.open and
file.open (which now return document.open's result, so MCP's open_file over
the control channel gets it), and `vectorcraft-cli info` ("warnings").
- A file whose PostScript can't be read opens as its TIFF preview, else its
Windows metafile preview (as vectors, scaled to the bounding box), else its
EPSI bitmap. es @msg rows for the new messages.
Interpreter:
- Operators programs probe or use: gcheck/scheck, rootfont,
currentcolorrendering, currenthsbcolor, status, token, read,
bytesavailable, fileposition/setfileposition, resetfile, write*, pdfmark
(marks dropped, as Ghostscript does), execform, nulldevice, strokepath,
pathforall, user paths (ufill/ueofill/ustroke/uappend/upath/setbbox, the
encoded form too), setcachedevice2, findcolorrendering, cache, device and
VM queries, revision; (%stdout) (w) file gives a sink.
- `//name` is replaced by its value when read, inside procedures too.
- Tiling patterns become pattern swatches (their PaintProc drawn in pattern
space, one cell; uncoloured ones in the colour under them; makepattern
copies share one swatch); nested patterns stop at 8 levels.
- Type 3 fonts draw their glyphs (BuildGlyph/BuildChar, widths from
setcachedevice/setcharwidth) as outlines grouped per string, spaced by
ashow/widthshow/awidthshow/xshow/yshow/xyshow/kshow; glyphshow and
stringwidth/cshow use them.
- Shadings of types 1 and 4-7 become gradient meshes (data from arrays,
strings or files, packed or not, flags sharing edges), as fills through a
shading pattern too; sampled functions (type 0) are evaluated;
GradientMesh::coons/triangle are shared with PDF import.
- ImageType 3 masked images, interleaved by sample, by row or in separate
sources; ReusableStreamDecode reads its data when made; Flate/LZW PNG and
TIFF predictors.
- Bounded: DeviceN at 32 inks, sampled functions at 2^24 samples and 32
outputs, 4096 patches a shading, strokepath ignores dashes finer than 1e5
pieces, Type 3 glyphs nest 8 deep (a glyph that shows itself overflowed the
stack before the limit), 64-bit index maths for 32-bit targets.
Tests: a synthetic program per generator (cairo/Inkscape, its Type 3 fonts,
matplotlib, CorelDRAW, Affinity, LibreOffice, Ghostscript eps2write,
Illustrator procsets), meshes and function shadings, masked images, fault
messages, probing operators, metafile/EPSI previews, `//name`, user paths,
hostile patterns/glyphs/shadings (run against main, 12 of the 14 generator
and feature tests fail; CorelDRAW- and LibreOffice-style programs already
read there). The import fuzz vocabulary covers the new operators. Checked
against real files made here with Inkscape 1.4 (cairo) and Illustrator 2026
(its own format and the CS-to-CC compatibility formats; all fell back or
stopped early on main and open as vectors now; its Illustrator 8 format
needs the next commit); those files aren't committed.

The scan read only the platform's font folders, once per session (or on
Character panel menu > Refresh Font List). Fonts Windows registers outside
its font folders (installed as shortcuts, or by programs into their own
folders) never listed, nor did fonts installed while the app was open.

user's Fonts registry keys outside the scanned folders are scanned too
(windows-registry, the windows-rs project's safe registry API).

Flatpak, Snap, NixOS, Guix) and a Flatpak sandbox's host fonts

and a scan's roots may be font files as well as folders.
- FontDb::installed_fonts_changed compares the folders the last scan read
(their modification times, and the paths it started from); the app
checks it when its window comes back to the front and rescans
(text.rescanFonts) only when fonts were installed or removed meanwhile.

* About: contributors compiled in from contributors.json (grab bag + table, sortable, name toggle)
Help > About VectorCraft gains Contributors and Models tabs next to the existing About
content, following the craftrules standard (standards/contributors.md):
contributors/contributors.json is generated by craftrules/scripts/contributors.py and baked
into the binary by crates/ui-egui/build.rs as static tables (credits.rs). Each contributor
line: @username, opt-in display/real name, PRs, commits, lines +/-/delta, binary assets +/-,
first/last commit. Sortable by every column; alphabetical ignores case and the leading @.
Labels are translated (ja, zh-hant, pt-br catalog rows).

Under Wayland the window is native but arboard was built without its
data-control backend, so it read the X11 clipboard through XWayland,
which only holds what X11 apps copied: Paste found nothing and reported
an empty clipboard (egui's text paste into fields uses smithay-clipboard,
which is why that worked). arboard now has `wayland-data-control`, the
same as PhotoCraft; it falls back to X11 where the compositor lacks the
protocol (GNOME's Mutter).
The reporter's clipboard also held text/uri-list: with a file copied in a
file manager, Paste would have taken the path as text before the bitmap.
Copied files now paste first, as the first one that is art (SVG, PDF,
EMF/WMF or a bitmap), told from its first 4 KiB by the engine's format
detection (`clipboard::file_flavour`): text/uri-list through arboard on
Linux and macOS (a trailing CR from CRLF lists trimmed), CF_HDROP on
Windows, read with the clipboard closed again.
Dropping files on the window can't work under Wayland yet: winit 0.30,
which eframe 0.36 runs on, has no Wayland drag and drop (winit#1881,
added in 0.31), so no dropped_files arrive. docs/development.md documents
it and the workarounds (copy and paste the files, File > Place, or run
under XWayland with `WAYLAND_DISPLAY=`).

A PDF's DeviceCMYK image opened as RGB (the interpreter's pixels as a PNG),
so every export wrote it as DeviceRGB or ICC RGB, silently. Images now keep
their CMYK samples, as CMYK colours already did:
- Model: CMYK images are blobs holding CMYK samples, a four-component JPEG
(Adobe's inverted samples) or a Deflate CMYK TIFF. vectorcraft-doc's cmyk
module reads their ink amounts (ImageBlob::is_cmyk, ::cmyk, capped at 64
megapixels) and writes the TIFF (ImageBlob::cmyk_tiff).
- PDF import: DeviceCMYK, CalCMYK and four-component ICC images keep their
samples. A JPEG with Decode [1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0] is kept byte for byte; any
other is decoded (8 or 16 bits, its Decode array applied) and stored as a
CMYK TIFF. Masked CMYK images and 1/2/4-bit ones open in RGB with a warning.
Placing a CMYK TIFF keeps it CMYK too.
- PDF export: CMYK images are written in CMYK (DeviceCMYK, or ICC-based with
the CMYK profile when colours are tagged: PDF/X-3, PDF/X-4, PDF/A). A CMYK
JPEG neither resampled nor recompressed passes through unchanged; others are
resampled in CMYK and compressed as ZIP or as a CMYK JPEG (jpeg-encoder,
which also replaces the ZIP fallback and its warning for images converted to
CMYK). Output conversion treats them like CMYK colours: Preserve Numbers and
PDF/X-1a keep their numbers, Convert to Destination converts them to another
CMYK profile or to RGB through a 17^4 lookup table (cms::CmykLut, now also
behind the renderer's ink table). A CMYK image that can't be decoded is
reported in the warnings.
- Canvas: CMYK images show through the working CMYK profile, as CMYK fills
do, and paint their own inks in ink planes (CMYK raster exports, CMYK
blending). SVG export writes TIFF images as PNG.
Illustrator's Output › No Conversion keeps colour data as it is
(https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/pdf-options.html).

- Drop the workspace [patch.crates-io] and restore windows-link's crates.io
source and checksum in Cargo.lock, so every normal build keeps the
checksum-verified crate. windows7.ps1 now applies vendor/windows-link with
--config, checks that only windows-link's lock entry moved, builds and tests
with --locked, checks the patched crate is the one in use, and restores
Cargo.lock afterwards.
- windows7.yml runs on demand and weekly instead of on every PR, pins every
action by commit SHA, and leaves the dependency check and host tests to the
script (-Test) so the Cargo arguments live in one place.
- ROADMAP, README, NOTICE and docs: experimental, unsupported, not verified by
maintainers.

Finder, Open With, a drop on the Dock icon and `open -a` failed with "VectorCraft cannot open
files in the PDF document format":
- The release Info.plist declared no document types, so Launch Services refused the files before
the app saw them. Info.plist.in now declares every format File › Open reads (the engine's
OPEN_EXTS; a test keeps them in step): VectorCraft owns its own documents and templates and is an
alternate for the others, so it takes over no other app's files. `cargo xtask bundle` now fills
in the same template instead of its own, shorter plist.
- macOS delivers such files as open-document events, not arguments. winit 0.30's application
delegate has no `application:openURLs:`, so AppKit fell back to NSDocumentController, which
refuses every file of a non-NSDocument app (the error in both issues). The new
`open_documents` module adds that method to the delegate's class when the app is about to finish
launching (before AppKit delivers launch files), queues the paths and wakes the UI, which opens
them with `io::open_path` like command-line files; errors go to the status bar too.
New direct macOS dependencies `objc2-foundation` 0.3 and `block2` 0.6 were already in Cargo.lock
(through winit, muda and rfd). The module allows `unsafe_code` for the Objective-C runtime call.

- Unicode bidi (unicode-bidi, unicode-script, unicode-general-category):
each paragraph's direction from its first strong character, Hebrew and
Arabic shaped right to left, embedded Latin and numbers keep theirs,
lines wrapped in logical order and reordered per line by whole
clusters; source text, undo and style ranges stay logical.
- Caret, hit testing, selection and the arrow keys follow the visual
order.
- New text aligns automatically: right-to-left paragraphs right, others
left (Justify::Auto, text.setStyle {justify: "auto"}); the Paragraph
panel highlights the resolved alignment and has an Automatic alignment
toggle. Explicit alignments, and older documents', are kept.
- SVG export outlines bidirectional text (with a warning) until it can
be written as directional live text.
Japanese PDFs and PDF-compatible .ai files often set text in CID fonts
with no ToUnicode map, in vertical columns, and in fonts the reader
doesn't have. They came in as outlines (or as the wrong characters).
- CID fonts without ToUnicode: the character comes from the font's CFF
charset through the standard CMaps (hayro's `embed-cmaps`); Kangxi
radicals that some generators map to are unified with their ideographs
(⿓ → 龍).
- A glyph becomes live type only when the installed font draws the same
glyph: compared by box with the font of the PDF's PostScript name, or
the closest style of its family (a variable font's named instances),
whose style the type then takes. Otherwise it keeps its outline.
- Vertical columns (WMode 1, glyphs with no horizontal advance) come back
as vertical type, letter spacing as tracking; a single upright glyph is
vertical type too. Horizontal lines get tracking from the glyph
positions the same way.
- Text in a font that isn't installed keeps its outlines (what prints),
with an editable copy in a substitute font, drawn pink, on a
non-printing layer named after the missing fonts (stroke-only glyphs
included).
- Marked content other than a layer's (spans with actual text,
artifacts) no longer ends a line of type: 篳篥・龍笛・笙 came back as
three objects when one character was in a span.
- Tests in tests_live_text.rs and tests_realtext.rs.
