dotCooCoo 3374d0778d Scripts: Check Script… reports what a .jsx script needs and does, without running it
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.

dotCooCoo f0810ca58b Object: Lock and Hide › All Artwork Above go through each top-level layer once
Lock › All Artwork Above and Hide › All Artwork Above went through the
objects above each selected object in its top-level layer, one selected
object at a time. For each object they looked up in a list whether it
was selected or already found, and they computed its bounds again for
each selected object below it until one overlapped it. With 100 tiles
selected under 25,000 rectangles, a release build of vectorcraft-cli
took 6.4 s for Lock, and with all of 5,001 objects selected it took
8.8 s and locked nothing.

The commands now go through each top-level layer that holds a selected
object once, and check each object that is not selected against the
bounds of the selected objects below it. The selected objects and the
objects found are kept in sets, and each object's bounds are computed
once. The objects they lock or hide, the count, the selection and the
undo step are the same as before. On the same documents Lock now takes
under 0.1 s.

dotCooCoo 35d6aa0a16 Render: pattern tiles at different scales are kept between frames
The renderer kept one tile per pattern name and ink plane, and used it
only at the raster scale it was made at: the device scale rounded up to
a power of two and capped. Two objects that paint one pattern at scales
for which the raster scale differs, such as a pattern scaled to 25%
with Transform Pattern Tiles next to the same pattern at 100%, replaced
each other's tile, and every frame rasterized both tiles again.

Tiles are now kept per pattern name and raster scale, within the tile
cache's budget of 128 MiB per thread and ink plane. When the budget
fills, the cache drops the least recently used tiles first. A tile is
still used only while the pattern's art, tile, tile type and overlap
are the ones it was made from. At 760%, with a pattern of 576 stars in
a 288 pt tile on a rectangle that fills the view, and the same pattern
at 25% on a square, release builds of vectorcraft-cli bench at
2880x1800 took a median of 26.0 ms a frame on main and 8.8 ms with this
change, with 8 threads.

dotCooCoo fb2089aaf5 macOS: the app no longer reads the menus at every step of a move, scale or shape drag
On macOS, native_menu::sync reads every row of the menus (each
command's enabled and checked state, and each label) whenever
state_hash changes, and the macOS backend updates the AppKit items
whose label, enabled or checked state changed. The hash included the
active document's revision, and Session::preview makes a new revision
at each step of a drag, so the app read every row again at each step
of a move, scale or shape drag. In a release build on an M2 Max, that
took about 1.5 ms a step with one object selected, and 13.8 ms a step
with 5,001 objects selected.

While an interaction is open, state_hash leaves the revision out.
Move, scale and shape drags, dialog previews and the font menu's
preview are interactions. The menus are read when an interaction
begins and again on the frame it ends: when a drag's button is
released, when Escape cancels a drag, when a move is dragged onto a
panel, when a dialog's preview is applied or canceled, when the font
menu's preview ends, or when a control request such as
ui.dialog.cancel ends it. They are still read on a click or a key
press during an interaction.

docs/development.md says when the menus are updated during an
interaction.

dotCooCoo 88bd4812e0 Part of #1429: path, Pathfinder and live-object commands add and remove many objects in one pass
Offset Path, Outline Stroke, the Pathfinder panel, Clean Up, Make
Blend, Rasterize and the other commands that #1429's table marks 3,
except Split Into Grid, added, removed or replaced their objects one at
a time, and so did Remove Anchor Points, Redefine Symbol and the
removal of Shaper groups whose source art is gone. Each insertion or
removal moved the later objects of the layer or group. The lookups by
id that followed walked the tree, and every fourth walk rebuilt the
lookup cache. On 25,000 rectangles a release build of vectorcraft-cli
took 29.1 s for Offset Path.

These commands now make their edits with Document::wrap,
Document::insert_beside and Document::remove_many, in one pass over the
children of each layer or group, and Outline Stroke and Expand write
each new object into the place of the object it replaces. A list that
holds an object twice, or an object and another inside it, and that was
edited without an error before, is still edited one object at a time.
The documents, selections and undo steps are the same. On the same
rectangles Offset Path now takes 1.3 s.

dotCooCoo 6f9e2d5c16 Part of #1429: Layers panel and artboard commands on many rows take time linear in the document
These commands removed, moved or copied one row or object at a time:
the Layers panel's Delete Selection, Duplicate Selection, Collect in
New Layer, row drags, Merge Selected, Flatten Artwork and Release to
Layers, and Cut Artboard, Duplicate Artboard and the Artboard tool's
Alt-drags that copy art. Each edit moved the later rows of the same
layer or group to other indices. The next lookup by id then walked the
tree, and after every fourth such walk Document::index_path rebuilt
the whole lookup cache. Release to Layers also walked the document
twice for each new layer to name and color it. With 25,000 rectangles
in one layer, a release build of vectorcraft-cli took 11.9 s for
Duplicate Selection and 17.7 s for Release to Layers.

The commands now remove, move and copy the rows in one pass over each
layer or group, with Document::remove_many and Document::wrap, and
with copy_above, the copy pass of duplicate_in, which Duplicate
Selection and the artboard copies now share. Release to Layers names
its new layers from one walk of the document. Merge Selected checks
the target layer's objects against a set of the listed rows, and
Delete Selection checks the top-level layers against such a set. In a
document whose ids are unique, the rows keep their order, new rows and
layers take the same ids, names and colors, and the selection, the
undo step and the journal are the same. A release build with this
change takes 98 ms for Duplicate Selection and 26 ms for Release to
Layers.

dotCooCoo 22e06db73d CLI: perf on Windows reports the cores busy and its working set, and the help lists --deep
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.

dotCooCoo 571289ddb6 Part of #1429: Alt-drags with the selection and transform tools copy the objects once per drag
On each pointer move of an Alt-drag with the Selection, Direct
Selection, Group Selection, Rotate, Scale, Reflect or Shear tool,
Session::preview put the drag's snapshot back and ran object.transform
with copy again, and duplicate_in copied every selected object again.
The Move, Rotate, Scale, Reflect and Shear dialogs with Copy and Preview
on copied every selected object again on each change of a value.

The interaction now keeps the untransformed copies that its first
preview with copy makes of the snapshot. Each later preview that
copies the same objects of the same snapshot transforms only those
copies. The copies keep their ids, and the document, the selection,
the undo step and the journal are the same as before. With 25,000
rectangles selected, a release build of vectorcraft-cli took a median
of 138.5 ms for each Alt-drag move after the first preview and takes
105.7 ms with this change.

dotCooCoo f4e72fe6a5 Render: raster effects are made again when patterns, symbols, images, settings or fonts change
The renderer kept the rasters of an object's drop shadows, outer glows
and filtered content (Gaussian Blur, Feather and the Photoshop-style
filters), and drew them again while the object, the zoom and rotation
and the ink plane stayed the same. The content drawn into a raster also
reads things outside the object: patterns, symbols, brushes, images,
document, layer and color settings, the knockout a group inherits, the
fonts, and the options the frame is drawn with. When one of them
changed, a renderer that had drawn the object went on drawing the
raster it had kept, made from the old values.

Each kept raster now records what its content was drawn from: which of
those things the object reads, found by walking the object when the
raster is made, and a hash of their values then. The renderer draws
the raster only while that hash is the same in the current frame. Once
a frame, the renderer hashes the document's patterns, symbols and
images. It hashes their art and pixels by the addresses of their
shared values, and it keeps weak references to those values while a
raster made with them is kept, so no other value can take one of those
addresses. A filtered raster also records the color channels its
filters split, and under De-Interlace the raster resolution.

A temporary release test timed the inputs of 400 kept rasters at about
10 microseconds a frame.

dotCooCoo 8754646784 Type: frames and paths beyond 1,000,000,000 pt hold no text, and layout limits its search for room
Opening an EPS whose threaded area type frame has a control point at
x = 8e115 failed with an internal error ("capacity overflow").
`eps_text_frames_never_panic` in `import_fuzz` found it with
PROPTEST_CASES=20000. Text layout flattens a frame to within 0.1 pt,
and for such a curve kurbo 0.13.1's `flatten` calls `reserve` for
`usize::MAX` quadratic pieces. Laying out text around a wrap shape with
such a curve failed the same way. Laying out type on a path along such
a curve panicked in kurbo's `solve_itp` ("attempt to shift left with
overflow") in builds with overflow checks, and in a release build it
did not finish within 20 s. Laying out area type in a triangle frame
that comes to a point at its top, at y = 1e20, did not finish either:
adding a lead to a baseline that large leaves the baseline where it is.

Text layout now leaves out a frame, a text wrap shape or the path of
type on a path that has a coordinate beyond 1,000,000,000 pt either
way, control points included, or a NaN coordinate in an anchor point.
Such a frame or path holds no text, and such a wrap shape is ignored.
PDF export uses the same bound (`MAX_COORD` in
`crates/pdf/src/export.rs`).

Text layout also steps a line down a frame cell at most 100,000 times
to find room for it. In a cell taller than 100,000 leads, a step is the
cell's height divided by 100,000; in a shorter cell, a step is one
lead, as before. Before this change, in a dev build, with triangle
frames that come to a point at their top, laying out text in one
2,000,000,000 pt tall took 9.8 s, and laying out a paragraph whose
Space Before is -1e300 pt in one 1,000 pt tall did not finish within
20 s.

dotCooCoo ffa948dcc3 Part of #1429: Edit and Object commands on many objects take time linear in the document
Delete, Cut, Group, Make Compound Path, Make Clipping Mask, Send to
Current Layer, Ungroup and Release Compound Path removed, inserted or
moved one object at a time. duplicate_in inserted one copy at a time;
Duplicate, Copy in the Move, Rotate, Scale, Reflect and Shear dialogs,
Transform Again after a copy, Transform Each with Copy, the perspective
copies and each move of an Alt-drag call it. Each insertion or removal
moved the later objects of the same layer or group to other indices.
The next lookup by id then walked the tree, and after every fourth such
walk Document::index_path rebuilt the whole lookup cache. Each command
did work that grew with the number of objects times the size of the
document: with 25,000 rectangles selected, a release build of
vectorcraft-cli took 7.2 s to group them and 11.5 s to copy them with
object.transform.

Document::remove_many, Document::wrap and Document::insert_beside
remove nodes, wrap them in a new node, or put nodes directly above or
in place of their anchors, in one pass over the children of each
parent. Each finds the nodes with one index_paths call, checks every id
before it changes anything, and clears the lookup cache once. The
commands above use them. The objects keep their order, the copies take
their ids in the same order, and the selection, the undo step and the
journal are the same. duplicate_in still copies one root at a time when
a root is listed twice or lies inside another root. A release build
with this change groups the 25,000 rectangles in 27 ms and copies them
in 121 ms.

dotCooCoo 412e83c825 Render: the placed art of symbol instances and inline graphics is kept between frames
The renderer drew each symbol instance by copying its symbol's art,
staining the copy for a stained instance and moving every object in it
by the instance's transform, in every frame. The copies were new
nodes, so the caches the renderer keys by a node's address (cull
bounds, path geometry, glyph layouts, live-effect geometry) missed for
every object of every instance, and the copies stayed in those caches
until they were pruned. Stroke outlines missed as well, because their
cache uses an entry only when the entry holds the node being drawn.
The renderer copied and moved the art of inline graphics in type the
same way.

The renderer now keeps the art it places in a frame cache with a
64 MiB budget, under the address of the symbol's art, the transform,
whether strokes scale with it, and the instance's stain. When the art
is a group or a layer without an appearance of its own, the renderer
copies none of it in a frame whose instances and symbols did not
change, and the objects in it hit the caches keyed by their own
address (cull bounds and paths, glyph layouts, live-effect geometry).
The stroke-outline cache keys a stroke by its address in the
appearance. In the art placed for an unstained instance, each object
without a gradient fill or stroke shares its appearance with the same
object in the symbol's art. When a symbol has two or more unstained
instances, the renderer therefore still outlines the strokes of those
objects again for each instance in every frame. Moving or restaining
an instance, or editing its symbol's art, places that art again, and
the other instances keep theirs. Other art is placed again in every
frame, as before, and so is art that holds a symbol instance, type
with an inline graphic, an image, a placed document, a blend, an
envelope, a repeat or a raster effect. Art that holds type is placed
again when the fonts change.

vectorcraft-cli bench of a symbol of eight paths (three filled and
stroked, two only filled, three only stroked) shown by 2,000
unstained instances took 51.6 ms a frame on main and 32.3 ms with
this change, at 2880x1800 on 8 threads; the same paths in 2,000
groups took 26.0 ms. The peak working set of a bench run at that size
went from 150 MiB to 83 MiB. In the tests, a renderer that keeps
placed art draws the same pixels as a new renderer, and instances
draw the same pixels as groups of their placed art.

dotCooCoo a9a7a4cddf Fix #1257: a dragged object reuses its filter and shadow rasters
Each pointer move of a drag applies the move to the interaction's
snapshot, so the dragged object is a new node in every frame. The
renderer kept the rasters of an object's drop shadows, outer glows and
filtered content (Gaussian Blur, Feather and the Photoshop-style
filters) only for the same node, so every frame of a drag ran those
effects again. On main, a moved frame of texture_drag_perf (a CMYK
rounded rectangle at 190.07% and DPI 1.5 in an 1800 x 1500 view) took
112 to 197 ms in a release build.

The canvas now renders with RenderOptions::interacting while a drag or
a dialog's preview is in progress. When an object misses its cached
raster in such a frame, the renderer takes the raster an earlier frame
made for an object with the same id, slot and ink at the same zoom and
rotation, made by the same effects from content of the same size (to
within 0.000001 pt). It draws the object's content into a raster
placed as that one was and compares the pixels byte for byte (only the
alpha under a shadow or glow). For Feather it also compares the points
of the clip outline, to within 0.000001 pt. When they match, the old
raster is drawn at the new place, rounded to a whole pixel, as a pan
draws a cached raster. Content under De-Interlace never takes a moved
raster, and a raster made over moved rasters counts as moved itself.

A frame rendered without interacting never draws such a raster, or a
raster made over one: the frame after the drag runs the effects again
and draws what a fresh renderer draws. The canvas's cache key includes
whether an interaction is in progress. On the desktop, the canvas
sends the frame after an interaction to the render worker when the
frame shown drew moved rasters. Each cached raster keeps the content it
was made from, within the existing 512 MiB budget. The pixels kept
with a filtered raster take as many bytes as the raster, and the alpha
kept with a shadow or glow takes a quarter as many as the shadow.

texture_drag_perf now renders a drag's frames as the canvas does, then
the frame after the drag, and that frame once more with every raster
cached. A moved frame now takes 20 to 26 ms, close to the 18 to 25 ms
of the cached frame; the frame after the drag takes 110 to 189 ms.

dotCooCoo 5d5e7a1dd2 PDF export: art beyond 1,000,000,000 pt is left out, so dev and test builds no longer abort
In builds with overflow checks (`cargo run`, `cargo test` and
`cargo xtask ci`), PDF export aborted the process when a number it
wrote rounded to -2,147,483,648 as an f32. pdf-writer 0.15 writes
-2,147,483,648.0 as an integer, and `Limits::register_int` overflows
when it takes the absolute value. krilla 0.8.2's `Surface` then fails
an assertion in its `Drop` while that panic unwinds.
`svg_hostile_markup_never_panics` in `import_fuzz` hit it with type
shifted 2,147,483,649 pt down. Paths, gradients, dash offsets, images
and artboards that far out hit it too, and so does a group around a
stroke wide enough to reach that far. Release builds have no overflow
checks.

PDF export now leaves out art whose coordinates or transform entries
lie beyond 1,000,000,000 in its own space or in the content stream it
is drawn into, and glyph lines whose spacing lies beyond 1,000,000,000
thousandths of an em. That covers paths and clipping paths, glyph
lines, images, gradients, strokes whose width, caps or miter spikes
reach that far, and the art and marks of a page whose artboard lies
that far, which is written blank. A dash offset beyond the bound is
written as its remainder after whole periods of the pattern.

The type's transform is now pushed inside the form that marks a fill
or stroke of type to overprint. The exporter checks what that form
holds through the type's transform, as it checks the same fill or
stroke without overprint.

dotCooCoo 44685d8798 Align: Object › Align follows Align To, and the choice is kept across restarts
Object › Align ran object.align without to, so it aligned to the key
object while there was one and otherwise to the selection. With Align
to Artboard chosen it aligned two objects to the selection's bounds,
and it left a single selected object where it was, while the align
buttons of the Align panel, the Control bar and the Properties panel
move that object to the active artboard. The Align To choice was kept
in egui's temporary memory, so it went back to Align to Selection at
each launch, and ui.inspect did not report it.

The choice is now the UiState field align_to, which the desktop app
saves with its preferences and ui.inspect reports. A saved value other
than "artboard" reads as Selection, and the other preferences still
load. Object › Align now sends the to that the align buttons send: the
artboard when one object is selected, else the key object while there
is one, else the Align To choice. With anchor points selected it sends
its parameters as before, and the points align to their own bounds.
While one object is selected, the Align To row shows Artboard. Agents'
object.align calls without to keep the engine's default.

dotCooCoo ae061eacfb Part of #394: art moved whole with direct-selected anchors follows Transform Pattern Tiles
With anchors of one path direct-selected and another object selected
whole, the arrow keys (object.nudge), path.moveAnchors and a Direct
Selection drag of the selected anchors moved that object without its
pattern tiles, whatever General › Transform Pattern Tiles was set to.
When the same object was selected on its own, the arrow keys and a
Direct Selection drag followed the preference. path.moveAnchors left
the tiles in place in that case too.

path.moveAnchors now follows the preference for the objects it moves
whole, as the transforms, Align and Distribute do. path.moveAnchors
and object.nudge also take a `patterns` param for one call. When those
objects use a pattern, the journal records the choice, and a recorded
action plays back with it. Partly selected paths still move only their
selected anchors.

dotCooCoo 307a5a6298 Layers: art moved into a hidden or locked layer, or hidden by a data set, is deselected
These commands moved selected objects into a hidden or locked layer,
or hid them, and left them selected, with the key object still set
when it was one of them:

- a row dragged into a hidden layer or group (layer.move);
- node.move into a hidden or locked layer or group;
- Merge Selected into a hidden or locked layer;
- Flatten Artwork into a locked layer;
- Collect in New Layer, when the topmost row it collects is in a
  hidden or locked layer;
- applying a data set that hides bound objects (dataset.select,
  dataset.next, dataset.prev).

They now call Selection::deselect_uneditable after the change, as
layer.setProps, layer.hideOthers and layer.lockOthers do. Every
selected object left hidden or locked is deselected, and the key
object is cleared when it is one of them. Undo restores the objects
and selects them again with the key object. A row drag into a hidden
layer and node.move into a hidden or locked layer still succeed. The
params text of layer.move, node.move, layer.merge, layer.flatten,
layer.collectInNew and dataset.select describes the deselection.

The Layers panel section of docs/mcp.md said that node.move has the
same rules as layer.move; it now says that node.move also moves a row
into a locked layer or group, which layer.move refuses.

dotCooCoo 1e76e389d2 Part of #868: PDFs saved with the reference app's editing data open from it, as .ai files do
A PDF saved with the reference app's editing data keeps that data in
streams named AIPDFPrivateData1, AIPDFPrivateData2, ..., where a .ai
file uses AIPrivateData1, AIPrivateData2, .... illustrator_data read
only the .ai names, so such a PDF opened like any other PDF: plain
groups opened ungrouped, and hidden objects and guides were missing. The
import gave no warning that the PDF's editing data went unread.

illustrator_data now reads the AIPDFPrivateData streams when the file
has no AIPrivateData1, and the PDF opens from its editing data as a .ai
file does. editingData: false still opens it like any other PDF.
has_private_data still looks for AIPrivateData keys only.

layered_ai also returns whether it read the layers. When it did, art
reaching past a PDF's page opens whole, and through_editing_data drops
the PDF importer's note that such art was clipped (PAST_PAGE_NOTE, now
public) as it drops the off-artboard note. When it didn't, both notes
stay. On main, a .ai whose editing data can't be decoded or has no

dotCooCoo be9d05b274 EPS: the PostScript reader reads many tiling patterns, spot inks and shadings in linear time
Setting a tiling pattern went through every pattern made so far to
find one with the same PaintProc, cell and color, and went through the
document's patterns again to name a new one. Each spot ink was looked
up in the list of every ink used. When the reading ended, each ink and
each pattern became a swatch after a search of all the swatches, and
the second object of each clipping group of two was looked up in the
list of every shading painted. For a file that makes n of any of these,
the searches did work that grows with n squared: a dev-profile build of
vectorcraft-cli info took 99 user CPU seconds on a file that makes
160,000 tiling patterns, 35 on one that uses 160,000 spot inks, and 3.2
on one that paints 160,000 shadings through clips.

The patterns are now kept in a hash map, under a hash of the
PaintProc's storage, the cell, and the color, tint and swatch that an
uncolored pattern is set in. A lookup compares the patterns under the
same hash, with the comparison it made before. The inks are kept in a
map by name, and the shadings are kept in a set. The swatch names go
in a set while the swatches are made. The reader's document gets its
patterns only from tiling, so the name search always ended at Pattern
n+1 after n patterns, and that name is now made directly. A pattern
whose cell has a NaN corner never compared equal to another, and it is
no longer kept for lookups. The three files now read in 1.3, 0.6 and
0.9 user CPU seconds, and the documents read are the same as before.

Tests: a program that makes 200,000 tiling patterns and uses 200,001
spot inks reads within 20 seconds, with the patterns named in order;
a pattern made again from its prototype, and an uncolored pattern set
again in a color it was set in, are the same pattern.

dotCooCoo 76ca890bb4 Path: Simplify and Add Anchor Points record no undo step when they change no path
Simplify and Add Anchor Points edited the document whenever the
selection held a path, so a call that changed no path still recorded
an undo step, emptied Redo, marked the document modified and turned
the selected live shapes into plain paths. OK in the Simplify dialog
did the same. Simplify at its default options leaves a rectangle, a
star, a line and a path with one anchor as they are, and Add Anchor
Points leaves a path with one anchor as it is.

Both commands go through edit_paths, which now computes the new paths
before it edits the document. When no path changes, the command
returns without editing the document, and the reply
({ids, before, after}) has the same form and counts as before. When
some paths change, the command replaces only those paths and records
one undo step, so a path that Simplify leaves as it is keeps its live
shape.

One line in the evidence list of docs/target-app-parity.md names the
commands.

Disable, Enable, Unlink and Link Opacity Mask and Opacity Mask Options
(transparency.setOpacityMask) edited the document whenever a target
had an opacity mask, even when every mask already had the flags the
call set. Such a call recorded an undo step, emptied Redo and marked
the document modified.

When every mask a call acts on has those flags already, the call now
returns without editing the document, whether it acts on the
selection, on id or ids, or on the object whose mask is being edited.
The reply is still null, and the journal still records the call. A
call that changes a flag on any of the masks is still one undo step.

dotCooCoo ae27cf6c2b EPS: loops under a long dash array no longer hang the import
setdash took a dash array of any length, and the graphics state kept
a copy of it. gsave, gstate, currentgstate and setgstate copied the
whole pattern with the state, currentdash made an array of it, and
each stroke and strokepath copied and scanned it. Each of these
counted as one operation against the operation budget. Under a
pattern of 1,000,000 entries, a pass of gsave grestore took 0.38 ms
of user CPU time, and a pass of strokepath on a line took 2.05 ms.
Loops of the two would reach the budget after about 1.6 and 2.8
hours.

setdash now raises limitcheck for a pattern of more than 65,535
entries, the most elements an array has in a typical PostScript
implementation (PostScript Language Reference, third edition,
Table B.1). Saved and copied graphics states share the pattern.
setdash and each stroke count each entry they read or copy as one
operation, and currentdash counts the array it makes against the
memory budget. Under a pattern of 65,535 entries, loops of setdash,
currentdash, stroke and strokepath now run out of the operation
budget, or the memory budget for currentdash, after 0.08 to 0.31
seconds of user CPU time.

Tests: a pattern of 65,535 entries is set, and a pattern of 65,536
entries stops the reading with limitcheck. Under a pattern of 65,535
entries, 4,000,000 passes of gsave grestore and 2,000,000 passes of
gstate currentgstate setgstate finish, and loops of setdash,
currentdash and strokepath run out of a budget. The test of these
loops reads each program on a thread of its own and fails when no
result arrives within 20 seconds.

dotCooCoo 9cbab1383b Paint: fill, stroke, gradient and Appearance panel commands that change nothing record no undo step
These commands edited the document even when nothing changed, so the
call recorded an undo step, emptied Redo and marked the document
modified:

- Fill, Stroke, None, Apply Last Color and Apply Last Gradient with the
  paint the objects have already, also on characters selected with the
  Type tool.
- stroke.set and stroke.setAdvanced with the options the strokes have
  already.
- paint.editGradient, paint.setGradientGeom and the freeform point
  commands when the gradient comes out as it was.
- Invert and Complement on the Appearance panel's selected row when no
  color changes.
- Swap Fill and Stroke and Default Fill and Stroke when every object
  comes out as it was.
- appearance.setItem with the values the item has or an index no
  object has, and transparency.set with an item and the values that
  item has; appearance.removeItem with indices past every stack;
  appearance.moveItem, Reduce to Basic Appearance, Clear Appearance,
  the Eyedropper (appearance.copyFrom) and appearance.transfer when
  every object comes out as it was.

These commands now return without editing the document. The replies
have the same form as before. On a graph's series or labels, a fill or
stroke that the art has already still records one undo step when the
graph does not keep that paint for them (for example after the
Eyedropper painted the art), and the graph then keeps it.

The Eyedropper test whose second copy changed nothing gives its target
a green fill first, which the copy turns red again.

One line in the evidence list of docs/target-app-parity.md names these
commands, apart from Invert and Complement.

dotCooCoo d0bb09c16f EPS: huge arcs, fine dashes and rectangle arrays in a loop no longer hang the import
The operation budget counted each operator once, however long a path
it made or read. arc and arct with a huge radius make up to about a
million curve segments, strokepath makes a piece for each dash, and
rectfill makes five path elements for each rectangle in an array.
pathbbox, clip, clippath, shfill, pathforall, gstate, currentgstate
and setgstate read or copy the whole current path or clip path, and
in an encoded user path a byte of the operator string can repeat the
next operator up to 223 times. In a loop, each pass counted a few
operations. vectorcraft-cli info was still reading each of 15 files
that run one of these in "loop" when "timeout 300" stopped it, after
28 to 128 seconds of user CPU time. With a radius of 50 instead of
2.9e30, the loop of arc ran out of the budget after 6.9 seconds of
user CPU time.

Each of these operators now counts the path elements it makes, reads
or copies as one operation each. Making or reading an element took up
to about as long as an operation in a loop of pop, and copying one
took less. strokepath also counts each entry of the dash pattern in
each period of the path. An encoded user path counts each entry of its
data array, each byte of its operator string and each operator it
runs. The 15 loops now end with "the program runs too long" after 0.06
to 2.35 seconds of user CPU time, and the loop of arc with a radius of
50 ends after 1.9 seconds of user CPU time.

Tests: a loop of each of these operators runs out of the operation
budget. The loops cover arc and arct with a huge radius, strokepath
with a fine dash and with dashes of length zero, rectfill with 2,000
rectangles, the eight operators that read or copy a path of 10,001
elements, and uappend on three encoded user paths. The tests read each
program on a thread of its own and fail when no result arrives within
20 seconds.

dotCooCoo 4a27d897ed EPS: shading functions in shared arrays no longer hang the import
A shading's Function can be an array of functions. eval evaluated every
entry of an array and the arrays inside it, with only a depth limit. An
array of 100 entries that all refer to the same array one level down,
nested that way a few levels deep, is small in memory, but each
evaluation visited about 100^levels functions, and a gradient samples
such a function 33 times. vectorcraft-cli info on a file with four
levels of 100 shared entries had used 90 CPU seconds, with a 12 MiB
resident set, when "timeout 120" stopped it. eval also counted nothing
against the operation budget: a loop that paints an axial or radial
shading counted a few operations a pass, however many functions each
pass evaluated. On a file that paints a gradient of one Type 2 function
with N 2 in "{ sh shfill } loop", vectorcraft-cli info ran for
209 CPU seconds, and its resident set reached 4 GB before the program
ran out of the operation budget.

eval now counts the functions one evaluation visits, as linear_points
counts its nodes, and raises limitcheck past 257. The PostScript
Language Reference defines a shading's function as one function
dictionary or an array of one for each color component. The reader
allows 32 components, and the depth limit allows each entry a chain of
8 functions. An array with more entries than the visits left raises
limitcheck before it is copied. Each function visited counts 8
operations against the budget: one visit took as long as 6 to 10
operations, measured with loops of pop and of a name lookup.

Tests: a shading over four levels of 100 shared entries raises
limitcheck, and the square drawn before it stays; a shading over one
array of 256 entries is drawn as a gradient, and one over 257 entries
raises limitcheck; a program that paints 2000 shadings over the
256-entry array runs out of the operation budget. The test reads each
program but the last on a thread of its own and fails when no result
arrives within 20 seconds.

the visible, unlocked objects on visible, unlocked, non-template
layers and sublayers, or in isolation mode the visible, unlocked
objects in the isolated group or layer and in its visible, unlocked,
non-template sublayers. Other Select menu commands did not use it:

- Clipping Masks, All Text Objects, Stray Points and Open Paths
  selected hidden and locked objects and the objects in hidden or
  locked groups and sublayers.
- Point Text Objects, Area Text Objects, Brush Strokes, Bristle Brush
  Strokes and the Same commands for symbols, fonts and text colors
  checked an object's own flags and its layer's, but not those of the
  groups and sublayers between them.
- Next Object Above and Below selected the object beside the selected
  one even when it was hidden, locked or a sublayer.
- A saved selection picked from the Select menu selected again the
  objects hidden or locked since it was saved.
- Direction Handles direct-selected the hidden and locked paths in a
  selected group.
- In isolation mode, the commands in the first two bullets, the other
  Same commands, All on Same Layers and a recalled saved selection
  selected art outside the isolated group or layer. Next Object Above
  and Below and Direction Handles did so only when the selection
  already held something that was not inside the isolated group or
  layer.

In isolation mode selectable checked the flags of the isolated group's
or layer's objects and sublayers, but not those of the group or layer
itself or of the groups and layers it is in. Select All, All on Active
Artboard and Inverse still selected the isolated group's or layer's
objects after it, or a group or layer it is in, was hidden or locked.

In isolation mode selectable now returns nothing while the isolated
group or layer, or a group or layer it is in, is hidden, locked or a
template layer. walk_selectable visits the objects selectable returns
and the objects inside them, leaving out hidden and locked objects
with what they hold. It visits nothing in a hidden, locked or template
layer, sublayer or group. The commands in the bullets above now select
from it. All on Same Layers takes the objects on the selected objects'
layers that selectable returns. Next Object Above and Below pass over
the objects walk_selectable leaves out, and leave the selection as it
is when none is left in that direction.

dotCooCoo db8b9bb04c EPS: closepath no longer grows the path past its limit
moveto, lineto and curveto check that the current path holds fewer
than 1,048,576 elements before they add one, and they stop the reading
with "a path has too many points" when it is full. closepath added its
element without that check. In an encoded user path, a byte of 255
runs the next operator 223 times. vectorcraft-cli info on a 622-byte
file with one uappend that runs closepath 11,150,000 times peaked at a
memory footprint of 601.9 MiB and reported "the file draws nothing".
The string operator makes strings of up to 4 MiB, and one uappend of
an operator string that long would add about 468 million elements of
56 bytes, about 24 GiB.

closepath now makes the same check before it adds its element, in the
closepath operator and in the ClosePath arm of append_user. On the
file above, the reading now stops with "a path has too many points",
and vectorcraft-cli info peaks at 62.0 MiB. A path below the limit
closes as before.

Tests: a moveto followed by 1,100,000 closepaths, and a uappend that
runs closepath 1,059,250 times, are each read between two squares.
Each reading stops with "a path has too many points" and keeps only
the first square.

Each tool switch builds a new tool, and a new Artboard tool started on
Artboard 1 whatever artboard was active. With Artboard 2 active, after
the tool was chosen with Shift+O, its toolbar button, Edit Artboards in
Properties or Document Setup, or the Artboards panel menu's Artboard
Options…, the canvas outlined Artboard 1, and Delete, Cut, Copy, the
Transform panel and Artboard Options acted on Artboard 1. The first
pointer event over the canvas, a hover included, then made Artboard 1
the active artboard for Align to Artboard and Paste in Place too.

VectorcraftApp::select_tool now starts a newly chosen Artboard tool on
the active artboard, as the Artboards panel row's Options button does.
Choosing the tool again while it is in use leaves it as it was, and the
artboards Shift-clicked into its selection stay selected.

The test makes Artboard 2 active, chooses the tool with tool.select,
and checks the tool's active option, Artboard Options, a hover over
Artboard 1 and Delete. It then presses Shift+O with two artboards
selected and checks that both stay selected.

dotCooCoo b3f832cbcd Links: Find in Folder… looks for missing linked files in a folder and its subfolders
Find in Folder… in Linked File Not Found and in the Links panel menu
looks in a folder the user picks, and in its subfolders, for the files
with the names of missing linked files, in any letter case. In the
Links panel menu it looks for the selected linked files when there are
any. It uses the folder search of the Missing Fonts dialog. Find
Linked Files lists each file it looks for with the files found for it.
A file with the size and contents saved with the link comes first. A
file of the saved size comes next when the link saved no hash or the
file is larger than 1 GB, and any other file of the name comes last.
Within each group, a file named in the same letter case comes first.
Then each file's folder names are compared with the saved path's, from
the innermost outward, up to the first one that differs, and a file
with more matching names comes before one with fewer. A file is chosen
when it is the only file found, or the only one with the saved
contents, and the user can choose another file or Don't Relink.

Relink relinks each file chosen, and each relink is one undo step.
With Copy into the document's folder, which shows for a saved
document, each image's file is copied next to the document first. The
file's name, then Name 2.png, Name 3.png and so on, are tried in turn
until one is free, which gets the copy, or is a file with the same
contents, which is used. A placed document is relinked where its file
is. The status line names the first file that fails to relink, and the
other files still relink. When Find Linked Files opens from Linked
File Not Found, the missing files left without a choice, and any that
fail to relink, go back to that dialog. On the web, Find in Folder… is
disabled in the Links panel menu, and links.findFiles can't start a
search.

- links.findFiles searches on separate threads and returns at once;
  links.findFiles {} reports the search, and {stop: true} stops it. It
  looks for at most 1,000 linked files at once: the active document's
  missing ones, or those of the objects it is given. It hashes a file
  only when a link of its name saved the file's size and a hash, and
  only when the file is 1 GB or smaller. It ends once every linked
  file has its same file, and it searches only the folders
  text.findFontFiles may search, with the same maxSeconds, depth and
  count limits.
- links.relink {copy} copies the file it is given into the saved
  document's folder and links images to the copy; a call that includes
  a placed document fails. Each name it writes is checked against the
  automation write root. text.addFontFiles and links.relink {copy}
  make their copies with fileio::copy_new, which never replaces a
  file. The text.addFontFiles params text and docs/mcp.md say which
  names are tried for a copy.
- vectorcraft-doc adds links::hash_reader, which hashes what a reader
  reads as hash_bytes hashes bytes.
- ui.findLinksInFolder is the Links panel's Find in Folder… for agents;

A click on a Layers row runs layer.setCurrent, which makes the row's
layer current whether it is hidden or locked and keeps the selection.
Object › Arrange › Send to Current Layer then moved the selected
objects into that layer, or into a sublayer of a hidden or locked

and since #1039 they fail with "the target layer is locked or hidden"
when no layer is shown and unlocked.

Send to Current Layer now fails with that error when the current layer
is hidden or locked, or is inside a hidden or locked layer. It makes
the check that DocState::target_parent makes for new art
(Document::is_editable) before it moves anything or records an undo

Transform Again kept only the last transform's matrix and its Copy
flag. After a Selection tool handle drag resized area type, Transform
Again scaled the type instead of resizing the type area again. After
Move, Rotate, Scale, Reflect or Shear with Transform Patterns set
differently from General › Transform Pattern Tiles, Transform Again
followed the preference, and after a scale whose strokes or corners
param differed from Scale Strokes & Effects or Scale Corners, it
followed those preferences. A recorded Transform Again played back
with the preferences in effect at playback, although its step records
the strokes, corners and patterns values it used.

last_transform now keeps the options with the matrix, as
last_perspective keeps the perspective.transform params.
apply_transform stores the copy, typeAreas and patterns values a
transform command used, and strokes and corners when it scales.
commit_interaction stores the params of a drag's last object.transform
preview with the values that preview noted. object.transformAgain
passes the options to the transform it repeats, and a true or false
value given in its own params under one of those names takes
precedence. A recorded step plays back with the values it records.

Three engine tests fail without the change: Transform Again after a
handle drag on area type, Transform Again after a Move with patterns:
false while Transform Pattern Tiles is on and after a Scale with
strokes: true while Scale Strokes & Effects is off, and a recorded
Transform Again played back with Transform Pattern Tiles on.

dotCooCoo 9ba45990ec Part of #394: new and imported documents use the Gridline every and Subdivisions preferences
Preferences › Guides & Grid › Gridline every and Subdivisions set the
grid of the documents that were open when either value changed, and of
no other document. A document made with File › New, or opened from a
file VectorCraft reads no grid from (SVG, PDF, EPS, .ai and the other
imported formats), got a 72 pt grid with 8 subdivisions, whatever the
preferences were set to. After a restart the saved values applied to no
document, because the desktop app restores the preferences at launch,
before any document is open.

file.new now gives a new document the preferences' grid, and
document.open, file.newFromTemplate and file.revert give it to a
document read from such a file. A native file, and the native document
that an SVG, PDF, .ai or EPS file carries, keep the grid they were
saved with. Changing either preference still sets the grid of every
open document.

`enveloped_type_exports_distorted_in_every_format` exports each format
twice and compares the two files without the lines that contain
`CreationDate` or `ModDate`. Two other lines of the PDF also change
with the time it was written. The XMP packet is one line that holds
`xmp:CreateDate`, `xmp:ModifyDate` and the file ID, and the trailer
holds the file ID as `/ID`. The file ID is a hash that krilla computes
over the bytes written before it, which include the dates. When the
two PDF exports were written in different seconds, these two lines
differed, and the test failed at "pdf exports are repeatable".

The comparison now also drops the lines that contain `xmp:CreateDate`,
`xmp:ModifyDate` or `/ID[`. A new check writes the PDF that
`document.export` writes, with its creation time set to Unix seconds 0
and then 1, and asserts that the comparison's filter leaves the two
files equal.

The engine's guard turns a panic inside a command into
EngineError::Internal and rolls the document back. The panic checks in
command_sweep.rs counted that error like any other error. They include
probe, which the empty-params, junk-params and structured-junk sweeps
call. The tests in import_fuzz.rs that open, place or paste a file
through a command counted it the same way. None of them reported the
panic.

Each of these checks now passes the command's result through no_panic,
which the library file tests in import_fuzz.rs already use, and the
change adds a copy of it to command_sweep.rs. A case whose command
panics now fails. The panic from no_panic reads "<command> panicked:
<message>", and the checks that print a panic's message show it. Each
check handles any other error as before.

select.toggle do (#784). It returns an error for an id that is not a
selected top-level object and leaves the key as it was. Layers,
compound-path members and objects inside another selected object are
not top-level objects. select.key {id: null} used to clear the key and
is now an error; select.key {} still clears it. select.key returns
{key}, and document.inspect and both pointer replies include the key
object as "key".

In isolation mode a Selection-tool click can pick an object that
select.key does not accept as the key: a sublayer inside an isolated
layer, a member inside an isolated compound path, or an object in an
isolated group that is also selected. The tool no longer sends
select.key {id} for such an object. When the object is already the
key, the tool still sends select.key {}, which clears the key.

A recorded action whose select.key step names an object that is not a
selected top-level object when the action plays now fails and is
rolled back, as an action with a select.set step naming a deleted
object has failed since #784.

dotCooCoo 208195765c Align: Align to Key Object makes the topmost selected object the key
With two or more objects selected and no key object, a click on Align
to Key Object in the Align panel stored Key as the Align To choice and
set no key. The align buttons of the Align panel, the Control bar and
the Properties panel then ran object.align with to: "key", which fails
with "no key object". Distribute Spacing sent the panel's spacing
value and kept the leftmost or top object in place. The stored Key
stayed until Align to Selection, Align to Artboard or Cancel Key
Object was chosen.

The button now runs select.key on the topmost selected object, the
last in paint order, whatever order the objects were selected in, and
the canvas draws that object with the key-object outline. The align
buttons in all three places and Distribute Spacing then use that key,
and Cancel Key Object clears it. A key that is already set stays the
key. With fewer than two objects selected the button is disabled, as
the Distribute buttons are. The button stores no choice, so once the
key is cleared by Cancel Key Object, by a click on the key object or
by another selection, Align To shows the stored Selection or Artboard
choice again. Cancel Key Object no longer sets that choice to
Selection.

dotCooCoo 138d9499a7 Shape Builder: a line's loose end past a crossing no longer runs out and back in most cases
Since #1035 moved linesweeper to 0.5, the sweep can cut the paths
through one crossing at points more than its tolerance (eps) apart.
The planar map merged a point only into a vertex within eps of it, so
the two passes of an open path could end on two different vertices,
and it kept them as two edges with different ends. Past the crossing,
shape_builder then returned a line's loose end as one piece that runs
out to the line's end and back, and an extra piece of the line it
crosses, about 1.4e-6 long. In live_paint, the face around the loose
end ran out along it and back, and FaceMerger::merge of the faces
returned a second subpath along it. pieces_cut_out_of_their_inputs
fails on main for such an input.

The map now joins the ends of pieces whose middles and ends lie within
16 eps of each other. The two passes then share their ends and become
one edge. The new test is the failing input proptest saved for the
property. Lines that slope close to -1/32 in the document are nearly
level in the sweep's frame, and the change does not cover all of them.

dotCooCoo b1f3c819b4 Part of #394: art moved or duplicated with an artboard follows Transform Pattern Tiles
artboard.move with moveArt (the Artboard tool's drag of one artboard or
several and, with copy, its Alt-drag), artboard.duplicate with art and
artboard.rearrange with moveArtwork moved the art, or its copies,
without their pattern tiles, whatever General › Transform Pattern Tiles
was set to. They now follow the preference as the transforms and
artboard.setProps do: with it on, pattern fills and strokes move with
the art. Each also takes a `patterns` param for one call. When the art
uses a pattern, the journal records the choice, and a recorded action
plays back with it.

dotCooCoo cf583304d1 Object: Lock, Transform Each, Perspective and other commands that change nothing record no undo step
These commands edited the document even when nothing changed, so the
call recorded an undo step, emptied Redo and marked the document
modified:

- All Artwork Above and Other Layers (Object › Lock and
  Object › Hide) with nothing to lock or hide: no object above the
  selection, no other layer, or every one already locked (Lock) or
  hidden (Hide).
- Transform Each with no object to transform, and without Copy when
  both scales are 100% and there is no move, rotation or reflection.
- Rearrange All Artboards when no artboard moves, or with no artboard.
- stroke.widthPoint.set and stroke.widthPoint.copy when the profile
  comes out as it was, and stroke.widthProfile.set with the profile the
  strokes have already.
- Liquify when the stroke reshapes no path, and Puppet Warp given the
  pins the art holds already (rest: true), or without rest when every
  pin stays where it is and turns the art by 0° or is free.
- Define Perspective Grid with the grid the document has, Attach to
  Active Plane with no object, Release with Perspective on art that is
  not in perspective, Move Plane to where the plane is, without copies,
  and Move Plane to Match Object when the plane is there and active
  already.
- Move, Nudge and Transform in Perspective without Copy when no object
  moves (1e-9 pt or less along the plane or its normal, Snap to Grid
  included, or the identity), and Transform Again after one.

These commands now return without editing the document. The replies
have the same form as before. Transform Each with Copy and no object
to transform no longer empties the selection. Puppet Warp without rest,
with every pin where it is and turning the art by 0° or free, no longer
turns a live shape into a plain path. All Artwork Above still deselects
selected objects that are hidden or locked. Width Point counts a change
of 1e-9 or less in a point's place or width factor (its width over half
the stroke weight) as none. OK in Width Point Edit with the widths it
shows, with or without Adjust Adjoining Width Points, records no undo
step. After a move in perspective that moved nothing, Transform Again
repeats the identity.

One line in the evidence list of docs/target-app-parity.md names the

dotCooCoo 2b93e8a930 Swatches: swatch.library.save counts only the swatches the file holds
swatch.library.save replied with the number of solid colors and
gradients it was asked to save, including the gradients the format
leaves out. For a new document saved as .ase, count was 50 and the file
held 46 colors. The .gpl and .ase writers keep solid colors only, and
the CSS writer leaves freeform gradients out.

count is now the number of swatches written. The new
PaletteFormat::holds returns whether a file of a format keeps a swatch
with a given paint, and swatch.library.save counts the swatches for
which it returns true. The reply has the same fields as before.

Tests: after a freeform gradient is added to a new document's swatches,
the test checks that count has these values: 51 for .vcswatches, 46 for
.gpl and .ase, and 50 for CSS. Each file holds that many swatches.

object.setProps with visible: false or locked: true left the objects
it hid or locked selected, the key object included, and kept selected
objects inside a group or layer it hid or locked. Align then moved a
locked object, and aligned the other objects to a hidden key object.
object.lock and object.hide clear the selection, and layer.setProps,
which the Layers panel's eye and lock columns run, deselects what it
hides or locks.

After a call with visible: false or locked: true, object.setProps now
deselects every selected object that is then hidden or locked, as
layer.setProps does: the selected objects it hides or locks, selected
objects inside them, and selected objects that were hidden or locked
before the call. It clears the key object when the key is one of
them. Undo selects them again and restores the key object. A call
with visible: false or locked: true that changes nothing records no
undo step and still deselects them, as object.lock and object.hide
do. A call that sets neither, such as an opacity change from the
Control bar or the Transparency panel, leaves the selection as it is.

dotCooCoo a2abe63e8d Align, Reflect and Shear: object.align needs a direction; unknown choices are errors
object.align with neither horizontal nor vertical returned success
and moved nothing. The command palette, and a key bound to it in
Keyboard Shortcuts, run it with no params. It now returns
"give horizontal or vertical", as object.distribute already did.
An action recorded while Align ran from the palette or a bound key
contains an object.align step with no params. Playing that action now
fails at that step, and command.batch rolls back the whole action.

Values outside a parameter's choices were read as another choice or
ignored. Align ignored an unknown horizontal or vertical and aligned
to the selection for an unknown to value. Distribute read an unknown
direction as center. Distribute Spacing and Shear read any axis other
than "vertical" as horizontal, and Reflect read any axis other than
"horizontal" or a number as vertical. A bounds or to value that was
not a string fell back to the default, and a spacing that was not a
number gave automatic spacing. The commands now return an error that
names such a value, before they move anything or record an undo
step. When a to, bounds, axis or spacing value is missing or null,
the command uses the parameter's default: Distribute Spacing without
an axis spaces the objects horizontally.

The run_command description and docs/mcp.md showed object.align with
an align param it does not have; they now use horizontal. The new
status-bar messages have rows in the de, es, fr, it, ja, ru and uk
catalogs.

dotCooCoo 8e4158b364 Align: Align to Artboard uses the active artboard
Align to Artboard aligned the selection to the artboard under its
center, or to the first artboard when no artboard was under the
center. A press with a selection tool inside an artboard makes that
artboard the active one (#693). With the Selection tool, a
Shift-click on an empty spot inside an artboard also makes it active
and keeps the selection. Align to Artboard did not use the active
artboard.

object.align takes artboard, a 0-based artboard index, and uses it
when its to param is "artboard". The app passes its active artboard,
the one the Artboards panel highlights, to each object.align it runs
that names none, as it does for Paste in Place, Paste in Front, Paste
in Back (#693) and Select › All on Active Artboard (#1006). MCP calls
in remote mode also get it. Without artboard (headless MCP and the
CLI), or with an index the document doesn't have, object.align aligns
to the artboard under the center of the selection, or to the first
artboard when no artboard is under the center.

command.batch takes artboard too, and the app passes it the active
artboard. The batch passes it on to each step of these five commands
that names none, when the step runs. When the document a step runs in
has no artboard at that index (for example, after an earlier step
deleted the active artboard when it was the last one), the step gets
that document's last artboard. A step in a document that an earlier
step opened, created or switched to gets the same index, not that
document's own active artboard.

With Align to Selection, one selected object aligned from the Align
panel, the Control bar or the Properties panel is aligned to the
active artboard too, unless it is the key object.

Recorded actions leave out the artboard that the app passes to these
commands and to the batch. The Actions panel plays an action as a
batch. Its Align to Artboard, All on Active Artboard and in-place
paste steps that name no artboard use the artboard that is active
when it plays, and the default Center on Artboard action now centers
on the active artboard. In-place paste steps recorded since #693 and
before this change still paste onto the artboard that was active when
they were recorded.

Tests cover object.align with and without artboard on three artboards;
a Shift-click that makes an artboard active, after which Align to
Artboard aligns to that artboard but keeps an artboard the call names;
a batch that passes its artboard to each step when the step runs,
after a step deletes the last artboard and in a new document; recorded
actions that leave the artboard out; and recorded Align to Artboard
and Paste in Place steps and the default Center on Artboard action,
which play on the artboard that is active when they play.

dotCooCoo a8eb9024da Align: a key object needs two or more selected objects
Selecting two objects, clicking one to make it the key object and then
Shift-clicking the other left the remaining object as the key. The
canvas still drew that object with the thick key-object outline. The
Align panel aligned the object to itself, so the object did not move.

The key is now cleared after any change that leaves no other selected
object outside it, such as a Shift-click, or hiding or deleting the
other object's row in the Layers panel. On a single selected object,
or on a group selected with only its own members, select.key sets no
key.

With one object selected and Align to Key Object chosen, the Align
panel, the Control bar and the Properties panel ran object.align with
to: "key", which fails with "no key object" when the selection has no
key. All three now align a single selected object to the artboard
whatever Align To is set to.

dotCooCoo 05bc89827b Drops: libraries, presets and plug-ins open on a drop, as File › Open opens them
With a document open, the desktop app ran File › Place on a swatch or
graphic style library, a Libraries panel file, a presets file or a
plug-in dropped on it. A desktop drop has no position, and without one
the app opened only documents and ran File › Place on every other file.
On the web, the app also ran File › Place on these files when they were
dropped on the canvas. File › Place can't read them, and the drop
failed with "Couldn't place X: ... not a format VectorCraft reads".

VectorcraftApp::drop_target now returns Open for these files, with or
without a drop position, and they open as File › Open opens them:
plug-ins are installed, presets are imported, swatch and graphic style
libraries open in the library panel, and a Libraries panel file is
added to the Libraries panel as a new library. A dropped library,
presets file or plug-in that has a path is added to Open Recent Files
when it opens, as File › Open adds it. io::opens_as returns the kind of
each of these files from its extension, and drop_target and
io::open_bytes both call it. The rules from #472 still apply to
documents, pictures and text. On the web the browser gives no file name
before the drop, so the app still outlines the canvas while such a file
is dragged over it.

Tests: drop_target returns Open for each of the eleven extensions, with
no position and with a position on the canvas. A .gpl dropped through
the desktop drop path loads in the library panel and is added to Open
Recent Files, and a .vclibrary dropped the same way becomes a new
library in the Libraries panel.

dotCooCoo 1819921e03 Align: a compound path or selected group that contains the key object stays in place
Align and Distribute Spacing move a selected compound path or group as
one object, and they found the key object only when its own id was
among the objects they move. When the key was inside a compound path
or a selected group, aligning to the key moved that compound path or
group like any other object, and the key moved with it. In that case,
Distribute Spacing with a spacing held the first object still instead
of the key.

The key object can end up inside a selected group or a compound path.
Dragging its row into a group in the Layers panel (layer.move) keeps
the selection and the key. A Selection-tool Shift-click on that group,
when it is unselected and directly in a layer, then adds it to the
selection (select.toggle) and keeps the key. Other ways of adding the
group keep the key as well: a Shift-click in the Layers panel's
selection column or on the group's target circle, a Group Selection
click that hits the key itself, select.add, and select.anchors or
select.anchorsMany in add or toggle mode. In isolation mode, a
Selection-tool click on one of several selected objects in the
isolated group makes that object the key. In an isolated compound
path, the same click on the outline of a selected member makes that
member the key.

Align to the key object and Distribute Spacing with a spacing now keep
in place the selected object that is the key or contains it. Both
commands look for that object among the key and its ancestors, so a
group around the key's group also stays in place. Aligning to the key
still lines the others up with the key's own bounds.

dotCooCoo 2d95ac1694 EPS: arc and arcn with huge angles no longer hang the import
arc raised its second angle by 2π in a loop until it was no longer
below the first, and arcn lowered it the same way. For an angle of
1e18 degrees that loop takes about 3e15 steps: vectorcraft-cli info
was still reading an EPS file with "newpath 100 100 50 1e18 0 arc
stroke" when "timeout 20" stopped it. For 1e308 the loop never ends:
from 2^56 radians (about 4.1e18 degrees) up, adding 2π leaves a double
unchanged. The import fuzz test eps_hostile_programs_never_panic builds
programs from tokens that include arc, arcn, 1e308 and 1e15.

arc now raises the second angle by multiples of 360 until it is at
least the first, and arcn lowers it until it is at most the first, as
the PostScript Language Reference defines them. The code works out both
sweeps from the remainders of the two angles after whole turns, and it
places the first endpoint at the remainder of the first angle. Ordinary
angles give the same arcs as before, apart from rounding in the last
digits. One case changes: when raising (arc) or lowering (arcn) the
second angle by whole turns makes it equal to the first, as in
60 -300 arc or -60 300 arcn, rounding sometimes made the old loop add
another turn and draw a full circle. Those arcs are now empty, as the
PostScript Language Reference defines them.

Tests: 1e18 0 arc, 1e308 0 arc, 0 1e18 arcn and 0 1e308 arcn draw the
arc between the angles' remainders and leave the current point at the
second angle. The test reads each program on a thread of its own and
fails when no result arrives within 20 seconds.

dotCooCoo 9ea392e6ee Tests: the command sweeps no longer skip junk scale, spacing and artboard values
The sweeps `every_command_with_junk_params` and

`object.scale`'s `sx`, `object.transformEach`'s `scaleH` or `scaleV`,
`object.distributeSpacing`'s `spacing`, or `artboard.setProps`'s `x`,
`y`, `width` or `height`. The comment above `KNOWN_BUGS`, the list of
those (command, param) pairs, referred to `#[ignore]`d repro tests, but
`bug_huge_transform_makes_document_unloadable` and
`bug_artboard_huge_props_break_svg` have no `#[ignore]` and run with the
other tests. Since 42df20ca, the commit that added the list,
`Session::edit` returns an error when an edit leaves an artboard or a
selected object with coordinates that are not finite or exceed
`MAX_COORD`, and `object.transformEach` clamps `scaleH` and `scaleV`.

The list and its two checks are removed, so both sweeps run those
cases.

dotCooCoo dc6e8a4253 Object: Align, Move, Arrange and other commands that change nothing record no undo step
These Object commands edited the document even when nothing changed, so
the call recorded an undo step, emptied Redo and marked the document
modified:

- object.align, object.distributeSpacing and object.distribute (three
  or more objects) when no object moves. With one object selected,
  Object › Align aligns it to its own bounds, so it recorded a step
  every time. Calls on objects that were already aligned or evenly
  spaced also recorded a step, including objects that an earlier Align
  or Distribute left a rounding error away from the position the next
  call computes.
- Move, Rotate, Scale, Shear, Transform and Nudge by an identity
  transform without a copy, Transform Again after one, Set Bounds with
  the current position and size, and a Selection tool drag that ends
  where it started.
- Nudge by 0 with anchors direct-selected or with only ruler guides
  selected, and Transform with nothing selected or with ids that name
  no object, with or without a copy.
- Bring to Front and Bring Forward on objects already in front, Send to
  Back and Send Backward on objects already at the back, and Send to
  Current Layer on objects already on top of the current layer.
- Ungroup, Release Compound Path and Release Clipping Mask with none of
  their objects selected, and Expand Shape with no live shape selected.
- Lock with every selected object already locked, Hide with every one
  already hidden, Unlock All with nothing locked and Show All with
  nothing hidden.
- object.setProps with the values the objects already have, or with no
  object.
- object.setLiveShape with the values the shape already has: a
  polygon's sides, angle, radius or equal sides, or a side length that
  gives exactly its current radius; an ellipse's pie, including Invert
  Pie on a whole ellipse; and a corner radius or kind that the corners
  already have.

These commands now return without editing the document, and Align and
Distribute count a move of 1e-9 pt or less on both axes as none. Such a
call records no undo step, keeps the step to redo and leaves the
document unmodified. In these cases Ungroup no longer resets the
selection, and Release Compound Path, Unlock All and Show All no longer
empty it. A Transform with a copy of no object keeps the selection.
Lock and Hide still deselect the objects. A Nudge by 0 no longer
expands a live shape whose anchors are direct-selected. The replies
have the same form as before. An identity transform still sets what
Transform Again repeats. The journal still records each call, so the
Actions panel records it as before.

When every value given to Set Bounds is the current one, it now applies
the identity transform instead of the transform computed from those
values, which can differ from the identity by a rounding error on a
rotated object or with Use Preview Bounds.

When a drag comes back to its start, the identity preview no longer
edits the document. Session::preview now advances the revision when it
undoes the previous preview, so views redraw that drag.

The undo and redo row of docs/mcp.md now notes that many calls that
change nothing record no undo step, so undo after one undoes the step
before it.

dotCooCoo 5709e636a5 Fonts: missing fonts are listed when a document opens, with Find Fonts and a folder search
When a document opens with fonts that aren't available, fonts used
only in its symbols included, VectorCraft lists them in a Missing
Fonts dialog after the missing linked file questions, one document at
a time, with Find Fonts and Close. Find Fonts opens Type › Find Font
on the first missing font of the layers' type, to replace it. After
Find Fonts or Close the dialog doesn't open again for that open; when
another dialog replaces it, it opens again once that dialog closes.

Search Fonts Folder (the Fonts folder File › Package writes next to
the document) and Find in Folder… search a folder and its subfolders
for the fonts' files, and Add Fonts copies the files the user chooses
into a Fonts folder next to the preferences. The desktop app and
vectorcraft-cli read that folder with the system's font folders. Type
› Find Font has a Find in Folder… button too when fonts the document
uses are missing. The web app shows no dialog; a status message says
how many fonts aren't available.

- text.missingFonts lists each missing family and style once,
  whatever version the document's type names, and leaves out CSS
  generic families such as sans-serif. text.findFontFiles searches a
  folder on up to 8 threads and returns at once; text.findFontFiles {}
  reports the search, and {stop: true} stops it. A search reads only
  what the font scan reads of font files (their table directories and
  name, fvar and OS/2 tables) and, on macOS, of suitcase fonts, and
  lists a file for a font only when the file makes the font resolve
  exactly. It does not enter app packages, the Program Files and
  ProgramData folders, the system's folders at the root of a volume,
  the Shared and Public folders in Users, a home folder's Library,
  AppData, Applications, snap and dot folders, a Library folder's app
  data folders or the folders the environment names for apps, and it
  skips other hidden folders and does not follow links below the
  picked folder. It ends after 60 s by default, after 10,000,000
  entries listed, with more than 1,000,000 folders waiting, after
  10,000 font files read or 1,000 kept, or once every font has a file;
  Stop and Close end it too.
- text.addFontFiles copies only files the last search found. Of
  those, it copies only regular .ttf, .otf, .ttc, .otc, .woff and
  .woff2 files and suitcase fonts with their resource fork, at most
  256 MB a file and 1 GB in all. It never replaces a file: a file with
  the same contents is kept, and when another file has that name, the
  copy gets a number (Name 2.otf). The fonts are then scanned again,
  and type set in them redraws.
- ui.missingFontsDialog and ui.findFontsInFolder open the dialog for
  agents; docs/control-protocol.md lists its fields.
- File › Package gives a font file whose name has no font extension
  the extension that matches its data (.ttf, .otf or .ttc).
- vectorcraft-text adds set_app_font_dir, which system_font_dirs
  reads, WantedFonts, which reads a font file's names as the font scan
  does, is_font_file and is_suitcase. #762 split its face reader, which
  now takes read budgets: file_face_names_within tries the suitcase
  reader first, and reader_face_names_within applies the budgets to
  each font. vectorcraft-format adds write_new_with.

dotCooCoo 975d4975ee Swatches: swatch.library.copyToUser copies a loaded library into User Defined
swatch.library.copyToUser {library} copies a library loaded from
another folder into the user library folder of the desktop app. A
.vcswatches, .gpl or .ase file is copied as it is; the swatches of a
document and a library loaded from the data or dataBase64 parameter are
written as a .vcswatches file. The copy gets a name that no file in the
folder has, and when a file with the same extension and bytes is
already there, that file is used. The library is then listed as User
Defined only. Until the app quits, commands given its loaded id use the
copy, unless another library is loaded under that id. Without a user
library folder (the web and headless sessions) the command is disabled.

A file with the same extension and bytes as a User Defined library
opens as that User Defined library. The unchanged original of a copied
.ase file is one such file. Graphic style libraries open the same way.

dotCooCoo 75f2145b92 Package: fonts found by any of their names are copied, and skipped fonts are named
File › Package and Document Info › Font Details looked fonts up with
FontDb::face and compared the face's family with the name the document
stores. A font a document named by another of its names (a PostScript
or localized name, as SVG and PDF files do) was reported as not
available and left out of the package, although the canvas drew it and
exports embedded it.

- Package and Font Details resolve fonts with FontDb::resolve, as
  text.fonts and the renderer do. A style the family lacks is still
  copied as its closest style; the report now names the style it
  copies, and Font Details lists the font as substituted, with that
  style's file and permission.
- FontFace::embeddable reads fsType as exports do (Embedding), so fonts
  that allow bitmap embedding only (bit 9), or that set the restricted
  bit together with reserved bit 0 (0x0003), are no longer copied.
  Document Info's permission labels follow the same rule: when a font
  sets more than one usage bit, the label names the most permissive
  one.
- The Package dialog and its status line name the fonts it didn't copy.

dotCooCoo 4b00c2d968 Part of #579: macOS fonts registered from other folders are listed too
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.

dotCooCoo a61d058f1b Swatches: Save Swatch Library writes swatch exchange (.ase) files
The Save Swatch Library dialog lists Swatch Exchange (.ase) as a
format, and swatch.library.save takes format: "ase" or a path ending
in .ase. Each solid color keeps its model (RGB, CMYK, Lab or Gray) and
its type (spot, global or process), and color groups stay groups.
Gradients and patterns are left out, and a tint swatch is written as
the color it shows. Without a path or user: true, the command returns
the file as dataBase64.

A swatch exchange library opens under the name of its file. When Save
Swatch Library or Save Graphic Style Library saves to a file, the save
panel suggests the Name from the dialog as the file name, as a save to
User Defined does, and the web app downloads the file under that name.
A name made only of dots and spaces, such as "...", gives the file name
Library (Library.vcswatches) in place of a hidden file.

palette_io::write returns the file's bytes. A property test writes
generated libraries and reads them back, and an import fuzz test loads
mutated copies of a file the writer wrote.

dotCooCoo e0b1f55250 Swatches: swatch exchange (.ase) files open as swatch libraries
File › Open, Other Library… and the User Defined library folder read
.ase files. Colors keep their model, global and spot colors stay global
and spot, and color groups stay groups. The library readers take a
file's bytes. On the web, File › Open passes a swatch library file to
swatch.library.load as dataBase64 instead of as lossy UTF-8 text.

Swatch and group names in a library are now unique, in .gpl files too.
Add to Swatches puts each color group of a library into one document
group when the document already has a swatch with the group's name.
The library fuzz helpers fail when a command panics.
