Fix #598 : the Free Transform widget

While the Free Transform tool (E) is active, a small box at the canvas's top left holds Constrain over the tool's three modes: Free Transform, Perspective Distort and Free Distort. Before, the modes were reachable only by modifier keys or `tool.setOption`. - The buttons set the tool's `constrain` and `mode` options through `tool.setOption`, as agents do. Constrain acts as Shift held and is greyed in the distort modes, where it does nothing. The modifier keys keep working while dragging. - Theme tokens; Constrain shows the link icon, Free Transform the tool's own icon, the distort modes are drawn in code. Tooltips translated (cs, es, it, ja, pt-br, ru, zh-hans, zh-hant). - `ui.inspect` reports where it shows (`freeTransformWidget`). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

 This file tracks **how far we are and what's left**. Time estimates are wall-clock hours of continuous Claude Opus 5.5 agent work (including builds and the CI gate), given both for **one agent** and for **4–6 parallel agents** on disjoint crates. They are counted from the remaining work (see [Parity estimate](#parity-estimate)), calibrated against measured throughput, and updated as work lands.
