| 2026-11-12 | minor | M12: a sticky's text-size menu. Measured in FigJam's web app, 2026-11-12: the menu lists Small 16, Medium 24, Large 40, Extra large 64 and Huge 96 (typing 40 shows Large), a fresh sticky is Small = 16 (read twice from the size field; the 18 of 2026-11-09 did not reproduce), the note stays square to Extra large and grows taller at Huge with the same width and shrinks back at Large, choosing a size with two stickies selected sets both, and the sticky tool remembers the last size. `STICKY_TEXT_SIZE` is 16, `STICKY_SIZES` holds the table, `board.setStyle {fontSize}` sizes stickies and sets the tool's size, `board.sticky` takes `fontSize`, and the contextual bar shows a size menu when only stickies carry text (shapes keep S/M/L/XL, unmeasured). Stacks are still missing. Tests: `a_new_sticky_is_small_16`, `the_sticky_sizes_are_figjams`, `set_style_font_size_sizes_every_selected_sticky`, `the_sticky_tool_remembers_the_last_size`, `a_huge_sticky_grows_taller_and_shrinks_back`, `a_selected_sticky_has_a_size_menu_instead_of_the_size_cells` |
| 2026-11-09 | minor | M12, #2172: a board table's height change goes into its rows. Measured in FigJam's web app, 2026-11-09 (a table has no lock-proportions control and never scales proportionally): a bottom-edge drag grows only the last row, a corner drag shares the change equally over every row and column, text keeps its size, and a table stops shrinking at about 52 per cell with a row never shorter than its wrapped text. FigCraft already split a width change equally (every cell fills); the bug was height: a bottom or corner resize turned the table from hugging to fixed height, so the rows stayed at 40 with blank space below them (or were clipped when shrunk) and typing no longer grew the table. `board_table::settle_resize`, called first in the normalize pass, finds a table left at a fixed height, puts the change into the rows' minimum height (the last row, or every row when both axes changed), raises a width that is too narrow to `columns x 40`, and returns the table to hugging, so every route (drag, `node.set`, `transform.resize`, MCP, live-session peers) gives the same result, in one undo step. FigCraft's floor is 40 (FigJam's is about 52) and there are no per-column widths yet: a side drag of the right edge still splits equally where FigJam grows only the last column. Numbers unchanged. Tests: `board_tables_tests` (the bottom, corner and side drags, the floor, typing after a resize and undo, live sessions, junk). |
| 2026-11-09 | patch | M12, #2157: a sticky's text is 18 and stays 18 (measured in FigJam's web app: ten lines, then a long paragraph, never changed it; the note kept its width and grew taller). The normalize pass no longer resets a sticky's text to a size by its length (24 down to 11 before), so stickies in saved files keep their size. Size presets (Small to Huge) are still missing. Tests: `a_new_sticky_starts_at_18`, `a_sticky_keeps_its_text_size_as_text_is_added`, `a_sticky_saved_with_another_text_size_keeps_it` |
| 2026-11-10 | minor | M12, #2226 (step 1 of 4): mind maps in the document and engine. A mind map node is a board object of its own (`BoardItem::MindNode`: text with no box) and a branch is a connector marked `branch`; the map's shape is read from its branches. `board.mindMap` places a first node with three children and `board.mindMapAdd` adds a child or a sibling, each one undo step. The normalize pass lays a touched map out again from its first node (`board::settle_mind_maps`, `figcraft_doc::mind_layout`): 88 between columns, 48 between siblings, each stack centred on its parent, numbers from a FigJam file saved and decoded. Tests: `board_mindmap_tests` in doc (five) and engine (eight). Numbers unchanged (no toolbar entry yet). |
