Local variables: the docs say bulk actions skip inherited variables (#2002)

Delete, Move to group and Scope act on the selected local variables; inherited ones are left out and the bulk menu needs two or more local variables selected.

-| 2026-11-05 | minor | M3, #2002: the Local variables window selects several variables, as the Layers panel selects layers. A click selects one row, Shift+click the range from the anchor through the rows shown, Cmd/Ctrl+click toggles a row, Escape or a click on the empty space below the rows clears; selected rows use the sidebar's selected-row colour. Right-clicking a row that is part of a selection of several offers Delete, Move to group and Scope (all supported properties, hidden from pickers, or only one scope) for the whole selection, each sent as one `command.batch`, so one undo step; no engine command changed. Renaming and value edits stay single-row. Tests: `variables_select_tests` (headless UI). Grade unchanged |

 | 2026-11-02 | minor | M3, #1829: text styles carry paragraph spacing and indent, the list style and the OpenType features ("Supported in text styles": "Paragraph spacing and indentation", "Lists", "OpenType features", Create and apply text styles) beside the character properties: `style.create` takes them from the layer (or the selected paragraphs' list) or from a `value` (`paragraphSpacing`, `paragraphIndent`, `listStyle`, `features`), `style.apply` sets them (on a range, the list goes to the paragraphs touched; the rest is the layer's, as in Figma), `style.update` moves them on every linked layer, editing one on a styled text unlinks it as editing its font does, the style editor lists them, and a `.fig` file keeps them with the style (its sample layer). Grade unchanged. |
 | 2026-11-06 | patch | M3: a glass's light angle bound to a number past ±180 turns round to the same direction (270 is -90), as the angle drawn from it does, instead of stopping at 180. Tests: `effects_tests::a_bound_light_angle_turns_round_instead_of_stopping`. Grade unchanged. |
 | 2026-11-06 | patch | M3: a layer's effect binding (`variable.bind`, `effects/<i>/<field>`) takes only a field its effect has, as an effect style's does: `effects/0/refraction` on a drop shadow, or a binding on an effect the layer doesn't have, is refused instead of being kept and doing nothing (a binding an older file has there still does nothing, and unbinds). Tests: `binding_lists_tests::a_layer_binds_only_fields_its_effects_have`. Grade unchanged. |
