A .fig import now links the layers of an instance to the layers of the
component they came from by the ids the file stores, instead of leaving it to
the engine to guess from names and places. Renamed slots and layers, siblings
that share a name and swapped mains keep their source link and the override
they carry.
Components that live only on the file's hidden internal pages (cached copies of
library components) are kept in the hidden library store when a visible layer
uses them, so their instances stay instances. The read-only guard for library
copies now compares the copies themselves rather than the dirty set, which an
import leaves full until the first edit.
Rebasing an instance (after detaching an outer instance or restoring a main)
follows the source chain inside the right enclosing instance, so contextual
links survive it. The last change of a GUID wins and a removed change deletes
it. Ordinary file JSON never reads the private provenance.
Importing such a file into an open document, or pasting its layers into another one, copies the cached components along (import) or leaves them behind as a missing main (paste), so no link points at a layer of the target.
component.hideWhenPublishing {ids?, on?} keeps this file's components and
sets out of the library it publishes. The model's sign of it is the name,
so the command writes it: hiding puts a "." before the name, showing takes
the leading "." and "_" away (one undo step, saved and synced like a
rename). The Assets panel's context menu on a local component toggles it
(checked while hidden) and the tile shows a crossed eye; also under
Libraries in the main menu.
A behaviour suite for the layers panel and the Assets panel written from the public documentation
(table rows with one-line derivations; rows the documentation is silent on say so and pin today's
behaviour), and the fixes it found.
- Engine suite `crates/engine/src/panels_behaviour_tests.rs` (6 tests, about 50 rows): reordering
and moving layers into frames, groups and auto layout, refused drops, renaming several layers,
show/hide and lock rules, pages and dividers, Assets folders, hidden-from-publishing names, drops.
- Panel suite `crates/ui-egui/src/layers_behaviour_tests.rs` (5 tests, driven through egui
headless): click / Shift range / Cmd-Ctrl toggle, Alt-click expand, Collapse layers, sweeping
across eyes and padlocks, the Rename layers dialog, dragging pages, dividers.
Fixes:
- Several layers dropped together in the layers panel land together at the drop point (layers
from apart split around it before).
- Collapse layers (Alt+L) keeps the rows leading to the selection open (it closed everything).
- The eye and padlock no longer vanish when the pointer reaches them (the row lost its hover to
them, so clicks could miss); dragging across eyes or padlocks sets every row passed in one undo
step. Layers inside a locked frame show a faint padlock.
- Several layers selected + Cmd/Ctrl+R / F2 / Rename open a Rename layers dialog (Match, Rename to,
Current name / Number up / Number down buttons, start value, preview) instead of renaming the top
row only.
- `object.batchRename`: `$n` counts up and `$N` down (they were swapped), `$nnn` pads, `start`
sets where numbers start/stop, `regex: true` matches a regular expression with `$1`..`$9`,
`` $` `` and `$'`, and codes work in the replacement too. Returns the new names.
- Pages: dragged up and down the list to reorder; a blank page named with a leading hyphen is a
divider (drawn as a line, never opened, holds no layers); duplicates are named "Copy of ...";
the last page that isn't a divider can't be deleted. `page.list` reports `divider`.
- Assets panel: components filed in folders by page, the frames holding them and the slash parts
of their names (folders fold away; open while searching), tiles show the last name part;
`component.list` gives each component's `folder` and `label` for agents.
- Publishing: a leading `.` or `_` keeps a component (style, collection) out of a library even
after it was published, and removing the prefix brings it back (the previous publish's choice
won before).
The engine gains the `regex` crate (already in the lock file through env_logger) for the
documented regular-expression matching.
- Variables a library adds to a collection this file extends are now a library update of their own. `library::pending` counts published variables of an extended collection's library collection that have no copy yet; `library.updates` lists them by name without an `id` (no copy yet); `library.acceptUpdates` brings them in, inheriting. Before, they only arrived with the library's next other update. The old special case in `accept_updates` is gone (the pending list now carries them).
- Extending an extended collection: a library collection that is itself an extended collection (a brand theme extending a core theme, published) can be extended in another file; values flow down the chain as each file accepts its library's updates, and every level's overrides stay. This already worked because a library's extended collection arrives as a plain copy; it is now checked end to end and documented, and the `sync_extensions` shortcut note says why local chains aren't followed (extending takes library collections only).
A file's library can be published to figcraft-server and enabled in other files by a share link (view access is enough); placing, styles, variables and library updates with overrides kept work as for local libraries, with a background check while the Assets panel is open. library.swap re-points instances, styles and variables to another library by name (one undo step, unmatched items listed). The server keeps per-file usage reports (library.usage).
Library collections can be extended in a consuming file (inherited modes, per-mode overrides with reset, extra variables; library updates keep overrides). Variables export to the REST JSON shape or CSS custom properties and import back (merged by name, validated by the REST reader, one undo step). Gradient stops and variant properties bind to variables. Also fixes clicking a gradient stop adding a new stop.
* M3: components at scale; Alt-drag to swap instances
- Synthetic design system (engine `synthetic_ds`): ~300 components (icons; button, input,
card, nav and badge sets of size x state x type x theme variants), boolean/text/instance
swap/slot properties, instances nested four deep, text and paint styles, light/dark
variables bound across it, and 2,000 instances with overrides at every level.
- Propagation: value, size and added/removed-layer edits of mains reach their copies
directly; other edits rebuild each affected instance once, inner mains first; rebuilds keep
unchanged layers shared; bound variables no longer touch unchanged layers; auto layout
re-flows only where sizes or places changed.
- Fixes: values from variables (theme switches, bound radii) are no longer recorded as
overrides; a detached variable on an instance layer is an override that survives main
edits; exposed nested instances stay exposed; swapped nested instances keep their layer
names and the ids/overrides of layers their own main adds; renamed nested instances keep
their name when detached out.
- Instance swap properties have preferred values. `instance.swapAt` / `library.swapAt` and
Alt-drop from the Assets panel onto an instance swap it (highlighted while dragging).
- Instances pasted into other files follow their mains (library copies shared, published
components used from their library, other mains left behind as a missing main).
- Assets panel lays out only visible tiles and renders thumbnails lazily with a cache
invalidated per changed component; instance panel lists components once per revision.
- `figcraft-cli perf --instances`, UI frame bench and tests in components_scale_tests.

Right-to-left and mixed-direction names in the panels: layers, pages,
Assets, tab titles, the file header and canvas frame titles show in
visual order (Unicode bidi, joined Arabic letters, mirrored brackets),
elided at their end (the left end of a right-to-left name). egui shapes
each font run itself, so shown names are laid out a cluster at a time.
Rename fields keep egui's editing and draw the shown text over it: the
caret, selection, clicks, drags and arrow keys follow what's on screen.
System fonts are added for scripts the built-in UI fonts lack.
The Typography section's text style browser: list and grid views with
each style in its own font, search, folders, this file's and enabled
libraries' styles, apply, detach, edit the typography, create from the
selected chars, hover to preview on the canvas, and "Mixed" when the
chars use several styles. Text styles now link chars (style_id on text
styles), so a range can take a style; editing what a style sets
unlinks the chars edited; files from before link on open.
Live text previews (text.preview / text.endPreview): a hovered text
style, font style or named instance and a dragged axis slider show on
the canvas without an undo step; release commits one step, Escape
cancels. ui.input sends raw window input over the control channel.
Visual QA: list markers keep the paragraph's font, renames start with
the name selected and centred, Max lines shows while truncating.

PDF export
- Vector masks clip to the mask's outline, luminance masks are luminosity
soft masks (alpha masks as before).
- Background blur: the backdrop the page draws under the layer is rendered,
blurred and cut to its shape, under the layer's vector content.
- Text hyperlinks become clickable link annotations (one per line and link).
- Frames-to-PDF shares one path (`frames_pdf`): sRGB conversion for Display
P3 files, hidden frames left out, the file name as the PDF title.
- `figcraft-cli export -o x.pdf` and `convert x.figcraft x.pdf` write the
page's frames one PDF page each.
- Tests: mask types, backdrops, links, image deduplication, page sizes in
points, hostile inputs; CLI end to end. Checked by rendering the PDFs back
to PNG and diffing against the PNG export.
Prototyping
- Model: conditional actions (if / else if / else blocks), set variable mode,
and expressions (literals, variable references, + - * /, comparisons,
and/or/not, negate) for set-variable values and conditions; walk helpers
for nested actions (remap on paste, colours, destination checks, library
copies and pruning, canvas connections).
- REST import maps CONDITIONAL, SET_VARIABLE_MODE and SET_VARIABLE with
variable references and EXPRESSION values; unsupported functions (mode
lookups) skip the action with a warning.
- The presenter runs them in order (`figcraft_engine::proto_run`); the
Prototype panel summarises conditionals, edits set-variable-mode, and
`ui.set {protoEditor}` opens an interaction's editor.

Publishing a library now includes the file's variable collections (modes,
aliases, scopes), versioned per variable and collection; variables hidden
from publishing stay out unless a published variable aliases them or a
published component binds them. Files using the library see its
collections read-only in the Variables editor and the variable pickers;
binding, aliasing or setting a collection's mode copies the variables in
as read-only linked copies, library components keep their bindings, and
"Library updates available" covers changed variables (bound layers follow).
New commands: library.importVariable, library.bindVariable,
library.aliasVariable, library.setVariableMode; variable.update takes
hiddenFromPublishing.

Slots: a frame of a main component becomes a slot property
(component.makeSlot / removeSlot, preferred components, type "slot" in
component.properties). Instances show the main's default content until
the slot is edited; from then on its layers are the instance's own
(override group "slot"): free to add, remove and reorder, kept across
main updates, variant switches, copy/paste and detach, and instances
placed there stand alone. instance.slotInsert fills a slot,
instance.resetSlot brings the default content back. Structure
protection allows edits inside slots only; drops from the Assets panel,
canvas drags, drawing and paste land in slots. UI: slot icon in the
layers panel, dashed outlines and labels on the canvas, slot property
rows with a fill menu in the properties panel, Make/Remove slot on
frames inside a main.
Nested overrides: overrides inside a nested instance survive the main
moving it into another frame (layers matched by source alone when
unique); a nested instance copied out of an instance is re-linked to
its own main with its look kept (values set by component properties
aren't overrides); plain layers copied out of instances stop mirroring
them; canvas drags can no longer pull layers out of an instance or
reorder its auto layout children. Tests for swaps, variant switches,
main restructuring, detach and copy/paste.

- Publish (`library.publish {description?, include?, exclude?}`, Libraries > Publish library…):
the file's components, component sets and styles (by default all but names starting with `.` or
`_`, or what the last publish offered) and every component and style they use go into a snapshot
with a manifest (library id, version, per-asset version stamps). An asset keeps the version it
last changed in; publishing without changes is refused.
- .figcraft: `library/manifest.json`, `library/document.json` (the snapshot) and
`library/images/<sha256>` for images only the library still uses. Older files and readers are
unaffected (extra members); a damaged library is skipped and reported when the author's file
opens. Files using a library read only these members (size-limited), never unpublished edits.
- Version history: the library entries are written and read alongside the versions (a library
survives saving with versions and reopening); restoring a version keeps what the file published.
- Enable: `library.add {path}` / `library.remove {id}` / `library.list {assets?}`; the document
keeps its enabled libraries (id, name, path, last seen version) in its data. The session caches
each library file and reads it again when it changes on disk; in the browser these commands
return a clear error (no file system).
- Use: `library.place {library, component, x?, y?}` / `library.import` copy the component (with
the components and styles it uses) into a hidden library store (a page-like root outside the
page list) as read-only main components and place an instance; instances behave like any other
(overrides, properties, variants, swap, reset, detach). `library.applyStyle` copies a style in as
a linked remote style. Editing the copies or library styles is refused; Go to main component
names the library. Importing a file's pages brings its library copies along (shared with copies
the document already has).
- Updates: `library.updates` and `library.acceptUpdates {ids?}` re-import changed copies in place
(layer ids kept, so instance overrides survive, also when layers are added); unused copies are
dropped when a library is removed or updated.
- Assets panel: each enabled library's components (thumbnails, search, click or drag to place,
shared with the local tile code) and styles (click to apply, paint swatches), collapsible per
library; "Library updates available" banner with Update; a libraries view (book button,
Libraries menu) to publish this file (choose assets, description) and add or remove library
files. Local styles in the panels list only this file's styles.
- Tests: manifest round trip and versions, add/place/update keeping overrides (incl. a structural
update), variants/swap/undo, library styles and importing pages, missing/corrupt/truncated/
oversized/never-published files; format tests for damaged and oversized members.
