docs: envelopes of type held to the page, and visibility bindings

The file-format revision row for #3179 says that the page check weighs
a live envelope of type as the art it draws, that layers used though
they don't draw as the page leave envelopes of type their drawn art,
and that a slot bound to a visibility variable keeps it too, and lists
the new tests. The parity assessment's evidence says the same, and
the change gets its row and status entry there.

Part of #3179.

It now waits for that: its text slots get their type, and where VectorCraft's own envelope of that type draws as the drawn art the file saves (the same check and budget as other envelopes, seen on white and on black), it opens live in the drawn art's place, its type editable in Edit Contents, and the hidden copy goes. As with other live envelopes, the layers with one are then compared with the page, and when they don't draw as it the drawn art and the hidden type are put back: a `.ai` whose layers would open alone, without its PDF part, imports the PDF part to compare them with, and should they still not draw as it, or should no envelope of type open live, they open alone as before, with the envelopes' drawn art. Type in a font that isn't available, slots without type of their own (threaded, bound to a text variable, a wrap object, type a look draws), envelopes in a symbol's or a pattern's art, and envelopes that draw differently keep their drawn art, with the note (#3179).

 | 2026-11-10 | minor | `.ai` and EPS import: the check that keeps a live envelope or warped type only where it draws as the art saved with it renders each on its own, over nothing, and compared the pixels seen on white, where white art looks like nothing. White contents that drew somewhere else passed it and opened live in the wrong place (white warped type off its banner, in users' files). Pixels now also differ when they look different seen on black, so such art keeps its saved art, as colored art does.
