PDF and `.ai` write one page per artboard: all of them, or `artboard` (0-based) / `range` (`"1-3, 5"`, 1-based). SVG and SVGZ write one file per chosen artboard. EPS writes one file of the visible art; with `artboard`, `range`, `options.artboards` or `options: {"useArtboards": true}` it writes one file per chosen artboard, after a central file of the visible art when there are two or more, and `useArtboards: false` keeps the one file. Rasters, DXF, EMF and WMF write one artboard, or one file per chosen artboard with `options: {"useArtboards": true}`. Rasters also take `options: {"rect": [x, y, width, height]}` (page points, y down): that area of the page at the given `ppi`/`scale`, without an artboard and without changing the document; it is refused with `artboard`, `artboards`, `range` or `useArtboards`, with a non-positive or non-finite size, and for non-raster formats. `options` carries more format options (e.g. `{"quality": 80}` for JPEG). `selection: true` exports the selected objects cropped to their bounds (the reply adds their `bounds`, and reports `format` and the encoder's `warnings` as a whole-document export does); `outlineText: true` writes SVG text as paths. Template layers are left out, live effects are kept, and exporting `vectorcraft` never changes the document's path. Without `path` the bytes come back as `dataBase64`.

## Kinsoku Shori Type
`text.setFormat {kinsokuType: "pushInFirst"|"pushOutFirst"|"pushOutOnly"}` (Paragraph panel menu › Kinsoku Shori Type,
shown with the East Asian options) sets how the area type lines of the paragraphs of the selected type (or `ids`, or the
paragraphs a `start` / `end` range touches) keep the characters of their Kinsoku Set off their start and end. When the
character that does not fit on a line may not start the next one, or the character before it may not end the line,
**Push In First** sets it on the line, with the characters up to the next break the Kinsoku Set allows. The line then
closes its gaps next to CJK characters to fit its measure, however it is aligned, each gap by the same share of the em
of the character before it and by at most a tenth of that em; a line that cannot close up that much, or that holds a
tab, pushes out instead. **Push Out First** pushes in
the same way only when pushing out would leave the line more than an em, of the character before the break, short of
its measure. **Push Out Only** (the default: new type and documents from before the setting) moves the
character before a prohibited line start to the next line with it. With Burasagari on, an overflowing comma or full
stop may hang outside the margin first, leaving the preceding character on the line. With Kinsoku Set None the setting
does nothing. When Push In First or Push Out First is selected and a paragraph contains a prohibited line-start or
line-end character, the whole paragraph is broken line by line, as the Single-line Composer breaks it, even if no line
ends up pushing a character in. The setting is saved
with the paragraph (`kinsoku_type` in `para`) only when it is not `pushOutOnly`, paragraph styles carry it, and Reset

### Heavy filters
Some filters do heavy but legitimate work, such as routing a plotter's pen, packing shapes onto a sheet or running a
simulation, which a minute and 50 M instructions don't cover. Such a filter declares `"budget": "heavy"` in its
manifest (only a filter may: a live effect runs whenever the document is drawn, and an exporter has an export's
budget). Each of its runs gets 1 G instructions (20 times a light run's) plus the 4,000 per input byte, and 300 s

an importer an import's). Each of its runs gets 1 G instructions (20 times a light run's) plus the 4,000 per input byte, and 300 s
(`vectorcraft_plugins::{HEAVY_FUEL, HEAVY_WALL_TIME_MS}`). Its output can't add to the budget: the host learns how
much there is only once the run has ended.

- **Warp Options (#1760):** Effect > Warp and existing Appearance effect links share the fifteen existing styles, original schematic previews, orientation choices and percent Bend/Distortion controls. Focused tests passed for real numeric entry and slider input, Preview/Cancel, immediate Enter/OK, mixed-style edits, target/slot/visibility preservation and Undo/Redo. Each applied style stays unchanged until an explicit Style choice. Original style-menu and live-preview captures were reviewed; their numeric values were supplied programmatically. Public references: [Reshaping with effects](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/reshaping-objects-effects.html) and [Using effects](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/effects.html). Warp geometry, optional Properties integration and remembered defaults are unchanged; no broader parity claim.
- **Placed gradients follow the Warp effects:** under each of the fifteen Warp styles with a bend or a distortion, a gradient placed with the Gradient tool moves and scales from the object's bounds before the warp to its bounds after it, as under Free Distort; a stroke's gradient uses those bounds inflated by the stroke. This holds for an object's own Warp and for a fill's or stroke's own, on the canvas and in Object › Expand of the fill. In a group with a Warp effect, each path's and compound path's gradients follow its own bounds, a nested group's own fills and strokes follow the nested group's bounds, and the group's own fills and strokes follow the group's bounds. In the art Pathfinder and compound shapes take, a symbol instance's Warp moves the gradients of its symbol's art by the art's bounds, and a compound shape's Warp moves its gradients by the bounds of its area. A gradient fitted to the object still fits the warped outline, and a warp with no bend and no distortion leaves the gradient exactly in place. Existing documents with a Warp effect on art with a placed gradient draw differently: before, the gradient stayed where it was while the outline changed. How gradients follow the warp is VectorCraft's own rule; what the Warp effects do to the object is described in [Reshaping with effects](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/reshaping-objects-effects.html) (effects `tests::warp_bends_when_the_warp_moves_the_outline`, `bake::tests::baked_warps_move_placed_gradients_from_the_bounds_to_the_warped_bounds`, `bake::tests::a_warp_with_no_bend_leaves_a_placed_gradient_exactly_in_place`, `bake::tests::a_fills_and_a_strokes_own_warp_move_its_placed_gradient_with_the_bounds`, `group::tests::a_groups_warp_moves_the_gradients_placed_on_its_paths_by_each_paths_bounds`, `group::tests::a_groups_warp_moves_its_own_a_nested_groups_and_a_compound_paths_gradients_by_their_bounds`, `group::tests::shape_art_moves_the_gradients_of_a_symbol_instances_art_and_a_compound_shape_with_a_warp`; render `objectfx::a_paths_gradient_moves_and_scales_with_its_warped_bounds`; engine `objexpand::a_placed_gradient_moved_by_a_warp_expands_as_the_canvas_draws_it`).

- **Distort Appearance with Transform effect options:** with Envelope Options › Distort Appearance on, a path whose Transform effect has Scale Strokes & Effects or Transform Patterns on, or copies it with a gradient, is bent as the same per-copy art it draws and expands as outside the envelope: each copy's own stroke weight, dashes, pattern placement and gradient (effects `bake::tests`). Scores and hours unchanged.
- **Fitted gradients turn with the Transform effect:** a gradient fitted to the object (not placed with the Gradient tool) turns, reflects and stretches with the object when its Transform effect rotates, reflects or scales it unevenly, as Object › Transform already does: the gradient is fixed to its fit on the geometry the effect takes, then follows the effect and the effects after it as a placed gradient does. Under moves and even scales it draws as a refit does, and a Transform effect that scales the object to nothing across leaves it fitted, with Scale Strokes & Effects or Transform Patterns on too, and on each copy. This holds on the canvas and in Object › Expand of the fill, for an object's own effects, a fill's or stroke's own, and a group's, where the gradients fitted to its paths, to its own fill, to the groups inside it and to its images' and symbol instances' own fills each fix to their own object's fit. Existing documents with such a Transform effect on fitted-gradient art draw differently: before, the gradient refit to the turned outline. The Gradient tool still shows a fitted gradient's vector at its unturned fit. How gradients follow the effect is VectorCraft's own rule; what the effect does to the object is described in [Distort and transform effects](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/manage-objects/reshape-transform-objects/distort-and-transform-effects-in-illustrator.html) (effects `bake::tests::a_fitted_gradient_turns_reflects_and_stretches_with_a_transform_effect`, `bake::tests::a_transform_effect_that_scales_to_nothing_leaves_a_fitted_gradient_fitted`, `group::tests::a_groups_transform_turns_the_gradients_fitted_to_its_members_and_its_own_fill`; render `objectfx::a_fitted_gradient_turns_and_reflects_with_its_transform_on_the_canvas`; engine `objexpand::a_fitted_gradient_turned_by_a_transform_expands_as_the_canvas_draws_it`). Scores and hours unchanged.
- **Placed gradients follow Transform and Free Distort effects:** a gradient placed with the Gradient tool moves, turns and scales with the object when the object's Transform effect moves its outline, and each copy of the Transform effect takes it as many times as it takes the transform. Under Free Distort it moves and scales from the path's bounds before the effect to its bounds after it. This holds on the canvas, in export, in Expand Appearance, in Pathfinder and compound shapes, and in Object › Expand of the fill, for an object's own effects, a group's (the own fills of the group, of the groups inside it, of a symbol's art, and of the images and symbol instances it moves, included) and a fill's or stroke's own. A gradient on a path inside a group with a Transform effect now moves with the path (#2214 moved only the gradients of type), and so does a gradient on an image's or symbol instance's own fill. When a path keeps its shape because the effect would pass the geometry budget, the group's own gradients stay in place; a hidden path in a layer, which the layer's bounds leave out, does not hold them. A freeform gradient whose points were edited moves its points in the same way. How gradients follow each effect is VectorCraft's own rule; what each effect does to the object is described in [Distort and transform effects](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/manage-objects/reshape-transform-objects/distort-and-transform-effects-in-illustrator.html) (effects `bake::tests::a_baked_transform_moves_a_placed_gradient_with_the_path`, `bake::tests::a_strokes_own_transform_and_free_distort_move_its_placed_gradient`, `bake::tests::a_fills_gradient_follows_the_effects_around_its_transform_with_options`, `bake::tests::baked_free_distort_moves_placed_gradients_from_the_bounds_to_the_distorted_bounds`, `group::tests::a_groups_transform_and_free_distort_move_the_gradients_placed_on_its_paths`, `group::tests::a_groups_transform_moves_the_gradient_of_its_own_fill`, `group::tests::a_nested_groups_own_gradient_follows_the_outer_groups_transform_and_free_distort`, `group::tests::a_groups_transform_moves_the_gradients_placed_on_an_images_own_fills`, `group::tests::shape_art_moves_gradients_with_a_transform_effect`, `group::tests::shape_art_moves_the_gradient_of_a_symbol_instances_art_with_its_transform`, `tests::art_past_the_budget_keeps_its_own_gradients_in_place`, `tests::a_hidden_path_past_the_budget_leaves_a_layers_gradients_free_to_move`, `tests::edited_freeform_points_follow_a_transform_effect_and_free_distort`; render `objectfx::a_paths_gradient_moves_with_its_transform_and_free_distort`; engine `objexpand::a_placed_gradient_moved_by_a_transform_or_free_distort_expands_as_the_canvas_draws_it`).

A `run` step, like a `command_batch` step over MCP, can use an earlier step's result (`"$1.id"`, #785); `run --commands FILE` (or `-` for standard input) reads the steps from a JSON array or JSON Lines, past the Windows command-line limit (#3147, `apps/vectorcraft-cli/tests/it/cli.rs` `run_reads_*`, `run_refuses_malformed_commands_naming_the_step`).

- `vectorcraft-js` parses JavaScript as ECMAScript 5.1 defines it, with the legacy octal forms, block functions and lenient regular expressions of Annex B, into a syntax tree with source spans; it reads the `#target`, `#include` and other preprocessor lines as directives without running them, and a script that breaks the grammar or an early-error rule gives a `SyntaxError` with its line and column. Nesting past the parser's depth limit (`Options::max_depth`, 200 by default) gives a `SyntaxError` instead of exhausting the stack. `cargo xtask test262` fetches the conformance suite at a pinned commit and parses its ES5 tests: 5,411 of 5,418 runs pass (the 7 others use `let` and `const`). This entry covers parsing; the next entry covers running scripts. Tests: `crates/js/src/tests.rs`, `crates/engine/tests/it/js_lexer_vs_scriptcheck.rs`.
- `vectorcraft-js`'s `Realm` runs ECMAScript 5.1 scripts: the parsed script compiles to verified bytecode that a non-recursive interpreter runs, with closures, `this`, `arguments`, `with`, direct and indirect `eval`, `new Function`, `try`/`catch`/`finally`, labeled `break` and `continue`, and `for`-`in` in insertion order, over a mark-and-sweep heap. Built-ins are limited to `Object`, `Function` with `call` and `apply`, `eval` and the error types. Every run is bounded by fuel, heap bytes, frames, nested host calls and an interrupt flag (smaller defaults in the wasm build), and a run that reaches a limit stops with a limit error that `try` cannot catch. `cargo xtask test262` also runs the suite's ES5 language tests that need only these built-ins: 3,074 of 3,078 runs pass (the 4 others expect the completion values of later editions). The app does not call it yet. Tests: `crates/js/src/interp_tests.rs`, `crates/js/tests/test262.rs`.
- `vectorcraft-js` has `String`, `Number`, `RegExp` and `Date` as ECMAScript 5.1 defines them (sections 15.5, 15.7, 15.9 and 15.10, https://262.ecma-international.org/5.1/), with Annex B's `substr`, `getYear`, `setYear` and `toGMTString`. `toFixed`, `toExponential` and `toPrecision` format a number from its exact decimal value, and `toString(radix)` writes any base from 2 to 36. Regular expressions (flags `g`, `i` and `m`) run on a backtracking matcher whose choice points and capture state count against the heap limit and which takes fuel for every step, so a catastrophic pattern stops at the fuel limit and 50,000 nested groups give a `SyntaxError` at the default depth limit. A string method that would build a string past the heap limit stops before it allocates. `Date` reads the clock and time zone the host sets (`Realm::set_clock`, `Realm::set_time_zone`; local time is UTC by default). `cargo xtask test262` runs the suite's `built-ins` tests for the four (https://github.com/tc39/test262): of the runs of the ES5 tests that need only the built-ins present, 1,113 of 1,169 pass for `String`, 262 of 262 for `Number`, 878 of 908 for `RegExp` and 6 of 6 for `Date`.

The array methods work on array-like objects. A method visits only the indices that exist when its range is longer than 4,096 indices and more than 8 times the properties on the object and its prototypes, so `new Array(4294967295).join("")` ends at once; a shorter range is visited index by index, holes included, and each index takes fuel. `join` writes a cycle back to an array as an empty string, `JSON.stringify` throws a `TypeError` on a cycle, and deep `JSON` nesting uses no native stack. Every loop takes fuel and every result is checked against the heap limit. `cargo xtask test262` runs the suite's ES5 built-in tests that need only these built-ins: 6,798 of 6,866 runs pass (the 34 failing tests expect rules of later editions).

Escape while a polygon, star or rounded rectangle is dragged out cancels it and puts back the side count, point count, corner radius or star ratio its Up/Down and Ctrl/Cmd changed, so the next drag, the tool's options and General › Corner Radius start from the values before the canceled drag; a drag that is let go keeps them, and an option set with `tool.setOption` during the drag stays. This is VectorCraft's own rule.
While a grid is dragged out, F lowers `rowSkew` (rectangular) or `radialSkew` (polar) by 10 percentage points and V raises it by 10; X lowers `columnSkew` (rectangular) or `concentricSkew` (polar) by 10 and C raises it by 10. Plain and Shift presses work; with Alt, Ctrl or Cmd held they do not, as for the other letters a tool takes while dragging. Each press changes the skew once and updates the preview; values stay within ±500% and remain in the tool options after release. The [default keyboard shortcuts](https://web.archive.org/web/20260726060015/https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/default-keyboard-shortcuts.html) (archived copy) list the four drag keys and a 10% change. The signs (positive values follow VectorCraft's existing skew convention, so F and X lower the stored value) and one change per press with key repeat ignored are our own rules.
While an arc is dragged out, C switches it between open and closed, F switches its base between the X and Y axes in the same box, and Up/Down raise and lower its slope by 10 within −100…100; each press switches once, and the values stay as the Arc tool's options.

F as the base switch, the arrows changing the slope, the step of 10 and one switch per press are our own rules.
While a spiral is dragged out, Alt adds or removes whole winds of four segments and Ctrl/Cmd changes the decay. The spiral's inner end keeps the distance from the center it had on the first modified drag event, while the outer end follows the pointer.

An 80% spiral has 80% of its outer radius after four segments; newly drawn spirals with the same settings wind more broadly than in earlier VectorCraft builds. Rounding the fitted count to whole winds from the count on the first Alt-only drag event, the held inner radius, the ranges (2…1000 segments, 5…99.99 % decay), Ctrl/Cmd taking precedence when both are held, and the new values staying as Spiral tool options are our own rules. Switching back to Alt uses the current count as its new base while keeping the held inner end.

The frames of threaded text share one writing direction: Type › Type Orientation (`type.orientation.vertical`, `type.orientation.horizontal`) in one frame sets every frame, threading frames gives the thread its first frame's direction, frames taken out of a thread keep theirs, and the story flows through every frame in the thread's direction.
Type › Optical Margin Alignment (`type.opticalMarginAlignment`) hangs the punctuation and letter edges at the ends of a type object's lines outside its margins: at the left of left-aligned lines, at the right of right-aligned lines, and at both ends of centered and justified lines, in point and area type of left-to-right paragraphs. Quotation marks, hyphens, full stops and commas hang wholly; asterisks, tildes, ellipses, en and em dashes, colons and semicolons hang by half; and A, V, W, Y, v, w and y hang by a tenth of their width. It is off by default and saved with the type object. Justification's Glyph Scaling leaves the glyphs that hang at their width, so they hang exactly their share, and Standard burasagari counts what hangs at a line's start as room before hanging a comma; `crates/text/src/tests/hang.rs` checks whole paragraphs with both composers, ragged, centred and justified, with Line-end Punctuation Half Width and bidirectional lines.
Optical Margin Alignment and Roman Hanging Punctuation hang right-to-left paragraphs of point and area type, and type on a path whose first paragraph runs right to left, too. Auto aligns a right-to-left line at its right, or at the end bracket of a path, so it hangs there. A right-to-left line is read from right to left: where it hangs at its left margin, `."` ending it hangs both glyphs.
The Paragraph panel menu's Reset Panel (`text.setStyle`, `text.setFormat` and `text.tabs.clear`) gives the selected type's paragraphs, or the paragraphs the Type tool's selection touches, Auto alignment, no indents or paragraph spacing, Hyphenate off with the default Hyphenation and Justification options, Auto direction, Bottom-to-Bottom Leading, the Line-end Punctuation Half Width Mojikumi Set, Regular burasagari, the Hard kinsoku set, the Every-line Composer, Roman Hanging Punctuation off, no kashidas and no tab stops, as one undo step.
The Paragraph panel menu's Kinsoku Shori Type (`text.setFormat {kinsokuType}`, with the East Asian options) picks Push In First, Push Out First or Push Out Only for each paragraph: a character the Kinsoku Set keeps off a line's start or end is set on the line, with the line's gaps next to CJK characters closed by at most a tenth of an em each to fit, or moved to the next line with the character before it. Push Out First pushes in only when pushing out would leave the line more than an em short. Push Out Only is the default, the setting is saved only when it is not, and paragraph styles carry it.

The Paragraph panel menu's Hyphenation… (`ui.hyphenation`, `text.setFormat {wordsLongerThan, afterFirst, beforeLast, hyphenLimit, hyphenationZone, hyphenateCapitalized}`) sets each paragraph's hyphenation limits: the shortest word that breaks, the fewest letters on each side of the hyphen, the most hyphenated lines in a row, a zone at the right edge where the Single-line Composer breaks before a word instead of hyphenating it, and whether capitalized words break. The defaults are words longer than 5 letters, 3 letters on each side, no limit or zone, and capitalized words hyphenated; paragraph styles and the native file keep the options.
PDF export with type as text writes the hyphen that ends a line broken inside a word as a hyphen character where the line draws it, and the file opens with the hyphen in the line's text; kashidas are drawn as paths.
The Paragraph panel's Insert Kashidas (with the Indic options; `text.setFormat {kashida}`) lengthens each Arabic word of a justified horizontal area type line with a kashida, a tatweel between its last pair of joined letters, before the word spaces widen: Short, Medium and Long kashidas are at most a quarter, half and a whole em long, Stylistic ones are whole tatweels up to an em, and None (the default) leaves the line as before; paragraph styles and the native file keep the setting.

Points in different models mix in display RGB, and a CMYK document stores the result as CMYK through the color settings.

- **Strokes:** one stroke-geometry module shared by the canvas, SVG, PDF and Outline Stroke; dotted lines (zero-length dashes draw dots or squares); arrowheads with hollow outlines, tip-on-end or extend-past-end alignment and one opacity for line and head. SVG and PDF export arrowheads, width profiles, brushes and aligned strokes exactly as the canvas draws them; Outline Stroke and the live Outline Stroke effect outline every stroke item as drawn (dashes, heads, profiles, alignment); dashes can be fitted to corners and path ends; width profiles carry through dashes, and their corners take the join. The Stroke panel edits type's character strokes, follows the stroke units (its weight presets are round values in that unit: `0.25 mm`, `0.0625 in`, `1 px`, #426; fields show four decimals in mm, cm and inches, three in points), shows mixed values blank and opens from the Control bar. A width profile library, thirty more arrowheads, and Width Point Edit with multi-select and discontinuous points. Visual bounds and clicks cover the whole painted stroke. Scale Strokes & Effects, Scale Corners and Use Preview Bounds work everywhere, and new art inherits stroke options, a graphic style or the whole last appearance.
- **Brushes (part of #852):** double-clicking a brush in the Brushes panel (or the panel menu's Brush Options…) opens Calligraphic Brush Options (Name; Angle, Roundness and Size, each Fixed, Random, Pressure, Tilt, Bearing or Rotation with its Variation; live previews of the nib and of a light–heavy–light stroke) or Bristle Brush Options (Shape and the bristle sliders); OK edits the brush and every stroke painted with it. The Paintbrush records the pen pressure along each stroke (kept with the path, saved, and joined when a stroke continues a path); a Calligraphic value on Pressure goes from value − variation at the lightest pressure to value + variation at the heaviest, on the canvas and in SVG, PDF and the other exports. Brushes saved before keep their look. Scatter Brush Options (Size, Spacing, Scatter and Rotation, each Fixed, Random between two values, Pressure from the first at the lightest pressure to the second at the heaviest, Tilt, Bearing or Rotation; Rotation relative to Page or Path), Art Brush Options (Width, Scale Proportionately, Stretch to Fit Stroke Length or Stretch Between Guides with the guides' start and end, the four Directions, Flip Along and Across) and Pattern Brush Options (Scale, Spacing, the five tiles shown, Flip Along and Across, Stretch to fit, Add space to fit or Approximate path) each have Colorization (None, Tints, Tints and Shades, Hue Shift with its Key Color picked from the art's colours) and a live stroke preview; values from files and commands are clamped to their ranges.

`.ai` symbol definitions and placed instances open as live symbols, in the Symbols panel's order; an instance of a symbol that isn't read, or whose appearance differs from its symbol's, comes in as the page draws it (`crates/eps/src/import/ai/tests.rs`).
In a `.ai` opened from its editing data, an object in a pattern's art or a brush's art with an art style VectorCraft reads opens as itself with its effects live, as an object on a layer does, and an object in a pattern's art keeps the id of a graphic style in the file's list (`crates/eps/src/import/ai/tests.rs`).
Blends and envelopes in the definitions of a `.ai`'s symbols, patterns and brushes' art count against the same per-file limits on blend layout and envelope checks as the layers' art, so a file with many definitions does not get those limits again for each one (`crates/eps/src/import/ai/read/directives.rs`).
A `.ai` or EPS whose editing data has brushes opens with the file's Calligraphic, Scatter, Art and Bristle brushes in the Brushes panel in place of the default ones, in the file's order: the Calligraphic size, roundness and angle with their variation, the Scatter size, spacing, scatter and rotation, the Bristle settings, and the Scatter and Art brushes' art. A brush library `.ai` (brushes and no layers) opens from its PDF part with its brushes, so Other Library lists them. An Art brush in Tints keeps that colorization. Pattern brushes and brushes that can't be read are left out with a note. Paths with a Calligraphic brush, and paths with an Art brush at 100% in Tints that stretches art of solid-filled paths unflipped, open as the path with the brush on its stroke, and other brushed paths still come in as their drawn look (part of #372 and #637; `crates/eps/src/import/ai/tests.rs`, `crates/eps/src/import/tests_native.rs`).

In a `.ai` opened from its editing data, a path or type object with Offset Path, Outline Object or Outline Stroke on the whole object opens as itself with those effects live, in their order and shown or hidden; on a fill or stroke of type they stay on that fill or stroke. Offset Path keeps its Offset, Joins and Miter Limit, and Outline Stroke takes its width from the stroke. An Offset Path with a setting missing, out of range or not read keeps the drawn art, as does a path with a Path effect on one fill or stroke (`crates/eps/src/import/ai/style/tests.rs`, `crates/eps/src/import/ai/tests.rs`, `crates/eps/src/import/tests_native.rs`).
In a `.ai` or EPS opened from its editing data, a Scatter brush whose last 15 numbers start with 1 comes into the Brushes panel in Tints, and each brush art section is read without its frame, an unnamed, unpainted rectangle with no settings of its own at the art's bounds (within 1/1000 pt). A wider frame stays in the art, and an art group with a state or look of its own (hidden, locked, isolated, knockout, an opacity, a blend mode, a name, a mask, a note or an appearance) stays a group (`crates/eps/src/import/ai/tests.rs`).
In a `.ai` opened from its editing data, type with Warp on the object or on one of its fills or strokes opens as type with the effect live when the live warp draws as the art saved with it. When it draws differently, or when the file's limit of checks has no check left for it, it opens as that art, and one note says how many did. Type stays live without a comparison when the saved art paints nothing or draws type of its own, in frames of threaded type, when a text variable binds it, and when its text object doesn't come in as one text object (`crates/eps/src/import/ai/envelope.rs`, `crates/eps/src/import/tests_native.rs`).

Commands are recorded in actions, listed in Keyboard Shortcuts for the user to give a shortcut, and run through `run` and MCP with their parameters checked first (a command with parameters opens a dialog from its menu item or shortcut). A run uses the plug-in's permissions (a live effect with commands may also hold `doc.write` and `state`, and gets them without a `permissions` list), is one undo step named after the command, and on failure (a trap or an exhausted instruction budget) leaves the document and the undo history as they were with an error naming the plug-in and the command.

| CJK: Kinsoku Shori Type (Push In First, Push Out First, Push Out Only) | done | Paragraph panel menu › Kinsoku Shori Type (`text.setFormat {kinsokuType}`), with the East Asian options ([Formatting Asian characters](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/formatting-asian-characters.html)); Push Out Only is the default, and a push-in closes the line's gaps next to CJK characters by at most a tenth of an em each (VectorCraft's own limit). Evidence: `layout::wrapping_tests::kinsoku_shori_type_pushes_a_closing_bracket_in_or_out`, `tests::vertical::kinsoku_shori_type_pushes_a_closing_bracket_in_or_out`, `typecmd::area_tests::kinsoku_shori_type_is_set_per_paragraph_and_saved_only_when_not_push_out_only` |
| CJK: Proportional Metrics (`palt` in horizontal type, `vpal` in vertical type) | done | #966 |
| CJK: East Asian Type units (Q, Ha) | done | Preferences › Units › East Asian Type (`unitsAsianType`, Points by default) offers every unit and Q and Ha, a quarter of a millimetre each ([Scripting Guide](https://ai-scripting.docsforadobe.dev/scripting/measurementUnits/): 0.709 pt per Q; [InDesign's unit notation](https://helpx.adobe.com/in/indesign/desktop/layout-and-grid-tools/rulers-and-measure-tools/change-ruler-measurement-units.html): `q`, `h`). The public pages do not say which fields follow it, so no field uses it yet and that waits for a source. Evidence: `q_and_ha_are_a_quarter_millimetre`, `east_asian_type_unit_*` |
| CJK: manual tate-chu-yoko | done | Character panel menu › Tate-chu-yoko (`text.setFormat` / `text.setRangeStyle {tateChuYoko}`), with Show East Asian Options: marked characters stand side by side across one em of a vertical column, squeezed to the em when wider; two or three half-width digits still do so without the mark; horizontal type keeps the mark and does not move them. Tate-chu-yoko Settings… (`ui.tateChuYokoSettings`, `{tcyUpDown, tcyLeftRight}` in points) moves a marked block up or down and right or left as one piece. Evidence: `tests_vertical::manual_tate_chu_yoko_sets_marked_characters_across_one_em`, `tests_vertical::tate_chu_yoko_settings_move_a_marked_block_up_down_left_and_right`, `typecmd::tate_chu_yoko_is_a_character_attribute_saved_only_when_on`, `typecmd::tate_chu_yoko_settings_are_character_attributes_saved_only_when_set`, `dialogs::tate_chu_yoko::tests` |
