 | M0 | Skeleton + vertical slice | ✅ done | — |
 | M1 | Selection, transform, layers, MCP (common command tools, strict keys, session resources and version-aware result hints) | ✅ mostly done (document-tab artwork drag with lossless resource transfer and one target Undo; malformed MCP app replies discard the connection without replay, #1761; bounded control socket waits and connection-slot recovery, #1726; bounded synthetic control input, #1709; no-op anchor Align keeps Undo, Redo and saved state (#1180 follow-up); transform reference point snaps to anchors/centres; rotated objects keep a rotated bounding box and their angle; Free Transform, Scale and Reflect along a rotated box pending; the Transform fields take one Tab each, the W/H link after them) | 4–6 |
 | M2 | Drawing tools + smart guides | ✅ mostly done (#3380 deletion creates independent selected path pieces and keeps bounds-fitted gradients in place; endpoint highlighting remains open; Polygon/Star exact-size count persistence, with repeated-drag, tool-switch and Cancel regression coverage; Curvature point markers without direction handles (#1236, in part); Direct Selection segment click/Delete preserves neighboring edges, #1278; Flare, Reshape, Live Corners widget dragging and per-corner radii and kinds landed, on any path's corners; Shaper rough-shape recognition and orientation steps, the remaining Pen modifier nuances; Shaper Groups with editable sources and separate fill/stroke edits landed; custom ruler origin with drag preview, active-artboard reset, relative X/Y fields and native round-trip (#1212); construction widget/refinements pending); a shape just drawn moves by its centre point and turns from the zone outside a corner with its tool still active (#5477); Tangent and straight-segment perpendicular snapping use saved Smart Guides Geometric Guides preferences and Control bar quick access (#2537), including the existing Snap to Glyph and Alignment Guides toggles (#6164); no View submenu; Copy and Cut with the Pen or Curvature tool take the anchors a Cmd/Ctrl-lent Direct Selection picked (#6123) | 12–18 |

Left: freeform gradients in SVG/PDF, mixed spot/process gradients in SVG and PDF gradients mixing a spot color with RGB or Lab stops export as stops or process colors; PDF export writes dithered gradient fills with spot stops, and Perceptual spot gradients with RGB or Lab stops other than white or more than 4,096 stops on their curve, as images in process colors; confirm the Scale Strokes & Effects default; Recolor model selection is available through the engine and MCP only (#2520); the dialog retains its existing controls; Library panels' lists (swatch, Color Book, brush, symbol and graphic style libraries) fill a taller panel above its footer (#2992; scores and estimates unchanged); Graphic Styles list fills a taller panel above its footer (#2992; scores and estimates unchanged); | Swatches list fills a taller panel above its footer (#1638; `the_list_fills_a_tall_panel_above_its_footer`; scores and estimates unchanged); 4–8 |

 | M4 | Files (native, SVG, PDF, raster, Export for Screens, clipboard interop) | Explicit editing-data import keeps oversized capped-page artboards (#6865; estimates unchanged); Save refusal continuation (#6146): ordinary Save offers Save As; unchanged format keeps options, changed format opens its Save options; cancellation/automation isolation; focused UI regressions passed, native acceptance pending; PDF authored ActualText preserved once in editable import (#6165; first-glyph line/style, bounded input; estimates unchanged); PDF export keeps harakat and zero-advance Noto Arabic dot glyphs in one compatible batch per layout line, with per-glyph vertical offsets (#6309). `crates/pdf/src/tests/realtext.rs` (`mark_text_*`) checks decoded cluster mappings, mixed Arabic/Latin/digits, contour placement against outline export, vertical columns, differing path rotations and PDF/X-1a/3/4. Editable-text import preserves authored ActualText separately (#6165), with cross-line/style layout limits; separately styled or differently rotated clusters and external viewer search/copy remain outside this export-only evidence. `.ai`/EPS type from the text document keeps its paragraphs' tab stops (#6147); `.ai`/EPS type from the text document keeps auto leading per line, its hyphenation options, and may show more of the last lines the file sets in an area frame of its own, when growing the frame by its lines' deepest descent plus 0.05 pt shows them (#6137); ✅ done (M4.14–M4.98 on 2026-10-05): Save As/Save a Copy/Revert/templates, Data Recovery and background save, SVG import and export fidelity (units, text, symbols, filters, SVGZ, Preserve Editing, SVG Options), shared guarded PDF writer and windowed reader ([pdf-backend.md](pdf-backend.md)), PDF import (colours, layers, masks, editable text, security) and export (presets, marks, bleed, ICC and output intent, raster effects, subset fonts, PDF/X-1a, X-3 and X-4, PDF layers, overprint, page thumbnails, fast web view, PDF 1.3), Place and Links, Package, EPS and DXF in and out (EPS legacy mesh corners, vector opacity masks and raster page comparison verified; closed SPLINE flags round-trip and circular paths export as native CIRCLE/ARC, #1299), EMF/WMF, TIFF/BMP/Targa/PSD/GIF/PNG-8 export, Print and print presets, slices, Save for Web, TIFF in Export for Screens and Asset Export, clipboard flavours, File Info; AF.1–AF.4 add Affinity import (native layers, artboards, vectors, text and images from Affinity 1–3 files; the embedded preview only as a warned fallback; AF.4 expands current `.af` fixtures and every-board round-trip validation); EPS Save and Save As keep an opened EPS as EPS with its page frame and complete editable VectorCraft document (2026-10-26; G9 import fidelity unchanged). Left: DWG (use DXF), PSD placement as layers, overprint read back from PDF, Affinity export, polish; SVG CSS classes survive export and repeated import in all four styling modes (#2480); current-main integration retains event attributes and scripts; SVG CSS classes survive export and repeated import in all four styling modes (#2480); current-main integration retains event attributes and scripts; PDF import: glyphs inside a marked-content span with an empty `ActualText` come in as outlines in their fill and stroke, adding no text (#6971; scores and estimates unchanged); | 3–6 (existing scope; Affinity export unestimated) |
 | M5 | Performance | 🟡 background render + caches + MT done; `vectorcraft-cli bench` and `vectorcraft-cli perf` (budget suite); opaque solid-fill knockout paths draw once in hard-edge/supersampled raster export, with analytical-AA compositing unchanged; file format v2 opens 3× faster (50k paths: 722 → 244 ms); raster effects (glows, shadows, blur, feather) no longer force the whole frame single-threaded (filtered offscreen per effect, verified equal to the single-threaded reference); Craquelure/Mosaic Tiles/Stained Glass distance searches optimized with pixel-invariance checks and the `texture_drag_perf` probe (#1257); effect-heavy demos need a clean-machine benchmark; dirty-region rendering, GPU backend spike pending | 15–25 |
 | M6 | Path operations (Pathfinder, Shape Builder, offset…) | ✅ mostly done (live compound shapes: Make, Alt-click a Shape Mode, member modes, Release, Expand (#4522); single-result Pathfinder names and SVG IDs retained (#1293); Divide open-cutting-path geometry, appearance and history verified (#1307; existing segment cap remains); Simplify preview/counts and rewritten-path component selection verified (#1272; the slider opens at the Auto-Simplify level; a Direct Selection part of a path simplifies on its own); Compound appearance and member fill-rule edits verified (#1197); Boolean precision on almost-horizontal edges fixed and the property tests made deterministic; Shape Builder gap detection, large-offset bug open); Shape Builder Gap Detection shares Live Paint’s spatial gap finder and temporary merge bridges (#2526); Custom is capped at 72 pt in the existing options dialog | 3–6 |
