effect.setParams checks a Revolve before the edit, so turning a hidden Revolve back on measured
its profile after every geometry effect on the object, those after the Revolve included, and could
refuse a profile that draws. The check now measures the profile after only the geometry effects
before the Revolve, hidden or shown, as drawing does. An object holds at most one Revolve, hidden
ones included, so the check finds the same one that draws.
engine.commands, command_list and list_commands now list an inputSchema
next to schema for each command with a parameter schema. It is the same
JSON Schema 2020-12 schema with the root type "object", the form an MCP
tool's inputSchema takes
(https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2026-07-28/schema);
schema keeps the root type ["object", "null"] when no parameter is
required. A command without a schema lists neither field. tools/list is
unchanged, and the commands are still run with command_run or
run_command.
brief now leaves out schema and inputSchema as well as the params text;
a listing filtered to the command's id gives them.

With Use Preview Bounds on, the visual box of a butt-capped stroke on an
open path grew by half the stroke weight past each end of the path, where
a butt cap paints nothing. A 2 pt vertical line set to H: 10 mm in the
Transform panel drew about 9.3 mm long.
The box of an open subpath with butt caps no longer reaches past its
ends. A straight segment's box comes from the four corners of its stroked
rectangle, and a curve's box comes from the stroke at its ends and where
its tangent is square to an axis. Bevel joins, and miter joins the limit
bevels, are measured by the stroked corners, and round joins by the arc
they paint outside the turn, instead of half the weight all round. Round
and projecting caps, arrowheads, closed paths and miter tips measure as
before. Two cases can still measure larger than the stroke paints: a
curve that bends more tightly than half the weight, and a butt-dashed
path whose first or last dash is a gap, which is measured to the path's
ends.
A horizontal or vertical butt line now measures one stroke weight less
along its length in W or H, and Align places it by its end points. A
slanted line's box shrinks by less: the stroke's corners still reach
past the end points across the line. object.setBounds measures as drawn,
after each scale it tries, a butt-capped open path with a segment at a
slant, symbol instances' art included.
Each fill or stroke with its own Revolve counted the copies of its paint from zero, so an object with several of them could draw past the 256 MiB budget. They now share one count, and past it the source path draws, as for the members of a group.
effect.apply and effect.setParams on a fill or stroke now check the Revolve in that item's paint, after the item's geometry effects before it, together with the object's other items that carry a Revolve. Before, they checked the object's top fill.
docs/revolve.md marks the axis position, type handling and member paint as VectorCraft's own rules, and docs/mcp.md says how the budget is counted.
With anchors picked with Direct Selection, Edit > Cut removed only the
segments between them, so the picked anchors stayed in the path. Cut now
removes picked anchors and the segments attached to them from a path or
a compound path's member, as Clear does. Picked segments still lose only
those segments. When a path has picked segments, Copy and Cut leave out
anchors picked on its other contours, as Clear does.

Preferences > Guides & Grid gets a Lock Guides by Default checkbox
(lockGuidesByDefault), off by default. With it on, the app starts with
View > Guides > Lock Guides on. Changing the checkbox sets the lock at
once; an OK that leaves it unchanged keeps the session's lock, and
View > Guides > Lock Guides still toggles the lock for the session
without changing the preference. Reset Preferences turns it off and
unlocks guides when it was on. Headless sessions start unlocked unless
prefs.set turns it on, and older preference files read it as off.
Lock Guides works as before: new guides can still be dragged out of a
ruler or added with guide.add while guides are locked. The lock code
moves from view.guides.lock into Session::set_guides_locked so the
preference and the menu share it.

Edit Colors > Convert to Grayscale wrote the new image as an RGBA PNG, so
a PDF wrote it as DeviceRGB, in a CMYK document too. The image is now
stored as a gray PNG, with alpha only when some pixel is not opaque. Adjust
Colors with mode gray and convert does the same.
An RGB image whose pixels are already neutral now converts, and an image
already stored as gray with no visible change is left as it is.
Type sweeps as its glyph outlines and stays editable. On a group or layer every visible member sweeps about one axis on the edge of the members' bounds together, each in its own paint.
A surface now takes up to 16,384 profile points and 163,840 faces. Curves take fewer samples, down to 4, when a surface passes those limits, and the command reports the failure below that, after the geometry effects before the Revolve and with the cumulative size of its paint copies counted. Mesh export turns the walls of holes toward them. Expand Appearance works on type with Extrude as well as Revolve.
Fixes#3617
A new test changes the document in place (Arc::make_mut, with no other
holder and no change of revision) and checks the answer is measured
again: keyed on the document's address alone, it would keep the old
answer. The kept answer's doc says what it holds after the measure,
and that the fonts set the bounds of all type. Should measuring ever
ask again while it runs, it is measured without being kept, rather
than borrowed twice.
The stack overflow fixed in d5d04f868 also hit EPS export, and the
parity rows now say so. Two test docs are corrected: the fill-only
clipping is an older bug on main, and the outline-view difference runs
both ways on a few dozen hairline pixels.
The engine reads null params as {}, but engine.commands listed every
schema with the root type "object", so a client that validated a call
against the schema refused one the engine accepts. A schema with no
required parameter now has the root type ["object", "null"]. A schema
with a required parameter keeps "object", because the engine refuses
null params for it as a missing parameter. Nested objects are unchanged.
The grid is view state of each open document, with no undo step, so its schema's x-writes is session rather than the default document. A test pins x-writes for all six View commands, and the level 1 schema hash is updated.
A Transform effect with copies on a group copied each member on its own,
so one member's copies lay over the fills of the next member. Each copy
is now a whole group, the original on top and each copy below the one
before. A path's copies follow the same order. Guides are not copied,
and the copies stop at the node limit. A group with its own fill or
stroke, a clipping group and live type keep their previous copies.
Check a new call's params against the schema in execute_spec, after the
key check and before the parser, and check every command.batch step
before the first one runs. menucmds::run_raw and the two other direct
runs go through the same check. Saved steps keep keys the schema does
not name and have the values it names checked.
Limit nesting to 16 levels, cut error text and paths to a fixed length,
and copy nothing before it has passed. Treat a whole number written
with a fraction as an integer. Check declared defaults and duplicate
names once at first use.
Give the five schema errors rows in the 22 complete-message catalogs.
The answer whether Fit to Artwork Bounds has art to fit moves from a
function-local thread_local to DocState, beside any_empty_artboards, and
drops with the document. It is kept for that version of the document
(held weakly, as any_empty_artboards holds its own) and the artboards
asked about, and measured again when the installed plug-ins, whose
effects draw art, or the installed fonts, which set type drawn by its
effects' art, change: their generations are an explicit input of the
measure. A change of the selection or the view keeps it.
The test counts the measures, as the Delete Empty Artboards check's
does: a later frame, select.set and a view change keep the answer; an
edit, other artboards, and each generation measure again. Taking any
part out of the key fails it.
Flatten Transparency composited each region over white, so a blend mode
on the bare page read that white. Raster renders now draw their
background under the finished art, and the flattened color no longer
matched them: a Color Burn object on the bare page flattened to white
and rendered in its own color. The region now composites the art alone
and puts the white under it.
- Tests that relied on the white under the art now draw art under the
style (`every_builtin_style_paints_visibly_on_a_rectangle`) or compare
only whole-pixel pans with a fresh render
(`a_coarser_glow_kept_whole_draws_after_a_pan_as_made_again`).
- New tests cover every blend mode on white and blue backgrounds, a
thumbnail and the ink planes with a Screen glow, and
`over_background` at background and pixel alpha 0, 128 and 255.
A raster export filled its background into the page before the art, so
blend modes read it as art underneath: an Outer Glow in Screen mode, the
default, turned white on a white background and was missing from PNG and
JPEG files while the canvas showed it. Blending against nothing also
differed from the canvas for Difference and the other modes.
The background now goes under the finished art, in frames and in object
thumbnails. A blend mode reads only the art below it. A white object
under a Difference object still inverts.
Page Isolated Blending no longer changes a raster export on a bare page.

Direct Selection of a path, compound path or type inside a dynamic instance now applies transparency and gradient or pattern fills through the usual paint commands, and the G5 docs catch up on Overlap and Pattern auto corners.
- A custom dictionary file that is there but can't be read whole (not a
file, unreadable, or larger than the 1,000,000 bytes craft-proof reads)
is not loaded and never written over: attaching it logs why, and every
add, delete or change is refused with that reason. A missing file is
still created by the first save.
- When a save fails, the command takes back only its own change, so memory
and file agree; words the save took in from the file stay.
