A document that document.open or file.new adds during a run counts whole
toward the growth allowance: every object in its layers, symbols and
patterns, opacity masks included, and its document data.
File › Scripts › Other Script… picks a .js or .jsx file, shows a warning
that can be turned off in Preferences › General, and runs the script
against the open documents through the `vc` object. The new
`script.run` and `script.stop` commands run and stop a script over MCP.
- A run is one transaction. Each document it changed gets one undo step
named Run Script. An uncaught error, a limit or a stop puts every
document, the paint, the clipboard, menu state and preferences back.
- A command that fails inside a run, or whose result is too large to
reach the script, is undone and throws an error the script can catch.
- Files a command wrote stay on disk and the report names them, also
when the run is stopped from the quit question.
- While a script runs, other commands that change anything fail with a
busy error; MCP reports it as JSON-RPC error -32003.
- In the app the run advances one slice per frame with a Stop button in
the status bar. A run that adds a great many objects asks whether to
continue; Stop and Escape end it.
- Commands that change state outside the documents, such as prefs.*,
plugin.* and file.place.queue, are refused to scripts.

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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
text.spelling.addWord, removeWord and changeWord are Check Spelling's Add
and Edit Custom Dictionary's Add, Delete and Change; text.spelling.dictionary
lists the words. They live in craft-proof, which every language's check
reads. The desktop app and vectorcraft-cli keep them in
`Custom Dictionary.txt` next to the preferences (none without preferences);
elsewhere they last until the app closes.
text.spelling.ignoreAll is Ignore All: the active document's checks skip the
word while it is open; not saved, not undoable, and not a change to the
document's revision.

A grayscale image colorized with a fill color keeps that color outside its
appearance, so the check for art without paint treated it like an uncolorized
image and new art kept its old fill while the Fill proxy showed the color.
Count a colorize paint as paint: the image then loads like any object with a
fill and no stroke.
plugin.install and plugin.remove count an entry of grants.json that this
version can't use when it can't be removed. plugin.install stops counting
a grant it can't remove when the old module can't be written back to the
Plug-ins folder.
A filter run kept a second copy of every read-only object as JSON values.
The run now keeps where each object is in the input, and checks an output
entry against it by parsing that one object, unless the entry is `{"id": …}`
alone.
An image that reaches the decoder now counts toward the 16 MiB pixel total
even when decoding fails, so broken images use up the same total as images
that decode.
The plugin.run text, docs/mcp.md and the progress line state the paint
order and that rule, and docs/plugins.md states that a CMYK image's pixels
are sRGB. New tests cover the per-image 1 MiB, the 16 MiB pixel total and
the 16 MiB text total at and one past their values, memory-budget failures
before the plug-in starts, images that are not decoded, CMYK images
included, and leading per run.
