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.

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.

Adds composefont, the CIDInit and FontSetInit procedure sets and the CMap
operators, so EPS with CID-keyed fonts (as pdftops -level3 writes) opens.
Type 0 fonts with FMapType 9 decode their codes through the CMap's codespace
ranges and CID mappings, and the Identity CMaps are predefined.
An embedded Type 1 font's eexec part is decrypted and its charstrings read,
so its glyphs and widths are used instead of the installed or fallback
font's. Codes are decoded through the font's Encoding, so fonts that place
glyphs at low codes no longer lose their type.

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.
Language per character rows in docs/type-parity.md: spelling is no longer listed as not yet done, and the hyphenation note names the languages that still lack it.
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 refused install keeps the grant, a failed write of the module to the
plug-in store leaves the grant in the store, and a stored module that is
disabled or not read in Safe Mode keeps the grant for its id. This
matches docs/plugins.md.
A grant accepted under --allow-plugin-grants is written to grants.json like a
person's approval and counts as approved in later sessions and in the desktop
app. The CLI usage text, the plugin.install params text and docs/plugins.md and
docs/mcp.md said only a person's approval in the desktop app records one.
