Grouping for flattening joined every pair of objects whose 1 pt reach
boxes touched, transitively, so a row or grid of opaque objects next to
one see-through object became one group and was flattened with it.
Now a group holds each see-through object and every object its reach
touches. An object without transparency joins only where its reach
touches a member and it lies above that member but below the group's
topmost object, whose place the group takes, so the stacking order
stays the same. In files without transparency with Clip Complex Regions
on, art under a group within one image pixel of a member joins it too,
with the pixel size taken from the image's actual resolution. Objects in
an overlap set that includes one inside a clip group or clipping layer
keep the previous grouping.
The 1 pt antialiasing margin now goes around a group's art once instead
of once per nested group (a stroked path's plain art is a group, so it
had 2 pt).
On 3,000 stroked rectangles, 60 with a drop shadow, the Flattener Preview
counts 180 affected objects where it counted 3,000, and Flatten
Transparency with the Medium preset makes 240 flat regions and 2 images
where it made one image of the whole grid.
A library loaded from outside a confined client's read roots keeps its
`loaded/<file name>` id for the session, in ui.inspect, ui.docking and
the library commands, so an id taken from an earlier reply still finds
the same library after another library with the same file name is
loaded. swatch.library.copyToUser leaves out `path` when the file is
outside the read roots, as the saves do.
The ids come from the engine's concealed_library_ids, which now reads a
path written with either separator, counts another platform's absolute
path as outside the roots, and keeps each id in the session.
A finally block that break or continue leaves no longer keeps the saved
site of the exception it ran for. A Jump now removes the sites at or
above the stack's length, as a return already does, so a collection
after the stack grows back over that slot does not root and count the
old code.
New tests in crates/js/src/host_tests.rs: an error passed on by a
finally block that collects garbage under a 1 MiB heap is reported at
its throw; the saved site keeps direct eval code live through a
collection; a host abort inside a finally block leaves no saved site;
and break, continue and return out of a finally block drop the site.
Window › Learn and a new Explore tutorials button beside the search icon on
the app bar show and hide the Learn panel. Its For you tab holds a Get started
section with a Quick skill guide card that opens the Skills tab. The Skills tab
lists VectorCraft's own skills with their tutorial counts and empty progress
rings; a skill lists its tutorials, a tutorial shows its numbered steps, and
Back goes up one level. The tutorials live in a data catalog whose test checks
unique ids, that every named tool and command exists and that no skill is
empty.
- window.learn {show?} shows, hides or toggles the panel; showing it also
shows a hidden dock, and the panel counts as hidden while the dock is hidden
or a full screen mode hides the panels.
- learn.list lists the skills and tutorials; learn.show {tutorial} opens one.
A missing, non-string or unknown id is an error and changes nothing.
- New labels and messages have rows in every catalog. The tutorial text is
English.

Document Setup gets a Color tab with the document color mode (RGB Color
or CMYK Color), a Convert to CMYK or Convert to RGB box for a mode
change (cleared, the colors keep their numbers), and the RGB and CMYK
profiles assigned to the document, with a working-space entry for none.
When the tab changes something, OK runs document.setup, then
edit.assignProfile, then file.documentColorMode in one command.batch,
and the document's changes are one undo step. Assign Profile runs first,
so a mode change converts through the profile picked with it. An
unchanged Color tab adds no color commands, and Cancel, or OK with
nothing changed, records no undo step. A Color tab field with a value of
the wrong kind is an error, and the dialog stays open with nothing
changed. File › Document Color Mode and Edit › Assign Profile… stay
where they are.
Catalogs: "Working RGB (don't tag)" and "Assign Profile" rows in every
complete catalog, and the "`{key}` must be a profile name or null"
message in every complete-message catalog. Docs: docs/mcp.md,
docs/control-protocol.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
Save As to an EPS file showed Preview Format, Overprints and Flattener
Preset as text fields holding their ids (tiffColor, preserve, medium),
the PostScript level as a number field, and labeled every EPS option
except Use Artboards from its name ("Cmyk Post Script", "Thumbnails").
The dialog now shows the options Export's EPS Options shows. Preview,
Overprints, Flattener preset (the built-in presets, then saved ones) and
PostScript are menus of readable names. Transparent and Opaque apply to
the color TIFF preview only. Embed Fonts shows checked and disabled. The
PostScript level comes last. A pick writes the same values as before
(previewFormat "tiffColor", a built-in preset's id, a saved preset's
name, the level as a number). A value that the save would reject shows
as it is.
Every option the dialog shows has a written label. "Preview:" has a row
in every catalog, and the de, it, ja, ko, uk, vi and zh-hant catalogs
gain the menu names, which Export's EPS Options also showed in English.
Export As's Range field shows the "1-3, 5" example when emptied, as
Save As's does.
Outside Windows, a library path that starts with a drive or a backslash counts as outside the read roots, since the file access check would read it as a name in the working folder.
Each hidden id or path is replaced once, chosen from the reply as given,
so a hidden path inside another library's shown id is not replaced
again, and a readable id written with %XX escapes keeps the hidden path
it begins with. A path quoted with {:?} is matched with its quotes and
control characters escaped. A path outside the read roots that the
request sent is shown by its file name in a reply that succeeded as in
one that failed, and a path param counts with a relative path too. A
relative path is not replaced where it ends a longer path. Without a
read root, a file: URL that names another host stays in ui.inspect's
recorded steps.
Type › Dynamic Text Presets › Circle, Arch and Bow
(`type.dynamicTextPreset {preset, position?, flip?, ids?}`) put the
selected point type and type on a path on a new path of that shape and
turn Dynamic Text on, so the text is sized to fill it.
- Circle is a circle as wide as the text, the text running clockwise
from its bottom; Arch and Bow are a 120° arc whose chord is as wide as
the text, bulging up or down. The shape is upright on the page when
the object is rotated or scaled.
- `position` above, center or below sets Align to Path to Descender,
Center or Ascender; `flip` turns the text to the other side of its
path. Effect and Spacing stay.
- Area type is left as it is, threaded type on a path is refused, and a
preset that changes nothing records no undo step.

Part of #4134.
Window > Brush Libraries > Bristle Brushes holds ten original bristle
brushes generated in code, one for each tip shape: Fine Liner, Pointed
Flat, Stubby Round, Dry Scrub, Soft Dome, Filbert, Angled Round, Angled
Flat, Fan Blender and Grass Fan. Their names and values are VectorCraft's
own, and every value lies inside the range the bristle brush keeps.
A test checks the ranges, that every tip shape is covered, that no name
matches a default brush or another library's brush, that adding the
library is one undo step and a second add adds nothing, and that a saved
library reopens with the same brushes. The library and brush names have
rows in every catalog. docs/mcp.md lists the library.
A literal makes an extensible object whose properties are writable and
configurable, and an array whose length is writable. toSource wrote a
property defined with writable or configurable false, a sealed, frozen or
non-extensible object or array, and an array with a read-only length as an
ordinary literal, so evaluating the text gave an open value.
toSource now throws a TypeError for each of these, at any depth, as it
already does for getters, hidden properties and other prototypes.
Properties defined with every flag on are written as before.
Clicks, the hover pointer and marquees with the selection tools already
leave out the area that raster effects paint beyond an object. New tests
in crates/engine/src/tests/select_effects.rs hold that in place for drop
shadows, Outer Glow and Gaussian Blur on paths, groups, point type,
symbol art and images, for Shift-click, Direct Selection, the hover
pointer, a drag from a selected object's shadow and a marquee. hit_leaf
gets a doc comment, and docs/target-app-parity.md gets a line citing
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/selecting-objects.html.
Window › Graphic Style Libraries › Textures, after Hand-Drawn, holds eight
styles that paint their fills and strokes with the texture effects: Fine
Grain (Grain), Canvas Weave and Burlap Sack (Texturizer), Cracked Glaze
(Craquelure), Mosaic Floor (Mosaic Tiles), Quilted Squares (Patchwork),
Leaded Glass (Stained Glass) and Damp Paper (Water Paper). The styles,
their names and their settings are VectorCraft's own.
Each catalog has rows for the library and style names. Docs: docs/mcp.md,
docs/gaps.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
