An undoable command without a menu path or a default key was listed only
when every field of its params doc ended with `?`. A typed optional field
such as `on?: bool`, `ids?: [id…]` or `artboard?: index=0` counted as
required, so Fractional Widths, System Layout, Align to Pixel Grid, Embed
Image, Update Links, Delete Slices, Switch Orientation, Distribute Spacing
for artboards, Target Contents, Invert and other panel menu commands that
act on the selection could not be given a shortcut.
`runs_without_params` now reads the params doc with
`names_a_required_field`, the parser the editor already uses for menu
commands. The commands the new rule would list that set nothing, fail or
only give data back when a key runs them with no params (the panel
setters such as Fill and Character, the exports and saves without a path,
the undo group's begin and end, Create Dimension) join `NEEDS_A_PARAM`,
so they stay out of the list until the user gives one a key. New Symbol
joins it too, since the Symbols panel runs it through Symbol Options.
docs/mcp.md describes the rule and the full `NEEDS_A_PARAM` list.
49 status and error messages in the Hindi, Bulgarian, Danish,
Indonesian, Dutch, Brazilian Portuguese, Swedish and Turkish catalogs
translated the field names in brackets, such as `[subpath, anchor]` or
`[start, end]`, which the parameter documentation spells in English, or
the values an `unknown` or `bad model` message lists, such as
`(points, lines)` or `(left|right|top|bottom)`. Commands match those
values against the English words, so a user who passed the translated
value got the same error again. These rows now keep the English names
and values and translate the rest of the sentence.
A new test, translated_messages_keep_the_field_names_and_values_their_english_lists,
checks every catalog for bracketed field lists, `a|b|c` value lists and
the values listed in parentheses after `unknown` and `bad model`.
A linked image whose appearance is one Warp effect, with no opacity mask,
was saved to the .ai editing data as its drawn art, so its live Warp was
lost. It is now written with an art style of that Warp, as an embedded
image is: its bent pieces are its drawn look, and the image itself
follows on %_ lines as a placed file with its path, its folder relative
to the document's and its preview. In an opacity mask's art the copy is
embedded, with the existing warning for linked images in masks.
Opening such a file reads the image back linked, with its Warp live.
A hidden image with a Warp, embedded or linked, is now compared with its
drawn look shown, so it keeps its Warp too; before, the look drew
nothing and the image came in as its drawn pieces.
The Parametric Shape tool's center and the Slice tool's corners snapped
with Smart Guides to the bounds of the art only, so View › Snap to Glyph
had no effect on them, and neither did the anchors and segments of
paths that the other drawing tools snap to. The point dragged out from a
Parametric Shape's center did not snap at all, and neither tool showed
Smart Guides while hovering before a press.
Both tools now snap through the drawing tools' shared snapping
(DrawSnap). A Parametric Shape's center (from a drag or a double-click),
the point dragged out from it, and a slice's corners land on glyph
guides and on path anchors and segments. The guides show while hovering
and during the drag. When a ruler guide then takes a slice corner, the
Smart Guides are no longer shown. A click with the Parametric Shape tool
still draws nothing when its center snaps a few pixels from the pointer.

After Restore in the dialog Data Recovery shows at launch, the status
bar wrote the restore count over the line about the restored document's
linked files, and the warnings each copy restored with were never shown.
The status bar now shows the count followed by the first of the
restored documents' notes: each document's lines about its linked
files, then its warnings, what reading the copy left out first, named
with the document's title when more than one was restored. Hovering
the message lists them all. The count is the number of documents
restored.
The questions about each restored document's missing or modified
linked files now come one document at a time, with that document made
the current one, so a later document's question no longer replaces an
earlier one's. When a copy can't be restored, the status bar shows the
error and its hover keeps the count and the restored documents' notes.
With the Selection tool, a change in the Character or Paragraph panel to a
selected frame of threaded text now changes every frame of its story,
locked and hidden frames included, in one undo step. Before, only the
selected frames changed.
- The panels send the frames of each selected story as the command's ids:
every Character and Paragraph field, the font family menu and its
preview, Bullets and Numbers, anti-aliasing, Variable Font axes, Reset
Panel in both panels, the Tate-chu-yoko, Warichu and Hyphenation
dialogs, and the Tabs panel's stops and Clear All Tabs. A story
selected through several frames or a group is listed once.
- The fields read every frame of the story and show a value only when all
frames share it.
- Clear All Tabs is enabled when another frame of the story has stops.
- Convert to Text keeps acting on the selected frames.
* PDF import: outlined Indic glyphs keep their own stroke and transparency (#5235)
Follow-up to #6906, for two review findings on how a line kept as
outlines is joined into paths:
- Glyphs were joined when their stroke widths matched; dash, cap, join
and miter limit were ignored, so a dashed glyph took the stroke of the
solid one before it. They join only when the whole stroke matches.
- Translucent glyphs were joined into one fill, where overlapping marks
paint once instead of compositing as the file draws them. Only opaque
glyphs join.
Also records the fix in the PDF row of docs/target-app-parity.md and in
docs/roadmap.md, as AGENTS.md asks.
Tests: outlined_glyphs_stroked_differently_stay_apart and
outlined_translucent_glyphs_stay_apart (both fail without the change).
* PDF import: outlined Indic glyphs under a soft mask stay apart; check kept geometry (#5235)
Review follow-ups on #6957 and #6906:
- Glyphs kept as outlines under a soft mask were joined into one path,
so the mask was applied once to all of them where the file applies it
to each glyph. They now join only when no soft mask is active.
- The fallback tests counted outline nodes only. A new test compares the
kept outlines (element count and bounding box) with the same file
opened as outlines, so a dropped or moved glyph fails it.
Tests: outlined_glyphs_under_a_soft_mask_stay_apart (fails without the
change) and kept_glyphs_are_where_the_file_draws_them.
* PDF import: mask outlined Indic glyphs one by one under a soft mask (#5235)
Review follow-up on #6957. Keeping glyphs out of one shared path was not
enough: each path still went into the soft mask's queue and
flush_masked wrapped them all in one masked group, so a mask that is not
constant was applied once to every glyph, where overlapping glyphs
composite one by one in the file.
With a soft mask active the queued art is now drained before the first
glyph and after each one, so every glyph gets a mask of its own.
Test: outlined_glyphs_under_a_varying_soft_mask_are_masked_one_by_one
checks that each outlined glyph carries its own mask (0 of 3 without
the change).
* #6957: clarify soft-mask exception in glyph grouping docs

After Reset Bounding Box on a turned symbol instance, Break Link to
Symbol and Object > Expand gave the art a box turned with the instance's
transform again. The art's boxes now turn with the instance's own box,
so they stand square when the instance's box did, and the angles the
art has inside the symbol are kept relative to it. The group that an
instance's opacity, blending mode or opacity mask adds around the art
takes the instance's box angle instead of standing square to the page.
A reflected instance can hold a box 180 degrees from the box its
transform gives in one step; the art now takes the instance's box
there too, the same rectangle with its handles where the instance had
them.
Compound shapes and Pathfinder receive an instance's art through the
same rule.
The clip groups and clip paths that 9-slice guides make for gradient
and pattern art take the angle of the cell that places them, and the
outer group keeps the object's angle turned by the instance, instead
of standing square to the page. This also changes the result for an
instance that was never reset: a 20 degree sliced instance gave clip
groups at 0 degrees and now gives them at 20.

The Home screen gets a Learn section between Recent Files and the new-file
presets: the Quick skill guide card, which shows the Learn panel's list of
skills (learn.skills), and each tutorial under its skill, which shows the
panel at its steps (learn.show). It works with no document open and over
open documents, opens no document and never hides the panel.
The card is shared with the panel's For you tab and now shows an outline
while it has the keyboard focus.
A command that needs a whole number of 0 or more, such as `index` of
`appearance.setItem`, `anchor` of `path.removeAnchor` and
`addon.pen.removePoint`, `sourceDocument` of `edit.dropSelection`, `index`
of `document.activate` and `to` of `document.move`, answered "missing
integer `index`" (or "missing index") both when the key was left out and
when it was given as a value that is not a whole number of 0 or more, such
as "3", 2.5, -1 or true. A value that is given but is not one is now
refused with "`index` must be a whole number", the message object ids
already use. A key left out or given as null is still missing, and an
optional index such as `subpath` keeps its default. Neither error changes
the document or records an undo step.

A straight `(N) *` guide path that runs across the canvas or an artboard
opens as a ruler guide, but a hidden one (`1 Xw`) stayed a guide path.
It now opens as a ruler guide too, and every ruler guide made from such a
path keeps the path's hide, lock and name, so its Layers row shows them.
Before, a locked guide opened unlocked and a named one lost its name.
Hidden or locked guide paths that are short, slanted, grouped or `(S) *`
stay guide paths, and commented copies (`%_`) are still left out.

A swatch delete, Swatch Options edit, merge, Edit Color Group, Spot
Colors options change or Default Swatches replace run as a
command.batch step left the fill and stroke new art takes linked to the
old or deleted swatch, because the defaults were skipped whenever an
interaction was open. A batch step now rewrites them as the command run
on its own does; a live Swatch Options preview still leaves them alone,
and a failed batch or a canceled batch preview puts them back.
The same commands now also rewrite the fills and strokes of the
appearance new art takes, and record the change with their undo step,
so Undo and Redo put the paints for new art back with the swatches.
