dotCooCoo 4b665ad13c Plug-ins: clearing every cache is tested in a binary of its own
`plugin.clearCache` without an id empties the cache of every plug-in
installed in the process. In the engine's library tests it could empty
the cache of another storage test running at the same time, and its
`bytesFreed` could count that test's cache. It now runs in
`crates/engine/tests/plugin_clear_cache.rs`, and the library test checks
that clearing one plug-in's cache leaves the other plug-in's cache.

The storage fuzz test starts each case with an empty plug-in store,
deletes the store when the case ends, and installs `fuzz.storage` with
`replace: true`, so the cases that shrink a failure install their
module.

docs/mcp.md says that files `plugin.remove` can't delete stay in the
folder renamed with `.removed` until the plug-in is removed again.

Don Omondi 3bb43b2fe6 EPS import: composite fonts draw their Type 42 descendants' glyphs
A composite (Type 0) font with the 8/8 mapping picks a descendant font
and a code in it with each pair of bytes (PLRM 3rd ed., 5.10). The reader
set its strings as type in a font of the composite font's name, the
bytes read as Latin-1 and at a thousand times the size, so EPS from
pdftops of a PDF with embedded TrueType fonts showed nothing, or one
black shape, where its type was.

Characters now go to their descendants: a Type 42 font's glyphs are drawn
from the TrueType outlines its sfnts strings carry (Adobe Technical Note
5012), by the glyph index CharStrings gives their names, spaced by their
own widths or the show operator's numbers; charpath and stringwidth read
them too. A Type 3 descendant runs its procedures, and a descendant found
by name sets its character as type at the composite font's size.

dotCooCoo fb848d28ac .ai import: objects in pattern and brush art take the file's art styles
A pattern's definition (in either form) and a brush's art were read
without the file's art styles, so an object there with a style came in
as the look it draws, with a "drawn look" note, while the same object on
a layer or in a symbol came in as itself with its effects live. The
three definition readers now take the art styles as the symbol reader
does, and an object in a pattern's art with a style in the file's style
list keeps that graphic style's id.

An art styles section inside a symbol's, a pattern's or a brush's art
is now skipped, so it no longer replaces the file's own art styles.

dotCooCoo a37ad90e6c .ai import: type keeps Standard Vertical Roman Alignment from its editing data
The modern type reader read key 35 of a character style only for
Tate-chu-yoko (3). A run whose key 35 is 1 (Standard), in the run, its
character style or the document's defaults, now opens with Standard
Vertical Roman Alignment on, so its half-width characters stand upright
in vertical type. Horizontal type keeps the mark with no change to its
layout. A value of 2 (rotated), 3, any other value and no key at all
leave it off, VectorCraft's default.

- ate.rs: Style reads the flag and passes it to CharStyle, with a unit
  test over defaults, character styles, run overrides and bad values.
- tests_native.rs: a vertical and a horizontal story with Standard,
  rotated and unset runs; the test of values the reader ignores also
  checks the flag.
- import_fuzz.rs: the vertical fixture also checks the flag.
- docs/file-format-parity.md: one line on the mapping.

dotCooCoo 44432a4310 Plug-ins: the fuzz test generates bulk memory operations
plugin_fuzz now builds plug-ins whose run executes memory.fill,
memory.copy (overlapping ranges included), memory.init followed by
data.drop, and data.drop followed by memory.init. Lengths and offsets
are sampled at zero, small, page and mebibyte sizes, at an exact end,
one before and one past it, with copy sources and destinations and init
memory and segment offsets chosen separately. Fill and copy can repeat
up to about one fuel slice of copying.

Each case runs directly under the default budget, a small fixed budget
or one near its estimated cost. A run must trap exactly when a range
leaves memory or the data segment (empty once dropped), and must finish
when it is in bounds and has ample fuel; otherwise it may hit the
instruction budget. The same plug-in then runs through plugin.run: a
failed run leaves the document unchanged and the document still renders
and exports.

bulk_memory_cases_reach_their_instruction checks that each operation's
module contains its instruction and traps on a small out-of-bounds case.

dotCooCoo d5e1c00470 File formats: HEIC and HEIF images open and place
File › Open and File › Place read HEIC and HEIF still images (.heic,
.heif) through heic-rs 0.1.4, the pure-Rust decoder photocraft-heif
uses, and store the pixels as PNG. Single pictures and grids of tiles,
8 to 10 bits, with or without an alpha image, are read with the
container's rotation, mirror and crop applied. A grid without a color
box of its own takes its tiles'. When neither the image nor its tiles
have an nclx box, the HEVC stream's video signal type gives the
samples' matrix and range. An RGB ICC profile, or Display P3 with the
sRGB curve named by an nclx box or, without a color box, by the
stream, is converted to sRGB. The EXIF resolution tags size the image;
without them it is 72 ppi. When the container's rotations turn the
image an odd number of quarter turns, the resolution's axes swap with
the pixels'.

Image sequences, images that aren't HEVC-coded, grids of cropped tiles
and images past the pixel allowance are refused with a message before
the pixels are decoded. The allowance counts each coded picture at the
size its sequence parameter sets give it.

The decoder is in the engine's `heif` feature, which is on by default
and listed by the desktop, CLI and web apps. A build without it still
recognizes the files and refuses them with a message.

dotCooCoo c85b286994 .ai import: Scatter brushes in Tints open in Tints, and brush art drops its frame
A Scatter brush in a .ai or EPS file's editing data always came into
the Brushes panel keeping its art's colors. A Scatter brush whose last
15 numbers start with 1 now opens in Tints, and one whose numbers start
with 0 keeps its art's colors. Other values are not read and keep the
art's colors. The field before the art's name does not decide it: an
object whose first field is 1 is read by its 15 numbers, and a Scatter
object with 8 numbers is still left out.

A brush's art usually comes in a group after its frame, an unpainted
rectangle around the art. The reader kept that rectangle as part of
the brush's art. It now leaves out a frame at the art's bounds (within
1/1000 pt): an unnamed, unpainted rectangle with its four corners in
order, closed, or open with its first corner again at the end, and no
settings of its own (shown, unlocked, at full opacity in Normal, with
no effects, note or other attributes). A wider frame stays in the art,
and so do a path that crosses the corners, an open path along three
sides and a rectangle with settings of its own. A group left with one
object becomes that object, unless it has a state or look of its own
(hidden, locked, isolated, knockout, an opacity, a blend mode, a name,
a mask, a note or another setting, or an appearance); then it stays a
group without the frame. The rule applies to every brush art section.

Existing files with such brushes now open with Tints and without the
extra frame path in the brush's art. With an exact frame, the pieces
that a Scatter or Art brush draws along a path stay where they were.

The Scatter, Art and Pattern brush colorization options, Tints among
them, are described on pages 281-282 of
https://web.archive.org/web/20210601162814/https://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/illustrator_reference.pdf#page=281

Tests cover Scatter brushes whose numbers start with 1 and 0, with a
first field of 1 and 2, and an 8-number object. They cover frames kept
or left out (exact, wider, open, filled, named, crossing the corners,
along three sides, with a note, Show Center or hidden), a group's own
state and note kept, and the pieces a Scatter and an Art brush draw
along a path with and without the frame. The import fuzz test reads
brush art after frames of any corners and paint.

dotCooCoo b071fb109c Plug-ins: the host import fuzz test reaches vc_log's text checks
The fuzz test for hostile host import arguments drew vc_log's level from every i32, so almost
every call stopped at the level check and never read memory. Levels are now also drawn from -1
to 4. The module docs, a test doc comment and docs/plugins.md now say that with an unknown total
each change of done is passed on.

dotCooCoo 1c676fc372 Plug-ins: API level 2 lets a plug-in report progress, see Cancel and write log lines
A plug-in whose manifest gives "api": 2 and lists the new `progress`
permission may import three host functions from module `env`:
vc_progress(done, total), vc_cancelled() -> i32 and
vc_log(level, ptr, len) -> i32. Installing checks every import and
refuses, by name, one the host doesn't offer, one with another type and
one the manifest doesn't allow.

- Progress is clamped and passed on once per tenth of a percent (past
  2,000 reports, once per 1,000 changes). A heavy filter's progress
  window and the export's progress window show it as a percentage bar,
  and their Cancel makes vc_cancelled return 1. A live effect's progress
  is not shown.
- A run cancelled before it returns ends as cancelled, and one that
  returns after its time budget ran out ends at that budget, so what a
  plug-in returns after it sees vc_cancelled changes nothing. This also
  applies to a plug-in of API level 1 that finishes after a Cancel or
  past its time budget.
- Log text must lie in the module's memory and be UTF-8. Lines go to the
  app's log as "<id>: <text>" with hidden characters escaped, at most
  1,024 characters a line, 200 lines and 32 KiB a run, and the host reads
  at most 1 MiB of log text a run.
- plugin.list and plugin.info give the manifest's `api`; the install
  prompt names the new permission in plain words.

dotCooCoo c8701a18cd .ai import: legacy binding punctuation opens as Burasagari's Force setting
The legacy reader skipped `bindrepeat Tg` (section 15.3.4 of the version 7
file format specification). It now reads the binding punctuation bit:
1 and 3 set the paragraph's Burasagari to Force, and 0 and 2 set it to
none, which is VectorCraft's own mapping. The value is modal, lasts into
the next text object, and an operand other than 0 to 3 leaves it as it
was. The repeat character, `TG`, `Xu` and `Tu` are still skipped.

docs/mcp.md and the `ParaStyle::burasagari` doc comment name the legacy
`.ai` case as the exception to imported text keeping `none`.

dotCooCoo b7203714be Links: Relink can replace all instances, the folder's missing links or each link separately
The Links panel's Relink... button and menu item open a Relink dialog
(ui.relinkDialog) with a Replace menu. Selected Instances relinks the
selected images and placed documents, as Relink did before. All
Instances also relinks every other object in the layers linked to the
same file. Missing Links from This Folder relinks the selection to the
chosen file, then every other missing link to the file of its name in
that file's folder, and the status bar names the files not there. Each
Link Separately asks for a file for each selected link in turn, one OK
each, and relinks them all at the last one: the dialog has one row per
linked file, and each selected embedded image gets a row of its own.
Every choice is one undo step.

links.relink takes scope: selected (default), all, missingInFolder
(with path) or each (with paths: [{ids, path}] in place of ids, path
and folder). A scope or paths that doesn't fit is an error and relinks
nothing. With copy, every file is read and checked before any is
copied, copies made before a failed copy are removed, and
missingInFolder looks for missing images only.

dotCooCoo 874ae85fab Plug-ins: manifests list permissions, the user grants them at install, and the host enforces the grant
A manifest may list `permissions` (doc.read, doc.write, state,
effect.render, export.write) and an `api` level. doc.read, doc.write
and state follow the capability model proposed in
storytold/photocraft#662; the other names are VectorCraft's own. An
unknown, reserved, duplicate or wrong-kind name is refused by name. A
manifest without the key gets the permissions its kind implies and
installs as before.

- Install Plug-in... and File > Open show the name, id, version, file
  SHA-256 and each permission in plain words, with control and
  bidirectional characters escaped and each string cut to 64
  characters. OK installs the module only if it still has the SHA-256
  shown; Cancel installs nothing. The heavy-budget prompt and the
  status line show the escaped name too, and OK keeps the `replace` it
  was given.
- `plugin.install` needs `grant` listing every permission, and
  `plugin.inspect` reports `needsApproval`. `hash` pins the module:
  one with another SHA-256 is refused. The grant is kept with the
  module's hash in the store's `grants.json`, and only that store's
  grants count while it is attached; the same set does not ask again,
  more permissions do, and `plugin.remove` forgets it.
- The Additional Plug-ins Folder and `plugin.reload` install only
  plug-ins the attached store has granted and report the others as
  needing approval. At startup the store skips an ungranted plug-in.
- A filter run without doc.read is given no objects; without state it
  neither reads nor writes `documentData`; without doc.write an output
  that changes the document is refused and the document is unchanged.

dotCooCoo e592e8277b JavaScript: parser for ES5 scripts, with cargo xtask test262
New crate vectorcraft-js reads ECMAScript 5.1 source into a syntax tree
with source positions: a UTF-16 lexer (line and column tracking, automatic
semicolon insertion, the regexp and division goals), preprocessor lines
read as directive tokens, a recursive-descent parser to an arena tree, and
the ES5 early errors, strict mode included. Nesting deeper than
Options::max_depth (200 by default) gives a SyntaxError with its line and
column rather than overflowing the stack. Nothing runs scripts yet.

cargo xtask test262 downloads test262 at a pinned commit, checks its
SHA-256, unpacks it into the gitignored corpus/ folder and runs the ES5
syntax tests. A differential test in the engine compares the lexer with
scriptcheck on line counts, directives and unterminated literals.

A style the document already has, under its name or a numbered copy of

a free name. The file's Normal styles, and styles with a blank name or

shape from the art saved in the file, the type moved and changed size.

Warped type is now compared with its saved art once it is laid out,
with the comparison and the per-file budget that envelopes use. Type
that draws as its saved art stays editable with the effect live. Other
warped type opens as that art, not as editable type, with one note that
counts them, and saving over the file asks first. The art's box goes
back into the comparison with the page. Type stays live without a
comparison when its saved art paints nothing or draws type of its own,
and in frames of threaded type.

dotCooCoo 81a7a68388 .ai import: legacy type in CJK fonts decodes by the font's CMap
Legacy type in a composite font such as HeiseiMin-W3-83pv-RKSJ-H was
decoded one byte to a character, so Japanese, Chinese and Korean type
opened as unrelated single-byte characters, and the font name kept the
CMap.

Tf now finds a predefined CMap at the end of the font name, unless a TZ
gives the font encoding pairs, and the font is the name without it.
Strings in that font are read by the CMap's code space, mapped to CIDs
with the predefined CMaps craft-pdf carries, then to Unicode by the
character collection's CID-to-Unicode CMap. Codes the CMap doesn't map
are dropped. A -V CMap is read with its -H form's codes. Codes in the
Unicode CMaps (UCS2, UTF8, UTF16, UTF32) are read as Unicode; those
helpers follow mockydevs' #6067. A 0x0D byte ends a paragraph and a 0x09
byte is a tab in these fonts too.

The predefined CMaps craft-pdf doesn't carry (RKSJ, 78-RKSJ, 78ms-RKSJ,
78-EUC, 78, Add, Ext, NWP, GB, CNS1, KSC, B5 and the Hong Kong B5 sets
other than HKscs-B5) are read with the nearest
carried CMap, which can give a different character for some codes.
GBT, GBT-EUC, GBTpc-EUC, CNS2 and KSC-Johab type still decodes byte by
byte, with the CMap removed from the font name.

dotCooCoo 0ce3147aab History: the New Document button makes a document from the selected state
The History panel gets a New Document from State button at its bottom,
which runs the new edit.newDocumentFromState command. The command makes
a new document holding the art of a History panel row ({index?}, the
current state when omitted) and makes it the active document. An index
that names no state is an error and changes nothing.

The new document takes the next Untitled-N name, is marked unsaved, has
nothing selected, no steps to undo or redo and no modified date, and
leaves symbol, opacity-mask and pattern editing; the art drawn in a
pattern's tile is stored in the pattern, as Done stores it. Its links point at the files the
source finds, including files found in the source's folder away from the
links' paths. Those files are looked for only within the folders the
asking caller may read; for a caller without limits, within the folders
the caller that opened the source may read. The source
document, its steps and its saved state stay as they are; typing or a
drag in progress is first kept as a step, as Undo keeps it. While an IME
composes, the command waits, as Undo does.

A frame takes a layout only for a text object equal to the one laid out,
and only while the fonts, the system fallback setting and the hyphenation
exceptions are unchanged. When the last frame being drawn ends, the rest
are dropped if a frame took one, and all of them are dropped after eight
frames that take none. A layout with bitmap or color glyphs and a text
object with a gradient are not kept.

style. It now leaves those copies as they are.

Finding the pasted type looked each id up and compared every text object
with the ones already found. Text commands and the bounds refresh after
a paste now look all ids up in one walk and keep the found ids in a set.
Giving a pasted group new ids builds its map of old to new ids only for
an Objects on Path group, which is the only kind that reads it.

A pasted solid paint with no swatch link and a tint other than 1 now
keeps that tint when no relinking runs. Saved art carries a tint of 1 on
such a paint.

Moving or scaling the group leaves its art as it is, the art no longer

and now do the same, also when they reach only a part of a dimension. A
dimension whose art a command leaves as it was stays live. A dimension
selected with the art it measures becomes a plain group when Expand,

baseline, not flipped, whatever Type on a Path Options the frame kept.
Each frame now keeps its effect (Rainbow, Skew, 3D Ribbon, Stair Step,
Gravity), Align to Path (Ascender, Descender, Center, Baseline) and Flip.
A code or flag that can't be read leaves that option at its default.

Flipped type opens with the frame's path reversed once, after a copied
object takes its own art path, and an open path's end bracket stays so
the type starts where the file's range ends.

Spacing is still fitted from the file's layout. The fit now measures along
the path when Align to Path moves the baselines off it, and it follows the
glyphs' feet under 3D Ribbon, whose baselines stay level.

dotCooCoo 74863fa778 Engine: execute refuses keys a command doesn't name, in every build
Session::execute ran check_params only in the engine's own tests, so a
direct execute in a release build ran a misspelled key with the
command's default. It now checks every call, the commands a command runs
included, as MCP and the control port already did. A command.batch or
an action.batch is checked before its first step runs, and each step is
checked again as it runs, so an effect.setParams step is checked
against the effects the steps before it added.

Saved steps play through Session::replay, which takes keys a command no
longer reads, so an action recorded by an older version still plays and
Session::replay still plays an older journal. The Actions panel's Play
(Accelerated, Step by Step and Pause For, its function keys and
ui.action.play) and the Batch dialog use it.

Docs: the cmd/params.rs module doc, the Parameter keys section of
docs/mcp.md and a line in docs/target-app-parity.md describe both
paths.

dotCooCoo ed5de5edcb Plug-ins: a plug-in adds menu commands of its own under Object › Plug-ins
A filter or live effect may declare up to 32 `commands` in its manifest,
each `{id, label, params?}`. While the plug-in is installed each one is the
command `plugin.<id>.<command>`: listed by `command.list` and in the
plug-in's `plugin.list` entry, run through `run`, MCP and `command.batch`
with its parameters checked before the plug-in runs, and recorded in
actions. A run goes through `vc_run` on the selection with
`_context.mode` "command" and `_context.command`, under the plug-in's
permissions, as one undo step named after the command. A failing run
leaves the document as it was, and its error starts with the plug-in's
name and the command's label. Removing or replacing the plug-in removes
its commands.

In the app, a plug-in with commands is a submenu named after it under
Object › Plug-ins (Effect › Plug-ins for a live effect), holding its own
item and then its commands; a `menu` key in a manifest is ignored. A
command with parameters opens a dialog for them from its menu item or a
shortcut. Edit › Keyboard Shortcuts lists the commands for the user to
give a shortcut; a manifest cannot set one. Labels and names are shown
with control and bidirectional characters escaped, and a malformed entry
is refused by name when the module is installed.

dotCooCoo 1f352bc7c1 Plug-ins: manifests list permissions, the user grants them at install, and the host enforces the grant
A manifest may list `permissions` (doc.read, doc.write, state,
effect.render, export.write) and an `api` level. doc.read, doc.write
and state follow the capability model proposed in
storytold/photocraft#662; the other names are VectorCraft's own. An
unknown, reserved, duplicate or wrong-kind name is refused by name. A
manifest without the key gets the permissions its kind implies and
installs as before.

- Install Plug-in... and File > Open show the name, id, version, file
  SHA-256 and each permission in plain words, with control and
  bidirectional characters escaped and each string cut to 64
  characters. OK installs the module only if it still has the SHA-256
  shown; Cancel installs nothing. The heavy-budget prompt and the
  status line show the escaped name too, and OK keeps the `replace` it
  was given.
- `plugin.install` needs `grant` listing every permission, and
  `plugin.inspect` reports `needsApproval`. `hash` pins the module:
  one with another SHA-256 is refused. The grant is kept with the
  module's hash in the store's `grants.json`, and only that store's
  grants count while it is attached; the same set does not ask again,
  more permissions do, and `plugin.remove` forgets it.
- The Additional Plug-ins Folder and `plugin.reload` install only
  plug-ins the attached store has granted and report the others as
  needing approval. At startup the store skips an ungranted plug-in.
- A filter run without doc.read is given no objects; without state it
  neither reads nor writes `documentData`; without doc.write an output
  that changes the document is refused and the document is unchanged.
