file.newProfiles.edit and file.newProfiles.reset returned the automation
access check and file system errors with the profile file's whole path,
so a client confined to read roots that leave out the preferences folder
learned where the folder is. The errors now go through naming_in_error,
like other paths the client did not give: whole inside the read roots,
otherwise by file name. docs/mcp.md and the params text say so.
The widget's Constrain button was grayed out in Free Distort, and
neither it nor Shift changed a Free Distort corner drag. Constrain is
now available in Free Transform and Free Distort, and stays unavailable
in Perspective Distort.
With Constrain on, or Shift held, a corner dragged in Free Distort
moves only along the line through the opposite corner, in the box's
own proportions, and the other three corners stay in place. On a
turned box the line runs through the box's own corners. A box with no
size leaves the corner where it is. Cmd/Ctrl+Alt+Shift on a corner
still drags in Perspective Distort. The measurement label shows how
far the corner moved.
file.close {index} on a tab other than the current one made the
document now at the closed index current and reset the tool, so the
document the user was working in went to the back. The current
document now stays current, found by its id as document.move does, and
its tool keeps its state. Closing the current tab still makes its
neighbor current.

Under automation read roots, stroke.arrowheads.list gives `file` as
null for an arrowheads file outside them and names it by its file name
in `error`. stroke.arrowheads.edit and stroke.arrowheads.reload refuse
such a file with the root-check error, naming it by its file name:
edit makes no folder or file and neither opens nor activates the file,
and reload does not read it. Inside the roots, edit opens the file
under the client's roots. The Stroke panel menu is not confined.
A right-click on a selection that holds a path (a path, a group of
paths, a compound path, or anchors selected with Direct Selection) lists
Smooth…, after Join and Average… and the anchor entries when those are
listed. It opens the slider that Object › Path › Smooth opens, which
previews the result until OK keeps it as one undo step. With nothing,
only type or a group of type selected, Smooth… is not listed.

Where a band border in a gradient or a shaded area runs at a slant, its
pixels form a staircase whose steps are two or more pixels long. When one
piece of outline also runs along a sharp edge in the image, that piece as
a whole is not the contour of a smooth area, and the outline kept a
corner at every step, so the border was traced as a series of right-angle
steps.
subpixel::outline now reads a run of three or more edges of 1 to 8 px,
each turning one way where it starts and the other where it ends, with no
junction on it, as a staircase when the run's own cracks pass
subpixel::low_contrast. A run is cut at any step whose own cracks show half
of the step between the two colors or more. Its edges are steps, as
one-pixel steps already were: no corner where two of them meet, and one
point at the middle of each, moved by the mean of its cracks' shifts. The
corner where a run meets an edge that is not a step stays, so a straight
edge longer than 8 px next to a staircase stays straight. Two one-pixel
steps inside a run are read as part of the slope and do not make a notch.
Longer steps, staircases along a sharp edge and Black and White traces
keep their corners. The runs are the same from either side of the border.
On gradient and photo inputs most traces take fewer anchors. Some rows get
worse: 6 Colors on gradient and photo leaves a gap of 0.9 px (was 1.2) and
an overlap of 1.0 px (was 0.8), High Fidelity Photo with Gradients on a
blurred input takes 50 anchors (was 47), and on a synthetic 800 px photo
the 95th percentile of High Fidelity Photo's pixel difference rises from
6.33 to 6.67 and 16 Colors leaves 2 staircases of 2 px steps or more where
it left none.
