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.

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 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.
Adds 1,813 @msg rows to zh-hans.tsv, one for each status and error message the
untranslated report listed for Simplified Chinese, except the 38 that open
pull requests translate in their own rows: the composite font, justification
order and Blob Brush connect end errors. The catalog test rejects a second row
for the same key, so leaving them out keeps the catalog consistent when those
pull requests merge.
The report now lists 40 zh-hans messages: those 38, and two that no catalog
has a row for yet. Its menu, tl!, undo label and swatch name sections are
unchanged. Placeholders, backticked names, quoted values and JavaScript
identifiers stay as in the source.
Docs: docs/localization-parity.md (zh-hans row), docs/target-app-parity.md.
A symbol instance colored with the Symbol Stainer lost its stain in
export whenever the canvas's stained art was not used:
- An instance with geometry effects was reshaped for export from the
symbol's art with only its dynamic changes, so SVG, PDF, EPS, .ai,
DXF, EMF/WMF and HPGL wrote the unstained colors. A color adjustment
on an instance recolored the unstained art the same way.
- PDF, EPS, legacy .ai, DXF and EMF/WMF wrote an instance without
effects from the unstained art.
tint_node, stain and instance_art now live in
vectorcraft_doc::symbol_overrides, which both the effects and the
exporters can use; vectorcraft_brush re-exports them. Baking, color
adjustments and the writers above now use instance_art: dynamic changes
first, then the stain.
A closed freehand stroke is fitted as the open stroke would be and closed by a
straight segment from its end back to its start. Fitted as one loop, the
closing segment curved on past both ends and back, like a hat's brim.
The Polish catalog lacked a row for 1,854 of the status and error
messages that the untranslated report finds in the sources, so the
status bar showed those messages in English.
- pl.tsv gains 1,808 `@msg` rows: the errors of commands and their
parameter checks, scripts, file import and export, printing and
plug-ins. The translations are VectorCraft's own, written from the
English meaning with the catalog's conventions and its existing
feature names. Placeholders, parameter names, command ids and
literal values stay as the English writes them.
- 44 of the others get their Polish rows from open #7211, #7214,
#7116, #7330 and #1931, so this change leaves them out. 2 are
messages that no catalog has a row for yet. Menu strings, `tl!`
literals, undo labels and swatch names are unchanged.
- Two of the messages have two placeholders in a row. The catalog does
not load such a row, so those two are still shown in English.
- The Polish row of docs/localization-parity.md gives the catalog's
current counts.
Docs: docs/target-app-parity.md, docs/localization-parity.md.
cs is in COMPLETE_MESSAGES, but the untranslated report listed 1,853
status and error messages with no Czech row, so with the interface in
Czech those messages showed in English.
- cs.tsv gains 1,813 `@msg` rows in one block after the last row. The
translations are VectorCraft's own, written from the English meaning
with the catalog's terms and typography (polite second person, Czech
quotation marks „…“). Placeholders, backticked names, command ids,
double-quoted values and bare true, false and null stay as the
English writes them.
- The 38 messages whose Czech rows open #7211, #7116 and #7330 add are
left out, so the catalog keeps one row per key when they merge.
- Menu strings, `tl!` literals, undo labels and swatch names are
unchanged.
- The Czech row of docs/localization-parity.md gives the catalog's
current counts.
