Headless command_list exposes the desktop UI catalogue with ui: true, docs
clarify effect vs command ids, and prompts cover spelling, variables and path tools.
Under --automation-read-root, ui.inspect returned the paths of documents
still opening, the recent files, library panels' files and the folder
preferences even when they lay outside the read roots. The reply now
leaves them out, checked with file_access::check_read as ui.menu.list
checks recent files and listed scripts:
- opening and ui.recent_files keep only the readable paths, in order.
- A library panel keeps its row without its path; a library loaded from
outside the roots shows as loaded/<file name> in its id and panel id,
in ui.inspect and ui.docking.
- The folder preferences in ui.engine_prefs and in an open Preferences
dialog are left out; an empty folder and the scratch disk choices
Startup and None stay.
The app's own state is not changed. Without roots the replies are as
before.

main lines a moved selection's edges and centre up with ruler guides
(snap_moved_to_rulers, #5746) but not when Shift keeps the move to its line. The
bounds now slide along that line onto a ruler guide the same way
(snap_moved_along_to_rulers), when nothing else lined up and the grabbed point is
not on a guide, within twice the Snap to Point distance along the line.

The web build had no clock for plug-in runs, so its first view deferred
every plug-in live effect until Effect > Refresh Deferred Effects, and a
run's wall-clock limit was not enforced there. The deferrals clock and
the run deadline now read `web_time::Instant`, which is the system's
monotonic clock on the desktop and the page's `performance.now()` in the
web build. The web's first view now shares the same 2,000 ms budget, and
its runs stop at the 5 s, 60 s and 300 s limits as on the desktop.

Under --automation-read-root, a control client's ui.menu.list (and
ui.contextMenu.list, which shares the listing) left every File › Open
Recent Files row in, so the client saw the names of recent files it may
not read. file.recentFiles returned their full paths, and
file.openRecentN for such a file answered with a refusal naming the path.
Now the listing leaves out a recent file outside the read roots, as it
already leaves out listed scripts outside them. The other rows keep their
ids, so file.openRecent3 still opens the third file. file.recentFiles
returns only the files inside the roots, in order, and file.openRecentN
for a file outside them ends with "no such recent file", as an empty slot
does. The person's own menus and Home screen are unchanged.

A failure $.evalFile raised for a file it could not run was placed by
matching the uncaught error's message against the last such failure. A
script that caught the failure and threw it again later, or threw a new
error whose message held its text, was reported at the failed file's line
instead of the second throw.
The failure now carries a mark (HostError::Marked) with the exception.
A catch clause drops the mark, a throw raises the value without one, and
a finally block that ends normally throws it on with its mark, nested
finally blocks included. Realm::error_mark gives the mark of the error a
run ended with, and the engine looks up the file, line and column by it.
While an envelope's contents are edited, the editing data keeps its mesh
in the envelope's dictionary. In some users' files that mesh lies away
from the drawn art by a plain move, the contents sitting with the drawn
art, as if the mesh hadn't followed the envelope when it moved. The
envelope then drew its contents elsewhere, failed the drawn-art check
and kept its drawn art. Nothing in the dictionary records the move, and
no envelope saved outside Edit Contents was found displaced.
A mesh or top object saved in Edit Contents (and a warp of type tried
on its saved grid) whose mesh draws the contents as large as the drawn
art, within half a point over width and height together, but further
from it than that, is now tried again after every other way, with one
more of the import's checks, its mesh moved by as far as the drawn
art's box lies from the box of what it draws. The drawn-art check, the
budget and the page comparison decide as before, so an envelope that
opened live before opens the same way.

`#strict on` and `//@strict on` no longer end the run as unsupported. They
turn on the checks the dollar-object help page gives for `$.strict`
(https://extendscript.docsforadobe.dev/extendscript-tools-features/dollar-object/):
an assignment to a read-only property throws a TypeError, and so does a new
property on an object that takes none.
VectorCraft's own rules: a getter-only property counts as read-only; the
objects that take no new properties are the non-extensible ones
(preventExtensions, seal, freeze, and the frozen vc and $ objects); the last
`#strict` line of the script and its includes sets the whole run, and runs
without one are unchanged; eval and Function take the checks of the code
that compiles them; a file $.evalFile runs keeps its own line's checks for
its code and functions, or takes the caller's without one. The rest of ES5
strict mode stays with 'use strict'.
The js crate carries the setting per compiled source
(Realm::set_strict_writes, and a strict_writes callback on
HostItem::Evaluator), and applies it only to property assignments.
A script's $ object now has the other members the Dollar object page
lists: about, appEncoding, bp, build, buildDate, colorPicker,
decimalPoint, engineName, error, flags, gc, getenv, setenv, global,
hiresTimer, level, line, locale, localize, memCache, os, screens, sleep,
stack, strict and version. Scripts also get the global
localize(object, ...values), toSource(value) and
Object.prototype.toSource().
Each run starts with the interface's locale and its own $ state;
$.setenv changes only the run's copy of LANG, LC_MESSAGES, LC_ALL and
OS, and $.getenv returns null for every other name. $.sleep waits from
0 to 1,000 ms between frames, and script.stop ends the wait. toSource
writes plain data only and throws on cycles, getters, host objects and
values past the data limits.
The script checker reports $.localize as a $ member instead of the
global localize function.
- The panel's report line gives a run without a clock as "time
unavailable", as script.console does, instead of "? ms", and shows the
slowest commands after "slowest:" as script.console does.
- "1 host call", "1 earlier line dropped" and "1 line cut" take the
singular in the panel and in script.console, and each catalog gives
its language's plural forms. The dropped and cut counts choose their
forms independently.
- A run whose state is gone still gets an end line: "stopped" when it is
abandoned, "internal" when the next slice finds it missing. Neither
adds a report line. The missing-run path in script_pump now also puts
the session's state back, as script_abandon does, so the next run can
start.
#6090 moved the pinned window width in
the_control_bar_shows_the_paragraph_alignment_of_the_selected_type from
1440 to 1536 pt, since the bar's right end now keeps room for the panel
menu button. The progress line still named 1440 pt.
A dimension selected with the art it measures became a plain group of
paths and text when Object › Expand, Object › Expand Appearance or
Object › Path › Outline Stroke ran, so it no longer redrew when moved
or restyled.
These commands now leave such a dimension's lines and label as they
are, also inside selected groups without fills, strokes or effects of
their own, and change only the other art. The dimension keeps its
export assets and variable bindings. When the new art no longer fits
the dimension's link, for example because the outlined stroke has
other anchors, the dimension stays where it was, no longer linked, as
it does when its art is deleted. Undo links it again.
When the dimension is all the command would change, the command
changes nothing and reports the error it gives for a selection with
nothing to change. Object › Expand… is no longer dimmed for the label
of such a dimension. A dimension selected without the art it measures,
a part of one, and one inside a selected group with an appearance of
its own still become plain groups, and Type › Create Outlines still
outlines the label.

The Dynamic symbols entry still said Edit Symbol expands the symbol's
own art. Since #5064, Edit Symbol opens symbol editing mode: every
instance stays linked and a dynamic symbol's instances keep their
changes for the objects the edited art still has.
