Global Edit does not take images or text, so a group holding type or an
image is not a missing case. docs/gaps.md drops it from G5's Missing
line and states the exclusion next to the similar-groups entry, with
the help page. docs/ui-parity.md states the same exclusion and no longer
lists highlighting the matches before the start as remaining, since it
ships with a regression test. docs/target-app-parity.md gains an
Evidence line.
Closing a modified tab that is not in front shows it while the Save
Changes dialog asks about it. After Save or Don't Save, the closed tab's
neighbor became the current document instead of the document that was in
front before the question.
Closing a background tab with its close button, or `file.close` with its
`index`, now remembers the uid of the document in front in the dialog's
protected `__front` field, and once the asked document closes, that
document is made current again while it is still open. The field
survives a Save dialog shown off the UI thread. Cancel keeps the asked
document in front, closing the document in front still brings its
neighbor forward, and Close All and Quit are unchanged.
docs/target-app-parity.md listed the "Preferences that act" bullet three
times. Two older copies disagreed on Highlight Alternate Glyphs (one said
on by default, the code sets it off in Prefs::default) and still counted
about 14 stored options. The newest copy is kept, now with the Highlight
Alternate Glyphs clause (off by default), and its count names the two
options still stored only: Scratch Disks and the legacy vector clipboard.
The older of the two "Preferences audit (2026-10-30)" bullets, which still
listed five stored-only options, is removed, and the UI chrome summary row
now says 2 options, matching docs/gaps.md G12.
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.
An envelope around type of only spaces and a rectangle mapped from the
union of the rectangle and the type's laid-out box, so the empty type
moved and scaled how the rectangle was distorted. Type that draws
nothing now adds no box while other content in the envelope has one,
in groups and layers and as a clipping path too. When nothing else in
the envelope has a box, the type keeps its laid-out box, so an envelope
of only empty type keeps its frame, Make with Mesh and Reset with Mesh
still work, and Release still gives back the warp shape.
This applies to Make with Warp, Make with Mesh, Make with Top Object,
Reset with Mesh, Edit Contents and the stroke margins. Type that has
not been measured yet keeps its laid-out box as before.
The PDF/.ai import's boxes for envelopes with Distort Appearance
measure each object as the whole contents measure it, so the margins
the import tries match the contents' geometric box. The three import
tests that measure type without registering the glyph measure now
register it first, so another test registering it while they run no
longer changes their result.
