In remote mode, press_key queues its key for the next UI pass, while
pointer_gesture drives the tool as soon as the app reads the request. A
release sent right after a key could commit the drag before the key
reached the tool, so C pressed while dragging out an arc left it open.
A ui.pointer request now waits, ahead of the requests after it, until
the synthetic input sent before it has been applied.
Review of #5694 asked for two changes.
Add-on, not a core tool, as Enclosing Lasso is:
- The command is addon.contour.set, in an add-on module of its own
(crates/engine/src/cmd/addons/contour.rs) with its tests beside it.
- The tool is listed under Object > Plug-ins > Contour and under its own
"Contour" heading in All Tools. It has no Basic or Advanced toolbar
slot and no default shortcut. The Contour bar is unchanged.
- The add-on drawer test lists Contour with the other add-on tools.
- Docs (mcp.md, the parity documents, ROADMAP) say add-on and use the
new command name; mcp.md gains a Contour add-on section.
Translations: rows for "Contour", "Contour Tool", "Sharp", "Bake" and
"Turn the Contour into plain paths" in all 26 catalogs ("Round" and
"Square" already had them). Drafted from each catalog's own vocabulary
(for Bake, the verb it uses for Expand Appearance; a word other than the
catalog's Stroke or Path word for the tool's name where they collide);
they are not native-speaker reviewed.

Two fixes from review of #5694, each with a test that fails without it:
- Dragging a selected Contour sent the tool's own corner options, so a
Round or Square Contour came back Sharp and lost its miter limit, and
the Contour bar (which reads the effect) disagreed with the shape. The
press now reads the Contour's own corners and miter limit and every
preview of that drag carries them; a new Contour still takes the tool's
options.
- A drag that never moved the distance (along the edge, or rounded to
nothing by Shift) previewed offset 0 and committed an unchanged copy
and an undo step. Nothing is previewed until the distance leaves where
it started.

Add a Contour tool (Modify group). Dragging away from a selected path or
shape's edge makes a copy of it that carries a live Offset Path effect,
grown by the drag; dragging toward the inside shrinks it. The result is
one undo step and stays editable until baked with Expand Appearance. A
second drag on a selected Contour changes its distance instead of
nesting another effect.
- object.contour: the command behind it (offset, sharp/round/square
corners, miter limit), usable over MCP and the control channel too.
- Contour tool: live preview, Shift rounds to whole points, Escape
cancels, a dashed guide with a white halo shows the outline the shape
had, and a pill shows the distance.
- Contour bar: a floating bar above the selection with the offset box,
Sharp / Round / Square and Bake (Expand Appearance).
- Toolbar slot under Modify (Basic and Advanced) and dc-contour.svg, an
original icon with its ASSETS.md row.
- Tests for the command, the tool's pointer gestures and the bar; the
border-with-a-gap recipe (two Contours, bake, Minus Front) is covered
end to end.
- Docs: beyond-Illustrator row, revision histories and the ROADMAP log.
Beyond Illustrator: a VectorCraft design built on Offset Path. Scores and
estimates unchanged.

The Control bar asks whether Select > Start Global Edit can run every
frame it shows a one-object selection. For a path, compound path or
symbol instance that check built the object's form: a copy of every
anchor and handle, normalized into a unit box. On a 200,000-anchor path
it took about 2.2 to 3.0 ms a frame.
The check now walks the object the same way and measures only the box
of those points, then applies the same size test, so it gives the same
answer for every object without allocating. Starting Global Edit still
builds the forms it compares.
A document tab dragged sideways along the tab strip moves its document to the
place an insertion line marks; the current document stays current. Dragged
above or below the strip, the tab still tears off into a floating window. The
views Window > New Window opened move with their document, and each document
keeps its own zoom, centre and artboard.
The move is the engine command `document.move {from?, to}`, so the control
channel, MCP and recordings reach it, and a replay moves the document before
the steps recorded after it. `sync_views` keeps the views with their documents
by uid when the documents change order.

The check that reuses a moved path's stroke outline allowed each
coordinate to differ from the moved one by 4 x f64::EPSILON times the
sum of the compared coordinates and the largest coordinate of the first
point, about 2.7 pt near 1e15, so a 0.5 pt anchor or handle edit there
drew the outline made before the edit.
offset_between and anchors_moved now measure the offset on each axis at
the pair of points with the smallest coordinates on that axis, then
check every pair against that offset within 3 units in the last place
of the pair's own coordinates. A first anchor far from the origin no
longer sets the tolerance for points near it.
Tests: 0.5 pt anchor and handle edits at 1e9 and 1e15 (and 0.0005 pt
at 1e9); an edit near the origin of a path that starts at 1e16; a path
whose coordinates shrink with each point, moved by growing amounts.
The progress line for the folder preferences now cites the preferences
help for Plug-ins & Scratch Disks as the place where additional plug-ins
folders are set, and names the plug-ins Choose… button and the check of
a typed folder on OK as VectorCraft's own rules.
A Type Tools add-on command (Object › Plug-ins › Type Tools › Release Type on a
Path…, `addon.type.releasePath`): each selected type on a path becomes point
type with the same runs, character and paragraph attributes, on one straight
line whose baseline starts where its first character sat, and the plain path
it was set on, with its exact shape and transform, in its layer and stacking
place, with no fill or stroke. `mode` keeps both, the path only or the text
only; `keepOriginal` leaves the type on a path and adds the released objects
above it. Other objects are left alone, nothing to release makes no undo step,
the run is one undo step and the released objects are selected. The command
dialog previews it as Type on a Path Options does (#5360): Cancel leaves no
history, OK is one step. Tests, command_sweep cases, catalog rows in all 26
languages, docs/mcp.md and the parity docs (beyond Illustrator: scores
unchanged).

Additional Plug-ins Folder (Plug-ins & Scratch Disks) gets the Choose…
button that Data Recovery's Folder has, on hosts with a folder picker.
A picked plug-ins folder must be a folder whose contents can be listed;
otherwise the status bar says why and the field keeps its value.
OK now gives a folder typed into either field the same check as a
picked one. When it fails, the dialog stays open, the status bar says
why and no preference is set. An empty field and the folder already
saved are not checked. Under automation roots, a folder outside them is
refused before it is looked at.
Additional Fonts Folder and Templates Folder stay typed only.
The Delete Stop button sat at the end of the Opacity/Location row, below
the selected stop's Color row. In the default docked panel height that
row is cut off as soon as a stop is selected, so the button looked
missing. It now sits at the right end of the ramp, level with it, and
shows whenever the ramp does (with options hidden too). It deletes the
selected stop, never below two, as before.
Adds a headless panel test for deleting a stop by dragging it off the
ramp and with the button beside it, one undo step each, and for a
two-stop gradient keeping both.
The task bar drops Join once the selected open path is closed and offers it
again after Undo, and Shape Properties shows a rectangle's corner radius as
it is after object.setLiveShape and after Undo. The progress line names the
new test.
A test selects an open path in one document and a rectangle in a new
one, then switches back and forth with set_active: the task bar offers
Join only for the open path and Shape Properties only for the rectangle.
The Control bar and the contextual task bar copied the first selected
object every frame (the task bar twice), which on a path of 200,000
anchors costs about 1.4 ms per copy. Both bars now borrow it; the task
bar copies it only when it is a basic shape, for Shape Properties.
With one selected open path of 200,000 anchors, an idle frame with both
bars shown takes 3.8 ms instead of 8.0 ms in a release build.
addon.pathtools.cornerSet takes `every` ("all", "odd" or "even"; default
"all"), which keeps, of the anchors already chosen (named, direct-selected
or all), only the odd- or even-numbered ones, counted along each path from
its first anchor as number 1. Anchors that take no corner still count, so
the pattern follows the path's anchor order on open and closed paths; when
nothing is left the command says so. Unknown values are refused.
Object › Plug-ins › Path Precision Tools › Set Corners… (also a button in
the Anchor Inspector's Corners section) opens a dialog with Radius, Corner
kind and Anchors (All / Odd-Numbered / Even-Numbered) that previews on the
canvas and commits as one undo step.
The outline cache kept a copy of each stroke's line to recognize a moved
path, and made that copy on every miss, so an anchor edit of a long path
paid for copying its whole line. The entry now records whether its outline
was made along a line of the object's own path. On a miss, the anchors of
the earlier object are compared with the new one's, stopping at the first
that differs, and the earlier line is made again from the object and its
stroke only when they match.
Strokes with arrowheads keep the reuse: the check uses the untrimmed path.
A shear, a wider stroke, another cap, another dash pattern and another
width profile each make one new outline and draw the pixels a new
renderer draws, for open and closed, short and long, plain, dashed,
profiled and gradient-filled paths.
The moved-outline key is imported where it is used, and the outline is
stored through one helper, so the change touches fewer lines that other
work on the renderer also changes.
A path object that moves without changing shape drew its stroke by
outlining the whole line again, because the stroke outline cache is
keyed by the node. The renderer now keeps, per object, stroke and
outline width, the latest outline with the line it was made from. When
the new line is that line moved, it draws the kept outline moved by the
same offset, and moves the region a long path was outlined in with it.
Scaling, rotating or editing the path, changing the stroke's width,
join, cap, dashes or profile, a zoom that changes the outline's
tolerance, and a move that takes the view past the outlined region
still outline the stroke again. Only the latest outline of each stroke
keeps its line.
A row drawn before was counted with no limit on its objects, so symbols
that each hold many instances of the next made the count grow with the
product of the instances, and the Layers panel could stall on such a file.
- Counting stops after 20,000 steps: each object, subpath, text run and
symbol looked at is one step, and every 64 bytes of a symbol or placed
file name looked up is one more. A row that needs more gets its
thumbnail on the thumbnail thread, and the painted thumbnail draws
nothing for it.
- A row drawn before counts at most 20,000 objects.
