A TIFF with more strips and planes than the decoder can count comes to a filter as "unknown"
with no pixels, instead of panicking in the metadata read. An output that writes a read-only
object's id as 17.0 now names that object, as other numbers in the object compare by value; a
fractional id still names no object.
Building a type input's runs and paragraphs stops at the first one past what is left of the text
and input totals, instead of building all of them before the size check.
A CMYK image's pixels are now its inks shown through the working CMYK profile, by a table built
the way the canvas builds its own, instead of the image decoder's own conversion to RGB.
An output lists at most 100,000 objects and must return every read-only object, so an input with
more than that many is now an object-budget limit before the plug-in starts.
A path or compound path that doesn't fit what is left of the input now fails the run with the
runtime's own "selection is too large to hand over" limit before the rest of the selection is
written, instead of later read-only objects reporting a size error. Objects that clip a clip
group are left out for every filter: compound paths and paths inside a group that clips one
reached filters before, as type, images and symbol instances did.
A filter's input is now encoded within the half of the plug-in's memory
cap that the input and the parameters share. Every object counts toward
it in paint order, with its id, bounds, transform and name. Type runs
and image pixels that don't fit what is left come with truncated or
pixelsOmitted, and a type, image or symbol instance whose other fields
alone don't fit fails the run before the plug-in starts with
"memory budget (object N needs S bytes of input, L left)".
A filter manifest that lists `inputs` must now list `doc.read` in
`permissions`, so installing it asks the user to grant them and the
Additional Plug-ins Folder loads it only once granted. Left out, the
manifest does not install.
The pixels of all images in one filter input take at most 16 MiB of
base64, and the runs and paragraphs of all its type at most 16 MiB of
JSON. An image whose pixels do not fit what is left comes with
`pixelsOmitted`, checked before it is decoded, and type that does not
fit comes with `truncated`. The read-only objects are kept once and
written into the input from there.
A field a filter adds to a read-only object is named in the refusal
with control and bidirectional characters escaped, cut to 64
characters.
A filter manifest at `api` 2 may list `inputs` (`type`, `image`,
`symbolInstance`). Such a filter is also given the selected objects of
those kinds, read only: type with its runs and paragraph attributes,
images with their pixel size, color mode and, when embedded and small
enough, their RGBA pixels in base64 (never a linked file's pixels or
path), and symbol instances with their symbol and transform.
The output must return each read-only object as {"id": ...} alone or
exactly as given. A change, an omission or a duplicate is refused
before the edit, so the document and undo history stay as they were,
including for output handed in from a heavy run. A filter without
`inputs` gets the same input bytes as before.
A manifest that lists `inputs` below `api` 2, outside a filter, with an
unknown or repeated kind, or with a permission list that lacks
`doc.read` does not install.
Part of #4333
A live effect whose manifest has "api": 2 and "paintOutput": true returns
{"objects": [...]} as pieces, each drawn by itself in order with fills and
strokes of its own in the forms a filter returns. A piece without fills or
strokes keeps the ones the effect was given, and an empty list paints none.
An effect on a fill returns only fills, one on a stroke only strokes.
The whole result is checked before any of it is drawn: the output limits,
finite numbers in range with nothing clamped, known keys only, and every
swatch and pattern it names in the document. One fault draws that step of
the stack unchanged, keeps the effect record and puts the plug-in's name
and the field in plugin.info's lastError. Each piece counts against the
geometry-effect budget, so the painted effects of one stack make at most
100,000 pieces.
The pieces are drawn, measured and exported to PDF and SVG from the
appearance stack without changing the document, and Expand Appearance
writes them as ordinary paths in one undo step. The plug-in API level
rises to 2; plugin.list and plugin.info give api and paintOutput. Effects
without the key behave as before.
A compound path a filter made a guide was still given to later filters, which
could change or delete it; compound paths of guide paths are now left out as
guide paths are. Hex colors and the color button's choice are display sRGB and
are now converted into the working RGB space, so they show as given whatever
the working profile; a color default is kept as written and read when used.
Follow-up to #5630.

A `color` parameter shows a color button that opens the color picker in plug-in
dialogs and the Appearance panel's effect editor; its default and values may be
a color object or a hex string, and the plug-in gets a color object. A filter's
returned objects may set `guide` and `locked`; objects it locked or made guides
are left out of the selection after the run.

A filter plug-in had nowhere to keep settings that belong to the whole
document rather than to one object, such as the pens a plotter holds or
a machine profile: it could only ask for them again on every run.
- A filter's output may hold documentData: any JSON of at most 1 MiB
(objects::MAX_DOCUMENT_DATA) that replaces what the plug-in keeps with
the document, null removing it, in the same undo step as its objects
(objects::decode_output). Too much refuses the output and the
document stays as it was.
- A filter gets it back in _context.documentData (null until it keeps
something). A filter reads and writes only its own.
- It is the document's foreign data, Document::unknown["pluginData"] by
plug-in id (vectorcraft_doc::plugin_data), where the perspective grid
and the brushes keep theirs. So the native file needs no section of
its own for it, and hosts from before keep it when they save. An
exporter is given the whole document, so it can read every
plug-in's. Nothing else lists it, as the reference app's Document
Info lists no plug-in data.
A live effect isn't given it: its geometry is worked out from the
object alone wherever it is drawn.
Tests: plugin_data.rs (each plug-in its own entry, forgetting what isn't
kept copies nothing, a damaged value holds nothing), objects/tests.rs
(kept, forgotten, refused over the limit), tests_plugins.rs (one undo
step with the objects, read back, not given to another filter, kept by
the native file among its foreign data, refused over the limit with the
document unchanged, null removes it) and tests/plugin_export.rs (an
exporter finds another plug-in's). The size error has its row in each complete
catalog (COMPLETE_MESSAGES).

The docstring check of the review counts the functions a pull request
touches: effect.apply, effect.setParams, plugin.run, the line cap
name, the reader of an output object and seven of the object tests had
no doc comment. Each now says what it does or checks; the join and cap
names get one each.

A filter could reshape and repaint objects, but not set the stroke's
join, cap or miter limit, nor the effects an object's appearance holds.
A tool that prepares objects for a live effect (a sheet of samples,
each with the effect at its own settings) had to leave the user to
apply the effect to each object by hand.
- Each input stroke has its join, cap and miterLimit beside its paint
and width (live effects get the same, through the shared encoder),
and each object its own effect records, {id, params, visible}.
- An output stroke may set them (miter limit clamped to 1-500), and an
output object's "effects" replaces its own effects.
- The host admits each record as effect.apply does: an effect that
effect.list lists or an installed live-effect plug-in, parameters it
takes (filled in to their defaults; a plug-in's checked against its
manifest), one 3D effect that fits the object (its fills' and
strokes' own effects counted), and the texture of an effect with
Load Texture (Glass, Texturizer) as the effect stores it, never a
file to read. A record the object already had stays as
it is, so a filter that hands its input back changes nothing. One
refused record refuses the whole output and the document stays as
it was.
The plug-ins crate checks the records' form; which effects exist is the
engine's to say (objects::AdmitEffects, engine plugin::admit_effects).
effects::validate_three_d is the one check of whether a 3D effect fits
an object, for effect.apply, effect.setParams and the filters.
A path handed back as it was now stays the live shape it was: write()
dropped a live rectangle's or ellipse's parameters whenever the output
held a path, changed or not, so a filter that returned its input
turned a live rectangle into a plain path.
objects/tests.rs checks the round trip, stroke styles on existing and
new strokes, the host's refusal, the bad forms refused, and a live
rectangle handed back unchanged (a plain path before the fix);
tests_plugins.rs runs filters that set a built-in and a plug-in effect,
an echo that changes nothing, and six refused outputs.
CRAFT_PLUGIN_FRAME_WASM=<folder> saves a test filter to try in the app.

A live-effect plug-in was given only its object's geometry. An effect
that draws as wide as the stroke it sits on, or tells its fills apart,
had to ask for them again as parameters, which then went stale when
the paint changed.
A live effect's input object now holds the object's fills and strokes
too, read only and in the form a filter gets them (one encoder,
objects::paint_lists, for both), and _context.item says where the
effect sits: "object", or {"fill": i} / {"stroke": i} for an effect in
a fill's or a stroke's own effects. effects::GeomContext carries the
object's appearance and the item, and the plug-in cache keys on the
paints, so a change of paint runs the plug-in again. Hosts from before
this give geometry only; nothing in the output changes.
Expand worked a fill's geometry effects out in the object's context, so
a plug-in effect there would be told "object" and a gradient fill was
expanded into a shape the canvas doesn't draw: fill_shape now gives them
the fill's context, as drawing does (expand.rs).
Siblings named with a declared prefix, the other half of such context,
are left out: the effected geometry is worked out from the object alone
wherever it is drawn, measured, hit-tested or expanded.
wat::when_given is a plug-in whose output depends on whether its input
or parameters hold a text. tests_plugins.rs uses it to check that an
effect sees the stroke's width and the fill, runs again for a thinner
stroke, and on a second stroke is told so; effect.rs checks the item
counting; a gradient fill under such an effect is drawn and expanded
into the same triangle. CRAFT_PLUGIN_PAINTS_WASM=<folder> saves a test
effect to try in the app.

A plug-in could filter objects or reshape them as a live effect, but
nothing it made could leave the app: pen plotters, cutting machines and
laser cutters read formats VectorCraft doesn't write. An exporter is a
third kind of plug-in ("kind": "exporter", with the file "extensions"
it writes), in the same sandbox and with the same ABI v1 exports.
- It adds a write-only format, plugin.<id>. document.formats lists it
with its plug-in id, and document.export writes it by that id, or by
a path ending in one of its extensions that no built-in format has;
"params" carries its parameters, checked against its manifest as a
filter's are.
- File › Export › Export As lists it after the built-in formats, with
Use Artboards greyed out, since the plug-in writes the whole
document. One with parameters asks for them in a dialog generated
from its schema (pluginExport) once the file is picked.
- The plug-in is given the native file's JSON (format::json_part:
images of 8 KiB or more without their data) and _context {mode:
"export", extension, name}. It returns {"dataBase64", "warnings"?}
or {"error"}. The host writes the file, and nothing when the plug-in
declines or returns bad data.
- An export gets 10 G instructions plus 4,000 per byte and 300 s.
Background Export's Cancel stops it between two slices of that
budget (Error::Cancelled), and a cancelled live-effect run is not
cached as a failure.
- plugin.run and Object › Plug-ins say where an exporter is instead of
calling it a live effect.
engine/tests/plugin_export.rs reads back what an exporter is handed
with wat::echo_exporter, an exporter whose file is its input or its
parameters (its base64 encoder is written in WAT). The document it is
given is document.save's JSON, without the large image's data, and its
parameters arrive defaulted, clamped and with the file's name and
extension. It also covers listing and removal, built-in extensions
winning, selectedOnly, declines, bad base64, missing data, warnings,
and Cancel stopping a plug-in that never returns. It is a test binary
of its own: installed plug-ins are process-wide, and the format-list
unit tests check exact lists. dialogs/tests_plugin_export.rs drives
Export As headlessly; plugins/tests/abi.rs covers the budget, the
parameters and the echo exporter; format/tests/native_v4.rs covers
json_part.

VectorCraft had an Additional Plug-ins Folder preference but nothing loaded from it. Port
PhotoCraft's wasmi plug-in host (same sandbox, manifest and parameter schema) as the new
vectorcraft-plugins crate (L2), extended for vector documents:
- Object filters read the selected paths and compound paths as JSON (native PathData and
Paint forms: geometry, fills, strokes, gradients, opacity) and return the objects to keep,
change, add or delete; the output is validated in full and applied as one undo step
(plugin.run). A failing plug-in leaves the document untouched.
- Live-effect plug-ins are geometry effects in the appearance stack (effect id
plugin.<id>), re-evaluated (and cached) when the object or parameters change, editable,
exported and baked by Expand Appearance; a missing plug-in leaves the geometry as is.
- plugin.list / info / run / install / remove / reload; the preference folder installs
every *.wasm at startup and when it changes; File > Open of a .wasm installs it (web).
- Object > Plug-ins and Effect > Plug-ins menus with dialogs generated from the parameter
schema (live preview), the Appearance panel's fx menu, docs/plugins.md, an original
example plug-in (Desaturate, a Rust crate outside the workspace) and fuzzing of the
plug-in boundary (engine/tests/plugin_fuzz.rs).
Tool plug-ins and paint-changing live effects are left for later (docs/plugins.md).
