A client confined by --automation-read-root saw paths outside its read
roots that the person or an earlier request had put in the session:
- plugin.list: the plug-in folder last loaded and its failed files;
plugin.list and plugin.info: a plug-in's source file; plugin.list,
plugin.safeMode and plugin.setEnabled: the file of a plug-in turned
off for the next launch.
- file.recovery.list and file.recovery.restore: a document's original
file; file.recovery.list and file.recovery.save: the recovery folder.
- ui.inspect's scriptReport: the files a run wrote and the included
file a failed run stopped in.
A folder outside the read roots is now null, and a file outside them is
named by its file name. plugin.setEnabled {file} takes that name. The
restored documents keep their files, and unconfined clients and the
app's own UI see the same replies as before.
With one Objects on Path group selected, the Selection and Objects on Path
tools show a ring on each object's attachment point. A click chooses that
object while the group stays selected; dragging a ring along the path moves
its object to the nearest object's place, and the objects between move one
place toward where it was, in one undo step. Hidden and locked objects have
no ring and keep their places. On a closed path the drag goes on round
across the first anchor, and Escape cancels it.
- object.objectsOnPath.selectMember {member} chooses an object.
- object.objectsOnPath.moveMember {member, target, group?} moves an object
to another object's place; only the order along the path changes.

Adds tests for Select > Object > Not Aligned to Pixel Grid with embedded
images, symbol instances, point, area and path type, gradient meshes,
placed documents, guides and live shapes, with paths on template layers,
hidden and locked sublayers and locked artboards, and with the paths in
clip groups, blends, envelopes, repeats and Intertwine groups. A compound
path is selected by its own property, whatever the property of its paths.
The command's params text and docs/mcp.md now say that it looks into
clip groups, blends, envelopes, repeats and Intertwine groups.
A Warp effect on an image, or on a group that holds one, bent the image's
frame but drew the pixels unbent, cut by the bent frame. The image now
bends with the frame as a raster mesh warp, as an envelope bends it: after
the last effect in the list, the image is cut into 10 x 10 cells of two
triangles, each a clipped piece of the image under its own affine map,
through every Warp it took and the Transform moves between them. Effects
after a Warp reshape only the frame, and a placed gradient on a group
that holds the image follows the group's bounds as the pieces draw them.
The image itself is unchanged, so editing or removing the warp redraws
it. The images stay unbent when their pieces would make the art pass 2
million objects, and an image stays unbent when its clipping frame keeps
its shape because the warp would pass the effects' anchor budget.
- SVG export writes the image once and draws the pieces with <use> when a
group holds pieces of one image clipped by triangles. PDF, EPS, .ai and
PNG exports write the bent pieces.
- Envelopes: a grayscale image's fill color now colorizes the pieces an
envelope cuts. Before, the pieces drew the gray image.
- Geometry effects: an image under any geometry effect keeps its fill
color and its smoothing setting. Before, it drew the gray image,
smoothed.

With automation read roots in force, links.findFiles and text.findFontFiles
replies, including later polls and stops of a search another client started,
leave out the files found outside the caller's read roots, a sought link's
saved path outside them and the folder searched when it is outside them. A
failed search then gives its reason without the path. The rows keep their
names, ids and status, and the counts stay.
image.info gives link: null for a linked file outside the read roots, as
links.info does. text.addFontFiles gives folder: null when the Fonts folder
is outside the read roots and names the copies there by their file names;
the fonts are still copied.

Window › Swatch Libraries › Patterns and the Swatches panel's library
menu gain Optical Effects (`optical-effects`), a built-in pattern library
of eight black tiles drawn in code: Sine Bands, Ripple Lines,
Interference Rings, Offset Rings, Warped Checks, Pinched Stripes,
Chevron Pulse and Radiating Lenses. The names and designs are
VectorCraft's own. Each tile is 32 to 48 pt, one period of its design,
with fixed sample counts (at most 600 paths and 20,000 segments), so a
band that leaves one edge comes back at the same place on the opposite
edge, and rings and lenses that cross an edge are kept whole for the
tiling to draw on the next tile. Clicking a swatch adds its pattern and
swatch once and applies it, as with Geometric Patterns
(`swatch.library.add`).
The menu label has a row in every catalog; docs/mcp.md, the parity doc
and ROADMAP name the library.
A function an earlier run of a named engine defined was reported without
a line, column or file when it threw in a later run. The realm now gives
each source a tag that stays the same from run to run (Realm::error_tag,
Realm::script_tag), and no two sources share one once the tags run out.
Each named engine keeps the source maps of its runs' scripts, included
files and $.evalFile files, within 8 MiB, dropping the oldest first, and
an error in kept code is reported at that file, line and column. The
report's name and the console line keep the calling run's name. For an
earlier script given as source, file is that run's name.
