With Preview on, the selected type on a path follows Effect, Flip, Align
to Path and Spacing while the dialog is open. Cancel puts it back with no
history step; OK keeps the previewed values as one undo step. Preview
starts off. The public pages list no Preview for this dialog, so this is
a VectorCraft choice, recorded as such in the parity docs.

Follow-up to #5301. flavour_types (and clipboard.flavours) still listed PNG for art too large to render at the smallest scale, and the omission was only logged. PNG eligibility is now shared, and flavours_with_warnings returns a warning the status bar shows.
Follow-up to #5305. Stripping passwords from remembered settings made the next export of a password-protected PDF row write an unencrypted file without a word. The stripped settings now keep a non-secret passwordRequired flag, and an export refuses them until a password is given again (or security without the flag is given).
Follow-up to #5288. A dashed compound path keeps its dash pattern on the compound node and on each loop, so the dash budget is charged for every copy. A symbol's name is charged against the text budget before the symbol is kept. Running out of block work now says so instead of reporting more than 2,000,000 objects.
Follow-up to #5303. When deduplication shortens a thread ([[a, b], [b, c]] -> [[a, b], [c]]) and no frame changed, the fast path dropped [c] without clearing its threaded continuation. A thread that lost a listing now counts as changed and is flowed again.
Follow-up to #5293. draws_brushed rejected masks, symbol instances and pattern paints whose art names a brush the library doesn't have, though such a stroke draws plain. It now counts only brush names that resolve.
Follow-up to #5306. A DXF placed off the UI thread against an artboard that changed meanwhile is read again in finish(), on the UI thread, outside the automation roots captured when the read started. Pending now keeps that scope and poll runs finish inside it.
A built-in Type Tools add-on (Object › Plug-ins › Type Tools › Text Tweaker…,
`addon.type.textTweaker`): size, baseline shift, rotation, horizontal or vertical
scale, tracking, leading or stroke weight go from a start value to an end value
along a straight ramp, an ease, a bow, a spike or at random with a seed, set as
the Character panel sets them, while the text stays live. One undo step, a
dialog with Preview, catalog rows in all 26 languages, docs/mcp.md and the
parity docs.

Per review on #5327: Preferences › File Handling › Edit Original With (an app
path and Choose…) becomes the checkbox Use System Defaults for Edit Original,
on by default. Off, Edit Original opens a raster image in the app that made
it, PhotoCraft, looked for only where it installs; any other file, or no
PhotoCraft, goes to the system's default app. The preference is a boolean, so
prefs.set over control or MCP can no longer name an executable. The label has
a row in all 26 catalogs.

macOS: wait for `open -a` (it returns once Launch Services has the
request) and report its error, such as a folder named .app that isn't a
bundle; other platforms still start the editor without waiting. A saved
or typed path also sets the dialog's Other Application choice, so
clearing it to type another keeps the field.

The Other Application choice (before a path is typed) is a `__` field of
the Preferences dialog instead of egui memory, so a dialog opened again or
reset starts at System Default. The path field shows the stored value
untrimmed, so spaces can be typed.

Preferences › File Handling › Edit Original With picks the app Links
panel › Edit Original opens a linked file in: System Default (as before),
PhotoCraft (found in /Applications or ~/Applications on macOS, on the
PATH elsewhere) or Other Application, with a path field and Choose….
The desktop host's new `open_file_with` service starts only an
application (an .app bundle on macOS, an .exe on Windows, an executable
file elsewhere), with the path as its only argument and never through a
shell. Edit Original still refuses control requests.
