The editing copy of a PDF-compatible .ai now holds the Brushes panel's
Calligraphic, Scatter and Art brushes in the panel's order, with the art
of Scatter and Art brushes. A path or compound path with a Calligraphic
brush, or with an Art brush in Tints whose art bends along the path,
keeps the brush on its stroke. Other brushed strokes are still written
as their brush's art.
The writer reads each brush back with the reader's code before writing
it. Brushes that would not come back with their settings, brushes past
the reader's limits and every brush on a large canvas are left out with
a warning. A brush that has the name of an earlier brush that was left
out is written, and no path is written with it on its stroke.
An object linked to a graphic style that is left out at the object
limit now also raises the warning about links left out.

Type in a font found by name with a predefined non-Unicode CMap, such as
`/Ryumin-Light-83pv-RKSJ-H findfont` or a `composefont` with `GBK-EUC-H`,
opened as Latin-1 letters (`ú{A` for 日本A) in a font whose style carried
the CMap name (`Light-83pv-RKSJ-H`). Only Unicode CMaps were split off the
font name, and `composefont` failed with `undefinedresource` for the others.
- The predefined CMap decoder used by legacy `.ai` type moves to
`import/predefined_cmap.rs`, and EPS import decodes these CMaps' codes
with it (Shift-JIS, EUC, GBK, Big Five, UHC and the other public CMaps).
- A font name splits at a predefined CMap unless an installed face has
the whole name. A CMap that can't be read gives a warning.
- Type over a vertical CMap (`-V`) is set as vertical type, and each code
moves the point one em down the column, the default `DW2`
displacement.
- Every show operator sets decoded type with the same spacing and shaping
as other fonts found by name.
- Decoding a string counts against the import's memory budget.
Pinning a closed replaced spine opens it with a copy of its first point
at its end, so a two-point ring became three points and Delete Spine
Point could leave a spine of two points in one place. The two-point
check now counts the points left that are apart.
Six tests cover the Direct Selection marquee (anchors and crossed segments), its pointer and anchor highlight, and the Group Selection click, repeated click, marquee (default and E for enclosed objects) and hover over a drop shadow: they reach the object under the shadow or nothing. The selection passes-through line in docs/target-app-parity.md names these gestures.
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.

Pinning a closed spine from Replace Spine (a spine edit, Reverse Spine)
stored it closed with both end keys on its first point, so moving the
first key afterwards landed it on the last. Pinning now opens the spine
there as the layout of a moved key does.
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.
