A linear, radial, conic or diamond gradient has a spread: Pad (the default, as before), Repeat or Reflect, with a count of 1 to 100 (VectorCraft's own limit). Repeat and Reflect run the stops that many times along the vector (around the turn for a conic) and keep going past both ends, Reflect running every other run backwards, as SVG's spreadMethod does. The Gradient panel has a Spread menu and a Repeats field, and the Gradient tool marks where the runs meet. paint.setFill and paint.editGradient take `spread` and `repeats`; bad values are errors. Presets, swatches, blends, strokes along or across a path, Outline Stroke and Object › Expand follow the spread; Expand gives each run the same whole number of objects, and Outline Stroke's mesh keeps the color on each side of a sharp step between two stops at one offset. SVG writes and reads spreadMethod: SVG import now reads a repeating or reflecting gradient as one that repeats or reflects once, instead of expanding its stops over the shape. CSS writes repeating gradients. PDF writes a conic's sweep shading over one run. PDF, EPS, legacy .ai and the .ai editing data write the other kinds with their stops repeated across the shape: at most 256 runs and 16,384 stops (256 stops in .ai files), and for a radial or diamond no farther than 65,536 runs from its center, with a warning past those. PDF import now finds sharp steps in any axial or radial shading instead of blurring them. Docs: docs/mcp.md (Spread), docs/target-app-parity.md, docs/gaps.md.
