The Model layout was written with the default page setup, whose "layout"
plot area is plot type 5, "Layout information" (DXF Reference, PLOTSETTINGS
group 74). That means nothing for model space: opened in AutoCAD 2027, a
drawing saved by CADCraft had a blank "What to plot", no preview and no scale
in the Plot dialog for Model. Model space now gets what PLOT does for it: the
drawing extents scaled to fit (74 = 1, 75 = 0). DWG saves go through the same
writer; the reader already ignores the Model layout's plot settings.

MCP clients start their servers when they start, usually before CADCraft is
open, and `--connect` refuses to start then. `--lazy` starts the bridge
anyway and reaches the app at the first tool call; until the app answers,
each call fails with how to open it. `--launch` (implies --lazy) opens
CADCraft on macOS with that control port at a call that finds nothing, and
waits up to 30 s. Neither falls back to a headless session (#103).

* HATCH/GRADIENT: points and objects in one call; GRADIENT name and centered
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
* HATCHEDIT: gradient parameter (make or change a gradient fill)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
* HATCHPICK: pick hatch boundaries, an origin or hatches for the dialog
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
* Hatch dialog: state, defaults and the OK command call
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
* Hatch dialog: pick points, objects, origin or hatch and come back
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
* Hatch and Gradient dialog window (pattern swatches, gradient, origin, boundaries, options)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
* HATCH, GRADIENT and HATCHEDIT open the hatch dialog; double-click a hatch to edit; HPDLGMODE
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
* Hatch dialog: keep the window to its content (OK and Cancel stayed off screen); double-click test
A vertical separator between the two columns took the height available, so the window grew
every frame until its buttons left the screen. Found in the running app.

* Docs: hatch dialogs in gaps, target-app parity and UI parity
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
* Hatch dialog review fixes
- Double-clicking a hatch at its centre opened the dialog and also started a grip edit.
- Edit mode no longer clamps an out-of-range scale or angle into a change nobody made.
- HPORIGINMODE outside 1-5 means the current origin, as HATCH reads it.
- Picks made in one space are dropped when the dialog comes back in another (layout tab).
- A gradient hatch's Pattern tab offers the current pattern (HPNAME), not SOLID.
- Ukrainian: "Default to boundary extents" said "outside the boundary".

Layers and objects get a PlotStyle property (ByLayer/ByBlock/name) applied
through named tables (built-in default.stb and monochrome.stb, our own
definitions). DXF keeps the names in the ACAD_PLOTSTYLENAME dictionary of
ACDBPLACEHOLDER objects with group 390 on layers and objects; tables kept in
the drawing travel in a CADCRAFT_PLOTSTYLES XRECORD. PLOTSTYLE sets an object's
or the current (CPLOTSTYLE) style; STYLESMANAGER lists, creates, edits, deletes,
loads and saves tables in our own JSON format (docs/plot-styles.md). A Plot
Style Manager dialog edits a table's styles and the layout's table; the
Properties palette shows the current plot style and table.

MLEADER's Options answered "not available yet" for Leader type sPline and
None and for Content type Block. Spline leaders now draw as smooth curves
through their points (DXF LEADER path type 72 = 1); None places only the
content at one picked point; Block asks for a block name and how it
attaches (Center extents or Insertion point) and inserts it at the end of
the landing. MLeader gains `spline` and `block` (serde defaults); DXF stays
LEADER + MTEXT/INSERT. PURGE, RENAME, copy/paste, FLATTEN, grips and
extents follow the block content. The choices are remembered like the
other MLEADER options. docs/gaps.md: top-10 row 5, F1 and F10 narrowed.

A PlotStyleTable model in doc with our own built-in tables (default.ctb keeps
object properties, monochrome.ctb prints black, grayscale.ctb prints the grey of
each colour's luminance). The render builder resolves each object's style by its
index colour (true colours by the nearest index) and applies colour, screening,
linetype and lineweight. PLOT/EXPORTPDF use the page setup's table (or the
plotStyleTable option); layouts with Display plot styles (PAGESETUP
displayPlotStyles, DXF plot flag 2) show it on screen and in PNG/SVG exports.

AUDIT checks for missing layers, linetypes, styles and block definitions,
current-style variables naming missing entries, invalid geometry (NaN or
infinite numbers, zero-length lines, zero-radius circles and arcs),
block definitions that contain themselves, duplicate handles, and
references to missing objects (dimension associations, groups,
constraints, viewport layer lists). It asks "Fix any errors detected?
[Yes/No] <N>:"; the JSON form `audit {fix?}` returns a structured
report. RECOVER opens a file through the read hook and applies AUDIT's
fixes. A question prompt now shows its answers without "or".
