* Place: an image placed into a frame fills it once and leaves Auto-Fit off
* Place: the fitting test names its fitting, since a placed image no longer auto-fits
Every font field's menu (Control bar, Contextual Task Bar, Properties > Character,
Character and Glyphs panels, Paragraph/Character Style Options, Find/Replace Font)
keeps its search focused and open on a click and filters as you type. In a dialog,
Return picked the highlighted family and also pressed OK, and Escape closed the
menu and cancelled the dialog: the menu now consumes the keys it uses. The
drawn font fields report themselves as combo boxes to screen readers.
Consecutive paragraphs with the same Split Columns settings form a split
block: their text fills the sub-columns of the column one after the
other from the block's top, inset by the outside gutter and separated by
the inside gutter, then moves on to the next column. When text follows
the block, its last part is balanced across the sub-columns and the text
continues below the deepest one at the full column width; a block that
ends the story fills its sub-columns in turn. Keep options don't apply
between a block's lines.
IDML: SplitColumnInsideGutter and SplitColumnOutsideGutter import and
export (paragraph attributes split_inside_gutter, split_outside_gutter).

* Text: a line that exactly fills the measure fits
A line whose natural width overruns its measure by less than 0.01 pt
(rounded frame widths and advances) fits, in the paragraph and the
single-line composer. A one-word line that exactly filled its frame was
hyphenated and lost its last letters.
* Text: a word longer than the line breaks at the column edge
The paragraph composer gets emergency break points inside any word (or
part between hyphenation points) that is wider than the narrowest
measure even fully shrunk. They cost more than a hyphen, so a legal
hyphenation point wins where one fits; justified pieces are rated by the
space they leave, so each line takes as many letters as fit. Tracking is
part of the width.
Justified lines shrink no further than the paragraph's minimum word and
letter spacing and glyph scaling: an overfull line stays overfull
instead of overlapping its glyphs, and an overfull single word shrinks
within the letter and glyph limits.

* Lists: numbering formats from IDML (A, B, C; i, ii, iii; 01, 02 …)
A paragraph's numbering format, number expression, bullet character and
text after the bullet import from IDML and export back. Numbered labels
come from the expression ("^#.^t", "Tabel ^#^t") with its
metacharacters expanded, in place of a fixed "n." label. Adds 001 and
0001 number styles, keeps letter and roman labels short for huge
numbers, and counts saturate instead of overflowing.
* Lists: an empty paragraph gets no bullet or number
A list paragraph with no characters before its return draws no label,
and numbering carries on past it: in a story's own list, in named lists
(also across stories) and in cross-reference paragraph numbers.

A linked image that wasn't found on open has no data; the export warning said it could not be decoded. It now says it is missing and names the link.
Co-authored-by: Brandon Thomas <[email protected]>
A break character is stored as the last character of the paragraph it
ends, followed by the usual '\n' separator. The story model, paragraph
ranges, styles, editing and every exporter keep splitting paragraphs on
'\n' only, so the change stays in the places that create, lay out or
write break characters:
- IDML import writes the break and ends the paragraph, so the range that
follows keeps its own paragraph style. NextOddPage and NextEvenPage map
to new odd and even page break characters; IDML export writes a
paragraph that ends in a break as that one Br with its
ParagraphBreakType, so export and re-import give the same story.
- Word and RTF import, Type > Insert Break Character (with odd and even
page breaks added) and typing end the paragraph after a break. Typing
between a break and its return goes to the next paragraph; deleting
either deletes both.
- Layout: a break that ends a paragraph leaves no empty line; the next
paragraph starts in the next column, frame or page, as a paragraph start
option would. Page breaks and Next Page start options move to the next
frame on a later page; odd and even ones to the next page with that
page number parity (no such frame: overset). A break inside a paragraph
from an older document still moves the rest of that paragraph on.
Storing the break as a paragraph separator of its own would have changed
every place that counts or splits paragraphs on '\n'.

* Footnotes: the first line wraps at the column edge after the number
Line breaking gave tabs no width: a tab only reached its stop when the
line was laid out, so a line holding a tab ran past the measure by the
tab's advance. A footnote whose separator is a tab overflowed its first
line by the gap between the number and the tab stop, and body lines
with tabs did the same.
The greedy breaker now asks for each tab's advance at its position on
the line, computed by the same tab_advance helper line layout uses.
* Lists: the first line after a bullet or number wraps at the column edge
In a hanging indent (a negative first-line indent), the tab after a
bullet or number went to the next default tab stop, past the left
indent: the first line's text started late and pushed the line past the
column edge.
The left indent is now a left tab stop of its own. A tab before it
reaches it unless an explicit stop comes first, so the first line's
text lines up with the lines below.

* Text frames: column rules draw between columns on screen and in PDF
A frame with Column Rule on gets a bar centred in each gutter, inside the
insets, broken around paragraphs that span columns; right-to-left and
vertical frames included. object.textFrameOptions takes columnRuleWeight
and columnRuleColor (unknown swatches are an error) and an inset array
whose null sides stay; document.inspect reports the rule.
* Text Frame Options: Column Rules fields; OK changes only edited fields
The dialog shows the selected frame's options, with an inset field per
side, and sends only what the user changed, so unequal insets survive.
The rule weight is read in points.
* Column rules: tint, horizontal offset and top/bottom insets; IDML import and export
Text Frame Options gains Tint %, Top Inset, Bottom Inset and Horizontal
Offset for the rule, and object.textFrameOptions and document.inspect
take and report them. IDML reads the ColumnRule attributes of
TextFramePreference on frames and object styles and writes them when a
rule is set.

A line ended by a column, frame or page break takes the paragraph's
last-line alignment, so a Left Justify paragraph sets it flush left.
A line ended by a forced line break stays justified.
The break that moves the following text to the next column or frame
is the line's last glyph, so a space after the break no longer keeps
the text in the same column.
A spanning paragraph closes the band of columns above it. Those columns
are balanced first and the paragraph sits below the deepest of them; the
columns after it start below the paragraph, so text that moves to the
next column no longer restarts at the frame top over the heading. A
spanning paragraph that doesn't fit moves to the next frame. Span counts
below the column count set the paragraph across the first columns only.
* Keyboard Shortcuts: the recorder waits for the key pressed with the modifiers
* Workspaces: Interactive for PDF and Digital Publishing open their own panels
* UI: the Quick Apply shortcut doesn't also run its first entry
Cmd+Return opened Quick Apply, and in the same frame the list saw the
same press as Enter and ran its first entry (New Document). A key press
that fires a command shortcut is now consumed, so nothing else handles
it that frame. This also stops Cmd+Return from inserting a paragraph
break while typing.
* UI: Quick Apply rows are left-aligned
Rows without a shortcut or style kind were drawn with their label
centred, because add_sized lays a button out centred and only the rows
with a shortcut have an element that fills the remaining width. Each
row is now laid out left to right in a fixed 460×22 area.
* UI: Quick Apply runs its first entry only on a fresh Return
Pressing Cmd+Return again while Quick Apply is open, or holding it until
it repeats, reached the palette as Enter and ran the first entry. The
palette now counts only a Return press that isn't a repeat and has no
Cmd.
Packages name the folder `Document fonts`; on a case-sensitive file system, opening a document beside it loaded none of its fonts. The exact name still wins when both exist.
* UI: right-clicking a ruler picks that ruler's units, and the vertical ruler measures in the vertical units (#133)
* UI: the Properties panel's Character section sets the text's language, from the same list as the Character panel (#130)
* PDF: PDF/A exports keep placed PNG, JPEG, GIF and WebP images by writing them without interpolation (#71)
* Tables: new tables take their paragraph's direction, and the Table panel sets a table's direction (#100)
* Text: stories made in a right-to-left-bound document fill their columns from the right (#100)
* CLI: run rejects an export option with no export after it (#67)
--page, --scale and --pdf-options apply to the exports that follow them; one
given after the last --export or --all-pages did nothing and said nothing.
The usage text and docs/agents.md say so.
* MCP: document that text offsets and story lengths are UTF-8 bytes (#68)
* MCP: docs name the UI-only commands precisely; app.links works headless (#62)
* README: PDF and EPUB export ship (#60)
* UI: toolbars that don't fit the window switch to two columns or scroll (#57)
In a short window the Tools panel lays its tools out in two columns,
without changing the single/double-column preference, which comes back
when the window grows again. While the window forces two columns the
column toggle is disabled. Whatever two columns can't fit scrolls
vertically.
The Control panel and the application bar scroll sideways when their
controls are wider than the window. The Control panel keeps its height.
In the application bar the workspace controls follow the menus instead of
overlapping them. A plain mouse wheel scrolls these one-direction bars,
and a thin floating scroll bar shows only when something overflows, so
nothing changes while everything fits.
Tool buttons, icon buttons and the Fill proxy carry accessibility
labels, which the new window-size tests use to find them.
* UI: captions in a sideways-scrolled bar stay on one line
The last group of a scrolled Control bar row got only the width left
over, so a caption like Columns wrapped one letter per line.
The macOS menu bar takes Cmd+A, Cmd+C, Cmd+X, Cmd+V, Cmd+Z and Cmd+Shift+Z
before the window sees them, so in a panel, dialog or search field they ran
the document's commands: Select All selected every frame, Paste pasted into
the layout, Undo undid the last document change.
While a text field has keyboard focus, these Edit items now act on the field,
whether chosen by shortcut or from the menu: Select All, Undo and Redo reach
it as their keys, Copy and Cut as clipboard events, and Paste asks the
window for the system clipboard. The items stay enabled for the field even
when the document has nothing to copy or undo. With no field focused, and
for every other item, the menu works as before.
* Opening an InDesign document says to export IDML (#21)
.indd and .indt files (recognised by their published 16-byte signature)
failed to open or place with a confusing format error. They now explain
that the format is closed and how to export IDML from InDesign instead.
File › Open offers .indd and .indt files (desktop and web), and dropping
one on the window opens it like a .designcraft or .idml file. A file that
can't be opened or placed from File › Open, Place, a drop, the command
line or the control channel's app.open shows an alert with the reason, as
well as the status line.
* File open: an .indd file is an unreadable file like any other
Remove the INDD signature check and message, and .indd/.indt from the
Open filters and drop routing. The alert tests use a generic unreadable
file.
* Control channel: a failed app.open answers with the error and opens no alert
An alert waits for a click that a control client can't give. app.open
reports the error in its response, as engine.execute does; File › Open,
drops and the command line still show the alert.
