 - **Done (#1251):** Eyedropper source reads are independent of locks and isolation, including Shift/Shift+Alt and gradient stops. Source and selection preservation, unchanged Alt reverse/selection restrictions, hidden art and Undo/Redo have regression coverage. This addresses the reported behavior, with no new full-parity measurement.
 - **Done (#1253):** adding paint to an unpainted zero-width stroke restores the existing 1 pt default, including new-art defaults and Swap Fill/Stroke. The real Eyedropper inheritance sequence, targeted appearance items, preserved widths and Undo/Redo have regression coverage.
 - **Missing:** Average and Join in one step, with a corner or smooth choice for the joined anchor. `path.average` and `path.join` are separate commands and Join has no such choice (coinciding anchors merge into one since #1533). [ui-parity.md](ui-parity.md) listed "Join with corner/smooth choice" as done until 2026-10-13. About 1–2 h (estimated), inside the estimate below.

 - **Done (2026-10-14):** WMF/EMF import refuses an oversized embedded PNG or JPEG from its header, before any pixels are decoded (#1776). PDF open no longer takes exponential time on a crafted name tree with shared nodes when it looks for the editing data (#1781). The size limits on a native file's embedded data also apply to files read from memory, not only streamed ones (#1783). Saving over a private file on Unix no longer leaves a readable temporary copy beside it while the file is written (#1778). An Export for Screens suffix can no longer place files outside the export folder (#1777). Package refuses a folder where it would overwrite the open document or one of its linked files (#1786). ruzstd 0.9.1 fixes a decompression bomb (RUSTSEC-2026-0344) reachable from EPS/`.ai` and Affinity import (#1807). Scatter graph data near the largest number is refused with a message instead of hanging the app (#1780). One very long Liquify stroke segment can no longer create an unbounded number of dabs (#1779). MCP limits: 16 MiB lines, 64-message batches, 256-step `command_batch` with 8 MiB of kept results and 256 MiB control replies (#1764, fixes #1727). MCP requires the JSON-RPC 2.0 envelope and matches control replies by id, and an app refusal without an id reports the app's reason (#1768, fixes #1728). The corpus and platform QA below remain pending.
