 # VectorCraft Roadmap
 
+- PDF.W1: PDF export and print composition use the shared optional writer for configuration, metadata, font preparation and guarded finalization; drawing and output policy remain app-owned.
+
 - UI.5: Shared docking adds tab reordering, docking into other groups, dock splits and resizable floating panel groups. Panel positions and return locations persist with workspaces; the native icon rail and Tools panel remain available.
 
 - UI.4: Dock and floating-panel headers use shared accessible tabs with bounded overflow. Widget-state theme application uses `craft-ui`; all four palettes, font stacks and preferences remain app-owned.

 | Date | What landed |
 |---|---|
+| 2026-10-14 | Corner Radius has a link button in Properties and Transform: unlinked, a live rectangle shows a radius field for each corner (#1682). With the Width tool, double-clicking a stroke opens Width Point Edit to create a width point there, and Shift-double-click on a width point opens it with Adjust Adjoining Width Points ticked (#1814, #1630). Holding Alt while dragging a guide out of a ruler switches it between horizontal and vertical (#1782), and a marquee with the Selection or Direct Selection tool also selects the unlocked ruler guides it crosses (#1836). The Transform panel's, Properties panel's and Control bar's X/Y/W/H show and edit only the anchor points selected with Direct Selection (#1839, fixes #1824). With Snap to Grid on, anchors and objects snap to the grid even when Snap to Pixel is also ticked (#1840; #1816 waits for the reporter). Artboards are deleted the same way from the Artboards panel, its menu, Properties and Delete/Backspace (#1631). The toolbar shows no group labels by default (a preference brings them back) and runs on in one or two columns; the All Tools drawer lists the tools by flyout group with their shortcuts, has a menu (Reset, Basic, Advanced) and a Show section for the Fill/Stroke, Coloring, Draw Mode and Screen Mode controls (#1751). An action clicked in the Actions panel stays selected, so Play Current Selection and Delete Selection act on it (#1853, part of #1629). Redo during a drag keeps the drag as a step (#1856, #1719). Preferences are written as soon as OK is pressed (#1857; #1747 waits for the reporter). Preferences › Appearance of Black › Printing / Exporting and Units › Identify Objects By act (#1750, #1809). The paragraph alignment buttons show none selected for paragraphs with different alignments (#1784); redefining a character style to Auto leading updates the text that uses it and keeps local overrides (#1633); New and Redefine Character Style take the format of the selected text range, also while typing (#1634). Type inside symbols, pattern tiles, graph designs and opacity masks gets its layout bounds back when a native file opens, so warped type in a symbol looks the same after save and reopen (#1833, #1738). Editing, renaming, deleting or merging a global swatch reaches the art of opacity masks (#1830, #1735). macOS: Save As, Save a Copy and the first Save show their sheet again; the sheet's Format menu (#866, reopened) is withdrawn until it can be set before the sheet opens (#1855). |
+| 2026-10-14 | Rendering: copies, symbol instances and repeats that share an appearance keep their stroke outlines between frames (#1667); the canvas no longer reads its whole picture back for each non-isolated group that blends (#1687); envelopes, blends, repeats and meshes redraw when a pattern, symbol, font or colour setting they show changes (#1688); Outline view draws from geometry kept between frames (#1689); CMYK documents with transparency compose their ink planes on several threads (#1755); an edit re-flows a threaded story only when it changes one of the story's frames (#1792); opening a file reads its linked files and lays out its type on the opening thread (#1767). Instances of imported symbols are measured, selected, aligned, culled and exported by their art instead of a 20 pt square (#1744). Export for Screens and the Asset Export panel offer TIFF (#1632). SVG import looks style rules up by id, class and type (#1690), applies `:not()` selectors (#1799, #1557), no longer stalls on stacked descendant selectors over deep nesting (#1834, #1703) and reads linked files within the automation roots again (#1870). DXF export writes the VPORT view direction once (#1789). Untrusted files: nesting is capped at 32 objects in SVG, PDF, EPS and native files and symbols or patterns that use themselves open without the offending instance or paint (#1852); deeply nested PDF and `.ai` data, page trees holding themselves and functions or colour spaces built on themselves (#1871), decompression bombs and impossible predictor parameters (#1873, #1700, #1701), brushes that draw themselves (#1872) and hostile EPS, Affinity and native data (#1863: #1715, #1714, #1704, #1699) no longer crash or exhaust the app; the save fallback keeps the old file until the new one is in (#1695). Files whose ids sit at their largest value, a failed `command.batch`, control requests that timed out and images too large as RGBA for the Eyedropper are handled (#1862: #1718, #1697, #1725, #1717). Effects: wide shadows and glows at high zoom stay within the raster budget, stacked Transform effects are bounded, 3D keeps the area a nonzero compound path fills, pattern tiles redraw when the art they show changes, and a template layer dims its images by Dim Images (#1864: #1706, #1705, #1724, #1723, #1683). A failed save or export is reported in a dialog that names the file and stays until closed (#1865, #1685); a browser download that can't start fails the save (#1693); a file that finishes opening waits while a dialog is open (#1694). krilla's text shaping is no longer built in (#1874, #1730); the CI gate compiles the web app for wasm (#1875). |
 | 2026-10-14 | Image Trace: Shapes finds rounded rectangles and shapes in blurred and scanned art (98 to 100% of the plain-shape inputs, from 57 to 62%; #1845), square-ended lines get square caps (Outline's largest distance 2.94 px to 0.88; #1846), each documented preset has an enhanced version with Auto Grouping and Shapes that measures no worse than the preset (#1847), and blurred or noisy linear gradients trace as one gradient-filled path instead of 3 to 56 (#1848) ([`docs/image-trace-quality.md`](docs/image-trace-quality.md)). No headline number moves. |
 | 2026-10-13 | Synthetic control input has finite click/drag counts and pending-event limits, checked before queue mutation; control-channel bursts yield after 64 requests per frame (#1709). |
 | 2026-10-14 | Align and Distribute act on the anchor points selected with Direct Selection: the points of one path align to each other, not to the artboard, and Distribute spaces them (#1641, fixes #1636; aligning to a key anchor is still missing). Delete removes every selected anchor of a closed path (it used to remove the wrong ones), removes objects selected whole along with the selected anchors of others, and keeps the remainder selected so a second Delete removes it (#1674). In isolation mode Direct Selection and Group Selection pick only inside the isolated object (#1666). Escape cancels a Direct Selection drag (#1803, #1743). Escape while typing ends the edit, keeps the type selected and switches to the Selection tool (#1802, #1686, #1656). A filled Pencil path keeps a stroke of None (#1804, part of #1679). With the Pen, a press that moves under 3 screen pixels is a click (a corner without handles), and a Precise Cursors command toggles the existing preference and can take a shortcut (#1663). The [ and ] keys reach the Blob Brush, the Eraser and the Symbolism tools in the app (#1734, part of #1661). In the Pathfinder panel a group selected alone counts its nested shapes, so an expanded stroked object keeps the Shape Modes enabled (#1642, #1635). Object › Expand turns radial, grid and mirror repeats into groups of their instances (#1765, #1756). Select › Same matches type on its characters' fill and stroke (#1746, #1737). Fields commit what was typed when you click away or move to another field, as Enter does; Escape still discards it (#1787). Up and Down move through the command search results and Enter runs the highlighted one (#1798, #1757). Slider rails show on Medium Dark (#1808, #1662). On Windows the custom title bar's window stays truly borderless, so the pointer lines up with what is drawn on systems where the hidden caption offset it (#1791, #1758; awaiting the reporter's confirmation). Tool cursors are painted into the window on Wayland (#1652; not run on Linux, #1645 stays open until confirmed). Roughen with Smooth keeps turn-backs smooth instead of making cusps that draw as spikes (#1646, #1643). Scribble draws one zig-zag per region, with no lines across holes and notches; convex shapes are unchanged (#1651, #1648). EPS import: a stitched shading keeps its hard colour changes (#1654, #1653). 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). File Info dates are stamped only after a save succeeds, so a failed save no longer changes them (#1774). Linked files that change during a drag are updated after the drag instead of being missed (#1773). 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). A drag whose last preview failed is no longer recorded as a committed command in the journal that actions and scripts read (#1775). Tests: text import fuzzing no longer searches installed fonts (#1785). Tests: render tests that add fonts no longer race the frame cache tests (#1795). `text.create`, `text.createInPath` and the MCP `add_text` tool take `justify`, so point type can be centred on or end at its point (#1752, #1748). Control replies are written through a 64 KiB buffer: a 10 MB `document.inspect` reply over loopback on Windows takes 0.25 s instead of 36 s (#1684). 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 MCP server reconnects to the app before a call when the connection was closed or holds stray bytes, after an app restart or an idle expiry (#1739). Image Trace, measured in `image-trace-quality.md`: snap Curves To Lines moves no end of a line by more than 1.6 px, so long lines a degree or two off stay as the image has them (#1647: Technical Drawing's largest distance 4.21 px to 1.46); flat Logo takes the tones a scan's uneven paper makes of one colour for one colour (#1657: on scans 470 paths and 21 px off to 8.5 paths and 0.09 px).

 | 2026-10-13 | minor | `.ai` read as its PDF part: a page whose art reaches past its artboard to the left (notes beside a design) moves right in the row until that art clears the page before it, so it is no longer taken for that page's art; a multi-artboard `.ai` with such notes opened as its PDF part ("the art on them differs from the page's"), without the art outside its artboards, and now opens from its editing data |

+# PDF writer backend
+
+PDF writing uses `craft-pdf` from `storytold/craft-libs`, pinned to
+`f39922b214dc429bcf6551ef71ed3631337b2acf`. Its `write` feature supplies Krilla configuration,
+metadata construction, fallible font preparation and serialization, and native unwind guards.
+The dependency disables default features and enables only `write`.
+The production writer retains Krilla’s raster-image support without its optional text shaper.
+PDF test fixtures enable `simple-text` through a dev dependency.
+
+VectorCraft owns document traversal, drawing, font selection and embedding policy, colour
+conversion, presets, page boxes, layers, editing data, postprocessing and print composition.
+The existing Hayro reader dependencies and editable import adapters keep their current sources.
+Desktop printer submission remains in `craft-print`.
+
+The shared writer vendors Krilla 0.8.2 with an unwind-safe cleanup and poisoning patch.
+The root `[patch.crates-io]` selects that copy from the same immutable revision: Cargo does
+not inherit a dependency workspace's patches. A failed page or surface cleanup poisons the
+backend document, so serialization cannot return an incomplete PDF after unwinding.
+The shared crate's compile-time backend marker and `cargo xtask pdf-deps` (included in CI)
+check that the patched writer is used. Krilla retains its MIT OR Apache-2.0 licensing;
+its upstream provenance and authored patch are recorded in the shared repository.
+
+Export and print construction, drawing and postprocessing run inside the shared native
+unwind guard. These guards do not catch WASM aborts or process-wide allocation failures.
+VectorCraft retains its finite-coordinate checks and the existing behavior that omits art
+outside the writer's supported coordinate range. Font preparation checks the shared
+512 MiB per-font copy limit and variation coordinates before allocation; failure preserves
+VectorCraft's reported outline fallback. The writer is not a peak-memory or runtime budget.

This is not established by the documentation we could find: the public help pages on guides, rulers and the Transform, Control and Properties panels (read again on 2026-10-14) describe selecting and dragging unlocked guides and the panels' X and Y for a selection, not a guide's position in a panel, and the one public statement of it is a user's [community answer](https://community.adobe.com/questions-652/adding-a-new-custom-guide-785586), which is not documentation. It is kept as a convenience pending the owner's decision, with no parity claim and nothing counted towards a score; Select Behind (Ctrl/Cmd-click) tests each object once, so a deep stack of overlapping objects no longer slows it; same objects in the same order (#1571); Commands that take `ids` run on the objects given with nothing selected, over MCP, the control channel and the CLI too (#1577, fixes #1575); Zig Zag spaces its ridges evenly along each segment, so lines and curves get a regular wave in Corner and Smooth (#1558); Warp › Arc (the effect and Envelope › Make with Warp) bends in the object's real proportions: a circular arc with concentric edges and no fold-over at 100%, so Arc on art that isn't square draws differently from before (#1581, fixes #1578); `effect.apply` and `effect.setParams` give an error for a misspelt or wrongly typed effect parameter instead of running the effect with its default (#1623, #1592); Area type in a non-rectangular shape moves a word too wide for the top lines down to the first line that holds it instead of breaking it (#1617, fixes #1615); Stylistic sets (ss01–ss20), stylistic and titling alternates, proportional and lining figures, and superscript and subscript glyphs can be turned on as OpenType features of a character style (`text.setStyle {features}`), and the OpenTypeLine truncated

 - **Fonts:** a font is found by any of its names (family and style in every language of its name table, legacy family/style pairs, PostScript name), so documents from other apps open with the font they name; Find Font and `text.fonts` say for each font whether it was found exactly, by another name, substituted or missing, and how many glyphs are missing. PDF and `.ai` import brings Japanese text back as live type: CID fonts without a ToUnicode map read through the standard CMaps, vertical columns (WMode 1) as vertical type, letter spacing as tracking; a glyph is live type only when the installed font (in the closest style of its family) draws the same glyph, and text in a font that isn't installed comes in as live type shown in the fallback font until the font is installed (exports that draw it — PDF, EPS, EMF/WMF, raster, SVG outlines or embedded fonts — warn that they wrote the fallback font; `textAs: outlines` keeps the PDF's embedded glyphs). Two installed versions of one family and style (a font library keeping an old file beside a new one) both load, the first staying the one the family and style resolve to; PDF and `.ai` import tries each version when the glyphs differ, and type set in a version other than that one names it (`CharStyle::font_version`), which layout, the substituted-glyph highlight, Find Font, Package and Document Info follow. Fonts outside the font folders are listed too: those font services such as Adobe Fonts load on Windows, through DirectWrite, and those apps and font managers register with CoreText on macOS (#579). When a document opens with fonts that aren't available, fonts used only in symbols included, a Missing Fonts dialog lists them after the linked-file questions, with Find Fonts (Type › Find Font on them) and Close. Its Find in Folder… (in Find Font too) searches a folder on several threads, reads only what the font scan reads of font files and skips app packages, the Program Files and ProgramData folders, the system's folders and the app data folders in a home folder; Add Fonts copies the font files the user chooses, suitcase fonts with their resource fork, into VectorCraft's own Fonts folder, which the desktop app and `vectorcraft-cli` read (`text.missingFonts`, `text.findFontFiles`, `text.addFontFiles`). The font scan on Linux also reads the folders fontconfig's configuration lists, such as TeX fonts under `/usr/share/texmf/fonts` (#1548, fixes #1529; not verified on Linux).
   The font database looks up a name that is neither a loaded nor an installed family among the other names of the loaded and installed fonts once for each style it is asked in, and keeps the answer until fonts are added or rescanned. Laying out a story of 1,000 paragraphs set in a font that is not installed, with 400 more fonts loaded, takes a median of 56 to 71 ms instead of 409 to 507 ms on Windows 11 (`CRAFT_FONTS_DIR=<craft-fonts checkout> cargo test --release -p vectorcraft-text --lib missing_font_story_layout_timing -- --ignored --nocapture`).

   - `.vectorcraft` (lossless JSON, compressed, atomic saves, save down to v1), Save As with a format chooser, Save a Copy, Revert, templates, Data Recovery after a crash (browser tabs hold their copies with Web Locks too, so a background tab's copies are never taken for a crash's, and a tab repairs copies another removed when it resumes: #367), background save and export. The desktop app writes its warnings and errors (graphics adapter, a lost graphics device, panics the guard recovered from) to standard error and to `logs/vectorcraft.log` next to the preferences, the two previous runs kept and each file capped at 16 MiB, so a launch without a terminal still leaves something to attach to a bug report (#465). Native documents with a lot of path data (traced or generated art, in layers, symbols or patterns) are saved as compact JSON, about a fifth of the size; small documents stay pretty-printed (#1492). Saving to a network drive on macOS falls back to a plain fsync when the share refuses a full flush (#1625, part of #1620; not confirmed on a real share), and a save still succeeds when a folder refuses the temporary file, the rename over the document or copying permissions: the content is written elsewhere first and copied in, and a failed copy keeps the temporary file and names it (#1649, part of #1620). A document opened by a relative path finds its relatively linked images, and `vectorcraft-cli convert` lists what reading the input left out as `importWarnings` (#1606, fixes #1604).
   - SVG/SVGZ in and out with SVG Options, Preserve Editing, symbols, filters, rich text and physical units (SVG type under a transform or `viewBox` scale opens at the size it draws at, the scale moved into its size, leading, baseline shift and strokes, a stretch, skew or rotation kept as its transform: #396; a top-level group with a clip path, such as a clipped Inkscape layer, opens as a layer with a clipping mask, its name kept: #420; hidden objects written hidden on Save and `convert`, and `data-*` attributes kept as the objects' own data: #522; top-level groups open as layers named from `data-name`, else the id, also when one more group (a transform on all the art, a `<switch>`) wraps them, hidden ones hidden, and a file whose art sits loose under a root `<svg>` with an id (or `data-name`), as one-layer exports write it, opens with its one layer named from it; nested groups stay groups, except the sublayers VectorCraft writes, marked `data-vc-layer`, and Inkscape sublayers, which open as sublayers in their layer's colour: #372); PDF and PDF-compatible `.ai` in and out (layers, with hidden ones kept hidden with their art and nested ones as sublayers, on pages of up to 64 million operators, art whose layer can't be told going to a hidden, non-printing layer rather than showing or printing: #419; strokes kept live, a fill and a stroke of one outline as one object; a type object's stroke written as each glyph's outline stroked back on the type, so it stays one editable object; lines wrapped in a frame (each wrapped line ending in a space, one left edge, leading and font) back as one area type object, left aligned or justified with its paragraph spacing, where laying it out breaks the lines where the file does; glyphs set apart by gaps wider than a space (a barcode's digit groups) keeping their places; layers stacked as the pages mark them even when one first paints on a later page, art ending a layer's marked content or a clip closing in a later layer kept in its own layer, and layers with no art kept empty: #508; art reaching past a plain PDF's page clipped to its crop box, as PDF viewers show it, each such object in a clip group of its own (a PDF-compatible `.ai` opens whole: #675); a `.ai` on its trim boxes with the bleed boxes round them as the document's bleed, as Crop To › Trim opens a PDF (#1266); masks, editable text with type set along a curve coming back as type on a path, each artboard's art on its own page only, an `.ai`'s white page under its layers left out rather than coming in as art, spot colours, presets, security, marks and bleed, ICC output intents, raster effects, subset fonts, PDF/X, PDF layers, overprint, page thumbnails, fast web view, PDF 1.3). CMYK images keep their ink amounts from PDF import (and from placed CMYK TIFFs) to PDF export: a CMYK JPEG passes through unchanged, others stay CMYK (DeviceCMYK, or ICC-based CMYK in PDF/X-3/X-4) unless the Output settings convert them; the canvas shows them through the working CMYK profile (#320). Overprint is kept from PDF import (opened, the PDF part of an `.ai`, placed) to PDF export: the graphics state's `/OP` and `/op` become the overprint of fills, strokes and type, so a spot colour over a process colour still overprints; a page whose overprint can't be read for certain knocks out with a note, as does `/OPM 0` being read as nonzero overprint (#1388; hand-written fixtures, `pdf/src/tests_import_overprint.rs`). A masked CMYK image (`/SMask`, `/Mask` or a colour key) keeps its inks too, its alpha coming in as a greyscale opacity mask.
     SVG import's style cascade, used for hidden objects, non-scaling strokes and type, tests each element only against the `<style>` rules for its id, its classes and its element name, and the rules whose selector ends in none of these (`*`, `[x]`).

   - Files and untrusted input, 2026-10-14 merges: EPS import: a stitched shading keeps its hard colour changes (#1654, #1653). 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). File Info dates are stamped only after a save succeeds, so a failed save no longer changes them (#1774). Linked files that change during a drag are updated after the drag instead of being missed (#1773).
 - **Fields, search and window, 2026-10-14 merges:** Fields commit what was typed when you click away or move to another field, as Enter does; Escape still discards it (#1787). Up and Down move through the command search results and Enter runs the highlighted one (#1798, #1757). Slider rails show on Medium Dark (#1808, #1662). On Windows the custom title bar's window stays truly borderless, so the pointer lines up with what is drawn on systems where the hidden caption offset it (#1791, #1758; awaiting the reporter's confirmation).
+- **Tools, panels and type, later 2026-10-14 merges:** the Transform panel's, Properties panel's and Control bar's X, Y, W and H show and edit the bounds of the anchor points selected with Direct Selection, and a whole-object selection is unchanged (#1839, fixes #1824). With Snap to Grid on, anchors and objects snap to the grid even when Snap to Pixel is also ticked: the grid wins (#1840; #1816 stays open until the reporter confirms). A marquee with the Selection or Direct Selection tool also selects the unlocked ruler guides it crosses (#1836). The toolbar shows no group labels by default (a preference brings them back) and runs on in one or two columns; the All Tools drawer lists the tools by flyout group with their shortcuts, has a menu (Reset, Basic, Advanced) and a Show section for the Fill/Stroke, Coloring, Draw Mode and Screen Mode controls (`toolbar.show`, #1751). An action clicked in the Actions panel stays selected, so Play Current Selection and Delete Selection act on it (#1853, part of #1629; editing actions and action shortcuts remain). Redo pressed during a drag keeps the drag as a step instead of losing the redone edit (#1856, #1719). Preferences are written as soon as OK is pressed, so they survive a session that doesn't end with a normal quit (#1857; #1747 stays open until the reporter confirms). New and Redefine Character Style take the format of the selected text range, also while typing (#1634). Type inside symbols, pattern tiles, graph designs and opacity masks gets its layout bounds back when a native file opens, so warped type in a symbol looks the same after save and reopen (#1833, #1738). Editing, renaming, deleting or merging a global swatch reaches the art of opacity masks, and a swatch used only in a mask is no longer listed as unused (#1830, #1735). On macOS, Save As, Save a Copy and the first Save show their sheet again; the Format menu on the sheet (#866) is withdrawn until the format can be set before the sheet opens, and #866 is open again (#1855; #1800, #1831 and #1518 stay open until confirmed on a Mac).
+- **Files and untrusted input, later 2026-10-14 merges:** SVG import applies style sheet rules with `:not()` selectors, with their nesting bounded (#1799, #1557), no longer stalls on a style sheet with many stacked descendant selectors over deep nesting (#1834, #1703), and reads an SVG's linked files within the automation roots in force again (#1870). DXF export writes the VPORT record's view direction once (group code 36 was written twice, which strict readers reject, #1789). A deeply nested file no longer overflows the stack: nesting is capped at 32 objects (deeper groups are merged with a warning; SVG past 256 elements and PDF past 256 nested arrays are refused), symbols and patterns that use themselves open without the offending instance or paint, and a document nested more than about 40 deep can no longer be saved to a file that won't open again (#1852). PDF and `.ai` files nested deeply inside compressed streams, page trees holding themselves and functions or colour spaces built on themselves no longer crash the app (hayro 0.8; the import runs on a 16 MB thread, #1871); a decompression bomb or impossible predictor parameters are refused (#1873, #1700, #1701); a brush whose art draws the brush again through a symbol or pattern no longer crashes the app, and graph designs, Affinity, DXF, metafiles and plug-ins were probed with hostile input (#1872). Hostile EPS, Affinity and native files can no longer run memory or CPU away through ASCII85 data, PostScript objects holding themselves, flat-colour pixel layers or far and overlapping data offsets (#1863: #1715, #1714, #1704, #1699), and the save fallback for folders that refuse a rename keeps the old file's content until the new one is in (#1695). A file whose ids sit at their largest value no longer breaks new objects (#1718); a failed `command.batch` puts each document back whole, its file, history and a drag in progress included (#1697); a control request that timed out before the app took it never runs later, and the reply says which case it was (#1725, [control-protocol.md](control-protocol.md)); the Eyedropper and recolouring refuse an image too large as RGBA before decoding it (#1717) (all #1862). A save or export that fails is reported in a dialog that names the file and stays until closed, with the document left modified and the old file untouched (#1685); a browser download that can't start fails the save instead of marking it saved (#1693); a file that finishes opening waits while a dialog is open, so Save As options can't save the wrong document (#1694) (all #1865). krilla is built without its text shaping, so the unmaintained rustybuzz and ttf-parser don't ship (#1874, #1730); the CI gate compiles the web app for wasm, and the web's SVG nesting cap (34) follows from its 1 MiB stack (#1875).
+- **Rendering, later 2026-10-14 merges:** copies, symbol instances and repeats that share an appearance keep their stroke outlines between frames (#1667). Wide drop shadows and glows at high zoom render within the raster budget (#1706); stacked Transform effects are bounded (#1705); 3D effects keep the area a nonzero compound path fills (#1724); pattern tiles redraw when a symbol, pattern or image their art shows changes (#1723); a template layer dims its images by its Dim Images percentage instead of fading the whole layer (#1683) (all #1864).
 - **Tool cursors:** the Eyedropper has an original pipette glyph with its tip at the hotspot;
   Use Precise Cursors restores the crosshair. The same glyph feeds OS bitmaps and painted
   cursors. DPI/hotspot and preference checks in `cursors.rs` and `tests_prefs.rs` cover #1269;
   actual OS display and Caps Lock remain unverified. Behaviour reference: [public tool-pointer documentation](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/tools.html#change_tool_pointers). Tool cursors are painted into the window on Wayland (#1652; not run on Linux, #1645 stays open until confirmed). A Precise Cursors command toggles the preference and can take a shortcut (#1663).
 - **Performance:** 20k shapes + 1k texts render in 27 ms per full-retina frame (7.8 ms zoomed), 7× faster than the first version. The UI thread never blocks. The web build is 7.1 MB gzipped. Print-size images (more than 512 MB decoded, up to 2 GB) draw in the canvas and in raster exports and can be trimmed with Crop Image; an image with a side past 65,535 px is shrunk to fit, a raster export says when an image could not be decoded, and Crop Image's trim leaves CMYK images alone (#1517). On Windows `vectorcraft-cli perf` reports the cores busy and, with `--deep`, its working set, and warns on a busy machine as it does on macOS and Linux (#1502).
   The renderer composes the two ink planes of a CMYK document that shows transparency into screen colors on up to as many threads as it rasterizes with, instead of on one. At 2880 × 1800 on 8 threads, a page of 300 shapes at 20% to 90% opacity takes 30 ms a frame instead of 55 ms, and 50,000 paths with one at 99% opacity take 258 ms instead of 361 ms (`vectorcraft-cli bench`), with the same pixels.
+  With Overprint Preview or Separations Preview on, the renderer keeps the art it prepared for the preview from one frame to the next. It prepares again the objects that changed, and all of the art when Discard White Overprint changes or, with Separations Preview, when the plates shown, the proof setup, the swatches, the Spot Colors option or the color settings change or a profile is loaded. It draws the other objects from the art, geometry and stroke outlines it kept for them.
   The Pathfinder panel, Offset Path, Clean Up, Divide Objects Below, Make and Release Blend, Envelope Distort's Make and Release, Repeat (Radial, Grid, Mirror and Release), Vector Halftone, New and Redefine Symbol, Delete Symbol, erasing with the Symbol Sprayer, Rasterize, Convert to Artboards, Flatten Transparency, Clear Guides, Shape Builder, Live Paint, Release Image Trace, Make and Release Opacity Mask, Delete with direct-selected anchor points, Remove Anchor Points, Cut Path, and the Shaper, Knife, Eraser, Path Eraser, Line Cut, Rectangle Cut, Mirror & Cut and Blob Brush tools add and remove objects in one pass over each layer or group they change, and Outline Stroke and Expand write each new object in the place of the object it replaces (#1429).
   Type › Show Hidden Characters keeps the marks it places on each text object from one frame to the next. The canvas lays a text object out again when an edit changes it or its threaded story, or when the last frame that showed the marks did not draw it, and it lays out all type in view again when the fonts or the hyphenation exceptions change. With 1,000 two-line labels in view, drawing the marks takes 0.8 ms per frame in a release build instead of 19.7 ms.
   Delete, Cut, Group, Ungroup, Make and Release Compound Path, Make Clipping Mask, Send to Current Layer, Duplicate, Copy in the Move, Rotate, Scale, Reflect and Shear dialogs, Transform Each with Copy and each move of an Alt-drag take time in proportion to the size of the document (#1429).
+  In the web build the status bar's render and UI times are measured with the browser's `performance.now()`, and the Layers panel stops rendering row thumbnails in a frame once they have taken 8 ms.
   An Alt-drag with the Selection, Direct Selection, Group Selection, Rotate, Scale, Reflect or Shear tool copies the selection on its first move, and the moves after it transform those copies; the previews of the Move, Rotate, Scale, Reflect and Shear dialogs with Copy and Preview on copy the selection once in the same way (#1429).
   When the desktop app opens a document on a thread of its own (#1245), that thread also reads the document's linked files and lays out its type, and the UI thread only adds the finished document: in release builds, the step left on the UI thread takes 0.02 ms instead of 1.04 s for a document with 12 linked 3000 × 2000 TIFFs, and it takes 0.1 ms instead of 0.85 s for one with 300 Auto Size area type objects, every second one in three columns.
   The Layers panel's Delete Selection, Duplicate Selection, Collect in New Layer, Merge Selected, Flatten Artwork, Release to Layers (Sequence) and row drags also take time in proportion to the size of the document, and so do Cut Artboard and Duplicate Artboard with their art and each move of an Alt-drag of one artboard with the Artboard tool while Move/Copy Artwork with Artboard is on (#1429).

This is not established by the documentation we could find: the public help pages on guides, rulers and the Transform, Control and Properties panels (read again on 2026-10-14) describe selecting and dragging unlocked guides and the panels' X and Y for a selection, not a guide's position in a panel, and the one public statement of it is a user's [community answer](https://community.adobe.com/questions-652/adding-a-new-custom-guide-785586), which is not documentation. It is kept as a convenience pending the owner's decision, with no parity claim and nothing counted towards a score; Select Behind (Ctrl/Cmd-click) tests each object once, so a deep stack of overlapping objects no longer slows it; same objects in the same order (#1571); Commands that take `ids` run on the objects given with nothing selected, over MCP, the control channel and the CLI too (#1577, fixes #1575); scores unchanged (estimated) |
