bflatasticandClaude Opus 5.5 695c541f0d M8.17: Edit envelopes on the canvas: Edit Contents, mesh points and handles, Control bar
- Edit Contents: while an envelope's contents are edited, clicks hit the
  content where it sits undistorted and the Selection tool selects it; the
  menu item reads Edit Envelope then. No default shortcut: the reference
  app's (Shift+Cmd+V) is Paste in Place here.
- A selected envelope shows its mesh (a warp's surface grid, a mesh's own,
  a top object's outline) instead of its content's outlines.
- Mesh envelope points get bezier handles (append-only; none stored is the
  smooth Catmull-Rom mesh, which the first handle edit fills in exactly
  along the grid lines). setMeshPoint takes `handle`; object.mesh.movePoint,
  addLine and deletePoint edit mesh envelopes too. The Mesh tool and Direct
  Selection drag points and the clicked point's handles (shared MeshEdit);
  the Mesh tool adds rows and columns inside mesh envelopes. Reset with
  Mesh keeps the shape along the grid with handles; Release returns the
  exact mesh.
- Control bar: Edit Envelope / Edit Contents, warp style, orientation,
  bend and distortions or mesh rows and columns, Reset, Envelope Options.
