 ### Added
 
+- Create, select, move, transfer, and delete canvas and frame guides directly from rulers, with undoable edits and `.fig` round-trip fidelity.
 - Snap vector points, moved layers, and resized edges to nearby geometry, sibling layer bounds, canvas and frame layout guides, and whole-pixel coordinates with visible alignment guides, fractional-coordinate preservation when pixel snapping is off, and persistent geometry, object, and pixel-grid controls in General settings and the Preferences menu.
 - Run Pi through AI SDK HarnessAgent as a configurable desktop provider with multiple saved model profiles, secure credentials, existing MCP design tools, and per-profile thinking and permission settings.
 - Open multiple selected design files in separate tabs.
