* feat: author behaviours on main components
A main component or component set can behave as a Switch, Checkbox,
Slider, or Tabs, after Reka UI's primitives. The behaviour lives in
OpenPencil plugin data: boolean values bind to variant or boolean
properties with the values meaning on and off, a number keeps its own
range since Figma has no number property, and the control's
subcomponents bind to the component's slots. A Behaviour section in the
properties panel adds, binds, and removes it, each as one undo step,
and flags required bindings that are missing. The canvas-only layout's
pill becomes a component that preview will reuse.
* feat: preview instances with behaviours on the canvas
View > Preview (Cmd+Alt+Enter) puts the canvas in preview: a lone canvas
switches to the canvas-only layout with a Previewing pill, and a split
canvas previews on its own side. Clicking a Switch or Checkbox flips it,
dragging a Slider moves its thumb and range, and clicking a Tabs trigger
shows its panel. Preview keeps its state on copies of the instances it
touched, in a private graph with the document's ids, and the canvas
draws those copies in place of the originals, so the document, undo,
autosave, and collaborators never see it. Escape or the pill leaves
preview, Reset restores every control, and editing shortcuts, labels,
and outlines stay off while previewing.
* feat: translate behaviour and preview strings; cover preview with an e2e flow
* refactor(vue): reuse VariantDefinitionControl for behaviour property options
* refactor: split variant actions and preview interactions by domain
Variant authoring was one 706-line closure; it is now graph queries
(model), undo snapshots (history), property definition edits
(definitions), and the editor facade (index). Preview interactions move
into play/kinds, one module per control, registered by behaviour kind so
a new kind cannot ship without its contract and interaction. Behaviour
contracts are keyed by kind. In the Vue SDK, slot and variant authoring
controls get their own folders beside component-props and behaviour,
and the app's variant section joins slot/ and behaviour/.
* refactor: keep the behaviour model in scene-graph's plugin-data registry
Master now defines every OpenPencil plugin-data key in one typed registry
in scene-graph. The behaviour schema registers there as a field, and the
model and contracts move beside slots, exported from the package root;
the @open-pencil/core/behaviours subpath is gone.
* feat: interaction states and keyboard focus in preview
A behaviour can bind a variant property to the default, hover, pressed,
focus, and disabled states; binding it maps values named like those
states. Preview switches the instance's copy to the matching variant as
the pointer hovers, presses, and releases, keeps other values when the
set draws the combination and falls back to rest otherwise, and skips
disabled instances. Tab moves visible keyboard focus between controls,
Space, Enter, arrows, Home, and End use the focused one, and Escape
takes visible focus off before leaving preview. A Button kind covers
controls that only have states.
* feat: toggle, radio, group, progress, collapsible, and accordion behaviours
Radio group, toggle group, and accordion hold their items in a slot;
each item is an instance with its own behaviour, so a press inside the
slot goes to the group, which turns the pressed item on and the others
off through the item's own interaction. Progress shares the slider's
number handling through rangeControl, and a collapsible shows and hides
its content slot from its trigger, remembering its open state even
when no property draws it. Tabs and groups share arrow-key navigation.
* feat: text field, textarea, and number field behaviours
A behaviour value can now be text, bound to a text property, so
preview types into a copy of the field through the same property path
the editor uses. A bound Filled value switches to the placeholder
variant when the field empties. A number field keeps its own range,
shows its value through a text property, and steps from its increment
and decrement slots and the arrow keys. Text fields show focus from a
click, and the focused control receives every key; Option still types,
and only Cmd or Ctrl combinations stay shortcuts.
* fix: keep behaviour bindings when saving as .fig
Saving as .fig gives component properties new GUIDs, but behaviours
kept the old ids in their plugin data, so every binding read as missing
after reopening. The export now renames the ids behaviours bind with
the same GUIDs, on its own copy of the document.
* fix: let previewed controls resize layout imported from .fig
Layers from a .fig keep the sizes Figma computed, and auto layout
prefers them, so an opened collapsible or accordion item kept its
closed height in preview. When preview shows, hides, or retypes a
layer in a copy, it drops those sizes from the layer's copied ancestors
so auto layout sizes them again; untouched layers keep Figma's sizes.
* fix: publish behaviours and other plugin content with library assets
Every OpenPencil plugin-data field now declares its role: content that
exists only as plugin data (behaviours, OkHCL picks), format copies of
node fields written for files, or bookkeeping about where a document
or node came from. Library snapshots keep a node's content plugin data,
including other plugins' entries, and drop the rest; the asset hash
counts the same entries, so a behaviour-only change is offered as an
update while a .fig round trip still changes nothing.
* feat: name behaviour rows by meaning and create what they need
The Behaviour section named every main value "Value" under a "Values"
heading, and a component without matching properties left an empty
picker with no way forward. Rows are now named for the control (On,
Checked, Pressed, Text), rows the control needs or already uses come
first, and the optional rest folds under More options; a button keeps
its states in view. An empty row creates what it needs in one undo
step: a text layer and text property, Off and On variants on a set, or
a slot frame for a part. The missing chip names the row it means and
takes you there.
* fix(dom-css): position free layers, hug content, and round ellipses
HTML and Tailwind export stacked the layers of frames without auto
layout in block flow, wrote fixed pixel sizes for auto layout frames
set to Hug and for auto-sizing text, and drew ellipses as boxes. Layers
a parent does not lay out are now absolutely positioned at their
coordinates inside a relative frame, hugging axes are left to the
content, and ellipses get a 50% radius.
* feat: run preview as live Reka UI islands over the canvas
Preview simulated controls on the canvas: copies of instances, a
handler per kind, its own key routing, and append-only text. It now
runs them as real components. Each top-level layer that holds an
instance with a behaviour becomes an island: its layers are projected
to DOM through dom-css into a shadow root laid over the pane at its pan
and zoom, and each behaviour mounts its Reka UI primitives on its
layers, so text fields are real inputs and focus, keys, and layout are
the browser's. Core's resolvePlayState shows instances in a state on a
private graph, so the component's variants draw it, and controls are
keyed by layer path so a variant switch keeps their DOM. The canvas
leaves island layers to the islands, and the canvas play runtime and
its key routing are gone.
* fix: derive variant properties from Property=Value component names
figma.combineAsVariants and Combine as variants only derived variant
properties from slash-separated names, so components named as Figma
names variants, such as State=On, Size=Large, became a set with no
properties. Both now derive each named property and its values, after
the slash form.
* feat: script and tool access to behaviours by name
Behaviour contracts follow Reka UI's anatomy: tabs keep their triggers
in the list slot and their content panels in a panels slot, and a slot
of repeated parts names the Reka part of its children. A behaviour
spec names component properties and slots instead of ids and resolves
to the stored behaviour and back, with errors that list what the
component has.
Scripts get an `openpencil` global next to `figma`, in the Figma API's
style: setBehaviour, getBehaviour with bindValue, bindPart, states,
and missing, behaviourKinds, and createSlot. The eval tool, the CLI,
and app automation compile scripts through one compileScript, so the
CLI now returns the last expression as the others do. MCP and AI chat
get set_behaviour, get_behaviour, and create_slot.
* feat: write controls in design JSX with Reka UI's element names
`<Switch.Root modelValue="State">` renders a main component, or a set
when its children are variants, that behaves as a switch, and
`<Switch.Thumb>` the slot that draws its thumb, one slot across the
set's variants. Inputs become the text property of a field, tab
triggers and panels go in their List and Panels slots, and a group's
items are `<RadioGroup.Item of={…} />` instances in its Items slot.
JSX export writes components with behaviours the same way, so they
render back unchanged. The authoring reference documents controls, and
the codegen and chat prompts now include it verbatim instead of
dedenting its code examples.
* chore: format the CLI export test
* docs: document slots, behaviours, preview, and the openpencil API
The components guide covers slots, behaviours, and preview with its
shortcut; scripting covers the openpencil global and eval's last-
expression result; the MCP and AI chat pages list the new tools; the
features overview, README, and roadmap mention working controls. The
chat prompt says how to build a control, and the codegen prompt builds
components with behaviours on their Reka UI primitives.
* chore: format the eval CLI test
* docs: explain behaviours and preview islands, and guide the openpencil API
A development page explains the behaviour model, the four authoring
surfaces, how preview islands turn a control's state into live Reka UI
components, and how to add a kind; the architecture page links it. The
Core guide sets the rules for OpenPencilAPI: Figma-only `figma`,
OpenPencil features on `openpencil` in the same style, one
compileScript, names over ids, and docs with every member. Package
READMEs mention the openpencil global, PlayIslands, Reka-named JSX, and
the behaviour model. Design JSX's behaviour modules move into a
behaviours folder instead of a suffixed sibling.
* refactor: center pasted layers through translate
centerNodesAt repeated translate's loop, which test:dupes reports on
master too.
* fix: validate behaviour ranges and guess on and off by name
A number value now needs max above min and a positive step: the schema,
specs, and the panel reject a range a slider cannot step through. Binding
a variant property guesses on and off by value name, as specs do, and a
boolean property gets no on/off pair. Part bindings are read through
partBinding, a replaced document restarts preview from its designed
state, and the e2e preview shortcut uses ControlOrMeta.
* feat: make the Behaviour section say what to do next
A slider's range fields now carry inline Min, Max, Step, and Start labels.
States offers Add state variants, which adds a Default, Hover, Pressed,
Focus, and Disabled variant and binds them; Add Off and On variants and
Add state variants turn a lone main component into a component set first,
and a part's slot can be added to a set, in every variant under one slot
id. Rows that could do nothing are gone: no empty pickers and no hints to
combine variants by hand, and an unbound Disabled is left to the states.
A warning line names what is still needed and replaces the missing chip,
and the Switch's main value is called Checked.
* fix: keep each slot to one part and keep creating slots at hand
A slot draws one part, so the Behaviour section no longer offers a slot
another part uses, and specs (the openpencil API, tools, and JSX) reject
binding one slot to two parts. A part's picker keeps an action to add a
new slot in its footer, so adding the first slot no longer hides it for
the other parts.
* feat: write variable-bound properties as tokens in exported code
HTML and Tailwind JSX export reference the design tokens a layer is bound to, var(--color-primary) or bg-primary, instead of baking in their values. A binding becomes a reference only where the stylesheet resolves it as the canvas draws it: the layer still draws the value, the token's unit fits the property, and an attribute such as data-theme="dark" can put the element in the layer's mode. Standalone HTML includes the stylesheet for the tokens it uses, compiled into Tailwind's @theme for Tailwind pages.
* refactor: share the collection variable list and tighten token helpers
Read every variable in collection order through one collectionVariables helper built on es-toolkit's compact, used by the stylesheet and the token references, and map padding sides and color channels instead of repeating them.
* feat: write variables as a CSS token stylesheet
Copy a collection as CSS custom properties or a Tailwind v4 theme from the variables dialog, print it with openpencil tokens, and rebuild design_to_tokens on the same generator. Default modes go in :root or @theme, other modes override under their condition, and aliases are declared again in each mode scope so they follow it.
* fix: give modes that slug alike their own selector and variant
Two modes in one collection whose names reduce to the same slug, such as Dark and dark!, shared one default selector and Tailwind variant, so the later mode silently overrode the earlier one. Slugs are now numbered in mode order, as variable names already are.
* feat(app): add slot property controls and a shared picker
AppPicker is a searchable, grouped list that opens beside the properties
panel, built on Reka's popover and listbox so search keeps arrow-key
navigation. It has comfortable rows with a thumbnail and description and
compact rows for plain names, plus an optional footer action.
The slot property row shows whether an instance's slot is Default or
Modified, its item count, its limits with a checklist popover, Add
instances on AppPicker, and Reset slot and Delete contents. These are
presentational; wiring them to the editor follows. Strings are English
only until the locale files catch up.
* feat(app): open variable, style, and instance-swap choices in the shared picker
The variable binding picker, the shared style fields, and instance-swap
properties now open AppPicker: a titled panel beside the properties panel
with search that keeps arrow-key navigation, a check on the current
choice, and footer actions. Variable binding keeps its detach and
create-variable actions. Instance-swap choices list the property's
preferred components first; instanceSwapOptions keeps the preferred flag
it already computed. AppPickerField gives select-shaped fields the same
picker with a combobox trigger.
* feat(core): edit instance slot content
Only an instance's slots take layers now. slotScope classifies a parent as
free, a slot of an instance, or the locked rest of an instance. Moves,
reorders, layer-panel drops, paste, duplicate, and instance creation
claim an untouched slot first, as Figma does on the first edit, and
refuse the locked part; drops over it land in the instance's parent.
Claiming keeps the layers but unlinks them from the component and moves
the instance's overrides on nested instances onto those instances.
Reset slot, Delete contents, and Add instance are editor actions, each
one undo step that restores the instance's subtree. A canvas drop or
reorder that claims a slot undoes together with the move.
* feat(app): show and edit slot properties of the selected instance
The component properties section lists each slot of the selected instance
with its state, item count and limits, and adds instances, resets or clears
its content through the editor's slot actions. The slot model lives in the
Vue SDK as useSlotProperties.
* feat(app): outline slots on the canvas and mark them in the layers panel
Hovering or selecting a component, an instance, or a layer inside a slot
draws its slots with a dashed pink outline and tints empty ones. Slot
frames are selected and hovered in pink and show a dashed-square icon in
the layers panel.
* test(app): cover slot outlines with canvas snapshots
* feat(app): translate slot and picker strings
* docs: note slot editing and the shared picker
* refactor: share slot test and story setup
* refactor(app): name the picker's header prop heading
* feat(core): create, configure, and remove slots on main components
A frame of a main component becomes a slot through a SLOT property
named after it; other sibling layers are first wrapped in an auto
layout frame. Slot settings and removal are single undo steps.
Instances now follow the component's property bindings on sync, so a
slot created or removed on the component reaches existing instances.
Slot helpers move to a slots domain folder in Scene Graph and Core.
* feat(app): create and configure slots from the menu and properties panel
Create slot joins the canvas context menu for layers of a main
component. A Slots section on main components and their frames
renames slots, sets their description, layer limits, and preferred
components, and removes them.
* fix: keep slot claims in the same undo step and refuse wraps inside instances
Creating an instance and pasting HTML now batch the slot claim with the
edit. Undoing an added slot instance restores the previous selection.
Grouping or wrapping layers in the locked part of an instance is
refused, and a section that cannot move no longer claims a slot. The
picker clears its search however it closes, and its close and slot
actions labels are translated.
* feat(core): create and inspect slots through the plugin API
component.createSlot() adds a 100x100 frame named Slot, Slot 2, and so
on, bound to a new SLOT property, as live Figma does. Slot frames read
type SLOT, resetSlot() restores an instance slot's component content,
and limitViolations reports BELOW_MIN, ABOVE_MAX, and
HAS_NON_PREFERRED for instance slots. addComponentProperty and
editComponentProperty take a description and slotSettings, a cloned
slot is a plain frame, and componentPropertyReferences uses property
keys in both directions. The limit checks move to Scene Graph so the
Vue SDK and the plugin API share them.
* fix: keep nested slot content across swaps and read nested instance properties
A nested instance points at the instance it was cloned from, so its
component properties resolved to nothing. Properties now resolve through
those links to the main component, and a swap or variant switch parks
the slot content nested instances own and restores it into nested
instances of the same names, as live Figma does. Plugin appendChild and
insertChild claim the slot they add to and refuse the locked part of an
instance with Figma's error.
* test(core): record resetSlot on a main component slot; fix the Slots roadmap row
* fix(core): refuse deleting layers outside an instance's slots
As in Figma, delete and plugin remove() leave an instance's own layers
and its slot frames alone, while removing slot content claims the slot
in the same undo step as the delete.
* test(app): wait for the bulk rename dialog to close before the next shortcut
* feat(app): unify add, remove, and settings controls in the properties panel
A section's + adds an item and a row's - removes it everywhere: grid
tracks and variant properties now follow the fill and effect lists, and
the header + of a component set adds Property 1 ready to rename instead
of an inline form. Removing a variant is Delete, as for any layer.
Row settings share the sliders icon, the variables button opens with
its own icon, every icon button requires a label, and the instance
header buttons use sentence case. Create Slot joins the app menu.
* docs: note the unified properties panel controls
* feat(app): animate floating panels alike and share the severity icon
Popovers, menus, selects, comboboxes, and pickers now fade and grow in
from the side they open on and fade out on close, from one motion
preset that respects reduced motion; tooltips keep the tooltip preset.
SeverityIcon and its colours move from the design check to shared
feedback UI, and slot limits use them, so a broken limit reads like a
design-check warning.
* docs: note consistent popover and menu animation
* feat(app): give every floating panel one surface and close it at once
Popovers, menus, selects, comboboxes, pickers, presence cards, chat
history, and the issue tooltip share one rounded surface with a 1px
ring that outlines it in both themes; one-line tooltips keep a compact
shape with the same edge. The select theme's radius and elevation
options and local shadow overrides are gone. Panels still grow in from
their side but now close immediately: a fading modal menu kept blocking
the canvas and shortcuts until it unmounted.
* fix(app): keep a reopened context menu open and name option-drag undo Duplicate
Closing the canvas menu hands focus back to the canvas; when that
landed just after a quick reopen, the new menu closed as focus moved
outside it. Shortcuts no longer wait for a panel that is already
closing, and an option-drag duplicate that claims a slot is undone as
Duplicate rather than Move.
* test(app): wait for menus and popovers to close before the next key
Eleven translated pages changed in English since the last release without
matching updates: system requirements, the Lint tab, AI chat diff tools,
collaboration with agents, design JSX imports and export fidelity,
Storybook and live-app export, lint fixes, page navigation, and Checking
Designs. Bring de, es, fr, it, pl, and ru up to date, add the sections
the abridged translations lacked where a change landed, use each
language's UI labels, and point the export page at documents list.
* fix(app): record MCP and CLI structural edits as undo steps
The automation bridge ran non-atomic tools, render, and eval without an
undo entry, so Edit > Undo could not revert layers an MCP client or the
CLI created, deleted, or rearranged. Snapshot the page around these
edits as the AI chat does, and skip the entry when nothing changed so
read-only scripts leave the history alone.
* feat(app): activate documents, undo, redo, and change settings over automation
Add activate_document, undo, redo, get_settings, and update_settings to
the app's automation bridge. Settings cover appearance, snapping, canvas
rendering, recovery, and chat preferences, validated with Valibot and
applied through their owning stores; credentials, models, MCP
connections, storage, and tool access stay out of reach.
* feat(mcp): expose document activation, history, and settings tools
* feat(cli): manage documents, history, settings, and tools in the running app
Turn documents into a command group (list, open, new, save, close,
activate), add undo, redo, and settings get/set, and add tool
list/describe/call so every MCP tool runs from the shell, against the
running app or headlessly on a file.
* docs: document app control from the CLI and MCP
* fix: never prompt in the app from automation closes and saves
close_file opened the app's Save changes dialog, which an agent cannot
answer: the call timed out and the dialog stayed open. It now fails on
unsaved changes unless the caller passes unsaved "save" or "discard"
(CLI --save or --discard). save_file and new_document no longer open a
Save dialog for a document that was never saved, report a failed save
as an error, and leave the document untouched when the path is refused.
* docs: describe non-interactive close and save
* fix: address review findings in app automation
Keep a document's source when a save to a new path fails, report
vector-edit undo and redo no-ops as unapplied, echo only the applied
patch from update_settings so writing cannot read settings, reject
tool call --write/--output without a file, and stop settings get from
following inherited keys.
* fix(app): record render undo on the page that receives the layers
A render into a parent on another page was snapshotted against the
target page, so undo left the new layers in place. Snapshot the page
that contains the parent instead, and document that eval edits made
after switching pages stay outside the undo step.
* feat(app): limit automation undo to its own steps and expose design check settings
The undo history is shared with the person in the editor, so an agent's
undo could revert the user's last edit. Automation undo and redo now act
only on steps made through the bridge, and only while they are newest;
otherwise they fail and leave the history alone. Vector edit mode's
session history is off limits entirely. Settings automation also covers
the design check preferences that landed on master.
* fix(automation): export layers from a page that is not on screen
The app's raster export rendered against the page on screen unless the
caller passed a page, so MCP export_image with ids on any other page, or
with page_id naming another page, failed with "Raster export selection
must stay on a single page". Automation shares one app between clients,
so the page on screen says nothing about what a request means.
Render on the page that holds the requested layers instead. The user's
view and selection stay where they were.
* fix(cli): export the requested page from the running app
`openpencil export --page` never reached the app: `exportViaApp` only
forwarded `--document-id` and `--page-id`, and the app's `export` RPC
exported the given nodes or the selection on screen, ignoring the target
page. `--page` and `--page-id` therefore exported whatever was selected.
The CLI now resolves `--page` to a page ID through `list_documents` and
asks for a page-scoped export. The app answers a page-scoped export with
the layers of the target page, loading a `.fig` page that has not been
shown yet without switching to it.
CLI tests address the package source by `#cli/`, as Core and fig tests
already do, so the alias owner widens to the whole package.
* fix(automation): prepare fonts and layout for a page exported off screen
A page export loaded the layers of a page that had not been shown, but not
its fonts or layout, so text and auto layout could render differently from
the screen. preparePageNodes runs the same font and layout pass as a page
switch, once per page, without switching or superseding a switch.
The CLI export test now writes its own discovery file, so it no longer
replaces or removes the record of an app that is running.
* fix(automation): prepare a .fig page before running a tool on it
A `.fig` opens with only its first page populated; the others get their
layers, fonts and layout when first shown. The automation tool handler built
its FigmaAPI on the target page without loading it, so MCP tools aimed at a
page nobody had opened (`page_id`) saw an empty page: find_nodes found
nothing, export_image reported "No visible nodes to export", and create_shape
added a shape to a page that then held only that shape.
Prepare the target page first with preparePageNodes, as page exports do:
layers, fonts and layout, once per page. The page on screen does not change.
* fix(automation): render explicit export IDs on the page that holds them
Since the visual diff tools, the automation FigmaAPI passes its target page
with every raster export, so export_image with IDs from another page asked to
render them on the target page and failed with "Raster export selection must
stay on a single page". The page now names which layers to export only when no
IDs are given; an ID list is rendered on its own page.
* fix(core): share one off-screen page preparation between concurrent callers
Two concurrent preparePageNodes calls for the same page both populated it
and resolved its fonts, and the font manager's blocked-node set has no
reference count, so the first to finish unblocked text the second was still
resolving. Callers now share the in-flight preparation, which is kept once
it succeeds and retried after a failure.
preparePageNodes also reports whether the page is ready, so a caller can
refuse to run on a page whose document was closed or replaced mid-way
instead of acting on a page with no layers. Its unused options are gone:
one caller's signal cannot cancel a shared preparation.
* fix(automation): prepare the target page once for every command
Preparing an unshown .fig page lived in the page export handler, so explicit
export IDs, export_jsx, eval, tools, and the RPC fallback still saw such a
page as empty. The request dispatcher now prepares the resolved target page
before any page-targeted command, and stops with an error when the page's
document closed while it loaded.
* docs(changelog): fold the off-screen page fixes into one entry
* refactor(automation): rely on the dispatcher to prepare a tool's target page
The request dispatcher now prepares the target page before every
page-targeted command, so the tool handler no longer does it itself. The
tests run tools through the dispatcher, which is where that guarantee lives.
* docs(changelog): drop the tool entry now covered by the off-screen page fix

* feat: check designs live with a Check panel and canvas issue markers
Design lint only ran from the CLI and AI tools, and its rules were too noisy
to show continuously: on a real imported page 786 of 888 layers had a
warning. The rules now report where a finding is actionable (a hardcoded
color only when a variable matches it, nesting only where the limit is
crossed, instance sublayers through their main component) and carry
structured data, and Recommended keeps warnings for likely problems.
The app checks the current page after edits settle. The Check tab groups
issues by rule with hover highlighting, reveal on click, and one-step
variable binding. Errors and warnings are marked on the canvas with
clustered markers that roll up to visible ancestors when zoomed out; markers
explain themselves on hover, open Check on click, and toggle with
View > Design issues.
* fix: keep the right panel and markers stable
The Check tab made the right-panel tab row overflow at common window widths,
so focusing the zoom menu scrolled the row and shifted the panel. Code and
AI tabs now drop their labels to screen readers when the row is narrow.
Touch target names are matched as whole words: "Rectangle" contained "cta"
and marked every rectangle. Markers also stay drawn during interactive edits
instead of blinking while a value is scrubbed.
* fix(ui): show right panel tab labels whenever they fit
* fix(ui): name the design check tab Lint and keep panel tabs consistent
The tab was an unlabelled icon between labelled Code and AI tabs. It is now
Lint, with the same icon and label anatomy as its neighbours, and its icon
takes the severity color instead of a count badge. All labelled tabs show
their labels when the row fits and drop them together when it does not.
* refactor(ui): build the Lint panel from shared components
Issue groups use AppCollapsible, actions use AppButton, and the severity
filters are a Reka toggle group with keyboard navigation. Issue rows no
longer nest a button inside a button. Panel state, visibility and the
focused-issue scroll live in useDesignCheckPanel, the rules menu is its own
component, and rule preferences change through preference actions.
Severity ordering reuses Core's ranking, detail numbers follow the app
language, and the check debounce uses useTimeoutFn.
* fix(lint): check the WCAG AA touch target size in the Recommended preset
Recommended flagged a 394 × 39 input because it required the 44 × 44 AAA size. It now checks the 24 × 24 AA minimum through a minSize option; Strict and Accessibility keep 44 × 44.
* feat(lint): fix design issues from rules, the Lint panel, the CLI, and agents
Rules attach fixes as data: a safe fix keeps the design as it looks (bind a
color to the variable it matches, round subpixel geometry that layout does
not own), a suggestion changes values (snap radius and spacing to the
scale, raise small text to the minimum). One Core applier re-validates
each fix against the current graph and merges changes per layer.
The Lint panel offers a fix per row and Fix all for safe fixes as one undo
step; openpencil lint --fix writes the fixed document; the lint and
lint_fix tools expose the same to MCP and AI chat.
The design-check spec's Close button is now 24 x 20: at 24 x 24 it passes
the WCAG AA touch target size that Recommended checks.
* feat(lint): pin issues outside the view to the canvas edge
Errors and warnings on layers outside the viewport had no marker, so a
check could report issues nobody could see. They are now pinned to the
canvas edge where a ray from the viewport center toward them leaves it,
with a chevron pointing their way; pins in one direction merge like
markers. Hovering lists them under the direction they lie in, and
clicking reveals and opens the most severe, nearest one.
Pins keep clear of UI floating over the canvas: the toolbar marks itself
with data-canvas-obstacle, and canvases report such rectangles to the
renderer through getOverlayObstacles each frame.
* feat(lint): mark layers with design issues in the Layers panel
Like an IDE marks files with problems and the folders holding them, a
layer with errors or warnings shows the most severe as an icon, and a
collapsed layer with issues inside it shows a dot in that color.
Suggestions stay in the Lint panel, as on the canvas, and the marks
follow the View → Design issues toggle.
* feat(lint): show issues per page and across the document
Loaded pages beyond the current one are now checked in the background,
one page at a time while the editor is idle, and checked again only when
an edit touches them; pages a large .fig file has not loaded are left
alone until opened rather than forced in. The page list shows each page's
errors and warnings like an IDE's problem count, and the Lint panel gains
a Document scope that lists every page's issues, tags the ones on other
pages, and switches to a row's page when it is opened.
* test(lint): use the core-tests alias and no comma operator in lint tests
Master now rejects ../../ imports and the comma operator in tests.
* refactor(app): create the Lint session with the editor store modules
The composition root passed its line budget once master added recent
pages; the Lint session belongs with the other per-editor services that
the modules factory creates and disposes.
* docs(changelog): keep master's latest Unreleased entries
* feat(core): add visual diff and patch apply tools
diff_visual renders two nodes at one scale through the existing raster export, compares them with pixelmatch, and returns the diff PNG with the changed ratio and region in source-node coordinates. It takes export_image's scale and maxEdge inputs. FigmaAPI gains a CanvasKit-backed raster codec and a pageId export option, so the app and headless CLI decode pixels and render nodes off the current page.
diff_apply applies diff_create and diff_show patches through the Figma API, validates every node before changing any, and supports dryRun and force. diff_show now simulates changes on a detached copy with the same property code. One serializer and parser back all three. diffDocuments compares two documents page by page by name path.
Image tool results now reach models as media with their metadata as text, for any tool rather than export_image alone. diff_create, diff_jsx, and diff_visual join the default AI tool set, and the diff tools are no longer hidden from WebMCP.
* feat(cli): add diff commands and agent diff guidance
openpencil diff create, jsx, show, apply, and visual run the Core diff tools on a file or the running app; apply writes back with --write or --output like eval. diff files compares two documents page by page and exits 1 when they differ.
The chat prompt asks the agent to edit in place and to verify risky edits against a reference copy with diff_jsx, diff_create, and diff_visual. The skill, CLI reference, MCP tool table, and a new Comparing Designs page document the commands and tools.
* feat(core): diff and patch node trees as JSX attributes
diff_create, diff_show, diff_apply, and diffDocuments used a hand-rolled
`key: value` property format that covered about fifteen properties,
matched children by name path, and could not see moves.
Nodes are now projected to the attributes the JSX export prints, and
jsondiffpatch matches children (by ID or by name path) and detects
moves. Patches list `-`/`+` attribute lines per node plus moved, added,
and removed children. diff_apply checks every hunk first, applies
attribute changes through the renderer's prop handling, and changes only
the fields an attribute moves, so IDs, instance links, and other state
survive. diff_show takes JSX attributes instead of a JSON props object.
design-jsx gains sceneNodeAttributes, parseJSXAttributes, and
jsxNodeFields for this, and the export round-trip property table is
shared so every case is also diffed and applied. `diff files` loads its
documents in order so node IDs, and so its patches, are deterministic.
* fix(core): keep diff_apply atomic and diff files honest about differences
- Added nodes render before anything else changes; if one fails, for
example on a missing component, the rendered ones are deleted and
nothing else is committed.
- A hunk with an attribute the renderer ignores fails instead of
reporting "unchanged".
- diffDocuments reports `changed` from page statuses, and a page only
one document has gets its status but no patch, since patches do not
add or remove pages. diff files uses it, so an added empty page no
longer reads as a match.
- diff files rejects a --page neither document has and a --depth that
is not a non-negative integer, exiting 2; diff_create's depth is
validated the same way.
* feat(cli): export Storybook stories beside many documents
Accept several documents, or a quoted glob such as 'src/**/*.pen', and add --beside to write each document's stories, design images, and manifest into the document's own folder, next to the component's code. Documents export one after another, since documents in one folder share its manifest; a failed document is reported and the rest still export. --watch covers every matched document through one queue. Several documents need --beside or --output, and --page takes a single document.
Refs #727
* fix(cli): resolve Storybook export documents by existence, not glob syntax
Deciding between a path and a pattern by looking for glob characters missed
extglobs, so 'src/+(a|b).pen' was opened as a literal filename, and it flagged
an escaped star, so a file genuinely named that way went to the matcher. The
character list also could not agree with Node's matcher: is-glob rejects a
bare '?', picomatch accepts a parenthesised directory name.
An existing path is now that file, and everything else goes to glob(), which
matches a plain path to itself and expands every pattern it supports.

instance.swapComponent(component) points an instance at another component, as in Figma, through the graph's shared swap that the editor's variant picker uses. It asserts editability, so an instance inside a read-only library definition cannot be swapped, and joins the instance surface check against @figma/plugin-typings.
instance.detachInstance() turns an instance into a frame that keeps its content, as in Figma, from scripts run through eval. It reuses the graph's shared detach implementation, asserts editability like the proxy's other mutations, and joins the instance surface check against @figma/plugin-typings.
Scripts written for Figma's dynamic-page mode can call figma.getNodeByIdAsync() and instance.getMainComponentAsync(); both resolve to the same nodes as their synchronous forms. getMainComponentAsync joins the instance surface type check against @figma/plugin-typings.
* feat(cli): export components as Storybook stories
Add `openpencil export -f storybook`, which writes one CSF3 `.stories.ts`
file per component set or component. Each variant becomes a story and the
variant properties become select controls, so the story renders the matching
variant; an unknown combination throws instead of showing another variant.
Stories embed the existing inline-style HTML projection, so consumers need no
OpenPencil runtime. `--framework react|vue|html` only changes the render
wrapper and the Meta/StoryObj import. When the document sits under the current
directory, stories carry an `openpencil://` design link for
@storybook/addon-designs.
Refs #727
* fix(pen): size auto-width text from its content on import
Text without a width in an auto-layout parent was imported 10000px wide, a placeholder the app's text measurer replaces. Headless layout keeps stored sizes, so CLI HTML and Storybook exports stretched hugging frames to over 10000px. Import the width as 0 so the importer's existing text-length estimate applies, and headless layout estimates the rest.
* feat(app): follow layer links to other pages
openpencil:// and web ?node= links only searched the current page, so a Storybook story linking to a component on another page reported it missing. When the current page has no match, load the other pages without showing them and switch to the first that carries the name.
* feat(cli): add design images and watch mode to Storybook export
Each story now links to its own variant when the layer name is unique, and carries a 2x PNG of the variant for @storybook/addon-designs, imported so Vite bundles it. --watch re-exports on every save. Re-exports replace the stories a previous export of the same document generated, including those of deleted components, and refuse to overwrite hand-written stories or another document's.
Refs #727
* fix(cli): reference Storybook design images without ambient PNG types
Import design images with new URL(..., import.meta.url) instead of an import declaration, so consumers need no vite/client types to typecheck the stories. Document that exports should run from the same directory.
* fix(app): search other pages for a link without cancelling page switches
The cross-page layer search prepared each page with preparePage, which advances the page-switch generation, so a page switch the user had in progress could be dropped, and every searched page paid for fonts and layout. Add loadPageNodes, which populates a page's layers through the same worker path without touching the switch generation, and report a failed search as an error instead of a missing layer.
* fix(pen): never import width-less text zero wide
Text without a width now imports at width 0 and relies on the importer's text-length estimate, which skipped single-glyph text. Estimate zero-width text of any length.
* fix(cli): harden Storybook export ownership, titles, and links
- A --page export replaces only its own stories, and names files as a full export does, so it cannot delete or overwrite other pages' stories.
- Same-named components on a page get distinct titles, so Storybook story ids do not collide.
- Read the generated header through CRLF line endings, and refuse a source containing a line break, which would end the header comment and start code.
- Link a story only to a layer name no other layer carries.
- Document the --page default for Storybook export.
Refs #727
* fix(app): let a page switch overtake a link's layer search
A link search that loads other pages could resume after the user started switching pages and move them to the matching page. Expose pageSwitchCount, which advances whenever a page switch starts, and abandon the search when it changes. An overtaken search reports neither a match nor a missing layer.
* fix(pen): estimate only omitted text widths
Estimate a width-less text node's width when it is imported, instead of estimating every zero-width text node afterwards, so an explicit width of 0 is kept.
* fix(cli): track Storybook story ownership by document path and page
- Identify the document by its path relative to the output directory rather than a basename or cwd-relative path, so same-named documents do not share stories and the export no longer depends on the working directory.
- Record the page in each story's header; a --page export replaces all of that page's stories and asks for a full export when renumbered file names land on another page's.
- Check every target, including design images, before removing anything, and refuse to overwrite files this export does not own.
- Quote the header fields as JSON with U+2028/U+2029 escaped, so any path stays inside the comment, instead of refusing line breaks.
- Deduplicate titles by Storybook id, which ignores case and punctuation.
Refs #727
* fix(app): focus a searched page only after its switch committed
A page switch the user starts while the link search's own switch is pending can keep that switch from committing. Check that the search's switch was the only one and landed on its page before focusing; otherwise report the search as superseded.
* fix(pen): keep empty text without a width at zero
* fix(cli): remove only the design images a Storybook export generated
Replacing a story removed its whole .design folder, including files someone else put there. Read the images each owned story references, remove just those, and remove a .design folder only once it is empty.
Refs #727
* test(app): cover a page switch still pending during a link search
The previous test committed the overtaking switch, so the page check alone caught it. Advance the switch count without committing, so the test fails without the count check.
* fix(cli): stage Storybook exports and refuse linked design folders
- Write every file to a staging folder inside the output before removing the previous export, then move them into place, so a failed write no longer leaves the export half replaced.
- Refuse a .design path that is not a real folder, such as a symbolic link, before removing or writing images through it, so an export cannot reach outside the output directory.
Refs #727
* refactor(dom-css): print Storybook stories from a parsed template
Story modules were assembled from string fragments, so quoting and
layout were an implicit contract: the CLI found design images with a
regex that only matched double-quoted `new URL("…")` paths.
A story module is now one TypeScript template, parsed once with acorn
and its TypeScript plugin. Data is filled into `$placeholder` nodes and
the module is printed with esrap, which owns quoting and escaping. The
CLI reads referenced design images back through `storyImagePaths()`
instead of matching text. Tests import generated modules and assert
values rather than formatting.
* refactor(storybook): track generated files in a manifest
The export recovered which files it owned by parsing its own output: a
header regex over JSON-quoted strings, line-separator escaping, CRLF
handling, an AST walk for design images, and a path regex in the CLI.
A `.openpencil-stories.json` manifest now records the document and page
behind each generated file. The CLI validates it with Valibot, including
that every listed path stays inside the output folder, and the story
header is a plain note. Story ids use a copy of Storybook's `sanitize`,
tested against the installed Storybook; the previous rule treated `A§B`
and `A-B` as the same story. Export names use es-toolkit's `pascalCase`.
The CLI export command moves into `commands/export/`, dom-css splits
grouping and naming out of the Storybook exporter, and the CLI takes the
framework list from dom-css.
* fix(pen): keep explicit narrow text widths
A post-import pass widened every multi-character text narrower than two
font sizes, including widths the `.pen` file set on purpose, such as
`width: 0`. Omitted widths are now estimated when the text node is
created, so the pass only overrode explicit widths and is removed.

* refactor!: register HTML and Tailwind JSX as IO formats
HTML and Tailwind JSX went around the IO registry: the CLI appended
`html` to its format list and had its own HTML and Tailwind export paths,
so the app's export options offered neither.
Core now registers `html` and `tailwind-jsx` adapters built on a new
browser-safe `@open-pencil/dom-css/export` entry. Export results can
carry assets written next to the main file, which covers standalone HTML
with external images and fonts, and the CLI writes every format the same
way. The CSS object model and Node file access load only when an export
needs them, so the app bundle stays free of the headless CSS runtime.
BREAKING CHANGE: `sceneNodesToTailwindJSX` and `designDocumentToTailwindJSX`
moved from `@open-pencil/dom-css/browser` to `@open-pencil/dom-css/export`.
* refactor(core): share export support and fixed-size options across IO formats
Five adapters export every target and six have no scale or quality
options; the new HTML and Tailwind JSX adapters repeated those blocks
again. Both are now named once and shared.
* fix(core): keep HTML asset paths relative for Windows output paths
The CLI passed the absolute output path as the export file name, and the
HTML adapter only split it on `/`, so on Windows the page referenced
absolute `C:\...\card.assets` paths and assets were written to a doubled
location. The CLI now passes the file name, and the adapter accepts
either separator.
* fix: use official Homebrew cask installation guidance
* docs: guide localized pages through the old Homebrew tap
The translated getting-started pages documented the official cask but not
the migration from the archived tap, so readers of those pages had no
uninstall step for the old formula.
Document current public contracts and implemented workflows, correct invalid editor and slot examples, and distinguish supported font, recovery, and library behavior from remaining gaps.
