* fix: stop ancestor walks from hanging on a parent cycle
A collaborator's concurrent reparent can leave two layers as each other's
parent. isDescendant, the design check's pageOf, and component sync walked
parentId without a bound, so applying such a change froze the editor.
Add SceneGraph.closest(), a bounded nearest-ancestor lookup, and use it for
these walks so bad data ends the walk instead of the tab.
* fix(collab): sync layer moves without parent cycles or stale child lists
Remote changes assigned each layer's synced parentId and childIds as plain
properties. Two peers moving layers into each other made them each other's
parent, a moved layer stayed listed under its old parent, reorders never
synced, and concurrent additions ended up in different orders or missing
from the parent's list.
Apply the tree after a change's properties: move layers to their synced
parents, skip a move that would make a layer its own ancestor and write the
layer's current parent and position back so every peer settles on it, and
derive each touched parent's childIds from its synced order followed by
unlisted children by id. Locally, a parent's child list syncs once after
each edit that adds, removes, moves, or reorders its children.

* refactor(scene-graph)!: move sibling order keys to scene-graph
Collaboration needs the same fractional keys as .fig export to order
siblings, and the app must not depend on @open-pencil/fig for them. Move
fractionalPosition, orderKeyBetween, and siblingOrderKeys to
@open-pencil/scene-graph/order-keys.
orderKeyBetween now always returns a key: when no printable key fits it
returns one above lo, which hasOrderKeyBetween detects, so callers no
longer branch on null. It takes an optional suffix, and siblingOrderKeys
can request one per key, so two peers inserting at one spot get distinct
keys. .fig export keeps its keys.
* fix(scene-graph): report instance child reorders as graph events
Instance sync sorted an instance's children in place, so nothing that
listens to graph events saw the new order; in a shared room the order
never reached other peers. Move each child that changes position with
insertChildAt, which reports the reorder.
* feat(collab): resolve the layer tree from each layer's parent history
Add a pure LayerTree for the shared document: each layer records every
parent it was moved under with a move counter and an order key. A layer
sits under its newest parent, ties broken by parent id; when concurrent
moves close a loop, the latest move in the loop falls back to the
layer's next entry until none is left, and a layer no parent can take
goes to its page (Evan Wallace's mutable tree hierarchy CRDT).
The result depends only on the entries, and resolution revisits only
changed, orphaned, and displaced layers. Seeded random runs check that
peers converge and that the incremental result matches a full one.
* fix(collab): sync layer moves as parent history and order keys
Each layer's shared map now records every parent it was moved under with
a move counter from a document-wide Lamport clock, and its order key
among siblings, instead of parentId and childIds. Every peer derives
parentId and childIds from these with LayerTree, so concurrent moves,
reorders, and additions merge, a loop from concurrent moves undoes its
latest move, and a layer whose new parent was deleted meanwhile returns
to its previous one.
A local edit's graph events are written once after the edit, in one
transaction. It records a parent entry for each layer whose parent
changed, a new entry for displaced layers on the touched paths so a move cannot pull
them back, and keys between the moved layers' neighbours with a random
suffix, so concurrent inserts at one spot get distinct keys. Remote
changes find their layers through each event's path, resolve only what
they touch, and move and sort layers through insertChildAt.
This replaces the childIds merge and the write-back of rejected moves:
a rejected move now resolves the same way on every peer from the shared
history, so nothing needs to be written back.

* feat(collab)!: convert saved rooms and keep mismatched builds apart
A room saved by an earlier build records parentId and childIds. When a
change brings in such layers, from this browser's storage or a peer,
convert them in one transaction: each layer's synced parent becomes its
only entry with counter 0, its position in the parent's synced childIds
becomes an order key, and the old fields go. The result depends only on
the document, so two peers converting at once write the same values,
and converting again writes nothing. The document's meta map records
treeFormat 2.
Builds that record the tree differently would corrupt each other's
rooms, so the collaboration namespace becomes openpencil/2 for Trystero
and the test relay alike, and each peer publishes its treeFormat in
awareness for future version messages.
* fix(collab): send a layer whose parents were all deleted back to its own page
Each layer's shared map records the page it was last placed on, and the
layers under a frame moved to another page are re-recorded. A layer whose
parent chain was deleted goes back to that page, falling back to the first
page only when the recorded one is gone. Saved rooms record pages when
they are converted.
* fix(collab): keep one root per room when peers edit their own documents
Joining a room keeps the joiner's earlier document in its graph, and an
undo or an edit made before the room arrived could still reach it. That
edit shared the joiner's root, every peer adopted it, and the room's
pages disappeared.
The room now records its root as claims in meta, each with the time it
was made, and every peer follows the earliest. Sharing claims the room,
and so does the first edit in a room nobody has shared, which now shares
the whole document as Share does. A peer shares only layers under the
room's root. Converted rooms claim the root with the most children.
Move counters must also be safe integers, so an oversized counter from
another peer cannot stop the move clock from advancing.
* fix(collab): rank root claims by how they were made, not by clocks
Root claims carried the claiming peer's wall-clock time, so a guest whose
clock ran behind the sharer's could still win the room with an edit made
before the room reached them. A claim now records whether it came from
Share or a converted room, or from the first edit in an unshared room;
a shared root outranks an edited one, and the lower id breaks a tie.
A claim also replaces an invalid value already stored for its root.
* fix(collab): keep every root claim through concurrent writes
A root claim was one key per root holding its kind, so two peers claiming
the same root by Share and by an edit at once kept only one of the two
values, and the shared claim could be lost. Each kind of claim on a root
is now its own key. Converting a saved room also claims its root unless
a shared claim exists, so a guest's earlier edited claim no longer keeps
the converted room from outranking it.
* fix(collab): mint layer IDs under a session of each editor window
Every editor window started its IDs at 0:1 from the same counter, so two
people adding layers to a shared room at once could mint the same IDs,
and one person's layers replaced the other's in the room. A joiner's
starting page also took the sharer's page ID and stayed in their list.
SceneGraph's default IDs now carry a session set with setIdSession, as
in Figma's sessionID:localID GUIDs. The editor picks a random 32-bit
session at startup, as Yjs does for each document's clientID; headless
tools keep session 0, so the CLI and MCP server give a file's layers the
same IDs on every run.
* fix(collab): let only Share set a room's root
A guest's first edit in a room whose contents had not arrived claimed
the room and wrote the guest's whole open document into it, images
included, and adopting the sharer's root later only hid it. Every room
starts with someone sharing a document, so a guest has nothing to claim:
only Share, or converting a saved room, now sets the room's root, as a
single value in meta, and a peer writes nothing until the root is known.
Unbinding a room also writes an edit still waiting to be sent, so a move
or deletion made just before leaving reaches the room.
* feat(collab)!: open each room in a tab of its own
Joining a room bound it to whatever tab was active, so a pasted link
could turn a saved file into the room's document, and a share link first
showed an editable blank document. A room is now a document: joining
always opens it in a new tab, or switches to the tab already showing it,
and only Share puts an existing tab's document into a room.
Every room tab owns its session (src/app/collab/rooms.ts and
session.ts), so several rooms can be live at once and keep syncing in
the background. The collaboration panel, presence, following, and the
/share/<id> address follow the active tab, and a canvas publishes its
cursor and selection only to its own tab's room.
A room tab derives its state: joining while its saved copy loads, then
waiting, with an explanation, while nobody who has the file is online;
live with others, or alone on this device's copy. Until the document
arrives the room's screen replaces the editor. Reloading a share link
rejoins it; leaving a room you joined keeps its file as a local unsaved
copy. "Connected" now means another peer answered. Pasted links and IDs
are normalised and validated, and invalid ones say so.
People join right away under a generated name such as "Teal Fox", with
a hint to set one; the one app-wide name is set in the share panel or
in Settings. On a phone, Share copies the room's link instead of making
a new room, and the presence popover shows the room's state.
* feat(desktop): open rooms from openpencil://join links and Home
The desktop app could not receive a share link: links point at the web
app, and openpencil:// only opened files. openpencil://join?room=<id>
now opens the room in a tab of its own. The native parser refuses
anything but a room ID, queues rooms for the frontend through
take_pending_rooms, and a second launch on Windows and Linux forwards
its link through the single-instance handler.
In a browser on a computer, the room's screen and the share panel offer
Open in desktop app, a link the browser hands to the app on click; it
never opens the app by itself. Home gains Join room…, which takes a
pasted room link or ID and opens the room in a new tab.
* feat(collab): set your name on the room screen
The room screen told someone joining under a generated name to set
their name but offered nowhere to do it before the file arrived. It now
has the same name field as the room panel.
* feat(collab): offer the desktop download beside Open in desktop app
A browser on a computer offers a room's openpencil://join link, which
does nothing where the app is not installed. The room screen and panel
now link to the latest release beside it.
* docs: describe joining rooms in the German, Polish, and Russian guides
Bring the translated collaboration pages up to the English one: Share as
the only way into a room, joining in a tab of its own, the waiting
screen, leaving with a local copy, and how layer moves merge. The
English page now names the panel's Leave room button.
* fix(collab): lay out the room screens like the app's empty states
The joining and waiting screens were a left-aligned card with a stray
spinner, a primary Copy link button beside an outline button and a
bare link, and a name field on a screen that lasts seconds. They now use
AppPlaceholder, centred over the tab: a heading, the explanation, the
two hints, secondary Copy link and Leave, a 'You'll appear as' line
whose Change opens a small rename popover, and the desktop handoff on
one muted line. The room panel lines its status dot up with wrapped
text, no longer selects the room link when it opens, and puts the
desktop links and Leave room on one footer line.
* fix(collab): show what a room tab is doing instead of a timed guess
A joined tab said nobody with the file was online five seconds after it
opened, whether or not it had reached the signaling service or met the
people already in the room. Its state now follows what the tab can
observe: connecting until the service answers, looking for people for as
long as that transport takes to introduce everyone, getting the file
from someone who says they have it, waiting when nobody who has it
showed up (naming other guests waiting too), and a can't-connect screen
when the service cannot be reached. Each peer says in its presence
whether it has the room's file.
* fix(collab): list other waiting guests with the explanation
The line naming other guests who are waiting too is information, not an
action, so it follows the hints above the buttons. Peers' hasFile flag
is optional, as older builds do not send it.
* fix(collab): send a canvas's cursor and selection to its tab's room again
Canvases read the editor through a proxy that follows the active tab,
and the room lookup by store never matched it, so pointer moves and
selections stopped reaching the room: collaborators lost each other's
cursors, selections, and page markers. The canvas now looks up its
room by its tab's own store, and its selection listener ends when the
canvas unmounts instead of piling up across tab switches.
* feat(collab): one avatar stack for the toolbar, the mobile pill, and pages
The toolbar, the page list, and the mobile HUD each drew the people in a
room their own way, and the mobile pill read 'Online: 3' in hard-coded
English beside a status dot too small to render. AvatarStack now draws
people overlapping with their agent counts and '+N', and every place
uses it: the toolbar wraps each avatar in its menu or hover card, the
mobile pill shows the room's state dot and the stack with a translated
name, and hovering a page with people on it opens a card with the stack
and who is there, with their agents, to follow. The mobile list is the
shared presence list, so it is translated and can follow agents too.
* docs: note the page hover card and mobile avatars in the changelog
* fix(collab): stop listening to a room once its tab leaves it
A session left its Yjs observers and its awareness listener attached
after dispose, relying on destroy() and the order of teardown not to
touch the tab again. It now removes them explicitly and clears its peer
list. Also fix a missing comma in the Polish collaboration guide.
* fix(vue): keep the command palette open when a command opens a step
CommandPaletteRoot emitted select for every item, including one that only opens its children, so a host that closes on select closed the palette instead of showing the step. useCommandPalette.select now reports whether a command ran, and the root emits only then.
Disabled items were marked only with Reka's data-disabled; expose aria-disabled so assistive technology announces them.
* feat(app): jump between pages from the command palette
The palette had no way to reach a page. It now lists the pages visited recently in the tab, offers a Go to page step with every page, and finds any page by name.
Recent pages are tracked per editor session from page changes and reset when the document is replaced. Palette items can be search-only, so pages beyond the recent ones appear only when the query matches them. The divider-page rule moves out of PageListRoot so the palette skips dividers the same way, and useCommandPalette is exported from the package root.
* feat(canvas): draw agents' cursors as outlined sparkles
Editor state's remoteCursors becomes presenceCursors with a kind, since the list now includes local agents. People keep the filled arrow; an agent is a sparkle outlined in its owner's color, with an outlined name pill, so whose agent it is reads from the outline. Cursor drawing moves out of the pen overlay into canvas/overlays/presence.ts.
* feat(app): publish AI agent presence to collaborators
The built-in chat now appears as an agent with a callsign while it replies, at the nodes its tools touch on the run's page, and goes idle (off the canvas) when the reply ends. Agents live in a per-document presence registry and are published in their owner's awareness state, so collaborators see each other's agents in the owner's color; the payload is metadata only.
Peer awareness was cast without checks. It is now validated with Valibot, invalid fields are dropped rather than the peer, and names, selections, and agent counts are bounded.
* feat(app): follow agents and list them in the share panel
Following lived in collab and only knew people. It moves into the presence registry with a person-or-agent target, so you can follow anyone's agent, including your own outside a room: the view goes to the agent's page and keeps its cursor centered, stays attached while it idles between replies, and lets go when it leaves. A new editor action, centerOn, replaces reading the canvas size from the DOM. Peer cursors keep their zoom so following a person still matches it.
The share panel lists everyone in the room with their agents, each with its status, page, and a follow toggle, and your own agents can be renamed inline. CollabPanel moves to collab-panel, and the two-browser relay helpers move out of the collab spec into tests/helpers/collab.
* feat(app): show who works on each page
Agents now publish the page they work on, set when a reply starts on its pinned page and moved by switch_page, so a page is marked before the agent's first edit. presenceByPage groups people and working agents by page.
The Pages panel marks those pages with people's dots and agents' outlined sparkles in their owner colors, the command palette names who is on each page, and the chat says which page a reply is working on, with Go to page, while you view another one.
* docs(collaboration): list the agent model among shared presence
* test(app): stories for page presence markers and the chat's run location
The run location notice reads app state, so it moves into
useChatRunLocation and the component takes the agent and page as props.
* test(vue): a canvas story for presence cursors
Storybook now serves CanvasKit, so a story can render the real canvas:
people's arrows and agents' outlined sparkles, with controls for names,
colors, and zoom.
* feat(canvas): mark agents with a sparkle label instead of a sparkle cursor
A sparkle on its own did not read as a pointer. Agents now point with
the same filled arrow as people, in their owner's color, and their
outlined label starts with a sparkle.
* refactor(app): split the collaboration theme by component
One 18-slot theme served five components that each used a few slots,
with variants that applied to one slot. Avatars, the share button, the
presence list, page markers, and the mobile presence popover now have
their own themes, exported as tv() like the rest of src/theme.
* fix(app): truncate an agent's status before its name in the presence list
In a narrow share panel the status kept its width and the callsign
shrank to its first letter.
* feat(app): right-align page badges in a trailing area of the page row
Presence markers followed the page name. The row now has a trailing area,
right-aligned with its own spacing, where markers and later page badges
go.
* fix(app): key page markers by person or agent, not by name
Two people with the same name on a page, such as two Anonymous peers,
gave page markers duplicate keys. Entries now carry a stable id.
* feat(canvas): draw agents' cursors as outlined sparkles
Editor state's remoteCursors becomes presenceCursors with a kind, since the list now includes local agents. People keep the filled arrow; an agent is a sparkle outlined in its owner's color, with an outlined name pill, so whose agent it is reads from the outline. Cursor drawing moves out of the pen overlay into canvas/overlays/presence.ts.
* feat(app): publish AI agent presence to collaborators
The built-in chat now appears as an agent with a callsign while it replies, at the nodes its tools touch on the run's page, and goes idle (off the canvas) when the reply ends. Agents live in a per-document presence registry and are published in their owner's awareness state, so collaborators see each other's agents in the owner's color; the payload is metadata only.
Peer awareness was cast without checks. It is now validated with Valibot, invalid fields are dropped rather than the peer, and names, selections, and agent counts are bounded.

* fix(app): truncate an agent's status before its name in the presence list
In a narrow share panel the status kept its width and the callsign
shrank to its first letter.
* feat(app): show presence and following on the toolbar avatars
The share popover held who was online, the Share button turned into a
Connected status, and following gave no feedback. Collaborators' avatars
now count their agents and list them on hover, your avatar holds your
agents and Leave room, and +N collects the rest. A frame and bar in the
followed color show whom you follow; your own input or Escape stops it.
The share popover keeps the room link, and Share keeps its label.
* fix(app): address review of following from the avatars
Escape stops following from the follow frame, once and not while typing
or after another control handled it. The frame shows the agent sparkle
as an icon. A test pins that following survives the target changing
pages mid-switch, and the test relay tolerates frames that are not JSON.
* fix(app): follow until you leave, wait for silent peers, reach agents by keyboard
Following records the page it put you on, so any other page change ends
it, even of a resting agent that would otherwise pull you back later. A
present peer without a cursor yet is waited for instead of dropped. The
room list button is always there, so keyboard users reach agents that
hover cards only show to the mouse. centerOn ignores points too far away
to represent, and the docs describe following from the avatars.
* fix(app): stop following on any zoom of yours, and keep follow switches from restarting
Keyboard and menu zoom changed the view without the pointer or wheel
input the frame listens for, so following kept going and later undid the
zoom; any viewport change following did not make now ends it. Cursor
updates no longer restart a switch already heading to the same page,
which could keep a slow page from committing. The room's connected
store is reactive, and agent rename starts on a single click.
* fix(app): never loop on a followed cursor's unknown page, and stop on zoom mid-switch
A peer's cursor could name a page this document lacks; following then
retried a switch that never moved, forever. Following now waits on such
cursors and only re-syncs after a switch that landed. A page switch
restores its viewport without viewport:changed, so your zoom during a
follow switch now stops following too.
* fix(app): cancel a loading follow switch when following stops
Stopping following, by Escape, your own input, or zoom, left a follow
page switch loading, which then took you to their page anyway. Stopping
now overtakes it with a switch to the page you are on.
* feat(canvas): draw agents' cursors as outlined sparkles
Editor state's remoteCursors becomes presenceCursors with a kind, since the list now includes local agents. People keep the filled arrow; an agent is a sparkle outlined in its owner's color, with an outlined name pill, so whose agent it is reads from the outline. Cursor drawing moves out of the pen overlay into canvas/overlays/presence.ts.
