* 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(code): link code to canvas layers and underline design issues
Code in the Code tab and layers on the canvas were unrelated: finding the
element behind a layer, or the layer behind an element, meant reading names.
Generated Design JSX and Tailwind JSX report the layer behind each element
in the order elements open, and edited Design JSX keeps the source line of
every element through the sandbox and renderer, so hovering an element
highlights its layer, Cmd/Ctrl-click brings it into view without changing
the selection the code shows, and errors and warnings from the design check
are underlined on the property that causes them.
* feat(code): explain the Code tab when nothing is selected
With no selection the editor showed a starter frame that read like a real
layer. The tab now says it shows the selected layers' code and offers Write
JSX, which opens the editor focused on the starter template.
* refactor(code): group code-to-layer linking into its own domain
Layer link types, issue mapping, and the hover and reveal behavior move
from the Code panel and a component file into src/app/code/layers, with
useCodeLayers as the panel's entry point, so app code no longer imports
types from components.
* fix(code): underline off-scale gaps after the spacing rule renamed its property
* feat(code): mark the layer of the element around the cursor
Hover highlighting and ⌘-click reveal replaced by one model: the element
around the cursor marks its opening and closing tag names and outlines its
layer on the canvas while the editor has focus. ⌘-click also collided
with CodeMirror's add-a-cursor gesture. Read-only Tailwind JSX now takes a
cursor so it links the same way.
Leaving the editor now ends a live Design JSX edit as one undo step.
Before, canvas edits made after typing never reached the code until the
tab was reopened, and their undo entries landed before the edit's.
* feat(code): sync the Code tab and the canvas both ways by patching
Canvas edits now patch the Design JSX a person wrote instead of waiting
for them to leave the editor: each linked element remembers the layer as
Design JSX last wrote it, and a canvas change rewrites only the attributes,
text and child elements that differ from that base, as CodeMirror changes
that keep the cursor, comments, formatting and history. Attributes written
as expressions are never overwritten; the code marks them when the canvas
now differs. Untouched code is regenerated with a minimal text change.
Code edits update layers in place: the new render is reconciled into the
existing layers (reconcileRenderedLayers), which keep their ids, so links,
selection and canvas edits survive typing. Each edit is one coalesced undo
step, replacing the restore-and-rerender preview and the commit on blur.
* feat(code): patch reordered layers and aliased properties in edited code
Reordering layers on the canvas now moves their elements in code a person
wrote: each child element and the blank lines and comments above it form a
block kept as written, and the children are written again in the new
order, staying linked. Children that cannot move safely, such as a loop
between them, keep their order and are marked.
Properties accepted under several names now come from one alias table in
the Design JSX schema, which the renderer resolves through and the patcher
and issue underlines use, so a canvas change to `w` patches `width` where
the person wrote that, instead of adding a second attribute.
* feat(code): keep the cursor in moved code and patch values written in style
A reorder rewrites the children span in one change, which collapsed a
cursor or out-of-sync marker inside a moved element to the span's edge.
The patch now carries where each block moved and places selections and
markers inside it at their new position.
Properties the renderer also reads from style={{ … }} come from a table in
the Design JSX schema instead of a hand-written list, keeping the rule
that an attribute under any of its names wins. The patcher uses it to
update a value written in style where it is, as a number or a px string
as written; values the renderer cannot read, such as '50%', are marked.
The layer patcher is split by concern: syntax helpers, attribute and
style patches, child patches, out-of-sync state and transaction assembly.
* feat(code): show the code's layer on the canvas as a tinted box
The layer of the element around the cursor used the canvas hover slot, so
moving the pointer over the canvas replaced it and the two read the same.
It now has its own shared editor state, codeFocusNodeId, drawn as the hover
outline over a light tint in every pane: hover stays an outline and the
selection keeps its handles, without borrowing the dashed outlines that
already mean component sets, drag parents and ghosts.
* fix(code): write added and removed layers when a reorder cannot move the code
When children could not be moved, such as two written on one line, the
patch marked the order and returned before adding or removing elements,
so a layer created in the same change never reached the code. It now
marks the order and still writes additions and removals.
* refactor(design-jsx): format the rebased layer description and stroke aliases
* feat(code): mount the layer-linked code editor through useCodeMirror
Master moved the code editor onto the shared useCodeMirror composable.
Its layer links, issue underlines, canvas patches, minimal text updates,
autofocus and read-only cursor now sit on that composable instead of a
hand-mounted view.
* 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
* 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.
- Replace the ambiguous Guide section with explicit overview, reference, and development routes while preserving legacy URLs with redirects
- Route missing localized content to maintained canonical pages and emit SEO alternates only for real translations
- Add parser-backed documentation integrity checks and make the optimized local build the default while retaining a complete production build
