Refactor architecture boundaries across core, app, and packages (#234)
* refactor(core): decompose editor factory and action modules

Split the monolithic editor factory and large action modules into focused
domain helpers:

- create.ts assembles context through bridge modules (clipboard,
  components, structure, undo) and delegates to graph-reads, graph-events,
  layout-runner, component-sync, and state factory
- structure.ts delegates to group, container-wrap, auto-layout-wrap,
  reorder, and state-toggle helpers
- selection.ts delegates to hit-test, overlays, container navigation,
  and read helpers
- clipboard.ts delegates to subtree-history, images, export, copy,
  fonts, and placement helpers
- shapes.ts delegates to pen actions and section-adopt
- components.ts delegates to focus and instances helpers
- alignment.ts delegates to flip-rotate helper
- text.ts uses explicit TextEditSession for snapshot comparison

New focused modules: nudge, variable-bindings, layout-mode,
page-viewports, tool-registry, color-space

Undo: history/position and history/snapshot helpers, hardened
batch/rollback with nested batch support and configurable limit

* refactor(core): split tool definitions by domain

Split the monolithic tool registry into domain-specific modules:

- read/ — selection, find, pages, fonts, components, nodes, query, jsx
- create/ — basic shapes, components, vector, JSX render
- modify/ — paint, effects, geometry, layout, state, text, update
- structure/ — basic, arrange, batch, hierarchy, replace, tree
- variables/ — bindings, collections, read, values
- vector/ — boolean, path, export, viewport
- analyze/ — colors, typography, spacing, clusters, diff, eval
- describe/ — summaries, tree, roles, layout-issues
- stock-photo/ — providers, requests, apply
- codegen/ — component-map, tokens

Split registry into core/extended tiers; refine schema and AI adapter

* refactor(core): restructure kiwi codec and instance overrides

Reorganize the Kiwi .fig codec into domain subdirectories:

- binary/ — codec, schema, protocol
- fig/ — file, import, parse (core, worker, transfer)
- node-change/ — convert, export-node, serialize, plugin-data
- instance-overrides/ — constraints, dsd, populate, props, resolve,
  symbol-overrides, symbol-props, sync, types

Vendored kiwi-schema/ left isolated

* refactor(core): split profiler, icons, IO, and add subpath exports

Profiler: speedscope-export, capture-session, hud-controller
Icons: api, svg, types, render, create-icons tool
IO: format registry and subpath exports
Canvas/color/text/vector: targeted cleanup

Add deliberate subpath exports: random, xpath, vector, color, canvas,
scene-graph, kiwi, design-jsx, io, tools, editor, layout, canvaskit,
profiler, text, lint, rpc, figma-api, constants

* refactor(vue): decompose canvas input, surface lifecycle, and controls

Canvas surface: gl-surface, kit-loader, render-loop, resize-observer

Canvas input handlers:
- move: drop-target, move-snap, duplicate-drag
- select: select-move, select-hover, select-hit
- resize: resize-rect, resize-vector, resize-start
- transform: rotation, marquee, pan, text-selection
- text-edit: navigation, clipboard, textarea lifecycle
- Shared: click-count, space-key, pan, pan-zoom, draw, raf-scheduler

Editor composition:
- commands split: actions, context, metadata, edit, selection, view
- menu-model split: command-groups, builders, types
- Gradient stop composable reuse in primitive root

Controls: fill, layout, typography, appearance, effects, stroke,
okhcl, prop-scrub, node-props, undo-batch, color-variable-binding
Variables/i18n/document/export helpers

Organize canvas, primitives, controls, editor, and variables into
cohesive module directories with package-local import aliases

Expose MenuActionNode/MenuSeparatorNode from public API

* refactor(app): split document IO, editor session, and automation bridge

Document IO: source-state, naming, writer, reload-source, reload-state,
imported-document, watch-targets, save-targets

Editor session: create, modules, types, accessors, computed, refs
Editor canvas: loader-overlay, collaboration-awareness,
context-selection, menu-actions, menu-model

Automation bridge: eval, tools, exports, files, selection, RPC fallback

AI/ACP: transport, map-update, permission, debug, chat effects/storage
Collab: awareness, graph-bindings, yjs-sync, follow, session, types
Shell keyboard: actions, bindings, clipboard, focus, nudging,
raw-events, registry, reserved, shortcuts, space-tool
Shell menu: app-menu, document-name, entry, files

Demo: colors, effects, helpers, section builders (components,
app-preview, effects, standalone, variables) — document.ts reduced
from 981 to 32 lines as pure orchestrator

Move app modules under src/app/ with organized domain structure:
editor, document, ai, collab, shell, automation, demo, tabs

* refactor(app): decompose UI components with provide/inject context

Split monolithic components using Reka UI-inspired namespace folders
with scoped provide/inject context — no prop drilling:

- CollabPanel/ — context, avatars, share, connected, join
- ColorPickerPanel/ — context, area, format, field groups, sliders
- MobileHud/ — context, action toast, tool badge, file menu, presence
- ProviderSettings/ — context, API key/type, endpoint, tokens, photos
- Toolbar/ — actions, types, desktop, mobile, tool button, flyout
- LayoutSection/ — types, auto-layout, flex, grid, padding, size, clip

Properties helpers: fill-okhcl adapter, fill-label, color-style-row
Menu: entry helpers, document-name rename, stale type removal

* refactor(mcp): split server into focused modules

- browser-rpc — WebSocket client management
- mcp-sessions — session lifecycle
- tool-output — response formatting
- tool-schema — Zod schema generation from ToolDefs
- jsx-preprocess — JSX source transformation
- result — result helpers
- tool-registration — MCP tool wiring
- auth — API key validation
- http-options — CORS/request handling
- stdio-bridge — stdio transport adapter

* refactor(cli): split analyze subcommands and shared helpers

- Analyze subcommands: clusters, colors, spacing, typography
- RPC data loading helper
- Migrate imports to targeted core subpath exports

* refactor(docs): split VitePress config and shared table component

Config helpers: sdk-sidebar, seo, labels, sidebars, locale-theme,
root-theme, locales

Shared SdkDataTable component replaces duplicated table markup in
SdkPropsTable, SdkEventsTable, and SdkSlotsTable

Update contributing and testing docs

* refactor(tauri): decompose desktop entrypoint

Split lib.rs into focused service modules:

- fig_container.rs — .fig archive/compression commands
- fonts.rs — font cache and system font enumeration
- menu.rs — native menu construction
- menu_events.rs — menu event dispatch and devtools toggle
- window.rs — main window show/focus lifecycle

* test: share domain test factories and migrate fixtures

New shared helpers:
- tests/helpers/scene.ts — makeSceneGraph factory
- tests/helpers/vector-network.ts — vertex/segment/network builders
- tests/helpers/fig-traversal.ts — all-node collection, type counts
- tests/helpers/undo.ts — undo test utilities
- tests/helpers/editor-history.ts — editor history test helpers

Migrate render, vector, fig-roundtrip, and undo tests to use shared
factories instead of inline fixture construction

* build: add structural lint rules, split vite config, update docs

Structural lint (oxlint.structure.json + lint/plugin.js):
- 20+ custom rules enforcing package boundaries, lifecycle patterns,
  naming conventions, and import discipline

Vite config split: raw-markdown, canvaskit-assets, pwa, server,
aliases, automation plugins

Remove legacy shims and utils superseded by SDK/core modules
Update AGENTS.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, eval-command docs, tsconfig

* fix(vue): normalize canvas directory casing and remove duplicate export

- Rename Canvas/ to canvas/ in git index to match #vue/canvas/* imports
  (PascalCase was correct for component primitives but canvas/ is a
  non-component domain directory)
- Remove duplicate ./random subpath export in core package.json

* fix: add #vue and #core Vite resolve aliases for dev server

* refactor(core): reduce remaining large modules

Split the remaining large core hotspots into cohesive domain modules while preserving public facades and behavior.

- Extract scene graph types, variables, node defaults, and vector-network helpers
- Decompose canvas renderer orchestration, state, paints, colors, lifecycle, labels, and delegated domain methods into renderer/ and labels/ subfolders
- Split Kiwi node-change, binary variable binding, layout, RPC, vector, JSX export, clipboard, design JSX, and Figma proxy helpers
- Replace collision-driven *Fn import aliases with namespace imports and enforce the pattern in lint

Validation:
- bun run check
- bun --filter @open-pencil/vue build
- bun run test:dupes

* fix(app): forward color input attrs

* fix(app): cover section drawing errors

* fix(editor): undo option-drag duplicates

Changelog

Unreleased

Changed

  • Refactor the editor architecture across core, app, Vue SDK, CLI, MCP, docs, and desktop into smaller domain modules with structural lint rules to keep package boundaries explicit.
  • Add targeted core subpath exports and package-local import aliases for cleaner app, Vue SDK, CLI, and MCP imports.
  • Split the canvas into separate scene and overlay render layers so rulers, labels, selections, and input overlays are isolated from scene rendering.
  • Use @use-gesture/vanilla for wheel gesture lifecycle handling and faster trackpad zoom behavior.

Fixes

  • Fix @open-pencil/vue failing to import from npm — getAbsolutePositionFull was imported from @open-pencil/core/canvas/coordinate, an unexported subpath. Re-exported the function from @open-pencil/core/canvas and updated the vue import.
  • Fix large .fig files freezing during open — parsing and scene graph import now run in the worker, and opened files fit to the canvas viewport after loading.
  • Improve Figma import fidelity for Preline UI files — preserve variable aliases, derived instance layout, nested instance scaling, avatar swaps, badge internals, and input text alignment.
  • Improve Figma render fidelity for exports — preserve flipped vector bounds, render Figma stroke geometry for shapes/vectors, fix clipped visual overflow, and render drop shadows for stroked shapes from the stroke outline.
  • Fix text editing inside selected components and instances on double-click.
  • Prevent browser/Safari from intercepting app-level Cmd/Ctrl shortcuts such as undo/redo.
  • Fix undo/redo shortcuts firing twice during modifier-key release by handling command shortcuts with event-based dispatch.
  • Fix option-drag duplicate undo/redo so undo removes duplicated subtrees and redo restores them instead of moving the copy back.
  • Fix section drawing errors and color input attribute forwarding in the property panel.
  • Fix demo component instances by laying out source components before creating instances, and restore explicit badge dot/text spacing.
  • Keep the global startup loader visible until CanvasKit fonts load and the first font-backed render completes, avoiding a flash of missing text in opened files and the demo.

Performance

  • Cache instance override resolution and lazily populate opened .fig pages to reduce load time for large community files.
  • Reduce zoom and overlay rendering work by separating scene rendering from rulers, selection, labels, and input overlays.

0.11.8 — 2026-04-23

Fixes

  • Fix MCP server not spawning on Windows — use cmd /c to resolve .cmd wrappers from npm global installs
  • Fix MCP server and automation WebSocket not connecting on Windows/Linux — inline __TAURI_INTERNALS__ check at call time instead of using stale module-level IS_TAURI constant
  • Fix shell PATH not inherited by GUI app on macOS/Linux — add fix-path-env-rs to read shell config

  • JSX prop reference doc — copy to clipboard via book icon in Code panel
  • Prompts (CODEGEN_PROMPT, JSX_REFERENCE) moved from embedded strings to markdown files

Fixes

  • Fix Backspace not deleting selected nodes after clicking on canvas — canvas now receives focus on click so keyboard shortcuts aren't blocked by stale input focus

  • Fix headless layout: use stored .fig dimensions instead of rough text size estimates (26K → 11K mismatches on material3.fig)
  • Fix --help output with huge vertical gaps between commands — remove inline examples from query description
  • Fix openpencil-mcp npm package missing dist/stdio.js — explicitly list entry points in tsconfig
  • Show toast when MCP server fails to start instead of silently swallowing the error
  • Fix provider settings popover not appearing — tooltip wrapper broke floating-ui positioning

  • Fix MCP "app not connected" error — message now instructs the agent to stop and inform the user
  • Fix external links in AI panel blocked by Tauri ACL — use opener plugin instead of shell

0.11.6 — 2026-04-08

  • Unify the size control into a single inline sizing input/dropdown with shorter localized labels to prevent overflow

0.11.2 — 2026-03-30

Fixes

  • Stabilize npm publishing with isolated temp publish directories instead of mutating tracked package manifests in CI
  • Strip build-time scripts and dev dependencies from generated publish manifests so tarballs pack from verified artifacts only
  • Fix @open-pencil/mcp release packaging so the published npm tarball includes its built dist/ CLI and server entrypoints deterministically
  • Fix @open-pencil/core release build configuration so CI publish jobs include Node and Bun ambient types when compiling package artifacts

0.11.1 — 2026-03-30

0.11.0 — 2026-03-30

Features

  • Lock and visibility toggle buttons in layers panel (hover to reveal, always shown when active)
  • Figma-style selection scope — double-click to enter groups/frames/components, Escape to exit
  • Nested container navigation — each double-click goes one level deeper
  • Dashed border around entered container for visual feedback
  • Layer panel click syncs canvas scope automatically
  • Vue SDK internationalization primitives — useI18n(), locale detection, persisted locale selection, lazy-loaded locale JSON files, and exported locale metadata for custom editor shells
  • Vue SDK docs and public API audit — documented advanced exports (useOkHCL(), variables helpers, viewport and locale APIs), aligned docs with the actual provideEditor() injection model, and expanded release-ready SDK guidance
  • npm release pipeline now publishes @open-pencil/core, @open-pencil/cli, @open-pencil/mcp, and @open-pencil/vue together on version tags
  • App language picker in the menu bar — switch UI locale without reloading
  • Added a vector curve editor and improved drawing experience with the pen tool
  • Resume pen drawing from existing open path endpoints — click an endpoint to continue the curve
  • Close open paths by dragging one endpoint to the other
  • Align selected anchor points relative to each other in vector edit mode — the standard alignment buttons in the position panel now operate on selected vertices when 2 or more are selected
  • Unified core IO format registry — .fig is now modeled as the native document format alongside shared export adapters for PNG, JPG, WEBP, SVG, and JSX
  • Export selection or current page as .fig from the app export UI and app menu
  • New CLI commands: open-pencil convert for document conversion, open-pencil formats to inspect readable/writable/exportable formats, and open-pencil lint for design consistency, structure, and accessibility checks
  • CLI export now supports .fig output and routes PNG/JPG/WEBP/SVG/JSX/.fig through the shared IO layer
  • Open… now supports .pen Pencil documents through the shared document reader pipeline while keeping .fig as the native save format
  • DisplayP3 document color space pipeline — documents now default to DisplayP3, .fig import/export preserves document color profiles, the live canvas requests P3 surfaces with sRGB fallback, and raster/SVG export paths accept explicit color-space targets
  • Color picker overhaul — unified RGB / HSL / HSB / OkHCL field formats, slider-space-aware track/thumb previews, and better neutral-color editing behavior for fills, strokes, gradient stops, and component fills
  • OkHCL metadata now round-trips through .fig plugin data and integrates directly into the main fill/stroke color workflow with preview gamut diagnostics
  • Vue SDK now exposes reusable color-picker model helpers and solid fill/stroke commit helpers for custom editor shells
  • Update built-in Z.ai and MiniMax model lists — Z.ai now uses the Anthropic-compatible endpoint for GLM coding models, adds GLM-5.1, and MiniMax adds M2.7 / M2.7-highspeed
  • Arabic and RTL support across text rendering, editing, layout, export, and AI tooling — text nodes support Auto/LTR/RTL, auto-layout frames support Auto/LTR/RTL flow, and JSX/AI prompts/tools can now generate and edit both explicitly

Fixes

  • Fix shortcuts, now work on non-English keyboard layouts.
  • Fix imported .fig file open and page-switch regressions — loaded documents now keep graph/store state in sync, remap imported canvas/page children correctly, and recompute imported auto-layout descendants when switching pages
  • Fix first canvas render happening before fonts load — wait for fonts before the initial draw to avoid Safari and text measurement glitches
  • Preserve fig-kiwi version on .fig roundtrip — imports keep the original header version instead of rewriting everything to a hardcoded value; new files default to version 101
  • Normalize auto-layout text export for Figma — text children inside auto-layout frames now serialize with NONE auto-resize to match Figma behavior and avoid overflow on reimport
  • Fix keyboard editing regressions after the refactor — canvas shortcuts no longer fire while editing text, and Delete/Backspace no longer delete nodes during text entry
  • Fix MCP page switching persistence — switch_page now survives across tool calls in the same session
  • Improve CJK font fallback coverage — load multiple Google Fonts for broader Han/Japanese/Korean text support
  • Normalize more visible UI strings for localized app chrome — menus, panels, variables dialog, code panel, chat setup, and editor controls now respect the selected locale instead of falling back to English in common flows
  • Fix imported text rendering in browser and headless export — preserve stored bounds until fonts are ready, restore missing font-loaded guards, use natural width for WIDTH_AND_HEIGHT text, and clip text to node bounds
  • Fix browser/headless rendering mismatch for imported toolbar/instance content by correcting runtime imported layout recomputation instead of diverging browser rendering behavior
  • Fix set_layout tool not defaulting to HUG sizing when enabling auto-layout — frames now shrink/grow to fit children instead of keeping fixed dimensions
  • Normalize font family names on .fig export — strip optical size suffixes (e.g. "DM Sans 9pt" → "DM Sans") so Figma recognizes the font
  • TEXT nodes now default to a solid black fill — previously exported with no fill, making text invisible when opened in Figma
  • Fix save crash when COLOR variable is missing alpha channel
  • Fix console error spam on deployed web app from automation WebSocket reconnect loop
  • Fix headless CLI font fallback — bundled Inter font now ships with @open-pencil/core and loads without a web server
  • Locked nodes now block move, resize, rotate, and delete on canvas
  • Locked containers block double-click enter
  • Marquee selection skips locked and hidden nodes
  • COMPONENT/INSTANCE containers are now enterable via double-click
  • Replaced the alignment and reflection icons with the correct ones

0.10.0 — 2026-03-15

  • Offload .fig compression to a Web Worker during save (was blocking 450ms+)
  • Add instance index (componentId → Set<nodeId>) — getInstances() is O(1) instead of scanning all nodes
  • Defer graph event subscription until after layout computation during file open — eliminates redundant syncInstances calls
  • Cache label collection (sections/components) per scene mutation instead of walking the full tree every frame
  • Blocking font loading — fonts load before first render to ensure correct glyphs

Features

  • Permission confirmation dialog — ACP agents request user approval for file/shell operations, MCP design tools auto-approved
  • Unified MCP server — single HTTP + WebSocket proxy replaces Vite SSR bridge
  • Stock photo integration — stock_photo tool fetches images from Pexels or Unsplash and applies to design nodes. Provider adapter supports custom providers.
  • Skeleton-first AI workflow — 4-phase design process (plan → skeleton → content fill via replace_id → polish) for more reliable AI-generated layouts
  • Batched AI tools — calc accepts arrays of expressions, stock_photo fetches all images in parallel, batch_update applies multiple property changes in one call, describe accepts ids array for multi-node inspection
  • AI visual feedback — blue pulsing border on nodes being modified, green flash on completion
  • Auto-depth describe — adapts inspection depth to subtree size (small block → deeper, large page → shallower)
  • set_fill gradient support — linear gradients with color_end and gradient direction params
  • render tool replace_id — atomically swap skeleton placeholders with real content
  • MCP export_image_file tool for headless PNG rendering
  • Grid layout in AI chat — JSX renderer supports grid, columns, rows, gap props
  • Configurable max output tokens in AI provider settings (default 16384)

  • Fix ProviderSettings popover not visible in AI chat
  • Fix paste/copy/cut intercepted by canvas in AI chat input
  • Strip TypeScript casts from AI-generated JSX (as any, as const)
  • Fix parsing complex .fig files crashing on missing GUIDs in component overrides
  • Fix headless text layout using 100×100 default size instead of estimated dimensions — multi-line wrapping now estimated correctly

  • Fix collab sync for same-parent reorder — node:reordered events now propagated to Yjs peers
  • Fix orphaned instances on clipboard paste — detach to FRAME when component is missing
  • Fix text typography lost on Figma clipboard import — preserve fontFamily, fontWeight, fontSize, lineHeight
  • Fix copyFill missing gradientTransform and imageTransform — gradient fills now round-trip correctly

Performance

  • Event-driven rendering and component sync — SceneGraph emits typed events on mutations; requestRender() calls reduced from 94 to 22, component instance sync uses microtask batching with deduplication
  • Replace structuredClone with typed copy helpers for fills, strokes, effects, and style runs (~24× faster in hot paths)
  • Filter .fig unzip to only decompress canvas and image entries, skipping metadata cruft

Improvements

  • Padding on a frame auto-enables vertical auto-layout
  • AI tools run computeAllLayouts after execution — layout updates immediately
  • Enhanced AI system prompt with full JSX prop reference and verification workflow
  • Chat panel preserves messages when toggling UI visibility
  • SceneGraph event bus (nanoevents) — node:created, node:updated, node:deleted, node:reparented, node:reordered events replace monkey-patching in collab sync and manual render invalidation
  • Replace esbuild-wasm (14 MB) with sucrase (201 KB) for JSX transform — buildComponent() and renderJSX() now synchronous and browser-compatible
  • useMagicKeys keyboard shortcut system — replaces tinykeys with VueUse built-in, cross-platform Meta/Control handling, modifier exclusion for combo conflicts
  • Dev-only debug toolbar for copying chat logs
  • Auto-layout icons in layer tree — vertical (rows), horizontal (columns), and grid icons for auto-layout frames; components keep their purple diamond
  • Frame titles on canvas are now draggable — clicking a selected top-level frame's name label starts a drag
  • Compact layout controls — icon-based gap (↔/↕) and padding (T/R/B/L) inputs instead of text labels
  • Auto-detect horizontal vs vertical direction when wrapping in auto layout (Shift+A)
  • Fix alignment grid for vertical layouts — visual positions now match spatial axes
  • Fix grid switch from HUG-sized frames — frame expands to fit children
  • Remove unwanted white fill when wrapping in auto layout

  • Renderer profiler with in-canvas HUD overlay, GPU timing, and phase instrumentation

Improvements

  • Replace custom color picker with Reka UI Color components (ColorArea, ColorSlider, ColorField) — adds keyboard navigation and accessibility to the color area, hue, and alpha controls

Fixes

  • CJK text rendering — load a system CJK font (PingFang SC, Microsoft YaHei, Noto Sans CJK) as fallback; falls back to Noto Sans SC from Google Fonts when no system font is available (#48)
  • Font registration errors no longer cache invalid font data — loadFont only caches after successful CanvasKit registration
  • Fix render tool failing on Windows + Bun with "Cannot find module" error (#43)
  • Fix hover highlighting nodes from internal component pages — scope hit-test to current page
  • Fix hit-testing on transparent frames and groups — empty containers without fills or strokes are now click-through, clipping parents reject hits outside their bounds, matching Figma behavior
  • Fix instance overrides on .fig import and clipboard paste — resolve guidPaths by overrideKey, handle component swaps (overriddenSymbolID), propagate through nested clone chains. Import and paste now share a single override engine.
  • Apply Figma component property assignments on import — boolean visibility toggles and instance swaps via componentPropRefs/componentPropAssignments
  • Apply derivedSymbolData sizes on import — containers now shrink correctly when component properties hide children
  • Fix override resolution for nested instance targets — check the current node before searching descendants
  • Fix component property assignments for nested instances — resolve scoped componentPropAssignments inside symbolOverrides via guidPath, handle guidValue for instance swaps, reorder phases so transitive sync doesn't clobber visibility

  • Stroke outlines on clipboard paste — convert vectorNetwork paths to filled outlines via CanvasKit when geometry blobs are unavailable
  • Apply derivedSymbolData transforms and geometry during import — instance children render at correct scale and position
  • Fix internal pages becoming visible after .fig round-trip — preserve internalOnly flag on export
  • Scope layout recomputation to current page for paste/undo/font-load (major speedup on large multi-page files)
  • Show loading overlay until all document fonts are loaded (no more partially rendered text)
  • Load fonts when switching pages (previously only loaded for the first page)
  • Always show visibility toggle on fill, stroke, and effect rows (matches Figma)
  • Fix renderer crash on double destroy when closing files quickly
  • Fix .fig page ordering — use deterministic byte comparison for fractional index positions
  • Fix text truncation using textTruncation field instead of textAutoResize
  • Fix horizontal scrollbar on design and pages panels
  • Style scrollbars for Tauri (thin dark overlay instead of default OS chrome)
  • Enable file watcher in Tauri — watch feature was missing from tauri-plugin-fs

  • Fix pasted instances having no children — populate from component via symbolData when both are in clipboard
  • Detect component sets on import — promote FRAME nodes with VARIANT componentPropDefs to COMPONENT_SET
  • Skip internal canvas on paste — components on Figma's hidden internal page populate instances but are not pasted as visible nodes
  • Apply instance overrides on paste — text content, fills, visibility, layoutGrow, and textAutoResize from symbolOverrides
  • Fix auto-layout child ordering — sort by geometric position instead of z-order position strings
  • Load fonts on paste and .fig import — collect font families from text nodes and load into CanvasKit
  • Text measurement in auto-layout — use CanvasKit paragraph metrics for WIDTH_AND_HEIGHT text nodes
  • Recompute layouts after font loading completes
  • Fix PERCENT line height conversion — was stored as raw value instead of pixels
  • Fix InvalidCharacterError when copying nodes with non-ASCII text
  • Load all font weight/style variants needed by pasted text nodes
  • Fix font loading not registering in core cache
  • Fix halfLeading applied to text measurement — enable only for rendering
  • Clear hover on zoom/pinch to keep scene picture cache valid
  • Fix flip buttons using rotation math instead of actual mirroring
  • Fix flip transform encoding — scale first matrix column only (was incorrectly producing 180° rotation)
  • Decode flip state from .fig transform matrix on import

  • Error toasts are now sticky (don't auto-dismiss), with selectable text, copy button, and close button
  • Truncate long node names in export button

Performance

  • Per-node SkPicture cache for effect rendering — unchanged shadow/blur nodes replay from cache on scene redraws
