PdfCraft's one-page summary: how close it is to Adobe Acrobat Pro's offline feature set, and what
comes next. Adobe's cloud services (Document Cloud, Acrobat Sign requests, shared review, the AI
Assistant) are out of scope; PdfCraft's alternatives are local-first plus opt-in providers.

**Keep it current:** every session, update the milestone row in [docs/roadmap.md](docs/roadmap.md)
and add a line to the [progress log](#progress-log); when a gap closes, remove it from
[docs/gaps.md](docs/gaps.md); re-measure fully when a major arc lands, at least monthly.

## Headline numbers

| | Value | Kind |
|---|---|---|
| **Feature breadth** | **≈ 67%** tier-weighted (56.9% unweighted: 423 shipped + 74 partial of 808; P0 94.2%) | measured, `parity/acrobat-features.toml` |
| Feature breadth, mainstream practitioner | ≈ 70% tier-weighted (63.2% unweighted; P0 95.3%) | measured ([split](docs/target-app-parity.md#mainstream-practitioner-vs-full-acrobat-pro)) |
| **Ready for real work**, full Acrobat Pro | **≈ 50%** (45–53%) | estimated, weighted sum over [dimensions](#by-dimension) |
| **Ready for real work**, mainstream practitioner | **≈ 55%** (50–60%) | estimated ([split](docs/target-app-parity.md#mainstream-practitioner-vs-full-acrobat-pro)) |
| **Ready for real work**, essentials user | **≈ 66%** (60–70%) | estimated ([method](docs/target-app-parity.md#essentials-user)) |
| Remaining to **beta** | ≈ 400–700 Opus 5.5 agent-hours | estimated |
| Remaining to **full parity** | ≈ 780–1,400 Opus 5.5 agent-hours (≈ 300–550 h wall clock with 3–5 agents) | estimated, calibrated on this repo's history |

**Why alpha:** all six of Acrobat Pro's everyday workflows can be completed end to end on macOS
(the [alpha gate](docs/roadmap.md#alpha-gate)), and users praise them (7.6k stars, ≈ 217k downloads
of 0.4–0.5, switching reports such as #179). Two are only partial: editing (no CJK/RTL) and convert
and share (no in-app Office→PDF; Word export loses layout, #773; password-protected files open in
Acrobat since #836, #774). Those, unmeasured quality against Acrobat, the borrowed `hayro` renderer,
and 245 open issues keep it far from beta.

### Readiness by audience

| Audience | Ready | Opus 5.5 agent-hours to ≈ 95% | Work that dominates |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full Acrobat Pro (ready for real work) | ≈ 50% | ≈ 780–1,400 h (≈ 300–550 h wall clock with 3–5 agents; 60–70% parallelizes) | Own renderer and fidelity harness, editing existing content, OCR and Office conversion, Preflight and PDF/A/X/UA, accessibility tagging, signatures for institutions |
| Mainstream practitioner | ≈ 55% | ≈ 500–900 h (≈ 200–400 h wall clock; ≈ 60% parallelizes) | Rendering fidelity, editing existing text (CJK, RTL, subsets), conversion (Word layout, Excel, PowerPoint, Office→PDF), OCR languages, the bug backlog |
| Essentials user | ≈ 66% | ≈ 180–330 h (≈ 90–180 h wall clock; ≈ 50% parallelizes) | Rendering fidelity on everyday files, launch and GPU stability, simple text fixes, Word export layout, Chinese UI glyphs |

Hours are calibrated as in [Effort and calibration](docs/target-app-parity.md#effort-and-calibration) (≈ 1k kept lines per agent-hour for new features, 3–10× slower for hardening and fidelity). The audiences are nested subsets, so essentials ≤ mainstream ≤ full.

## Progress log

- **2026-10-22 (M4, #3916 partial):** Document edits and Undo/Redo cancel an Organize page drag. Pointer-release regressions check exact page order and save/reopen.
- **2026-10-22 (M14, macOS association recovery candidate):** Successful desktop open/save/sign can queue recovery of an existing per-file binding to the running PDFCraft bundle through NSWorkspace. Metadata-only watcher changes retain undo and avoid false overwrite prompts; real same-length/same-mtime edits remain protected. Rebased on 0.12.0 and reuses #3042's shared atomic metadata preservation; the bounded recovery parser does not narrow save limits. Prior native Preview TEST-signature and Finder workflows passed on macOS 27.0.1; other versions remain unqualified. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-13 (M7, free image rotation):** A selected page image has a rotate knob (Shift: 15 degree steps) and `image_edit` a `rotate_by` action; the angle is written as one undoable `cm`. Snapping to page edges while moving is in #1740; resize snapping is not done. Estimates unchanged.

- **2026-10-20 (M4, initial view):** Window and interface options read indirect boolean ViewerPreferences values. Synthetic regressions cover true/false, direct/indirect preference dictionaries and save/reopen; malformed entries retain false defaults. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-20 (M3, #3535):** Escape with a menu open closes the menu and keeps the text selection; the next Escape clears it, as before. One keypress used to do both. A synthetic UI regression checks it. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-16 (M3, close prompt keyboard):** The "Save changes?" prompt opens with Save chosen (Enter saves, as before) and the arrow keys and Tab / Shift+Tab move the choice to Cancel or Don't save, shown with a focus ring; Enter or Space press the chosen button and Escape still cancels. Before, Enter always saved whatever was Tab-focused. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-21 (M3, #3808):** Page thumbnails in the Inspector can be resized independently from the document and Organize, with a slider, buttons and `thumbnail-zoom` control option. Selection, page following and reload are covered by regressions. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-22 (M2, #3107 / PR #3438):** Inline-image parsing falls back to the existing EI heuristic when missing declared samples, headers or terminators exceed the content-window budget, instead of waiting for an impossible allocation. Exact-length parsing for available samples and ordinary large streamed images is retained. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-21 (M14, Brazilian Portuguese):** Completed the `pt-br` catalog against the current 2,674-key union, including signature validation and accessibility messages; no build or compilation run. Localization remains partial because help and unpredictable engine/OS error details are not translated.
- **2026-10-21 (M14, #3557):** Preferences: the OK button stays below the scrolling settings instead of being the last thing in them, so it is in reach in a short window.

- **2026-10-19 (M11, #2178):** Optimize checks image and soft-mask dimensions and byte counts before decoding; hostile-dimension regressions pass. Estimates unchanged.

- **2026-10-20 (M11, #3507):** Image merging keeps trailing comments, split operands and graphics state across content streams. Synthetic tool tests check saved text, rendered regions and exact image rows.

- **2026-10-17 (M8, gap 6, #2662):** A filled cover over a long line counts when it hides half of any one word, not only 40% of the line's words or box, so a black box over one number in a long line — or an unapplied redaction mark over it — no longer audits clean while the number is still extractable; a sliver under half of every word it touches and under 40% of the line is still not flagged
- **2026-10-13 (M10, #1757):** Office export keeps each dotted-leader contents entry in one paragraph, with its page number, instead of inferring table cells from its separate text objects.
- **2026-10-22 (M6, calculation scripts):** The Calculate tab and a rename read simplified field notation only from a comment, where Acrobat writes it: a string that spells `BVCALC … EVCALC` is no longer taken for the notation, or rewritten by a rename. A `/` after the condition of `if`, `while`, `for` or `with` starts a regular expression, so a rename no longer rewrites a name inside one, and a quote inside one no longer hides the `getField` calls after it. Both found in review of #3550. A `//` comment ends at `\r`, U+2028 or U+2029 as well as `\n`, so in a script with `\r` line endings the code after one is no longer hidden from a rename, or taken for the notation. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-20 (M6, calculation order page):** Prepare a form ▸ Calculation order, a page of its own, lists the calculated fields in the order they calculate with their formulas and values, moved with Up/Down arrows (as Acrobat's Set Field Calculation Order), Alt+↑/↓ or by dragging. A card says what is wrong with the order and holds Fix order; a loop has a card of its own that opens one of its formulas. On the page, each calculated field shows its step, and arrows show what the field in focus reads and what reads it. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-20 (M6, calculation order):** The order a form's fields calculate in (`/CO`) is read, checked, fixed and set headlessly with `form_calculation_order`: it says which fields read one calculated later (they show stale values), which read each other in a loop, and which the PDF's order leaves out; Fix order moves only what must move, in one undo step, and the form recalculates. Editing a formula no longer moves its field to the end of the order, and a field the order lists twice calculates once. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-20 (M2, #3574):** Forms without Resources use page Properties for ActualText and layer visibility. Synthetic tests cover boundaries, nested/shared forms, and save/reopen. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-20 (M2, PR #3348 review):** Tracking samples retain short repeated punctuation (up to four glyphs), keeping tracked ellipses intact and searchable while longer TOC leaders still preserve title word spaces. Synthetic regressions cover isolated and surrounded ellipses. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-20 (M2, #3601):** A missing spacing glyph in an OpenType substitute uses its ordinary-space glyph. Synthetic Japanese CID renderer tests check blank spaces, `/W` and `/DW` placement, and unchanged Unicode extraction. Font selection and embedded fonts are unchanged. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-20 (M12, #3673):** Character encoding accepts Identity-H/V fonts with Adobe CJK collections and recognizes predefined non-Identity CMaps independently. Unknown CMaps and foreign registries remain refused; synthetic checker and read-only automation regressions passed after failing before the fix. Per-glyph mapping validation and embedded-font extraction remain separate. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-19 (M6, renames keep formulas):** Renaming a field renames it in every calculation that reads it, in the same undo step: `AFSimple_Calculate` field lists, simplified field notation (the comment and the JavaScript after it) and `getField` calls naming it in one string literal; the rest of each script is kept as written. A sum used to drop the renamed field, notation read it as 0 and a script kept a stale value. Field Properties says how many formulas changed and `form_set_props` lists them as `formulas_updated`. Names built at run time and other events' scripts are not rewritten. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-19 (M6, text field table):** Prepare a form ▸ Text field table drags out an area and adds rows and columns of named text fields as one undoable edit, laid out on the page as displayed, with a live preview, per-column name patterns and widths, and refusal before anything is added when a cell would be too small or a name taken; `form_add_field_table` does the same headlessly. `form.multiple-copies` is partial: copying an existing field into a grid is still missing. Estimates unchanged.

- **2026-10-16 (M7, #2516):** A paragraph number from `text_paragraphs` keeps naming the paragraph it listed after edits regroup the page: `text_edit`, `text_edit_layout` and `page_render`'s `hide_text_block` find it again by its text and box, and refuse one that was merged into a neighbour (the edited paragraph included) instead of rewriting the paragraph that took its number (`stale_paragraphs` lists the numbers gone). The inline editor's switch-paragraph click holds the same key. No stable identity across save and reopen yet (#2508).
- **2026-10-19 (M7, #3591):** A background added to a page that already has one is painted over the old one instead of going under it and staying hidden. Behind the content, backgrounds come first, in the order added, and then behind-content watermarks, so a watermark added after a background no longer disappears. Synthetic regressions in `crates/edit` check the order. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-19 (M2, radial luminosity masks):** Added synthetic radial-fade coverage for the existing masked-gradient fix (#2132): centre, midpoint, antialiased clip and per-pixel shading reference, including previews, scales and tiles. Removing the existing native-gradient mask guard reproduces an opaque midpoint; restoring it passes. No new renderer behavior or estimate change.
- **2026-10-20 (M6, #3502):** Form detection preserves comments across content streams and does not add fields over rectangles hidden by those comments. Synthetic tests cover visible controls, graphics state, and saved field inventories. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-20 (M6, #2273 / PR #2279):** Rebased the field-highlight default and Appearance preference onto main, retaining secured-form parity evidence and updating secured AcroForm/XFA toggle expectations. Build and test validation delegated to GitHub CI. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-20 (M5, reshape lines):** A line or arrow could only be moved after it was drawn; its length and angle stayed. A selected line, connected lines, polygon or cloud now has a handle on each end or corner: dragging one reshapes it (Shift holds it to 45°), as one undo step, with the new shape drawn while dragging. `pdfcraft_annot::set_points`, `Edit::ReshapeAnnotation`, `comment_edit points`; comment lists carry the points. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-20 (M3, #3620):** Overlapping comment hover uses the original annotation index independently of spatial inspection order. A synthetic UI regression covers different annotation upper edges. Estimates unchanged.

- **2026-10-20 (M3, #3541/#3620):** Comment hover follows the individual marked lines instead of the enclosing multiline rectangle, and overlapping comments follow paint order. Synthetic UI regressions cover all four text-markup kinds, page/view rotations, neighboring highlights, legacy rectangle fallback and unchanged PDF bytes. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-20 (M10, #3532 partial):** Vector printing retains existing widget artwork when its appearance lacks Subtype. A print-owned copy adds Form dispatch metadata. The source stream and all explicit subtypes stay unchanged. Synthetic source/output raster checks cover resources, selected/shared appearances, placement, flags and content modes. Appearance regeneration and physical printer validation remain outside this fix. Estimates unchanged.

- **2026-10-19 (M14, #3373):** The main menu and its long submenus scroll in short windows, keeping their commands reachable. Estimates unchanged.

- **2026-10-19 (M3, #3387):** Save-prompt shortcuts yield to later consent and utility dialogs; a synthetic UI regression checks that an edited document stays open. Estimates unchanged.

- **2026-10-18 (M3, PR #3101 review):** Gap changes in Organize Pages preserve document scroll position; menu and control changes apply to both comparison panes without changing unrelated tabs. Three synthetic UI regressions were observed failing before the fixes. Readiness estimates unchanged.

- **2026-10-18 (M3, PR #3101):** Optional gapless continuous page display with persisted defaults and UI control support; both new labels translated in all 22 catalogs. Rebased onto current main, preserving navigation and rendering fixes. Readiness estimates unchanged.

- **2026-10-18 (M10, #3120):** Export to Word, PowerPoint, HTML and RTF reads text from form XObjects nested as deep as the renderer draws them (50 levels), and up to 50 000 forms a page (the renderer's budget for nested ones); it stopped at 12 levels and 4 096 forms and left the rest out silently. A page past those limits is listed in `doc_export_office`'s `truncated_pages`, with a warning. Estimates unchanged.

- **2026-10-18 (M5, PR #1971 review):** Nested FDF annotation values that identify a source `/Page` or `/Pages` dictionary become null at every copy depth. A synthetic three-page PDF saved and reopened before export verifies that destination actions cannot pull source page content into the FDF, while unrelated nested metadata and shared references remain intact. FDF import semantics, copied-graph limits and estimates are unchanged.
- **2026-10-15 (M5, PR #1971 refresh):** Nested FDF annotation values retain shared or cyclic copied graphs. Discovery borrows direct values and records annotation positions with lazy array owners; retained entries are budgeted before cloning. Synthetic stress fixtures include repeated aliases and saved-PDF cache eviction. Limits cover the copied graph; source parsing and page discovery retain their existing limits, with no total source-memory bound. FDF import semantics and estimates are unchanged.
- **2026-10-13 (M5, nested FDF values):** Comment export copies and renumbers nested indirect values, retaining geometry, colours, borders and shared graphs. Graph/data limits return an error before the destination is written; synthetic saved-PDF and automation exchange regressions. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-18 (M2, #3086):** Text extraction estimates letter tracking without repeated punctuation gaps so dotted TOC leaders do not swallow word spaces. Synthetic PDF regressions cover leader lengths, phrase search and selection; strongly tracked text stays intact. Estimates unchanged.

- **2026-10-18 (M6, #2892):** Push-button normal labels are editable per widget through Options and form_set_props, independently of field names; rendering, undo/redo and incremental/full save/reopen are covered. Estimates unchanged.

- **2026-10-18 (M7, #3212):** Headers, Bates numbers, watermarks and added text stay visible after unfinished marked content, with original content preserved.
- **2026-10-18 (M7, #3187):** Added-image automation normalizes extreme signed rotation angles before combining them with the current orientation; integer bounds, history, pixels, save/reopen and MCP have regressions. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-18 (M12, #2569):** Growable multiline XFA text reflows after edits, with undo/redo, save/reopen and print coverage; oversized fields still become read-only page text. Structured-data synchronization warnings retain accepted whitespace without relayout from stale data. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-18 (M12, #2572):** Every repeated page-master button resolves its own field to the shared XFA click script, including print buttons. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-18 (M12, #2570):** Dynamic XFA rich-text fields carry exData/maxLength into AcroForm MaxLen for reported and enforced Unicode character limits, retained after save/reopen. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-19 (M4, #3309 review):** Page deletion keeps working with 60,000 named destinations, without a name-count traversal limit. Synthetic regressions verify every surviving target after deletion and restoration of the deleted page and its destinations by undo/redo, full/incremental save/reopen and unchanged rendering. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-18 (M4, #3309):** Deleting a page prunes named destinations without recursive calls. Cyclic and shared indirect nodes are visited once. Synthetic deep/cyclic graph, save/reopen and automation regressions cover the change. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-18 (M1, #2658):** macOS atomic saves retain destination extended attributes, including Finder tags, and reject partial resource-fork reads after size changes. Metadata failures retain the original PDF and unsaved edit. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-15 (M7, Edit text caret):** In a text region that mixes sizes (a 24 pt title over 12 pt lines), the inline editor's caret on a small row was as tall as the region's first size and reached into the row below: egui draws the caret at least one row of the text field's font tall, and that font had the paragraph's first size. The field's font is now half the region's smallest size, so each row's own height decides. Kittest regression; checked in the app on a real document. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-16 (M3, #2781):** The Pages panel follows the current page, as Acrobat's page thumbnails do: going to a page whose thumbnail is out of sight (scrolling, Page Down, Go to page, a bookmark) scrolls the panel just enough to show it. A thumbnail already in view, or clicked, leaves the panel where it is, and a page change while the user scrolls the panel or drags thumbnails does not move it. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-16 (M12, #1645):** CLI info, text and render use the engine's dynamic XFA layout rather than placeholder pages. Synthetic two-page and encrypted-form regressions cover counts, text, pixels, copy permissions and unchanged input bytes. Estimates unchanged.

- **2026-10-18 (M4, PR #1919 review):** repeated page indices apply each rotation to the latest page-local value, preserving indirect/inherited angles. Synthetic adjacent/interleaved duplicates retain siblings and page contents through incremental and full saves. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-15 (M4, #1919 refresh):** Integrated upstream `99941daa` while retaining the indirect page rotation correction and all upstream progress. Only independent documentation conflicts required resolution; focused production and test files are unchanged from the previously green CI head. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-18 (M3, #3149):** Page replacement cancels render demand collected for the previous geometry; all viewer raster upload paths reject empty or oversized textures before cache eviction. Synthetic regressions reproduce the reported 1880×2350 upload at a 2048 limit, retain cached images and unsaved edits, and resume bounded backdrops and tiles. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-19 (M3, #3360):** Switching between Read and the docking workspace retains the current document’s scroll position at fixed zoom, including within-page position; separate tabs retain their own offsets. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-18 (M8, #1350):** Integrated current main while preserving content-stream comment boundaries. Hidden-text cleanup retires unused named replacement descriptions on rewritten pages and forms, including inherited/shared resource holders, without removing descriptions still used by surviving content. Synthetic saved-byte and preservation regressions cover the cleanup. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-17 (M4, #2997):** Dragging page thumbnails in the Organize grid with Ctrl held (Option on macOS) drops copies at the gap instead of moving the pages: a "+" badge sits by the pointer, the copies land at the gap selected, and one undo step ("Duplicate pages") takes them out again. `page_duplicate` takes `at` (1-based, where the first copy goes; left out, after the last of them) so agents can drive the same thing, and the UI control channel's `ui.drag` modifiers now reach gestures that read the input state. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-15 (M6, AcroForm XML text):** Plain AcroForm XML imports retain all direct text around comments and processing instructions, including CDATA and character references. Synthetic regressions verify exact values and unknown catalog data after incremental and full save/reopen. Nested-element and XFA interpretation are unchanged. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-15 (M6, #1917 refresh):** Integrated upstream `99941daa` while retaining the XML/XFDF attribute whitespace correction and all upstream progress. Only independent documentation conflicts required resolution; focused production and test files are unchanged from the previously green CI head. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-15 (M1, #2267 refresh):** Integrated upstream `99941daa` while retaining the raw-deflate fallback correction and all upstream progress. Only independent documentation conflicts required resolution; focused production and test files are unchanged from the previously green CI head. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-16 (M10, #1201 partial):** Lossless image export applies each component's Decode pair. Indexed values round and clip before palette lookup. Color-key masks keep raw samples. The existing 16-bit precision limit remains. JPEG and mask Decode, ICC transforms, and calibrated colors remain outside this fix. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-16 (M3, #2739):** Wrapped revision buttons stay above Binding in Document Properties. A synthetic regression checks control bounds and opens a saved revision at two viewport widths. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-19 (M7, tracked text):** Editable paragraphs and object labels distinguish repeated glyph tracking from word gaps in TJ arrays and separately positioned glyphs. Synthetic regressions cover character spacing, horizontal scaling, rotated baselines, larger word gaps, and rows of one-glyph words or cells (inferred tracking is capped at half an em, so `a b c` and digit or Y/N columns keep their spaces). Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-16 (M5, #2669, item 5):** The Comments panel groups replies by name and counts all page roots once per frame. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-16 (M7, #2140):** Header & footer (and Bates numbering, which uses the same dialog) can shrink the page content so the header and footer don't cover it: the original content is scaled evenly into the band they leave free, centred across, also on rotated pages; Remove and Update take the scaling away, and margins that leave no room are refused. Dialog checkbox with a preview of the band, `shrink` on `doc_header_footer`, all catalogs. Annotations and added text and images are not moved yet. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-20 (M14, Spanish catalog gaps):** `es.tsv` gains the 143 `(context, English)` keys the other catalogs carried and it was missing, so Spanish covers the whole bundled key union like Lithuanian and Vietnamese: calendar months and weekdays, the `certificate` context, X.509 key usages, signature-revision and digital-ID lines, password validation, eight plural messages, the combine-from-folder strings, the rendering and stale-file notices and the shortcut-spelled tooltips. Counts in `localization-parity.md` re-measured against the current union (`vi` restated against it for the same reason). Status stays `partial`: no translated help, and OS details stay outside the catalog. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-16 (M14, localization):** Czech goes from menus-and-dialogs to the whole surface: 2,674 entries after adding the ~220 keys the other catalogs had -- the sentences the engine words (signature details, accessibility findings and report, PDF/A problems, pages to print, history labels), the date picker's weekday heads, the certificate viewer's fields and shared buttons. "Tag" is *tag* throughout (the Tags panel said *značky*, which is also a redaction mark), and "{n} tags" no longer reads "1 značek". Two new catalog tests. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-15 (M2, gap 12):** `cargo xtask text-oracle` scores reading order as well as word F1: the longest common subsequence of the two word sequences over the longer one. F1 is a bag of words and cannot see order at all -- measuring #2431, a change that moves text and nothing else, it called 26 of the 29 files whose output changed identical, where the order score separated 18 improvements from 6 regressions. Reports, does not gate; a disagreement with Poppler, not a verdict. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-15 (M2, #2305 follow-up):** WinAnsiEncoding 0xA0 and 0xAD and MacRomanEncoding 0xCA extract as the ordinary space and hyphen Annex D.2 names them, in the vendored hayro tables (patch 30) as well as `crates/fonts`, so search, copy and redaction see characters that were hidden behind U+00A0 and U+00AD. Across the pdf.js corpus the soft hyphens we extract fall 117 to 13 and the non-breaking spaces 30 to 26; the rest come from `/ToUnicode`. An explicit `/Differences` name keeps its glyph list value, as pdftotext does. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-15 (M12, XFA, #2574):** A `pageArea` with no `<occur>` repeats without limit instead of taking a subform's default of one use, so a later page area with `occur max="1"` is no longer drawn (with a copy of its fields) over every body page. A page area's `occur min` is honoured too: one the body never reached gets the pages it still needs after the body (the once-only closing page of a form, with its button, comes last). Acrobat Pro also puts that page last, and when printing keeps it but leaves it blank (`relevant="-print"` on the page area), which PdfCraft does not do yet; both re-observed on a synthetic fixture, see the 2026-10-19 line. Synthetic regression tests. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-19 (M12, XFA, #2574):** The Acrobat observations behind the line above were first made on a public real-world form, which the Privacy rule does not allow; they are replaced by ones made on a synthetic form (three `breakBefore pageArea` sections, then a page area with `occur min="1" max="1"`, with and without `relevant="-print"`). Acrobat Pro shows the closing page last in both and prints it in both, blank only with `relevant="-print"`: confirmed. The synthetic form also shows a difference not fixed yet: Acrobat opens it as 5 pages, with an empty first body page before the first section, where PdfCraft lays out 4. Two more synthetic forms narrow it down: with `breakBefore targetType="pageArea"` on the first section, with or without `startNew`, Acrobat opens an empty body page first; without a break on the first section it lays out 4, as PdfCraft does (so `startNew` is not the cause). Not fixed yet: `layout.rs` skips a break while the page is still empty. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-15 (M8, #2447):** Removing links or comments (Remove Hidden Information, Sanitize) also drops the tagged-PDF structure tree's object references to them, so the full rewrite no longer keeps a removed link's URL or a comment's text. Regression seen to fail without the fix. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-15 (M6, CSV tab-containing headers):** CSV export and spreadsheet merging quote tabs, and import distinguishes quoted tabs from TSV delimiters without changing field identities. Synthetic export/import and incremental/full save regressions cover header tabs, quotes and line breaks, plus ordinary TSV controls. Formula-cell policy is unchanged. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-15 (M6, AcroForm XML text):** Plain AcroForm XML imports retain all direct text around comments and processing instructions, including CDATA and character references. Synthetic regressions verify exact values and unknown catalog data after incremental and full save/reopen. Nested-element and XFA interpretation are unchanged. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-13 (M6, data exchange fidelity):** XML and XFDF exports preserve tabs and line breaks in field names and comment metadata using character references. Saved-PDF regressions cover distinct names that XML would normalize to the same attribute value, restored field values and replacement of the original comment identities. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-15 (M12, XFA, #2574):** A `pageArea` with no `<occur>` repeats without limit instead of taking a subform's default of one use, so a later page area with `occur max="1"` is no longer drawn (with a copy of its fields) over every body page. Synthetic regression test; the page area's `occur min` (a once-only page of its own) is still not laid out, recorded in `form.xfa-dynamic`. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-14 (M12, reading colours, #2059):** Pending page backgrounds use the document's reading colour immediately, preventing white flashes while scrolling to uncached pages. A headless canvas regression covers three pending pages in every preset and a custom background. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-15 (community, M6, #2608):** In Prepare a form the selected field moves with the arrow keys: a point per press, ten with Shift, as the object nudge and dragging it do. Each press is one undo step ("Change field properties"), and the keys no longer turn the page while a field is selected. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-13 (community, M3, #1569 review):** Pixel-only Wayland wheel, wheel-tilt and continuous input use standalone moved events, so Ctrl zoom does not remain latched after the modifier is released (#991); vendored winit patch (13), with a policy test. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-15 (M14, #2383 candidate):** Device-limit requests now clamp unsupported maxima and minimum alignments before enabling the adapter's full 2D texture extent. This addresses the reported V3D request of 16 shader variables on an adapter supporting 15. Synthetic regressions fail before the clamp and pass afterward, along with the existing HiDPI case and Windows GPU-required application tests. Raspberry Pi startup remains unverified; milestone and overall estimates are unchanged.
- **2026-10-12 (M6):** XFDF field import and data-file extraction join all text nodes in a value, preserving text after XML comments and processing instructions. Synthetic regressions cover Unicode, CDATA, empty values and PDF save/reopen. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-12 (M7, picture right-click menu):** The Edit text & images menu of a picture gains Cut Image, Redact Image (a redaction mark over the picture, applied from Redact a PDF), Create Link… and Recognize Text… (for that page), in all 21 catalogs. The menu was drawn only while the pointer was over the picture, so its items outside the picture (most of a logo's menu, and Delete below a page) could not be clicked; an open menu now stays drawn. Still missing from Acrobat's menu: Arrange (bring to front, send backward), Remove crop, Draw freehand and Edit image using… (opening an external editor).
- **2026-10-15 (M14, Norwegian Bokmål localization):** Added Norwegian Bokmål (`nb`) as an interface and date language: a catalog covering every key the other catalogs have, Norwegian key names, month and weekday names for Fill & Sign dates, and `no`/`nn` locales resolving to it until a Nynorsk catalog exists. Written from the meaning of the English labels; terminology reviewed by a native-speaking contributor, not yet every line. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-12 (M2, inline-image boundaries):** Unfiltered inline images with known sample layouts keep pixel bytes that look like the `EI` terminator when content is rewritten. Regression tests cover row padding, colour-space and parameter aliases, masks and malformed sizes; classic and packed saved PDFs retain the pixels in independent readers and renderers. Filtered and resource-defined layouts retain the existing tolerant heuristic. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-12 (M3, drawing markups):** While a comment is being drawn, the pointer in a band along any edge of the view (or just past it) scrolls the view up, down, left or right, so points beyond what is shown can be reached. A polygon, cloud or run of connected lines takes back its last point with Backspace, Delete or Undo (the first point's removal cancels it). Edge scrolling has unit tests of its maths only; it has not been exercised end to end in the app by an automated test.
- **2026-10-15 (M2, large object streams):** An object stream's index of `objnum offset` pairs is read once per stream instead of once per object fetched from it (vendored hayro-syntax patch 22), so reading every object of a stream of N objects no longer takes N² steps. A Firefox page whose 65,542 objects share one stream (pdf.js corpus `bug1978317.pdf`) drew in 37 s and extracted its text in 40 s; it now takes 0.5 s and 1.9 s, and leaves the robustness baseline's known timeouts. 40,000 pages in one stream open in 0.2 s instead of 54 s. The regression fails before the fix. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-12 (gap 6, #1319, #1305, #1324):** Editing an XFA form keeps a radio item's stored text when it contains a space, so a later layout still selects it. Replace Pages on a split selection replaces those pages and leaves the gap; editing the dialog range still replaces the span. Marking a figure decorative rewrites only that figure's content stream, so a header, added text and unknown stream entries stay. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-15 (M14, gap 24):** `misc.localization` and `misc.installers` move from planned to partial. Localization: 22 catalogs ship, but Chinese shows tofu in releases, Telugu has no release font and Arabic is not mirrored. Installers: macOS and Windows releases are signed, Linux packages are not. The Acrobat menu diff itself remains open. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-15 (M14, PNG export):** Export ▸ Image as PNG, `pdfcraft-cli render` and the `page_render` automation/MCP tool write an opaque page as RGB at deflate level 3 instead of RGBA at the default level 6: the files stay the same size and are written 3–5× faster (a 300-dpi scan drawn at 220 dpi: 805 → 167 ms; a text page at 220 dpi: 70 → 40 ms; an annual-report page at 150 dpi: 179 → 64 ms). A page with translucent pixels is still written as RGBA. The automation tools use the engine's encoder instead of a copy of it. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-15 (G14, Romanian localization):** Added Romanian (`ro`, Română) as an interface and date language with a 2,673-entry catalog covering every bundled key, and a CLDR plural rule (`plural_ro`: one / few / other, "20 de pagini"). Locale tags `ro` / `ro-RO` / `ro_RO.UTF-8` / `ro-MD` resolve, so Auto picks it on Romanian Windows. Coverage and plural tests added. Status `partial` like the other catalogs (no translated help).
- **2026-10-22 (M14, JPEG and TIFF export):** Export ▸ Image as JPEG or TIFF refuses a raster that is not exactly width × height pixels, as PNG export has since #2425. A raster a pixel short panicked inside the JPEG and TIFF encoders, and a partial pixel at the end was dropped and the rest written as a valid image. Rendered pages are always the right size, so what exports is unchanged. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-13 (G14, Vietnamese localization):** Added Vietnamese (`vi`, Tiếng Việt) as an interface and date language with a 2,591-entry catalog (`plural_none`) covering 100% of the current localizable key union (plus `theme`/`Appearance`). Locale tags `vi` / `vi-VN` / `vi_VN.UTF-8` resolve; calendar months use numeric `Tháng 1`…`12` / `tháng 1`…`12`. Native-speaker community review recorded. The twelve-language localization mean moves from ≈59% to ≈68%; weighted readiness ≈49% → ≈50%. Status stays `partial`: engine/OS details, document contents, filenames, CLI/MCP and external help stay outside the catalog by design.

- **2026-10-13 (M3, typed zoom):** The right rail's zoom percentage is an editable field: type 150, 150% or 62.5 % and press Enter, Escape discards, and nonsense keeps the current zoom. The control channel's zoom option shares its parser, which now refuses zero, negative and non-finite values.
- **2026-10-13 (M4, indirect page rotation):** Rotation queries and edits resolve indirect integer values on pages and their page-tree ancestors. Turning a page already at 270° by 90° now saves it at 0°, including when its rotation is inherited. Synthetic full/incremental save-and-reopen tests cover nested inheritance, sibling preservation, negative/large angles and invalid-value fallback. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-14 (M1, Flate fallback):** Raw deflate whose first bytes resemble a zlib header no longer loses a decoding-limit error during fallback. Strict and tolerant filter regressions and a COS stream regression cover refusal at the caller limit and successful decoding within it. No parity status or estimate changes.
- **2026-10-12 (M6, XML field names):** AcroForm XML data export constrains generated element names to XML 1.0 NCNames, so Latin-1 names such as `Area²` and `Aµ` produce readable data files. Original PDF field names travel through the existing `xfdf:original` attribute; previously valid tags, including Greek and CJK, keep their spelling. Saved-PDF regressions cover invalid prefixes, combining letters and normalized-name collisions. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-12 (M6, CSV carriage returns):** Form-data CSV export quotes carriage returns in field names and values, so a trailing carriage return cannot turn into a record separator and disappear on reimport. Saved-PDF round-trip regressions cover CR, LF, CRLF, commas and quotes; estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-13 (community, M14, #1553 review):** Relative Fontconfig includes resolve beside each including config, including nested configuration selected through `FONTCONFIG_PATH`. Directory includes accept only digit-prefixed `*.conf` in lexical order. Isolated regressions reproduce both review findings; configuration size/count/depth limits, cycles, symlinked config and valid reset ordering are covered. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-12 (community, M14, NixOS UI fonts):** Linux/Unix interface fallback fonts are also discovered in Fontconfig's configured directories, including Nix store and user font paths. Existing candidate names, glyph checks, size limits and the screenshot opt-out are retained. Synthetic regressions cover included configuration, symlinks, cycles, depth limits and candidate ordering. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-12 (M7, local text-box candidate):** Add Text opens source text for editing and both text tools retype added items on one click. Draft boxes grow toward the page edge and downwards, with the grown width saved. Single visual rows grow across style boundaries, while multi-row paragraph widths stay fixed. Added-text previews remove only the selected item on a clone, with UI and read-only tool regressions. Arabic shaping, ordering and alignment are outside this candidate. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-12 (M14, #1395):** XDG desktops use the configuration base for app.ron, safely copying existing preferences without overwriting a destination. Original preferences, logs, recovery and digital IDs are retained; failed migration falls back to the original location. Portable and non-XDG locations remain unchanged; estimates unchanged.

- **2026-10-12 (M10, Windows print progress, follow-up to #944):** While a job spools, the progress card counts its sheets ("Sending sheet 2 of 3 to Office…") as craft-print reports them (`submit_with_progress`, storytold/craft-libs#27), and steps aside for another long job's card. Pins craft-libs 666c358. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-15 (M2, renderer speed):** Three vendored hayro-interpret patches (31–33), pixel for pixel the same over the first three pages of every pdf.js corpus file. A sampled (Type 0) function keeps its samples in one flat array instead of a hash map rebuilt every time a shading using it is painted: `bug1721218` (InDesign) draws in 0.49 s (was 1.34 s), and a 2,097,152-sample ramp painted 30 times in under a second (was 38 s). One decode of a JPEG or Flate image serves every size it is drawn at (only JPX decodes for a size), so zooming a 300-dpi scan in and out costs 35–40% less render work. Coons and tensor patch meshes copy their vertices' colours less: mesh-gradient pages draw 10–16% faster (page 8 of #1584's annual report 773 → 696 ms). Estimates unchanged.
- 2026-10-12 · M3: selected page text can be copied from Edit and the canvas context menu (#1225). Five focused regressions, full CI and native Unicode clipboard checks pass; floating Copy shares the document permission gate. Estimates unchanged.

- **2026-10-13 (M2, page-label prefixes):** Preserve literal leading and trailing whitespace in page-label prefixes without changing generic metadata normalization. Nine original public-inspection cases cover prefix spaces, encodings and empty-prefix controls. Existing empty-prefix fallback remains a compatibility policy, not a conformance claim. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-14 (M14, Italian catalog):** Italian gains the 201 entries the other catalogs had and the code looks up: the sentences the accessibility checker, preflight, signature validation and page-range parser word, certificate and calendar labels, digital-ID dialog messages and five plurals. It now has 2,528 entries. 64 keys other catalogs carry but no code looks up (tooltip texts with a fixed shortcut, older wordings, generic labels only Lithuanian has) were left out. AI-assisted, written from the meaning of the English; native review welcome. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-15 (M3, #2166 part 1):** Save asks before writing over a version of the file the document did not come from (something else wrote it since the open or the last save), with Save as… to keep it, and the changed-on-disk notice says what Reload and Save each do; a file that is open already comes to the front instead of opening twice; a running instance's autosaves are locked, so a second instance neither offers nor discards them. Part 2 (every writer checked and atomic) is #2182.
- **2026-10-14 (M1, #2166):** No PDF leaves the engine unchecked and no writer truncates: new files from Combine, Extract, Split and Create, signed, timestamped and LTV-embedded files and the OCR batch output reopen with their pages before anyone writes them, as saves already did; the desktop app, the automation tools (with or without `--root`) and the CLI's edit, combine, extract and split all write through the one staging-file writer in `pdfcraft-platform`, so a failed write or `--out` naming the input never leaves a half-written file. Special files such as `/dev/stdout` are still written as given.
- **2026-10-14 (M3 #2080 candidate):** Existing per-tab page history gains explicit search jumps, rail buttons and control-channel commands. Continuous scrolling and automatic search refresh stay outside history; page-level restoration and estimates unchanged.

- **2026-10-13 (M2, page-unit transform precision):** Preserve small transform coefficients in page marks, added content and print output. Regression cases cover accepted page units of 4096 and 75000; existing page-unit interpretation and estimates are unchanged.
- **2026-10-14 (M5, PR #1457 branch refresh):** Merged upstream main and reconciled roadmap entries while preserving comment submission shortcuts. Estimates unchanged.

- **2026-10-12 (M3, page-label navigation):** The page box displays logical labels and keeps the current page when its unchanged value is submitted, including duplicate labels. Editable-control regressions also cover numeric fallback, invalid input, active typing and focused same-document replacement with changed labels or fewer pages. Clean file-watcher reload preserves the chosen scrolling mode, preventing a Single Page reader from jumping to page 1 during replacement. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-13 (community, M2/M6, form-heavy documents):** An image whose pixels hold at most 16 bits of samples (an 8-bit Separation or DeviceN spot-colour image, a 1-4-bit gray or indexed one) is converted once per possible pixel value instead of once per pixel (vendored hayro-interpret patch 28). A fillable character sheet whose 3304 × 4105 DeviceN background ran a PostScript tint transform per pixel drew each page in 3.8 s and 430 MB, on opening and again after every field was filled; it now draws in 0.11 s and 100 MB, pixel for pixel the same. The inspector places widgets without `/P` in one pass over the pages (a form of 8,000 such fields opened in 1.17 s), and the Fields panel pairs its rows with the form through one map a frame and draws only the rows in view (8,000 fields: about 15× less CPU a frame with the panel open). Regressions fail before each fix.
- **2026-10-14 (M9, signature appearance labels):** A visible signature's labels ("Digitally signed by", "Reason: ", …) follow the interface language when Helvetica can draw all of them, and fall back to English as a set otherwise, with a note under the preview; the preview shows the same labels and the signing time. A drawn label the font can't draw is refused naming the label and character, never written as `?`. `sign_document` takes `labels` and `appearance`. Sign, automation and kittest regressions cover German, Chinese and the refusals. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-13 (M4, #1910 Organize on the current page):** Opening Organize Pages from the toolbar, tool panel, command or `--organize` selects the page being read and scrolls its cell into view, replacing a stale grid selection that did not include it. One UI regression covers a middle page, the last page and reopening after an earlier selection. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-13 (M5, signature pad undo):** The Draw tab of Create signature/initials has an Undo button and Ctrl/Cmd+Z that take back the last stroke (#1963). Pad is UI-only, so no automation tool. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-13 (M2, raw crop and page-unit floor):** The renderer applies its existing one-point minimum in physical points for non-nearly-zero raw crop dimensions on scaled pages. Five synthetic regressions cover inspection, crop origins and rotations, reciprocal rounding and bounded raster controls. Existing UserUnit policy, nearly-zero fallback, feature statuses and estimates are unchanged.
- **2026-10-13 (M5, text box font size, #1908):** Comment Properties has a Font size control for text boxes, typewriter text and callouts (1-400 pt); it writes `/DA` and the rich-text strings, redraws the appearance and grows the box to fit. `comment_edit` takes `font_size`. Annot, tool and UI regressions. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-13 (M3, Single Page edge paging, #1924):** In Single Page view a page taller than the window pans with the wheel, and one more notch (or a fresh trackpad swipe) at the bottom/top edge shows the next page at its top / the previous page at its bottom. A swipe that panned to the edge, momentum included, does not turn. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-13 (M3, #1980):** Ctrl+Alt+Q in the digital ID email field no longer requests application exit. Quit requires exact Ctrl+Q/Cmd+Q modifiers and uses the existing unsaved-document confirmation. Synthetic keyboard regressions cover email input and clean/dirty quit requests; estimates unchanged.

- **2026-10-14 (M4, page transitions read, §12.4.4):** `/Trans` and `/Dur` are read into `DocInfo::transitions` and listed by `doc_info`, the data a full-screen presentation needs to play transitions and auto-advance; playing and editing them stay planned.
- **2026-10-14 (M4, page transitions set, §12.4.4):** `page_transition_set` (one undoable edit) writes or removes `/Trans` and `/Dur` on chosen pages with the values checked first, the counterpart of reading them into `DocInfo::transitions`; playing them and the dialog stay planned.
- **2026-10-14 (M12, transition geometry):** `pdfcraft_render::transition` gives the picture of any of the twelve page transitions at a moment of its run (which parts of the old and new page to paint, where, how opaque), in page fractions, tested for every style and direction; the full-screen presentation will paint from it once it plays transitions.
- **2026-10-14 (M3, Open in Full Screen mode honoured):** a document with `/PageMode /FullScreen` now asks (Full Screen / Not now) before the app enters full screen, as Acrobat does; before, the setting was written and read but never acted on when opening.
- **2026-10-14 (M3, control-click candidate):** Coordinate clicks retain hover warmup and pair press/release in one input pass so slow frames do not turn a click into a hold. Text multi-click selection accepts the actual press event when egui has already cleared its origin. Regression cases cover slow-frame button activation, disabled controls and coalesced text selection; estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-14 (community, M7, #128 Hebrew in Add text):** Add text and `page_add_text` draw Hebrew with the craft-fonts Hebr face (Noto Sans Hebrew), through the same shaped path as Arabic and Thai: right-to-left display order with numbers and Latin in place, points and cantillation kept on their letter as one Type 3 glyph, ToUnicode and per-line ActualText so extraction, search and the editor get typing order. Builds without the face refuse Hebrew rather than write `?`. Regular style only. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-14 (M9, #1787):** Changes after signing are judged by the role an object held when signed for a page's resources too: a rewritten font, XObject, graphics state or resources dictionary is page content however its new version is labelled, so a `/FT` or `/Subtype /Widget` added by the attacker no longer reads as a permitted form fill. A category dictionary that only gained a name is judged as before.
- **2026-10-14 (M3, full screen as presentation, #379/#1459/#1353):** Full Screen Mode shows one page (or one spread) at a time fitted to the screen on black, with no tools; click, Space, Enter and the arrows turn pages; Esc restores the display from before. Transitions, auto-advance and loop remain planned.
- **2026-10-14 (M10, #1818):** Properties… reads a CUPS printer's driver options off the GUI thread, the dialog saying so meanwhile, and `lpoptions` is given ten seconds before it is killed and the PPD's defaults stand; a read that dies leaves the panel with nothing rather than a frozen window. The bounded wait is tested with a stand-in command that never answers.
- **2026-10-14 (M10 #2156 candidate):** Print paper selection survives Cancel and settings restoration; canonical names avoid preset-index dependence. Other print preferences and estimates unchanged.

- **2026-10-15 (community, M14, Polish signature panel):** A Polish signature panel listed its details in English: the catalog lacked every signature wording, the changes after signing they name and 34 UI literals. All 101 are translated; `polish_covers_ui_literals` and `polish_says_what_a_signature_says` keep them so. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-14 (M14, Finnish localization):** Added Finnish as another interface and date language, with a 2,674-entry catalog covering every key of the other bundled catalogs and two-form plurals (partitive after numbers other than 1). Calendar dates use partitive month names (`14. lokakuuta 2026`). Coverage tests check commands/tools, scanned UI literals and bundled catalog keys. AI-assisted; native proofreading pending.
- **2026-10-14 (M14, Catalan localization):** Added Catalan as another interface and date language, with a 2,592-entry clean-room catalog, one/other plurals and coverage tests for commands, tools, UI literals and every key in the other catalogs. A native Catalan speaker (the contributor) has reviewed the translation. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-13 (M3, native-opening candidate):** Chosen tools survive preparation, conversion and password retries; startup intake waits for pending preparation. Regression tests cover completion, cancellation and document identity. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-13 (community, M3, #531 touchpad momentum):** On Wayland a two-finger swipe keeps gliding after the fingers lift and slows to a stop, measured from the gesture's last 0.1 s and decaying with a 0.35 s time constant through the #759 1:1 path. Any wheel input, click, key, zoom or edge ends it (fingers resting on the touchpad don't yet: the vendored winit binds no Wayland hold gestures); single-page paging, macOS (which sends its own momentum), the web, and Animation effects Off never glide. Unit tests for the physics and two headless view tests. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-13 (M3, native-open admission):** Later prepared replies stay queued while a modal or native picker owns the foreground. Picker completion, cancellation and abandonment wake retained opens. Regressions cover recipient ownership, exactly-once admission, source/history preservation and one-shot repaint requests. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-13 (M6, choice indices):** Multi-select choice fields write ascending `/I` option indices while preserving the caller's `/V` order. Synthetic forms and headless engine regressions cover reverse selection and save/reopen. Estimates unchanged.

- **2026-10-12 (M10, Windows printing without PowerShell, #1107):** craft-print now prints on Windows in-process: printers from EnumPrinters/GetDefaultPrinter, jobs drawn as vectors by Windows.Data.Pdf into the XPS print API with a driver-validated PrintTicket (exact paper, orientation, no scaling), so printing works where App Control for Business or AppLocker run PowerShell in Constrained Language Mode. Portrait and landscape sheets still print as one job (turned with /Rotate); a sheet size the driver lacks is refused rather than shrunk. Pins craft-libs f03ec27 (craft-libs#28); deny.toml allows the storytold/winprint.rs fork and adds a webpki-root-certs licence exception and a RUSTSEC-2024-0370 ignore for winprint's build-dependencies. An earlier craft-print revision was checked in Windows Sandbox under enforced WDAC: printers listed, CLI and desktop jobs spooled, and no powershell.exe in the 4688 audit. The final pinned revision passed craft-libs Windows CI, including a real paused-queue job; that Sandbox run has not been repeated. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-12 (M1, #1338):** A full rewrite used to build a new trailer from `/Root`, `/Info`, `/Encrypt` and `/ID`, so accepted unknown entries such as a custom string or `/Version` disappeared, including when an incremental save was forced to rewrite. Those entries are copied, and objects reachable only from them are written and renumbered with the rest of the file. Ordinary incremental saves are unchanged. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-12 (M4, #1310, #1311, #1312):** Undo back to the opened file left it marked unsaved, so recovery and close treated unchanged work as dirty. After a save, Revert followed the restored snapshot's older base and the next save dropped the latest saved revision. The last saved file is remembered on its own: undo and redo are clean only when they land on it, Revert opens it, and a later save appends to it. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-12 (M13, CLI robustness scans):** `pdfcraft-cli check` visits a directory once even when input roots overlap or directory symlinks lead back into the tree. PDFs reached through file symlinks remain accepted. Three real CLI regressions cover overlapping roots, a directory cycle and directory/file aliases. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-12 (M4, Type 3 extraction fidelity):** Extract and Split preserve shared image/resource dictionaries reached through Type 3 glyphs, including nested forms, patterns and soft masks. A bounded object-graph walk protects unknown glyph content; unreadable pages/forms retain their glyph resources, and shared explicit fonts are visited once. Separate page dictionaries still prune unused images. Synthetic save/reopen regressions and an opt-in Poppler pixel oracle cover resource ownership, nested forms, cycles, limits and repeated fonts. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-12 (M2, TIFF predictor rows):** Packed RGB images using TIFF horizontal differencing keep every row when samples do not fill the last byte. The renderer aligns each decoded row before moving to the next. Synthetic decoding tests cover 1/2/4-bit samples, horizontal differencing and an 8-bit control; a red/green page-render regression verifies visible output. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-12 (M3, #1364 candidate):** Absolute local GoToR links wait for Allow/Cancel before target-file access. Pending requests preserve their source and page/view destination; relative links retain their existing behavior. Headless `link_open` requires explicit `allow_absolute: true`, preserving existing root, symlink, file and password validation. Estimates unchanged.

- **2026-10-12 (community, M7, inline Arabic ActualText):** A single-glyph lam-alef `/ActualText` span joins its surrounding word in Edit text instead of splitting it into separate lines. Pure RTL ligature text is put in visual order before line assembly and recovered to typing order with its neighbours. Multi-glyph and mixed-direction replacements retain their authoritative order. Synthetic regressions cover lam-alef variants, marks, two-byte glyph codes, nested spans, replacement and save/reopen. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-12 (M5, #1398):** A stamp placed on a page with `/Rotate` reads upright as that page is displayed. Rubber stamps (including Sign Here), natural-size and explicit-rectangle images, and PDF-page stamps counterrotate their appearance; restyling a picture stamp keeps that correction, and a saved file reopens the same way. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-12 (M10, file formats):** Create PDF reads BigTIFF scans; a malformed GIF header is no longer detected as an image only to fail conversion. file-format-parity.md now lists XDP data import/export for XFA forms (already shipped under `form.xfa-data`) separately from opening `.xdp` as a document. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-12 (gap 6, #1317, #1327, #1302, #1315, #1340):** Flattening keeps a visible comment it cannot draw, such as a cloudy square with no stored appearance, and still draws a solid square, a hidden comment and a cloudy square that already has an appearance. A text box another program drew is left unchanged when a restyle or resize is refused. Make Current Properties Default on an arrow updates the Arrow tool and leaves plain lines alone. A custom text match that ends on a reconstructed word or line separator no longer includes the next glyph. The vertical-writing redaction refusal still fails closed, and its message no longer says the text was under the mark. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-12 (M12, text-only auto-tag):** Automatically tag PDF now writes marked text objects, paragraph tags, a Document element and a parent tree for untagged text-only PDFs. The result is undoable and opens the Tags panel for review. Mixed paint, forms, annotations, existing tags and malformed streams are refused before mutation. Synthetic two-page engine and tool tests check the tree, checker, unchanged rendering and save/reopen. Richer content and role classification remain open. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-12 (M7, #1316):** Replacing a line or paragraph no longer removes a distinct neighbour whose glyph box overlaps the edited line. A second drawing is removed only when it also sits on the same baseline, so fake-bold and invisible copies still go. Synthetic regressions cover 6 pt leading, the same word on the next line, ordinary spacing, a separate paragraph, same-position copies, and incremental and full save/reopen. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-12 (M5, comment shortcuts):** Ctrl+Enter posts highlight comment text and replies; Shift+Enter adds a newline. Replies keep Enter-to-post, and floating comment composers only submit from their focused editor. Estimates unchanged.

- **2026-10-12 (M7, #1443):** Adding a word to a multi-line paragraph no longer reflows or merges its lines. Two causes: in Chrome- and Skia-made subset fonts, `/W` leaves out glyphs of the `/DW` width, which were treated as missing, so unchanged rows measured too wide and rewrapped (and new letters fell back to Helvetica); and lines drawn turned on the page (a landscape page drawn a quarter turn round) were compared along the page's x axis, so all of them became one line. Lines and rows are now found along each text's own baseline, a turned paragraph is rewritten in its own text space, and that rewrite keeps explicit line breaks. Formatting part of turned text is refused rather than misplaced. Synthetic regressions cover three turns and a default-width subset. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-12 (M1, #1339):** An incremental save of an unchanged classic-table file used to append `xref` and then `trailer` with no subsection, which qpdf reports as a damaged file. The section now has a zero-length subsection, so no object entry changes and a trailer-only edit is still written. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-12 (M12, auto-tag preview):** The engine and `accessibility_autotag_preview` propose paragraph and large-heading roles for bounded text blocks on one page, with locations and reasons. Every proposal needs review; images remain unclassified. No PDF tags are written yet. Synthetic tool tests cover normal text, a larger heading, bounds and unchanged source bytes. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-12 (M10, editing OCR text on scans):** Editing a recognised word on a scanned page now changes what the page shows. Before, the rewrite stayed invisible OCR text, so the scan still showed the old word; on a form, the whole OCR layer also grouped into one paragraph that rewrapped when one word changed. OCR words now group into phrases (a table cell or a tab stop splits them, and lines stay apart); an edit draws the phrase visibly in the scan's sampled ink colour over a cover in the sampled paper colour, keeping each word's width and growing rightwards. The editor covers the scanned word while typing. OCR words are now sized from their letters (a capitals-only word's box spans the cap height, not the full ascender-descender span), so recognised and rewritten text is as tall as the scanned word and sits on its baseline. Five engine tests on synthetic scans and a kittest UI test; `ocr.editable-text-output` is partial.
- **2026-10-12 (M2, Lab Bradford follow-up):** Lab white-point adaptation scales Bradford LMS cone responses using LMS white-point ratios. Independent D50 and equal-energy neutral/chromatic render oracles, D65 identity, direct/Indexed consistency with asymmetric chromatic Range, and degenerate-cone fallback cover the correction. CalRGB and the merged Indexed/Range scaling retain their behavior. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-12 (community, M14, recovery metadata):** A recovery snapshot whose metadata is missing, damaged or names another snapshot is no longer deleted when the folder is listed: it is offered for recovery without an original path (Save asks for a destination), and encrypted snapshots still ask for their password. Recovering one writes fresh metadata in place of the damaged file, and clearing the folder also removes metadata left without a snapshot. Before, a failed metadata write meant the next start deleted the finished snapshot. Synthetic regressions cover the failed write, missing, corrupt, mismatched and encrypted cases. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-12 (M7, Arabic ActualText):** Add text records each shaped line in typing order with `/ActualText`, so copy and search preserve mixed Arabic, Latin, digits and brackets. Edit text keeps the logical order supplied by `/ActualText` instead of reversing Arabic or Hebrew a second time. Adjacent visual glyph runs retain their own bidi recovery. Font-independent tests cover Arabic marks, numbers, Latin words, reopen and complete replacement; automation checks saved editor text and unchanged rendering. Font fallback and bidi typing remain separate gaps; estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-12 (M5, Fill & Sign text size):** The active Fill & Sign toolbar now chooses 4–300 pt for new text and dates; the in-place editor and saved annotation use that size, which persists in local settings. `fill_sign_add` accepts the same `font_size`. Feature and readiness estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-12 (community, M3, Greek search):** Case-insensitive Find treats normal, final and capital sigma (`σ`, `ς`, `Σ`) as the same letter, so `κόσμος` and `ΚΌΣΜΟΣ` find each other. Case-sensitive and whole-word options, glyph ranges and match limits retain their behavior. Synthetic text-search regressions cover both directions. The tab-menu regression selects the platform's Reveal label (Finder on macOS), restoring the macOS test without changing the menu. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-12 (M2, soft scans):** A shrunk, interpolated, axis-aligned image (a 300 dpi scan on a screen) is snapped to whole device pixels and shrunk once, not resampled a second time at a fractional scale and offset. On a synthetic scan page the error against an area-average reference fell from 3.4 to 1.6 grey levels at 96 dpi, and edge sharpness is within 2% of the reference (was 10% soft). Rotated, skewed, flipped and non-interpolated images are unchanged; downscaling of those is still open.
- **2026-10-12 (M14, Lithuanian localization):** Added Lithuanian as another interface and date language alongside the existing languages, with a 2,578-entry catalog and three-form plurals. Calendar, inspector and password-dialog regressions check localized labels and unchanged document values. The contributor has reviewed the translation as a native Lithuanian speaker. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-12 (M12, XFA scripts turned off):** When a runaway script turns an XFA form's scripts off, the app now says so: a toast as it happens (at open or after a click), and the notice bar from then on, ahead of its other notices, with a JavaScript Console button. Before, the error was only in the console, so calculations and buttons just stopped. A notice bar the user had closed comes back for it; closed again, it stays closed. The engine reports the state (`Document::xfa_scripts_off`, and `xfa_scripts_off` in `doc_info`) instead of the UI reading error text. Two kittest UI tests (a runaway at open; a runaway click after the bar was closed), engine assertions and a `doc_info` tool test. Overall unchanged.
- **2026-10-12 (M14, Windows low-DPI font-hinting candidate):** The Windows policy disables symmetric rendering for embedded JetBrains Mono only. On the locked-font macOS probe, horizontal alpha-edge energy per ink improves 2.78%, 3.87% and 1.59% at 100%, 125% and 150% scaling, and is down 0.79% at 200%; Inter is pixel-identical. Logical layout hashes and 8 MiB atlas size match, repeated fractional offsets add no atlas dimensions, and baseline/candidate time and RSS ranges overlap. Windows runtime and hardware remain unverified; estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-12 (M7, #1200 candidate):** Bounded local GoToR file specifications open in desktop tabs; explicit numeric page views apply, while named destinations open at the default view with a warning. The automation tool resolves relative to the source and uses existing `--root` confinement. Appearance-only Link Properties edits preserve the existing action. URL/network paths remain refused; `/NewWindow` is a tab hint. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-12 (M1, #1337):** COS opening repairs exhausted cross-reference entries and records the skipped row; allocation safely falls back to unused numbers for exhausted /Size hints and high edits. Classic-table and stream regressions reproduce the former panic; ordinary, zero-offset and repaired-range controls preserve opening and allocation. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-12 (M7, private image crops):** Exclusive image crops resize with their pixels across nested states, intervening operators and content streams; shared clips remain fixed. Synthetic engine/tool regressions and private image save/reopen checks; estimates unchanged.

- **2026-10-12 (M12, accessibility finding locations):** Checker findings for figures, annotations and form widgets carry verified page bounds. Selecting one flashes its location; the headless check returns the same PDF-space rectangle. Malformed annotation rectangles remain page-only findings. Guided review and tagging estimates unchanged.

- **2026-10-12 (M14, gap 13, large-file memory):** Measured on synthetic 1 GiB and 100,000-page files. Edits let go of the previous working file (working bytes, display bytes, renderer) before writing the next, so a 1 GiB file peaks at two copies while editing instead of three (five edits: 3.1 → 2.1 GiB, 16 → 8.5 s). Saving still peaks at three; reading from disk on demand is blocked on the renderer (gap 2). Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-12 (M2, short text redraws):** Same-line redraws that restart a matching three-glyph prefix after more than one glyph-height of progress split before placement, so short doubled words no longer interleave. The existing redraw-position tolerance is reused; controls cover negative TJ movement, combining marks, RTL, CJK, vertical and turned text. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-11 (M5, #1191):** Quick-bar colour changes now restyle the selected comment when it matches the active comment tool, while continuing to update that tool's default; added an accessible label to the swatch controls and a UI regression proving the saved style and undo step. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-11 (M10.5, focused follow-up to #599):** Carry the architectural/ANSI/large ISO paper presets, current-page matching at 100%, and previewed PDF scale into the current print dialog and `doc_print`. Retains the #847/#1007 spooler and background discovery. Driver substitution, physical calibration, vector Windows printing and managed-endpoint restrictions remain separate gaps. Overall estimates unchanged.

- **2026-10-11 (contributor fork, M7):** Full matching font import completes source-subset glyphs; installed/file font selection, TrueType/OpenType-CFF mapping, disjoint range styles, marked paragraph boundaries and single-face contextual shaping/bidi added. Private Chinese keyboard edits on all four pages preserve source anchors and save/reopen renders. Curved clips exclude holes from hit tests; shared path scopes are isolated for image transforms without moving neighbouring paint. No font binary or private fixture is published; release font inputs and readiness estimates unchanged.

- **2026-10-11 (M7, cropped image resize follow-up):** Resize from the visible (clipped) frame; an image's own clip moves with it (#1049) and shared clips stay fixed. Selected corner grips keep control over overlapping text; horizontal/vertical-only shrinking responds without freezing; one drag frame is previewed and one edit is applied on release. Synthetic pointer/tool regressions and private grow/shrink/save/reopen/undo rendering checks cover the regression. Shared clipping scopes containing unrelated painted content are refused. Estimates unchanged.

- **2026-10-11 (M7, cropped artwork selection):** Image/Form inventories now expose page/path-clipped visible bounds while retaining full placement geometry for transforms. Edit clicks prioritize text over background artwork; image frames stay within their own page and fixed clips remain fixed during movement. Engine/tool/UI regressions and an opt-in four-page private-file test cover direct access to 73 text regions and five cropped placements. Rectangular clips are exact; curved/complex clips use conservative bounds. Estimates unchanged.

- **2026-10-11 (M7, live text editor follow-up):** Reuse validated embedded sfnt source faces; adapt Mac format-6 subset cmaps through PDF Unicode mappings in memory without changing or installing source fonts. Preserve source baseline positions on entry. Show draft text and a single frame that grows/shrinks as rows are added or removed; single rows can grow toward the page edge. `text_edit_layout` exposes read-only draft bounds through the engine and automation. Licensed synthetic font/frame regressions and an opt-in all-page private-file check cover source font usage, stable positions, typing and deletion. Unsupported source programs, shaping and installed-font selection remain limited; estimates unchanged.

- **2026-10-11 (M7, mixed-style regions follow-up):** Group adjacent source runs into visual rows and aligned rows into regions across subset fonts, colours, weights and text-matrix sizes. One inline TextEdit uses styled spans and source row breaks; rewriting preserves surviving source-run styles, source subset encodings and centered mixed-size title alignment. Added engine, automation and UI regressions for edit/delete, read-only preview, save/reopen and undo; privately verified the supplied real PDF's three-row title and six-row body, including selecting both in one editor without extra rows. `text_paragraphs` exposes `editor_text` and `rows`. Installed-font selection, exact editor glyphs, complex shaping and arbitrary multi-range style edits remain open. Readiness estimates unchanged.

- **2026-10-11 (M7, contributor fork):** Join compatible words across text objects and subset-font spaces; preserve source fonts that lack a space glyph using text positioning; recognize component colour operators. Inline editing uses one editor frame, resets its available width when switching blocks, keeps source line breaks, and renders a COS-clone background without the original glyphs, preserving unselected text advances. `page_render.hide_text_block` exposes the same read-only preview. Mixed-style paragraph grouping, installed-font selection and exact source-font editor rendering remain open.

Newest first: the date, what moved, and the new overall estimate.

- **2026-10-12 (M3, GNOME title bar, #553):** On GNOME's Wayland session, whose compositor draws no window frames (it offers no `zxdg_decoration_manager_v1`), PdfCraft no longer shows winit's fallback title bar: it turns the frame off and the tab strip becomes the header bar, as in GNOME's own apps. Minimize, maximize/restore and close are drawn in Adwaita's style, in the order and on the side GNOME's `button-layout` names (Fedora's default shows only close); the window's edges and corners resize it, and a hairline outlines it while it isn't maximized. Preferences ▸ Use system title bar (shown only there) gives the window back winit's frame at once, without a restart (part of #1001), and `PDFCRAFT_TITLEBAR=app|system` overrides the choice. KDE, Sway, Hyprland, COSMIC and X11 keep the frame their desktop draws. Not done: right-clicking the header bar doesn't open GNOME's window menu (egui can't ask for it), the window has no shadow or rounded corners, the resize edges lie just inside the window rather than outside it, and Windows still uses its system frame (the rest of #1001). Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-12 (M0, build label):** A local or patched build can carry a label, set at compile time with `PDFCRAFT_BUILD_LABEL`: `pdfcraft --version`, `pdfcraft-cli --version`, About and the log show `0.7.1 (titlebar)`, and `packaging/linux/package.sh` names the files `pdfcraft-0.7.1-titlebar-…` and makes the .rpm/.deb release `1.titlebar`, which upgrades over the release of the same version (and the next release over it). The version itself is unchanged, so the update check still compares it with published releases. Unlabelled builds are as before. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-11 (M6, #1208):** Dropdown and list-box Field Properties expose the existing Left/Center/Right alignment picker. Existing alignment stays intact until changed; cancel, undo/redo and save/reopen are covered through the real UI without changing options, values or flags. Estimates unchanged.
- 2026-10-11: Organize Pages shows an editable, synchronized physical page-range selection (#1092), with bounded validation and UI/operation regression coverage; overall estimate unchanged.

- **2026-10-11 (M5.7, scanned signatures, #1110):** Fill & Sign ▸ Add signature has a Scan tab: a phone photo of a signature on paper is framed automatically (all words; table, sheet edge and dust ignored; a sideways signature turned upright), the frame can be moved, resized or redrawn, the photo turned, and an ink-sensitivity slider picks up faint ink. A morphological paper estimate removes shadows and uneven light, and the trimmed ink is saved and reused like an image signature. Photos and images can also be dropped on the Image and Scan tabs. Photos keep the image-signature limits (#1124: a 4 MiB file, up to 32 megapixels decoded, scaled down to 4 megapixels), so a scan never processes more than 4 megapixels. `fill_sign_add` takes `scan` and `sensitivity`. Synthetic engine, UI and automation tests; checked by hand on real phone photos. Milestone and effort estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-12 (M10.5, hosted CI):** Integrated current main, including its date-table formatting and static-storage fixes. The Arabic synthetic drawing regression now checks the original serialized-output golden with and without the optional font face: the face-dependent FontName and FontFamily are checked separately and normalized only in the fixture. The hosted FreeBSD fingerprint is reproduced by those two metadata fields alone. Drawing bytes and all other fields retain the original golden; no printing behavior or readiness estimate changes.
- **2026-10-11 (M3, animation effects):** PdfCraft follows Windows' Settings ▸ Accessibility ▸ Visual effects ▸ Animation effects, and Preferences has its own Animation effects: Use system setting (the default), On or Off. With animation effects off, a wheel notch scrolls its whole distance, and Ctrl with the wheel zooms its whole step, in the frame it arrives. Both were eased over about a quarter of a second whatever the setting: egui spreads a coarse wheel step over later frames and has no switch for it, so `crates/ui-egui/src/motion.rs` reads each frame's wheel input the way egui does, minus the easing, and hands that to the scroll areas and the views (a test sums what egui eases and compares it with what is read at once, and fails if egui stops easing). egui's own animations (menus, sections, scrolling to a row) take no time, the chrome's hover and press washes are simply there, and the progress card's bar steps without its sweep. The desktop app asks WinRT's `UISettings.AnimationsEnabled` at launch and every two seconds of use, so a change applies without a restart. How far a notch scrolls or zooms is unchanged. The preference set to On or Off decides all of this whatever the system says; it is saved, set as `animation_effects` (`system`, `on`, `off`) on the control channel, and translated in all 20 catalogs. Not done: macOS (Reduce motion), Linux (GNOME's animations switch) and the browser (`prefers-reduced-motion`) aren't asked yet, so Use system setting animates there as before; Off works everywhere. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-11 (M10, gap 4):** The web build prints. Its Print dialog offers "Browser's print dialog" (the default there), which reaches every printer the operating system knows. PdfCraft draws the print-ready PDF's sheets itself with its own renderer, a sheet a frame because the web build has no threads: 300 dpi up to 100 sheets, 200 up to 300, 150 up to 1,000, at most 64 megapixels a sheet and 1 GiB of pictures a job. It then prints them from a hidden iframe, one sheet per printed page with no margin. A landscape sheet among portrait ones is turned onto the paper, as a driver does, because Chromium prints every page at the default `@page` size. Copies, two-sided and colour are set in the browser's dialog, so the dialog greys them out. If the browser refuses to print (a sandboxed frame, for example), the print-ready PDF downloads instead. Verified in headless Chromium: the right sheets at 300 dpi, the landscape sheet turned, no blank trailing page, and the download fallback. Not yet tested in Firefox or Safari. Gap 4 closed; rank 1 is 65–120 → 50–90 h; other estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-11 (M10.5):** Extracted printer discovery, options and PDF submission into craft-libs/craft-print, shared with DesignCraft. Windows preserves composed sheet size and orientation without fitting into default margins; duplex binding edges are corrected. PdfCraft retains permission checks and imposition. Shared transport and local composition, engine, automation and UI coverage validate the boundary; native Windows CI passes, including paused-queue submission and cleanup; physical printer fidelity remains a hardware check. Rust 1.95 is required by the shared crate. No readiness percentage change.
- **2026-10-11 (M10, #1028):** Recognize Text can read pages that already have text: "Also recognize pages that already have text" in the dialog (remembered with the other choices, and used by Recognize text in multiple files) and `skip_text_pages: false` on `ocr_recognize` and, newly, `ocr_recognize_files`. A picture on such a page becomes searchable, and a recognised word at least half covered by the page's own text (an earlier OCR layer included) is left out, so nothing is found twice; `ocr_recognize` reports how many were left out as `already_on_page`. Before, the option existed only for agents and added the page's text a second time. The default still skips pages with text. Synthetic tests (a picture of a sentence plus real text) cover the engine, the tool and the dialog, and fail with the filter turned off. Still missing: reading only the picture areas (the whole page is read, as for a scan). Separately, `recognize_text_makes_a_scanned_page_searchable` fails on main wherever the models are installed (the model reads "quick" as "auick"). Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-11 (M2, page-label prefixes):** The page-label readers bound the total size of decoded prefixes. Each range decodes its own prefix, and ranges may share one prefix object, so a small file could ask for a copy per range: within the 200,000-entry tree limit, about 200 MiB of copies of one 1,024-byte prefix. Inspection and Organize now refuse a tree whose decoded prefixes pass 4 MiB in total (`MAX_PREFIX_TOTAL_BYTES`), before any label is made, as the other tree limits do; relabelling such a tree changes nothing. Synthetic tests share one 1,000-byte prefix across 5,000 ranges and keep exactly 4 MiB of prefixes readable. Overall estimate unchanged.
- **2026-10-11 (UI, checkboxes and radio buttons):** Checkboxes no longer look like radio buttons, and on the light theme neither is invisible. With the theme's 6 px widget radius egui drew a checkbox's 14 px box as a circle, so View ▸ Page display's Continuous scrolling and Show cover page read as two more layout choices; on the light theme an unticked box or an unselected radio button was white on white with no edge. Every checkbox (81) and radio button (79) now goes through `widgets::checkbox` / `widgets::radio` / `widgets::radio_value`: a 1 px outline (darker on hover), the plain fill on the light theme as dialogs already had, and for checkboxes a rounded-square box (3 px), keeping what the caller set (dialogs, the search panel). `clippy.toml` disallows `ui.checkbox`, `ui.radio`, `ui.radio_value`, `egui::Checkbox` and `egui::RadioButton` so new ones use them too. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-11 (M13, #971):** `text_find` now bounds each page's temporary match-range list to the remaining result limit plus one, which is enough to detect and return a continuation without allocating every match on a dense page. Added limited-search coverage; the existing end-to-end continuation test passes. The text cache byte budget and per-page extraction warnings remain open.
- **2026-10-11 (M7, #594):** Ordinary paragraph body drags now use the existing source-preserving object translation path; edge drags still rewrap. An in-progress drag is discarded if the document generation changes, and added-content gestures keep their own edit handler. Added real-shell source regressions for overlapping and identical labels, history, save/reopen, partial overlap, kerning, rotation/crop/UserUnit and atomic refusal. Linux validation passed: focused UI/engine regressions, exact-base source-loss failures, native drag/undo/redo/save/reopen with independent Poppler renders, and all eight CI gates. Text replacement and resizing over unrelated overlapping content remain outside this repair. Estimates unchanged.

- **2026-10-10 (community, M7, Thai Add Text):** Optional craft-fonts Thai face (Noto Sans Thai) for the UI and shaped Add Text through the engine, CLI and MCP. Stacked marks and Sara Am are kept through Type 3 clusters with ToUnicode; regular style, and wrapping at cluster boundaries (no dictionary word segmentation). The craft-fonts pin for CI and releases moves to the revision with the Thai face. Forms and Fill & Sign are outside this change. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-11 (#995, #1077, permissions password after opening):** A PDF with only a permissions password opens without asking, restricted, and nothing let the user enter that password afterwards: the notice and the hint pointed at reopening with it. Now the security notice and Properties ▸ Security offer Unlock…, and Change settings / Remove security on a restricted document ask for the permissions password first and then carry on (as Acrobat does). The open password is refused there. `Session::unlock` upgrades the open document in place (owner and user passwords unlock the same file key, so nothing is re-read), unlocks the undo and redo states and reopens saves as owner; it is not an edit and doesn't mark the document unsaved. New command `protect.unlock`; the new strings are in all 15 full catalogs. Tests cover crypt, cos, engine (undo, redo, save, separate open password) and the UI. Still missing: an automation tool for it. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-11 (M14, #307 Plan 3):** Engine open and full refresh use one page/content traversal to populate marks and added content. The independent public scans remain available; the combined scanner borrows direct objects and holds referenced objects through `Arc<Object>` instead of cloning scan-only `/Contents` arrays or `/PCAdded` dictionaries. Differential tests cover an indirect `/PCAdded` dictionary as well as ordering, malformed/direct/indirect/repeated entries and `/UserUnit`. Exact `bbbe600`→final release CLI measurements used 10 alternating pairs: wall-time medians were 183.645→174.440 ms on 10,000 marker-free pages (10/10 wins), 33.587→32.752 ms on 1,500 mixed pages (8/10), and 24.331→20.133 ms on the 100,000-entry array stress fixture (10/10). The stress fixture's maximum-RSS median fell 28,655,616→19,038,208 B; peak-footprint medians were 14,747,136→14,673,408 B. From P0, the follow-up stress run was 20.886→20.201 ms (10/10), with RSS 23,953,408→19,087,360 B and peak footprint 14,706,144→14,697,952 B. `doc_open` stdout hashes matched every pair. The ancillary `organize` binding preserves the prior `prune_legacy` update condition. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-11 (M4, Organize overview):** Opening Organize pages from All tools, Home, the tool palette or `ui.set tool=organize` opens the thumbnail grid directly. Checkboxes toggle individual pages without modifier keys; page controls rotate either way or delete one page, while the toolbar acts on the selection. Portrait and landscape previews retain their aspect ratio. UI and control regressions cover entry, selection, single-page versus batch actions, undo, permissions and retaining the last page. Milestone and effort estimates unchanged.

- **2026-10-11 (M5, partial comment imports):** Replacing an editable named comment through XFDF or FDF (including an indirect name in the source PDF) preserves its object identity, so existing replies and review statuses remain attached after saving, reopening and exporting again. Replaced pop-ups are still removed. Locked comments, redaction marks and their pop-ups stay unchanged, including when their names are indirect; imported redactions remain visible. Synthetic round-trip tests cover both formats, incremental and full saves; milestone and effort estimates unchanged.

- **2026-10-15 (M9, #1895):** Preserve original signature artwork and show validation through a separate page overlay. Generic in-place appearance rewriting is deferred: neither a caption substring nor a unique drawing establishes an icon role. Signed regressions cover chamfered borders, mixed signer/caption text, image/text exports, both print modes and saves. Snapshot reuse and trust/cache refresh remain. Baked Not Verified captions are not replaced; #79 remains open. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-10 (M9, signature graphics):** A visible digital signature can show a graphic where the signer's name is large, as Acrobat's Configure Signature Appearance does: the saved Fill & Sign signature (drawn strokes smoothed as ink, typed outlines in the script font, or an image) or an imported PNG/JPEG. Sign as previews it and remembers the choice for the next signing; `sign_document` takes `graphic` (`image`, `text` or `strokes`). Graphics are checked and capped before drawing (non-finite or unbounded points, mismatched pixel buffers, oversized images are refused with an error the caller can act on); images keep their alpha as a soft mask. `sign.signature-appearance` stays partial (no named saved appearances or PDF-page graphics). Overall estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-11 (M14, absolute interface sizes):** A chosen Interface size is now absolute, as PhotoCraft's UI Scale is: "100%" is one screen pixel per point whatever scale the display reports, so on a 1080p screen whose system reports 200 % it draws at a true 100 % (#456, reported after the first change). Auto still keeps the display's scale and adds GNOME's text scaling, and its menu entry shows the size it draws at. The menu offers PhotoCraft's sizes (75–300 %).
- **2026-10-11 (automation, #971):** `text_find` reads pages in growing batches (8, doubling to 128) and stops once `limit` is reached, so a bounded search on a long document no longer extracts and caches every page first. Results say `complete`, and a capped one gives `next` (`start_page`, `skip`) to continue. Still open from #971: a byte budget for the automation text cache and per-page warnings for pages whose text can't be extracted.
- **2026-10-11 (M10, #773 integration):** Merged current upstream updates into the Word export fix and adopted the shared Windows symlink test setup. Word layout scope and estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-11 (M10, #773):** Word export no longer invents visible borders for tables inferred from text alignment. Rotated text, and pages where text overlaps an image or a watermark-sized text block, use positioned, editable shapes so invoice watermarks do not reserve body space (pages whose logo or title sits clear of the text keep flowing paragraphs, tables and inline images); source pages have separate sizes and section breaks. Synthetic export and automation regressions cover the invoice failure. Exact font matching, vector rules and general layout fidelity remain partial; estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-11 (docs, closed issues):** The progress docs caught up with issues closed on 2026-10-10: encrypted output opens in Acrobat (#774, #836; gap 1 closed, rank 0 is 32–55 h), Windows prints (#756, #847), column select (#740), 1:1 touchpad scrolling (#759), same-page multi-object move (#844), and the #799–#821 batch of wrong-result fixes including the #816 panic. Scores and readiness not re-judged; overall estimate unchanged.
- **2026-10-11 (M7, watermark placement):** A watermark can be moved from the page centre by a horizontal and a vertical offset in points: Add/Update Watermark has an "Offset from centre" row (the preview follows it, for text and for pictures) and `doc_watermark` takes `offset_x` and `offset_y`. A non-finite offset is refused instead of written into the page. `edit.watermark-appearance` stays partial: no offset from the page edge or in page units, no print/screen-only variants, no repeat. Image and PDF watermarks, already shipped, no longer appear as missing. The overall estimate is unchanged.
- **2026-10-11 (M12, XFA script time limits):** An XFA script's time limit (1 s for scripts that run unasked, on open and on every change) counted the engine's start-up too: the script's thread, a new context and, for the first script in a process, the engine's own set-up (≈ 60–170 ms when idle). On a busy machine a trivial initialize script could pass the limit, be abandoned and turn the form's scripts off; that made `xfa_buttons_run_their_scripts_in_the_app` and `messages_from_scripts_run_on_open_show_right_away` flaky (under full CPU load 25 of 40 runs of the test binary failed, with "ran longer than 1.0 s and was abandoned" in the console). The limit now runs from when the engine is ready; start-up has its own 10 s cap, so nothing waits forever, and a trivial warm-up script takes the first-in-process set-up. Under the same load none of 40 runs fails, and runaway scripts are abandoned as before. The two UI tests print the script console when they fail. Overall unchanged.
- **2026-10-11 (M4, #569):** Combine files takes images and text files as well as PDFs. PNG, JPEG, TIFF, GIF, BMP, JPEG 2000 and .txt files become PDFs as they are added (Add files…, drops, folder scans), so each is an ordinary row with its pages, thumbnails and page range; a file that can't be read (a damaged image or PDF, a type that can't be converted) stays in the list with why in its Warnings, and Combine asks before leaving such files out (Cancel changes nothing); password-protected files still have to be unlocked first. `doc_combine` accepts the same types, and a converted file's bookmark drops its extension. A PNG whose header claims more than 2 GiB of pixels is now refused before its buffer is allocated (the png crate's limits don't cover it), as TIFF already was. Office documents and HTML are still not converted. Overall estimate unchanged.
- **2026-10-11 (M3, Windows renderer startup):** Renderer-creation GPU errors return through the existing scoped handler so Auto startup can use the existing OpenGL fallback. A real-device invalid/valid pipeline regression covers error propagation and device reuse; the independent Windows hostile-argument fixture reports unavailable symbolic-link privileges. The underlying x86 DX12 compiler error remains unresolved; see `docs/windows-renderer-startup.md`. Milestone and effort estimates unchanged.

- **2026-10-11 (M6):** Existing simple field-font encodings and Differences are respected when generating appearances; an unencodable value uses a separate Helvetica appearance font without changing the source font. Synthetic reopen regressions cover punctuation, subset fallback and multiline text. Exact font metrics/layout and broader Unicode fallback remain incomplete. Estimates unchanged.

- **2026-10-11 (M6):** Tab and Shift-Tab wrapping to the same field or another widget of that field refresh the newly opened editor from the accepted value before Save. Synthetic UI regressions cover both directions, same-frame Save, validation refusal and undo/redo. Estimates unchanged.

- **2026-10-11 (M13):** CLI run and MCP reject missing, empty, repeated and option-valued --root arguments before any tool/script execution or MCP initialization. A single-hyphen directory name remains valid; synthetic CLI regressions preserve a would-be overwritten file. Estimates unchanged.

- **2026-10-11 (M14, #307, Plan 2):** Forms now return terminal fields and the page-widget adoption count from one enumeration, and engine open reuses that result while retaining XFA script-button marking. The 12,000-page/no-form PDF (1,442,052 bytes) and 2,500-orphan-widget PDF (673,432 bytes) produce byte-identical `doc_open`/`doc_info` outputs against upstream `33c14e07cfd742a82bf03baa6b103c01008fa68c`, including the orphan repair note. After one warm-up per binary and three interleaved base/candidate rounds, median open times were 0.16/0.15 s and 0.08/0.07 s, with median peak RSS 62.69/59.98 MiB and 33.28/32.20 MiB. Workspace tests, Clippy, formatting, focused forms/engine/organize tests, and the WASM check pass. A behavior-preserving local binding in `organize` also lets the workspace Clippy gate pass. No estimate change.
- **2026-10-11 (M14, Traditional Chinese semantics):** Corrected accessibility pass/fail labels, the inverted script-accessibility rule, Taiwan row/column terminology and form choice/read-only labels; added the missing table-row explanation. Catalog regressions cover the rule metadata and preserve field names. Milestone and effort estimates unchanged.


- **2026-10-11 (M14, no silent `?`):** Text PdfCraft's fonts can't draw (Chinese, Greek, Czech's ř in Helvetica) is never written into a PDF as `?` without a word. Form values and button captions, text boxes, callouts, Fill & Sign text, measurement labels and dynamic stamps' by-lines are kept as typed, as Acrobat keeps them: the appearance draws `?` there, the annotation is marked (`PCUndrawn`), and the edit says so (the interface shows a translated notice; tools return `warnings`). A form also sets `/NeedAppearances`, so other viewers redraw the field from its value (not in a PDF/A document, which forbids it); a restyle doesn't replace a comment another program drew with those characters. Where `?` would be permanent, the edit is refused with the character and what to do instead: flattening what PdfCraft drew with `?`, redaction overlay text (also checked before anything is redacted), typed signatures through `fill_sign_add`, visible signature details, and new documents from text (with the line). Reports PdfCraft writes from documents (comment summaries, compare reports) write such characters as `[U+XXXX]` and say so; a dynamic XFA form's own text is laid out and reported. One end-to-end test drives every path through the tools. Not yet: drawing those characters (embedding a font that has them). Overall estimate unchanged.
- **2026-10-10 (M14, interface size):** Preferences ▸ Interface size scales the whole interface (50–250 %, setting `ui_scale`, control option `ui-scale`); 50 % brings an interface the system draws at 200 % back to 100 % (#456). Auto, the default, follows the desktop's text scaling: on Linux and the BSDs the desktop app reads GNOME's `text-scaling-factor` once at launch, so with Large Text (1.25) on a 1× display the interface no longer draws 13 px labels that show their pixels next to the system's text. The size is egui's zoom factor, so `pixels_per_point` grows with it and page rasters stay one texel per screen pixel; egui's own ⌘+/⌘− interface zoom is turned off so those keys stay page zoom. Still missing: KDE's font DPI and Windows' "Make text bigger" aren't read (both scale only text there), and egui's text is still greyscale-antialiased without the system's gamma, so small text looks rougher than GTK's at 100 %.
- **2026-10-10 (M14, #496):** Shortcut displays share a UI formatter across toolbar search, registry menus, command palette, Help and tooltips. Modifier and key names use a dedicated catalog context in every bundled translation; missing entries keep the English key name rather than a command translation. German shows Strg/Umschalt/Entf, macOS retains its symbols, and runtime language changes refresh the display. Regression coverage checks localized layout widths, English/German switching, platform conventions and unchanged command execution. Milestone and effort estimates unchanged.

- **2026-10-10 (M5, shape fill colour, #686):** Rectangles, ovals, polygons and clouds can be filled. The comment quick bar has a Fill colour control for those tools ("No fill" or a swatch; it persists with the other per-tool styles), Comment Properties ▸ Appearance has a Fill colour row (one undo step with the other changes, carried over by Make Current Properties Default), and `comment_edit` takes `fill` (`"none"` removes it). `pdfcraft-annot::set_fill` writes or removes `/IC` and redraws the appearance; lines, ink and locked comments refuse it. Still missing: a custom colour picker (only the comment palette), and a separate fill for line endings.
- **2026-10-10 (M10, #645):** Export all images and Save image as keep transparency. A JPEG with a soft mask (the usual cut-out photo) was written as the bare JPEG, and soft masks of another size than the image, JPEG-compressed soft masks, stencil `/Mask` images and colour-key `/Mask` arrays were dropped, so cut-outs came out on solid white or black. These images are now PNG with the mask as alpha (soft masks scaled to the image, `/Matte` un-blended); JPEGs without transparency are still written byte for byte. A negative image size no longer overflows in Save image as. JPX/JBIG2/CCITT masks are still left out. Overall estimate unchanged (about 30–35%).
- **2026-10-10 (M12, XFA rows and areas):** Dynamic XFA forms lay out a repeating subform inside a top-to-bottom container in positioned content (a table in an area) with all its instances, drawn and measured, instead of one; and areas no longer appear in data paths (`pdfcraft_xfa::data_path`), since they are not data scopes. Before, a form whose fields sit in an area read none of the values Adobe's viewers saved, wrote what was filled here under a new element named after the area, which Adobe's viewers would most likely not read, and a FormCalc total looping over the table's rows failed on the rows that were missing. Layout, the script tree, reading and writing the data and the engine's value and row operations share the one path rule. Synthetic tests cover the layout, the path rule and the whole round trip (rows, Adobe-written values, a FormCalc total over all rows, the written data, reopening). Still open for such forms: XFA script objects (`<variables><script>`), which aren't supported. Overall estimate unchanged (about 30–35%).

- **2026-10-11 (M10, Windows printing follow-up to #847):** Windows print jobs print each sheet at 100% on the driver's paper closest to the sheet's size, landscape for wide sheets; they had been shrunk into .NET's default 1-inch margins (about 76% on Letter) and not rotated. Sheets are capped at about 64 megapixels so a poster-sized sheet can't exhaust memory. PowerShell runs without a console window, and the Print dialog lists printers and spools jobs off the UI thread (the desktop app's `printer_source`), so neither Ctrl+P nor a long job freezes the app. Kittest regression for the background printer list; the Windows rendering path is still checked only by the Windows CI job. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-10 (M3, System appearance completion, #446/#881):** The Linux portal introduced by #881 now uses the standard numeric appearance setting and event-driven updates, with idle-window wakeups for initial and changed results. When that setting states no preference it falls back to the GNOME schema's `color-scheme`, which XFCE's portal answers instead. Native windows retain inherited appearance and both egui style branches use the selected palette. Manual choices and the Light default remain; unknown System appearance resolves to Light. Controlled protocol and UI checks cover the remaining gaps; the supplied EndeavourOS/GNOME report has not been reproduced on that desktop. Estimates unchanged.

- **2026-10-10 (M9, #179 follow-up):** A Windows store certificate that can't sign is no longer left out of the Sign dialog silently: `windows::list` names it with the reason and Windows error code (no private key, a P-521/Brainpool/Ed25519 key, a key CNG can't open), the picker shows it greyed and unselectable, and `sign_windows_ids` returns it under `unusable`. A key that needs a permission prompt to open is listed instead of skipped. Reported by a user whose CA-issued identity showed in Acrobat but not here; a plain .p12 import into the CNG and legacy Microsoft providers was verified to list, so the next report will carry the reason. Store test adds a key-less certificate; overall estimate unchanged (about 30–35%).
- **2026-10-10 (M10.2, JPEG scanning follow-up to #729):** Skip marker fill bytes and keep reading JFIF, APP14 and ICC metadata after the frame header, stopping before scan data or at EOI. Invalid segment lengths return errors; damaged or mismatched ICC profiles retain #729's device-space fallback. Synthetic regression cases added but not run at the contributor's request. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-10 (M13, desktop action outputs):** Desktop Action Wizard keeps every result when input basenames repeat, or when the destination already has a result from an earlier run. It preserves the original filename and extension for a free name and adds numbered suffixes for occupied names; the bounded search returns an error rather than reusing an occupied path. A real-shell regression drives Start twice and reopens the three-page and one-page results, checking that the original inputs and earlier output remain intact. This covers the desktop writer separately from the CLI/MCP action_run repair in #877. Milestone and effort estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-10 (L Print, #756):** Windows prints. The Print dialog lists the system's printers and its default from `Win32_Printer` (through PowerShell's CIM; `wmic` is gone from Windows 11), and Print spools the print-ready PDF: the in-box Windows.Data.Pdf renders each sheet at the printer's own resolution and System.Drawing.Printing carries copies, collation, duplex and colour as the job's settings — both reached through `powershell`, so the Rust code touches no Win32 API and the machine needs no PDF reader. This closes #756 and the "printer not showing" duplicates #160, #244, #293, #465 and #644, using the CIM approach community-tested in #452; the tests render the job's sheets through the whole WinRT path on CI (dry run, no printer needed) and, where a printer can be added, catch a real job in its paused queue. Web printing is still missing; milestone and effort estimates are unchanged.

- **2026-10-10 (M3, #740):** Column select, as in Acrobat: holding Alt (Option on macOS) when a drag starts selects only the text inside the rectangle, with the Select tool, the text markup tools and Redact; Edit ▸ Column select does it with a plain drag, for Linux desktops whose window manager takes Alt-drag (Xfce, Cinnamon, MATE, KDE Plasma 5 by default). Copy gives rows top to bottom with tab-separated cells (right to left in right-to-left rows, reading order for vertical text); `text_extract` takes the same rectangle as `rect`. The new label is in all 15 catalogs. Also repaired `parity/acrobat-features.toml`, which #650 had left unparseable (duplicate keys on `form.field-list`). Still missing: column selection across pages and ⇧-click extension. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-10 (progress docs, hours per audience):** Each readiness number gets its own hours to ≈ 95%: full ≈ 49% / 780–1,400 h, mainstream ≈ 55% / 500–900 h, essentials ≈ 66% / 180–330 h. The full number is now the standard's additive weighted sum over the dimensions (written weights), 47% → 49%: method aligned with the standard, no new evidence. Beta ≈ 26 points, ≈ 400–700 h.
- **2026-10-10 (progress docs, gate consistency check):** Re-judged the convert-and-share row with the rule applied across all Crafting Apps (a workflow blocks only when it can't be completed at all; lossy exchange and missing sub-cases are beta items, as for FilmCraft's .prproj or VectorCraft's .ai). Unencrypted sharing works, encryption interop (#774) and Office→PDF are sub-cases, Word export is lossy rather than absent: partial, not blocking. **Stage pre-alpha → alpha**; numbers unchanged (47%, mainstream 55%; beta ≈ 400–700 h). Added an essentials-user score: ≈ 66% for someone who only opens, reads, comments, fills, signs, prints and rearranges pages.
- **2026-10-10 (progress docs, second look and alpha gate):** At the owner's request, after practitioners praised PdfCraft, re-examined the numbers. User sentiment: 7,595 stars, 177k + 39k downloads of 0.4.0/0.5.0, 23 user issues with explicit praise and switching reports (#179, #232, #273), issue themes concentrated in core paths (launch/GPU, rendering, editing, CJK, signing, printing). The checklist is not niche-dominated (497 mainstream vs 311 specialist rows; P0 95% / 91%). The first pass's 9-point cross-cutting deduction double-counted Windows printing, interop and glyphs: **ready for real work 40% → 47%**, and **≈ 55% for the mainstream practitioner** (new). The new core-workflow gate (craftrules progress-docs) fails on convert and share (#774, no Office import, #773): **stage alpha → pre-alpha**, ≈ 40–70 h from alpha; beta still ≈ 400–700 h.
- **2026-10-10 (progress docs, full re-measure):** Re-measured against Acrobat Pro 26.002.21931 (installed bundle inspected: document types, localizations, plug-in and framework names). Checklist: 423 shipped + 74 partial of 808 (56.9%; P0 94.2%), ≈ 67% tier-weighted. Ready for real work ≈ 40%; stage **alpha**; ≈ 400–700 h to beta, ≈ 780–1,400 h to full parity (up from 600–1,100 h: the first public releases surfaced Acrobat interop of encrypted output, Windows printing, Chinese UI glyphs, Word-export layout and a 245-issue backlog). This file restructured to the craftrules progress-docs standard; the honest assessment moved to `docs/target-app-parity.md`, the gap list to `docs/gaps.md`, the milestones (duplicated rows merged) to `docs/roadmap.md`; new `docs/architecture.md`, `docs/localization-parity.md`, `docs/file-format-parity.md`, `docs/pdf-spec-parity.md`, `docs/ui-parity.md`, `docs/hardware-parity.md`.
- **2026-10-10 (M8, redact word lists):** Find text and redact gains "Multiple words or phrases": a list with one word or phrase per line, typed or imported from a `.txt` file, whose every match is marked in one undo step. Lists are trimmed, deduplicated and bounded (1,000 entries of 256 characters, files up to 1 MB). `redact_mark` takes `words` and reports how many marks each made, so an agent sees which found nothing. Tests cover the list parsing, the tool end to end (mark, undo, apply, invalid lists) and the dialog with an imported list; the new labels are translated in all 13 UI catalogs. `protect.redact-word-lists` is shipped; whole-word and case-sensitive matching and exporting the list are still missing. Estimates unchanged (about 30–35%).
- **2026-10-10 (M4, bookmarks from structure):** Bookmark options ▸ New bookmarks from structure (command `bookmark.from_structure`, tool `bookmark_from_structure`) turns a tagged document's headings into bookmarks: H1–H6 through the role map, a plain H by its section nesting, nested by level under a new first "Untitled" bookmark as in Acrobat, each linked to its structure element (/SE). Titles come from /ActualText, the marked text on the page (decoded through the font's ToUnicode or encoding), /Alt or /T. The walk is bounded (depth, visits, heading and title caps, cycle-safe), an untagged document gets a clear error, and the edit is one undo step. Tests cover role maps, nesting, ToUnicode text, a self-referencing heading, the tool, undo and the panel. Still missing: Acrobat's element-type choice and destinations at the heading's position. The M4 row no longer lists Replace pages as missing (it shipped earlier). Overall estimate unchanged (about 30–35%).
- **2026-10-10 (M9, signing encrypted documents):** Digital signatures, certification and document timestamps work on password-protected PDFs instead of failing with "not supported: signing encrypted documents". `pdfcraft-cos` no longer encrypts or decrypts a signature dictionary's `/Contents` (§7.6.2; by `/Type /Sig|/DocTimeStamp` or `/Contents` + `/ByteRange`), so the placeholder is patched after hashing as in a plain file and existing signatures in encrypted files read their real CMS (which also fixes their DSS `/VRI` keys and keeps them intact in a full rewrite). Opened with the user password, the signer applies the document's permissions (fill-forms for existing fields and timestamps, annotate + modify for new fields, modify for certifying) and names the permissions password when it refuses. Synthetic tests cover all four algorithms, counter-signing, tampering, permissions and the automation tools. Overall estimate unchanged (about 30–35%).
- **2026-10-10 (M9, signer certificate usage):** A trusted signer's certificate must also allow signing documents (RFC 5280 §4.2.1.3, §4.2.1.12, §4.2). A key usage without digitalSignature or nonRepudiation, an extended key usage with no document-signing purpose (any, emailProtection, codeSigning, RFC 9336 documentSigning, Adobe Authentic Documents, Microsoft document signing), or a critical extension PdfCraft doesn't process makes the verdict Unknown instead of Valid, and the details say which. Certificate policies are accepted as any policy. In-process certificates test each refusal and the accepted cases; a signed PDF from a trusted TLS-server certificate was Valid before and is Unknown now. Still missing: name constraints, and unknown critical extensions on issuer certificates. Overall estimate unchanged (about 30–35%).
- **2026-10-10 (M14, side panel width):** The side panel keeps the width it is dragged to. The Bookmarks search row was 2 px wider than the panel, and a resizable egui panel keeps the width its content used, so every repaint (any pointer move) widened it up to 520 px. The Comments reply row did the same in languages with a longer "Post" (Russian, Spanish, …); Post now sits under a full-width reply field. Tests hold both panels' widths steady across 30 repaints. Overall estimate unchanged (about 30–35%).
- **2026-10-10 (M8):** Redaction codes. Redaction properties offers "Custom text" or "Redaction code" under "Use overlay text": pick the U.S. FOIA (5 U.S.C. 552(b)) or U.S. Privacy Act (552a) set and tick codes, and new marks carry them as overlay text in the set's order ("(b)(6), (b)(7)(C)"). `redact_mark` takes `code_set` and `codes`, rejecting unknown sets and codes with the allowed list. Tests cover the code sets, the tool end to end (mark, apply, text) and the dialog; the new label is translated in all 13 UI catalogs. `protect.redaction-codes` is partial: Edit Codes, custom sets and their import/export are still missing. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-10 (M14, platform shortcut labels):** View ▸ Zoom and Page navigation, the rail, find-bar, toolbar and bookmark tooltips, and Help ▸ Keyboard shortcuts write shortcuts for the platform (`Ctrl+1`, `Ctrl+Shift++` off macOS) instead of hard-coded ⌘. Labels follow egui's detected OS, so the web build in a Linux or Windows browser shows Ctrl too. Fit visible is listed once in View. Translated tooltips take a `{key}` placeholder. Overall estimate unchanged (about 30–35%).
- **2026-10-10 (M14):** Arabic interface language: a 2,137-entry catalog (`ar.tsv`, six CLDR plural forms, Arabic month and weekday names for dates), selected by `ar` and every `ar-*` locale. egui joins Arabic letters but places words left to right, so the catalog is put into display order when it loads (`bidi::display_rtl`: placeholders, keyboard shortcuts, edge spaces and caption colons are kept in place), and the command search matches a multi-word Arabic query word by word. Arabic glyphs come from the craft-fonts `Arab` face (kept in the web build); the CI and release pin of craft-fonts moves to the revision that has it, and `crates/fonts/build.rs` now refuses to embed the Noto Sans CJK SC that revision also carries (AGENTS.md §1.1). Not done: the layout is not mirrored, a wrapped Arabic paragraph breaks at the wrong end, and text typed into fields is not reordered; these need bidi support in the text layout itself.
- **2026-10-10 (M6, #95):** Prepare a form edits shared General, Appearance and applicable Options properties in one atomic undo step. Explicit opt-in controls keep mixed values unchanged; partial appearance patches preserve custom font resources, each widget's style, indirect dictionary contents and unknown keys. Ctrl/Command+A selects the current page; rectangle selection and the Fields panel support multi-selection, with panel double-click opening properties. CLI/MCP `form_set_props` accepts a bounded, unique `fields` list. Regression tests cover save/reopen, undo/redo, locked-field rollback, stale dialogs, invalid arguments and selection. Names, positions, choices/defaults and script tabs remain individual GUI edits. Integrated upstream 0.5.0 and completed Portuguese/Italian catalogs without losing translator credit; shared-property labels now cover all 14 bundled translations. Kept the new Italian interface and Fill & Sign date-language registries aligned, including accented date output; the About-dialog regression waits for the larger contributor list to settle before clicking. Milestone and overall effort estimates unchanged (about 30–35%).
- **2026-10-09 (M5, line-ending labels):** Comment properties names each line ending in words ("Reverse open arrow", "Butt", …) and those labels are translated. The PDF `/LE` token is unchanged. Overall estimate unchanged (about 30–35%).
- **2026-10-09 (M3, #171):** A browser startup `?file=` download opens in a background tab once the user has started working, so it cannot switch the active document or the next Save. Deliberate opens still activate their tab; Home, Combine files, workspace choices and another file's password prompt are preserved. Initial-view geometry is applied to the background document, and its script notices wait until its tab is selected. Synthetic shell tests cover the race, saving the local edit, tab switching, encrypted arrivals, errors and converted text. Milestone and overall effort estimates unchanged (about 30–35%).
- **2026-10-09 (never-crash, #378):** On Windows the window is drawn on the GPU that drives the primary display, as on Linux: `EnumDisplayDevices` (through the safe `winsafe` crate) says which adapter shows each desktop display, and `pick_adapter` matches it to the wgpu adapters by PCI ids. Before, the low-power preference chose a Ryzen integrated GPU with no monitor on a desktop whose monitors hang off an NVIDIA card, and presenting across adapters took the AMD display driver down for two minutes. The log now names the GPU chosen. Synthetic tests for the Windows device-id parser and the primary-display rule; a live test on the running machine. Overall unchanged.
- **2026-10-09 (page preview resolution):** The page view draws whole pages at twice the screen density when that bitmap still fits, then filters it down, so type and fine lines keep more detail. Print preview, page thumbnails, alternate-text figures and the page behind a moving signature are rendered at the size they are shown instead of being stretched up from a small image. Milestone and effort estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-09 (M5, line endings):** Lines, connected lines and callouts draw all ten standard line-ending styles. `comment_add` accepts `endings`, and Comment properties can change them in one undo step. An unknown name is left undrawn, and a non-finite direction is rejected. Cloudy borders remain polygon-only, so `comment.line-endings` stays partial. Overall estimate unchanged (about 30–35%).
- **2026-10-09 (M6, field rotation):** Regenerated form appearances honour `/MK /R` (0, 90, 180, 270). Filling or restyling a rotated field keeps the text, check mark and button caption turned, and Field Properties ▸ Position and `form_set_props` `rotation` set it, swapping width and height around the field's center when the axis changes. `form.appearance-regeneration` stays partial (Helvetica metrics are still approximate). Overall estimate unchanged (about 30–35%).
- **2026-10-09 (M2, JPX sample normalization):** JPEG 2000 rescaling uses bounded integer arithmetic for supported 1–32-bit samples, including the 32-bit boundary that previously shifted past the integer width. Zero-sized rows are refused before scaling. Small contributor-original codestreams exercise decoding and rendering; endpoint and standard-depth regressions cover the same helper. Overall estimate unchanged (about 30–35%).
- **2026-10-09 (M14, #577):** The desktop GPU setup enables the selected adapter's supported 2D texture extent instead of egui-wgpu's fixed 8192-pixel extent. This removes the artificial surface ceiling behind a mixed-DPI Windows startup crash when opening Outlook PDF attachments. Synthetic regressions cover the observed 8600 × 3423 surface, downlevel adapters and preservation of other device limits. Hardware resolution limits still apply; milestone and overall effort estimates are unchanged.
- **2026-10-09 (M14, #577 follow-up):** A window larger than the GPU's texture limit no longer closes PdfCraft. Vendored egui-wgpu 0.36.2 fits the window's surface within `max_texture_dimension_2d` and draws egui at the matching scale, on every path that sizes a surface (start-up restore, resize, maximise, DPI change, a recreated surface); upstream is emilk/egui#8361. Root cause of the Outlook-only trigger: winit creates the window on the launching app's monitor and converts the restored size at that monitor's scale. Unit tests cover the 8600 × 3423 case and edge sizes; a Windows Sandbox (WARP) run of a window one pixel over the limit panicked before and kept drawing after. Estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-09 (M14, #519):** A GPU that can't configure the window's surface at launch no longer panics, so PdfCraft's OpenGL retry runs. Vendored egui-wgpu configures a new window's surface inside wgpu error scopes (`winit::catch_errors`) and returns a failure as an error, so eframe returns `Error::Wgpu` and the existing OpenGL retry (#530) runs (a device lost during that configure still panics, on the first frame). Before, wgpu's default handler panicked: on a 2015 Intel GPU with no D3D12 driver wgpu picked the GL adapter over WARP and timed out in `Surface::configure` (`GpuWaitTimeout`). A real-device regression test (a wgpu validation error inside `catch_errors`) panicked with the scopes removed; in Windows Sandbox a forced configure failure panicked unpatched and retried with OpenGL patched (Sandbox has no OpenGL 2.0, so the OpenGL window itself was not shown there). Defaulting Windows to DX12 only (WARP instead of wgpu's GL backend) is left to the maintainers. Overall estimate unchanged (about 30–35%).
- **2026-10-09 (M5, Fill & Sign flatten on save):** Preferences and `doc_save` can bake Fill & Sign text, marks and signatures into the page when saving. The option defaults off. Other comments and form fields stay, a second flatten does not reuse an XObject name already on the page, and a document that cannot be changed is left unwritten. Overall estimate unchanged (about 30–35%).
- **2026-10-09 (M3.9, native control lifecycle):** The opt-in UI control channel can request bounded window sizes, report observed dimensions, focus accessible widgets and inspect actual keyboard focus. Graceful quit uses the existing unsaved-work prompt, including uncommitted typing; force/discard parameters are rejected. Tests cover resize validation, Tab/Shift-Tab traversal, keyboard activation, invalid focus targets and quit cancellation with retained edits. Focused buttons preserve document undo/redo shortcuts, while text editors keep their own undo history. No milestone percentage change.

- **2026-10-09 (UI.5, shared tab interaction):** Document and Combine tabs use revision-pinned `craft-ui` interaction, with accessible tab roles, selected state, keyboard activation and a theme-colored focus outline. Document IDs keep tab identity stable through dirty-label changes and earlier-tab removal. Existing labels, painting, horizontal scrolling and close requests stay in the frontend. No milestone percentage change.

- **2026-10-09 (UI.2, shared icon buttons):** The frontend uses revision-pinned `craft-ui` for its SVG catalog and square icon buttons. Existing assets, fallback cache keys, dark/light colors, tool labels and commands remain app-owned. Buttons gain a visible keyboard-focus outline; the layer checker keeps the shared dependency at L7. No milestone percentage change.

- **2026-10-09 (M5.7, #434 partial):** Natural-size image stamps placed at a click or through `stamp_custom` remain upright on rotated pages, with a displayed-space-sized rectangle and a counterrotated standard appearance matrix. Move, resize, restyle and undo/redo preserve that orientation. Native and external Poppler save/reopen rendering cover all four quarter-turns; UI tests verify the displayed bounds. Explicit rectangle placement, image signatures, PDF-page stamps and image-file orientation metadata remain outside this repair. #434 stays open; milestone table and effort estimates remain unchanged.
- **2026-10-09 (M1, raw-stream decoding limits):** COS checks unfiltered decoded data against the caller and per-stream limits before copying it, including empty filter arrays and streams whose Crypt filter was applied on load. Strict decoding uses the same raw-data guard. Tiny synthetic regressions cover exceeded, exact and zero-byte limits while retaining the filtered decoder behavior. Milestone and overall effort estimates unchanged (about 30–35%).
- **2026-10-09 (community, M7, Hebrew in Edit text):** Editing existing Hebrew text showed it reversed (`בדיוק` read back letter-reversed) and wrote replacement boxes on save. Content streams draw right-to-left lines in visual order; Edit text now reads lines and paragraphs in typing order and writes them back in drawing order (`pdfcraft-edit::bidi`, UAX #9 through `unicode-bidi`, with numbers, Latin and mirrored brackets; where visual order allows several readings, the one that draws back exactly and pairs its brackets wins). Right-to-left paragraphs are right-aligned unless an alignment is chosen, and a single line keeps its right edge as it grows. Letters the page's font lacks are drawn with a craft-fonts `Hebr` face (Noto Sans Hebrew, storytold/craft-fonts PR) as Type 3 glyphs with ToUnicode, so the result is searchable; the interface uses that face too, and the web build keeps it. Without it, a clear error and no change. `edit.rtl-cjk-editing` moves to partial. Not yet: niqqud in replacement text (refused, not misdrawn), Arabic in Edit text (shaping; Add text has it since #403), typing right to left in the box (#437), lines drawn word by word from the right; the release craft-fonts pin must move to a revision with the Hebrew face. Overall estimate unchanged (about 30–35%).
- **2026-10-09 (M2, bounded page labels):** Inspector number trees have shared work, depth, and cycle limits; prefixes are bounded before decoding and complete custom labels have per-label and aggregate UTF-8 byte caps. A refused tree leaves physical page numbers intact and records one warning, with custom labels applied only after every range succeeds. Pure COS Roman and repeated-letter formatters are shared with Organize; label queries and edits return errors for unsupported output before changing the stored tree, while ordinary labels and prefix-only ranges remain supported. Synthetic tests cover safe just-over-limit cases, large first numbers, aliases, cycles, wide/deep trees, UTF-16/UTF-8 boundaries, aggregate output, and unchanged refused edits. Milestone and overall effort estimates unchanged (about 30–35%).
- **2026-10-09 (M4, page grid zoom):** The Organize page grid zooms from 50% to 300%: toolbar buttons with a percentage that resets, trackpad pinch or Ctrl/⌘ + wheel about the page under the pointer, and ⌘+ / ⌘− / ⌘0. Pages drawn larger than their thumbnails are rendered at the size drawn while in view, so text stays sharp in documents of any length. Not yet: a slider, remembering the size, a size control for the Pages panel. Overall estimate unchanged (about 30–35%).
- **2026-10-09 (M7, grouped artwork):** Edit text/images selects page-drawn Form XObjects as whole figures, including nested raster/vector/text content. Their BBox and optional Matrix determine the selection; move/resize/rotate/flip/delete rewrite only the selected page placement, preserving shared Forms and other placements. Engine, automation and UI core regressions cover geometry, rendered movement, save/reopen, undo and selection/drag/Delete. Bitmap replacement/extraction remain raster-only; inline images and individual elements inside a Form are not editable through this tool. Overall estimate unchanged (about 30–35%).
- **2026-10-09 (M9, review of #144):** Chain building checks what an issuer may do. `x509::build_chain` linked certificates by name and signature only, so an ordinary subscriber certificate embedded in a PDF, or one in the trusted list, could "issue" a certificate for any identity and chain to a trusted root. An issuer now needs basicConstraints CA:TRUE (an old v1 self-signed root without constraints still anchors), keyCertSign when it has a key usage, a pathLenConstraint that allows the CAs below it, and validity at the signing time (or the trusted timestamp/token time) when known; the signature's details say why an issuer was refused. Negative tests issue certificates in-process and cover each refusal, plus a signed PDF whose signer chains through an end-entity certificate (Unknown, not Valid). Still missing: key usage and extended key usage of the signer, name constraints and unknown critical extensions. Overall estimate unchanged (about 30–35%).
- **2026-10-09 (M9):** A document timestamp stored as a signature field (Documenso writes `Timestamp_1` that way, its `/V` a `/Type /DocTimeStamp` dictionary) was read as a CMS signature and reported "altered or corrupted since the signature was applied" on an untouched file. A field value with `/SubFilter /ETSI.RFC3161` is validated as a timestamp now, and standalone timestamps are found by `/DocTimeStamp` (ISO 32000-2 §12.8.5) as well as the `/Type /Sig` older writers used; `timestamp_document` writes `/DocTimeStamp`. Regression tests build the same structure with a test TSA. Overall estimate unchanged (about 30–35%).
- **2026-10-09 (M9, signatures as DocuSign and Documenso write them, #144):** A real DocuSign + Telekom qualified-signature PDF showed "DER signature wrong" although Acrobat validates it: both CMS blobs use BER indefinite lengths. The CMS is read with the BER reader that #453 added (`Tlv::parse_ber`: indefinite lengths, segmented OCTET STRINGs, depth-bounded) while certificates and signed attributes are still verified over their own exact bytes, and the details say the signature was BER; tests build the nesting bombs a crafted /Contents could hold. Behind that, later revisions that add DSS data (indirect `/Certs`, `/VRI`) or rewrite the catalog's XMP were classified as disallowed changes; they are permitted now, narrowly (review by echelon on #144): only objects reached through `/DSS` `/Certs|CRLs|OCSPs|VRI` with the shape of their role, and new or only grown since signing, count as the store, and only the catalog's `/Metadata` is the document's XMP. A `/DSS` entry naming a page's contents, or a `/Type /DSS` or `/Type /Metadata` label on an existing dictionary or stream, makes nothing permitted. Six of the new tests fail on the previous code, among them a Form XObject labelled `/Type /Metadata` before signing that could be rewritten under a Valid signature. Negative tests at every DocMDP level. Cross-checked with pdfsig (both signatures valid). Still missing: AATL/EUTL trust lists (a separate change: they need CA-constraint checks in chain building first). Overall estimate unchanged (about 30–35%).
- **2026-10-09 (M9, signature algorithms, #386):** Validation reads what real signers write. Digests SHA-224, SHA-512/224, SHA-512/256, SHA3-224/256/384/512 and RIPEMD-160 (beside SHA-1/2); RSA PKCS#1 with or without the DigestInfo's NULL (checked by building the one expected encoding and comparing it byte for byte, in `rsa_pad`, for every digest; a bare digest without any DigestInfo is refused, it doesn't say which hash it uses); RSA-PSS with the hash, MGF1 hash and salt length the signature declares; ECDSA as DER, non-minimal DER or raw r‖s on P-256, P-384, P-521 and brainpoolP256r1/P384r1/P512r1 (the last hand-written on `crypto-bigint`, no RustCrypto crate exists); Ed25519 (RFC 8419); the legacy `adbe.x509.rsa_sha1` format. Algorithms PdfCraft can't check give Unknown instead of Invalid. Review of #386 (echelon): an RSA signature value must be below the modulus (RFC 8017 §5.2.2; `s` and `s + n` both verified before), and SHA-1 and RIPEMD-160 signatures still validate but the signature's details now say the algorithm is weak (wording pinned by tests). Found on the way, each with a regression test that failed first: a brainpoolP512r1 key with a coordinate not reduced modulo p panicked inside the bigint arithmetic (the certificate comes from the PDF), now refused, and the point at infinity is an invalid signature rather than an error. Tolerated encodings are listed in the signature's details. Vectors made with OpenSSL; cross-checked with pdfsig. Still missing: Ed448/DSA, signing with the new digests. Overall estimate unchanged (about 30–35%).
- **2026-10-09 (M14, German interface follow-up):** Follow the merged German catalog with shorter search/action labels, corrected callout/accessibility wording and a distinct certificate Subject context. Localized tool names retain their capitalization and comment composer titles go through the catalog. Search hints reserve shortcut space and Home cards bound text with full hover text; layout, context and German Preferences/search control regression tests cover these changes. Overall effort estimate remains about 30–35%.
- **2026-10-09 (M2, PDF-function hardening):** Vendored function construction has a shared 64-level/10,000-node limit and path cycle detection; calculator parsing and evaluation have shared depth/work budgets. Calculator integer division, logical shifts, rotations and indices avoid input-driven panics, and fixed-size stack errors propagate. Synthetic tests exercise exact/over limits, shared children and cyclic references, with invalid shading calculations preserving later page content. Limits return the existing optional failure and log their reason when logging is enabled. Milestone/overall effort estimates remain unchanged (about 30–35%).
- **2026-10-09 (community, destinations):** Bookmarks and links go to their destination's position, not just its page (ISO 32000-2 §12.3.2.2): `/XYZ` puts (left, top) at the window's top-left and applies a non-zero zoom; `/Fit`, `/FitH` and `/FitV` switch to fit page, width and height with `top` or `left` at the window's edge; `/FitR` zooms to fit the rectangle, centred. Named destinations resolve the same way; crop-box origin, `/Rotate` and view rotation are accounted for; malformed or non-finite operands fall back to the top of the page. Not yet: the `/FitB*` content box (read as the page). Overall estimate unchanged (about 30–35%).
- **2026-10-09 (M2, image resampling bounds):** Image resampling checks source buffers, finite transforms, target RGBA sizes, intermediate scratch dimensions and estimated filter work before planning or allocating; wide valid sources may shrink before backend side limits. Oversized or failed resampling retains the original pixels and placement when the source fits the backend; invalid sources, unrepresentable fallbacks and failed staging/output reserves are skipped with a logged warning. Small synthetic metadata regressions and an anisotropically transformed image cover the guards and fallback. Overall estimate unchanged (about 30–35%).
- **2026-10-09 (community, M14, Hungarian):** Magyar (`hu`) is a complete interface catalog (2,036 entries) covering every command, All tools entry, dialog, panel and notice, selected automatically for `hu` and `hu_HU`, and from Preferences. Informal "te"; commands are nouns (Mentés, Megnyitás). After a numeral the noun stays singular, so both plural forms match. Coverage tests check commands, All tools labels and every `tl!` literal; history labels keep captured names; the bundled Latin faces cover Hungarian diacritics including ő and ű. Overall estimate unchanged (about 30–35%).
- **2026-10-09 (M14, Windows Auto):** Neutral launcher locales (`C`, `C.UTF-8`, `POSIX`) no longer select English ahead of the Windows preferred display-language list. Explicit supported locale overrides retain their priority. Regression tests use existing catalogs and cover neutral/mixed overrides, unsupported first display tags and multiple preferred Windows languages. Catalogs and other platforms are unchanged; overall effort estimate remains about 30–35%.
- **2026-10-09 (community, M14, German):** Deutsch (`de`) is a complete interface catalog (2,035 entries) covering every command, All tools entry, dialog, panel and notice, selected automatically for `de`, `de_DE`, `de_AT`, `de_CH` and other German locales, and from Preferences. Informal "du", infinitive for commands. Coverage tests check commands, All tools labels and every `tl!` literal; history labels keep captured names; the bundled Latin faces cover umlauts, ß and German quotes. Overall estimate unchanged (about 30–35%).
- **2026-10-09 (community, M7, Arabic added text):** Add text writes Arabic into the PDF instead of `?`. The text is shaped with the craft-fonts `Arab` face through harfrust (already in the tree via egui): joining forms, ligatures and mark positions. Each line is laid out in display order by the Unicode bidirectional algorithm, so Arabic mixed with Latin words, European or Arabic-Indic digits and brackets reads correctly; justified right-to-left paragraphs end at the right edge. Each cluster (a letter with its dots or marks) becomes one glyph of a Type 3 font built from the face's outlines, with a ToUnicode entry, so `text_extract`, copy and search get every letter once and no font file is embedded. Wrapping measures shaped words. Each item has its own fonts under names free on the page (a full save renumbers objects but not resource names); updating or deleting the item removes them. Without the face, adding Arabic text returns a clear error and changes nothing, while an existing item holding Arabic still moves and retypes, drawn as `?` as before. Tests cover shaping, display order, ToUnicode, font names and clean-up on one page, and odd input (empty lines, direction controls, lone marks, 18,000 characters). Not yet: bold/italic Arabic, Hebrew, right-to-left typing in the box (misc.rtl-ui), editing existing Arabic text (edit.rtl-cjk-editing). The craft-fonts revision pinned for releases predates its Arabic face, so release builds report the missing font until the pin moves. Overall estimate unchanged (about 30–35%).
- **2026-10-09 (M2, predictor hardening):** Empty PNG predictor frames return without row buffers. Packed TIFF Predictor 2 rows reject overflowing dimensions and size per-component scratch to the samples present in the input, aligned with upstream lopdf#589. Synthetic regressions cover malformed dimensions, partial rows, 1/2/4-bit decoding and padding. Overall estimate unchanged (about 30–35%).
- **2026-10-09 (community, document inspection):** Annotation dates preserve non-date Unicode text instead of panicking while opening; failed auxiliary structure inspection keeps renderer page geometry and reports a warning. Synthetic UTF16BE annotation, UTF8-boundary and independent panic regressions cover the fix. Overall estimate unchanged (about 30–35%).
- **2026-10-09 (community, M14, #503):** Ukrainian (Українська, `uk`) adds 2,047 original catalog entries covering commands, tools, dialogs, panels, notices, history and contributor controls. Auto resolves `uk`/`uk_UA`; the manual preference persists. Integer plurals distinguish one/few/many, including 11–14 and large counts; fixed-count templates use count-neutral wording. Calendar dates use genitive month names; Home cards fit wrapped text and the search hint keeps clear of its shortcut. Coverage checks scan UI literals, and font checks use bundled Inter and JetBrains Mono, including ґ/є/і/ї. Control tests check translated Preferences, command search, error framing and language switching with unsaved documents. Overall estimate unchanged (about 30–35%).
- **2026-10-09 (community, M5, #158):** Fill & Sign date format. Preferences ▸ Date format sets the pattern Fill & Sign dates use: 12 presets or any pattern in Acrobat date letters (with `\` escapes), checked and previewed as typed, remembered, and settable through `fill_sign_date_format`, `fill_sign_add` `format`/`language` and `ui set date-format`/`date-language`. Month and weekday names come in the interface languages (Czech in the genitive after a day), following the interface language unless one is picked. Fill & Sign text is still Helvetica/WinAnsi, so a date with other letters (Czech ř, Japanese, Chinese) is refused with a warning rather than saved as "?". This goes past Acrobat, whose Fill & Sign has no format setting. Overall estimate unchanged (about 30–35%).
- **2026-10-09 (M14, #503 follow-up):** Reviewed the complete Ukrainian catalog with VESUM 6.8.6 and manually checked the labels added when #509 landed. Certificate Subject now names the certificate holder separately from the document topic; certificate types and fingerprints, equal field sizes, keyboard/assistive-technology guidance and table sections use clearer contextual wording. Reviewed technical compounds and abbreviations remain unchanged. Overall effort estimate remains about 30–35%.
- **2026-10-09 (community, Home pinned folders):** Home gets a Folders section: File ▸ Pin folder to Home… (or "Pin a folder…" on Home) pins up to 8 folders, and each lists its newest PDFs (name, how long ago, size; 8 at first, up to 100 with Show more), one click to open, Unpin to remove. Folders are read on a worker thread and listed again every few seconds while Home shows, so new scans appear without reopening anything; a folder that can't be read (moved, offline synced drive) stays pinned and says so. Each folder is described by where it is ("iCloud Drive", "OneDrive · Contoso", "Documents › Work") rather than its full path, so two folders called "Scans" can be told apart. Cloud drives work through their local synced folder; nothing is read through a provider's API. Settings keep only absolute paths, without duplicates. Command label translated in every catalog; Home strings in French, Spanish, Japanese and both Chinese catalogs. Not yet: subfolders, search inside a pinned folder, the web build. Overall estimate unchanged (about 30–35%).
- **2026-10-09 (community, M14, Telugu):** Telugu (తెలుగు, `te`) as a complete catalog of 1,984 entries covering every command, All tools entry, dialog, panel and notice; `te` and `te_IN` locales follow it. Telugu text is drawn with a craft-fonts `Telu` face (Noto Sans Telugu, storytold/craft-fonts#10), kept in the web build too, after the CJK and Arabic faces; egui shapes its conjuncts. Commands use the plain imperative and sentences the polite form. The craft-fonts revision pinned for releases has no Telugu face yet, so release builds show Telugu as replacement boxes until the pin moves. Overall estimate unchanged (about 30–35%).
- **2026-10-09 (M14, Simplified Chinese About):** The About tabs, contributor controls and statistics, and model table now have Simplified Chinese translations, along with multiline link-privacy and cut-and-stack guidance. Coverage checks include direct `i18n::t` calls, multiline literals and dynamic credit labels; UI control checks exercise the translated About tabs and tables. Chinese font delivery remains incomplete; overall ≈ 30–35% (unchanged).
- **2026-10-09 (M14, #305):** Windows MSI rejects per-user installation overrides while allowing removal of legacy per-user installs and keeps its progress message visible. README documents unattended deployment without a desktop shortcut. Compiled x64 MSI checks pass; ARM64 install regressions added for CI. Overall estimate unchanged (about 30–35%).
- **2026-10-09 (M13, MCP #451):** common command, batch, inspection and bounded preview tools share the existing confined automation path. MCP tools carry complete hints and reject unknown top-level keys as invalid parameters.
- **2026-10-08 (M14, #307, upstream integration):** Rebased the local candidate onto main `a6bc63a`, preserving render-request deduplication, pixel-aligned rasters, signature editing and organizer insertion controls. Regressions cover inactive signature-preview cleanup, insertion gaps under virtualization, and canceled/reintroduced render requests. All 1,336 workspace tests pass (6 ignored), 193 parser tests pass (2 missing-fixture tests filtered), strict workspace/all-target Clippy passes without allowances, and 30 WASM crate checks pass. All 1,010 navigation frames, 12 workflow artifacts and eight 100-page external PDF checks match; 1×/2× desktop protocols pass again. Inspection is 497.7 MiB / 1.78 s, full-save 1.06 GiB / 29.64 s, and fresh desktop navigation/close/reopen 877 MiB. The desktop result is higher than the pre-rebase 832 MiB, while remaining 21.9% below the earlier bounded-writer stage. Windows, cold-start latency and global memory budgets remain open; no milestone percentage increase.
- **2026-10-08 (M5.7, signature resize proportions):** Image signature corner handles preserve the embedded image's original aspect ratio and anchor the opposite corner; edge midpoint handles stretch width or height independently. The live preview and committed edit share the constrained geometry, including page/view rotation and reopened PDFs whose rectangles were stretched previously. Synthetic UI tests cover all corners, edge resizing, undo and redo. Milestone and effort estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-08 (M5.7, live signature adjustment):** Embedded image signatures resize and move with every pointer frame. Movement hides the frame and handles, which return on release; Escape cancels without committing. A cached background preserves the page beneath the image, and only the completed gesture enters undo history. The read-only engine preview and `comment_image_preview` tool share bounded image decoding and render layers. Synthetic pixel tests cover live geometry, alpha, coloured page content, rotation, cancellation and encrypted save/reopen. Milestone and effort estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-08 (M10/M4, create from multiple files):** Create a PDF ▸ Multiple files is live. The picked PDFs, images and `.txt` files open as one unsaved document in the Organize page grid, where pages are removed and reordered and Save pages writes what is shown. The grid gained a "+" at every gap that inserts files right there, and on desktop files dropped on the grid go to the gap under the pointer; Insert from file now takes several files in order, converts images and text, and selects what it inserted. File-type detection moved from the shell into `pdfcraft-create` (`source_kind`), with one engine entry point (`Session::convert_to_pdf`) shared by Open, Insert, Create and the new `doc_create_multiple` tool (which can also write one PDF per file). Not yet: Office/HTML/Markdown inputs, PDF Portfolios, progress for big batches, dropping onto the grid in the web build. Overall estimate unchanged (about 30–35%).
- **2026-10-08 (M5.7, signature placement):** Image signatures and initials preview at the pointer at their actual page size, including zoom and document/view rotation. A successful placement switches to Select with the new annotation selected; stamp resize handles use the existing engine edit, automation tool and undo history while preserving the appearance. Synthetic rendered UI and automation tests verify positioning, one placement per selection, resizing, undo/redo and save/reopen. Milestone and overall effort estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-08 (M5.7, image signatures):** Fill & Sign imports local PNG/JPEG signatures and initials through the Image tab, with previews, local persistence and undoable placement. The shared engine validates bounded images and preserves transparency and orientation; `fill_sign_add` accepts an image path. Synthetic UI and automation tests cover cancellation, invalid input, settings, undo/redo and save/reopen rendering. Overall effort estimate unchanged (about 30–35%).
- **2026-10-08 (M14, #307, confirmed baseline OOM):** Removed the benchmark RSS guard and ran the frozen original and optimized CLI binaries in separate containers with a verified 15 GiB kernel memory limit, no swap and four CPUs. The unmodified baseline was kernel OOM-killed after 20.06 s with 14.97 GiB observed RSS; Docker recorded `OOMKilled=true`, exit 137 and an `oom` event. The optimized build completed the same 9,156-page inspection at 497.5 MiB in 1.75 s with unchanged metadata and no warnings. The original RSS remains a lower bound and elapsed time is time to failure. The kernel limit still constrains this experiment; no remote run was needed. No product changes or milestone percentage increase.
- **2026-10-08 (M14, #307, original-baseline cutoff):** Repeated original unmodified CLI inspection with a 14 GiB RSS guard, up from 10 GiB, on the unchanged 9,156-page PDF. It reached 14,682,080 KiB and was stopped after 48.21 s before completion; no cgroup OOM kill occurred. The optimized build completed the same inspection at 495.7 MiB in 1.70 s. The original measurement is a lower bound, not a completed peak or timing. This guarded run failed before completion without an OS OOM kill. The user closed the larger-host follow-up; the prepared benchmark is retained as evidence. The later local guard-free experiment is recorded above. No product changes or milestone percentage increase.
- **2026-10-08 (M14, #307, shared parsing and raster budgets):** Native render workers share a lazily initialized parser after cold-load/repair concurrency and watchdog recovery fixes, while retaining private render caches. Pages, organizer and Print request current visible thumbnails; retained active-view textures are limited to 24/128/128 MiB for thumbnails/pages/tiles and completed raster storage to 32 MiB/32 results, allowing one oversized result alone. Signature discovery uses a bounded source/edit-aware cache; the writer borrows unchanged objects and reuses xref rows. Engine navigation drops from 997 to 807 MiB with all 1,010 frame hashes unchanged. Three-trial full/incremental-save workflow times improve to 29.92/16.35 s at unchanged 1.06/1.08 GiB peaks; full serialization remains slower than before bounded saving, and the single mixed workflow takes 67.99 s versus 65.52 s. All 1,158 workspace tests pass (6 ignored in the regular run), 193 vendor tests pass (2 missing-fixture tests filtered), eight outputs pass 100-page external checks, and 29 WASM crate checks pass. Existing strict workspace Clippy warnings remain; UI lint validation explicitly allows the existing collapsible-match category. Fresh desktop navigation/close/reopen falls from 1,123 to 832 MiB; 1x/2x GUI runs pass visible-demand and texture-budget checks on original 10,000-page fixtures and the real file. Output-capacity and LRU experiments did not justify production changes. These are local Linux results and specific storage budgets, not global RAM limits or Windows validation. No parity or milestone percentage increase.
- **2026-10-08 (M14, #307, bounded saving):** Full rewriting now uses private temporary caches and packs objects in batches limited by count and serialized bytes, preserving unknown objects, reference identity and encryption behavior without populating undo snapshots. Native render workers initialize only on a live request, avoiding unused parser copies during refresh/rebase. Three same-file Linux trials reduce rotate/full-save/close/reopen peak RSS from 3.69 to 1.06 GiB (35.53 to 32.51 s); incremental workflow RSS falls from 1.56 to 1.08 GiB. All 1,114 workspace tests pass (4 ignored); eight saved outputs pass external text/raster checks on 100 sampled pages each, and 1,010 navigation frames match. First use of each worker now pays parser initialization; steady-state viewing remains about 1 GiB. Single oversized objects, whole source/output buffers, and Windows behavior remain outside a global budget claim. No parity or milestone percentage increase.
- **2026-10-08 (M14, #307, research/comparison):** Added a local external-reference suite outside the repository, using the same 9,156-page PDF with MuPDF, PDFium, Poppler and qpdf. Three Linux trials put the candidate's single-renderer 102-frame peak at 392 MiB, versus 348/347 MiB for MuPDF/PDFium with whole-file bytes (164/163 MiB with file input). The rotate/full-save/close/reopen workflow peaks at 3.69 GiB during serialization; incremental saving peaks at 1.56 GiB during rebasing. Different UI features, input/cache policies and writer compression settings prevent treating these as app rankings. Next targets are bounded object-stream packing, parsed-object lifetimes, snapshot overlap and file-backed input. No further runtime optimization or milestone percentage increase in this research step.
- **2026-10-08 (M14, #307, local candidate):** Validated the 192.9 MB, 9,156-page VMware document in Linux. The original CLI exceeded a 10 GiB measurement cutoff before finishing inspection; the candidate inspects in about 1.8 s at 496 MiB and a 1,000-page navigation/close/reopen probe peaks at 990 MiB. It shares validated large resource indexes within each parser, reads panel structure on demand through COS with the previous inspector as a compatibility fallback, and scans standalone timestamps with temporary caches instead of retaining every object in the editor. Inspection output and 104 common sampled page renders match the handoff candidate. This is a different PDF revision from the original Windows issue; Windows GUI private memory and responsiveness remain unverified. No parity or milestone percentage increase.
- **2026-10-08 (M9, #179):** Windows Current User Personal certificate store identities join file-based digital IDs, signing through CNG without exporting keys. RSA-2048 and ECDSA P-256 round trips use temporary certificates with cleanup guards; enumeration, missing identities, automation errors and the password-free UI have regression coverage. Smart cards and PKCS #11 remain planned; overall effort estimate unchanged.
- **2026-10-08 (M4, Combine files):** Combine files is now its own tab instead of a dialog: a table of the files (name, pages, size, modified, warnings) whose columns sort, resize and move, with the layout kept in the settings. Files, folders (optionally with subfolders) and open documents can be added, or dropped on the tab; rows select like a file manager (Ctrl/Shift), move as a block by toolbar, Alt+arrows or drag, and every change undoes with ⌘Z. Problems show before Combine: password-protected files, security settings that withhold page assembly, bad page ranges (checked as typed), duplicates; protected files unlock with their open or permissions password, also headlessly (`doc_combine` `passwords`). The result is never encrypted, and the list says so. `organize.combine-sort` shipped; `organize.combine-options` partial (open files). Still missing: protecting the result in the same step, file-size and PDF/A options. Overall estimate unchanged (about 30–35%).
- **2026-10-08 (M14, French):** Français (`fr`) is a complete interface catalog (about 1,880 entries), selected automatically for `fr`, `fr_FR`, `fr_CA` and other French locales, and from Preferences. Coverage tests check commands, All tools labels and every `tl!` literal; history labels keep captured names. Latin UI faces cover the catalog. Localization remains partial for Czech and Brazilian Portuguese; overall ≈ 30–35% (unchanged).
- **2026-10-08 (M14, right-to-left file names):** A tab with an Arabic or Hebrew file name showed replacement boxes. The interface now takes an `Arab` face from craft-fonts when the build input has one, and on desktop falls back to one font installed on the machine for characters no embedded face has (`PDFCRAFT_SYSTEM_FONTS=0` turns that off; README screenshots do). File names and paths in the tab strip, the recent-files list and Properties are put in display order, since egui joins the letters but does not reorder runs. Still missing: multi-line text (bookmarks, comments, search results), text input and a mirrored layout, so `misc.rtl-ui` stays planned; the craft-fonts revision pinned for releases predates its Arabic face, so release builds rely on the installed font until the pin moves. Overall estimate unchanged (about 30–35%).
- **2026-10-08 (community, M3, #214):** In single-page view, when the whole page fits, the wheel turns pages: one per wheel notch, one per trackpad swipe including its momentum. The rail gets a Page display button between rotate and zoom with Acrobat's view choices (Fit to width scrolling, Fit one full page, Actual size, Zoom to page level, Fit visible, Read mode, Full screen) and the page layouts. Preferences gets Default page display and Default zoom, which every new tab uses. In continuous view, Fit page and Fit height fit the largest page, so mixed page sizes no longer jump while scrolling. Overall estimate unchanged (about 30–35%).
- **2026-10-08 (M14, Windows Chinese Auto):** Auto now reads the Windows display language after locale environment overrides, selecting Simplified or Traditional Chinese through the existing locale mapping. Added Chinese region/script and Windows query regressions. Chinese font delivery remains incomplete. Localization remains partial; overall ≈ 30–35% (unchanged).
- **2026-10-08 (M3, themes):** Toolbar and Display theme now share System, Light and Dark preferences, one command path and persistent settings; the duplicate View toggle is removed. Effective colours track the OS only in System mode, with egui popup styles kept in sync. Overall estimate unchanged (about 30–35%).
- **2026-10-08 (M14, Simplified Chinese):** Added 208 translations, bringing the catalog from 1,625 to 1,833 entries. PhotoCraft-style coverage checks protect registered commands, All tools labels and UI `tl!` literals; generated history and diagnostic regressions preserve user values. Chinese font delivery remains incomplete: the release-pinned craft-fonts input has no Hans face and the web build only embeds the Japanese UI face (see #112 and #140). Localization remains partial; overall ≈ 30–35% (unchanged).
- **2026-10-08 (community, #135):** CLI output exits cleanly when a pipe reader closes early. Other stdout errors return a failure instead of panicking, and command/file errors keep their diagnostics. Synthetic subprocess regressions cover closed pipes and a reader stopping after one line. Parity counts and effort estimate unchanged (≈ 30–35%).
- **2026-10-08 (community):** Cut and stack in Print > Multiple: single-sided n-up sheets can be cut into cell piles and restacked in selected page order, with aligned gutter marks and blanks kept in their cells. Available through doc_print; duplex is refused. Grid-size overflow returns an error. No change to the parity count or the overall estimate (about 30–35%).
- **2026-10-07 (community, #208):** Measure: distance, perimeter and area annotations (standard LineDimension/PolyLineDimension/PolygonDimension with rectilinear /Measure), persistent viewport scales with two-point calibration, vector snapping (endpoints, midpoints, intersections, paths) through nested forms, live readings, CSV export, and eight `measure_*` agent tools. Hardened on landing: snap extraction caps segments and snap targets page-wide and skips undecodable streams and over-deep `q` instead of failing; unsupported imported measurements (compound ft-in, fractional, invalid geometry) are listed as unsupported rather than failing the list; non-ASCII units ("m²") are allowed and rendered in WinAnsi; a closing duplicate polygon vertex counts as closed. Distance and scale are partial (single-unit decimal formats only; Acrobat interop untested). 51.0% shipped; ≈ 30–35% effort.
- **2026-10-07 (community, #190):** Create PDF from Images offers embedded resolution, 72 DPI, or custom DPI (1–1200) without resampling. The engine and doc_create share the choice; Windows image context menus open the chooser through --create-images. Overall estimate unchanged (about 30–35%).
- **2026-10-07 (community, #161):** The "Save changes?" prompt keeps a long file name inside the modal: the title wraps to the dialog width, so the centered panel no longer stretches past the viewport, clips its message and pushes Save/Cancel off-screen (Windows report). The password prompt's file-name line wraps the same way, and a regression test pins the title and all three buttons inside a 1365×719 screen. Parity counts unchanged; ≈ 30–35%.
- **2026-10-07 (community, #143):** Windows MSI gets a full-UI welcome dialog with a "Create a desktop shortcut" checkbox (on by default; `INSTALLDESKTOPSHORTCUT=0` for unattended installs), progress, files in use, repair/remove, and a "Setup completed successfully" screen with Finish (plus distinct failed/cancelled screens). Start Menu and desktop shortcuts are now plain links to `pdfcraft.exe` instead of advertised MSI shortcuts. Packaging checks the compiled MSI's shortcut, checkbox and dialog tables; the ARM64 smoke test checks both links' targets, their removal on uninstall, and the opt-out. Installer polish only; feature counts unchanged. ≈ 30–35%.
- **2026-10-07 (localization):** The interface translates through the same system as PhotoCraft: one TSV catalog per language (`crates/ui-egui/src/i18n/ja.tsv`), the `tl!` macro, entries keyed by command id or with plural forms, and catalog tests (format, duplicates, placeholders, command ids). Catalogs are validated strictly (unknown escapes, reserved contexts, placeholders, ellipses, plural forms), a bad line is skipped and logged at run time, `fmt` substitutes in one pass, the drawing language is per thread, and each `.tsv` is an attributed asset (`kind = "translation"`, checked by `cargo xtask assets`); validation, attribution and the language-switch control test folded in from #175. The 49 existing Japanese strings moved over unchanged, plus `Auto`. The `language` preference now defaults to `auto` (follow the system language; English when it has no catalog); `en`/`ja` still persist, and unknown values are rejected. Not covered: dialogs and panels, Windows system-language detection. ≈ 30–35% (unchanged).
- **2026-10-07 (session 16):** PrintCraft is renamed PdfCraft: repo `storytold/pdfcraft`, crates and binaries `pdfcraft*`, bundle id `ai.storyteller.pdfcraft`. On first launch the app moves the old PrintCraft settings and crash-recovery folders to the new name, so upgrades keep recent files, preferences and unsaved work. No feature change. ≈ 30–35%.
- **2026-10-07 (community, #163):** Fill & Sign shows saved signature/initials previews with add, change and remove controls in the quick picker and left panel. The editor loads the saved typed text or drawn strokes; Apply replaces future placements and Cancel preserves the saved value. Existing annotations stay unchanged. Long typed names shrink to the placement width and include glyph overhangs in preview/PDF bounds. Regression coverage includes persistence, removal/recreation, long names and the opt-in UI control channel. Parity counts and effort estimate unchanged (50.2% shipped, ≈ 30–35% effort).
- **2026-10-07 (fork, default-workspace-mode):** Preferences ▸ Documents and view remembers the workspace used for newly opened PDFs. All Tools remains the default; explicit CLI/control mode overrides last for the session and PDF Initial View metadata stays independent. Overall estimate unchanged (≈ 30–35%).
- **2026-10-07 (community, M14, #112):** Simplified Chinese (简体中文, `zh-hans`) as a catalog of about 1,600 entries; `zh`, `zh_CN` and `zh-Hans` locales follow it. In Simplified Chinese the craft-fonts `Hans` faces come before the Japanese ones, so Simplified-only characters don't sit on a different baseline.
- **2026-10-07 (community, M14, #140):** Traditional Chinese (繁體中文, `zh-hant`, Taiwan vocabulary) as a catalog of about 1,800 entries; `zh_TW`, `zh_HK`, `zh_MO` and `zh-Hant` locales follow it. Drawn with the craft-fonts CJK faces (missing characters show replacement boxes).
- **2026-10-07 (community, M14, #141):** Every dialog, panel, notice, shortcut list and native-picker title goes through the catalog (`tl!`, `i18n::fmt`), and Japanese grows from 49 to about 1,800 entries (`ja.tsv`); worker threads (export, OCR, actions) write their summaries in the UI language; history labels keep captured file and field names; the command palette searches translated and English labels and ids. Engine and OS error text is no longer matched against English templates: it is shown as is, inside a translated frame. Localization remains partial for other languages.
- **2026-10-07 (session 15):** Five community issues, each with a regression test: in two-page view, Next page moves a whole spread (#77, #70); Export to Word opens in Word again, with control characters dropped and receipt-length pages kept within Word's 22 in, checked in Microsoft Word (#78, #72); macOS opens PDFs from Finder, Open With and the Dock (Apple events through the audited `fmv-macos-events`, PDF declared in the Info.plist), and the packaging no longer describes the image editor it was copied from (#82, #73); Add text keeps the box being typed when you click elsewhere, with Done and Discard beside it, reproduced and checked with real OS input (#86, #74); sharper, higher-contrast text, most visible on Windows, with every text colour at WCAG AA in both themes (#84, #76; the console window was already gone in 0.2.1). Still open: #79 (layered "not verified" signature appearances), #80 (native macOS menu bar), #81 (Homebrew and Scoop). P0 88%, P1 53%; 805 features 50.2% shipped (53.7% weighted). ≈ 30–35%.
- **2026-10-06 (community navigation):** Linux-only middle-button vertical scrolling in the document and Organize grid, toggled by clicking the wheel, with cancellation that protects page tools and selection. Scrolling stays on after releasing the wheel, even if the pointer moved before release. Manual feedback led to a Chromium-style distance^2.2 speed curve, a 15-screen-point dead zone, and continuous redraws that use elapsed frame time; the former linear speed cap is removed. Headless UI/control regressions cover fractional movement, consistent travel at 30/60/120/144 fps, pause/resume and cancellation. Other platforms retain their existing middle-button input behavior, with a regression that checks the custom scroller neither blocks input nor changes the cursor or consumes Escape. No new dependency. Automatic scrolling remains partial because keyboard-started timed scrolling is absent. Overall effort estimate remains ≈ 30–35%.
- **2026-10-06 (session 14):** Issues: move and resize existing text boxes in Edit text (#59, closes #40); Windows release builds open no console window and the Start Menu shortcut has its icon (#58, #57; rolled out to every Craft app); native Windows ARM64 installers, installed and run on an ARM64 runner in CI (#66, #71; the intermittent ARM64 test crash was a WARP shader-JIT race between parallel GPU-rendering tests, not our code); XFA forms are detected and explained instead of failing silently (#65, #60 stays open for real XFA). Also: squiggly underline tool, comment opacity, Preferences ▸ Identity, drag-and-drop/hover tests; community table export to Word/HTML/RTF (#62, with linear-time detection and a column cap). #63 (timestamps/LTV with outbound network) held for review fixes and an owner decision on network access. ≈ 30–35% (unchanged).
- **2026-10-06 (community, #68):** Interface language: Czech (Čeština, `ui.set language=cs`) joins English and Japanese. It translates every registered File/Edit/Pages/View/Help command and every label routed through the translation table, with tests that fail when a menu label lacks Czech; the interface fonts are tested to cover Czech diacritics. Dialogs and panels remain English (misc.prefs-language: partial).
- **2026-10-06:** M1: invalid object-number ranges in xref tables and streams take the existing reconstruction path, with the reason recorded, instead of overflowing or aliasing another object. Synthetic open/repair regression added. Overall estimate unchanged (≈ 30–35%).
- **2026-10-05 (session 13, later):** FreeBSD: CI builds and tests the workspace in a FreeBSD 14.3 VM (#45) and the release ships a FreeBSD x86_64 tarball, checked in CI (#42); README lists FreeBSD. Fuzzing: the nightly job's 11 hangs fixed (#41: our parser's exponential retries, inline images, Type 3 fan-out), plus a JBIG2 hang (#43, vendored hayro-jbig2) and a Type 1 font stack overflow (#46, skrifa 0.47); a full run now finds 0 crashes. Landed community PRs #36 (text editing, Japanese replacements), #47 (English/Japanese interface) and #48 (XFDF colour crash). Windows launch crash with Intel's Vulkan driver fixed by using Direct3D 12 (#49, issue #37); one copy of the Japanese font instead of two (#51, −8.3 MB); full screen and About get real tests (#50). P0 88%, P1 52%. ≈ 30–35%.
- **2026-10-05 (community, #47):** Interface language: Preferences ▸ Interface language switches English/Japanese and persists (`ui.set language=ja|en`, reported by `ui.state`). Core menu labels are translated; dialogs, panels and more languages remain open (misc.prefs-language: partial).
- **2026-10-05 (session 13):** Landed community PRs #3–#7 and the never-crash rollout (#11–#25); CI green on every job for the first time in 30+ runs (clippy 1.99, Windows line endings, perf-test noise); nightly fuzz job made to finish (child memory cap) and its findings fixed: 7 out-of-memory crashes (#27, #29, #30) and 11 hangs (in review); issue #8 (integrated GPU, keyboard save prompt); Help ▸ Check for updates (manual only). Added the honest assessment and gap list above. P0 88%, P1 52%; 804 features 49.5% shipped (53.3% weighted). ≈ 30–35%.
- **2026-10-03 (session 12, later):** Forms (merge data into a spreadsheet, Actions tab, automatic field detection and naming), Compare files (new `compare` crate: text and visual differences, panel, report, comments), Action Wizard (built-in and custom actions over files), PDF/A verify and Save as PDF/A (new `preflight` crate), Export to Word/HTML/RTF (new `export` crate). P0 88%, P1 52%; 803 features 49.6% shipped (53.3% weighted). ≈ 39%.
- **2026-10-03 (session 12):** Edit text and images in place (lines, paragraphs, formatting, existing images), Scan & OCR (new `ocr` crate on ocrs with CC-BY-SA models fetched by `cargo xtask models`: searchable image, page ranges, multiple files), Acrobat JavaScript (new `js` crate on boa: custom field scripts in Acrobat's event order, button scripts, document JavaScripts, console, Enable JavaScript preference, sandbox limits). 110+ tools; P0 88%, P1 48%; 803 features 47.9% shipped (51.1% weighted). ≈ 37%.
- **2026-10-02 (session 11, later):** Sign with macOS Keychain identities, Add alternate text, Advanced Search panel, space audit and link clean-up in the Optimizer, hybrid-reference files, signed documents protected from rewrites, redaction cleans the tags, custom stamps, image fields, Combine files with page choice. 97 tools; P0 82%, P1 45%. ≈ 30%.
- **2026-10-02 (session 11):** Accessibility Checker (new `a11y` crate: all 32 rules, report, fixes, options dialog and results panel), MCP resources for page images and text, revisions (list, open an earlier one), export all images, fit visible, form Preview and locked fields, document title in the window; plus attachment comments, eraser, date picker, duplicate/align/distribute fields. 91 tools; P0 80%, P1 43%. ≈ 29%.
- **2026-10-02 (session 10, last):** Manual tab order, backgrounds/watermarks from files (PDF pages as forms, images), Initial View and reading options (honoured on open), bookmarks expand/collapse, make-default comment properties, required-field borders, cut/copy/paste pages, marquee zoom, snapshot. 85 tools; P0 80%, P1 ≈ 27%.
- **2026-10-02 (session 10, latest):** PDF Optimizer and real Reduce File Size (new `optimize` crate: effective-resolution image downsampling, recompression, discards), Field Properties ▸ Options for every field type, Redaction Properties overlay styling, drag-to-reorder pages, repair notice and log; signature revalidation made incremental (comment edit on a 120 MB signed file 84 → 6 ms). 84 tools; P0 parity ≈ 80%. ≈ 27%.
- **2026-10-02 (session 10, later):** Digital signatures (new `sign` crate: PKCS #12, X.509, CMS; PAdES B-B signing incl. certification; validation with trust store and DocMDP-aware change detection; Signatures panel, message bar, sign and digital ID dialogs; signed documents keep incremental saves), polygon/cloud/connected-lines/callout/caret comments, Create PDF from clipboard, comment filters by colour and checkmark. Verified against pdfsig and OpenSSL. 83 tools; P0 parity 78%, P1 22.5%. ≈ 26%.
- **2026-10-02 (session 10):** Viewer conveniences (fit height, view history, cover page, close all, revert, system theme, find options), XFDF/FDF and form data exchange (new `xfdf` crate), stamps, organize extras (split by bookmarks/size, Extract and Rotate Pages dialogs), links (Link tool and properties, create from URLs), comment review (checkmarks, locking, copy text, hide all, summaries). Fixed the Comments panel's "…" menu, which chased the pointer. 79 tools; P0 parity ≈ 73%, P1 ≈ 19%. ≈ 23%.
- **2026-10-02 (session 9, later):** Print (n-up, booklet, poster, preview, CUPS), export JPEG/TIFF and create from TIFF/GIF/BMP, add text and images that stay editable, form formats/validation/calculation run natively (Acrobat's AF functions), field appearance, tab order, push buttons, 500-page frame budget. 67 tools; P0 parity ≈ 73%. ≈ 21%.
- **2026-10-02 (session 9):** Prepare a form (field authoring, Field Properties), Redaction (new `content` and `redact` crates: glyph/image/vector/XObject removal with verification, Search & Redact patterns, full-rewrite saves), Remove hidden information and Sanitize. 59 agent tools; P0 parity ≈ 63%. ≈ 18%.
- **2026-10-01 (session 8):**
  - Commenting: sticky notes, highlights, underline, strikethrough, text boxes, freehand, lines, arrows, rectangles and ovals, with replies, status, colours, moving and resizing; Acrobat-style quick bar and Comments panel; six agent tools (an agent can highlight a phrase by naming it).
  - Protect Using Password, with Acrobat's permission levels and compatibility options; Remove security.
  - Filling in forms: text, check boxes, radio buttons, combo and list boxes, Tab between fields, Clear form; three agent tools.
  - Performance: opening a 190 MB manual went from 172 s to under 2 s; comment and form edits on it are 6× faster.
  - Fixed: saving a password-protected document failed; encrypted documents were not reported as encrypted.
  - Set Page Boxes, a Crop tool and Duplicate pages.
  - Header & footer (page numbers, dates, Bates numbers), watermarks and backgrounds, with Update and Remove.
  - Export to PNG and text; create PDFs from images, text or nothing; Reduce file size.
  - Fill & Sign: typed text, marks, the date and a drawn signature.
  - Comment properties, filtering and sorting; flattening comments and form fields.
  - Fixed: the Hand tool did not pan.
  - 50 agent tools.
  - Overall ≈ 16%.
- **2026-10-01 (session 7):**
  - Bookmark editing and page numbering (Number pages), with undo, agent tools and UI.
  - A render watchdog: pathological pages are skipped after 20 s instead of spinning forever.
  - The agent control channel no longer reports success when the window is hidden.
  - Community links: Discord button in the title bar, plus Home, About, Help menu, CLI and README.
  - Overall ≈ 10%.
- **2026-10-01 (session 6):**
  - UI control channel: agents can inspect the widget tree, click, type, press keys, run commands and take screenshots of the running app. Off unless the app is started with `--control`; loopback only, token-authenticated.
  - Combine and insert store identical fonts, images and other resources once. 40 copies of the showcase: 130 MB → 3.9 MB, 3× faster, pixel-identical.
  - Full saves use compressed object streams (showcase 3.4 → 2.8 MB; the 40× combine is now 2.3 MB). Fixed opening encrypted files whose catalog is compressed, and a crash on looped page trees.
  - Fuzzing (`cargo xtask fuzz`, nightly in CI): about 150,000 mutated files tried. Seven crash and hang bugs found and fixed, each with a regression test: two in our code, five in the temporary renderer.
  - Parity checklist: 826 Acrobat Pro features tracked in `parity/acrobat-features.toml`; `cargo xtask parity` checks every claim against code and tests. 11.8% shipped overall, 31.6% of P0.
  - Overall ≈ 9.5%.
- **2026-09-30 (session 5, after a machine crash; no work lost):**
  - Agent control: new `pdfcraft-automation` crate with 20 JSON-Schema tools, an opt-in MCP server (`pdfcraft-cli mcp`, stdio only, can be compiled out), and `pdfcraft-cli run`/`tools`.
  - Text on rotated pages now reads along its lines; the pdf.js oracle is unchanged at median 0.980.
  - Finding text in 520 pages: 17.9 s → 3.7 s (parallel), about 20 ms when repeated (cached).
  - CI: dependency licence audit (`deny.toml`, `xtask deny`) and a GitHub workflow for macOS, Windows, Linux and wasm.
  - Overall ≈ 8%.
- **2026-09-30 (session 4):**
  - Combine, extract and split, with links, named destinations, fields, layers, attachments and nested bookmarks all carried over. Combined pages render pixel-identical to their sources.
  - Fixed a precision bug in how reals were written.
  - Encryption: a new `crypt` crate covering R2–R6. Encrypted documents can be opened, edited and saved; permissions are honoured; the Security tab is real. Checked against hayro and qpdf.
  - Autosave and crash recovery.
  - Command registry.
  - Asset policy (`AGENTS.md`, `ATTRIBUTION.toml`, `xtask assets`) and a README with 13 reproducible screenshots (`xtask screenshots`).
  - Overall ≈ 7%.
- **2026-09-30 (session 3):**
  - New crates: `filters` (every non-image filter, 57 tests) and `cos` (object parser, xref reader, repair, incremental and full writer).
  - New `organize` crate: page operations and info edits.
  - Engine: editing with undo/redo and save. CLI: `edit`.
  - UI: organize toolbar with multi-select, ⌘Z/⇧⌘Z/⌘S/⇧⌘S, Edit menu, editable Description properties, a dot on tabs with unsaved changes, and a save prompt on close and quit. 13 new kittest tests.
  - Corpus: open, edit and save round-trip on 946 of 951 files. 182 of 182 sampled saved outputs pass `qpdf --check`.
  - Overall ≈ 5%.
- **2026-09-30 (session 2):**
  - Robustness sweep (963 of 983 files open, 0 crashes), text layer, find and select, tiles, web build, polish.
  - Overall ≈ 3–4%.
- **2026-09-30 (session 1):** planning complete; viewer vertical slice.

- M13: common command, batch, inspection and bounded preview tools share the existing confined automation path. MCP tools carry complete hints and reject unknown top-level keys as invalid parameters.
- **2026-10-10 (UI docking):** Tools and Inspector can be regrouped, split beside the PDF, or floated inside the app window. Existing toggles reopen panels at their saved locations; UI commands arrange/reset panels, and preferences retain their layout. Read/full-screen modes preserve the focused document view. No milestone percentage change.

## Revision history

**2026-10-15 · minor:** M14/#2383 candidate: GPU device requests clamp unsupported limits while retaining the adapter texture extent. Synthetic V3D/downlevel regressions and Windows GPU-required tests pass; Raspberry Pi hardware remains unverified. Estimates unchanged.

| 2026-10-13 | minor | M4: rotation queries and edits resolve indirect page-tree values; inherited, negative and large rotations verified through both saves. Estimates unchanged. |
| 2026-10-12 | minor | M6: valid AcroForm XML element names with original PDF field names preserved; saved-PDF collision and Unicode regressions. Estimates unchanged. |
| 2026-10-12 | minor | M6: preserve carriage returns in exported CSV field names and values; saved-PDF round-trip coverage. Estimates unchanged. |
| 2026-10-13 | minor | M4: Insert-from-file preserves source bookmarks; integration tests retained with current main. Estimates unchanged. |
| 2026-10-14 | minor | M7/#128: Hebrew in Add text with the craft-fonts Hebr face (display order, points, ToUnicode, ActualText); estimates unchanged. |
| 2026-10-12 | minor | M3/#1364 candidate: absolute local GoToR links require desktop consent or headless allow_absolute; existing relative navigation and validation retained. Estimates unchanged. |
| 2026-10-12 | minor | M8: redaction retires inherited `/Resources` so a parent `/Pages` can't keep a removed XObject reachable; only redacted pages that inherit are pinned (one shared reference), unredacted pages are untouched; estimates unchanged |
| 2026-10-12 | minor | M7/#1200 candidate: bounded local GoToR opening, root-confined automation, and action-preserving appearance edits; named destinations and window behavior remain partial; estimates unchanged. |
| 2026-10-12 | minor | Exclusive image crops resize with their pixels across nested states, intervening operators and content streams; shared clips remain fixed. Synthetic engine/tool regressions and private image save/reopen checks; estimates unchanged. |
| 2026-10-11 | minor | M10: borderless inferred tables and positioned invoice watermarks (#773); estimates unchanged. |
| 2026-10-11 | minor | M3: Windows' Animation effects setting is followed (wheel scrolling and zooming without easing, no other animations), and Preferences has Animation effects (Use system setting, On, Off). Estimates unchanged. |
| 2026-10-11 | minor | M7: #594 paragraph-drag candidate and source regressions prepared; subsequent Linux validation passed all eight CI gates. Estimates unchanged. |
| 2026-10-10 | minor | Recorded the remaining System appearance repair after #881; estimates unchanged |
| 2026-10-11 | minor | Contributor fork: document-font selection and subset completion, CFF, style ranges, contextual/bidi save/reopen and all-page Chinese keyboard acceptance; curve/hole hit testing (shared clips stay fixed, as on main). Scope remains bounded; percentages unchanged |
| 2026-10-10 | minor | Readiness table with hours per audience; full number restated as the additive weighted sum over dimensions (47% → 49%; method aligned with the standard, no new evidence) |
| 2026-10-10 | minor | Essentials-user score added (≈ 66%) |
| 2026-10-10 | minor | Gate consistency check: convert and share re-judged partial, not blocking; stage pre-alpha → alpha |
| 2026-10-10 | minor | Second look: ready 40% → 47% (cross-cutting double count removed), mainstream-practitioner numbers and user sentiment added; core-workflow alpha gate applied, stage alpha → pre-alpha |
| 2026-10-10 | major | Restructured to the progress-docs standard (stage, two numbers, dimensions, features, languages, upcoming, log); full re-measure; assessment, gaps and milestones moved to `docs/`; log sorted newest first and a stray merged entry dated |
| 2026-10-07 | minor | 806 tracked features, 51.0% shipped, effort-weighted ≈ 30–35%, 600–1,100 h |
| 2026-10-05 | major | Honest assessment and "Where we're lacking" added |
| 2026-10-12 | minor | M8: cleanup removes replacement descriptions only from changed marked-content spans, preserving surviving accessibility text. Estimates unchanged. |
| 2026-10-12 | minor | M8: image redaction removes alternate images and unsupported masks only on affected images. Estimates unchanged. |

- **2026-10-12 (M8):** Redaction cleans indirect and form structure references, preserving surviving form tags.
- **2026-10-13 (M7):** Edit a PDF ▸ Add content: Header and footer, Watermark and Background open an Add / Update / Remove menu (Update and Remove enabled only when the document has that mark), as Acrobat's Watermark control does. The catalogue gains `ToolItem::actions`, so any tool can list more commands (#1192).

- **2026-10-18 (M8, #1350):** Published the history-preserving integration; simplified the inherited-form resource guard for Rust 1.96 Clippy. Formatting, 64 redaction tests, scoped Clippy, layering, assets and the scoped wasm check pass locally. CI remains pending; estimates unchanged.
- **2026-10-12 (i18n):** Albanian (`sq`, Shqip) added: 2,343-entry catalog, month and weekday names, Preferences entry; not yet reviewed by a native speaker.

- **2026-10-21 (M4, #3865):** A new bookmark records where the reader is: the top-left of the selected text, or the top of the window, as `/XYZ left top null` (zoom kept), instead of the page top (`Edit::AddBookmark` takes `left` and `top`; `bookmark_add` takes `top` and `left`; `PageInfo::xyz_for_view`).

- **2026-10-18 (renderer, hayro patches 19/35):** A mesh shading (types 4–7) is sampled over its own triangles instead of the whole path: a BricsCAD plan with 310 one-triangle `sh` fills took 2 s per 1024 px tile at every zoom (and hit the 20 s watchdog on a busy machine); now about 70 ms, so zooming into dense topology drawings stays fluid. Estimates unchanged.
