+
+THE WORK (AS DEFINED BELOW) IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS CREATIVE
+COMMONS PUBLIC LICENSE ("CCPL" OR "LICENSE"). THE WORK IS PROTECTED BY
+COPYRIGHT AND/OR OTHER APPLICABLE LAW. ANY USE OF THE WORK OTHER THAN AS
+AUTHORIZED UNDER THIS LICENSE OR COPYRIGHT LAW IS PROHIBITED.
+
+BY EXERCISING ANY RIGHTS TO THE WORK PROVIDED HERE, YOU ACCEPT AND AGREE
+TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS LICENSE. TO THE EXTENT THIS LICENSE MAY
+BE CONSIDERED TO BE A CONTRACT, THE LICENSOR GRANTS YOU THE RIGHTS
+CONTAINED HERE IN CONSIDERATION OF YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF SUCH TERMS AND
+CONDITIONS.
+
+1. Definitions
+
+ a. "Adaptation" means a work based upon the Work, or upon the Work and
+    other pre-existing works, such as a translation, adaptation,
+    derivative work, arrangement of music or other alterations of a
+    literary or artistic work, or phonogram or performance and includes
+    cinematographic adaptations or any other form in which the Work may be
+    recast, transformed, or adapted including in any form recognizably
+    derived from the original, except that a work that constitutes a
+    Collection will not be considered an Adaptation for the purpose of
+    this License. For the avoidance of doubt, where the Work is a musical
+    work, performance or phonogram, the synchronization of the Work in
+    timed-relation with a moving image ("synching") will be considered an
+    Adaptation for the purpose of this License.
+ b. "Collection" means a collection of literary or artistic works, such as
+    encyclopedias and anthologies, or performances, phonograms or
+    broadcasts, or other works or subject matter other than works listed
+    in Section 1(f) below, which, by reason of the selection and
+    arrangement of their contents, constitute intellectual creations, in
+    which the Work is included in its entirety in unmodified form along
+    with one or more other contributions, each constituting separate and
+    independent works in themselves, which together are assembled into a
+    collective whole. A work that constitutes a Collection will not be
+    considered an Adaptation (as defined above) for the purposes of this
+    License.
+ c. "Distribute" means to make available to the public the original and
+    copies of the Work or Adaptation, as appropriate, through sale or
+    other transfer of ownership.
+ d. "Licensor" means the individual, individuals, entity or entities that
+    offer(s) the Work under the terms of this License.
+ e. "Original Author" means, in the case of a literary or artistic work,
+    the individual, individuals, entity or entities who created the Work
+    or if no individual or entity can be identified, the publisher; and in
+    addition (i) in the case of a performance the actors, singers,
+    musicians, dancers, and other persons who act, sing, deliver, declaim,
+    play in, interpret or otherwise perform literary or artistic works or
+    expressions of folklore; (ii) in the case of a phonogram the producer
+    being the person or legal entity who first fixes the sounds of a
+    performance or other sounds; and, (iii) in the case of broadcasts, the
+    organization that transmits the broadcast.
+ f. "Work" means the literary and/or artistic work offered under the terms
+    of this License including without limitation any production in the
+    literary, scientific and artistic domain, whatever may be the mode or
+    form of its expression including digital form, such as a book,
+    pamphlet and other writing; a lecture, address, sermon or other work
+    of the same nature; a dramatic or dramatico-musical work; a
+    choreographic work or entertainment in dumb show; a musical
+    composition with or without words; a cinematographic work to which are
+    assimilated works expressed by a process analogous to cinematography;
+    a work of drawing, painting, architecture, sculpture, engraving or
+    lithography; a photographic work to which are assimilated works
+    expressed by a process analogous to photography; a work of applied
+    art; an illustration, map, plan, sketch or three-dimensional work
+    relative to geography, topography, architecture or science; a
+    performance; a broadcast; a phonogram; a compilation of data to the
+    extent it is protected as a copyrightable work; or a work performed by
+    a variety or circus performer to the extent it is not otherwise
+    considered a literary or artistic work.
+ g. "You" means an individual or entity exercising rights under this
+    License who has not previously violated the terms of this License with
+    respect to the Work, or who has received express permission from the
+    Licensor to exercise rights under this License despite a previous
+    violation.
+ h. "Publicly Perform" means to perform public recitations of the Work and
+    to communicate to the public those public recitations, by any means or
+    process, including by wire or wireless means or public digital
+    performances; to make available to the public Works in such a way that
+    members of the public may access these Works from a place and at a
+    place individually chosen by them; to perform the Work to the public
+    by any means or process and the communication to the public of the
+    performances of the Work, including by public digital performance; to
+    broadcast and rebroadcast the Work by any means including signs,
+    sounds or images.
+ i. "Reproduce" means to make copies of the Work by any means including
+    without limitation by sound or visual recordings and the right of
+    fixation and reproducing fixations of the Work, including storage of a
+    protected performance or phonogram in digital form or other electronic
+    medium.
+
+2. Fair Dealing Rights. Nothing in this License is intended to reduce,
+limit, or restrict any uses free from copyright or rights arising from
+limitations or exceptions that are provided for in connection with the
+copyright protection under copyright law or other applicable laws.
+
+3. License Grant. Subject to the terms and conditions of this License,
+Licensor hereby grants You a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive,
+perpetual (for the duration of the applicable copyright) license to
+exercise the rights in the Work as stated below:
+
+ a. to Reproduce the Work, to incorporate the Work into one or more
+    Collections, and to Reproduce the Work as incorporated in the
+    Collections;
+ b. to create and Reproduce Adaptations provided that any such Adaptation,
+    including any translation in any medium, takes reasonable steps to
+    clearly label, demarcate or otherwise identify that changes were made
+    to the original Work. For example, a translation could be marked "The
+    original work was translated from English to Spanish," or a
+    modification could indicate "The original work has been modified.";
+ c. to Distribute and Publicly Perform the Work including as incorporated
+    in Collections; and,
+ d. to Distribute and Publicly Perform Adaptations.
+ e. For the avoidance of doubt:
+
+     i. Non-waivable Compulsory License Schemes. In those jurisdictions in
+        which the right to collect royalties through any statutory or
+        compulsory licensing scheme cannot be waived, the Licensor
+        reserves the exclusive right to collect such royalties for any
+        exercise by You of the rights granted under this License;
+    ii. Waivable Compulsory License Schemes. In those jurisdictions in
+        which the right to collect royalties through any statutory or
+        compulsory licensing scheme can be waived, the Licensor waives the
+        exclusive right to collect such royalties for any exercise by You
+        of the rights granted under this License; and,
+   iii. Voluntary License Schemes. The Licensor waives the right to
+        collect royalties, whether individually or, in the event that the
+        Licensor is a member of a collecting society that administers
+        voluntary licensing schemes, via that society, from any exercise
+        by You of the rights granted under this License.
+
+The above rights may be exercised in all media and formats whether now
+known or hereafter devised. The above rights include the right to make
+such modifications as are technically necessary to exercise the rights in
+other media and formats. Subject to Section 8(f), all rights not expressly
+granted by Licensor are hereby reserved.
+
+4. Restrictions. The license granted in Section 3 above is expressly made
+subject to and limited by the following restrictions:
+
+ a. You may Distribute or Publicly Perform the Work only under the terms
+    of this License. You must include a copy of, or the Uniform Resource
+    Identifier (URI) for, this License with every copy of the Work You
+    Distribute or Publicly Perform. You may not offer or impose any terms
+    on the Work that restrict the terms of this License or the ability of
+    the recipient of the Work to exercise the rights granted to that
+    recipient under the terms of the License. You may not sublicense the
+    Work. You must keep intact all notices that refer to this License and
+    to the disclaimer of warranties with every copy of the Work You
+    Distribute or Publicly Perform. When You Distribute or Publicly
+    Perform the Work, You may not impose any effective technological
+    measures on the Work that restrict the ability of a recipient of the
+    Work from You to exercise the rights granted to that recipient under
+    the terms of the License. This Section 4(a) applies to the Work as
+    incorporated in a Collection, but this does not require the Collection
+    apart from the Work itself to be made subject to the terms of this
+    License. If You create a Collection, upon notice from any Licensor You
+    must, to the extent practicable, remove from the Collection any credit
+    as required by Section 4(b), as requested. If You create an
+    Adaptation, upon notice from any Licensor You must, to the extent
+    practicable, remove from the Adaptation any credit as required by
+    Section 4(b), as requested.
+ b. If You Distribute, or Publicly Perform the Work or any Adaptations or
+    Collections, You must, unless a request has been made pursuant to
+    Section 4(a), keep intact all copyright notices for the Work and
+    provide, reasonable to the medium or means You are utilizing: (i) the
+    name of the Original Author (or pseudonym, if applicable) if supplied,
+    and/or if the Original Author and/or Licensor designate another party
+    or parties (e.g., a sponsor institute, publishing entity, journal) for
+    attribution ("Attribution Parties") in Licensor's copyright notice,
+    terms of service or by other reasonable means, the name of such party
+    or parties; (ii) the title of the Work if supplied; (iii) to the
+    extent reasonably practicable, the URI, if any, that Licensor
+    specifies to be associated with the Work, unless such URI does not
+    refer to the copyright notice or licensing information for the Work;
+    and (iv) , consistent with Section 3(b), in the case of an Adaptation,
+    a credit identifying the use of the Work in the Adaptation (e.g.,
+    "French translation of the Work by Original Author," or "Screenplay
+    based on original Work by Original Author"). The credit required by
+    this Section 4 (b) may be implemented in any reasonable manner;
+    provided, however, that in the case of a Adaptation or Collection, at
+    a minimum such credit will appear, if a credit for all contributing
+    authors of the Adaptation or Collection appears, then as part of these
+    credits and in a manner at least as prominent as the credits for the
+    other contributing authors. For the avoidance of doubt, You may only
+    use the credit required by this Section for the purpose of attribution
+    in the manner set out above and, by exercising Your rights under this
+    License, You may not implicitly or explicitly assert or imply any
+    connection with, sponsorship or endorsement by the Original Author,
+    Licensor and/or Attribution Parties, as appropriate, of You or Your
+    use of the Work, without the separate, express prior written
+    permission of the Original Author, Licensor and/or Attribution
+    Parties.
+ c. Except as otherwise agreed in writing by the Licensor or as may be
+    otherwise permitted by applicable law, if You Reproduce, Distribute or
+    Publicly Perform the Work either by itself or as part of any
+    Adaptations or Collections, You must not distort, mutilate, modify or
+    take other derogatory action in relation to the Work which would be
+    prejudicial to the Original Author's honor or reputation. Licensor
+    agrees that in those jurisdictions (e.g. Japan), in which any exercise
+    of the right granted in Section 3(b) of this License (the right to
+    make Adaptations) would be deemed to be a distortion, mutilation,
+    modification or other derogatory action prejudicial to the Original
+    Author's honor and reputation, the Licensor will waive or not assert,
+    as appropriate, this Section, to the fullest extent permitted by the
+    applicable national law, to enable You to reasonably exercise Your
+    right under Section 3(b) of this License (right to make Adaptations)
+    but not otherwise.
+
+5. Representations, Warranties and Disclaimer
+
+UNLESS OTHERWISE MUTUALLY AGREED TO BY THE PARTIES IN WRITING, LICENSOR
+OFFERS THE WORK AS-IS AND MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY
+KIND CONCERNING THE WORK, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE,
+INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF TITLE, MERCHANTIBILITY,
+FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NONINFRINGEMENT, OR THE ABSENCE OF
+LATENT OR OTHER DEFECTS, ACCURACY, OR THE PRESENCE OF ABSENCE OF ERRORS,
+WHETHER OR NOT DISCOVERABLE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION
+OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO SUCH EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
+
+6. Limitation on Liability. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE
+LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL LICENSOR BE LIABLE TO YOU ON ANY LEGAL THEORY FOR
+ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES
+ARISING OUT OF THIS LICENSE OR THE USE OF THE WORK, EVEN IF LICENSOR HAS
+BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
+
+7. Termination
+
+ a. This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate
+    automatically upon any breach by You of the terms of this License.
+    Individuals or entities who have received Adaptations or Collections
+    from You under this License, however, will not have their licenses
+    terminated provided such individuals or entities remain in full
+    compliance with those licenses. Sections 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, and 8 will
+    survive any termination of this License.
+ b. Subject to the above terms and conditions, the license granted here is
+    perpetual (for the duration of the applicable copyright in the Work).
+    Notwithstanding the above, Licensor reserves the right to release the
+    Work under different license terms or to stop distributing the Work at
+    any time; provided, however that any such election will not serve to
+    withdraw this License (or any other license that has been, or is
+    required to be, granted under the terms of this License), and this
+    License will continue in full force and effect unless terminated as
+    stated above.
+
+8. Miscellaneous
+
+ a. Each time You Distribute or Publicly Perform the Work or a Collection,
+    the Licensor offers to the recipient a license to the Work on the same
+    terms and conditions as the license granted to You under this License.
+ b. Each time You Distribute or Publicly Perform an Adaptation, Licensor
+    offers to the recipient a license to the original Work on the same
+    terms and conditions as the license granted to You under this License.
+ c. If any provision of this License is invalid or unenforceable under
+    applicable law, it shall not affect the validity or enforceability of
+    the remainder of the terms of this License, and without further action
+    by the parties to this agreement, such provision shall be reformed to
+    the minimum extent necessary to make such provision valid and
+    enforceable.
+ d. No term or provision of this License shall be deemed waived and no
+    breach consented to unless such waiver or consent shall be in writing
+    and signed by the party to be charged with such waiver or consent.
+ e. This License constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with
+    respect to the Work licensed here. There are no understandings,
+    agreements or representations with respect to the Work not specified
+    here. Licensor shall not be bound by any additional provisions that
+    may appear in any communication from You. This License may not be
+    modified without the mutual written agreement of the Licensor and You.
+ f. The rights granted under, and the subject matter referenced, in this
+    License were drafted utilizing the terminology of the Berne Convention
+    for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works (as amended on
+    September 28, 1979), the Rome Convention of 1961, the WIPO Copyright
+    Treaty of 1996, the WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty of 1996
+    and the Universal Copyright Convention (as revised on July 24, 1971).
+    These rights and subject matter take effect in the relevant
+    jurisdiction in which the License terms are sought to be enforced
+    according to the corresponding provisions of the implementation of
+    those treaty provisions in the applicable national law. If the
+    standard suite of rights granted under applicable copyright law
+    includes additional rights not granted under this License, such
+    additional rights are deemed to be included in the License; this
+    License is not intended to restrict the license of any rights under
+    applicable law.

+
+      "Work" shall mean the work of authorship, whether in Source or
+      Object form, made available under the License, as indicated by a
+      copyright notice that is included in or attached to the work
+      (an example is provided in the Appendix below).
+
+      "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
+      form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
+      editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
+      represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
+      of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain
+      separable from, or merely link (or bind by name) to the interfaces of,
+      the Work and Derivative Works thereof.
+
+      "Contribution" shall mean any work of authorship, including

+
+      "Contributor" shall mean Licensor and any individual or Legal Entity
+      on behalf of whom a Contribution has been received by Licensor and

+   2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable

+
+   3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,

+      (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,
+      use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,

+      by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
+      Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
+      with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
+      institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
+      cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
+      or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
+      or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
+      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
+      as of the date such litigation is filed.
+
+   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
+      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
+      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
+      meet the following conditions:
+
+      (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
+          Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
+
+      (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
+          stating that You changed the files; and
+
+      (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
+          that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
+          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
+          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+          the Derivative Works; and
+
+      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
+          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
+          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
+          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
+          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
+          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+          as modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

 - **Polygon/Star count persistence:** Exact-size placement saves the chosen count for later drags and reopening the existing canvas dialog. Regression coverage includes both tools, repeated drags, switching tools and Cancel. The remaining G1 scope and estimates are unchanged.
 
+- **Open and closed pan cursors use normalized redistributable contours with explicit provenance and procedural fallbacks:** Cursor regression coverage checks normalized contour decoding, complete tessellation, DPI variants and solid white palms. Procedural fallbacks remain in the source. The open hand is original contributor-generated artwork; the closed hand adapts Claudio Guglieri's Close Hand under CC BY 3.0. Private source artwork and metadata are excluded; ASSETS.md, NOTICE, About and adjacent license texts retain attribution. Broader scope and estimates unchanged.

Original-file acceptance confirmed 2026-10-19; broader G1 scope and estimates unchanged. Sample widths are cached by language, document unit and pixels per point rather than remeasured every frame.
 
 - **Canvas review follow-up:** Cached canvas dimensions match the renderer limit before cache-key creation, view construction and worker submission. Controlled-worker regression checks oversized width and height, high DPI and the render transform without allocating oversized images. G1 scope and estimates are unchanged.

+## Feature submission evidence
+
+**Feature evidence last updated:** 2026-10-21.
+
+The shared assessment status line and revision table retain the feature-base snapshot; merging retains upstream's current shared assessment and history. This dated section records the submission's feature evidence and does not rescore upstream or claim a new combined build or runtime measurement.
+
+- Current-main conflict reconciliation retains upstream and feature behavior; scores and estimates unchanged
+- Open and closed pan cursors use normalized redistributable contours with explicit provenance and procedural fallbacks
+
+- Open Hand uses a wider spread-finger contour from contributor text-only Gemini generation; the closed grip uses a Gemini-assisted adaptation of the current licensed hand with its original attribution retained; scores and estimates unchanged.
+
+### Feature revisions
+
+| Date | Change | Summary |
+|---|---|---|

 **Drawing tools — Polygon and Star counts:** The existing canvas placement dialog reads the stored count and saves it only after successful placement. `polygon_and_star_canvas_counts_persist_without_new_toolbar_dialogs` covers both tools, repeated drags, tool switching, reopening and Cancel. Counts remain session tool options. Existing click and toolbar gestures are retained; no score or hour change.
 
 **Live trace result bounds and selection highlights exclude the retained bitmap except in source-image views:** `live_trace_result_bounds_exclude_the_retained_bitmap_at_any_angle` checks every TraceView, geometric and visual bounds and rotated result bounds. `live_trace_selection_highlight_excludes_the_retained_source_rectangle` checks result highlights and the existing ordinary-group policy. Shared editing-child traversal also preserves Shaper handling.
+**Open and closed pan cursors use normalized redistributable contours with explicit provenance and procedural fallbacks:** Cursor regression coverage checks normalized contour decoding, complete tessellation, DPI variants and solid white palms. Procedural fallbacks remain in the source. The open hand is original contributor-generated artwork; the closed hand adapts Claudio Guglieri's Close Hand under CC BY 3.0. Private source artwork and metadata are excluded; ASSETS.md, NOTICE, About and adjacent license texts retain attribution.

 - **Stable status-bar readouts:** The status message keeps its left anchor and clipping allocation as live values, canvas hover and background-job state change. Coordinate and spinner slots stay reserved; narrow windows hide optional diagnostics, then coordinates, to preserve message space. Widths are measured from the active font, translated labels and fixed numeric samples, never current readings. Coordinates through +/-9999.99 selected units, timings through 9999.9 ms and FPS through 9999 remain readable. Extreme values are elided with full tooltip/accessibility text; only elided fields show a tooltip. Coordinate inspection retains the last point per document and clears on PointerGone. Regressions cover message origin/clip/bounds/elision invariance, all registered languages and ten units, responsive layouts, coordinate inspection and document switching, and accessible busy transitions. The contributor rebuilt and confirmed the original status-bar issue is fixed with their own artwork on 2026-10-19; the subsequent upstream rebase is checked by regressions and full CI. The artwork stays local. Scores and estimates are unchanged. Sample widths use a bounded single-entry UI cache keyed by language, unit and pixels per point; two regressions verify reuse during live updates and invalidation after each display-setting change.
 
 - **Canvas review follow-up:** Cached canvas dimensions match the renderer limit before cache-key creation, view construction and worker submission. Controlled-worker regression checks oversized width and height, high DPI and the render transform without allocating oversized images. Scores and estimates are unchanged.

 How VectorCraft's tools, handles, snapping and panels behave next to Illustrator's. A vector illustrator's
 trust is in the details: where a handle lands, what Shift and Alt do mid-drag, what a smart guide snaps to,
 how far an arrow key nudges. This checklist is the work list for the **interaction-fidelity pass**
