Shape Modes: Alt-click works in Properties and the task bar (#6333) - #6415
The Properties panel's Shape Mode buttons (Unite, Minus Front, Intersect, Exclude) and the Contextual Task Bar's Unite ran object.pathfinder.* directly. So Alt-click, the "Shape Mode Buttons Make Compound Shapes" setting and selected compound-shape members only worked from the Pathfinder panel; elsewhere Alt-click flattened the shapes.
This makes pathfinder::shape_mode()pub(crate) and routes both through it, as the issue suggests, so every Shape Mode button behaves the same:
panels/properties.rs: the four buttons call shape_mode() with the matching ShapeMode and whether compound-shape members are selected.
canvas/task_bar.rs: Unite gets a taskBar.unite id and goes through shape_mode() in the dispatch match, like the other task-bar-only buttons.
docs/ui-parity.md: compound-shapes row and a dated note.
How it was tested
New headless egui tests, both failing on main at the Alt-click assertion and passing with this change:
panels::pathfinder::tests::the_properties_panel_shape_modes_follow_alt_the_setting_and_selected_members: click / Alt-click Unite in the Properties panel with the setting off and on, and Minus Front with both members of a compound shape selected.
canvas::tests::the_task_bar_unite_makes_a_compound_shape_on_alt_click: click vs Alt-click on the task bar's Unite.
The existing Pathfinder panel tests still pass (the click helper now takes the panel to draw; the panel's own tests call it unchanged).
Locally on Windows 11 (rebased on cd9dc52c): fmt, clippy -D warnings, test --workspace (17,124 passed), ui-egui doctests, layers, assets, brands, cursors and wasm all pass. One test fails on this machine on main too, unrelated to this change: vectorcraft-texttests::harakat::coloured_harakat_keep_kashida (left: 37, right: 33), which uses the system's Arial. Not checked by hand in the running app.
Checklist
cargo xtask ci passes (fmt, clippy, tests, assets, brands, layers, wasm), except the pre-existing Arial-dependent test above.
No panics in shipped code: no unwrap(), expect(), panic!, unreachable!, todo! or unimplemented! outside tests, and no unchecked indexing on data from files, parameters or

Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Properties Shape Mode controls and Contextual Task Bar Unite now follow Pathfinder’s click and Alt-click behavior.
With no compound-shape members selected, Alt-click creates a compound shape and a regular click produces a permanent result; the Compound Shapes setting reverses these outcomes.
When compound-shape members are selected, a regular click applies the chosen mode to those members, while Alt-click creates a compound shape. Unite applies Add mode to selected members.
Documentation
Updated the UI parity guide, roadmap, and target-app parity guide with these behaviors.
…d#6333)
The Properties panel's Unite, Minus Front, Intersect and Exclude buttons
and the Contextual Task Bar's Unite ran the permanent object.pathfinder.*
command directly. They ignored Alt, the "Shape Mode Buttons Make Compound
Shapes" setting and selected compound-shape members, which only the
Pathfinder panel honoured.
Make pathfinder::shape_mode() pub(crate) and route both through it, so
every Shape Mode button behaves the same.
Tests: the_properties_panel_shape_modes_follow_alt_the_setting_and_selected_members
and the_task_bar_unite_makes_a_compound_shape_on_alt_click both fail on
main at the Alt-click assertion and pass with this change; the existing
Pathfinder panel tests still pass. Run on Windows 11.
It looks like this branch is under active development. To avoid overwhelming you with review comments due to an influx of new commits, CodeRabbit has automatically paused this review. You can configure this behavior by changing the reviews.auto_review.auto_pause_after_reviewed_commits setting.
Properties Shape Mode buttons and Contextual Task Bar Unite now use Pathfinder’s shared Shape Mode handling. Tests cover click and Alt-click behavior, the Compound Shapes setting, and selected compound-shape members.
Changes: Shape Mode parity
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Route controls through Shape Mode crates/ui-egui/src/panels/pathfinder.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/panels/properties.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/canvas/task_bar.rs
The shared handler is crate-visible. Properties Shape Mode buttons pass their operation, mode, and selected-member state to it. Contextual Task Bar Unite uses the same handler with ShapeMode::Add.
Single-member behavior differs from the parity descriptions, but the remaining risk is bounded. Correct the documentation and strengthen the button tests.

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
Positional zip between the buttons and ShapeMode::ALL is fragile.
Line 103 pairs the four buttons with ShapeMode::ALL by position. If someone reorders ALL, each button silently takes the wrong mode. No compile error occurs. Put the ShapeMode in each button tuple instead. This also removes the need for the zip.

The four buttons took their ShapeMode by zipping with ShapeMode::ALL, so
reordering ALL would silently give a button the wrong mode. Each tuple
now names its mode. No behaviour change; pathfinder and task bar tests
still pass.
Covers the third shape_mode() path from the task bar: two members set
to Minus Front take Add on Unite and the compound shape is kept. The
test fails if the task bar passes members = false (checked locally).

The storytold#6333 notes said Alt-click makes a compound shape without saying
that the Compound Shapes setting reverses click and Alt-click, or that
with members selected a click sets their mode. Spell out the three cases
as shape_mode() implements them, in the notes and revision rows of all
three docs. Scores and estimates unchanged.
With the setting on, a click on the task bar's Unite makes a compound
shape and Alt-click gives the permanent result. The task bar test only
covered the default, so a regression in the swapped case went unseen.
Passes locally with the pathfinder panel tests.
The compound-shapes evidence and the Compound Shapes add-on row said
Alt-click makes a compound shape and that selected members take the
clicked mode, without saying the setting swaps click and Alt-click or
that Alt-click on selected members makes a compound shape of them.
Match shape_mode(). Scores and estimates unchanged.
Test Alt-click on selected members with the setting on.
Click a Properties Shape Mode button with Alt and assert that it creates a nested compound shape. The current assertions do not catch routing selected members to the permanent operation in this case.

The compound-shapes evidence read as if Alt-click were "lit for the mode
they share"; it is the button of the members' shared mode that lights.
The Compound Shapes add-on revision row said selected members always
take the clicked mode; Alt-click on them makes a compound shape instead.
Scores and estimates unchanged.
With the Compound Shapes setting on and members of a compound shape
selected, Alt-click on a Shape Mode makes a compound shape of them,
nested in the first, rather than the permanent operation. Neither the
Properties panel test nor the task bar test covered that case; both now
count every compound shape in the document. Both pass locally.

Qualify the selected-member parity claim.
With one compound-shape member selected, the Properties panel and task bar do not show these buttons. The Pathfinder panel does. The stated parity can therefore direct readers to unavailable controls. Document this exception or make the controls available for a single member. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Qualify the selected-member parity claim around the Properties panel and
Contextual Task Bar controls: with a single compound-shape member selected,
those controls are unavailable while Pathfinder still shows the mode buttons.
Document this exception in the parity description, or make the controls
available for a single selected member and preserve the stated shared handling.

Thanks @BilalWalker, the change looks good and I've approved it! Another PR just landed rows in docs/roadmap.md and docs/target-app-parity.md, so those two conflict now (the code merges cleanly). Could you merge or rebase onto main once more? CI then runs after a maintainer approves it for a first PR, and I'll merge it when it's green.
Sorry @BilalWalker, #6349 just landed in docs/target-app-parity.md, so that file conflicts again (the code is fine). Could you merge main in once more? The progress docs move fast, so a conflict there never blocks the review; I'll merge as soon as it's mergeable and CI is green.
Add focused assertions for each button’s permanent operation and compound-shape mode. The current test checks Minus Front’s selected-member mode, but it does not click Intersect or Exclude. Its Unite assertions check counts, not the operation or mode.

| **Align Stroke on live type** | beyond Illustrator | The Stroke panel's Align Stroke works on type's character stroke: inside or outside the glyphs without Create Outlines, the type staying editable (as InDesign does; users have asked Illustrator for it since 2010, e.g. [redd.it/1dwhos6](https://redd.it/1dwhos6)). Canvas, PDF and EPS clip it to its side of the glyphs; SVG keeps the text live and draws the stroke on the glyph outlines (#2294) |
| **Contour add-on** | beyond Illustrator | Drag away from a selected shape's edge to grow a live copy of it, or toward the inside to shrink it (Shift: whole points); the copy carries a live Offset Path effect so it stays editable, with its own fill and stroke, until Bake (Expand Appearance). A second drag on a selected Contour changes it instead of nesting another; Escape cancels. A floating bar above the selection sets the distance and the corners (Sharp, Round, Square); `addon.contour.set` makes or changes one over MCP and the control channel. The tool is in Object › Plug-ins › Contour and under its own heading in All Tools, with no default shortcut or toolbar slot. Two Contours baked and combined with Minus Front give a border with a gap. Paths, shapes and compound paths only; type isn't offset. Tests: `crates/engine/src/cmd/addons/contour/tests.rs`, `crates/ui-egui/src/canvas/tests.rs` |
| **Compound Shapes add-on** | beyond Illustrator | Object › Plug-ins › Compound Shapes puts Make, Release and Expand Compound Shape in the menus, and holds a setting (off by default) that swaps the Pathfinder panel's Shape Mode buttons: a click makes a compound shape and Alt-click gives the permanent result. Selected members of a compound shape always take the clicked mode; the setting is kept with the preferences. Tests: `panels::pathfinder::tests` in `crates/ui-egui/src/panels/pathfinder.rs` |
| **Compound Shapes add-on** | beyond Illustrator | Object › Plug-ins › Compound Shapes puts Make, Release and Expand Compound Shape in the menus, and holds a setting (off by default) that swaps the Pathfinder panel's Shape Mode buttons: a click makes a compound shape and Alt-click gives the permanent result. Selected members of a compound shape take the clicked mode on a plain click whatever the setting, and Alt-click makes a compound shape of them; the setting is kept with the preferences. Tests: `panels::pathfinder::tests` in `crates/ui-egui/src/panels/pathfinder.rs` |

Qualify the Alt-click claim.
With one path member selected, the Pathfinder buttons are enabled, but Alt-click cannot create a compound shape: object.compoundShape.make requires at least two objects. Qualify this claim and the repeated claims elsewhere in the docs. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Sorry @BilalWalker, another round: a PR just landed in docs/roadmap.md and docs/target-app-parity.md, so they conflict again (the code is fine and still approved). Could you merge main in once more? These progress docs change with almost every merge, so I'm merging approved PRs in the order they turn green after a rebase.
Merged main again (e0df9ff). CI hasn't started yet because the workflows are waiting for maintainer approval (first-time contributor), so it needs an "Approve and run" before it can turn green.

What and why
Fixes #6333.
The Properties panel's Shape Mode buttons (Unite, Minus Front, Intersect, Exclude) and the Contextual Task Bar's Unite ran
object.pathfinder.*directly. So Alt-click, the "Shape Mode Buttons Make Compound Shapes" setting and selected compound-shape members only worked from the Pathfinder panel; elsewhere Alt-click flattened the shapes.This makes
pathfinder::shape_mode()pub(crate)and routes both through it, as the issue suggests, so every Shape Mode button behaves the same:panels/properties.rs: the four buttons callshape_mode()with the matchingShapeModeand whether compound-shape members are selected.canvas/task_bar.rs: Unite gets ataskBar.uniteid and goes throughshape_mode()in the dispatchmatch, like the other task-bar-only buttons.docs/ui-parity.md: compound-shapes row and a dated note.How it was tested
New headless egui tests, both failing on
mainat the Alt-click assertion and passing with this change:panels::pathfinder::tests::the_properties_panel_shape_modes_follow_alt_the_setting_and_selected_members: click / Alt-click Unite in the Properties panel with the setting off and on, and Minus Front with both members of a compound shape selected.canvas::tests::the_task_bar_unite_makes_a_compound_shape_on_alt_click: click vs Alt-click on the task bar's Unite.The existing Pathfinder panel tests still pass (the click helper now takes the panel to draw; the panel's own tests call it unchanged).
