* feat: author behaviours on main components
A main component or component set can behave as a Switch, Checkbox,
Slider, or Tabs, after Reka UI's primitives. The behaviour lives in
OpenPencil plugin data: boolean values bind to variant or boolean
properties with the values meaning on and off, a number keeps its own
range since Figma has no number property, and the control's
subcomponents bind to the component's slots. A Behaviour section in the
properties panel adds, binds, and removes it, each as one undo step,
and flags required bindings that are missing. The canvas-only layout's
pill becomes a component that preview will reuse.
* feat: preview instances with behaviours on the canvas
View > Preview (Cmd+Alt+Enter) puts the canvas in preview: a lone canvas
switches to the canvas-only layout with a Previewing pill, and a split
canvas previews on its own side. Clicking a Switch or Checkbox flips it,
dragging a Slider moves its thumb and range, and clicking a Tabs trigger
shows its panel. Preview keeps its state on copies of the instances it
touched, in a private graph with the document's ids, and the canvas
draws those copies in place of the originals, so the document, undo,
autosave, and collaborators never see it. Escape or the pill leaves
preview, Reset restores every control, and editing shortcuts, labels,
and outlines stay off while previewing.
* feat: translate behaviour and preview strings; cover preview with an e2e flow
* refactor(vue): reuse VariantDefinitionControl for behaviour property options
* refactor: split variant actions and preview interactions by domain
Variant authoring was one 706-line closure; it is now graph queries
(model), undo snapshots (history), property definition edits
(definitions), and the editor facade (index). Preview interactions move
into play/kinds, one module per control, registered by behaviour kind so
a new kind cannot ship without its contract and interaction. Behaviour
contracts are keyed by kind. In the Vue SDK, slot and variant authoring
controls get their own folders beside component-props and behaviour,
and the app's variant section joins slot/ and behaviour/.
* refactor: keep the behaviour model in scene-graph's plugin-data registry
Master now defines every OpenPencil plugin-data key in one typed registry
in scene-graph. The behaviour schema registers there as a field, and the
model and contracts move beside slots, exported from the package root;
the @open-pencil/core/behaviours subpath is gone.
* feat: interaction states and keyboard focus in preview
A behaviour can bind a variant property to the default, hover, pressed,
focus, and disabled states; binding it maps values named like those
states. Preview switches the instance's copy to the matching variant as
the pointer hovers, presses, and releases, keeps other values when the
set draws the combination and falls back to rest otherwise, and skips
disabled instances. Tab moves visible keyboard focus between controls,
Space, Enter, arrows, Home, and End use the focused one, and Escape
takes visible focus off before leaving preview. A Button kind covers
controls that only have states.
* feat: toggle, radio, group, progress, collapsible, and accordion behaviours
Radio group, toggle group, and accordion hold their items in a slot;
each item is an instance with its own behaviour, so a press inside the
slot goes to the group, which turns the pressed item on and the others
off through the item's own interaction. Progress shares the slider's
number handling through rangeControl, and a collapsible shows and hides
its content slot from its trigger, remembering its open state even
when no property draws it. Tabs and groups share arrow-key navigation.
* feat: text field, textarea, and number field behaviours
A behaviour value can now be text, bound to a text property, so
preview types into a copy of the field through the same property path
the editor uses. A bound Filled value switches to the placeholder
variant when the field empties. A number field keeps its own range,
shows its value through a text property, and steps from its increment
and decrement slots and the arrow keys. Text fields show focus from a
click, and the focused control receives every key; Option still types,
and only Cmd or Ctrl combinations stay shortcuts.
* fix: keep behaviour bindings when saving as .fig
Saving as .fig gives component properties new GUIDs, but behaviours
kept the old ids in their plugin data, so every binding read as missing
after reopening. The export now renames the ids behaviours bind with
the same GUIDs, on its own copy of the document.
* fix: let previewed controls resize layout imported from .fig
Layers from a .fig keep the sizes Figma computed, and auto layout
prefers them, so an opened collapsible or accordion item kept its
closed height in preview. When preview shows, hides, or retypes a
layer in a copy, it drops those sizes from the layer's copied ancestors
so auto layout sizes them again; untouched layers keep Figma's sizes.
* fix: publish behaviours and other plugin content with library assets
Every OpenPencil plugin-data field now declares its role: content that
exists only as plugin data (behaviours, OkHCL picks), format copies of
node fields written for files, or bookkeeping about where a document
or node came from. Library snapshots keep a node's content plugin data,
including other plugins' entries, and drop the rest; the asset hash
counts the same entries, so a behaviour-only change is offered as an
update while a .fig round trip still changes nothing.
* feat: name behaviour rows by meaning and create what they need
The Behaviour section named every main value "Value" under a "Values"
heading, and a component without matching properties left an empty
picker with no way forward. Rows are now named for the control (On,
Checked, Pressed, Text), rows the control needs or already uses come
first, and the optional rest folds under More options; a button keeps
its states in view. An empty row creates what it needs in one undo
step: a text layer and text property, Off and On variants on a set, or
a slot frame for a part. The missing chip names the row it means and
takes you there.
* fix(dom-css): position free layers, hug content, and round ellipses
HTML and Tailwind export stacked the layers of frames without auto
layout in block flow, wrote fixed pixel sizes for auto layout frames
set to Hug and for auto-sizing text, and drew ellipses as boxes. Layers
a parent does not lay out are now absolutely positioned at their
coordinates inside a relative frame, hugging axes are left to the
content, and ellipses get a 50% radius.
* feat: run preview as live Reka UI islands over the canvas
Preview simulated controls on the canvas: copies of instances, a
handler per kind, its own key routing, and append-only text. It now
runs them as real components. Each top-level layer that holds an
instance with a behaviour becomes an island: its layers are projected
to DOM through dom-css into a shadow root laid over the pane at its pan
and zoom, and each behaviour mounts its Reka UI primitives on its
layers, so text fields are real inputs and focus, keys, and layout are
the browser's. Core's resolvePlayState shows instances in a state on a
private graph, so the component's variants draw it, and controls are
keyed by layer path so a variant switch keeps their DOM. The canvas
leaves island layers to the islands, and the canvas play runtime and
its key routing are gone.
* fix: derive variant properties from Property=Value component names
figma.combineAsVariants and Combine as variants only derived variant
properties from slash-separated names, so components named as Figma
names variants, such as State=On, Size=Large, became a set with no
properties. Both now derive each named property and its values, after
the slash form.
* feat: script and tool access to behaviours by name
Behaviour contracts follow Reka UI's anatomy: tabs keep their triggers
in the list slot and their content panels in a panels slot, and a slot
of repeated parts names the Reka part of its children. A behaviour
spec names component properties and slots instead of ids and resolves
to the stored behaviour and back, with errors that list what the
component has.
Scripts get an `openpencil` global next to `figma`, in the Figma API's
style: setBehaviour, getBehaviour with bindValue, bindPart, states,
and missing, behaviourKinds, and createSlot. The eval tool, the CLI,
and app automation compile scripts through one compileScript, so the
CLI now returns the last expression as the others do. MCP and AI chat
get set_behaviour, get_behaviour, and create_slot.
* feat: write controls in design JSX with Reka UI's element names
`<Switch.Root modelValue="State">` renders a main component, or a set
when its children are variants, that behaves as a switch, and
`<Switch.Thumb>` the slot that draws its thumb, one slot across the
set's variants. Inputs become the text property of a field, tab
triggers and panels go in their List and Panels slots, and a group's
items are `<RadioGroup.Item of={…} />` instances in its Items slot.
JSX export writes components with behaviours the same way, so they
render back unchanged. The authoring reference documents controls, and
the codegen and chat prompts now include it verbatim instead of
dedenting its code examples.
* chore: format the CLI export test
* docs: document slots, behaviours, preview, and the openpencil API
The components guide covers slots, behaviours, and preview with its
shortcut; scripting covers the openpencil global and eval's last-
expression result; the MCP and AI chat pages list the new tools; the
features overview, README, and roadmap mention working controls. The
chat prompt says how to build a control, and the codegen prompt builds
components with behaviours on their Reka UI primitives.
* chore: format the eval CLI test
* docs: explain behaviours and preview islands, and guide the openpencil API
A development page explains the behaviour model, the four authoring
surfaces, how preview islands turn a control's state into live Reka UI
components, and how to add a kind; the architecture page links it. The
Core guide sets the rules for OpenPencilAPI: Figma-only `figma`,
OpenPencil features on `openpencil` in the same style, one
compileScript, names over ids, and docs with every member. Package
READMEs mention the openpencil global, PlayIslands, Reka-named JSX, and
the behaviour model. Design JSX's behaviour modules move into a
behaviours folder instead of a suffixed sibling.
* refactor: center pasted layers through translate
centerNodesAt repeated translate's loop, which test:dupes reports on
master too.
* fix: validate behaviour ranges and guess on and off by name
A number value now needs max above min and a positive step: the schema,
specs, and the panel reject a range a slider cannot step through. Binding
a variant property guesses on and off by value name, as specs do, and a
boolean property gets no on/off pair. Part bindings are read through
partBinding, a replaced document restarts preview from its designed
state, and the e2e preview shortcut uses ControlOrMeta.
* feat: make the Behaviour section say what to do next
A slider's range fields now carry inline Min, Max, Step, and Start labels.
States offers Add state variants, which adds a Default, Hover, Pressed,
Focus, and Disabled variant and binds them; Add Off and On variants and
Add state variants turn a lone main component into a component set first,
and a part's slot can be added to a set, in every variant under one slot
id. Rows that could do nothing are gone: no empty pickers and no hints to
combine variants by hand, and an unbound Disabled is left to the states.
A warning line names what is still needed and replaces the missing chip,
and the Switch's main value is called Checked.
* fix: keep each slot to one part and keep creating slots at hand
A slot draws one part, so the Behaviour section no longer offers a slot
another part uses, and specs (the openpencil API, tools, and JSX) reject
binding one slot to two parts. A part's picker keeps an action to add a
new slot in its footer, so adding the first slot no longer hides it for
the other parts.
* fix(core): let fill text share an auto-layout row
Fill frames grow and shrink from a zero flex basis, so fill siblings split a row's free space. Fill text only got flexGrow, and its measure function capped it at its stored width, 100px for new text, so seven fill labels in a 280px row each kept 100px and overflowed. Without a measurer, the fallback pinned that width and set no grow at all. Fill text now uses the same zero basis as fill frames on both paths.
* fix(design-jsx): read repeat() and minmax() in grid tracks
Track lists were split on whitespace, so columns="repeat(7, 1fr)" became the tracks repeat(7, and 1fr), read as fixed 0px and 1px columns that collapsed the grid. Tokens inside parentheses now stay together, repeat() expands its tracks, minmax() grows like its maximum, and a track the grid cannot express sizes to its content instead of to 0.
* refactor(scene-graph): parse CSS grid tracks with postcss-value-parser
design-jsx read repeat() and minmax() with a hand-written tokenizer and regexes, while dom-css already parses CSS values with postcss-value-parser. Track lists are now parsed in @open-pencil/scene-graph/css on that library, where both packages can use it, and design-jsx calls it. dom-css's hand-written declaration of the library's types is replaced by the types the library ships, which the shared module needs. The Scene Graph guide records that CSS values are parsed there.
* fix(dom-css): read shadows, borders, and lengths with the shared CSS parser
dom-css tried each word of a shadow as a color and parseColor turned the leading 0 into black, so a shadow written in the usual order imported black, and the headless runtime split the border shorthand on spaces, which cut rgb(226, 232, 240) apart and also gave a black border. Numbers, colors, shadow lists, and shorthand parts are now parsed in @open-pencil/scene-graph/css on postcss-value-parser. Every shadow layer imports, inset ones as inner shadows, a fully transparent color counts as none, and lengths in units that depend on context, such as % or em, are no longer read as pixels. tryParseColor gives the color or null, and parseColor builds on it.
* fix(design-jsx): read the shadow prop as a CSS shadow list
The shadow prop was split on spaces, so a color before the lengths or a spread made the shadow black, and only one shadow could be set. It now takes a CSS box-shadow list through the shared parser, and pixel lengths in style props use the shared number parser. A rem grid track now has its size instead of sizing to content.
* test: type grid track and shadow fixtures
The test type check added in #896 rejects the grid track tests that #866 merged, because their object literals widen sizing to string, so bun run check fails on master. The fixtures are now typed GridTrack and Effect values.
* fix(core): let fill text share an auto-layout row
Fill frames grow and shrink from a zero flex basis, so fill siblings split a row's free space. Fill text only got flexGrow, and its measure function capped it at its stored width, 100px for new text, so seven fill labels in a 280px row each kept 100px and overflowed. Without a measurer, the fallback pinned that width and set no grow at all. Fill text now uses the same zero basis as fill frames on both paths.
* fix(design-jsx): read repeat() and minmax() in grid tracks
Track lists were split on whitespace, so columns="repeat(7, 1fr)" became the tracks repeat(7, and 1fr), read as fixed 0px and 1px columns that collapsed the grid. Tokens inside parentheses now stay together, repeat() expands its tracks, minmax() grows like its maximum, and a track the grid cannot express sizes to its content instead of to 0.
* refactor(scene-graph): parse CSS grid tracks with postcss-value-parser
design-jsx read repeat() and minmax() with a hand-written tokenizer and regexes, while dom-css already parses CSS values with postcss-value-parser. Track lists are now parsed in @open-pencil/scene-graph/css on that library, where both packages can use it, and design-jsx calls it. dom-css's hand-written declaration of the library's types is replaced by the types the library ships, which the shared module needs. The Scene Graph guide records that CSS values are parsed there.
* fix(design-jsx): say what gradient helpers expect when stops are not an array
An AI agent called linearGradient with something other than an array of stops, and render failed with 'stops.map is not a function', which does not tell it how to fix the call. The helpers now validate their stops with Valibot and name the expected form, and the authoring reference shows the signature.
* fix(design-jsx): describe stops that cannot be shown as JSON
Review follow-up. JSON.stringify throws on a bigint or a circular object, so such a call failed with that error instead of the gradient's expected form.
* fix(design-jsx): word gradient stop errors from the Valibot issue
Review follow-up. The message now names the helper as a call, as the paint helper option warnings do, and ends with Valibot's description of what was wrong, which already says what it received without serializing the value. A stop that is neither [color, position] nor { color, position } names both forms and its index.
* feat(design-jsx): export every property the renderer accepts
JSX export wrote only part of a layer: one solid fill, one stroke
without its alignment, shadows as repeated attributes, background blurs
as layer blurs, and nothing for hidden children, constraints, size
limits, absolute positioning, vertical text alignment, masks, or
variable bindings. Rendering an export lost those properties, and JSX
diffs could not see changes to them.
The export now writes them, using paint and effect helper calls when a
shorthand cannot express a value exactly, and leaves out values the
renderer would infer, so ordinary output stays as it was. Prop values
can now hold objects, arrays, and helper calls, printed through
@open-pencil/codegen's builders, which gain a call expression. The
language gains `visible`, `locked`, `constraints` (Figma's constraints
object with lowercase values, as `blendMode` uses), `italic`,
`strokes`, `strokeWeights`, `strokeCap`, and `strokeJoin`, and now
applies `strokeAlign`, `strokeDash`, and the size limits, which it
accepted but ignored. Per-corner radii are written even when the
uniform radius is 0. A round-trip test renders each case's export and
checks the fields and that exporting again changes nothing.
* docs(fig): name the saved-glyph fixture by its repository path
The observation note linked the fixture with a relative path climbing four directories. Other notes name fixtures by their repository path, which reads the same from anywhere.
* fix(design-jsx): export the node-level dash pattern
A node's own dashPattern was not written, so a node dashed at node level
came back solid and the DOM/CSS export chose a solid border. It now
round-trips as a separate dashPattern prop; strokeDash stays the
stroke-local dash.
* refactor(design-jsx): extract design JSX into its own package
Design JSX elements, helpers, schema, reference, and JSX export only need
the scene graph, yet lived in Core, so every consumer of the authoring API
pulled in the renderer, layout, and file formats.
@open-pencil/design-jsx now owns them and depends only on scene-graph. The
renderer takes icon lookup, SVG conversion, vector creation, and layout as
DesignJSXServices; Core binds its own and exports the bound renderJSX and
renderTree from @open-pencil/core/design-jsx.
* feat(design-jsx): export the JSX runtime for TSX authoring
The package already had a JSX runtime, but nothing exported it, so design
trees could only be written as function calls or JSX strings. Export
`./jsx-runtime` and `./jsx-dev-runtime` so `jsxImportSource` works, and make
`Fragment` produce the same empty-type node as `<>` in `renderJSX` strings.
* fix(design-jsx): render fragments nested in other elements
A fragment builds a node with an empty type, which only renderJSX expanded, and only at the root. Nested fragments and fragments passed to renderTree failed with 'Unknown element: <>'. Inline fragment children when trees are built, and share root expansion between renderTree and renderJSX.
* fix(design-jsx): accept blur in effect helpers and warn about unknown options
dropShadow({ blur: 12 }) silently used the default radius, although the shadow shorthand and the blur prop both call that value the blur, and any misspelled option was dropped without a word. The shadow and blur helpers now take blur as the radius, and renderJSX reports any other option they ignore, next to the existing unsupported-prop warnings.
Fixes#736
* refactor(design-jsx): check options for every paint and effect helper
The option check covered only effect helpers, and its key lists repeated
the option types by hand, so a new option could turn into a false
warning. One wrapper in `design-jsx/helpers.ts` now checks every paint
and effect helper that evaluated JSX can call, with key lists typed
against their option interfaces. Only plain objects are checked, and
repeated warnings are collapsed once. The authoring reference documents
the `blur` alias and the warnings.
* docs(design-jsx): scope helper option warnings to rendered JSX
* fix(design-jsx): name effect radius as Figma does and hint at it for blur
Accepting both `radius` and `blur` gave effect helpers two names for one
value, and when both were set `blur` was dropped without a warning.
Figma's effects only have `radius`, so the helpers take `radius` alone
and `blur` now warns with a pointer to it. The default radius is named
once instead of repeated.
