 ### Added

+- openDesign (Early-Preview): Added `helpers.timingFor(elementRef)` for element-bound timing access.
+- Introducing a new preview API method `applyTemplate` to apply a template to the current design.
 
 ### Fixed
 
-- Improve `mailto` URI validation to more accurately detect valid email addresses.
+- Fixed `ResetToDefault` import failing at runtime in the built package due to a path restructuring issue in the build.
+- Exported missing `Patch` type — previously referenced in `TimingAccessor.set()` but not importable from the package.
