-    "markdown": '# Chart and table data: numbers, formats, datasets and series mapping\n\nStatus: RR-54 (release readiness). Additive schema plus one behaviour fix (strict chart numbers). Ships in the next lockstep release: core first, then renderer and PPTX, then editor. This page is the contract the four packages implement; change it here first.\n\n## Decisions (vetoable)\n\nRecorded 2026-10-05 for the owner, who asked for all five recommendations of the chart/table data review at once:\n\n1. **One strict chart number rule in core.** The preview read `"12%"` as a gap and `"1e6"` as 1000000; the exporter stripped every non-numeric character (`"1e6"` became 16, `"(5)"` became 5, `"Q1"` became 1). Both engines now call core `chartNumber`, which follows the existing data-import rule. A string that is not a strict decimal number is a gap in both engines and a `chart-value-not-numeric` warning, never a guessed value. Decks whose chart cells held `"12%"` or `"$5"` export a gap where they used to export 12 or 5.\n2. **`ChartDataSource` is removed from the schema.** No engine resolved it ([opf#240](https://github.com/OpenPresentation/opf/issues/240), descoped), so the format-audit program (FA-07, 2026-10-06) deleted it, with its `chart-data-source-unresolved` warning. A future data-resolver design re-adds it when it is built. Inline data records where it came from with `data.source`, which engines never read.\n3. **Number formats use the variables syntax.** One pattern language for `NumberVariable.format`, column formats and cell formats. Core converts it to an Excel format code for the PPTX export and back on import.\n4. **Datasets are top-level and shared.** A chart or a table references one with `{ "dataset": "<id>" }`. Core inlines references before composition, so the engines keep plotting and laying out inline data.\n5. **Series mapping is by column name.** `chart.mapping` picks the category, X and series columns. Absent keeps today\'s positional rule exactly.\n\nA document that uses none of the new fields validates, previews and exports byte-for-byte as before, except for decision 1 on non-numeric strings.\n\n## Schema\n\n### Number formats\n\n`NumberFormat` is a string with the `NumberVariable.format` syntax: an optional literal prefix, a numeric part made of `#`, `0`, `,` (grouping) and `.` (decimals), and an optional literal suffix. A `%` in the prefix or suffix multiplies the value by 100. Examples: `#,##0`, `0.0%`, `$#,##0.00`, `#,##0 units`. An invalid pattern is a `number-format-invalid` error. A format applies only to number values; strings, booleans, `null` and rich runs display unchanged.\n\nTwo spellings display differently in Excel, so prefer the alternatives in charts that are exported: optional decimals only (`0.##`) show a whole number as `5` in core and the preview but as `5.` (with a trailing point) in Excel, and an all-`#` integer part (`#`, `#,###`) shows zero as `0` in core but as nothing in Excel. Use `0.0#`-style decimals with at least one `0`, or a whole-number format, and an integer part that ends in `0`.\n\n### Columns\n\n`DataColumn` is `{ "name": string, "format"?: NumberFormat }`. Anywhere a chart or dataset column is a string, it may be a `DataColumn`; the string form is `{ "name": value }` with no format.\n\n```json\n"chart": {\n  "type": "column",\n  "data": {\n    "columns": ["Quarter", { "name": "Revenue", "format": "$#,##0.0" }, { "name": "Margin", "format": "0%" }],\n    "rows": [["Q1", 12.4, 0.31], ["Q2", 18.1, 0.34]]\n  }\n}\n```\n\nA table column header may also be a `DataColumn`. A `StyledTableCell` gains an optional `format`:\n- on a body cell, it formats that cell\'s number value;\n- on a header cell (in `columns`), it is the column\'s format, the same as a `DataColumn` header.\n\nA body cell\'s own format wins over the column\'s.\n\n```json\n"table": {\n  "columns": ["Region", { "name": "Revenue", "format": "$#,##0.0" }, { "value": "Growth", "style": { "align": "right" }, "format": "0%" }],\n  "rows": [["EMEA", 8.2, 0.4], ["APAC", 6.1, { "value": 0.52, "format": "0.0%" }]]\n}\n```\n\n### Data source provenance\n\n`DataSourceRef` is `{ "src": string, "sheet"?, "range"?, "fields"?: string[], "retrieved"?: string (ISO date or date-time), "description"?: string }`. It records where inline data or a dataset came from. Engines never read, fetch or refresh it; they keep it through editing, export and re-import. It may appear as `ChartData.source` and `Dataset.source`.\n\nThere is no chart data source by file or asset (`chart.data` with `src`, `sheet`, `range`, `columns`): that form is removed (opf#240, descoped) and is a schema error. Import the data inline with `columns`/`rows` and record its origin in `source`.\n\n### Datasets\n\nTop-level `datasets` maps ids (the `assets` id pattern) to a `Dataset`:\n\n```json\n{\n  "datasets": {\n    "revenue": {\n      "title": "Revenue by quarter",\n      "columns": ["Quarter", { "name": "Revenue", "format": "$#,##0.0" }, "Costs"],\n      "rows": [["Q1", 12, 8], ["Q2", 18, 11], ["Q3", 24, 15]],\n      "source": { "src": "./data/revenue.csv", "retrieved": "2026-10-05" }\n    }\n  }\n}\n```\n\nRows hold `ChartDataCell` scalars (string, number, boolean, null). A `DatasetRef` is `{ "dataset": "<id>", "fields"?: string[] }`; `fields` selects and orders columns by name, each at most once (a repeated name is a schema error).\n- **Chart:** `chart.data` may be a `DatasetRef`. It is the second `oneOf` branch beside `ChartData`.\n- **Table:** a table is either inline (`rows` required, optional `columns`) or dataset-backed (`dataset` required, optional `fields`, and no `rows` or `columns`). Dataset tables take their headers and column formats from the dataset; per-cell styles need an inline table.\n\nValidation:\n- an unknown dataset id is a `dataset-unknown` error;\n- an unknown field is a `dataset-field-unknown` error;\n- duplicate column names in a dataset, or in chart data that a `mapping` or `fields` addresses, are a `data-column-duplicate` error;\n- a dataset nothing references is the warning `opf/unused-dataset` (category `references`).\n\n### Series mapping\n\n`chart.mapping` is `{ "category"?: string, "x"?: string, "series"?: string[] }`, naming columns after any `fields` selection:\n- `category`: the label column. Default: the first column.\n- `x`: the X column of an XY (scatter) chart. Default, today\'s rule: the second column (the first when `category` names the second), and only when the chart has three or more columns. With two columns there is no X column: the second column is the one series, plotted against row numbers. An `x` that leaves no series (two columns, or every series dropped) is a `chart-mapping-adapted` warning and that column is plotted as the series. A chart is XY when its type resolves (deprecated ids through their replacement) to the scatter construct of `chartOptionTarget`. An `x` equal to the category is a `chart-mapping-adapted` warning and the default is used. On a chart type without an X axis it is dropped with a `chart-mapping-adapted` warning.\n- `series`: the plotted columns, in order. Default: every column that is not `category` or `x`.\n\nAn unknown name is a `chart-mapping-unknown-column` error. A series that repeats the category or X column is a `chart-mapping-adapted` warning and is dropped. Mapping only reorders and selects columns; pie, doughnut and single-series constructs still plot one series (`series-dropped`, as today).\n\n## Core runtime API\n\nExported from `@openpresentation/opf` and `@openpresentation/opf/data` (module `src/chart-data.ts`; the resolvers are also on `@openpresentation/opf/composition`). Inputs are typed `unknown` so engines can pass any parsed chart, table or document; the result types are exported (`ResolvedChartData`, `ResolvedTableData`, `DataDiagnostic`, `DataColumn`, `DataSourceRef`, `Dataset`, `DatasetRef`, `ChartMapping`, `DataCellValue`, `DataTableCell`, `DataTableHeader`, `DataStyledCell`).\n\n```ts\n/** Strict chart number: finite numbers, and strings in strict decimal syntax (trimmed).

Before filling, the validator does not warn on a `var:<id>` cell whose variable is a number. `chart-value-not-numeric` is reported for any value cell that `chartNumber` rejects (strings and booleans), never for `null` or `""`. An unknown `fields` entry is a `dataset-field-unknown` error and `resolveChartData`/`resolveTableData` leave that column out. `number-format-invalid` applies to `DataColumn.format` and `StyledTableCell.format`; `NumberVariable.format` keeps its existing check (`variable-format` where it is used), so no existing document gains an error.\n\n`validate` reports the codes as `opf/<code>` rule ids: the errors are `format` findings, `opf/chart-value-not-numeric` and `opf/chart-mapping-adapted` are `content` warnings, `opf/chart-data-source-unresolved` is a `references` warning, and `references` adds `opf/unused-dataset`. The raw schema issue of a finding is in its `validation` field (`validation.params.code`).\n\n### Migration help\n\nDecks written before the strict rule often hold display text in chart cells. When every text cell of a value column (an X or series column, or a lone column) is written in one display style that a NumberFormat reproduces exactly, `suggestChartNumberFix` returns the fix, and `validate` attaches it to each of the column\'s `opf/chart-value-not-numeric` warnings as `fixes: [{ id: "store-chart-numbers", title, kind: "patch", safe: false, patch }]` (a [finding fix](finding-schema-reference.md); core never applies it):\n\n- `"12%"`, `"8.5%"` become 0.12 and 0.085 with the column format `0.#%`;\n- `"$1,234"`, `"$56"` become 1234 and 56 with `$#,##0` (also `\u20AC`, `\xA3`, `\xA5`);\n- `"1,234.5"`, `"999"` become 1234.5 (the plain number stays) with `#,##0.##`.\n\nThe patch replaces each text cell with its number and the column with a `DataColumn` that has the format; a dataset column is fixed in the dataset, so every chart and table that uses it changes, and its tables show the same text. A style is one optional leading minus, one optional currency symbol, digits (grouped in threes or plain), optional decimals and an optional `%`. There is no fix when the column already has a format, when styles are mixed (`"12%"` beside `"$5"` or beside the number 0.5), for accounting negatives `"(5)"`, `"$-5"`, a decimal comma (`"1.234,5"`), units (`"5 units"`), `".5"` or `"007"`, for mixed grouping (`"1,234"` beside `"5678"`), or when one format cannot show every value as written (`"$5"` beside `"$5.50"`). Every fixed value is checked: `formatDataNumber(value, format)` equals the text as written.\n\nCore composition, table layout and pagination accept dataset-backed tables and charts by inlining first. Table layout measures the formatted text. Markdown conversion, diff, merge, patch, validate and format keep the new fields. In detail:\n\n- `composeSlide` inlines a dataset-backed `table` or `chart` from `options.presentation.datasets`, so the composed item\'s `value` (and `payload`) is the inline copy; the item `path` still points at the authored field. `layoutTable(value, box, { presentation })` does the same, and each body cell\'s `TableCellLayout.value` is its display value (`tableCellDisplayValue`); `input` stays the authored cell. A DataColumn header shows its `name` (`path` ends in `.name`).\n- `paginateSlide`/`paginate` validate a slide with the deck\'s `datasets` (and `references`). A dataset table that has to be split is written to the continuation slides as inline tables (the slide that fits is returned unchanged, with its reference).\n- `convertContent` keeps a dataset reference between chart and table (`fields` too; `mapping` is reported as lost) and needs `options.presentation` to convert a dataset table to any other kind. Inline conversions keep DataColumn formats and report lost number formats and `source`. Slide-level conversions validate with the document\'s datasets; slide-only structure edits skip the dataset checks they cannot make.\n- Markdown writes the new fields in its embedded YAML form (lossless); `datasets` go to the front matter. `format` orders `datasets`, `mapping`, `source` and `DataColumn` keys by the schema. `diff` reports changes under `datasets` in their own category. The chart rules of `validate` read resolved chart data (DataColumn names, dataset charts).\n- Variables: `resolveVariables` walks `datasets` like any other content, so `{{id}}` tokens and whole `var:<id>` cells in dataset rows are filled before engines inline the reference.\n- `opf import-data --dataset <id>` (CLI) writes the imported columns and rows into `datasets.<id>` and references it. Re-importing into an existing dataset keeps its title, description and the format of each column whose name is unchanged; `source.src` names the imported file relative to the deck file\'s folder with `/` separators (stdin: no source), and `source.retrieved` is set only by `--date YYYY-MM-DD`; the command never reads the clock.\n- The generated `Table` type now has `rows?` (a dataset table has none) and `dataset?`/`fields?`; TypeScript callers that read `table.rows` handle the dataset form (or call `resolveTableData`).\n\n## Engines\n\nAll three engines read core\'s functions when they exist and fall back to their previous behaviour on a core without RR-54, so each can ship before or after core. A document that uses none of the new fields renders, exports and edits byte for byte as before (renderer: all 805 slides of the core examples; PPTX: 21 golden digests; editor: identical patches).\n\n### Preview (opf-render, [opf-render#127](https://github.com/OpenPresentation/opf-render/pull/127))\n\n- **Data:** every chart path reads `resolveChartData`: the catalog charts, the chartex constructs, scatter, pie and doughnut, single-column charts, and the legacy sketch. Its own `chartNumber` delegates to core\'s, so `"0x10"` is now a gap too. Data that does not resolve keeps the "No chart data" placeholder. A document with an unknown dataset or mapping column fails validation (`invalid-opf`) like any other invalid document.\n- **Formats:**\n  - Data labels use their series\' format, through `formatDataNumber`.\n  - Value-axis ticks use the first plotted series\' format, as Excel does for a source-linked axis.\n  - The scatter X axis and X labels use the X column\'s format.\n  - Percent axes (100% stacked, pareto) and pie percent labels stay percent.\n  - A histogram of a lone column plots counts and takes no format.\n- **Tables:** cells draw core layout\'s display text, so a body cell\'s own `format` wins over its column\'s.\n- **Tracing:** the editor relies on each drawn part\'s authored path.\n  - Every part of a dataset-backed chart or table traces to its authored `slides.N.chart` or `slides.N.table` path, because it has no rows of its own.\n  - A chart with `mapping` traces each part to the authored column index.\n\n### PPTX export (opf-pptx, [opf-pptx#171](https://github.com/OpenPresentation/opf-pptx/pull/171))\n\n- **Numbers:** the export resolves data through `resolveChartData`, and the lenient `parsedNumber`/`numericValue` are removed. Non-numeric strings export as gaps, with one `chart-value-not-numeric` diagnostic per chart that carries a `count`.\n- **Classic charts:** `toExcelNumberFormat` codes are written as:\n  - the series `c:numCache/c:formatCode` (added where PptxGenJS writes none, such as pie and doughnut);\n  - the series and chart-group data-label `c:numFmt sourceLinked="0"`;\n  - the value-axis `c:numFmt`. The first plotted series\' format is used, a scatter X axis takes the X column\'s, and a 100% stacked axis keeps `0%`.\n  - Labels that show percentages keep PowerPoint\'s percent form.\n- **Chartex:** `cx:lvl formatCode` and the value-label and value-axis `cx:numFmt`, except on binned constructs.\n- **Embedded workbook:** custom `numFmt` entries from id 164, with cell styles on every value cell, so Edit Data shows the formats.\n- **Tables:** tables export core layout\'s display text.\n- **Datasets and mapping:** a chart that uses them exports exactly like its inline equivalent.\n- **Provenance:** in `full` mode, `OPF_DATASETS_V1` holds the `datasets` map. `OPF_DATA_V1` sits on each chart or table frame that uses a new field and holds the authored `data`, `mapping` and table form (and, FA-14, a chart\'s `highlight`, which then also records its inline `data`; see [chart-options.md](chart-options.md)), plus a hash of the cached names, values and format codes. `references-only` mode and `provenance: false` write neither tag.\n\n### PPTX import (opf-pptx)\n\n- **With provenance:** `datasets` is restored before document provenance validates. A frame\'s dataset reference, `mapping`, formats and `source` are restored only while the cache hash still matches. If PowerPoint (or a person) changed the values, the native values import and a diagnostic says why, such as `chart-data-provenance-changed` or `table-dataset-unavailable`. The hash compares format codes in core\'s canonical form (`fromExcelNumberFormat`), so PowerPoint\'s re-spellings on save (`\\$#,##0.0` for `$#,##0.0`, `#,##0\\ "units"` for `#,##0 "units"`, native check [opf#385](https://github.com/OpenPresentation/opf/pull/385)) still match; a General code counts as no code.\n- **Without provenance:** a cache `formatCode` that `fromExcelNumberFormat` maps back becomes that column\'s `{ name, format }`, for both classic and chartex charts. Core returns the canonical spelling, such as `#,##0 units` for `#,##0 "units"`. Other codes are reported as `chart-number-format-adapted` and never invented.\n- **Cached values:** these follow the strict rule as well. XML decimal forms (`+5`, `.5`, `007`) are numbers; anything else is a gap with a diagnostic, never a stripped number or 0.\n\n### Editor (opf-editor, [opf-editor#92](https://github.com/OpenPresentation/opf-editor/pull/92))\n\n- **DataColumn headers:** the data grid shows a `DataColumn` header\'s `name`. Rename, insert, delete, move and paste keep each column\'s format.\n- **Chart cells:** they follow `chartNumber`. Text that is not a number is refused with the reason, and a stored string read as a gap is flagged.\n- **Shared datasets:** a dataset-backed chart or table is edited at `/datasets/<id>` through `fields`.\n  - Hidden columns keep their data.\n  - A column added while `fields` is set goes to both the dataset and `fields`.\n  - A rename updates every `fields` and `mapping` that names the column, in the same patch.\n  - Deleting a column another item uses is refused with `dataset-column-in-use`.\n  - The status line says how many items share the dataset, and "Use a copy of the data" (`detachGridDataset`) inlines one item\'s data.\n- **Format and mapping:**\n  - A per-column format field (`setGridColumnFormat`) is checked with `numberFormatError`.\n  - A "Chart columns" panel (`setChartMapping`) sets the category, the X column (XY charts only) and the series, and writes only what differs from the default.\n- **Import:** "Store as a shared dataset" (`prepareDatasetImport`) imports into `datasets.<id>`, as `opf import-data --dataset` does.\n- **Other panels:** the table style panel and `table-options` refuse a dataset table with `table-dataset-backed`. Find and replace also searches dataset text.\n- **Undo:** each edit is one undoable patch.\n\n### Native PowerPoint checks\n\nWanted before release:\n- formatted data labels and value axes;\n- Edit Data shows the workbook cell formats with no repair prompt;\n- no repair prompt for the frame `custDataLst`;\n- after a plain save in PowerPoint, the data tags and cache hash survive;\n- the two spellings above (`0.##` on a whole number, `#` on zero) show as described.\n\nSample decks are written by the PPTX branch under `artifacts/rr-54-native/`.\n\n## Not in this change\n\n- Resolving a data source by file or asset, or refreshing `source` ([opf#240](https://github.com/OpenPresentation/opf/issues/240)).\n- Date axes and date formats.\n- Per-series colours. (Columns with line series, optionally on a secondary axis, are the `combo` chart type: [chart-options.md](chart-options.md#combo-charts).)\n- Formulas.\n- Rich text in dataset cells.\n'
+    "markdown": '# Chart and table data: numbers, formats, datasets and series mapping\n\nStatus: RR-54 (release readiness). Additive schema plus one behaviour fix (strict chart numbers). Ships in the next lockstep release: core first, then renderer and PPTX, then editor. This page is the contract the four packages implement; change it here first.\n\n## Decisions (vetoable)\n\nRecorded 2026-10-05 for the owner, who asked for all five recommendations of the chart/table data review at once:\n\n1. **One strict chart number rule in core.** The preview read `"12%"` as a gap and `"1e6"` as 1000000; the exporter stripped every non-numeric character (`"1e6"` became 16, `"(5)"` became 5, `"Q1"` became 1). Both engines now call core `chartNumber`, which follows the existing data-import rule. A string that is not a strict decimal number is a gap in both engines and a `chart-value-not-numeric` warning, never a guessed value. Decks whose chart cells held `"12%"` or `"$5"` export a gap where they used to export 12 or 5.\n2. **`ChartDataSource` is removed from the schema.** No engine resolved it ([opf#240](https://github.com/OpenPresentation/opf/issues/240), descoped), so the format-audit program (FA-07, 2026-10-06) deleted it, with its `chart-data-source-unresolved` warning. A future data-resolver design re-adds it when it is built. Inline data records where it came from with `data.source`, which engines never read.\n3. **Number formats use the variables syntax.** One pattern language for `NumberVariable.format`, column formats and cell formats. Core converts it to an Excel format code for the PPTX export and back on import.\n4. **Datasets are top-level and shared.** A chart or a table references one with `{ "dataset": "<id>" }`. Core inlines references before composition, so the engines keep plotting and laying out inline data.\n5. **Series mapping is by column name.** `chart.mapping` picks the category, X and series columns. Absent keeps today\'s positional rule exactly.\n\nA document that uses none of the new fields validates, previews and exports byte-for-byte as before, except for decision 1 on non-numeric strings.\n\n## Schema\n\n### Number formats\n\n`NumberFormat` is a string with the `NumberVariable.format` syntax: an optional literal prefix, a numeric part made of `#`, `0`, `,` (grouping) and `.` (decimals), and an optional literal suffix. A `%` in the prefix or suffix multiplies the value by 100. Examples: `#,##0`, `0.0%`, `$#,##0.00`, `#,##0 units`. An invalid pattern is a `number-format-invalid` error. A format applies only to number values; strings, booleans, `null` and rich runs display unchanged.\n\nTwo spellings display differently in Excel, so prefer the alternatives in charts that are exported: optional decimals only (`0.##`) show a whole number as `5` in core and the preview but as `5.` (with a trailing point) in Excel, and an all-`#` integer part (`#`, `#,###`) shows zero as `0` in core but as nothing in Excel. Use `0.0#`-style decimals with at least one `0`, or a whole-number format, and an integer part that ends in `0`.\n\n### Columns\n\n`DataColumn` is `{ "name": string, "format"?: NumberFormat }`. Anywhere a chart or dataset column is a string, it may be a `DataColumn`; the string form is `{ "name": value }` with no format.\n\n```json\n"chart": {\n  "type": "column",\n  "data": {\n    "columns": ["Quarter", { "name": "Revenue", "format": "$#,##0.0" }, { "name": "Margin", "format": "0%" }],\n    "rows": [["Q1", 12.4, 0.31], ["Q2", 18.1, 0.34]]\n  }\n}\n```\n\nA table column header may also be a `DataColumn`. A `StyledTableCell` gains an optional `format`:\n- on a body cell, it formats that cell\'s number value;\n- on a header cell (in `columns`), it is the column\'s format, the same as a `DataColumn` header.\n\nA body cell\'s own format wins over the column\'s.\n\n```json\n"table": {\n  "columns": ["Region", { "name": "Revenue", "format": "$#,##0.0" }, { "value": "Growth", "style": { "align": "right" }, "format": "0%" }],\n  "rows": [["EMEA", 8.2, 0.4], ["APAC", 6.1, { "value": 0.52, "format": "0.0%" }]]\n}\n```\n\n### Data source provenance\n\n`DataSourceRef` is `{ "src": string, "sheet"?, "range"?, "fields"?: string[], "retrieved"?: string (ISO date or date-time), "description"?: string }`. It records where inline data or a dataset came from. Engines never read, fetch or refresh it; they keep it through editing, export and re-import. It may appear as `ChartData.source` and `Dataset.source`.\n\nThere is no chart data source by file or asset (`chart.data` with `src`, `sheet`, `range`, `columns`): that form is removed (opf#240, descoped) and is a schema error. Import the data inline with `columns`/`rows` and record its origin in `source`.\n\n### Datasets\n\nTop-level `datasets` maps ids (the `assets` id pattern) to a `Dataset`:\n\n```json\n{\n  "datasets": {\n    "revenue": {\n      "title": "Revenue by quarter",\n      "columns": ["Quarter", { "name": "Revenue", "format": "$#,##0.0" }, "Costs"],\n      "rows": [["Q1", 12, 8], ["Q2", 18, 11], ["Q3", 24, 15]],\n      "source": { "src": "./data/revenue.csv", "retrieved": "2026-10-05" }\n    }\n  }\n}\n```\n\nRows hold `ChartDataCell` scalars (string, number, boolean, null). A `DatasetRef` is `{ "dataset": "<id>", "fields"?: string[] }`; `fields` selects and orders columns by name, each at most once (a repeated name is a schema error).\n- **Chart:** `chart.data` may be a `DatasetRef`. It is the second `oneOf` branch beside `ChartData`.\n- **Table:** a table is either inline (`rows` required, optional `columns`) or dataset-backed (`dataset` required, optional `fields`, and no `rows` or `columns`). Dataset tables take their headers and column formats from the dataset; per-cell styles need an inline table.\n\nValidation:\n- an unknown dataset id is a `dataset-unknown` error;\n- an unknown field is a `dataset-field-unknown` error;\n- duplicate column names in a dataset, or in chart data that a `mapping` or `fields` addresses, are a `data-column-duplicate` error;\n- a dataset nothing references is the warning `opf/unused-dataset` (category `references`).\n\n### Series mapping\n\n`chart.mapping` is `{ "category"?: string, "x"?: string, "series"?: string[] }`, naming columns after any `fields` selection:\n- `category`: the label column. Default: the first column.\n- `x`: the X column of an XY (scatter) chart. Default, today\'s rule: the second column (the first when `category` names the second), and only when the chart has three or more columns. With two columns there is no X column: the second column is the one series, plotted against row numbers. An `x` that leaves no series (two columns, or every series dropped) is a `chart-mapping-adapted` warning and that column is plotted as the series. A chart is XY when its type resolves (deprecated ids through their replacement) to the scatter construct of `chartOptionTarget`. An `x` equal to the category is a `chart-mapping-adapted` warning and the default is used. On a chart type without an X axis it is dropped with a `chart-mapping-adapted` warning.\n- `series`: the plotted columns, in order. Default: every column that is not `category` or `x`.\n\nAn unknown name is a `chart-mapping-unknown-column` error. A series that repeats the category or X column is a `chart-mapping-adapted` warning and is dropped. Mapping only reorders and selects columns; pie, doughnut and single-series constructs still plot one series (`series-dropped`, as today).\n\n## Core runtime API\n\nExported from `@openpresentation/opf` and `@openpresentation/opf/data` (module `src/chart-data.ts`; the resolvers are also on `@openpresentation/opf/composition`). Inputs are typed `unknown` so engines can pass any parsed chart, table or document; the result types are exported (`ResolvedChartData`, `ResolvedTableData`, `DataDiagnostic`, `DataColumn`, `DataSourceRef`, `Dataset`, `DatasetRef`, `ChartMapping`, `DataCellValue`, `DataTableCell`, `DataTableHeader`, `DataStyledCell`).\n\n```ts\n/** Strict chart number: finite numbers, and strings in strict decimal syntax (trimmed).

Before filling, the validator does not warn on a `var:<id>` cell whose variable is a number. `chart-value-not-numeric` is reported for any value cell that `chartNumber` rejects (strings and booleans), never for `null` or `""`. An unknown `fields` entry is a `dataset-field-unknown` error and `resolveChartData`/`resolveTableData` leave that column out. `number-format-invalid` applies to `DataColumn.format` and `StyledTableCell.format`; `NumberVariable.format` keeps its existing check (`variable-format` where it is used), so no existing document gains an error.\n\n`validate` reports the codes as `opf/<code>` rule ids: the errors are `format` findings, `opf/chart-value-not-numeric` and `opf/chart-mapping-adapted` are `content` warnings, `opf/chart-data-source-unresolved` is a `references` warning, and `references` adds `opf/unused-dataset`. The raw schema issue of a finding is in its `validation` field (`validation.params.code`).\n\n### Migration help\n\nDecks written before the strict rule often hold display text in chart cells. When every text cell of a value column (an X or series column, or a lone column) is written in one display style that a NumberFormat reproduces exactly, `suggestChartNumberFix` returns the fix, and `validate` attaches it to each of the column\'s `opf/chart-value-not-numeric` warnings as `fixes: [{ id: "store-chart-numbers", title, kind: "patch", safe: false, patch }]` (a [finding fix](finding-schema-reference.md); core never applies it):\n\n- `"12%"`, `"8.5%"` become 0.12 and 0.085 with the column format `0.#%`;\n- `"$1,234"`, `"$56"` become 1234 and 56 with `$#,##0` (also `\u20AC`, `\xA3`, `\xA5`);\n- `"1,234.5"`, `"999"` become 1234.5 (the plain number stays) with `#,##0.##`.\n\nThe patch replaces each text cell with its number and the column with a `DataColumn` that has the format; a dataset column is fixed in the dataset, so every chart and table that uses it changes, and its tables show the same text. A style is one optional leading minus, one optional currency symbol, digits (grouped in threes or plain), optional decimals and an optional `%`. There is no fix when the column already has a format, when styles are mixed (`"12%"` beside `"$5"` or beside the number 0.5), for accounting negatives `"(5)"`, `"$-5"`, a decimal comma (`"1.234,5"`), units (`"5 units"`), `".5"` or `"007"`, for mixed grouping (`"1,234"` beside `"5678"`), or when one format cannot show every value as written (`"$5"` beside `"$5.50"`). Every fixed value is checked: `formatDataNumber(value, format)` equals the text as written.\n\nCore composition, table layout and pagination accept dataset-backed tables and charts by inlining first. Table layout measures the formatted text. Markdown conversion, diff, merge, patch, validate and format keep the new fields. In detail:\n\n- `composeSlide` inlines a dataset-backed `table` or `chart` from `options.presentation.datasets`, so the composed item\'s `value` (and `payload`) is the inline copy; the item `path` still points at the authored field. `layoutTable(value, box, { presentation })` does the same, and each body cell\'s `TableCellLayout.value` is its display value (`tableCellDisplayValue`); `input` stays the authored cell. A DataColumn header shows its `name` (`path` ends in `.name`).\n- `paginateSlide`/`paginate` validate a slide with the deck\'s `datasets` (and `references`). A dataset table that has to be split is written to the continuation slides as inline tables (the slide that fits is returned unchanged, with its reference).\n- `convertContent` keeps a dataset reference between chart and table (`fields` too; `mapping` is reported as lost) and needs `options.presentation` to convert a dataset table to any other kind. Inline conversions keep DataColumn formats and report lost number formats and `source`. Slide-level conversions validate with the document\'s datasets; slide-only structure edits skip the dataset checks they cannot make.\n- Markdown writes the new fields in its embedded YAML form (lossless); `datasets` go to the front matter. `format` orders `datasets`, `mapping`, `source` and `DataColumn` keys by the schema. `diff` reports changes under `datasets` in their own category. The chart rules of `validate` read resolved chart data (DataColumn names, dataset charts).\n- Variables: `resolveVariables` walks `datasets` like any other content, so `{{id}}` tokens and whole `var:<id>` cells in dataset rows are filled before engines inline the reference.\n- `opf ingest --dataset <id>` (CLI) writes the imported columns and rows into `datasets.<id>` and references it. Re-importing into an existing dataset keeps its title, description and the format of each column whose name is unchanged; `source.src` names the imported file relative to the deck file\'s folder with `/` separators (stdin: no source), and `source.retrieved` is set only by `--date YYYY-MM-DD`; the command never reads the clock.\n- The generated `Table` type now has `rows?` (a dataset table has none) and `dataset?`/`fields?`; TypeScript callers that read `table.rows` handle the dataset form (or call `resolveTableData`).\n\n## Engines\n\nAll three engines read core\'s functions when they exist and fall back to their previous behaviour on a core without RR-54, so each can ship before or after core. A document that uses none of the new fields renders, exports and edits byte for byte as before (renderer: all 805 slides of the core examples; PPTX: 21 golden digests; editor: identical patches).\n\n### Preview (opf-render, [opf-render#127](https://github.com/OpenPresentation/opf-render/pull/127))\n\n- **Data:** every chart path reads `resolveChartData`: the catalog charts, the chartex constructs, scatter, pie and doughnut, single-column charts, and the legacy sketch. Its own `chartNumber` delegates to core\'s, so `"0x10"` is now a gap too. Data that does not resolve keeps the "No chart data" placeholder. A document with an unknown dataset or mapping column fails validation (`invalid-opf`) like any other invalid document.\n- **Formats:**\n  - Data labels use their series\' format, through `formatDataNumber`.\n  - Value-axis ticks use the first plotted series\' format, as Excel does for a source-linked axis.\n  - The scatter X axis and X labels use the X column\'s format.\n  - Percent axes (100% stacked, pareto) and pie percent labels stay percent.\n  - A histogram of a lone column plots counts and takes no format.\n- **Tables:** cells draw core layout\'s display text, so a body cell\'s own `format` wins over its column\'s.\n- **Tracing:** the editor relies on each drawn part\'s authored path.\n  - Every part of a dataset-backed chart or table traces to its authored `slides.N.chart` or `slides.N.table` path, because it has no rows of its own.\n  - A chart with `mapping` traces each part to the authored column index.\n\n### PPTX export (opf-pptx, [opf-pptx#171](https://github.com/OpenPresentation/opf-pptx/pull/171))\n\n- **Numbers:** the export resolves data through `resolveChartData`, and the lenient `parsedNumber`/`numericValue` are removed. Non-numeric strings export as gaps, with one `chart-value-not-numeric` diagnostic per chart that carries a `count`.\n- **Classic charts:** `toExcelNumberFormat` codes are written as:\n  - the series `c:numCache/c:formatCode` (added where PptxGenJS writes none, such as pie and doughnut);\n  - the series and chart-group data-label `c:numFmt sourceLinked="0"`;\n  - the value-axis `c:numFmt`. The first plotted series\' format is used, a scatter X axis takes the X column\'s, and a 100% stacked axis keeps `0%`.\n  - Labels that show percentages keep PowerPoint\'s percent form.\n- **Chartex:** `cx:lvl formatCode` and the value-label and value-axis `cx:numFmt`, except on binned constructs.\n- **Embedded workbook:** custom `numFmt` entries from id 164, with cell styles on every value cell, so Edit Data shows the formats.\n- **Tables:** tables export core layout\'s display text.\n- **Datasets and mapping:** a chart that uses them exports exactly like its inline equivalent.\n- **Provenance:** in `full` mode, `OPF_DATASETS_V1` holds the `datasets` map. `OPF_DATA_V1` sits on each chart or table frame that uses a new field and holds the authored `data`, `mapping` and table form (and, FA-14, a chart\'s `highlight`, which then also records its inline `data`; see [chart-options.md](chart-options.md)), plus a hash of the cached names, values and format codes. `references-only` mode and `provenance: false` write neither tag.\n\n### PPTX import (opf-pptx)\n\n- **With provenance:** `datasets` is restored before document provenance validates. A frame\'s dataset reference, `mapping`, formats and `source` are restored only while the cache hash still matches. If PowerPoint (or a person) changed the values, the native values import and a diagnostic says why, such as `chart-data-provenance-changed` or `table-dataset-unavailable`. The hash compares format codes in core\'s canonical form (`fromExcelNumberFormat`), so PowerPoint\'s re-spellings on save (`\\$#,##0.0` for `$#,##0.0`, `#,##0\\ "units"` for `#,##0 "units"`, native check [opf#385](https://github.com/OpenPresentation/opf/pull/385)) still match; a General code counts as no code.\n- **Without provenance:** a cache `formatCode` that `fromExcelNumberFormat` maps back becomes that column\'s `{ name, format }`, for both classic and chartex charts. Core returns the canonical spelling, such as `#,##0 units` for `#,##0 "units"`. Other codes are reported as `chart-number-format-adapted` and never invented.\n- **Cached values:** these follow the strict rule as well. XML decimal forms (`+5`, `.5`, `007`) are numbers; anything else is a gap with a diagnostic, never a stripped number or 0.\n\n### Editor (opf-editor, [opf-editor#92](https://github.com/OpenPresentation/opf-editor/pull/92))\n\n- **DataColumn headers:** the data grid shows a `DataColumn` header\'s `name`. Rename, insert, delete, move and paste keep each column\'s format.\n- **Chart cells:** they follow `chartNumber`. Text that is not a number is refused with the reason, and a stored string read as a gap is flagged.\n- **Shared datasets:** a dataset-backed chart or table is edited at `/datasets/<id>` through `fields`.\n  - Hidden columns keep their data.\n  - A column added while `fields` is set goes to both the dataset and `fields`.\n  - A rename updates every `fields` and `mapping` that names the column, in the same patch.\n  - Deleting a column another item uses is refused with `dataset-column-in-use`.\n  - The status line says how many items share the dataset, and "Use a copy of the data" (`detachGridDataset`) inlines one item\'s data.\n- **Format and mapping:**\n  - A per-column format field (`setGridColumnFormat`) is checked with `numberFormatError`.\n  - A "Chart columns" panel (`setChartMapping`) sets the category, the X column (XY charts only) and the series, and writes only what differs from the default.\n- **Import:** "Store as a shared dataset" (`prepareDatasetImport`) imports into `datasets.<id>`, as `opf ingest --dataset` does.\n- **Other panels:** the table style panel and `table-options` refuse a dataset table with `table-dataset-backed`. Find and replace also searches dataset text.\n- **Undo:** each edit is one undoable patch.\n\n### Native PowerPoint checks\n\nWanted before release:\n- formatted data labels and value axes;\n- Edit Data shows the workbook cell formats with no repair prompt;\n- no repair prompt for the frame `custDataLst`;\n- after a plain save in PowerPoint, the data tags and cache hash survive;\n- the two spellings above (`0.##` on a whole number, `#` on zero) show as described.\n\nSample decks are written by the PPTX branch under `artifacts/rr-54-native/`.\n\n## Not in this change\n\n- Resolving a data source by file or asset, or refreshing `source` ([opf#240](https://github.com/OpenPresentation/opf/issues/240)).\n- Date axes and date formats.\n- Per-series colours. (Columns with line series, optionally on a secondary axis, are the `combo` chart type: [chart-options.md](chart-options.md#combo-charts).)\n- Formulas.\n- Rich text in dataset cells.\n'

-    "title": "The `opf` CLI: producing and reading files",
-    "markdown": "# The `opf` CLI: producing and reading files\n\nThe CLI (`@openpresentation/cli`, binary `opf`, Node 24) validates, edits, paginates and bundles documents (see\n[its README](../packages/cli/README.md)). `opf validate` is the one checker ([validate](validate.md)). Four commands\nproduce and read files: `opf render`, `opf export`, `opf convert` and `opf import`. They run core's file engine, the one\napplications call as [`@openpresentation/opf/node`](node.md) (`convert`, `open`, `save`); the commands add the flags, the\nJSON report and the exit codes.\n\nAll four are deterministic and local: no network, no model, no telemetry, no system fonts. The same document, options\nand installed package versions give the same bytes on every operating system.\n\n## Install\n\n`render`, `export` and `convert` to PDF, PNG or SVG need `@openpresentation/opf-render`; PPTX output and `.pptx` input (`export\n--format pptx`, `import`, `convert` from or to `.pptx`) also need `@openpresentation/opf-pptx`. Both are **optional peer dependencies** of the CLI and of core (decision RR-27, below; RR-62 moved the engine into core's `/node`), loaded the\nfirst time a command needs them. Install them next to the CLI:\n\n```sh\nnpm install -g @openpresentation/cli @openpresentation/opf-render @openpresentation/opf-pptx @resvg/resvg-js sharp pdf-lib @expo-google-fonts/roboto@0.4.3 @expo-google-fonts/roboto-mono@0.4.2 @expo-google-fonts/caladea@0.4.2 @expo-google-fonts/arimo@0.4.3 @expo-google-fonts/tinos@0.4.2 @expo-google-fonts/cousine@0.4.3 @expo-google-fonts/gelasio@0.4.1 @expo-google-fonts/noto-sans@0.4.2\n# a project that depends on the CLI\nnpm install -D @openpresentation/cli @openpresentation/opf-render @openpresentation/opf-pptx @resvg/resvg-js sharp pdf-lib @expo-google-fonts/roboto@0.4.3 @expo-google-fonts/roboto-mono@0.4.2 @expo-google-fonts/caladea@0.4.2 @expo-google-fonts/arimo@0.4.3 @expo-google-fonts/tinos@0.4.2 @expo-google-fonts/cousine@0.4.3 @expo-google-fonts/gelasio@0.4.1 @expo-google-fonts/noto-sans@0.4.2\n# one run, nothing installed\nnpx -p @openpresentation/cli -p @openpresentation/opf-render -p @openpresentation/opf-pptx -p @resvg/resvg-js -p sharp -p @expo-google-fonts/roboto@0.4.3 -p @expo-google-fonts/roboto-mono@0.4.2 -p @expo-google-fonts/caladea@0.4.2 -p @expo-google-fonts/arimo@0.4.3 -p @expo-google-fonts/tinos@0.4.2 -p @expo-google-fonts/cousine@0.4.3 -p @expo-google-fonts/gelasio@0.4.1 -p @expo-google-fonts/noto-sans@0.4.2 opf export deck.opf.json --format pptx\n```\n\nThe CLI looks for a peer beside itself first (a global install, an npx run, a project dependency) and in the working\ndirectory second. Without it the command exits 2 with `code: \"peer-not-installed\"` and the install command. The\ncommands check the functions they call and name the version to install when an older peer lacks one.\n\nFrom opf-render 0.16 the renderer's own dependencies are optional peers too: the converters (`pdf-lib`, `@resvg/resvg-js`,\n`sharp`) and every `@expo-google-fonts/*` package, so a host installs only what its outputs use. The CLI and\n`@openpresentation/opf/node` always load the renderer's office font pack. What each output needs beside `@openpresentation/opf-render`:\n\n| Output | Also install |\n| --- | --- |\n| every format (the office font pack) | `@expo-google-fonts/roboto@0.4.3 @expo-google-fonts/roboto-mono@0.4.2 @expo-google-fonts/caladea@0.4.2 @expo-google-fonts/arimo@0.4.3 @expo-google-fonts/tinos@0.4.2 @expo-google-fonts/cousine@0.4.3 @expo-google-fonts/gelasio@0.4.1 @expo-google-fonts/noto-sans@0.4.2` |\n| `png` | `@resvg/resvg-js@^2.6.2 sharp@^0.35.5` |\n| `pdf` | nothing for text in the default vector mode; `pdf-lib@^1.17.1` for `--pdf-mode raster`; `sharp@^0.35.5` when the deck has pictures |\n| `svg` | the fonts only |\n| `pptx`, `import` | `@openpresentation/opf-pptx` (an SVG picture in a PPTX is rasterized by the renderer, so `@resvg/resvg-js`) |\n\nA converter or font package that is missing is reported as the same missing-peer error as a missing renderer: the command\nexits 2 with `code: \"peer-not-installed\"` and the renderer's own install command in `error`, with `package` (or `packages`),\n`range`, `install` and `purpose` beside it; `convert` of `@openpresentation/opf/node` throws `OPFExportError` with the same `code` and `details`.\n\n## From code\n\nThe commands are the CLI; the engine they run is core's `@openpresentation/opf/node`, which an application imports instead\nof spawning `opf`:\n\n```ts\nimport * as opf from \"@openpresentation/opf/node\";\n\nawait opf.convert(\"deck.opf.md\", \"deck.pdf\");                         // opf convert deck.opf.md deck.pdf\nconst { files } = await opf.convert(deck, { format: \"png\", scale: 2 }); // bytes, nothing written\nconst deck = await opf.open(\"deck.pptx\");                             // import\n```\n\nThe options are the flags in camel case (`--pdf-mode` is `pdfMode`, `--font-dir` is `fontDirs`, `--asset-dir` is\n`assetDir`, `--include-hidden` is `includeHidden`). The commands refuse an existing output without `--force`; `convert` replaces it unless\n`overwrite: false`. The error codes are the commands': `peer-not-installed`,\n`peer-too-old`, `peer-load-failed`, `invalid-option` and `input-not-found` (command exit 2), `invalid-presentation`,\n`no-slides`, `all-slides-hidden`, `export-failed`, `import-failed` and `output-exists` (1). See [OPF files in Node](node.md).\n\n## `opf render`\n\n```sh\nopf render deck.opf.json [--slides 1,3-5] [--include-hidden] [--format svg|png] [--scale N] [--out dir|file|-]\n```\n\nOne file per slide: `<name>-001.svg` (or `.png`) in `--out` (default `<name>-slides/`). `--format` defaults to `svg`, or to the\nformat `--out` names: `--out slide.png` is PNG. An `--out` with another file extension (`deck.pdf`, `deck.txt`) is a usage\nerror (exit 2), so it never becomes a folder of that name. See [Output names](#output-names) for `<name>`.\nSlides marked `hidden: true` are skipped, as in the presenter, unless `--include-hidden`; the numbers in file names stay the\nslide numbers of the document, so skipping slide 2 writes `-001` and `-003`. `--slides` takes one-based\nnumbers and ranges (`1,3-5`, `2-` to the end, `-3` from the start). `--format` defaults to `svg`. `--scale` (0.1 to 8,\ndefault 1) sets the PNG pixel density against the 1280 x 720 reference slide. `--out -` writes one slide to stdout.\n\nAn SVG is standalone: it embeds the faces its text names (a Latin slide carries about 2 MB of font data), never the\nwhole pack. `--svg-fonts none` leaves the fonts out for a smaller file that depends on the viewer's fonts. PNG and PDF\noutput reads the same font files and embeds nothing.\n\n## `opf export`\n\n```sh\nopf export deck.opf.json --format pptx|pdf|png|svg [--out file|dir|.zip|-] [--slides 1,3-5] [--include-hidden]\n           [--pdf-mode vector|raster] [--chartex auto|native|fallback]\n           [--provenance full|references-only|none] [--image-format compatible|preserve]\n```\n\n| Format | Output | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| `pptx` | `<name>.pptx` | opf-pptx `toPptx`. The whole deck (`--slides` is refused). `--chartex`, `--provenance` and `--image-format` are the `toPptx` options of the same names (`none` writes no provenance tags). |\n| `pdf` | `<name>.pdf` | One page per selected slide. `--pdf-mode` picks `vector` (selectable text, the default) or `raster` (one image per page). The report states the mode used (`pdf.mode`). |\n| `png`, `svg` | a directory, one file (`--out x.png`, one slide), or a zip (`--out x.zip`) | As `render`. Zip entries are stored (not deflated) with a fixed timestamp, so the archive is byte-identical everywhere. |\n\nThe format is taken from `--out`'s extension when `--format` is omitted (`.pptx`, `.pdf`, `.png`, `.svg`), with the rule\n`opf convert` uses. A `--format` that disagrees with that extension, and an `--out` with another file extension, are usage\nerrors (exit 2).\n\nThe PDF and the `png` and `svg` outputs skip hidden slides unless `--include-hidden`. The `pptx` output always carries them, as hidden slides (`--include-hidden` is refused for it).\n\n## `opf import`\n\n```sh\nopf import deck.pptx [--out deck.opf.json|-] [--signals signals.json]\n```\n\n`fromPptx` to an OPF document (default `<name>.opf.json` in the working directory; `-` reads or writes stdin/stdout).\nImport is a conversion, not a lossless round trip for arbitrary decks: what it cannot keep is reported as `import/...`\ndiagnostics. `--signals` also writes the raw per-shape layout and style signals (`fromPptx` with `signals: true`, which returns\n`{ presentation, signals }`). The signals are deterministic data; they never leave the machine.\nAI reconstruction of third-party decks is not part of the CLI (it lives in pptx.dev).\n\n## `opf convert`\n\n```sh\nopf convert deck.opf.md deck.pdf\nopf convert deck.opf.md slides/deck.png --slides 1-3 --scale 2   # slides/deck-001.png, -002, -003\nopf convert deck.opf.md slides.zip --format svg\nopf convert deck.pptx deck.opf.yaml\nopf convert deck.opf.json deck.opf.md\n```\n\nOne file to another, the formats named by the extensions. The input is `.pptx` (imported), `.opf.md`, `.yaml`/`.yml` or\n`.json`; the output is `.pdf`, `.pptx`, `.png`, `.svg`, `.zip`, `.opf.md`, `.yaml`/`.yml` or `.json`. Any other extension,\nand stdin or stdout (`-`), is a usage error (exit 2) that names the supported ones.\n\n| Output | Written as |\n| --- | --- |\n| `.pdf`, `.pptx` | one file |\n| `.png`, `.svg` | one file per slide beside the output, named after it: `slides/deck.png` writes `slides/deck-001.png`, `-002`, ... (the numbers are the deck's slide numbers, padded as `render` pads them). One selected slide, or a one-slide deck, is written to the output name itself, as `opf render --out slide.png` does. |\n| `.zip` | one archive of the slides, named as above inside it: PNG, or SVG with `--format svg` |\n| `.opf.md`, `.yaml`, `.yml`, `.json` | the deck in that form |\n\nThe flags are those of `opf export` (`--slides`, `--scale`, `--pdf-mode`, `--svg-fonts`, `--chartex`, `--provenance`,\n`--image-format`, `--paginate`, `--include-hidden`, `--date`, `--font-dir`, `--asset-dir`, `--force`, `--fail-on`, `--json`);\n`--format` is needed only for a `.zip`. A flag that does not apply to the pair (`--scale` for a deck output, `--slides` for a\nPPTX) is a usage error. Relative images resolve next to the input file unless `--asset-dir`. Parent folders are created; every\nfile is produced before any is written, each through a temporary sibling and a rename; an existing output needs `--force`.\n\nThe report is `opf export`'s (`command: \"convert\"`, `format`, `ok`, `valid`, `written`, `input`, `outputs` with SHA-256\ndigests, `findings`, `counts`, `checks`, the engines' versions and, for drawn output, `fonts`). A `.pptx` input is imported,\nchecked and then written or drawn; `findings` holds both steps (`import/` rules from the importer). The exit codes are\n`export`'s.\n\n## Options shared by `render` and `export`\n\n### Output names\n\nFiles are named by the deck: its root `filename` (a trailing `.pptx`, `.pdf`, `.png` or `.svg` is dropped, in any case), else\nits `name` slugified (`Q4 Review / 2026` becomes `Q4-Review-2026`), else the input file's stem (`deck.opf.json` gives `deck`).\nThe same rule names the editor's downloads. An explicit `--out` is used as given.\n\n### Hidden slides\n\n`render` and `export` skip slides marked `hidden: true` when they write one file per slide, a zip or a PDF, because a hidden slide is\nnot part of the presented sequence. `--include-hidden` writes them too. Slides named with `--slides` are always written, hidden or\nnot. The report lists the slide numbers left out in `skippedHidden`. A deck whose every slide is hidden exits 1 and names the flag.\n\n\n| Option | Meaning |\n| --- | --- |\n| `--include-hidden` | Write hidden slides too (per-slide images, zips and PDF). See [Hidden slides](#hidden-slides). |\n| `--paginate` | Paginate with the same fonts first (as `opf paginate` does, but measured), so overflowing slides split instead of reporting `text-overflow`. `--slides` then counts the paginated slides. |\n| `--date YYYY-MM-DD` | The date for `date: true` header and footer fields. The CLI never reads a clock; without it a current date is reported as unresolved. |\n| `--font-dir <directory>` (repeatable) | Your own `.ttf`/`.otf` files, loaded in addition to the bundled pack, directly inside the directory, sorted by name. A face that repeats a bundled family, weight and style is refused. |\n| `--asset-dir <directory>` | The folder relative image paths resolve against and the only folder read. Default: the document's folder (the working directory for stdin). |\n| `--fail-on <error\\|warning\\|info>` | Findings at or above this severity fail, and nothing is written (default `error`). `--fail-on warning` fails on warnings; every command that checks a document takes it. |\n| `--force` | Replace existing outputs. Without it any existing destination exits 1 before anything is written. |\n| `--json` | Accepted for scripts that pass it everywhere. JSON is the default report format; `--format text` selects human-readable diagnostics on commands that support it. |\n\n## Fonts\n\nThe renderer's bundled open font pack (the office pack: Carlito, Intos for Aptos, the open families font schemes\nselect and the open replacements the font policy routes proprietary families to, with lazy faces) with the visual\nsubstitution policy, plus the files from `--font-dir`. **System fonts are never loaded**, and nothing is downloaded.\nFont substitutions are listed under `fonts.substitutions` in the report with their `compatibility` (`metric` or\n`visual`). The PPTX keeps the font names the document chose.\n\nScripts beyond Latin, Greek and Cyrillic need the optional Noto script packages of the renderer\n(`@expo-google-fonts/noto-sans-jp` and so on). Install the ones named in the `fonts/script-font-not-installed`\ndiagnostic next to the CLI; without them, text the loaded faces cannot draw is the error `render/missing-glyph`.\nStandalone SVG (`--svg-fonts used`, the default) embeds the installed script faces its text uses, just like Latin faces.\n`--svg-fonts none` omits all font bytes and requires the viewer to provide the matching families.\n\n## Images and assets\n\nRelative image paths and `file:` paths resolve against the document's folder (or `--asset-dir`). Only `.png`, `.jpg`,\n`.jpeg`, `.gif`, `.webp` and `.svg` files whose content matches are read, and only inside that folder (symlinks are\nresolved first), so a document cannot pull another file on the machine into an output. URLs are never fetched. For SVG\nand PNG output, an unreadable image draws the renderer's placeholder with an `unresolved-asset` or `cli/asset-blocked`\nwarning. For PPTX an unreadable or blocked local path stops the export (`pptx/asset-unresolved`): opf-pptx would otherwise read the path itself.\nAn unresolved remote URL is never fetched; the exporter can write an unavailable-image placeholder with a\n`pptx/unresolved-asset` warning. Use `--fail-on warning` to reject that incomplete output before any file is written. SVG\npictures in a PPTX get their PNG fallback from the CLI's own opf-render install (`svgRasterizer`), so they export\nwhichever way the packages were installed.\n\n## Markdown and YAML\n\nJSON stays the canonical form of a deck. YAML (`deck.opf.yaml`) and Markdown (`deck.opf.md`) are authoring forms of the same data, and every command that reads or writes a deck reads and writes all three. Two more groups of commands convert between a deck and text, with no renderer: they are core features (`@openpresentation/opf/markdown` and `@openpresentation/opf/yaml`) and need no optional peer.\n\n```sh\nopf from-md deck.md deck.opf.json            # Markdown in the OPF dialect to a validated deck\nopf to-md deck.opf.json deck.md              # a deck as Markdown that reads back unchanged\nopf from-yaml deck.opf.yaml deck.opf.json    # strict YAML to a validated deck (--aliases expands anchors)\nopf to-yaml deck.opf.json deck.opf.yaml --schema-comment\nopf validate deck.opf.yaml                   # every command that reads a deck reads .yaml and .yml files\nopf validate deck.opf.md                     # ... and .opf.md Markdown decks (a plain .md file is never a deck)\nopf edit deck.opf.md --patch changes.json --in-place   # the file stays Markdown\nopf format deck.opf.md --check               # canonical Markdown\nopf render deck.opf.md --out slides\nopf edit deck.opf.json --patch changes.json --output deck.opf.yaml   # or --format yaml\nopf validate - --input-format yaml < deck.txt     # json (default), yaml or markdown (md)\n```\n\n- `from-md` and `to-md` follow the Markdown dialect (YAML front matter, `---` between slides, `#` title, lists, tables, `chart`, `metric` and `timeline` fences, speaker notes): see [Markdown and outlines](markdown.md). `from-md --format yaml` or a `.yaml` output writes the deck as YAML.\n- `from-yaml` and `to-yaml` read and write a deck as JSON-compatible YAML 1.2, with canonical key order and an optional `# yaml-language-server` line for editor validation: see [OPF as YAML](yaml.md). A file ending `.yaml` or `.yml` is read as YAML by every command; stdin and other names are JSON unless `--input-format yaml` is given. Commands that write a deck write YAML for an output ending `.yaml`/`.yml` or with `--format yaml`. A YAML syntax error exits 2 with the line and column (`opf validate` reports it as a `yaml/<rule>` finding and exits 1); commands that rewrite a YAML file do not preserve its comments and say so on stderr.\n- A file ending `.opf.md` is read as a Markdown deck by every command, and `--input-format markdown` (or `md`) reads stdin and other names that way. A command that writes a deck writes Markdown for an output ending `.opf.md` or with `--format markdown`, and otherwise the format it read; `opf format deck.opf.md` canonicalizes it. A Markdown syntax error exits 2 with `line:column` (`opf validate` reports it as a `markdown/<rule>` finding and exits 1), and a rewrite that has to put content into an `opf-slide`/`opf-block` fence says so on stderr. See [Markdown decks in every command](markdown.md#markdown-decks-in-every-command).\n- All of them print JSON reports (on stderr when stdout carries the document) and use the exit codes below: 0 success, 1 invalid content, an output conflict or a finding at or above `--fail-on`, 2 usage, a read error or I/O.\n\n## Diagnostics and exit codes\n\nThe report is the [`opf validate`](validate.md) report with the written files added: `ok`, `valid`, `schemaValid`,\n`findings` (`ruleId`, `severity`, `category`, JSON Pointer `path`, `scope`, `message`, `help`), `counts`, `checks`, `sha256` and\n`opfVersion`. The document's format and references are checked first (not accessibility or layout rules: a contrast\nwarning never blocks a write); an invalid one exits 1 and nothing is rendered. Library findings are added with the\nprefix `render/`, `pptx/`, `pdf/`, `fonts/`, `import/` or `cli/` (the same word is their category), for example\n`render/text-overflow`. Notes (`font-glyph-fallback`, `pdf-font-embedded`, `svg-sanitized`) are `info`; everything else a\nlibrary reports is a `warning`; a failed render, export or import is an `error`. `checks.layout` is `measured`: the\nCLI measures text with the fonts it loaded.\n\n`outputs` lists each file with `sha256`, `bytes`, `mediaType`, and for slides `slide`, `id`, `width`, `height`.\n`renderer` and `pptx` give the package versions used. With `--out -` the file goes to stdout and the report to stderr.\n\nExit `0`: success (warnings allowed). Exit `1`: invalid document, error finding, a finding at or above `--fail-on`, or an\nexisting output. Exit `2`: usage, I/O, a missing or too-old peer, a font directory problem.

+    "title": "The `opf` CLI",
+    "markdown": '# The `opf` CLI\n\nThe CLI (`@openpresentation/cli`, binary `opf`, Node 22 or later; verified on Node 24) creates, checks, edits, converts and\ninspects decks (see [its README](../packages/cli/README.md)). `opf validate` is the one checker ([validate](validate.md)).\n`opf convert` is the one command that changes formats: a deck form, PDF, PPTX, PNG and SVG. Every command runs core\'s\nfunctions, the ones applications call from [`@openpresentation/opf`](node.md); the commands add the flags, the JSON report and\nthe exit codes.\n\nEverything is deterministic and local: no network, no model, no telemetry, no system fonts. The same document, options and\ninstalled package versions give the same bytes on every operating system.\n\n## Commands\n\n| Command | What it does |\n| --- | --- |\n| `opf create [output] [--title <text> \\| --example <slug>]` | A one-slide starter deck, or one of core\'s bundled examples (`opf catalog examples` lists them). |\n| `opf validate <file\\|dir\\|->...` | The one checker: format, references, policy, accessibility, layout, content. Several files, folders and stdin in one run; `--format json\\|text\\|github`. |\n| `opf convert <input> <output>` | Any change of format: `.json`, `.opf.yaml`, `.opf.md` (and a plain `.md` input), `.pptx`, `.pdf`, `.png`, `.svg`, `.zip`, or stdin and stdout. |\n| `opf edit <file> [output] --patch <patch>` | A JSON Patch, applied whole or not at all, the result checked. |\n| `opf format <file>... [output]` | Canonical key order and layout, in the form the file has. |\n| `opf diff <a> <b>` | What changed between two decks (`--format text\\|json\\|patch`). |\n| `opf merge <base> <ours> <theirs> [output]` | A three-way merge; conflicts are listed. |\n| `opf stats <file>` | Neutral facts about a deck (`--format json\\|text`). |\n| `opf paginate <input> [output]` | Overflowing slides split into continuation slides, measured with the renderer\'s fonts when it is installed. |\n| `opf embed <input> [output]` | The catalog records a deck references, copied into it. |\n| `opf fill <template> <data> [output]` | A template\'s variables filled: one deck per record (the output is a name pattern), or `--combine`. The second argument is always the data (`-` for stdin). |\n| `opf ingest <data> [output] --as table\\|chart` | CSV, TSV or JSON rows as a table or chart slide, alone or added `--into` a deck. |\n| `opf doctor [deck]` | Which formats this install can write, and the one command that installs what is missing. |\n| `opf schemas`, `opf schema [name] [pointer]` | The OPF schemas. |\n| `opf catalogs`, `opf catalog <kind> [id]`, `opf catalog examples [slug]` | The default catalog and the bundled example decks. |\n| `opf skills <install\\|update\\|status>` | The six bundled agent skills. |\n\n`opf <command> --help` (or `-h`, or `opf help <command>`) prints a command\'s flags and examples.\n\nRemoved in 0.18 (each is a usage error, exit 2, that names its replacement): `opf render`, `opf export`, `opf import`,\n`opf from-md`, `opf to-md`, `opf from-yaml` and `opf to-yaml` (all `opf convert`), `opf create --from` (`opf convert`), and the\nflags `--output`, `--out`, `--out-dir` and `--name` (a positional output), `--input-format` (`--from`), `--json` (reports are\nJSON), `--dry-run` (stdout), `--data` (fill\'s second argument) and the deck values of `--format` (`--to`).\n\n## One output convention\n\nEvery command that writes a deck takes the same arguments:\n\n| Form | Meaning |\n| --- | --- |\n| `opf embed deck.opf.json` | No output: the deck goes to stdout, the report to stderr. `-` says the same. |\n| `opf embed deck.opf.json out.opf.json` | An output after the inputs: written atomically (a temporary sibling, then a rename); an existing file needs `--force`. |\n| `opf embed deck.opf.json -i` | `-i` (`--in-place`) rewrites the input, refusing if it changed since it was read. Not for stdin, and not with an output. |\n| `opf embed deck.opf.json --check` | Writes nothing and exits 1 when the command would change something: `format --check` (not canonical), `embed --check` (not self-contained) and `paginate --check` (a slide overflows). |\n\nThe form written is the output\'s extension (`.json`, `.opf.yaml`/`.yml`, `.opf.md`), else `--to json|yaml|md`, else the form\nthat was read. An existing output is refused before anything is printed or written.\n\n`opf fill` writes one deck per record through a file name pattern: `{n}` is the record number, `{column}` a slug of that\ncolumn\'s value (`opf fill t.opf.md clients.csv decks/qbr-{client}.opf.md`); `--combine` writes one deck with every record\'s slides.\n\n## What each flag means\n\n| Flag | Meaning |\n| --- | --- |\n| `--format json\\|text\\|github\\|patch` | The report format only: `json` (the default), `text`, `github` (validate\'s workflow annotations) or `patch` (diff\'s JSON Patch). |\n| `--from json\\|yaml\\|md` | The form of a deck input: stdin, and names that say none. Without it, a name ending `.json`, `.opf.yaml`, `.yaml`, `.yml` or `.opf.md` says the form, and text that starts with `{` or `[` is JSON; anything else is a usage error that asks for `--from yaml\\|md`. `opf convert` also takes `--from pptx`. |\n| `--to json\\|yaml\\|md` | The form of a deck output, for stdout and names that say none. `opf convert` also takes `pdf`, `pptx`, `png`, `svg` and `zip`. A `--to` that disagrees with the output\'s extension is refused. |\n| `--data-format csv\\|tsv\\|json` | The form of the data of `opf fill` and `opf ingest` (default: the extension, else JSON when it starts with `{` or `[`, else CSV). |\n| `--fail-on error\\|warning\\|info` | Findings at or above this severity fail the command (exit 1) and nothing is written (default `error`). |\n| `--force` | Replace an existing output. |\n\n## Install\n\nDeck forms (JSON, YAML, Markdown) need nothing beyond the CLI. PDF, PNG and SVG need `@openpresentation/opf-render`; PPTX output\nand `.pptx` input also need `@openpresentation/opf-pptx`. Both are **optional peer dependencies** of the CLI and of core (decision\nRR-27, below), loaded the first time a command needs them, from beside the CLI first and from the working directory second.\n\n`opf doctor` says what this install can write and prints the one command that installs the rest:\n\n```sh\nopf doctor --format text          # per format: ready, or what is missing; then one install command\nopf doctor deck.opf.md            # JSON; with a deck, a PDF needs sharp only when the deck has pictures\n```\n\nThe command matches the package manager that runs the CLI (`npm_config_user_agent`: npm, pnpm, yarn or bun) and the way the CLI\nis installed: global (`npm install -g ...`), a project (`npm install ...`), or one npx run (`npx -p @openpresentation/cli -p ... opf <command>`).\nA conversion that misses a peer exits 2 with `code: "peer-not-installed"` (or `peer-too-old`), and its `install` field and message\ncarry that one command for the format asked for. What each output needs beside `@openpresentation/opf-render`:\n\n| Output | Also install |\n| --- | --- |\n| every drawn format (the office font pack) | `@expo-google-fonts/roboto@0.4.3 @expo-google-fonts/roboto-mono@0.4.2 @expo-google-fonts/caladea@0.4.2 @expo-google-fonts/arimo@0.4.3 @expo-google-fonts/tinos@0.4.2 @expo-google-fonts/cousine@0.4.3 @expo-google-fonts/gelasio@0.4.1 @expo-google-fonts/noto-sans@0.4.2` |\n| `png` | `@resvg/resvg-js@^2.6.2 sharp@^0.35.5` |\n| `pdf` | nothing for text in the default vector mode; `pdf-lib@^1.17.1` for `--raster`; `sharp@^0.35.5` when the deck has pictures |\n| `svg` | the fonts only |\n| `pptx`, a `.pptx` input | `@openpresentation/opf-pptx` |\n\n## From code\n\nThe engine the commands run is core\'s `@openpresentation/opf` in Node, which an application imports instead of spawning `opf`.\nIn Node, `validate`, `stats`, `paginate`, `embed` and `edit` register the default catalog when a call names none, as the commands\ndo, so `opf validate deck` and `validate(deck)` agree:\n\n```ts\nimport * as opf from "@openpresentation/opf";\n\nawait opf.convert("deck.opf.md", "deck.pdf");                         // opf convert deck.opf.md deck.pdf\nconst { files } = await opf.convert(deck, { format: "png", scale: 2 }); // bytes, nothing written\nconst deck = await opf.open("deck.pptx");                             // opf convert deck.pptx -\nconst { presentation } = opf.edit(deck, patch);                       // opf edit deck --patch patch.json\nconst { decks } = opf.fill(template, csvText);                        // opf fill template data.csv out-{n}.opf.json\n```\n\nThe options are the flags in camel case (`--raster` is `raster: true`, `--fonts` is `fonts` (a folder or a list of folders),\n`--asset-dir` is `assetDir`, `--include-hidden` is `includeHidden`). The commands refuse an existing output without `--force`;\n`convert` replaces it unless `overwrite: false`. See [OPF files in Node](node.md).\n\n## `opf convert`\n\n```sh\nopf convert deck.opf.md deck.pdf\nopf convert deck.opf.md slides/deck.png --slides 1,3-5 --scale 2   # slides/deck-001.png, -003, -004, -005\nopf convert deck.opf.md slides.zip --to svg\nopf convert deck.pptx deck.opf.md --signals signals.json\nopf convert outline.md deck.opf.yaml                                 # a plain .md input is OPF Markdown\nopf convert deck.opf.json deck.opf.yaml --schema-comment\nopf convert deck.opf.md - --to pdf > deck.pdf\n```\n\n| Output | Written as |\n| --- | --- |\n| `.pdf`, `.pptx` | one file |\n| `.png`, `.svg` | one file per slide beside the output, named after it: `slides/deck.png` writes `slides/deck-001.png`, `-002`, ... (the deck\'s slide numbers). One selected slide, or a one-slide deck, is written to the output itself. The extension is the format: `deck.png` is always PNG. |\n| `.zip` | one archive of the slides, named as above inside it: PNG, or SVG with `--to svg`. Entries are stored with a fixed timestamp, so the archive is byte-identical everywhere. |\n| `.json`, `.opf.yaml`, `.yml`, `.opf.md` | the deck in that form |\n| `-` | stdout, with `--to`: one file (`pdf`, `pptx`, `zip`, a deck form, or one slide as `png` or `svg`) |\n\nA flag applies only when its format is involved; anywhere else it is a usage error (exit 2, `option-not-applicable`):\n\n| Involved | Flags |\n| --- | --- |\n| a Markdown input | `--split auto\\|rules\\|headings` (default `auto`: slides at `---` lines, and an outline with none at its `#` headings), `--title <text>` (the deck name unless the front matter sets one) |\n| a YAML input | `--aliases` (expand anchors, aliases and merge keys, at most 100) |\n| a `.pptx` input | `--signals <file>` (also write the raw per-shape layout and style signals, `fromPptx` with `signals: true`) |\n| a YAML output | `--schema-comment` (the `# yaml-language-server: $schema=...` line) |\n| a Markdown output | `--drop-unsupported` (leave out what the dialect has no syntax for and list it as loss, instead of embedding it as YAML in a fence) |\n| pdf, png, svg | `--slides 1,3-5` (one-based; `2-` to the end), `--include-hidden` |\n| pdf, png, svg, pptx | `--paginate`, `--date YYYY-MM-DD`, `--fonts <dir>` (repeatable), `--asset-dir <dir>` |\n| png, raster pdf | `--scale 0.1-8` (1 draws the 1280 x 720 reference slide at 1280 x 720 pixels) |\n| pdf | `--raster` (each page a picture instead of selectable vector text) |\n| svg | `--text fonts\\|system\\|paths` (embed the faces the slide uses, none, or draw glyph outlines) |\n| pptx | `--charts auto\\|native\\|picture`, `--images compatible\\|preserve`, `--provenance full\\|references-only\\|none` |\n\nA `.pptx` input is imported, checked and then written or drawn; `findings` holds both steps (`import/` rules from the importer).\nPer-slide images and the PDF skip slides marked `hidden: true` unless `--include-hidden`; slides named with `--slides` are always\nwritten, and the report lists the slides left out in `skippedHidden`. The PPTX keeps a hidden slide as a hidden slide.\n\n## The other commands\n\n- **`opf create`** writes a starter deck (`--title`) or a bundled example (`--example <slug>`, from `opf catalog examples`).\n- **`opf validate`** checks files, folders (their `*.opf.json`, `*.opf.yaml`, `*.opf.yml` and `*.opf.md`, sorted, skipping\n  `node_modules` and dot folders) and `-`. One input prints its report; several print `{ command, ok, files: [reports], counts }`.\n  The exit status is the worst over every file. `--format github` prints `::error`, `::warning` and `::notice` annotations with the\n  file, line and column. See [validate](validate.md).\n- **`opf paginate`** measures the page breaks with the fonts `opf convert --paginate` draws with when `@openpresentation/opf-render`\n  is installed (`layout: "measured"`); without it they are estimated (`layout: "estimated"`) and `hint` names the install command.\n- **`opf fill`** reads CSV, TSV or JSON data; a blank cell keeps the variable\'s declared value; an unfilled required variable fails\n  unless `--partial`; `--examples` fills from the declared examples. The second argument is always the data, whatever its name\n  (`-` reads it from stdin), and the third is the output; a template alone fills from its own values, to stdout.\n- **`opf ingest`** gives the same slide id and bytes for the same inputs; `--dataset <id>` stores the rows in the deck\'s datasets.\n\n## Reports and errors\n\nEvery command that reports prints one envelope:\n\n```json\n{ "command": "convert", "ok": true, "input": { "file": "/abs/deck.opf.md", "sha256": "\u2026", "bytes": 1234 },\n  "outputs": [{ "file": "/abs/deck.pdf", "sha256": "\u2026", "bytes": 56789, "mediaType": "application/pdf" }],\n  "findings": [], "counts": { "error": 0, "warning": 0, "info": 0 }, "format": "pdf", "\u2026": "\u2026" }\n```\n\n`input` is `null` when nothing was read and a list when several were (diff, merge, fill). The report is on stdout, or on stderr when\nstdout carries the document. Findings have the [`opf validate`](validate.md) shape (`ruleId`, `severity`, `category`, JSON Pointer\n`path`, `message`, `help`, and `location` when read from text); engine findings carry the prefix `render/`, `pptx/`, `pdf/`,\n`fonts/`, `import/` or `cli/`. The lookup commands (`schemas`, `schema`, `catalogs`, `catalog`, `--version`) print the data asked for.\n\nErrors are `{ command, ok: false, code, error, ... }` on stderr. The message states the fix: a missing argument names it and\nprints the usage, an unknown command, option or value suggests the nearest one ("Did you mean --check?"), and a removed command\nor flag names its replacement. Codes include `usage`, `unknown-command`, `unknown-option`, `removed-command`, `removed-option`,\n`missing-argument`, `extra-argument`, `missing-value`, `invalid-value`, `option-not-applicable`, `unknown-input-format`,\n`input-not-found`, `invalid-json`, `invalid-yaml`, `invalid-markdown`, `invalid-document`, `findings-at-fail-on`,\n`output-exists`, `merge-conflict`, `fill-failed`, `peer-not-installed` and `peer-too-old`.\n\nExit `0`: success (warnings allowed). Exit `1`: an invalid document, a finding at or above `--fail-on`, an existing output, a\nmerge conflict, or a `--check` that found a change. Exit `2`: usage, a read or I/O problem, text that is not valid JSON, YAML or\nMarkdown, or a missing or too-old peer. (`opf validate` reports text that does not parse as a finding, exit 1.)\n\n## Fonts\n\nThe renderer\'s bundled open font pack (the office pack: Carlito, Intos for Aptos, the open families font schemes select and the\nopen replacements the font policy routes proprietary families to) with the visual substitution policy, plus the files from\n`--fonts`. **System fonts are never loaded**, and nothing is downloaded. Font substitutions are listed under\n`fonts.substitutions` in the report. The PPTX keeps the font names the document chose.\n\nScripts beyond Latin, Greek and Cyrillic need the optional Noto script packages of the renderer (`@expo-google-fonts/noto-sans-jp`\nand so on); install the ones named in the `fonts/script-font-not-installed` diagnostic next to the CLI. A standalone SVG\n(`--text fonts`, the default) embeds the faces its text uses; `--text system` omits all font bytes; `--text paths` draws the text\nas glyph outlines (the real text kept invisible beside it for selection and search), so the SVG needs no font.\n\n## Images and assets\n\nRelative image paths and `file:` paths resolve against the input\'s folder (or `--asset-dir`). Only `.png`, `.jpg`, `.jpeg`,\n`.gif`, `.webp` and `.svg` files whose content matches are read, and only inside that folder (symlinks are resolved first). URLs\nare never fetched. For SVG and PNG an unreadable image draws the renderer\'s placeholder with an `unresolved-asset` or\n`cli/asset-blocked` warning; for PPTX an unreadable or blocked local path stops the export (`pptx/asset-unresolved`), and an\nunresolved remote URL becomes an unavailable-image placeholder with a `pptx/unresolved-asset` warning. Use `--fail-on warning` to\nreject that output before any file is written.\n\n## Markdown and YAML\n\nJSON stays the canonical form of a deck. YAML (`deck.opf.yaml`) and Markdown (`deck.opf.md`) are authoring forms of the same data,\nand every command that reads or writes a deck reads and writes all three:\n\n```sh\nopf convert deck.md deck.opf.json                      # Markdown in the OPF dialect (or an outline) to a deck\nopf convert deck.opf.json deck.opf.md                  # a deck as Markdown that reads back unchanged\nopf convert deck.opf.yaml deck.opf.json --aliases      # strict YAML (--aliases expands anchors)\nopf validate deck.opf.yaml deck.opf.md                 # every command reads .yaml, .yml and .opf.md\nopf edit deck.opf.md --patch changes.json -i           # the file stays Markdown\nopf format deck.opf.md --check                         # canonical Markdown\nopf validate - --from yaml < deck.txt                  # stdin and other names: --from\n```\n\nSee [Markdown and outlines](markdown.md) and [OPF as YAML](yaml.md). A syntax error exits 2 with the line and column (`opf\nvalidate` reports it as a `yaml/<rule>` or `markdown/<rule>` finding and exits 1); a command that rewrites a YAML file does not\nkeep its comments and says so on stderr, and one that has to put content into an `opf-slide`/`opf-block` fence says so too.\n\n## Runtime choices\n\n- **Peers, not bundled.** opf-render and opf-pptx are optional peer dependencies loaded lazily. opf-pptx pulls the native `sharp`\n  engine, opf-render `resvg`, `fontkit` and the font packs (about 135 MB installed); bundling them would make the small CLI\n  impossible to install offline or on a locked-down agent host, and validating or editing a deck would pay for it.\n- **JSON reports.** `--format text` gives human-readable output where a command has it; `--format github` gives CI annotations.\n- **No clock.** `--date` is explicit so a rerun tomorrow gives the same bytes.\n- **Fonts are the bundled pack plus `--fonts`.** Never system fonts (owner font policy).\n- **Stored zip entries.** Deflate output differs between zlib builds, which would make archive hashes host-dependent.\n\n## Catalog names\n\n`opf catalogs` lists canonical camelCase names such as `colorSchemes` and `fontSchemes`, and `examples`. `opf catalog` also\naccepts the website-style `color-schemes`, `font-schemes` and `chart-types` spellings.\n'

Published PPTX through 0.11.8 draws every part that way, not as native\nOffice Header/Footer objects. PPTX 0.11.9 and later (RR-11) write the footer's\nfirst text, date and slide number as native `ftr`, `dt` and `sldNum` placeholders\n(with master/layout placeholders, `p:hf` flags and a notes-master flag) at the same\ngeometry and reads them back with or without provenance; the rest stays tagged\nshapes. Native PowerPoint acceptance remains [issue 87](https://github.com/OpenPresentation/opf/issues/87).\n\nThe [Windows native-picture checkpoint](evidence/windows-native-picture-20260921/README.md)\nand accepted [native B/C bundle](evidence/windows-native-edits-20260921/README.md)\nrecord finite picture/furniture edits, current-content provenance reimport and\nsafe fallback, production notes packaging and two controlled reordered-file\nrefusals. Core105 publishes that evidence; PPTX47 adds the tested harness, with\nno new package version. UI image replacement changes geometry, longer header\ntext clips, and duplicated tagged headers overlap. Refused workers retain their\nfailed cleanup state separately from later empty-workspace observations.\nThis is not general native layout/reflow fidelity.\n\nAccepted core106's [tab and font checkpoint](evidence/windows-native-tabs-fonts-20260921/README.md)\nrecords plain native tab target error **0.022655487060546875pt** and tab/literal\ndifference **0.022678375244140625pt**, both above the unchanged **0.02pt** gate.\nIts bounded four-face Carlito edit/save/reopen control passes exact text/style\npersistence, zero observed bounds drift, matching rasters and owned font cleanup.\nMixed-size table fidelity, physical glyph-font identity, fallback/synthesis and actual embedding remain\nopen; embedding was disabled for this control. The Windows supervisor retains sole\nOffice control. This documentation task reads evidence and makes no Office calls.\n\nThe later [read-only font inventory](evidence/windows-native-font-inventory-20260921/README.md)\nretains the four Carlito text styles but reports both Carlito and unexpected\nAptos in `Presentation.Fonts`. The native font allowlist fails, and no embedding\nwas attempted. The original parent report incorrectly fails cleanup because of\na Windows PowerShell 5.1 JSON-array parsing defect; raw stages and registration\nrows establish one owned close and four removals in a separately labeled offline\naudit. The raw failure remains intact. Collection names and flags do not identify\nthe physical font used for each glyph.\n\nThe [read-only mixed-table observation](evidence/windows-native-mixed-table-20260921/README.md)\nretains all 245 characters, one literal tab and five authored runs, with outer\ngeometry within 0.02pt and confirmed owned close/font cleanup. Native soft-line\nboundaries are 92/194 versus the estimated preview's 78/172, and native default\ntab spacing is 72pt. These finite content/style results do not pass table\nedit/save/reopen, browser/native raster agreement or physical glyph identity.\nThe accepted [nine-pair offline tab analysis](evidence/windows-native-tab-analysis-20260921/REPORT.md)\nfinds a 0.05pt-compatible pattern in the observed character starts, with finer saved\ntab coordinates. These inputs do not distinguish relative versus absolute placement\nor establish an internal engine cause. The 0.02pt native tab gate remains failed;\nthe separate 0.1px renderer gate is unchanged.

The historical App47 **23/24** production run passes all five new completion cases but still fails the existing\nLF Author third-popup assertion. This does not establish complete public-surface\nacceptance; the [historical App47 report](evidence/completion-acceptance-20260921/canonical/REPORT.md)\nand [earlier failed app45/app46 results](evidence/issue88-final-20260921/README.md)\nretain their evidence and unresolved causes.\n\nThe [source audit](evidence/completion-acceptance-20260921/source-preservation-audit/REPORT.md)\nidentified Author canvas/Copy/export and Inspector JSON-download normalization.\nMerged App53 at\n`e40c287b64fcbcfb85fb4a8a50641aea8e3e54a8` has the identical reviewed b33dc18\ntree and preserves those bounded raw-source\npaths and corrects order-only reimport history. A public Suggest-action guard\naddresses the observed stale Quick Input context competing with focused-editor\nCtrl+Space. Current local checks pass **627 unit tests and 29/29 browser cases\nin 88.78 seconds**, zero retries. First-attempt Linux/Windows application CI\npassed 627 unit tests and 29 browser cases per platform; artifact CI also passed.\nThe [exact READY canonical run](evidence/author-source-acceptance-20260921/canonical/REPORT.md) passes **29/29**, zero retries, with matching deployment receipts before and after. Postmerge application CI fails Linux **28/29** while Windows passes **29/29**; both pass 627 unit tests and separate artifact CI passes. The [Linux failure](evidence/author-source-acceptance-20260921/app53/postmerge-ci/README.md) stops before security assertions because five default-deck canvases remain after the shared-load toast. No rerun or canonical pass replaces that failed gate. The retained draft preview was READY but not browser-accepted.\n\nThe earlier **24/27** import-undo regression, **26/27** local popup failure and\nold-head Windows **26/27** shared-load failure remain historical evidence.\nThe fresh successful Windows job retained its sanitized timing artifact, but\nonly Author timings survived; the Inspector pagehide snapshot is missing. This\ndoes not explain or fix the old readiness delay. Phase4\ncaptured no post-fix stale-context overlap, so causal stress is inconclusive.\nThe existing suggestion-details pane remains clipped; visibility is not legibility.\nThe [postmerge trace diagnosis](evidence/author-source-acceptance-20260921/inspector-share-diagnosis/REPORT.md)\nproves wrong-document automatic share-hash publication during import.\nApp54 first corrected automatic\npublication at `60c91f6`: authoritative source/format is checked before and after\nencoding, load/navigation guards remain, and obsolete `import=hash:` is removed.\nURL transfer preserves semantics, not raw spelling. Local 659-unit/31-browser\nacceptance does not replace original first-attempt CI **35638158483**, which\npassed Linux **31/31** but failed Windows **30/31** at the unchanged 45-second\nAuthor readiness deadline. Both publication cases passed. The [frozen diagnosis](evidence/inspector-share-acceptance-20260921/app54/windows-timeout/REPORT.md)\nretains bounded slow-delivery observations with unknown cause. Late assertions\nare not an in-budget pass. Browser History tests permit prior accepted content\nuntil first new publication; held-promise controls establish the narrower race guard.\n\nThe product correction was added at `57e5e59fddbc94346f142dc12d86a916228bf2ae`, tree\n`d9c3aab543c6a886a85c6ec07dd55e5ab22590cd`. It guards current snapshots for\nexplicit Copy/JSON/Share/PPTX/PDF/Author/Deckchat actions. Pending public canvas\ndrafts commit before capture, pointer-blur rejection survives session recovery,\nand newer source/load/navigation/unmount/action invalidates late results. Raw\nCopy and accepted same-format JSON bytes are preserved; handoffs remain semantic.\nAlready-started clipboard/download effects cannot be retroactively canceled.\nThe integrated portable standalone startup verifies packaged runtime assets,\nfonts and traced schema inputs without changing dependencies or published pins.\n\nLocal runtime checks pass **692 unit tests**, **7 standalone controls**, focused\n**8/8** and full **39/39** browser cases, zero retries, with visual review. The\nimmutable 93-file app bundle\nretains stale-draft negative evidence and the initial candidate **7/8** result.\nThe latter did not establish accepted pasted source before releasing mocked PDF 401;\nfinal visible-code preconditions change no product bytes or budgets. PDF/Deckchat\nare locally mocked. CRLF ingress normalized 279 to 274 LF bytes; subsequent exact\nactions preserve the accepted buffer, not that ingress boundary.\n\n**The original 57e packaging gate failed.** First-attempt CI **35645493900** failed Linux and\nWindows typecheck on archived `.spec.ts` evidence copies after each platform\npassed 692 units and 7 standalone controls. The exact-head preview failed with\n`module_not_found`; precise Vercel compiler logs were unavailable. [The first-attempt receipt](evidence/inspector-current-actions-20260921/app54/first57-ci/REPORT.md)\nrecords skipped build/browser steps and no uploaded artifacts. The passing runtime build\npredates those copies. A byte-identical `.ts.txt` archive correction produced captured App54 head\n`6dfc2584698c1306505929a2bc3e427996d66563`, tree\n`f3279495f7685945b7541c90d24f7239407639a0`. Its final-tree local typecheck passes\nwith all 305 product/test inputs unchanged. [The corrected receipt](evidence/inspector-current-actions-20260921/app54/corrected6df/commit-receipt.json)\nbinds its 106-file evidence bundle. [Exact-head CI 35646213757](evidence/inspector-current-actions-20260921/app54/corrected6df/ci/REPORT.md)\npasses 692 units, seven standalone controls, typechecks and build on both platforms;\nLinux passes **39/39** browsers. Windows executes **zero browser tests** because\nstandalone startup fails with `EPERM` while statting its packaged React dependency\nlink. No timing or test-result artifacts were uploaded. The exact-head preview\nis READY, which is metadata only; at that 6df checkpoint App54 was unmerged and undeployed to production.\nThe [current ledger](evidence/inspector-current-actions-20260921/README.md)\nretains the separate 60c readiness, 57e packaging and 6df startup failures. Production then remained App53 `e40c287`, with its original\nfailed Linux postmerge gate preserved separately from canonical **29/29**.\nThe startup-link correction at 4338e57\nthen reached all browser cases: Linux **39/39**, Windows **38/39** in first-attempt\nCI **35649707689**, with 692 units and 13 standalone controls passing per platform.\nThe sole Windows failure was initial canvas-title visibility at five seconds,\nbefore any edit/recovery operation; correct incoming source remained at loading\nfonts. Late font acquisition and eleven incomplete responses at teardown do not\nestablish a permanent stall or a dominant cause. The [failed gate](evidence/font-readiness-acceptance-20260921/README.md#preserved-failed-windows-gate)\nis preserved.\n\nApp54 font-preparation revision `a4eb88ab7aa585c9efb91de4c190c1f1c0c7d0eb`, tree\n`031d893855a540fd2a4d2ec2162605817b8dde16`, overlaps font acquisition with converter\nwarmup while readiness still waits for both. The offline converter barrier and all\n**33 faces / 9,317,044 bytes**, manifest, substitution/measurement policy and\n`document.fonts.ready` gate remain unchanged. Fresh local Node24.21.0 checks pass\n**704 units, 13 standalone controls and 39/39 browsers**, zero retries, including\nunchanged offline export/reimport. Immutable app evidence\nretains reviewed images, exact source/output bindings and the original failed run.\n\n**The original a4eb gate failed:** first-attempt application **35654753237** passes\nLinux **39/39** but fails Windows **38/39**; both pass 704 units, 13 standalone\ncontrols, typecheck and build. The Open in Author URL assertion exceeds its existing\nfive-second deadline at `inspector-actions.spec.ts:176`; later source checks are\nnot reached. Original4338 font readiness passes in this run. No navigation cause\nor data-loss finding is established. The [frozen final audit](evidence/font-readiness-acceptance-20260921/app54/final-a4eb-ci/release-audit.json)\nretains exact source/artifact bindings and the original failed trace; that failure remains preserved.\nThe Python artifact workflow is not applicable under its full-PR path filters,\nnot a fresh pass. Exact-head preview is READY metadata only; an\nunauthenticated request redirects to sign-in, with no preview-browser acceptance.\nAt that a4eb capture App54 was unmerged and production remained App53\n`e40c287`. The separate suggestion-details candidate remains unreleased and supplies\nno acceptance here. No local/browser pass broadens native compatibility.\nThe [bounded navigation diagnosis](evidence/font-readiness-acceptance-20260921/README.md#author-navigation-diagnosis-and-prospective-policy)\nrecords Loading Author and a delayed successful script response: 1490 bytes inferred\nfrom ETag, 766 compressed bytes recorded, actual body absent. Later DOM does not\naccept unreached assertions or identify a cause. App54 accepted merge\n`8f54228a9e38a1dcc0bf8188bcdd519795b3799a` retains reviewed 79ba tree\n`3639d3c14daec94d13711fa2b10f2b927df45eca`, preregisters `waitForURL(load)` before\nthe real action, matching `page.goto` within the unchanged 45-second test and default\nfive-second content budgets. It retains all oracles but deliberately removes the\nincidental five-second navigation deadline. Fresh local **39/39**, zero retries,\npasses in 112.780048s with reviewed source/images and prepared-tree build/typecheck.\nThe immutable app bundle\nretains original failures. Units/standalone controls were not repeated locally;\nfresh first-attempt application **35659187971 passes 704 units, 13 standalone\ncontrols and 39/39 browsers on both Linux and Windows**. Exact-head preview was\nREADY/protected, not browser accepted. The identical reviewed tree is merged/live\nat 8f on READY deployment `dpl_H1FtXx1QSuGxn3MwzJwWJpGtRg8b`, but full canonical\nacceptance **fails (34/39 passed)** at five no-POST assertions observing Clerk environment\nPOSTs. The [safe audit](evidence/font-readiness-acceptance-20260921/app54/canonical8f/write-audit/REPORT.md.txt)\nrecords ten such requests, nine with HTTP200/zero-length bodies and one incomplete.\nNo fixture-content needle was detected in captured fields; uncaptured data remains\nunknown. Three final action page-error assertions were not reached; the two share\ncases passed theirs. The prior auth/config comparison is 28/29 identical, with only\npackage scripts changed. Production is kept without a rollback, test change or\nrerun; the strict gate remains failed. Raw authentication-bearing diagnostics\nremain private. Postmerge CI 35660464578\nfinishes failed: Linux 39/39 passes while Windows 38/39 fails, with 704 units/13 controls/typecheck/build\npassing on each. Windows fails initial gallery-rail title visibility after 5,000ms\nwith correct source, clean schema and Loading slide fonts; later editing/export/\nreimport checks were not reached. The [final audit](evidence/font-readiness-acceptance-20260921/app54/merged8f/postmerge-ci/REPORT.md.txt)\npreserves this separate failed gate without cause inference or a retry. No canonical\npass or general native/font acceptance is claimed. That September 21 checkpoint was paused; the user resumed work on September 29. See the [current source checkpoint](handoff-runtime-2026-09-29.md) for ongoing repairs and release holds.\n\nSeparate local negative controls confirmed that preset Undo all discarded New run\nand imported replacement documents. The guarded correction is now preserved in\ndraft app #58: independent\nreview and local Node 24 checks passed (716 units, 13 standalone controls and\n49 browsers without retries). Original Linux/Windows CI could not start because\nof the account payment/spending-limit restriction; no application CI or production\nacceptance is claimed. Unbusy asynchronous account replacements still need a\nsynchronous invalidation guard and held-response control.\nOther local source writers still require their separate preservation checks. These unresolved local findings and raw imported-file/account/agent/metadata boundaries remain outside\nApp53 and App54. See the [App53 ledger](evidence/author-source-acceptance-20260921/README.md)\nand its immutable application evidence links. Issue88 remains OPEN. Native/font\ncompatibility, required repair and release gates remain separate; geometry is\ndeferred as the coordinated set below. The unimplemented worker candidate remains in the [handoff](handoff-2026-09-21.md).\n\nThe five coordinated geometry drafts (core94, renderer27, editor25, PPTX42,\nsite40) remain unmerged.

Tab tolerance, general mixed-size table layout and preview/native wrapping, physical glyph identity/fallback/synthesis, embedding and general layout/reflow fidelity remain open; self-import and tagged furniture do not certify arbitrary Office behavior |\n| Public-surface acceptance checklist | [opf#88](https://github.com/OpenPresentation/opf/issues/88) | Shipping features does not establish every acceptance item; use the checklist and deployment receipts |\n| HarfBuzz / prepared-glyph shaping | Archive branches `codex/archive-shaping-20260915` | Prototypes are preserved, not in npm |\n| Selectable vector PDF | [pdf plan](plans/pdf-export.md) | Shipped in opf-render 0.12.0 (opf-render#90; the browser download entry `@openpresentation/opf-render/export-browser` ships there too); PDF/UA, PDF/A and viewer coverage beyond pdf.js, PDFium and poppler remain open |\n| General SVG diagrams / Mermaid | [diagrams plan](plans/diagrams-svg.md) | Embedded SVG \u2260 native editable primitives |\n| Full visual editor / IME / bidi / repair loop | [developer adoption](plans/developer-adoption-20260915.md) | Schema support \u2260 WYSIWYG coverage |\n\nCLI 0.9.2 and earlier do not render or export PPTX; CLI 0.10.0 adds `opf render`, `opf export` and `opf import`\nthrough the optional peers opf-render and opf-pptx ([CLI reference](cli.md)). The Node `svgToPng` / `svgToPdf`\nAPIs stay Node-only; renderer 0.12.0 adds the separate `@openpresentation/opf-render/export-browser` entry for browsers.\n`@openpresentation/opf/node` is Node-only too: it reads files, font files and the engines' native packages. The core root and\nevery other core entry stay browser-safe. In a browser, use the engines' browser entries.\n\n## Predecessor notes\n\n| Older set | Relationship |\n| --- | --- |\n| core 0.15.1, CLI 0.15.0, renderer 0.15.0, PPTX 0.15.0, editor 0.15.0 | Previous coordinated set (OPF 0.15, format audit wave C; CLI 0.15.0 bundles core 0.15.1). The 0.16 set is additive for documents; the renderer's converters and font packages became optional peers (RR-63), so a 0.16 host installs the ones it uses, and the CLI depends on core instead of bundling it (RR-62). |\n| core 0.14.0, CLI 0.11.0, renderer 0.14.0, PPTX 0.14.0, editor 0.14.2 | Previous coordinated set (format audit waves A and B, RR-55 and RR-56; CLI 0.11.0 bundles core 0.13.0). The 0.15 set is breaking: a 0.14 document's catalog shape (`catalogs.<kind>.records`), catalog-id languages and `design.slideImage` are invalid in 0.15, and the 0.15 engines need the host to register the default catalog. |\n| core 0.13.0, CLI 0.11.0, renderer 0.13.1, PPTX 0.13.2, editor 0.12.1 | Previous coordinated set (chart and table data, RR-54). |\n| core 0.12.2, CLI 0.10.1, renderer 0.12.2, PPTX 0.12.4, editor 0.11.3 | Previous coordinated set (the first set whose `engines.node` is the open-ended `>=22`). The 0.13 set adds chart and table data (RR-54, [contract](chart-table-data.md)): strict chart numbers (a value is a finite number or a strict decimal string; `\"12%\"`, `\"$5\"` and `\"Q1\"` are a gap with a `chart-value-not-numeric` warning, never a guessed number), number formats (`DataColumn` `{ name, format }`), top-level `datasets` with `{ \"dataset\", \"fields\" }` references and `chart.mapping`, in core 0.13.0, previewed by renderer 0.13.0, exported and re-imported by PPTX 0.13.0 (`OPF_DATASETS_V1` and `OPF_DATA_V1` provenance), edited in the editor 0.12.x data grid and imported by CLI 0.11.0 (`opf import-data --dataset`). PPTX 0.13.0 also vendors pptxgenjs-plus 4.3.4 (was PptxGenJS 4.0.1) and PPTX 0.13.1 bundles for browsers again. Renderer 0.13.1 and PPTX 0.13.2 pin Sharp 0.35.5 (GHSA-wq5f-xc86-pv6w; output unchanged); editor 0.12.1 replaces 0.12.0, which was never published. Renderer, PPTX and editor raise their core floor to `^0.13.0` and the renderer peer to `^0.13.1` together. |\n| core 0.12.1, CLI 0.10.0, renderer 0.12.0, PPTX 0.12.2, editor 0.11.2 | Previous coordinated set. PPTX 0.12.3 corrects the table range of a chart's embedded workbook (apostrophe-quoted sheet references and bubble-series references), which made Keynote drop category charts on import (opf-pptx#162, opf-pptx#163; every other part of the package is byte-identical). Core, renderer and editor are unchanged and keep the core floor `^0.12.0` and the renderer peer `^0.12.0`. |\n| core 0.12.0, CLI 0.10.0, renderer 0.12.0, PPTX 0.12.2, editor 0.11.2 | Previous coordinated set. Core 0.12.1 deprecates the six plural audience ids (`executives`, `investors`, `customers`, `sales-team`, `marketing-team`, `regulators`) in favour of the singular ids: additive catalog data, validation warns and never errors, and no geometry moves, so renderer, PPTX and editor keep the core floor `^0.12.0`. |\n| core 0.12.0, CLI 0.10.0, renderer 0.12.0, PPTX 0.12.1, editor 0.11.1 | Previous coordinated set (PowerPoint lists only the deck's fonts). PPTX 0.12.2 also names the deck's font in the theme's `Viet` (Vietnamese) and `Uigh` (Uyghur) per-language script entries, which PowerPoint applies to `vi-VN` and `ug` runs and which kept Office's Times New Roman and Arial for those two languages (RR-17; every other language is byte-identical). Editor 0.11.2 adds the `slide-sizes` and `purposes` switch dimensions, `SLIDE_SIZE_PRESETS` and the Slide size and Purpose selects in the Design panel (RR-41, additive API). Both keep the core floor `^0.12.0` and the renderer peer `^0.12.0`. |\n| core 0.12.0, CLI 0.10.0, renderer 0.12.0, PPTX 0.12.0, editor 0.11.0 | Previous coordinated set (the 0.12.0 train). PPTX 0.12.1 writes the deck's fonts so that PowerPoint's font list shows only the fonts the deck uses (FF-05: schema-order `presentation.xml`, an own notes theme, no east-asian or complex-script font on runs, and a theme east-asian slot that is never empty); editor 0.11.1 stops the restore prompt showing a literal `null`. Both keep the core floor `^0.12.0` and the renderer peer `^0.12.0`. |\n| core 0.11.4, CLI 0.9.2, renderer 0.11.9, PPTX 0.11.9, editor 0.10.6 | Previous coordinated set (native header/footer placeholders, SVG pictures, `fromPptx` import signals; the published 0.11.4 train measured in the font-fidelity program). Core 0.12.0 moves geometry (composed font sizes on PowerPoint's 0.01 pt grid, hanging wrap whitespace, promoted regions in reading order, right-to-left decks composed mirrored), so renderer 0.12.0, PPTX 0.12.0 and editor 0.11.0 raise their core floor to `^0.12.0` and the renderer peer of PPTX and editor to `^0.12.0` together; the set adds templates and variables, numbered lists, footnotes, citations and captions and chart options (additive schema), vector PDF with selectable text and the browser export entry, the `<opf-deck>` player, the editor's slide management, autosave, data grid, find and replace, image crop, Review panel and fill UI, and the shared JSON Patch module. CLI 0.10.0 bundles core 0.12.0 and adds `opf audit`, `from-md`, `to-md`, `diff`, `merge`, `format`, `render`, `export` and `import`. |\n| core 0.11.4, CLI 0.9.2, renderer 0.11.9, PPTX 0.11.8, editor 0.10.6 | Previous coordinated set (PPTX 0.11.8 re-imports wrapped rich text as one authored payload; CLI 0.9.2 bundles core 0.11.4). PPTX 0.11.9 writes a deck footer's first text, date and slide number as native PowerPoint Header & Footer placeholders (every export also carries the footer placeholders on its master, layout and notes master, so Insert > Header & Footer works), exports an SVG image as a native SVG picture over a PNG fallback (rasterized in Node by the optional opf-render peer or `options.svgRasterizer`) and adds the opt-in `fromPptx(bytes, {signals: true})` import signals; core floor `^0.11.4` unchanged. |\n| core 0.11.4, CLI 0.9.1, renderer 0.11.9, PPTX 0.11.7, editor 0.10.6 | Previous coordinated set (the design fields compose and export natively). PPTX 0.11.8 re-imports rich text that wraps over several native lines as one authored payload (the export records the line count; decks exported by 0.11.7 import as before) and keeps the core floor `^0.11.4`; CLI 0.9.2 bundles core 0.11.4 (CLI 0.9.1 bundled core 0.11.3) and still requires Node 24. |\n| core 0.11.3, CLI 0.9.1, renderer 0.11.8, PPTX 0.11.6, editor 0.10.5 | Previous coordinated set (the native chartex export by default). Core 0.11.4 composes the design fields (logos on covers and section slides, `contentDirection`, `chartPrimary`, picture bullets, header and footer logos, the accent font), aligns a cover's tag and subtitle with its title, and sizes picture bullets and furniture images as PowerPoint does, so renderer, PPTX and editor raise their core floor to `^0.11.4` together; renderer 0.11.9 draws those fields and applies the tag contrast rule (FF-61: the tag draws in the text colour when the scheme primary is under 4.5:1); PPTX 0.11.7 exports them natively, writes every chart's text at the preview's size (FF-62: 12 pt, not 9 pt), writes slide sections as PowerPoint's section list and restores the authored form of a fresh export on import (a root payload returns as `slides.N.text`, `.items`, `.chart` ... rather than one typed block); editor 0.10.6 is a floor bump. CLI 0.9.1 still bundles core 0.11.3. |\n| core 0.11.3, CLI 0.9.1, renderer 0.11.8, PPTX 0.11.5, editor 0.10.5 | Previous coordinated set (the slide tag draws in the scheme primary colour and PPTX writes it as `a:schemeClr accent1`; the playground loads its base faces through `extraLazyFonts`). PPTX 0.11.6 exports the treemap, histogram, pareto, box-and-whisker, waterfall and funnel charts as native chartex parts by default (`toPptx({chartex: 'auto'})`, confirmed in desktop PowerPoint; `world` stays a clustered column with `chart-data-adapted` because PowerPoint's map needs online geodata; pass `chartex: 'fallback'` for the previous output) and gives chartex text the deck's label colour and font. |\n| core 0.11.3, CLI 0.9.1, renderer 0.11.6, PPTX 0.11.4, editor 0.10.4 | Previous coordinated set (the 100-layout catalog and its geometry, category-axis label rotation, quote and slide image re-import). Renderer 0.11.7 adds the `extraLazyFonts` registry option and `splitStartupFaces` (a browser host can start with Roboto Regular alone and load its other base faces on demand); renderer 0.11.8 draws the slide tag in the scheme primary colour; PPTX 0.11.5 writes the tag run as `a:schemeClr accent1` where the deck theme holds the primary (the colour is unchanged); editor 0.10.5 loads its playground base faces through `extraLazyFonts`. |\n| core 0.11.2, CLI 0.9.0, renderer 0.11.5, PPTX 0.11.3, editor 0.10.3 | Previous coordinated set (native classic and chartex chart previews, opt-in chartex export, face-level lazy fonts and the font gate's render options). Core 0.11.3 adds the pinned pptx.gallery default catalog and the 70 legacy gallery layout ids (layouts 30 to 100; 25 carry a `composition` or `contentBox` contract, which moves geometry, so renderer, PPTX and editor raise their core floor to `^0.11.3` together); renderer 0.11.6 rotates and skips dense category-axis labels; PPTX 0.11.4 re-imports quote and slide image payloads and writes theme `a:ea`/`a:cs` only where a script font is selected; editor 0.10.4 is a floor bump; CLI 0.9.1 bundles core 0.11.3. |\n| core 0.11.2, CLI 0.9.0, renderer 0.11.1, PPTX 0.11.0, editor 0.10.0 | Previous coordinated set (lockstep floors, Intos and the open families, selected-name export). Renderer 0.11.2 adds script-face loading (`scripts: 'auto'`); PPTX 0.11.1 adds `design.watermark` export; editor 0.10.2 loads the fonts a document needs before every render (FF-41). Renderer 0.11.3 previews every kept classic chart type natively; PPTX 0.11.2 exports the native construct for each kept classic chart type (with `chart-data-adapted` diagnostics where data is adapted) and writes theme colour references for table and text colours. Renderer 0.11.4 previews the seven chartex chart types natively (the world map as a non-geographic tile grid), keeps the Latin Noto Sans replacement for script schemes under `scripts: 'auto'`, shapes Noto Sans Mongolian, and bundles Raleway and Playfair Display (94 lazy faces); PPTX 0.11.3 adds the opt-in `toPptx({chartex: 'native'})` export of the chartex chart types (the default output is unchanged) and always imports chartex charts. |\n| core 0.11.0, CLI 0.9.0, renderer 0.9.0, PPTX 0.9.1, editor 0.8.0 | Previous coordinated Node 24 set (ColorRef, shared furniture). Renderer and PPTX had different core floors from 0.10.x. |\n| core 0.10.0, renderer/PPTX/CLI 0.8.0, editor 0.7.0 | Previous coordinated Node 24 baseline. Lint and furniture landed across 0.10.0/0.8.0 then layout-placeholder fixes in 0.10.1/0.8.1/0.7.1. |\n| Node 20 | Not valid for these packages |\n| Node 22 / 26 | Declared by the current set (`engines.node` `>=22`) and tested, but Node 24 is the toolchain the evidence runs on. Releases up to core 0.12.1, CLI 0.10.0, renderer 0.12.0, PPTX 0.12.3 and editor 0.11.2 declared `24.x`, so npm on Node 22 or 26 silently picked an older release |\n\nDo not install sibling `../opf-render` dist folders when following the\nquickstart.

It is a breaking release:\n- **Furniture variables (FA-31):** header and footer text uses the `{{slide.number}}`, `{{slide.section}}` and\n  `{{deck.slideCount}}` variables, and the `HeaderFooterItem` flags are removed.\n- **`@openpresentation/opf/node` (RR-62):** `convert`, `open` and `save` work from files and bytes. `parse` and\n  `stringify` replace `readDeck` and `writeDeck`. `opf convert` is new, and `@openpresentation/cli/api` is removed.\n- **Fixes and additions:**\n  - deterministic data import;\n  - `validate` and `paginate` that plan script faces (RR-59);\n  - the Arabic and Latin preview fixes;\n  - `renderSvg(deck, { textAsPaths: true })` (RR-64 phase 1);\n  - the Windows CLI path fixes (RR-66).\n\nSee the 0.17.0 entries of the [changelog](../CHANGELOG.md) and the 0.17.1 entry of the\n[CLI changelog](../packages/cli/CHANGELOG.md).\n\nRenderer 0.17.1 is a patch on the 0.17 line: SVG never embeds a face whose OS/2 `fsType` forbids it (RR-76), embedded faces are cut to the glyphs a slide draws (RR-65, mean example slide 2.4 MB to 59 KB), and `textAsPaths` shapes with HarfBuzz and keeps an invisible text layer (RR-64 phases 2 and 3).\n\nThe CLI starts at **0.17.1**. `cli-v0.17.0` was tagged, but its publish run failed before `npm publish`, because the\nrelease commit carried a stale generated gallery tracker. So 0.17.1 is the first published 0.17 CLI.\n\nThe 0.16 set (core, CLI, renderer and editor 0.16.0, PPTX 0.16.1) was the lockstep minor after 0.15 (owner decision 2026-10-08: no 0.15.x patch train). It adds nested\nplaceholder groups in layout records (FA-26), `Table.alt` (FA-27), the `opf/language-tag` warning (FA-29), Markdown\ndecks (`.opf.md`) in every command with core `readDeck`/`writeDeck` (RR-60), SVGs that embed only the faces they draw\n(RR-61), the CLI's programmatic `@openpresentation/cli/api` (RR-62), a lighter renderer install with optional\nconverters and fonts and the `/png`, `/pdf` and `/html` subpaths (RR-63), and the developer-contract fixes (RR-59).\n0.15 documents are 0.16 documents. See the 0.16.0 entries of the [changelog](../CHANGELOG.md) and the\n[CLI changelog](../packages/cli/CHANGELOG.md).\n\nThe 0.15 set (core 0.15.1, CLI 0.15.0, renderer, PPTX and editor 0.15.0) was the breaking spec line (format audit wave C): catalogs group the records a document embeds by the catalog they\ncame from (`catalogs.default`, `catalogs.custom`, named groups, `name:id` references), core ships no built-in records\n(the default catalog is the opt-in `@openpresentation/opf/catalog`, which a host registers with `{ catalogs }`), a\nfull-bleed photo is `design.background` and every content picture is an image block, and `language` is a BCP-47 tag.\nSee the 0.15.0 and 0.15.1 entries of the [changelog](../CHANGELOG.md).\nCore 0.15 started at **0.15.1**: `opf-v0.15.0` was tagged, but its publish run failed before `npm publish` (the CLI tests\nthrough the published renderer and PPTX ran in the core publish workflow before those 0.15 siblings existed), so 0.15.1\nwas the first published 0.15 core and the floor of every 0.15 sibling.\n\nOPF 0.15 is a breaking spec line (format audit wave C): catalogs group the records a document embeds by the catalog they\ncame from (`catalogs.default`, `catalogs.custom`, named groups, `name:id` references), core ships no built-in records\n(the default catalog is the opt-in `@openpresentation/opf/catalog`, which a host registers with `{ catalogs }`), a\nfull-bleed photo is `design.background` and every content picture is an image block, and `language` is a BCP-47 tag.\nThe 0.15 set reads and writes only 0.15 documents; see the 0.15.0 and 0.15.1 entries of the [changelog](../CHANGELOG.md).\nCore starts at **0.15.1**: `opf-v0.15.0` was tagged, but its publish run failed before `npm publish` (the CLI tests\nthrough the published renderer and PPTX ran in the core publish workflow before those 0.15 siblings existed), so 0.15.1\nis the first published 0.15 core and the floor of every 0.15 sibling.\n\nFrom CLI 0.16.0 the CLI depends on core (`@openpresentation/opf`, a regular dependency, not a bundled copy). CLI 0.16.0\nexposed `@openpresentation/cli/api`, and 0.17 removes it in favour of core's `@openpresentation/opf/node`. The renderer\nand PPTX stay optional peers. CLI 0.15.0 and earlier bundled their core.\n\nInstall the complete pinned set. A caret range starting at 0.10.1 does not\ninclude 0.11.x; old consumers can install a second core and do not establish\nColorRef preview/export support. The renderer, PPTX and editor floors move with\ncore in lockstep (core 0.17.0 with renderer, PPTX and editor 0.17.0), so\npreview and export resolve one composition.\n\nShared header/footer geometry (`furniture-flow-v2`) is published. PPTX exports\neditable slide shapes tagged `OPF_FURNITURE_V1` with provenance for controlled\nreimport. Published PPTX through 0.11.8 draws every part that way, not as native\nOffice Header/Footer objects. PPTX 0.11.9 and later (RR-11) write the footer's\nfirst text, date and slide number as native `ftr`, `dt` and `sldNum` placeholders\n(with master/layout placeholders, `p:hf` flags and a notes-master flag) at the same\ngeometry and reads them back with or without provenance; the rest stays tagged\nshapes. Native PowerPoint acceptance remains [issue 87](https://github.com/OpenPresentation/opf/issues/87).\nPPTX 0.18 (RR-72) writes a tagged part that is the same on two or more slides once,\non the slide master or a shared layout (one per background tone for `onLight`/`onDark`\nlogos; a hidden footer uses a layout that hides the master's), and reads it back from\nthere ([rr-72-master-furniture.md](programs/release-readiness/rr-72-master-furniture.md)).\n\nThe [Windows native-picture checkpoint](evidence/windows-native-picture-20260921/README.md)\nand accepted [native B/C bundle](evidence/windows-native-edits-20260921/README.md)\nrecord finite picture/furniture edits, current-content provenance reimport and\nsafe fallback, production notes packaging and two controlled reordered-file\nrefusals. Core105 publishes that evidence; PPTX47 adds the tested harness, with\nno new package version. UI image replacement changes geometry, longer header\ntext clips, and duplicated tagged headers overlap. Refused workers retain their\nfailed cleanup state separately from later empty-workspace observations.\nThis is not general native layout/reflow fidelity.\n\nAccepted core106's [tab and font checkpoint](evidence/windows-native-tabs-fonts-20260921/README.md)\nrecords plain native tab target error **0.022655487060546875pt** and tab/literal\ndifference **0.022678375244140625pt**, both above the unchanged **0.02pt** gate.\nIts bounded four-face Carlito edit/save/reopen control passes exact text/style\npersistence, zero observed bounds drift, matching rasters and owned font cleanup.\nMixed-size table fidelity, physical glyph-font identity, fallback/synthesis and actual embedding remain\nopen; embedding was disabled for this control. The Windows supervisor retains sole\nOffice control. This documentation task reads evidence and makes no Office calls.\n\nThe later [read-only font inventory](evidence/windows-native-font-inventory-20260921/README.md)\nretains the four Carlito text styles but reports both Carlito and unexpected\nAptos in `Presentation.Fonts`. The native font allowlist fails, and no embedding\nwas attempted. The original parent report incorrectly fails cleanup because of\na Windows PowerShell 5.1 JSON-array parsing defect; raw stages and registration\nrows establish one owned close and four removals in a separately labeled offline\naudit. The raw failure remains intact. Collection names and flags do not identify\nthe physical font used for each glyph.\n\nThe [read-only mixed-table observation](evidence/windows-native-mixed-table-20260921/README.md)\nretains all 245 characters, one literal tab and five authored runs, with outer\ngeometry within 0.02pt and confirmed owned close/font cleanup. Native soft-line\nboundaries are 92/194 versus the estimated preview's 78/172, and native default\ntab spacing is 72pt. These finite content/style results do not pass table\nedit/save/reopen, browser/native raster agreement or physical glyph identity.\nThe accepted [nine-pair offline tab analysis](evidence/windows-native-tab-analysis-20260921/REPORT.md)\nfinds a 0.05pt-compatible pattern in the observed character starts, with finer saved\ntab coordinates. These inputs do not distinguish relative versus absolute placement\nor establish an internal engine cause. The 0.02pt native tab gate remains failed;\nthe separate 0.1px renderer gate is unchanged.

The\n[core102 receipts](evidence/inspector-share-acceptance-20260921/README.md#accepted-core102)\npin this documentation checkpoint without changing the site's older accepted\ndocumentation snapshot. The site's complete guides and raw resources match\nthe reviewed source; binary evidence remains linked and downloadable without\nbeing decoded into the AI-facing guide.\nCore104 `3d301f1` preserves exact postmerge OPF success and coordinated cancellation;\nit is not a complete green postmerge gate. Accepted descendant core105\n`84e914710520a7b0e777fce30e5758ee64a64924` preserves all 60 core104 evidence blobs\nand passes both exact-head workflows on their first attempts.

Accepted commit `0f35352a1445f56ad4bb7c9f4c5609e01f2dd9ae`\nhas reviewed tree `203bdab509d05911f04f234d996f9c91f2b5e4f2`, green Linux/Windows\npre/post-merge CI and its exact READY canonical deployment. The historical App47 **23/24** production run passes all five new completion cases but still fails the existing\nLF Author third-popup assertion. This does not establish complete public-surface\nacceptance; the [historical App47 report](evidence/completion-acceptance-20260921/canonical/REPORT.md)\nand [earlier failed app45/app46 results](evidence/issue88-final-20260921/README.md)\nretain their evidence and unresolved causes.\n\nThe [source audit](evidence/completion-acceptance-20260921/source-preservation-audit/REPORT.md)\nidentified Author canvas/Copy/export and Inspector JSON-download normalization.\nMerged App53 at\n`e40c287b64fcbcfb85fb4a8a50641aea8e3e54a8` has the identical reviewed b33dc18\ntree and preserves those bounded raw-source\npaths and corrects order-only reimport history. A public Suggest-action guard\naddresses the observed stale Quick Input context competing with focused-editor\nCtrl+Space. Current local checks pass **627 unit tests and 29/29 browser cases\nin 88.78 seconds**, zero retries. First-attempt Linux/Windows application CI\npassed 627 unit tests and 29 browser cases per platform; artifact CI also passed.\nThe [exact READY canonical run](evidence/author-source-acceptance-20260921/canonical/REPORT.md) passes **29/29**, zero retries, with matching deployment receipts before and after. Postmerge application CI fails Linux **28/29** while Windows passes **29/29**; both pass 627 unit tests and separate artifact CI passes. The [Linux failure](evidence/author-source-acceptance-20260921/app53/postmerge-ci/README.md) stops before security assertions because five default-deck canvases remain after the shared-load toast. No rerun or canonical pass replaces that failed gate. The retained draft preview was READY but not browser-accepted.\n\nThe earlier **24/27** import-undo regression, **26/27** local popup failure and\nold-head Windows **26/27** shared-load failure remain historical evidence.\nThe fresh successful Windows job retained its sanitized timing artifact, but\nonly Author timings survived; the Inspector pagehide snapshot is missing. This\ndoes not explain or fix the old readiness delay. Phase4\ncaptured no post-fix stale-context overlap, so causal stress is inconclusive.\nThe existing suggestion-details pane remains clipped; visibility is not legibility.\nThe [postmerge trace diagnosis](evidence/author-source-acceptance-20260921/inspector-share-diagnosis/REPORT.md)\nproves wrong-document automatic share-hash publication during import.\nApp54 first corrected automatic\npublication at `60c91f6`: authoritative source/format is checked before and after\nencoding, load/navigation guards remain, and obsolete `import=hash:` is removed.\nURL transfer preserves semantics, not raw spelling. Local 659-unit/31-browser\nacceptance does not replace original first-attempt CI **35638158483**, which\npassed Linux **31/31** but failed Windows **30/31** at the unchanged 45-second\nAuthor readiness deadline. Both publication cases passed. The [frozen diagnosis](evidence/inspector-share-acceptance-20260921/app54/windows-timeout/REPORT.md)\nretains bounded slow-delivery observations with unknown cause. Late assertions\nare not an in-budget pass. Browser History tests permit prior accepted content\nuntil first new publication; held-promise controls establish the narrower race guard.\n\nThe product correction was added at `57e5e59fddbc94346f142dc12d86a916228bf2ae`, tree\n`d9c3aab543c6a886a85c6ec07dd55e5ab22590cd`. It guards current snapshots for\nexplicit Copy/JSON/Share/PPTX/PDF/Author/Deckchat actions. Pending public canvas\ndrafts commit before capture, pointer-blur rejection survives session recovery,\nand newer source/load/navigation/unmount/action invalidates late results. Raw\nCopy and accepted same-format JSON bytes are preserved; handoffs remain semantic.\nAlready-started clipboard/download effects cannot be retroactively canceled.\nThe integrated portable standalone startup verifies packaged runtime assets,\nfonts and traced schema inputs without changing dependencies or published pins.\n\nLocal runtime checks pass **692 unit tests**, **7 standalone controls**, focused\n**8/8** and full **39/39** browser cases, zero retries, with visual review. The\nimmutable 93-file app bundle\nretains stale-draft negative evidence and the initial candidate **7/8** result.\nThe latter did not establish accepted pasted source before releasing mocked PDF 401;\nfinal visible-code preconditions change no product bytes or budgets. PDF/Deckchat\nare locally mocked. CRLF ingress normalized 279 to 274 LF bytes; subsequent exact\nactions preserve the accepted buffer, not that ingress boundary.\n\n**The original 57e packaging gate failed.** First-attempt CI **35645493900** failed Linux and\nWindows typecheck on archived `.spec.ts` evidence copies after each platform\npassed 692 units and 7 standalone controls. The exact-head preview failed with\n`module_not_found`; precise Vercel compiler logs were unavailable. [The first-attempt receipt](evidence/inspector-current-actions-20260921/app54/first57-ci/REPORT.md)\nrecords skipped build/browser steps and no uploaded artifacts. The passing runtime build\npredates those copies. A byte-identical `.ts.txt` archive correction produced captured App54 head\n`6dfc2584698c1306505929a2bc3e427996d66563`, tree\n`f3279495f7685945b7541c90d24f7239407639a0`. Its final-tree local typecheck passes\nwith all 305 product/test inputs unchanged. [The corrected receipt](evidence/inspector-current-actions-20260921/app54/corrected6df/commit-receipt.json)\nbinds its 106-file evidence bundle. [Exact-head CI 35646213757](evidence/inspector-current-actions-20260921/app54/corrected6df/ci/REPORT.md)\npasses 692 units, seven standalone controls, typechecks and build on both platforms;\nLinux passes **39/39** browsers. Windows executes **zero browser tests** because\nstandalone startup fails with `EPERM` while statting its packaged React dependency\nlink. No timing or test-result artifacts were uploaded. The exact-head preview\nis READY, which is metadata only; at that 6df checkpoint App54 was unmerged and undeployed to production.\nThe [current ledger](evidence/inspector-current-actions-20260921/README.md)\nretains the separate 60c readiness, 57e packaging and 6df startup failures. Production then remained App53 `e40c287`, with its original\nfailed Linux postmerge gate preserved separately from canonical **29/29**.\nThe startup-link correction at 4338e57\nthen reached all browser cases: Linux **39/39**, Windows **38/39** in first-attempt\nCI **35649707689**, with 692 units and 13 standalone controls passing per platform.\nThe sole Windows failure was initial canvas-title visibility at five seconds,\nbefore any edit/recovery operation; correct incoming source remained at loading\nfonts. Late font acquisition and eleven incomplete responses at teardown do not\nestablish a permanent stall or a dominant cause. The [failed gate](evidence/font-readiness-acceptance-20260921/README.md#preserved-failed-windows-gate)\nis preserved.\n\nApp54 font-preparation revision `a4eb88ab7aa585c9efb91de4c190c1f1c0c7d0eb`, tree\n`031d893855a540fd2a4d2ec2162605817b8dde16`, overlaps font acquisition with converter\nwarmup while readiness still waits for both. The offline converter barrier and all\n**33 faces / 9,317,044 bytes**, manifest, substitution/measurement policy and\n`document.fonts.ready` gate remain unchanged. Fresh local Node24.21.0 checks pass\n**704 units, 13 standalone controls and 39/39 browsers**, zero retries, including\nunchanged offline export/reimport. Immutable app evidence\nretains reviewed images, exact source/output bindings and the original failed run.\n\n**The original a4eb gate failed:** first-attempt application **35654753237** passes\nLinux **39/39** but fails Windows **38/39**; both pass 704 units, 13 standalone\ncontrols, typecheck and build. The Open in Author URL assertion exceeds its existing\nfive-second deadline at `inspector-actions.spec.ts:176`; later source checks are\nnot reached. Original4338 font readiness passes in this run. No navigation cause\nor data-loss finding is established. The [frozen final audit](evidence/font-readiness-acceptance-20260921/app54/final-a4eb-ci/release-audit.json)\nretains exact source/artifact bindings and the original failed trace; that failure remains preserved.\nThe Python artifact workflow is not applicable under its full-PR path filters,\nnot a fresh pass. Exact-head preview is READY metadata only; an\nunauthenticated request redirects to sign-in, with no preview-browser acceptance.\nAt that a4eb capture App54 was unmerged and production remained App53\n`e40c287`. The separate suggestion-details candidate remains unreleased and supplies\nno acceptance here. No local/browser pass broadens native compatibility.\nThe [bounded navigation diagnosis](evidence/font-readiness-acceptance-20260921/README.md#author-navigation-diagnosis-and-prospective-policy)\nrecords Loading Author and a delayed successful script response: 1490 bytes inferred\nfrom ETag, 766 compressed bytes recorded, actual body absent. Later DOM does not\naccept unreached assertions or identify a cause. App54 accepted merge\n`8f54228a9e38a1dcc0bf8188bcdd519795b3799a` retains reviewed 79ba tree\n`3639d3c14daec94d13711fa2b10f2b927df45eca`, preregisters `waitForURL(load)` before\nthe real action, matching `page.goto` within the unchanged 45-second test and default\nfive-second content budgets. It retains all oracles but deliberately removes the\nincidental five-second navigation deadline. Fresh local **39/39**, zero retries,\npasses in 112.780048s with reviewed source/images and prepared-tree build/typecheck.\nThe immutable app bundle\nretains original failures. Units/standalone controls were not repeated locally;\nfresh first-attempt application **35659187971 passes 704 units, 13 standalone\ncontrols and 39/39 browsers on both Linux and Windows**. Exact-head preview was\nREADY/protected, not browser accepted. The identical reviewed tree is merged/live\nat 8f on READY deployment `dpl_H1FtXx1QSuGxn3MwzJwWJpGtRg8b`, but full canonical\nacceptance **fails (34/39 passed)** at five no-POST assertions observing Clerk environment\nPOSTs. The [safe audit](evidence/font-readiness-acceptance-20260921/app54/canonical8f/write-audit/REPORT.md.txt)\nrecords ten such requests, nine with HTTP200/zero-length bodies and one incomplete.\nNo fixture-content needle was detected in captured fields; uncaptured data remains\nunknown. Three final action page-error assertions were not reached; the two share\ncases passed theirs. The prior auth/config comparison is 28/29 identical, with only\npackage scripts changed. Production is kept without a rollback, test change or\nrerun; the strict gate remains failed. Raw authentication-bearing diagnostics\nremain private. Postmerge CI 35660464578\nfinishes failed: Linux 39/39 passes while Windows 38/39 fails, with 704 units/13 controls/typecheck/build\npassing on each. Windows fails initial gallery-rail title visibility after 5,000ms\nwith correct source, clean schema and Loading slide fonts; later editing/export/\nreimport checks were not reached. The [final audit](evidence/font-readiness-acceptance-20260921/app54/merged8f/postmerge-ci/REPORT.md.txt)\npreserves this separate failed gate without cause inference or a retry. No canonical\npass or general native/font acceptance is claimed. That September 21 checkpoint was paused; the user resumed work on September 29. See the [current source checkpoint](handoff-runtime-2026-09-29.md) for ongoing repairs and release holds.\n\nSeparate local negative controls confirmed that preset Undo all discarded New run\nand imported replacement documents. The guarded correction is now preserved in\ndraft app #58: independent\nreview and local Node 24 checks passed (716 units, 13 standalone controls and\n49 browsers without retries). Original Linux/Windows CI could not start because\nof the account payment/spending-limit restriction; no application CI or production\nacceptance is claimed. Unbusy asynchronous account replacements still need a\nsynchronous invalidation guard and held-response control.\nOther local source writers still require their separate preservation checks. These unresolved local findings and raw imported-file/account/agent/metadata boundaries remain outside\nApp53 and App54. See the [App53 ledger](evidence/author-source-acceptance-20260921/README.md)\nand its immutable application evidence links. Issue88 remains OPEN. Native/font\ncompatibility, required repair and release gates remain separate; geometry is\ndeferred as the coordinated set below. The unimplemented worker candidate remains in the [handoff](handoff-2026-09-21.md).\n\nThe five coordinated geometry drafts (core94, renderer27, editor25, PPTX42,\nsite40) remain unmerged. In particular, site40 is not independently shipped.\n\n## Explicitly not shipped\n\n| Topic | Tracker | Do not describe as done |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Linux vs Chromium native-width residual at the 0.1px gate | [opf-render#24](https://github.com/OpenPresentation/opf-render/issues/24) | Rounding that fixes Linux but breaks macOS is rejected |\n| General native PowerPoint fidelity and real Office Header/Footer objects (`p:hf`) | [opf#87](https://github.com/OpenPresentation/opf/issues/87) | Finite B/C and bounded Carlito edit controls above are accepted evidence, as is one finite mixed-size table edit/save/reopen ([evidence](evidence/windows-native-mixed-edit-20260922/README.md)). Tab tolerance, general mixed-size table layout and preview/native wrapping, physical glyph identity/fallback/synthesis, embedding and general layout/reflow fidelity remain open; self-import and tagged furniture do not certify arbitrary Office behavior |\n| Public-surface acceptance checklist | [opf#88](https://github.com/OpenPresentation/opf/issues/88) | Shipping features does not establish every acceptance item; use the checklist and deployment receipts |\n| HarfBuzz / prepared-glyph shaping | Archive branches `codex/archive-shaping-20260915` | Prototypes are preserved, not in npm |\n| Selectable vector PDF | [pdf plan](plans/pdf-export.md) | Shipped in opf-render 0.12.0 (opf-render#90; the browser download entry `@openpresentation/opf-render/export-browser` ships there too); PDF/UA, PDF/A and viewer coverage beyond pdf.js, PDFium and poppler remain open |\n| General SVG diagrams / Mermaid | [diagrams plan](plans/diagrams-svg.md) | Embedded SVG \u2260 native editable primitives |\n| Full visual editor / IME / bidi / repair loop | [developer adoption](plans/developer-adoption-20260915.md) | Schema support \u2260 WYSIWYG coverage |\n\nCLI 0.9.2 and earlier do not render or export PPTX; CLI 0.10.0 adds `opf render`, `opf export` and `opf import`\nthrough the optional peers opf-render and opf-pptx ([CLI reference](cli.md)). The Node `toPng` / `toPdf`\n(`svgToPng` / `svgToPdf` before 0.18) APIs stay Node-only; renderer 0.12.0 adds the separate `@openpresentation/opf-render/export-browser` entry for browsers.\nCore's file API (`open`, `save`, `convert`) is Node-only too: it reads files, font files and the engines' native packages. From\ncore 0.18 the root resolves to a browser-safe build in a browser or a worker, with the same names, where those three reject\nwith `node-only`; every other core entry is browser-safe. In a browser, use the engines' browser entries.\n\n## Predecessor notes\n\n| Older set | Relationship |\n| --- | --- |\n| core 0.16.0, CLI 0.16.0, renderer 0.16.0, PPTX 0.16.1, editor 0.16.0 | Previous coordinated set (Markdown decks, used-face SVG embedding, optional renderer converters, nested placeholder groups, `@openpresentation/cli/api`). The 0.17 set is breaking: header and footer flags become `{{slide.number}}`-style variables (FA-31), `readDeck`/`writeDeck` become `parse`/`stringify`, and `@openpresentation/cli/api` is replaced by `@openpresentation/opf/node`. |\n| core 0.15.1, CLI 0.15.0, renderer 0.15.0, PPTX 0.15.0, editor 0.15.0 | Previous coordinated set (OPF 0.15, format audit wave C; CLI 0.15.0 bundles core 0.15.1). The 0.16 set is additive for documents; the renderer's converters and font packages became optional peers (RR-63), so a 0.16 host installs the ones it uses, and the CLI depends on core instead of bundling it (RR-62). |\n| core 0.14.0, CLI 0.11.0, renderer 0.14.0, PPTX 0.14.0, editor 0.14.2 | Previous coordinated set (format audit waves A and B, RR-55 and RR-56; CLI 0.11.0 bundles core 0.13.0). The 0.15 set is breaking: a 0.14 document's catalog shape (`catalogs.<kind>.records`), catalog-id languages and `design.slideImage` are invalid in 0.15, and the 0.15 engines need the host to register the default catalog. |\n| core 0.13.0, CLI 0.11.0, renderer 0.13.1, PPTX 0.13.2, editor 0.12.1 | Previous coordinated set (chart and table data, RR-54). |\n| core 0.12.2, CLI 0.10.1, renderer 0.12.2, PPTX 0.12.4, editor 0.11.3 | Previous coordinated set (the first set whose `engines.node` is the open-ended `>=22`). The 0.13 set adds chart and table data (RR-54, [contract](chart-table-data.md)): strict chart numbers (a value is a finite number or a strict decimal string; `\"12%\"`, `\"$5\"` and `\"Q1\"` are a gap with a `chart-value-not-numeric` warning, never a guessed number), number formats (`DataColumn` `{ name, format }`), top-level `datasets` with `{ \"dataset\", \"fields\" }` references and `chart.mapping`, in core 0.13.0, previewed by renderer 0.13.0, exported and re-imported by PPTX 0.13.0 (`OPF_DATASETS_V1` and `OPF_DATA_V1` provenance), edited in the editor 0.12.x data grid and imported by CLI 0.11.0 (`opf import-data --dataset`). PPTX 0.13.0 also vendors pptxgenjs-plus 4.3.4 (was PptxGenJS 4.0.1) and PPTX 0.13.1 bundles for browsers again. Renderer 0.13.1 and PPTX 0.13.2 pin Sharp 0.35.5 (GHSA-wq5f-xc86-pv6w; output unchanged); editor 0.12.1 replaces 0.12.0, which was never published. Renderer, PPTX and editor raise their core floor to `^0.13.0` and the renderer peer to `^0.13.1` together. |\n| core 0.12.1, CLI 0.10.0, renderer 0.12.0, PPTX 0.12.2, editor 0.11.2 | Previous coordinated set. PPTX 0.12.3 corrects the table range of a chart's embedded workbook (apostrophe-quoted sheet references and bubble-series references), which made Keynote drop category charts on import (opf-pptx#162, opf-pptx#163; every other part of the package is byte-identical). Core, renderer and editor are unchanged and keep the core floor `^0.12.0` and the renderer peer `^0.12.0`. |\n| core 0.12.0, CLI 0.10.0, renderer 0.12.0, PPTX 0.12.2, editor 0.11.2 | Previous coordinated set. Core 0.12.1 deprecates the six plural audience ids (`executives`, `investors`, `customers`, `sales-team`, `marketing-team`, `regulators`) in favour of the singular ids: additive catalog data, validation warns and never errors, and no geometry moves, so renderer, PPTX and editor keep the core floor `^0.12.0`. |\n| core 0.12.0, CLI 0.10.0, renderer 0.12.0, PPTX 0.12.1, editor 0.11.1 | Previous coordinated set (PowerPoint lists only the deck's fonts). PPTX 0.12.2 also names the deck's font in the theme's `Viet` (Vietnamese) and `Uigh` (Uyghur) per-language script entries, which PowerPoint applies to `vi-VN` and `ug` runs and which kept Office's Times New Roman and Arial for those two languages (RR-17; every other language is byte-identical). Editor 0.11.2 adds the `slide-sizes` and `purposes` switch dimensions, `SLIDE_SIZE_PRESETS` and the Slide size and Purpose selects in the Design panel (RR-41, additive API). Both keep the core floor `^0.12.0` and the renderer peer `^0.12.0`. |\n| core 0.12.0, CLI 0.10.0, renderer 0.12.0, PPTX 0.12.0, editor 0.11.0 | Previous coordinated set (the 0.12.0 train). PPTX 0.12.1 writes the deck's fonts so that PowerPoint's font list shows only the fonts the deck uses (FF-05: schema-order `presentation.xml`, an own notes theme, no east-asian or complex-script font on runs, and a theme east-asian slot that is never empty); editor 0.11.1 stops the restore prompt showing a literal `null`. Both keep the core floor `^0.12.0` and the renderer peer `^0.12.0`. |\n| core 0.11.4, CLI 0.9.2, renderer 0.11.9, PPTX 0.11.9, editor 0.10.6 | Previous coordinated set (native header/footer placeholders, SVG pictures, `fromPptx` import signals; the published 0.11.4 train measured in the font-fidelity program). Core 0.12.0 moves geometry (composed font sizes on PowerPoint's 0.01 pt grid, hanging wrap whitespace, promoted regions in reading order, right-to-left decks composed mirrored), so renderer 0.12.0, PPTX 0.12.0 and editor 0.11.0 raise their core floor to `^0.12.0` and the renderer peer of PPTX and editor to `^0.12.0` together; the set adds templates and variables, numbered lists, footnotes, citations and captions and chart options (additive schema), vector PDF with selectable text and the browser export entry, the `<opf-deck>` player, the editor's slide management, autosave, data grid, find and replace, image crop, Review panel and fill UI, and the shared JSON Patch module. CLI 0.10.0 bundles core 0.12.0 and adds `opf audit`, `from-md`, `to-md`, `diff`, `merge`, `format`, `render`, `export` and `import`. |\n| core 0.11.4, CLI 0.9.2, renderer 0.11.9, PPTX 0.11.8, editor 0.10.6 | Previous coordinated set (PPTX 0.11.8 re-imports wrapped rich text as one authored payload; CLI 0.9.2 bundles core 0.11.4). PPTX 0.11.9 writes a deck footer's first text, date and slide number as native PowerPoint Header & Footer placeholders (every export also carries the footer placeholders on its master, layout and notes master, so Insert > Header & Footer works), exports an SVG image as a native SVG picture over a PNG fallback (rasterized in Node by the optional opf-render peer or `options.svgRasterizer`) and adds the opt-in `fromPptx(bytes, {signals: true})` import signals; core floor `^0.11.4` unchanged. |\n| core 0.11.4, CLI 0.9.1, renderer 0.11.9, PPTX 0.11.7, editor 0.10.6 | Previous coordinated set (the design fields compose and export natively). PPTX 0.11.8 re-imports rich text that wraps over several native lines as one authored payload (the export records the line count; decks exported by 0.11.7 import as before) and keeps the core floor `^0.11.4`; CLI 0.9.2 bundles core 0.11.4 (CLI 0.9.1 bundled core 0.11.3) and still requires Node 24. |\n| core 0.11.3, CLI 0.9.1, renderer 0.11.8, PPTX 0.11.6, editor 0.10.5 | Previous coordinated set (the native chartex export by default). Core 0.11.4 composes the design fields (logos on covers and section slides, `contentDirection`, `chartPrimary`, picture bullets, header and footer logos, the accent font), aligns a cover's tag and subtitle with its title, and sizes picture bullets and furniture images as PowerPoint does, so renderer, PPTX and editor raise their core floor to `^0.11.4` together; renderer 0.11.9 draws those fields and applies the tag contrast rule (FF-61: the tag draws in the text colour when the scheme primary is under 4.5:1); PPTX 0.11.7 exports them natively, writes every chart's text at the preview's size (FF-62: 12 pt, not 9 pt), writes slide sections as PowerPoint's section list and restores the authored form of a fresh export on import (a root payload returns as `slides.N.text`, `.items`, `.chart` ... rather than one typed block); editor 0.10.6 is a floor bump. CLI 0.9.1 still bundles core 0.11.3. |\n| core 0.11.3, CLI 0.9.1, renderer 0.11.8, PPTX 0.11.5, editor 0.10.5 | Previous coordinated set (the slide tag draws in the scheme primary colour and PPTX writes it as `a:schemeClr accent1`; the playground loads its base faces through `extraLazyFonts`). PPTX 0.11.6 exports the treemap, histogram, pareto, box-and-whisker, waterfall and funnel charts as native chartex parts by default (`toPptx({chartex: 'auto'})`, confirmed in desktop PowerPoint; `world` stays a clustered column with `chart-data-adapted` because PowerPoint's map needs online geodata; pass `chartex: 'fallback'` for the previous output) and gives chartex text the deck's label colour and font. |\n| core 0.11.3, CLI 0.9.1, renderer 0.11.6, PPTX 0.11.4, editor 0.10.4 | Previous coordinated set (the 100-layout catalog and its geometry, category-axis label rotation, quote and slide image re-import). Renderer 0.11.7 adds the `extraLazyFonts` registry option and `splitStartupFaces` (a browser host can start with Roboto Regular alone and load its other base faces on demand); renderer 0.11.8 draws the slide tag in the scheme primary colour; PPTX 0.11.5 writes the tag run as `a:schemeClr accent1` where the deck theme holds the primary (the colour is unchanged); editor 0.10.5 loads its playground base faces through `extraLazyFonts`. |\n| core 0.11.2, CLI 0.9.0, renderer 0.11.5, PPTX 0.11.3, editor 0.10.3 | Previous coordinated set (native classic and chartex chart previews, opt-in chartex export, face-level lazy fonts and the font gate's render options). Core 0.11.3 adds the pinned pptx.gallery default catalog and the 70 legacy gallery layout ids (layouts 30 to 100; 25 carry a `composition` or `contentBox` contract, which moves geometry, so renderer, PPTX and editor raise their core floor to `^0.11.3` together); renderer 0.11.6 rotates and skips dense category-axis labels; PPTX 0.11.4 re-imports quote and slide image payloads and writes theme `a:ea`/`a:cs` only where a script font is selected; editor 0.10.4 is a floor bump; CLI 0.9.1 bundles core 0.11.3. |\n| core 0.11.2, CLI 0.9.0, renderer 0.11.1, PPTX 0.11.0, editor 0.10.0 | Previous coordinated set (lockstep floors, Intos and the open families, selected-name export). Renderer 0.11.2 adds script-face loading (`scripts: 'auto'`); PPTX 0.11.1 adds `design.watermark` export; editor 0.10.2 loads the fonts a document needs before every render (FF-41). Renderer 0.11.3 previews every kept classic chart type natively; PPTX 0.11.2 exports the native construct for each kept classic chart type (with `chart-data-adapted` diagnostics where data is adapted) and writes theme colour references for table and text colours. Renderer 0.11.4 previews the seven chartex chart types natively (the world map as a non-geographic tile grid), keeps the Latin Noto Sans replacement for script schemes under `scripts: 'auto'`, shapes Noto Sans Mongolian, and bundles Raleway and Playfair Display (94 lazy faces); PPTX 0.11.3 adds the opt-in `toPptx({chartex: 'native'})` export of the chartex chart types (the default output is unchanged) and always imports chartex charts. |\n| core 0.11.0, CLI 0.9.0, renderer 0.9.0, PPTX 0.9.1, editor 0.8.0 | Previous coordinated Node 24 set (ColorRef, shared furniture). Renderer and PPTX had different core floors from 0.10.x. |\n| core 0.10.0, renderer/PPTX/CLI 0.8.0, editor 0.7.0 | Previous coordinated Node 24 baseline. Lint and furniture landed across 0.10.0/0.8.0 then layout-placeholder fixes in 0.10.1/0.8.1/0.7.1. |\n| Node 20 | Not valid for these packages |\n| Node 22 / 26 | Declared by the current set (`engines.node` `>=22`) and tested, but Node 24 is the toolchain the evidence runs on. Releases up to core 0.12.1, CLI 0.10.0, renderer 0.12.0, PPTX 0.12.3 and editor 0.11.2 declared `24.x`, so npm on Node 22 or 26 silently picked an older release |\n\nDo not install sibling `../opf-render` dist folders when following the\nquickstart.

     "title": "Content Payloads",
-    "markdown": '# Content Payloads\n\nSlide content lives directly on a slide as a full-slide payload, in layout-agnostic `blocks`, or inside a promoted region key such as `left`, `center+right`, or `top:left`.\n\nThe slide-level `title`, `subtitle` and `tag` are not payloads, but like `text` and `quote.text` they accept a string or `TextRun[]` (colored words, bold, links, `cite`/`footnote` markers); see [Rich text](rich-text.md#rich-headings-and-quotes).\n\nThe optional payload `type` can make intent explicit, but OPF should usually infer the content kind from the field present:\n\n| Field | Inferred type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| `text` | `text` | Plain string or `TextRun[]`. |\n| `bullets` | `text` | Prose bullets: plain talking points, usually `string[]`. |\n| `items` | `list` | Structured list: entries that share a shape or carry a `description`; `string[]` or `ListItem[]`. See [items versus bullets](#items-versus-bullets). |\n| `image` | `image` | Asset string shorthand or `Asset` object with `src` and optional metadata. |\n| `video` | `video` | Asset string shorthand or `Asset` object with `src` and optional metadata. |\n| `chart` | `chart` | Chart object with `type` and tabular `data`. |\n| `table` | `table` | Table object with optional `columns` and required `rows`. |\n| `code` | `code` | String shorthand or `Code` object with `source`, `language`, `filename`, and `highlight`. |\n| `metric` | `metric` | String/number shorthand or `Metric` object with `value`, `label`, `description`, `unit`, `delta`, `trend`, and `sentiment`. |\n| `quote` | `quote` | String shorthand or `Quote` object with `text` (string or `TextRun[]`), `attribution`, `role`, `photo`, and `source`. |\n| `timeline` | `timeline` | Array shorthand or `Timeline` object with `name`, `description`, and `events`. |\n\n## Items versus bullets\n\nBoth fields draw the same bulleted (or numbered) list: one marker, the same nesting `level`, rich-text entries and `numbering`, fitted by the same list engine. Nothing about the drawing differs. They differ in the kind they infer and in what an entry may carry:\n\n| | `bullets` | `items` |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Inferred kind | `text` | `list` |\n| Entry | string, `TextRun[]` or `{ text, level, start }` | string, `TextRun[]` or `{ text, description, level, start }` |\n| `description` | not allowed (a schema error) | supporting detail drawn under the entry |\n| Beside `text` in one block or region | allowed | an error (`list` and `text` are different kinds) |\n\n**The rule.** Use `bullets` for plain talking points: short lines that each stand alone. Use `items` when the entries share a shape (features, steps, options, risks) or any entry needs a `description`; never fold a heading and its detail into one string with a separator, that is what `description` is for. When in doubt, use `items`, because it can grow a `description` later without changing the payload kind. The editor helper `convertListForm` switches a payload between the two; going to `bullets` drops the descriptions.\n\nDo not give one payload both. In a block or a promoted region, `items` next to `bullets` is the error "content payload mixes fields from incompatible content types". At slide root it validates, as the shorthand for two blocks, and composes as two lists side by side; write two blocks on purpose if you want that. `numbering` applies to every list in the payload.\n\nA layout\'s placeholder kind (`list` or `text`) is what layout pickers match on (`layoutContent`), but composition does not refuse the other field and draws both the same way: the choice states what the content is, it is not a switch for the look.\n\n## Code highlight\n\n`code.highlight` marks lines of a code block: a line number or an inclusive `[start, end]` range, 1-based, for example `[3, [5, 7]]`. Lines are counted by line break in `code.source`; a line that wraps is still one line. The preview and the PPTX export draw a theme-derived band behind the marked lines and dim the others slightly; every line keeps at least 4.5:1 contrast against what it sits on (`codeHighlightColors`). The PPTX export draws one native rectangle per run of marked lines behind the per-line text boxes, and import restores `highlight` from the code provenance tag. A line past the last line, or a range written end before start, is the validation warning `code-highlight-out-of-range` or `code-highlight-range-reversed`, and engines ignore it. Pagination keeps each page\'s marked lines, renumbered from 1.\n\n## Color references\n\nEvery content color field \u2014 `TextRun.color`, styled table cell `style.fill` and `style.color`, and table cell border `color` \u2014 accepts three forms:\n\n- A literal hex color: `"#0F172A"`, `"#B42318CC"`.\n- A color-scheme slot or role name, resolved through the effective color scheme after design resolution: slots `accent1`\u2013`accent6`, `dark1`, `dark2`, `light1`, `light2`, `hyperlink`, `followedHyperlink`; roles `primary`, `secondary`, `accent`, `background`, `surface`, `surfaceAlt`, `text`, `textSecondary`. `surfaceAlt` is the alternate surface for banded table rows: core derives it from `surface` and `text` (`surfaceAltColor`), so it always differs visibly from the `surface` of the plain rows, on light and dark slides, and body text keeps 4.5:1 on it.\n- A variable reference `var:<id>` into the top-level `variables` map.\n\n```json\n{\n  "variables": { "risk": "#B42318" },\n  "slides": [\n    {\n      "title": "What Could Go Wrong",\n      "items": [\n        ["Two regions at ", { "text": "85% utilization", "color": "var:risk", "bold": true }],\n        ["Mitigations ship in ", { "text": "November", "color": "accent2" }]\n      ]\n    }\n  ]\n}\n```\n\nPrefer names and variables over literal hex: re-theming the deck updates every named reference, while a hex value stays frozen at authoring time. An unknown `var:` id is a validation warning, never an error; engines fall back to their default text color. The styled table cell and border color fields enforce the three forms at the schema level; run colors additionally accept any string so imported decks keep validating \u2014 unrecognized values warn, and renderers fall back to the theme color. See [`design-resolution.md`](./design-resolution.md) for the resolution rules.\n\n## Numbered lists\n\n`numbering` on an `items` or `bullets` payload draws numbers instead of bullets: a style name (`arabic`, `roman-upper`, `roman-lower`, `alpha-upper`, `alpha-lower`), a `{ style, start, suffix }` object, or an array with one entry per list level. PowerPoint export writes native auto-numbers and the preview draws the same numbers. See [numbered lists](numbered-lists.md).\n\n```json\n{ "items": ["Define", "Build", "Ship"], "numbering": { "style": "roman-lower", "suffix": "paren" } }\n```\n\n## Blocks\n\nUse slide-level `blocks` when a slide contains multiple content payloads, but exact placement should be inferred by the renderer. Blocks may contain a concrete content payload or a nested group with its own `blocks` and optional `composition`. Groups cannot mix child blocks with leaf payload fields. See [dynamic composition](dynamic-composition.md) for nesting and inheritance rules.\n\n```json\n{\n  "title": "Customer Feedback Summary",\n  "blocks": [\n    {\n      "table": {\n        "columns": ["Theme", "Mentions"],\n        "rows": [\n          ["Speed", 42],\n          ["Ease of use", 31]\n        ]\n      }\n    },\n    {\n      "quote": {\n        "text": "The new workflow cut review time in half.",\n        "attribution": "Operations Lead",\n        "source": "Customer interview"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}\n```\n\nAt slide root only, multiple content payload kinds are accepted as shorthand for the equivalent blocks form when there is no explicit `type`, no `blocks`, and no promoted region keys:\n\n```json\n{\n  "title": "Habitat & Territory",\n  "text": "Jaguars are strongly associated with presence of water and dense cover.",\n  "items": [\n    "Primary habitats include dense rainforests, swamps, and seasonally flooded wetlands.",\n    "Solitary animals that establish and defend large territories."\n  ]\n}\n```\n\nThe same shorthand works for other content kinds:\n\n```json\n{\n  "title": "Evidence Snapshot",\n  "chart": {\n    "type": "line",\n    "data": {\n      "columns": ["Quarter", "Sightings"],\n      "rows": [\n        ["Q1", 12],\n        ["Q2", 18]\n      ]\n    }\n  },\n  "quote": {\n    "text": "Jaguar conservation depends on connected habitat.",\n    "attribution": "Field researcher"\n  }\n}\n```\n\n## Chart\n\nChart-specific fields are grouped under `chart`. Do not put loose chart data directly on a slide or region.\n\n```json\n{\n  "title": "Revenue Trend",\n  "chart": {\n    "type": "line",\n    "data": {\n      "columns": ["Quarter", "Revenue", "Costs"],\n      "rows": [\n        ["Q1", 12, 8],\n        ["Q2", 18, 11],\n        ["Q3", 24, 15]\n      ]\n    }\n  }\n}\n```\n\nInline chart data is tabular by default. Renderers convert `columns` and `rows` into series, axes, legends, and workbook data internally.\n\nGive every chart an `alt`: one or two sentences that say what the data shows (the point and the key numbers), not "a chart" or "bar chart". The preview names the chart with it (`role="img"`, `aria-label`) and the PowerPoint export writes it as the chart frame\'s alternative text (`descr`), which `fromPptx` reads back. `"alt": ""` marks a chart decorative, as an empty image `alt` does; `validate` (`opf/chart-text-alternative`) still reports it as info so the choice is reviewed. Without `alt`, text beside the chart (a subtitle, text or table) satisfies the rule. See [chart options](chart-options.md#text-alternative).\n\nValue cells are numbers. A string is read only in strict decimal syntax (`"12"`, `" -3.5 "`, `"1e6"`); anything else (`"12%"`, `"$5"`, `"(5)"`, `"1,234"`, `"Q1"`) is a gap in the preview and the export and a `chart-value-not-numeric` warning, never a guessed value. `null` and `""` are gaps without a warning. Core `chartNumber` is the one rule every engine uses (RR-54; before it the PPTX exporter stripped non-numeric characters, so `"12%"` exported as 12).\n\nA column is a string or a `DataColumn` with a number format, which the data labels, the value axis and the exported workbook use:\n\n```json\n{\n  "chart": {\n    "type": "column",\n    "data": {\n      "columns": ["Quarter", { "name": "Revenue", "format": "$#,##0.0" }, { "name": "Margin", "format": "0%" }],\n      "rows": [["Q1", 12.4, 0.31], ["Q2", 18.1, 0.34]],\n      "source": { "src": "./data/revenue.csv", "retrieved": "2026-10-05" }\n    },\n    "mapping": { "category": "Quarter", "series": ["Revenue"] }\n  }\n}\n```\n\nFormats use the `NumberVariable.format` syntax (`#,##0`, `0.0%`, `$#,##0.00`, `#,##0 units`; a `%` multiplies by 100). `source` records provenance only; engines never read or refresh it. `mapping` picks the category, the X column of a scatter chart and the plotted series by column name; without it the first column is the category and every other column a series. Shared data lives in the top-level `datasets` map and a chart plots it with `"data": { "dataset": "revenue", "fields": ["Quarter", "Revenue"] }`. The full contract, with validation codes and the engine behaviour, is [Chart and table data](chart-table-data.md).\n\nChart data is inline columns and rows or a dataset. A data source by file or asset (`"data": { "src": "asset:revenue-csv", "columns": [...] }`) is not part of the format: no engine loaded it, and the validator rejects it. Import the data inline (with a `source`) or into a dataset instead.\n\n## Table\n\nTable-specific fields are grouped under `table`. Do not put loose `columns` or `rows` directly on a slide or region.\n\n```json\n{\n  "title": "Pipeline",\n  "table": {\n    "columns": ["Stage", "Count", "Value"],\n    "rows": [\n      ["Qualified", 42, "$1.2M"],\n      ["Proposal", 18, "$840K"]\n    ]\n  }\n}\n```\n\nA table may instead show a dataset: `"table": { "dataset": "revenue", "fields": ["Quarter", "Revenue"] }` (no `rows` or `columns`); it takes its headers, rows and column formats from the dataset, and per-cell styles need an inline table. A column header may be a `DataColumn` (`{ "name": "Revenue", "format": "$#,##0.0" }`) and a styled header or body cell takes a `format`; a number cell displays formatted (the body cell\'s own format wins over the column\'s), and `layoutTable` measures the formatted text. See [Chart and table data](chart-table-data.md).\n\nTable body cells accept strings, numbers, booleans, or `null`. Since core 0.5.0, a cell or column header also accepts the same `TextRun[]` used by rich text:\n\n```json\n{\n  "table": {\n    "columns": [["Quarter ", {"text": "growth", "bold": true}], "Value"],\n    "rows": [\n      [["Up ", {"text": "12%", "color": "#008800"}], 12]\n    ]\n  }\n}\n```\n\nUse the current coordinated Node 24 train: core 0.16.0, renderer 0.16.0, editor 0.16.0 and PPTX 0.16.1. See the [compatibility matrix](compatibility-matrix.md) for exact pins and evidence. Core measures run styles when checking overflow and keeps each row intact when paginating. The renderer traces rich cells for the editor\'s existing formatting, typing and undo controls; the exporter emits editable native text runs. PPTX 0.4.0 introduced import of supported native character styles, paragraph defaults, theme fonts/colors, external links and significant whitespace as rich runs. Unstyled body cells remain strings, and cached display text cannot recover original scalar types or live fields. Conditional table styles, merged geometry and cell fills/borders/alignment remain limited; native PowerPoint visual parity is not yet verified.\n\nA table may carry an `alt` (FA-27), the same text alternative as `Chart.alt`: one or two sentences that say what the table shows (the point and the key numbers), not "a table". The preview names the table with it (a `role="group"` with `aria-label`; the cells stay readable) and the PowerPoint export writes it as the table frame\'s alternative text (`descr`), which `fromPptx` reads back. `"alt": ""` hides a purely decorative table, as an empty image `alt` does. Unlike a chart, a table needs no `alt`: a screen reader reads a native table cell by cell, so `validate` reports nothing when it is missing, and a table beside a chart still counts as that chart\'s text alternative. The `alt` is a summary read before the cells, which stay readable text (in PowerPoint too, where `descr` on a table frame does not hide its cells), so it is most useful for a large or dense table.\n\nCore 0.6.0 adds `layoutTable` from `@openpresentation/opf/composition`. It measures scalar and rich cells, keeps short rows compact, and gives wrapped or multiline rows the height they need. When space is constrained it reduces spare row height before shrinking text, and reports overflow when the minimum fitting size cannot fit. Pass the same `scale`, font family, measurement provider and effective `minFontSize` to each consumer. The returned row boxes, cell text boxes and fits are shared by the coordinated SVG and PPTX implementations; rich table cells use uniform line advances to match native cell paragraph spacing. Native viewer fidelity remains a separate verification boundary.\n\n## Captions\n\nAn `image`, `chart`, `table` or `video` payload takes a `caption`: a string, `TextRun[]`, or `{ "text", "position": "below" | "above", "align": "left" | "center" | "right" }` (defaults `below`, `left`). It sits beside the payload field on a block or promoted-region payload, or on the slide root when the root holds exactly one of those payloads; anywhere else it is a `caption-unsupported-payload` error.\n\n```json\n{\n  "title": "Pipeline",\n  "blocks": [\n    { "image": "asset:funnel", "caption": "Figure 1. Pipeline by stage, Q3" },\n    { "table": { "columns": ["Stage", "Count"], "rows": [["Qualified", 42]] }, "caption": { "text": "Table 1. Counts", "position": "above", "align": "center" } }\n  ]\n}\n```\n\nCore composition reserves the caption band inside the block\'s region and shrinks the media by its height (`item.caption` carries the band, `item.box` is the media box); the preview and the PPTX export draw that band in the muted text colour at the caption size (0.6 of the body size, never under the readable floor). Captioned blocks are the only ones whose geometry changes. See [footnotes, citations and captions](footnotes-citations-captions.md).\n\n## Code\n\nCode-specific fields are grouped under `code`. A string value is shorthand for `code.source`; use object form when syntax highlighting or a file label matters. In object form, `source` is required. `language` colours the code in the preview and the PowerPoint export (comments, strings, numbers, keywords, names and types, in colours from the deck theme); an unknown language stays plain and the text is never changed. See [dynamic composition](dynamic-composition.md#preview-polish-shared-by-preview-and-export-rr-07) for the supported languages.\n\n```json\n{\n  "title": "Decision Rule",\n  "code": {\n    "source": "if risk > threshold:\\n    escalate(owner)\\nelse:\\n    approve(change)",\n    "language": "python",\n    "filename": "decision.py"\n  }\n}\n```\n\n## Metric\n\nMetric-specific fields are grouped under `metric`. A string or number value is shorthand for `metric.value`; numeric values stay numeric and are formatted by renderers at display time. Use object form when labels, descriptions, units, deltas, trends, or sentiment matter. A `trend` (`up`, `down`, `flat`) draws an arrow beside its word, coloured with the delta text, in the preview and the PowerPoint export; the arrow always points the way the trend does, and its colour follows `sentiment` (`positive` green, `negative` red, `neutral` the neutral text colour). When `sentiment` is absent up is positive, down is negative and flat is neutral, so set it when the direction is not the verdict: a falling churn, cost or latency is `"trend": "down", "sentiment": "positive"`. Only the trend arrow and the trend and delta text take the colour, so `sentiment` has no visible effect on a metric without a `trend`; the word stays editable text and the arrow carries "Trend: up" as its alternative text (see [dynamic composition](dynamic-composition.md#preview-polish-shared-by-preview-and-export-rr-07)).\n\nThe `number-1x` through `number-6x` layout IDs declare one title placeholder and one through six `metric` placeholders. The IDs retain their existing names; the content kind and payload key are `metric`, not `number` or `text`. For several metrics, use separate `{ "metric": ... }` entries in `blocks`. Choosing a layout does not reinterpret existing text as numeric data.\n\n```json\n{\n  "title": "Operating Metric",\n  "metric": {\n    "value": "42%",\n    "label": "Review cycle reduction",\n    "description": "Median reduction across customer review workflows.",\n    "delta": "+11 pts",\n    "trend": "up"\n  }\n}\n```\n\nA falling value that is good news keeps its downward arrow and takes the green:\n\n```json\n{\n  "title": "Churn",\n  "metric": {\n    "value": "3.1%",\n    "label": "Monthly churn",\n    "delta": "-0.6 pts",\n    "trend": "down",\n    "sentiment": "positive"\n  }\n}\n```\n\n## Quote\n\nQuote-specific fields are grouped under `quote`. A string value is shorthand for `quote.text`; use object form when attribution or citation matters. `text` is a string or `TextRun[]` with inline formatting; `attribution`, `role` and `source` are plain strings.\n\n```json\n{\n  "title": "Customer Proof",\n  "quote": {\n    "text": "The new workflow made exceptions visible before they became escalations.",\n    "attribution": "Priya Raman",\n    "source": "Customer interview"\n  }\n}\n```\n\nA testimonial attributes the quote to a person with a title and a face. `role` is the person\'s title and organization, and `photo` is their headshot, an `Asset` (a source string or an object with `src` and `alt`):\n\n```json\n{\n  "title": "Customer Proof",\n  "quote": {\n    "text": "The new workflow made exceptions visible before they became escalations.",\n    "attribution": "Priya Raman",\n    "role": "VP Operations, Acme",\n    "photo": { "src": "asset:priya-raman", "alt": "Priya Raman" },\n    "source": "Customer interview, March 2026"\n  }\n}\n```\n\nThe footer under the quote is the attribution, then the role on its own line, then the source after ` - ` on the last line. Without a `role` it is the single line it always was (`attribution - source`). With a `photo`, the headshot is a circle at the start edge of the footer row (the left in a left-to-right deck, the right in a right-to-left one), three times the footer font size across, and the footer lines sit beside it, centered on it. The photo is cropped to fill the circle, and its size follows the footer\'s font size when the readability floor shrinks the footer. Without a `photo` nothing else changes. The preview draws it with the circular clip that an image block uses for shape `circle`, and PowerPoint export writes a native picture with the `ellipse` geometry and the alt text as its description; importing that file restores `role` and `photo`. A photo needs alt text (the `opf/missing-alt-text` rule of `validate` checks `quote.photo`); an SVG photo exports as its PNG raster. A photo with no attribution, role or source still draws, alone in the footer row. The Markdown dialect has no native form for `role` and `photo`: a quote that carries them is written as an `opf` block, which round trips exactly, and a plain `> \u2014 Name, Title` line stays an attribution.\n\n## Timeline\n\nTimeline-specific fields are grouped under `timeline`. An array value is shorthand for `timeline.events`; use object form when the timeline needs a name or description. Timeline events use `when`, `what`, `description` and `status`. `status` is `done`, `current` or `planned` and marks progress: `done` is a filled marker with normal text, `current` ("we are here") is a ringed marker with a bold label, and `planned` is a hollow outlined marker with muted text. An event without a status draws as a plain filled marker. Schedule health (at risk, blocked) is not a status; say it in the event text. See [Dynamic composition](dynamic-composition.md#timeline-internals) for the exact drawing.\n\n```json\n{\n  "title": "Rollout Plan",\n  "timeline": {\n    "name": "Regional Rollout",\n    "description": "Major milestones for the rollout.",\n    "events": [\n      {\n        "when": "Q1",\n        "what": "Pilot",\n        "description": "Launch with one operations team."\n      },\n      {\n        "when": "Q2",\n        "what": "Rollout",\n        "description": "Expand to all regions."\n      }\n    ]\n  }\n}\n```\n\nA roadmap with progress states:\n\n```json\n{\n  "title": "Product roadmap",\n  "timeline": [\n    { "when": "Q1", "what": "Discovery", "status": "done" },\n    { "when": "Q2", "what": "Pilot", "status": "current" },\n    { "when": "Q3", "what": "Rollout", "status": "planned" }\n  ]\n}\n```\n\n## Regions\n\nRegion keys address a 3\xD73 grid of rows (`top`, `middle`, `bottom`) and columns (`left`, `center`, `right`):\n\n```\n                  left                 center                 right\n         +--------------------+--------------------+--------------------+\n   top   |  top:left          |  top:center        |  top:right         |\n         +--------------------+--------------------+--------------------+\n  middle |  middle:left       |  middle:center     |  middle:right      |\n         +--------------------+--------------------+--------------------+\n  bottom |  bottom:left       |  bottom:center     |  bottom:right      |\n         +--------------------+--------------------+--------------------+\n```\n\n- A bare column key (`left`) spans all three rows; a bare row key (`top`) spans all three columns.\n- `+` spans adjacent rows or columns: `center+right`, `top+middle`.\n- `row:column` combines the two: `top:left`, `middle+bottom:center+right`.\n- Keys on one slide must not overlap, and regions cannot be mixed with root payload fields.\n\nSpans compose into common slide shapes:\n\n```\n  "left" + "center+right"             "top" + "middle+bottom"\n  (sidebar + main)                    (headline band + body)\n  +----------+------------------+     +-------------------------------+\n  |          |                  |     |              top              |\n  |          |                  |     +-------------------------------+\n  |   left   |  center+right    |     |                               |\n  |          |                  |     |         middle+bottom         |\n  |          |                  |     |                               |\n  +----------+------------------+     +-------------------------------+\n\n  "top" + "middle+bottom:left" + "middle+bottom:center+right"\n  (headline band, then sidebar + main)\n  +---------------------------------------------+\n  |                     top                     |\n  +---------------+-----------------------------+\n  |               |                             |\n  | middle+bottom | middle+bottom:center+right  |\n  | :left         |                             |\n  |               |                             |\n  +---------------+-----------------------------+\n```\n\nThe same payload objects work inside regions \u2014 here, the sidebar-plus-main shape:\n\n```json\n{\n  "title": "Operating Snapshot",\n  "left": {\n    "table": {\n      "columns": ["Metric", "Value"],\n      "rows": [\n        ["Revenue", "$4.2M"],\n        ["Gross margin", "68%"]\n      ]\n    }\n  },\n  "center+right": {\n    "chart": {\n      "type": "line",\n      "data": {\n        "columns": ["Month", "Revenue"],\n        "rows": [\n          ["Jan", 3.4],\n          ["Feb", 3.8],\n          ["Mar", 4.2]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  }\n}\n```\n\n## Accessibility of the preview\n\nThe SVG preview and the PowerPoint export agree on what a reader can reach. The slide root is a labelled container (`role="group"`, `aria-roledescription="slide"`, `aria-label` set to the slide title), never an image: an image makes everything inside it presentational, so a screen reader would hear only the title. Text stays reachable, in the order it is drawn: tag, title and subtitle, the content in layout order, footnotes, then header and footer. That covers body text, list entries, quotes, metric values and labels, table cells, timeline entries, captions and furniture text.\n\nA picture with `alt` is an image with that name. Purely decorative drawing is hidden (`aria-hidden`): the background and its overlay, card frames, table cell fills and borders, dividers, timeline markers, watermarks, list bullets, a picture or chart whose `alt` is `""`, and a header or footer picture without `alt` (a logo repeated on every slide). A chart with `alt` is an image with that name, and its drawn marks are not announced separately. The deck element, the player and `renderDeckHtml` in `@openpresentation/opf-render` put the one slide container (region or figure) around the drawing, so a slide is announced once.\n'
+    "markdown": '# Content Payloads\n\nSlide content lives directly on a slide as a full-slide payload, in layout-agnostic `blocks`, or inside a promoted region key such as `left`, `center+right`, or `top:left`.\n\nThe slide-level `title`, `subtitle` and `tag` are not payloads, but like `text` and `quote.text` they accept a string or `TextRun[]` (colored words, bold, links, `cite`/`footnote` markers); see [Rich text](rich-text.md#rich-headings-and-quotes).\n\nThe optional payload `type` can make intent explicit, but OPF should usually infer the content kind from the field present:\n\n| Field | Inferred type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| `text` | `text` | Plain string or `TextRun[]`. |\n| `bullets` | `text` | Prose bullets: plain talking points, usually `string[]`. |\n| `items` | `list` | Structured list: entries that share a shape or carry a `description`; `string[]` or `ListItem[]`. See [items versus bullets](#items-versus-bullets). |\n| `image` | `image` | Asset string shorthand or `Asset` object with `src` and optional metadata. |\n| `video` | `video` | Asset string shorthand or `Asset` object with `src` and optional metadata. |\n| `chart` | `chart` | Chart object with `type` and tabular `data`. |\n| `table` | `table` | Table object with optional `columns` and required `rows`. |\n| `code` | `code` | String shorthand or `Code` object with `source`, `language`, `filename`, and `highlight`. |\n| `metric` | `metric` | String/number shorthand or `Metric` object with `value`, `label`, `description`, `unit`, `delta`, `trend`, and `sentiment`. |\n| `quote` | `quote` | String shorthand or `Quote` object with `text` (string or `TextRun[]`), `attribution`, `role`, `photo`, and `source`. |\n| `timeline` | `timeline` | Array shorthand or `Timeline` object with `name`, `description`, and `events`. |\n\n## Items versus bullets\n\nBoth fields draw the same bulleted (or numbered) list: one marker, the same nesting `level`, rich-text entries and `numbering`, fitted by the same list engine. Nothing about the drawing differs. They differ in the kind they infer and in what an entry may carry:\n\n| | `bullets` | `items` |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Inferred kind | `text` | `list` |\n| Entry | string, `TextRun[]` or `{ text, level, start }` | string, `TextRun[]` or `{ text, description, level, start }` |\n| `description` | not allowed (a schema error) | supporting detail drawn under the entry |\n| Beside `text` in one block or region | allowed | an error (`list` and `text` are different kinds) |\n\n**The rule.** Use `bullets` for plain talking points: short lines that each stand alone. Use `items` when the entries share a shape (features, steps, options, risks) or any entry needs a `description`; never fold a heading and its detail into one string with a separator, that is what `description` is for. When in doubt, use `items`, because it can grow a `description` later without changing the payload kind. The editor helper `convertListForm` switches a payload between the two; going to `bullets` drops the descriptions.\n\nDo not give one payload both. In a block or a promoted region, `items` next to `bullets` is the error "content payload mixes fields from incompatible content types". At slide root it validates, as the shorthand for two blocks, and composes as two lists side by side; write two blocks on purpose if you want that. `numbering` applies to every list in the payload.\n\nA layout\'s placeholder kind (`list` or `text`) is what layout pickers match on (`layoutContent`), but composition does not refuse the other field and draws both the same way: the choice states what the content is, it is not a switch for the look.\n\n## Code highlight\n\n`code.highlight` marks lines of a code block: a line number or an inclusive `[start, end]` range, 1-based, for example `[3, [5, 7]]`. Lines are counted by line break in `code.source`; a line that wraps is still one line. The preview and the PPTX export draw a theme-derived band behind the marked lines and dim the others slightly; every line keeps at least 4.5:1 contrast against what it sits on (`codeHighlightColors`). The PPTX export draws one native rectangle per run of marked lines behind the per-line text boxes, and import restores `highlight` from the code provenance tag. A line past the last line, or a range written end before start, is the validation warning `code-highlight-out-of-range` or `code-highlight-range-reversed`, and engines ignore it. Pagination keeps each page\'s marked lines, renumbered from 1.\n\n## Color references\n\nEvery content color field \u2014 `TextRun.color`, styled table cell `style.fill` and `style.color`, and table cell border `color` \u2014 accepts three forms:\n\n- A literal hex color: `"#0F172A"`, `"#B42318CC"`.\n- A color-scheme slot or role name, resolved through the effective color scheme after design resolution: slots `accent1`\u2013`accent6`, `dark1`, `dark2`, `light1`, `light2`, `hyperlink`, `followedHyperlink`; roles `primary`, `secondary`, `accent`, `background`, `surface`, `surfaceAlt`, `text`, `textSecondary`. `surfaceAlt` is the alternate surface for banded table rows: core derives it from `surface` and `text` (`surfaceAltColor`), so it always differs visibly from the `surface` of the plain rows, on light and dark slides, and body text keeps 4.5:1 on it.\n- A variable reference `var:<id>` into the top-level `variables` map.\n\n```json\n{\n  "variables": { "risk": "#B42318" },\n  "slides": [\n    {\n      "title": "What Could Go Wrong",\n      "items": [\n        ["Two regions at ", { "text": "85% utilization", "color": "var:risk", "bold": true }],\n        ["Mitigations ship in ", { "text": "November", "color": "accent2" }]\n      ]\n    }\n  ]\n}\n```\n\nPrefer names and variables over literal hex: re-theming the deck updates every named reference, while a hex value stays frozen at authoring time. An unknown `var:` id is a validation warning, never an error; engines fall back to their default text color. The styled table cell and border color fields enforce the three forms at the schema level; run colors additionally accept any string so imported decks keep validating \u2014 unrecognized values warn, and renderers fall back to the theme color. See [`design-resolution.md`](./design-resolution.md) for the resolution rules.\n\n## Numbered lists\n\n`numbering` on an `items` or `bullets` payload draws numbers instead of bullets: a style name (`arabic`, `roman-upper`, `roman-lower`, `alpha-upper`, `alpha-lower`), a `{ style, start, suffix }` object, or an array with one entry per list level. PowerPoint export writes native auto-numbers and the preview draws the same numbers. See [numbered lists](numbered-lists.md).\n\n```json\n{ "items": ["Define", "Build", "Ship"], "numbering": { "style": "roman-lower", "suffix": "paren" } }\n```\n\n## Blocks\n\nUse slide-level `blocks` when a slide contains multiple content payloads, but exact placement should be inferred by the renderer. Blocks may contain a concrete content payload or a nested group with its own `blocks` and optional `composition`. Groups cannot mix child blocks with leaf payload fields. See [dynamic composition](dynamic-composition.md) for nesting and inheritance rules.\n\n```json\n{\n  "title": "Customer Feedback Summary",\n  "blocks": [\n    {\n      "table": {\n        "columns": ["Theme", "Mentions"],\n        "rows": [\n          ["Speed", 42],\n          ["Ease of use", 31]\n        ]\n      }\n    },\n    {\n      "quote": {\n        "text": "The new workflow cut review time in half.",\n        "attribution": "Operations Lead",\n        "source": "Customer interview"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}\n```\n\nAt slide root only, multiple content payload kinds are accepted as shorthand for the equivalent blocks form when there is no explicit `type`, no `blocks`, and no promoted region keys:\n\n```json\n{\n  "title": "Habitat & Territory",\n  "text": "Jaguars are strongly associated with presence of water and dense cover.",\n  "items": [\n    "Primary habitats include dense rainforests, swamps, and seasonally flooded wetlands.",\n    "Solitary animals that establish and defend large territories."\n  ]\n}\n```\n\nThe same shorthand works for other content kinds:\n\n```json\n{\n  "title": "Evidence Snapshot",\n  "chart": {\n    "type": "line",\n    "data": {\n      "columns": ["Quarter", "Sightings"],\n      "rows": [\n        ["Q1", 12],\n        ["Q2", 18]\n      ]\n    }\n  },\n  "quote": {\n    "text": "Jaguar conservation depends on connected habitat.",\n    "attribution": "Field researcher"\n  }\n}\n```\n\n## Chart\n\nChart-specific fields are grouped under `chart`. Do not put loose chart data directly on a slide or region.\n\n```json\n{\n  "title": "Revenue Trend",\n  "chart": {\n    "type": "line",\n    "data": {\n      "columns": ["Quarter", "Revenue", "Costs"],\n      "rows": [\n        ["Q1", 12, 8],\n        ["Q2", 18, 11],\n        ["Q3", 24, 15]\n      ]\n    }\n  }\n}\n```\n\nInline chart data is tabular by default. Renderers convert `columns` and `rows` into series, axes, legends, and workbook data internally.\n\nGive every chart an `alt`: one or two sentences that say what the data shows (the point and the key numbers), not "a chart" or "bar chart". The preview names the chart with it (`role="img"`, `aria-label`) and the PowerPoint export writes it as the chart frame\'s alternative text (`descr`), which `fromPptx` reads back. `"alt": ""` marks a chart decorative, as an empty image `alt` does; `validate` (`opf/chart-text-alternative`) still reports it as info so the choice is reviewed. Without `alt`, text beside the chart (a subtitle, text or table) satisfies the rule. See [chart options](chart-options.md#text-alternative).\n\nValue cells are numbers. A string is read only in strict decimal syntax (`"12"`, `" -3.5 "`, `"1e6"`); anything else (`"12%"`, `"$5"`, `"(5)"`, `"1,234"`, `"Q1"`) is a gap in the preview and the export and a `chart-value-not-numeric` warning, never a guessed value. `null` and `""` are gaps without a warning. Core `chartNumber` is the one rule every engine uses (RR-54; before it the PPTX exporter stripped non-numeric characters, so `"12%"` exported as 12).\n\nA column is a string or a `DataColumn` with a number format, which the data labels, the value axis and the exported workbook use:\n\n```json\n{\n  "chart": {\n    "type": "column",\n    "data": {\n      "columns": ["Quarter", { "name": "Revenue", "format": "$#,##0.0" }, { "name": "Margin", "format": "0%" }],\n      "rows": [["Q1", 12.4, 0.31], ["Q2", 18.1, 0.34]],\n      "source": { "src": "./data/revenue.csv", "retrieved": "2026-10-05" }\n    },\n    "mapping": { "category": "Quarter", "series": ["Revenue"] }\n  }\n}\n```\n\nFormats use the `NumberVariable.format` syntax (`#,##0`, `0.0%`, `$#,##0.00`, `#,##0 units`; a `%` multiplies by 100). `source` records provenance only; engines never read or refresh it. `mapping` picks the category, the X column of a scatter chart and the plotted series by column name; without it the first column is the category and every other column a series. Shared data lives in the top-level `datasets` map and a chart plots it with `"data": { "dataset": "revenue", "fields": ["Quarter", "Revenue"] }`. The full contract, with validation codes and the engine behaviour, is [Chart and table data](chart-table-data.md).\n\nChart data is inline columns and rows or a dataset. A data source by file or asset (`"data": { "src": "asset:revenue-csv", "columns": [...] }`) is not part of the format: no engine loaded it, and the validator rejects it. Import the data inline (with a `source`) or into a dataset instead.\n\n## Table\n\nTable-specific fields are grouped under `table`. Do not put loose `columns` or `rows` directly on a slide or region.\n\n```json\n{\n  "title": "Pipeline",\n  "table": {\n    "columns": ["Stage", "Count", "Value"],\n    "rows": [\n      ["Qualified", 42, "$1.2M"],\n      ["Proposal", 18, "$840K"]\n    ]\n  }\n}\n```\n\nA table may instead show a dataset: `"table": { "dataset": "revenue", "fields": ["Quarter", "Revenue"] }` (no `rows` or `columns`); it takes its headers, rows and column formats from the dataset, and per-cell styles need an inline table. A column header may be a `DataColumn` (`{ "name": "Revenue", "format": "$#,##0.0" }`) and a styled header or body cell takes a `format`; a number cell displays formatted (the body cell\'s own format wins over the column\'s), and `layoutTable` measures the formatted text. See [Chart and table data](chart-table-data.md).\n\nTable body cells accept strings, numbers, booleans, or `null`. Since core 0.5.0, a cell or column header also accepts the same `TextRun[]` used by rich text:\n\n```json\n{\n  "table": {\n    "columns": [["Quarter ", {"text": "growth", "bold": true}], "Value"],\n    "rows": [\n      [["Up ", {"text": "12%", "color": "#008800"}], 12]\n    ]\n  }\n}\n```\n\nUse the current coordinated Node 24 train: core 0.17.0, renderer 0.17.1, editor 0.17.0 and PPTX 0.17.0. See the [compatibility matrix](compatibility-matrix.md) for exact pins and evidence. Core measures run styles when checking overflow and keeps each row intact when paginating. The renderer traces rich cells for the editor\'s existing formatting, typing and undo controls; the exporter emits editable native text runs. PPTX 0.4.0 introduced import of supported native character styles, paragraph defaults, theme fonts/colors, external links and significant whitespace as rich runs. Unstyled body cells remain strings, and cached display text cannot recover original scalar types or live fields. Conditional table styles, merged geometry and cell fills/borders/alignment remain limited; native PowerPoint visual parity is not yet verified.\n\nA table may carry an `alt` (FA-27), the same text alternative as `Chart.alt`: one or two sentences that say what the table shows (the point and the key numbers), not "a table". The preview names the table with it (a `role="group"` with `aria-label`; the cells stay readable) and the PowerPoint export writes it as the table frame\'s alternative text (`descr`), which `fromPptx` reads back. `"alt": ""` hides a purely decorative table, as an empty image `alt` does. Unlike a chart, a table needs no `alt`: a screen reader reads a native table cell by cell, so `validate` reports nothing when it is missing, and a table beside a chart still counts as that chart\'s text alternative. The `alt` is a summary read before the cells, which stay readable text (in PowerPoint too, where `descr` on a table frame does not hide its cells), so it is most useful for a large or dense table.\n\nCore 0.6.0 adds `layoutTable` from `@openpresentation/opf/composition`. It measures scalar and rich cells, keeps short rows compact, and gives wrapped or multiline rows the height they need. When space is constrained it reduces spare row height before shrinking text, and reports overflow when the minimum fitting size cannot fit. Pass the same `scale`, font family, measurement provider and effective `minFontSize` to each consumer. The returned row boxes, cell text boxes and fits are shared by the coordinated SVG and PPTX implementations; rich table cells use uniform line advances to match native cell paragraph spacing. Native viewer fidelity remains a separate verification boundary.\n\n## Captions\n\nAn `image`, `chart`, `table` or `video` payload takes a `caption`: a string, `TextRun[]`, or `{ "text", "position": "below" | "above", "align": "left" | "center" | "right" }` (defaults `below`, `left`). It sits beside the payload field on a block or promoted-region payload, or on the slide root when the root holds exactly one of those payloads; anywhere else it is a `caption-unsupported-payload` error.\n\n```json\n{\n  "title": "Pipeline",\n  "blocks": [\n    { "image": "asset:funnel", "caption": "Figure 1. Pipeline by stage, Q3" },\n    { "table": { "columns": ["Stage", "Count"], "rows": [["Qualified", 42]] }, "caption": { "text": "Table 1. Counts", "position": "above", "align": "center" } }\n  ]\n}\n```\n\nCore composition reserves the caption band inside the block\'s region and shrinks the media by its height (`item.caption` carries the band, `item.box` is the media box); the preview and the PPTX export draw that band in the muted text colour at the caption size (0.6 of the body size, never under the readable floor). Captioned blocks are the only ones whose geometry changes. See [footnotes, citations and captions](footnotes-citations-captions.md).\n\n## Code\n\nCode-specific fields are grouped under `code`. A string value is shorthand for `code.source`; use object form when syntax highlighting or a file label matters. In object form, `source` is required. `language` colours the code in the preview and the PowerPoint export (comments, strings, numbers, keywords, names and types, in colours from the deck theme); an unknown language stays plain and the text is never changed. See [dynamic composition](dynamic-composition.md#preview-polish-shared-by-preview-and-export-rr-07) for the supported languages.\n\n```json\n{\n  "title": "Decision Rule",\n  "code": {\n    "source": "if risk > threshold:\\n    escalate(owner)\\nelse:\\n    approve(change)",\n    "language": "python",\n    "filename": "decision.py"\n  }\n}\n```\n\n## Metric\n\nMetric-specific fields are grouped under `metric`. A string or number value is shorthand for `metric.value`; numeric values stay numeric and are formatted by renderers at display time. Use object form when labels, descriptions, units, deltas, trends, or sentiment matter. A `trend` (`up`, `down`, `flat`) draws an arrow beside its word, coloured with the delta text, in the preview and the PowerPoint export; the arrow always points the way the trend does, and its colour follows `sentiment` (`positive` green, `negative` red, `neutral` the neutral text colour). When `sentiment` is absent up is positive, down is negative and flat is neutral, so set it when the direction is not the verdict: a falling churn, cost or latency is `"trend": "down", "sentiment": "positive"`. Only the trend arrow and the trend and delta text take the colour, so `sentiment` has no visible effect on a metric without a `trend`; the word stays editable text and the arrow carries "Trend: up" as its alternative text (see [dynamic composition](dynamic-composition.md#preview-polish-shared-by-preview-and-export-rr-07)).\n\nThe `number-1x` through `number-6x` layout IDs declare one title placeholder and one through six `metric` placeholders. The IDs retain their existing names; the content kind and payload key are `metric`, not `number` or `text`. For several metrics, use separate `{ "metric": ... }` entries in `blocks`. Choosing a layout does not reinterpret existing text as numeric data.\n\n```json\n{\n  "title": "Operating Metric",\n  "metric": {\n    "value": "42%",\n    "label": "Review cycle reduction",\n    "description": "Median reduction across customer review workflows.",\n    "delta": "+11 pts",\n    "trend": "up"\n  }\n}\n```\n\nA falling value that is good news keeps its downward arrow and takes the green:\n\n```json\n{\n  "title": "Churn",\n  "metric": {\n    "value": "3.1%",\n    "label": "Monthly churn",\n    "delta": "-0.6 pts",\n    "trend": "down",\n    "sentiment": "positive"\n  }\n}\n```\n\n## Quote\n\nQuote-specific fields are grouped under `quote`. A string value is shorthand for `quote.text`; use object form when attribution or citation matters. `text` is a string or `TextRun[]` with inline formatting; `attribution`, `role` and `source` are plain strings.\n\n```json\n{\n  "title": "Customer Proof",\n  "quote": {\n    "text": "The new workflow made exceptions visible before they became escalations.",\n    "attribution": "Priya Raman",\n    "source": "Customer interview"\n  }\n}\n```\n\nA testimonial attributes the quote to a person with a title and a face. `role` is the person\'s title and organization, and `photo` is their headshot, an `Asset` (a source string or an object with `src` and `alt`):\n\n```json\n{\n  "title": "Customer Proof",\n  "quote": {\n    "text": "The new workflow made exceptions visible before they became escalations.",\n    "attribution": "Priya Raman",\n    "role": "VP Operations, Acme",\n    "photo": { "src": "asset:priya-raman", "alt": "Priya Raman" },\n    "source": "Customer interview, March 2026"\n  }\n}\n```\n\nThe footer under the quote is the attribution, then the role on its own line, then the source after ` - ` on the last line. Without a `role` it is the single line it always was (`attribution - source`). With a `photo`, the headshot is a circle at the start edge of the footer row (the left in a left-to-right deck, the right in a right-to-left one), three times the footer font size across, and the footer lines sit beside it, centered on it. The photo is cropped to fill the circle, and its size follows the footer\'s font size when the readability floor shrinks the footer. Without a `photo` nothing else changes. The preview draws it with the circular clip that an image block uses for shape `circle`, and PowerPoint export writes a native picture with the `ellipse` geometry and the alt text as its description; importing that file restores `role` and `photo`. A photo needs alt text (the `opf/missing-alt-text` rule of `validate` checks `quote.photo`); an SVG photo exports as its PNG raster. A photo with no attribution, role or source still draws, alone in the footer row. The Markdown dialect has no native form for `role` and `photo`: a quote that carries them is written as an `opf` block, which round trips exactly, and a plain `> \u2014 Name, Title` line stays an attribution.\n\n## Timeline\n\nTimeline-specific fields are grouped under `timeline`. An array value is shorthand for `timeline.events`; use object form when the timeline needs a name or description. Timeline events use `when`, `what`, `description` and `status`. `status` is `done`, `current` or `planned` and marks progress: `done` is a filled marker with normal text, `current` ("we are here") is a ringed marker with a bold label, and `planned` is a hollow outlined marker with muted text. An event without a status draws as a plain filled marker. Schedule health (at risk, blocked) is not a status; say it in the event text. See [Dynamic composition](dynamic-composition.md#timeline-internals) for the exact drawing.\n\n```json\n{\n  "title": "Rollout Plan",\n  "timeline": {\n    "name": "Regional Rollout",\n    "description": "Major milestones for the rollout.",\n    "events": [\n      {\n        "when": "Q1",\n        "what": "Pilot",\n        "description": "Launch with one operations team."\n      },\n      {\n        "when": "Q2",\n        "what": "Rollout",\n        "description": "Expand to all regions."\n      }\n    ]\n  }\n}\n```\n\nA roadmap with progress states:\n\n```json\n{\n  "title": "Product roadmap",\n  "timeline": [\n    { "when": "Q1", "what": "Discovery", "status": "done" },\n    { "when": "Q2", "what": "Pilot", "status": "current" },\n    { "when": "Q3", "what": "Rollout", "status": "planned" }\n  ]\n}\n```\n\n## Regions\n\nRegion keys address a 3\xD73 grid of rows (`top`, `middle`, `bottom`) and columns (`left`, `center`, `right`):\n\n```\n                  left                 center                 right\n         +--------------------+--------------------+--------------------+\n   top   |  top:left          |  top:center        |  top:right         |\n         +--------------------+--------------------+--------------------+\n  middle |  middle:left       |  middle:center     |  middle:right      |\n         +--------------------+--------------------+--------------------+\n  bottom |  bottom:left       |  bottom:center     |  bottom:right      |\n         +--------------------+--------------------+--------------------+\n```\n\n- A bare column key (`left`) spans all three rows; a bare row key (`top`) spans all three columns.\n- `+` spans adjacent rows or columns: `center+right`, `top+middle`.\n- `row:column` combines the two: `top:left`, `middle+bottom:center+right`.\n- Keys on one slide must not overlap, and regions cannot be mixed with root payload fields.\n\nSpans compose into common slide shapes:\n\n```\n  "left" + "center+right"             "top" + "middle+bottom"\n  (sidebar + main)                    (headline band + body)\n  +----------+------------------+     +-------------------------------+\n  |          |                  |     |              top              |\n  |          |                  |     +-------------------------------+\n  |   left   |  center+right    |     |                               |\n  |          |                  |     |         middle+bottom         |\n  |          |                  |     |                               |\n  +----------+------------------+     +-------------------------------+\n\n  "top" + "middle+bottom:left" + "middle+bottom:center+right"\n  (headline band, then sidebar + main)\n  +---------------------------------------------+\n  |                     top                     |\n  +---------------+-----------------------------+\n  |               |                             |\n  | middle+bottom | middle+bottom:center+right  |\n  | :left         |                             |\n  |               |                             |\n  +---------------+-----------------------------+\n```\n\nThe same payload objects work inside regions \u2014 here, the sidebar-plus-main shape:\n\n```json\n{\n  "title": "Operating Snapshot",\n  "left": {\n    "table": {\n      "columns": ["Metric", "Value"],\n      "rows": [\n        ["Revenue", "$4.2M"],\n        ["Gross margin", "68%"]\n      ]\n    }\n  },\n  "center+right": {\n    "chart": {\n      "type": "line",\n      "data": {\n        "columns": ["Month", "Revenue"],\n        "rows": [\n          ["Jan", 3.4],\n          ["Feb", 3.8],\n          ["Mar", 4.2]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  }\n}\n```\n\n## Accessibility of the preview\n\nThe SVG preview and the PowerPoint export agree on what a reader can reach. The slide root is a labelled container (`role="group"`, `aria-roledescription="slide"`, `aria-label` set to the slide title), never an image: an image makes everything inside it presentational, so a screen reader would hear only the title. Text stays reachable, in the order it is drawn: tag, title and subtitle, the content in layout order, footnotes, then header and footer. That covers body text, list entries, quotes, metric values and labels, table cells, timeline entries, captions and furniture text.\n\nA picture with `alt` is an image with that name. Purely decorative drawing is hidden (`aria-hidden`): the background and its overlay, card frames, table cell fills and borders, dividers, timeline markers, watermarks, list bullets, a picture or chart whose `alt` is `""`, and a header or footer picture without `alt` (a logo repeated on every slide). A chart with `alt` is an image with that name, and its drawn marks are not announced separately. The deck element, the player and `renderDeckHtml` in `@openpresentation/opf-render` put the one slide container (region or figure) around the drawing, so a slide is announced once.\n'

-    "markdown": '# CSV and JSON data in OPF\n\nImport CSV, TSV, and JSON as ordinary inline tables or charts. The resulting OPF stays editable in the browser and works with PPTX export without needing the original file.\n\n## Editor\n\nClick **Import data** in the editor toolbar. Paste data or select a `.csv`, `.tsv`, or `.json` file. Choose Table or Chart, review the slide preview, and import. Charts let you choose the category column and numeric series. You can insert a new slide or replace a selected table/chart, including one inside a nested block. Imports are one undoable operation.\n\nThe first CSV/TSV row supplies column names by default. Uncheck that option for headerless data. JSON supports:\n\n- An array of records: `[{"Quarter":"Q1","Revenue":12},{"Quarter":"Q2","Revenue":18}]`.\n- A matrix with a header row: `[["Quarter","Revenue"],["Q1",12],["Q2",18]]`.\n- An explicit table: `{"columns":["Quarter","Revenue"],"rows":[["Q1",12],["Q2",18]]}`.\n\nAll record keys become columns in first-seen order. Missing record fields become null. Nested objects and arrays in cells must be flattened before import. Ragged rows, duplicate column names, malformed CSV, and invalid JSON produce errors.\n\nCSV table values stay strings, preserving identifiers such as `001` and exact input text. JSON scalar cell types are retained. Chart series convert strict numeric strings to numbers. Blank, null, boolean, currency-formatted, percentage-formatted, and ambiguous numeric values are rejected as measures; they are never silently replaced with zero. Numeric category labels remain categories. Choose one nonnegative series for pie/donut charts.\n\nThe strict rule is core `chartNumber` (RR-54): a finite number, or a trimmed string in plain decimal syntax (`12`, `-3.5`, `0.25`, `1e6`). `12%`, `$5`, `(5)`, `1,234`, `1.234,5` and `Q1` are not numbers. Import rejects them; in an existing chart the preview and the PPTX export plot them as gaps and the validator warns `chart-value-not-numeric`. Keep the stored value plain (0.31, not `31%`) and put the display in a column format, `{ "name": "Margin", "format": "0%" }`; see [Chart and table data](chart-table-data.md).\n\n### Datasets and provenance\n\nData that several charts or tables show can live once in the top-level `datasets` map and be referenced by id: `"chart": { "type": "line", "data": { "dataset": "revenue" } }`, `"table": { "dataset": "revenue", "fields": ["Quarter", "Revenue"] }`. A dataset (or inline chart data) records where it came from with `source`: `{ "src": "./data/revenue.csv", "sheet"?, "range"?, "fields"?, "retrieved": "2026-10-05", "description"? }`. Engines keep `source` through editing, export and re-import, and never read, fetch or refresh it; re-import to update the data.\n\nThe browser preview supports imported column, bar, line, area, pie, and donut charts, including multiple series for the first four types. Large tables or long labels can still need layout adjustments or pagination.\n\n## CLI\n\nUse the published [CLI 0.16.0](../packages/cli/README.md) on Node 24:\n\n```sh\nopf import-data revenue.csv --as table --output table.opf.json\nopf import-data revenue.json --as chart --chart-type line --output chart.opf.json\nopf import-data revenue.csv --as chart --category Quarter --series \'["Revenue","Costs"]\' --into deck.opf.json --in-place\nopf import-data revised.csv --as table --into deck.opf.json --path /slides/0/blocks/0/table --output reviewed.opf.json\nopf import-data revenue.csv --as chart --dataset revenue --into deck.opf.json --in-place\n```\n\nImport is deterministic: the same data, options and deck always give the same bytes, from any working directory and on any OS. A new slide gets the id `data-` plus eight hex digits of a SHA-256 over the data text (line endings and a BOM normalised) and the options that shape the import; a deck that already has that id gets `data-xxxxxxxx-2`, `-3`, and so on. `--id <slideId>` names the slide yourself and fails (exit 1, nothing written) if the deck already has it. With `--dataset`, `source.src` is the data file\'s path relative to the deck\'s folder with `/` separators (relative to the working directory when the result goes to stdout), and `source.retrieved` is recorded only when you pass `--date YYYY-MM-DD`. The command never reads the clock, and a re-import drops an older `retrieved` because it described the old data.\n\n`--into` appends a new data slide unless `--path` names an existing content container\'s `/table` or `/chart` field. The parent must already exist. The complete resulting document must validate. Unrelated fields remain intact. Without `--output` or `--in-place`, the document goes to stdout for review or piping. Existing output files require `--force`.\n\nUse `--format csv|tsv|json` to override format detection, `--delimiter \';\'` for semicolon CSV, `--no-header` for row arrays without labels, `--columns \'["Quarter","Revenue"]\'` to select/reorder columns, and `--title` to name a new data slide. `--dataset <id>` (RR-54, in the CLI release after 0.10.0) writes the imported columns and rows into `datasets.<id>` (replacing an existing dataset\'s rows and columns and keeping its title, its description and the format of every column whose name is unchanged; `source` records the file, and keeps its other fields only when the same file is re-imported; data read from stdin records no `source`) and references it from the new table or chart instead of embedding a copy. `--series` and `--columns` accept JSON arrays so column names can contain commas. `-` reads data from stdin.\n\n## Package API\n\n```js\nimport {parseTabularData, importData} from \'@openpresentation/opf/data\';\n\nconst csv = \'Quarter,Revenue,Costs\\nQ1,12,8\\nQ2,18,10\';\nconst table = importData(csv, {as: \'table\', format: \'csv\'});\nconst chart = importData(csv, {\n  as: \'chart\', format: \'csv\', chartType: \'line\',\n  category: \'Quarter\', series: [\'Revenue\', \'Costs\'],\n});\nconst document = {slides: [{title: \'Quarterly data\', blocks: [table, chart]}]};\nconst data = parseTabularData(csv); // {columns, rows}, with CSV strings preserved\n```\n\nThe functions also accept already-parsed JSON and are re-exported by `@openpresentation/opf-editor/data`. They are synchronous and browser-safe. Hosts read files with `File.text()` or Node\'s file APIs and pass their contents in. Neither function fetches URLs, resolves asset references, or reads files automatically.\n\nThis is an embedded data snapshot, not a live file link. Record the origin with `source` (see above). OPF has no chart data source by file or asset (`"data": { "src": ... }`); it was removed because no engine loaded it ([opf#240](https://github.com/OpenPresentation/opf/issues/240) is descoped), and the validator rejects it. Tables use inline `columns`/`rows` or a dataset; there is no `table.src` field. Re-import after a source changes.\n\n`parseTabularData` and `importData` share the `@openpresentation/opf/data` entry with the chart and table data API: `chartNumber`, `formatDataNumber`, `toExcelNumberFormat`, `fromExcelNumberFormat`, `inlineDatasets`, `resolveChartData`, `resolveTableData` and `tableCellDisplayValue`.\n\nThese APIs are published in core 0.11.0 and re-exported by editor 0.8.0; CLI 0.10.0 and later include `import-data`. Use the coordinated Node 24 train with core 0.16.0, renderer 0.16.0, editor 0.16.0 and PPTX 0.16.1 for preview/export. Exact pins and compatibility boundaries are in the [compatibility matrix](compatibility-matrix.md) and [release plan](../release-plan.json).\n\n## Verification\n\n`node packages/javascript/test/data.mjs` checks parsing and mapping. `pnpm test:cli:packed` tests the installed CLI including data import. `pnpm test:data` verifies SVG series/signs and PPTX export/import. After `pnpm demo:editor`, open `/data-tests.html` on the editor server for file upload, preview, insertion, replacement, validation, and undo checks.\n'

A new slide gets the id `data-` plus eight hex digits of a SHA-256 over the data text (line endings and a BOM normalised) and the options that shape the import; a deck that already has that id gets `data-xxxxxxxx-2`, `-3`, and so on. `--id <slideId>` names the slide yourself and fails (exit 1, nothing written) if the deck already has it. With `--dataset`, `source.src` is the data file\'s path relative to the deck\'s folder with `/` separators (relative to the working directory when the result goes to stdout), and `source.retrieved` is recorded only when you pass `--date YYYY-MM-DD`. The command never reads the clock, and a re-import drops an older `retrieved` because it described the old data.\n\n`--into` appends a new data slide unless `--path` names an existing content container\'s `/table` or `/chart` field. The parent must already exist. The complete resulting document must validate. Unrelated fields remain intact. The output follows every command\'s convention (CLI 0.18): an output file after the data, `-i` to rewrite the `--into` deck, and stdout without either, for review or piping. Existing output files require `--force`; `--to json|yaml|md` picks the form for stdout.\n\nUse `--data-format csv|tsv|json` (`--format csv|tsv|json` before CLI 0.18) to override format detection, `--delimiter \';\'` for semicolon CSV, `--no-header` for row arrays without labels, `--columns \'["Quarter","Revenue"]\'` to select/reorder columns, and `--title` to name a new data slide. `--dataset <id>` (RR-54, in the CLI release after 0.10.0) writes the imported columns and rows into `datasets.<id>` (replacing an existing dataset\'s rows and columns and keeping its title, its description and the format of every column whose name is unchanged; `source` records the file, and keeps its other fields only when the same file is re-imported; data read from stdin records no `source`) and references it from the new table or chart instead of embedding a copy. `--series` and `--columns` accept JSON arrays so column names can contain commas. `-` reads data from stdin.\n\n## Package API\n\n```js\nimport {parseTabularData, ingest} from \'@openpresentation/opf/data\';\n\nconst csv = \'Quarter,Revenue,Costs\\nQ1,12,8\\nQ2,18,10\';\nconst table = ingest(csv, {as: \'table\', format: \'csv\'});\nconst chart = ingest(csv, {\n  as: \'chart\', format: \'csv\', chartType: \'line\',\n  category: \'Quarter\', series: [\'Revenue\', \'Costs\'],\n});\nconst document = {slides: [{title: \'Quarterly data\', blocks: [table, chart]}]};\nconst data = parseTabularData(csv); // {columns, rows}, with CSV strings preserved\n```\n\nThe functions also accept already-parsed JSON and are re-exported by `@openpresentation/opf-editor/data`. They are synchronous and browser-safe. Hosts read files with `File.text()` or Node\'s file APIs and pass their contents in. Neither function fetches URLs, resolves asset references, or reads files automatically.\n\nThis is an embedded data snapshot, not a live file link. Record the origin with `source` (see above). OPF has no chart data source by file or asset (`"data": { "src": ... }`); it was removed because no engine loaded it ([opf#240](https://github.com/OpenPresentation/opf/issues/240) is descoped), and the validator rejects it. Tables use inline `columns`/`rows` or a dataset; there is no `table.src` field. Re-import after a source changes.\n\n`parseTabularData` and `ingest` share the `@openpresentation/opf/data` entry with the chart and table data API: `chartNumber`, `formatDataNumber`, `toExcelNumberFormat`, `fromExcelNumberFormat`, `inlineDatasets`, `resolveChartData`, `resolveTableData` and `tableCellDisplayValue`.\n\nThese APIs are published in core 0.11.0 and re-exported by editor 0.8.0; CLI 0.10.0 to 0.17 ship the same command as `import-data` and core ships the function as `importData`; OPF 0.18 renames them to `ingest` and `opf ingest` without aliases. Use the coordinated Node 24 train with core 0.17.0, renderer 0.17.0, editor 0.17.0 and PPTX 0.17.0 for preview/export. Exact pins and compatibility boundaries are in the [compatibility matrix](compatibility-matrix.md) and [release plan](../release-plan.json).\n\n## Verification\n\n`node packages/javascript/test/data.mjs` checks parsing and mapping. `pnpm test:cli:packed` tests the installed CLI including data import. `pnpm test:data` verifies SVG series/signs and PPTX export/import. After `pnpm demo:editor`, open `/data-tests.html` on the editor server for file upload, preview, insertion, replacement, validation, and undo checks.\n'

The schema spreads these rules across field descriptions; this page states them once, as an algorithm.\n\n## Precedence\n\nFor every design field independently, the most specific source wins:\n\n```\n  wins   +--------------------------------------------------------+\n    ^    | 1. slide design     slides[i].design.*                 |\n    |    +--------------------------------------------------------+\n    |    | 2. deck design      design.* on the presentation root  |\n    |    +--------------------------------------------------------+\n    |    | 3. resolved theme   colorScheme, fontScheme,            |\n    |    |                     background, dimensions from the     |\n    |    |                     theme record                        |\n    |    +--------------------------------------------------------+\n  loses  | 4. engine defaults  e.g. spec/reference/                |\n    v    |                     engine-defaults.json                |\n         +--------------------------------------------------------+\n```\n\n1. **Slide design** \u2014 `slides[].design.*`\n2. **Deck design** \u2014 `design.*` on the presentation root\n3. **Resolved theme** \u2014 defaults carried by the theme record (`colorScheme`, `fontScheme`, `background`, `dimensions`)\n4. **Engine defaults** \u2014 [`spec/reference/engine-defaults.json`](../spec/reference/engine-defaults.json), compiled into core as `ENGINE_DEFAULT_THEME`, `ENGINE_DEFAULT_COLOR_SCHEME` and `ENGINE_DEFAULT_FONT_SCHEME`\n\nResolution is **per field**, not per object. A slide that sets only `design.contentAlignment` inherits everything else from the deck design; a deck that sets only `design.colorScheme` keeps the theme\'s font scheme and background.\n\nTwo field-level rules complete the picture:\n\n- **Base-plus-overrides within one object.** Wherever a reference object carries an `id` (`ColorScheme`, `FontScheme`, and the inline `Audience`, `Purpose` and `Tone`), the `id` resolves a catalog record as the base and sibling fields override the resolved record per key. `design.theme` is a reference string only. The string shorthand (`"colorScheme": "cool-horizon"`) is equivalent to setting only `id`.\n\n  ```\n  "colorScheme": { "id": "cool-horizon", "accent1": "#0F4C81" }\n\n     catalog record "cool-horizon"        sibling fields on the object\n     accent1: "#2874A6"   <-- replaced -- accent1: "#0F4C81"\n     accent2: "#1B4F72"   <-- kept\n     light1:  "#FFFFFF"   <-- kept\n                  |\n                  v\n     effective scheme: accent1 from the override, everything else\n     from the record\n  ```\n- **Explicit suppression.** `watermark`, `header`, and `footer` accept `false` to switch off an inherited value \u2014 distinct from omitting the field, which inherits.\n\nEvery reference inside this chain resolves the one way every content reference does: `catalogs.custom`, then the records embedded under `catalogs.default`, then the catalog the host registered for its source (`name:id` in `catalogs.<name>`, then the host catalog for its source); see [`how-opf-works.md`](./how-opf-works.md) and [the catalogs page](default-catalog.md).\n\n## Worked example 1: color scheme through every level\n\n```json\n{\n  "design": {\n    "theme": "classic",\n    "colorScheme": "forest-green"\n  },\n  "slides": [\n    { "title": "Inherits the deck" },\n    {\n      "title": "Slide override",\n      "design": {\n        "colorScheme": { "id": "cool-horizon", "accent1": "#0F4C81" }\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}\n```\n\n- Slide 1: the `classic` theme record supplies its own default color scheme, but the deck design sets `colorScheme` explicitly, so `forest-green` wins (level 2 beats level 3). Fonts, background, and dimensions still come from `classic`.\n- Slide 2: slide design beats deck design (level 1 beats level 2). The `cool-horizon` record resolves as the base, then `accent1` is replaced by `#0F4C81`. All other `cool-horizon` slots survive.\n\nThere is no ambiguity between "override" and "reference": every scheme value *is* a reference, and any sibling fields on the same object are overrides applied after the reference resolves.\n\n## Worked example 2: backgrounds and suppression\n\n```json\n{\n  "design": {\n    "theme": "dark",\n    "background": "light1",\n    "footer": {\n      "left": { "text": "Acme Corp" },\n      "right": { "text": "{{slide.number}}" }\n    }\n  },\n  "slides": [\n    { "title": "Light slide in a dark theme" },\n    {\n      "title": "Section divider",\n      "design": {\n        "background": {\n          "type": "gradient",\n          "gradient": {\n            "angle": 90,\n            "stops": [\n              { "color": "#0B1B2B", "position": 0 },\n              { "color": "#123A5F", "position": 1 }\n            ]\n          }\n        },\n        "footer": false\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}\n```\n\n- Slide 1: the deck-level `background: "light1"` overrides the `dark` theme\'s default background. `light1` is a theme slot \u2014 it resolves through the effective color scheme, which itself resolved through the chain above.\n- Slide 2: the gradient replaces the deck background for this slide only, and `footer: false` suppresses the inherited footer rather than inheriting or replacing it.\n\n## Worked example 3: font scheme models\n\n```json\n{\n  "design": {\n    "fontScheme": {\n      "id": "aptos",\n      "code": "JetBrains Mono"\n    }\n  }\n}\n```\n\nThe `aptos` record supplies the OOXML pair (`major`/`minor`). The `code` role is an OPF-specific addition with no OOXML slot, so it layers on top without disturbing the pair. When serializing to PowerPoint, engines write `major`/`minor` to `majorFont`/`minorFont` and map abstract roles (`heading`, `body`) onto those slots. `accent` has no slot; the `code` family is written directly on code runs. The same slot-versus-role split applies to color schemes: OOXML slots (`accent1`\u2013`accent6`, `dark1/2`, `light1/2`) round-trip directly, abstract roles (`primary`, `text`, `surface`, \u2026) are mapped onto slots by the engine.\n\n### Code font\n\nThe `code` role resolves per key like every other override:\n\n1. `code` on the effective `design.fontScheme` object;\n2. `code` on the resolved font-scheme record (the `consolas` and `courier-new` records carry `"Consolas"` and `"Courier New"`);\n3. otherwise **Roboto Mono**, the documented fallback that `@openpresentation/opf-render` bundles.\n\nThe heading and body families are never reused as the code fallback, so choosing `aptos` still gives Roboto Mono code unless the deck sets `code`. `resolveFontFamilies()` in `@openpresentation/opf/composition` applies these rules for all engines.\n\n### Engine default font scheme\n\nThe last-resort font scheme applies only when neither the slide, the deck nor the resolved theme names one, or when the reference resolves nowhere. It is an engine default in code, not a catalog record: `ENGINE_DEFAULT_FONT_SCHEME` (`{ major: "Aptos Display", minor: "Aptos", languageFamily: "latin" }`, the drawing fields of the gallery\'s `aptos` scheme), recorded in [`engine-defaults.json`](../spec/reference/engine-defaults.json) and exported from the package root and `@openpresentation/opf/composition`. A document with no `design` uses the engine default theme (`ENGINE_DEFAULT_THEME`, which names no font scheme), so it gets Aptos in every engine without any catalog registered.\n\nEvery engine shares this one last resort, so a theme without `fontScheme` is measured, paginated, previewed and exported in the same fonts:\n\n| Engine | Last resort | Where |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Core pagination and validate | `ENGINE_DEFAULT_FONT_SCHEME` | `packages/javascript/src/design-records.ts` |\n| opf-render preview | core\'s `resolveSlideContext` | `src/svg.js` |\n| opf-editor composition and slide transfer | core\'s `resolveSlideContext` | `src/font-defaults.js` |\n| opf-pptx export | core\'s `resolveSlideContext` | `src/index.js` |\n\nAptos is not openly licensed, so no OPF package bundles it. Previews take the same path for the last resort as for any `aptos` deck:\n\n- **Estimated layout** (no `fonts`): the SVG names `Aptos` and `Aptos Display`, and the default raster engine draws them with its bundled sans-serif fallback (Roboto).\n- **Measured layout** with the opf-render office font pack (`loadFonts({pack: \'office\'})`): `Aptos` and `Aptos Display` resolve to Intos and Intos Display, metric-compatible replacements from the OPF font policy (0.000% mean width difference against Aptos 2.01), and the substitution report lists both. With only the base pack and `substitutionPolicy: "visual"` they fall back to the visual alternates Roboto and Carlito. The PPTX always names Aptos. See [font-fidelity.md](font-fidelity.md#font-policy-ff-31).\n- **Measured layout with only the base pack under the metric policy**: `font-unavailable` for Aptos, as for a document with no `design`. Supply licensed Aptos faces, allow visual substitution, or set a `fallbackFamily`.\n\n`packages/javascript/test/font-scheme-defaults.test.mjs` checks the shared default in core pagination, and each sibling repository has a parity test.\n\n### References that resolve nowhere\n\nA layout, theme, colour scheme or font scheme reference that neither the document embeds nor a registered catalog defines falls back, and no engine throws for it (unless the host asks for a strict export, `strictReferences`, which throws `OPFUnresolvedReferenceError`):\n\n- **Layout.** A slide with no `layout` is composed with **no layout record**, and that is not a finding: title, subtitle, tag and content are arranged automatically, a slide with no body payload is a cover (the title block vertically centred) and the design hints apply. A layout reference that resolves nowhere composes the same way. An engine never substitutes a different layout.\n- **Theme.** A theme reference that resolves nowhere uses the engine default theme (`ENGINE_DEFAULT_THEME`: the background and dimensions of the gallery\'s `minimal`).\n- **Colour scheme.** A colour-scheme reference that resolves nowhere uses `ENGINE_DEFAULT_COLOR_SCHEME` (the twelve slots of `cool-horizon`). The theme\'s own colour scheme counts as the reference when the deck and slide name none, and resolves in the theme\'s catalog group first. An object without an `id` is laid over the engine default, so a partial inline scheme keeps the slots it does not name.\n- **Font scheme.** A font-scheme reference that resolves nowhere uses `ENGINE_DEFAULT_FONT_SCHEME`. Sibling fields on an object reference still override it per key, so `{ "id": "no-such-scheme", "major": "Inter", "minor": "Inter" }` uses Inter, and a `code` role still applies. An object without `id` is an inline scheme on the same base and reports nothing.\n\nEach is one `unresolved-reference` diagnostic: `{ code, kind, reference, path, group, source?, fallback, message }`, with `path` where the reference is written (`slides.N.layout`, `slides.N.design.theme`, `design.colorScheme`, `design.fontScheme.id`, or `catalogs.<group>.themes.<id>.colorScheme` for a reference inside an embedded theme), `fallback` `automatic` for a layout and `engine-default` otherwise, and a message that names the reference and the catalog source it was looked for in. `validate` reports the same references as `opf/unresolved-reference` warnings.\n\n`resolveSlideContext(presentation, index, { catalogs, fonts })` (package root) applies these rules with the slide, deck and theme precedence above. It returns the `ComposeSlideOptions` for one slide (canvas, layout, families as `fontFamilies`, measurement, `slideNumber`, `slideCount`), the slide to compose and draw (`slide`, with `{{slide.number}}`, `{{slide.section}}` and `{{deck.slideCount}}` substituted for those numbers), the diagnostics, and `darkBackground` (the preview\'s decision: the one colour the background names, resolved through the colour scheme and the deck\'s `variables` so `var:brand`, a scheme slot or `primary`/`secondary`/`accent` work, has a WCAG relative luminance below 0.179; a gradient counts as light, a picture reads `light1`, a pattern its `backgroundColor`; no opacity is applied), which `composeSlide` uses to pick logo variants. `resolveDesignRecords` and `resolveFontScheme` expose the same resolution for hosts that need only the records. Core pagination continues with the fallbacks and passes each diagnostic to `onDiagnostic`.\n\n| Engine | Diagnostic channel | Reported |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Core pagination | `paginate(..., { onDiagnostic })` | once per path per call |\n| opf-render preview | `renderSvg` / `renderSlideSvg` `onDiagnostic` | once per path per rendered slide |\n| opf-editor | `session.composeSlide` / `paginateSlide` `onDiagnostic` option | once per call |\n| opf-pptx export | `toPptx(..., { onDiagnostic })` | once per path per export |\n\nEvery engine passes the catalogs its host registered (the `catalogs` option) to core, so a record a host registers resolves the same in preview, editor and export.\n\n## Color references in content\n\nContent color fields (`TextRun.color`, styled table cell `style.fill` / `style.color`, table cell border `color`) accept references as well as literal hex, and those references resolve through the same chain above:\n\n```\n  "color": "accent2"          slot name  -> effective color scheme slot\n  "color": "text"             role name  -> role-to-slot mapping, then the slot\n  "color": "var:risk"         variable   -> top-level variables map\n  "color": "#B42318"          literal    -> used as-is (frozen at authoring time)\n```\n\n- **Slot names** (`accent1`\u2013`accent6`, `dark1`, `dark2`, `light1`, `light2`, `hyperlink`, `followedHyperlink`) read the named slot from the *effective* color scheme \u2014 the one produced by the slide \u2192 deck \u2192 theme \u2192 engine-default precedence at the top of this page. A slide-level `design.colorScheme` override therefore recolors that slide\'s named runs too.\n- **Role names** (`primary`, `secondary`, `accent`, `background`, `surface`, `text`, `textSecondary`) resolve through one shared definition, `resolveColorRoles()`, which the opf-render preview, the PPTX export and `validate` all call, so the same deck draws the same colors in each. A role defined on the effective scheme wins; otherwise it defaults from a slot:\n\n  | Role | Default |\n  | --- | --- |\n  | `primary`, `secondary`, `accent` | `accent1`, `accent2`, `accent3` |\n  | `background` | the slide\'s own resolved background when it is one color (solid, theme slot or pattern background color); else the scheme\'s `background` role, else `light1`. A gradient or picture background uses the scheme default. |\n  | `surface` | `light2`, or `dark2` on a dark slide |\n  | `text` | `dark1`, or `light1` on a dark slide. A `text` override applies on a light slide only, so a dark slide always keeps readable light text. |\n  | `textSecondary` | `dark2`, or `light2` on a dark slide |\n\n  A slide is dark when its background\'s WCAG relative luminance is under 0.179, the point where white and black text contrast equally.\n- **Links.** A link run (`link`) with no `color` of its own is drawn underlined in the scheme\'s `hyperlink` slot (the OOXML `hlink` color; Office blue `#0563C1` when the scheme sets none), in the preview and in the PPTX export (`a:schemeClr hlink` where the deck theme holds that color). Where that color has under 4.5:1 contrast against the slide background (the default Office blue on a dark slide), the slide\'s `text` color is used instead, as the slide tag does for a low-contrast primary color. A link run with its own `color` keeps it, and a `hyperlink` ColorRef always names the slot. `followedHyperlink` is written to the PPTX theme; a static preview cannot know which links were visited, so it draws every link in `hyperlink`.\n- **Variable references** (`var:<id>`) resolve against the document\'s top-level `variables` map, independent of the scheme. Variables are deck-scoped named colors \u2014 use them for values that have meaning (`var:risk`) or repeat across slides. An unknown id is a validation warning, never an error, and engines fall back to their default text color.\n\nThe styled table cell and border color fields enforce the reference forms at the schema level (a typo like `"acent2"` is a schema error there \u2014 neither hex, a known name, nor a `var:` reference). Run colors stay open strings so imported decks keep validating: an unrecognized run color is a validation warning, and renderers fall back to the theme text color \u2014 the same warn-don\'t-error posture unknown catalog ids get. Unknown `var:` ids are warnings everywhere.\n\n### Background colors are ColorRefs\n\nThe colors of a solid background (`SolidBackground.color`), of each gradient stop and of a pattern (`foregroundColor`, `backgroundColor`) take the same forms as the content fields above: a literal hex, a slot or role name, or a `var:<id>` reference. The schema keeps these fields as plain strings, so a reference validates; engines resolve it through `resolveColorRef()` against the effective color scheme and the deck `variables`, and a reference that resolves to nothing is drawn as the engine default (white for a background), as for any other unresolvable color. The default text color of the slide follows the resolved background. A PPTX export writes `a:schemeClr` where the deck theme holds the named slot or role exactly, and the resolved literal otherwise (FF-24 conventions).\n\n> **Decision, 2026-09-30 (agent decision, vetoable).** The spec coverage audit found that `SolidBackground.color` accepted `var:` and slot names (the field is a string) but both engines painted white, while [`content-item-design-overrides.md`](./content-item-design-overrides.md) already states that every color field must accept the ColorRef forms and never hex alone. Rather than tighten the schema (which would break documents that validate today), the engines resolve ColorRefs in backgrounds. The owner can veto this by restricting the three background color fields to `HexColor` in the schema and the engines to hex only.\n\n`@openpresentation/opf/composition` exports `resolveColorRef()` with the shared slot, role, variable, and hex rules above so renderers and exporters do not drift. Pass the effective color scheme, optional resolved role colors, the deck `variables` map, and a theme-text `fallback` for unrecognized references.\n\n## Script fonts and language\n\nOOXML gives each theme font (major and minor) three script slots: `latin`, East Asian (`ea`) and complex script (`cs`). The presentation `language` and the effective font scheme resolve to all three:\n\n```\n  latin          design font scheme heading/body (the chain above)\n  eastAsian      1. design.fontScheme.eastAsian      explicit slot\n  complexScript  2. the scheme\'s own major/minor     when languageFamily is ea / cs (or eastAsian /\n                                                     complexScript, the same values) and its\n                                                     languages list (language ids) is empty or\n                                                     names the language\n                 3. the language\'s font scheme       when the language\'s script uses the slot\n                 4. the latin family                 otherwise\n```\n\n- A language record\'s `script` (ISO 15924) picks its slot. East Asian scripts (`Jpan`, `Hans`, `Hant`, `Kore`, ...) use `eastAsian`. Complex scripts (`Arab`, `Hebr`, `Deva`, `Thai`, ...) use `complexScript`. Latin, Cyrillic, Greek and other scripts use `latin`. `direction` defaults from the script (Arabic and Hebrew are right-to-left).\n- The language\'s `fontScheme` applies to PowerPoint output and `googleFontScheme` to Google Slides output. For Latin-script languages, the design font scheme always supplies the latin slot.\n- A language sets `lang`, the text direction and the script slots, and never the Latin scheme: only `design.fontScheme` (slide, then deck, then theme, then the shared default `aptos`) sets the latin fonts, and a language record\'s `fontScheme` is a default for its own script slot, not a deck font. The PPTX theme\'s `a:ea` and `a:cs` are written only for a slot a script font is selected for (the scheme\'s explicit slot or the language\'s script font) and stay empty otherwise, as in Office\'s own themes. See [Language contract](./programs/font-fidelity-everywhere/script-font-model.md#language-contract-ff-50-model-c) and [Theme slots](./programs/font-fidelity-everywhere/script-font-model.md#theme-slots-ff-49).\n- A Latin deck therefore repeats its heading/body family in `ea`/`cs`. A Japanese deck with `design.fontScheme: { "major": "Carlito", "minor": "Carlito" }` keeps the Latin family in `latin` and uses Meiryo (PowerPoint) or Noto Sans JP (Google Slides) in `ea`. `design.fontScheme.eastAsian` / `.complexScript` (`{ "major": ..., "minor": ... }`) name a script font explicitly, for example for CJK text inside a Latin deck.\n\n`@openpresentation/opf/composition` exports `resolveScriptFonts(document, { app, slideIndex })` (`app` is `"powerpoint"`, the default, or `"google-slides"`), and the package root exports `normalizeLanguageFamily(value)` (which reads a font scheme\'s `languageFamily`, `eastAsian` as `ea` and `complexScript` as `cs`). `resolveScriptFonts` returns the heading and body slots, the OOXML `lang` (a curated `ooxmlLang` culture tag such as `ja-JP` or `ms-MY`, or an authored region tag), the canonical `bcp47` tag, `script`, `direction`/`rtl`, and the per-script supplemental theme font. Renderers and exporters should use it rather than re-deriving slots. The model, the OOXML mapping and the open questions are in [`programs/font-fidelity-everywhere/script-font-model.md`](./programs/font-fidelity-everywhere/script-font-model.md). opf-render and opf-pptx implement it (FF-07, FF-19, FF-49).\n\n## Brand assets and layout hints\n\nThe 2026-09-30 spec coverage audit found that `design.logo`, `organization.logo`, `speaker.photo`, `design.contentDirection`, `design.chartPrimary`, `design.listBullet` and `fontScheme.accent` validated, edited and round-tripped but changed nothing in any engine. This section states what they do now. Every rule below is implemented once, in `composeSlide()` and `resolveLogo()` of `@openpresentation/opf`, and consumed by the renderer and the exporter; the decisions marked **(vetoable)** are agent decisions the owner can overturn.\n\n### Layout records: `placeholders` and `design`\n\nA layout record (`opf-layout/v1`) holds what it contains in `placeholders` and how it is meant to look in `design`. The content kinds are one vocabulary: `title`, `subtitle`, `tag`, `text`, `list`, `image`, `video`, `chart`, `table`, `code`, `metric`, `quote` and `timeline`.\n\n- `layoutContent(record)` (exported from `@openpresentation/opf`) derives `{ kind, count, heading: { title, subtitle, tag } }` from the placeholders, counting the leaf regions of placeholder groups (FA-26; `layoutLeaves(record)` lists them in reading order). `kind` is the most frequent body placeholder kind (a tie goes to the first in placeholder order), or `title` when there is none; `count` is the number of body placeholders. Nothing derived is stored on the record.\n- `design` uses the keys and lowercase values of the deck\'s and a slide\'s `design`: `titleAlignment`, `contentAlignment`, `contentBox`, `contentDirection`, `chartPrimary`, `imageFit` and `listBullet`. An absent key means the layout has no opinion. `pnpm check:spec` verifies that the layout schema\'s `DesignHints` and `Design` agree.\n- **One merge, per key, the slide winning:** the slide\'s `design`, then the deck\'s `design`, then the slide\'s layout record `design`, then the engine default. This holds for `titleAlignment`, `contentAlignment`, `contentBox`, `contentDirection`, `chartPrimary`, `imageFit` and `listBullet`, so a slide overrides exactly what its layout sets, by the same name, and a layout value nobody overrides is honored without copying it anywhere. `resolveDesignHints({ slide, layout, presentation, slideIndex })` (exported from `@openpresentation/opf/composition`) is the one place that computes it; it also reports which level supplied each key. `composeSlide()` returns the result as `SlideComposition.design`, and the renderer, the PPTX exporter, pagination and `validate` take `titleAlignment`, `contentAlignment`, `contentBox` and `listBullet` from there instead of re-deriving them; every image item carries its resolved fit (the block\'s own, else the effective `imageFit`, else `cover`) in `item.image.fit`. A value the schema does not allow for its key is skipped, so the next level answers.\n- The layout\'s `composition.mode` still ranks above the design hint: `contentDirection` acts below it (see the decision below), and a layout\'s own `composition` columns and weights are overridden only by an effective `chartPrimary`.\n- A layout\'s `image` placeholder may carry `placement` (FA-22): the slide\'s n-th top-level image bleeds to that edge unless its block sets its own placement. A layout does not opt into a picture: any layout sits on any background ([images](image-treatments.md)).\n- Hosts no longer need to copy a layout\'s `design` into the deck or a slide. The pptx.gallery example builder and the editor\'s layout apply still do, which is harmless: a copied value is a deck or slide value and ranks above the record.\n- **Decision, 2026-10-06 (agent decision, vetoable).** On a cover, `tag` and `subtitle` follow `titleAlignment` unless the slide\'s own `design.contentAlignment` is set; a deck or layout `contentAlignment` does not split the heading group, exactly as a deck value did before.\n\n### Logo source and variant selection\n\n`resolveLogo(presentation, slide, { slot, onDark, slideIndex })` returns `{ source, path, variant, slot }` or `null`:\n\n```\n  source        1. slides[i].design.logo\n                2. design.logo\n                3. the primary organization\'s logo   role "primary", else the first\n                                                    organization; object or array\n  variant       a string or Asset object is the "default" variant\n                a LogoSet picks by slot and tone (below)\n  path          design.logo, design.logo.light, organization.2.logo,\n                slides.3.design.logo.icon, ...\n```\n\nAbsence inherits (there is no `false` for logos); a level that yields no usable asset falls through to the next. A LogoSet is searched in this order, same-tone variants first, neutral ones next, the opposite tone last:\n\n| Slot | On a dark background (`onDark: true`) | On a light background |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| `lockup` | light, default, stackedLight, stacked, wordmarkLight, wordmark, iconLight, icon, then dark, stackedDark, wordmarkDark, iconDark | dark, default, stackedDark, stacked, wordmarkDark, wordmark, iconDark, icon, then light, stackedLight, wordmarkLight, iconLight |\n| `icon` | iconLight, icon, then the dark lockup chain | iconDark, icon, then the light lockup chain |\n| `stacked` | stackedLight, stacked, then the dark lockup chain | stackedDark, stacked, then the light lockup chain |\n\nHosts pass their own background luminance test as `composeSlide(..., { darkBackground })`; core never inspects colors.\n\n### Where the logo is drawn (vetoable)\n\n1. **Cover and section slides.** A slide with no body payload on a heading-only layout (`title`, `title-subtitle`, `section-divider`, any layout whose placeholders are all headings or placed images, or no layout: the same rule that centers covers) draws the `lockup` logo at the top-left of the free area, inside the slide padding and below any header furniture. `composeSlide` returns it as `geometry.logo` (`{ box, slot: \'lockup\', path, source, variant, anchor: \'left\' }`): `x = area.left + padding`, `y` at the image-safe heading top, `height = 56` reference pixels at a 720-pixel short edge, `width = min(4 * height, free width)`. Headings start one gap below the box and the cover-centering rule centers the tag/title/subtitle group in the remaining span; the logo itself does not move. Consumers fit the image inside the box preserving its aspect ratio, anchored left and vertically centered (SVG `preserveAspectRatio="xMinYMid meet"`; PPTX computes the fitted size from the raster dimensions and places it at `box.x`). Nothing is drawn when no logo resolves. **Content slides never get an automatic logo** (vetoable: it would move every content area).\n2. **Headers and footers.** `HeaderFooterItem.logo: true` generates an image furniture part with `field: \'logo\'`, `generated: true`, `image: resolved.source`, `path: <zone>.logo` and `sourcePath: resolved.path`, from the `icon` slot, in the same box as a zone `image`: as wide as the icon\'s proportions make it at the band height (a square when core cannot read them), flush with the zone\'s left edge, centered, or flush with its right edge like the zone\'s text. Fields in a zone stack in the order logo, image, text, organization, socials, section, slide number, date. Without a logo the engine reports `unresolved-content` at `<zone>.logo` ("Generated logo needs design.logo or a primary organization logo.").\n3. **Picture bullets.** See `listBullet` below.\n4. `organization.logo` is therefore drawn wherever the deck logo is: it is the fallback source, never a separate placement.\n\n> **Decision, 2026-09-30 (agent decision, vetoable).** 84 of the 126 bundled example decks carry a `design.logo` or an `organization.logo`, so 81 cover slides gain a logo and their heading group moves down. The placement (top-left, 56 px, lockup) and the content-slide exclusion are the reference-engine defaults; a layout-driven logo slot is a separate design.\n\n### `speaker.photo` is a built-in image variable (vetoable)\n\nNo reference engine draws a speaker photo by itself: the schema has no speaker slot on any slide and no slide-to-speaker link, and a speaker block on covers would be a separate design. The author places it explicitly with the built-in image variable (`"image": "var:speaker.photo"`, see [templates and variables](templates-and-variables.md#built-in-variables)); the field also round-trips through PPTX provenance.\n\n### `contentDirection`\n\nThe effective value is `slides[i].design.contentDirection`, then `design.contentDirection`. It sets the root arrangement mode: `vertical` is `column`, `horizontal` is `row`. Precedence for the root mode:\n\n```\n  1. composition.mode                            explicit: the slide\'s own, else the\n                                                 layout record\'s geometry contract\n  2. design.contentDirection                     slide design, then deck design\n  3. the layout record\'s design.contentDirection the layout\'s own direction\n  4. auto\n```\n\nPromoted regions (`left`, `top:left`, ...) keep their explicit geometry: `contentDirection` does not reinterpret them. Nested groups keep their own `composition`. The decision record keeps `reason: \'configured-mode\'`. Reserved placeholder slots still count when only the hint sets the mode, as they do for the layout record\'s `design.contentDirection`.\n\n> **Decision, 2026-09-30 (agent decision, vetoable).** A layout record\'s `composition.mode` ranks above the design hint. pptx.gallery copies a layout record\'s `design.contentDirection` into the design of its examples, so a hint that overrode the layout\'s `composition.mode` would flatten the layout\'s own grid by construction: `chart-2x` (`design.contentDirection: horizontal`, `mode: grid, columns: 2`) would compose its four blocks as one row under the `horizontal` it derives for itself, and the renderer\'s gallery-layout fixtures (57 layouts whose preview must differ from the default only in alignment) fail. The hint therefore ranks with the layout record\'s `design.contentDirection`, above it, and acts where no composition contract exists: slides without a layout and the bundled layouts without `composition.mode` (62 of 100). Under this rule no bundled example slide changes geometry for `contentDirection` (101 decks set it; all of their blocks slides use layouts that carry a mode). The alternative, ranking the hint above the layout mode, would change 125 single-payload example slides and break the gallery\'s own layouts.\n\n### `titleAlignment` and `contentAlignment` in right-to-left decks\n\n> **Decision, 2026-10-01 (RR-05, supervisor decision, vetoable).** Alignment is logical for right-to-left text. In a deck whose language is written right to left, `left` means the start edge and `right` the end edge of each paragraph: an Arabic or Hebrew paragraph with the default (or authored) `left` is drawn against the right edge, with its bullets, indents and table cells to match, while an English paragraph in the same deck keeps the left edge. `center` is unchanged and a left-to-right deck is unchanged. The effective value (slide design, then deck design, then `left`) is still what `item.alignment` reports; `placement.lines[i].alignment` and the exported `algn` carry the physical edge. A right-to-left deck that wants a paragraph at its end edge sets `right`. See [Layout direction](programs/font-fidelity-everywhere/script-font-model.md#layout-direction-rr-05).\n\n### `chartPrimary`\n\nThe effective value is `slides[i].design.chartPrimary`, then `design.chartPrimary`, then the layout record\'s `design.chartPrimary`. It applies to the root arrangement only when the slide has no promoted regions, no `composition.mode` of its own, and its root nodes contain at least one chart leaf and at least one node that is not a chart. The **first chart node is primary** and the other root nodes form one synthetic sub-grid:\n\n- `left` / `right`: the root is a two-track row with weights `[3, 2]` (chart first for `left`, last for `right`); the rest arrange in `auto` mode inside their track.\n- `top` / `bottom`: a two-track column with weights `[3, 2]` (chart first for `top`).\n- `none`, or any other value: no change, the existing automatic grid with equal weight.\n\nIt is sugar for a placeholder group (FA-26): `chartPrimaryLayout(side, kinds)` (exported from `@openpresentation/opf/composition`) returns the layout record it stands for, a root row (`left`, `right`) or column (`top`, `bottom`) weighted 3:2 toward the chart that holds the chart region and one automatic group of the other root content, and composition fills exactly that record, except that the first chart fills the chart region wherever it sits in the slide. A record can state the same structure explicitly with a `PlaceholderGroup`; the gallery\'s `chart-3x-*` primary layouts do since FA-26 and no longer set `design.chartPrimary`. While it applies it also replaces the slide\'s layout record\'s own placeholder groups.\n\nThe synthetic container has no OPF path, so it records no `groups`, `flows` or explanation entry; the root decision has `reason: \'chart-primary\'` and `selectedColumns` 2 (row) or 1 (column). Explicit root `columns` and `weights`, from the slide or the layout record, are ignored while it applies, and reserved placeholder slots are not applied. A chart inside a nested group, a chart-only root, or a single root `chart` payload leaves the arrangement unchanged.\n\n> **Decision, 2026-09-30 (agent decision, vetoable).** Unlike `contentDirection`, `chartPrimary` overrides the layout record\'s `composition.mode`, `columns` and `weights` (only the slide\'s own `composition.mode` blocks it). It is an author opt-in: no bundled layout record sets `design.chartPrimary`, so nothing derives it, while every bundled chart layout that mixes a chart with text carries a `composition.mode` (`chart-2x` grid, `data-visualization` row `[2, 1]`, ...). Ranking the layout mode above the hint would make the field inert on every bundled chart layout. 40 example slides (10 per side) change under this rule.\n\n### `listBullet` (vetoable)\n\n`character` (the default) draws the current glyph marker. `image` draws the deck\'s icon logo (`resolveLogo(..., { slot: \'icon\', onDark })`) as a picture bullet: every `items`/`bullets` item in `composeSlide` and every `listEntries[]` entry of its fit carry `bulletImage: { source, path }`. Marker geometry is unchanged, and each entry carries `bulletBox`, where the image draws: a square of side `marker.fontSize * PICTURE_BULLET_SCALE` (0.65, exported) whose bottom sits on the marker baseline (`marker.y`) with its left edge at `marker.x`. The scale is what desktop PowerPoint draws for an `a:buBlip` at `a:buSzPct 100000` (what the exporter writes), measured as a square 10, 15, 16, 20 and 31 px wide at font sizes of 16, 24, 25, 32 and 48 px (0.625 to 0.646; the heights run a pixel more from anti-aliasing) with its bottom on the text baseline, in Arial, Aptos, Georgia and Courier New alike, so it does not depend on the typeface; the text start and hanging indent are identical in both. The exporter sets no size, because PowerPoint sizes the bullet itself; consumers that draw it themselves (the preview) use `bulletBox`. Vetoable: the constant is a measurement, not a rule of the format. When `image` is set and no logo resolves, the glyph stays and the slide reports one `unresolved-content` diagnostic at `slides.N.design.listBullet` or `design.listBullet`, only when the slide has a list. The renderer draws an `<image>` per marker; the exporter writes native picture bullets (`a:buBlip`).\n\n### `fontScheme.accent`\n\n`resolveFontFamilies()` returns `accent` only when the effective scheme defines an `accent` role (a family string or a `Font` object). The slide `tag` (eyebrow) and the quote body use `fonts.accent ?? <current family>` (body for the tag, heading for the quote body); nothing else changes. The renderer loads and embeds it, the exporter writes it on those runs (`a:latin`) while the theme fonts stay major/minor, and import keeps restoring `design.fontScheme` from provenance. None of the bundled examples sets an accent font.\n\n## What is *not* part of this chain\n\nBeyond the color references above, content payloads carry no design controls in v1 \u2014 `position`, `fontSize` overrides at payload level, and the like were deliberately kept out while the content model stabilizes (see [`content-item-design-overrides.md`](./content-item-design-overrides.md); styled table cells and rich-text runs carry the only per-content styling, and their color fields take the reference forms above). The design system, plus layout hints (`titleAlignment`, `contentBox`, `chartPrimary`, ...) and dynamic composition, is the styling surface of an OPF document.\n'
+    "markdown": '# Design Resolution\n\nHow an engine decides the effective design for any given slide. The schema spreads these rules across field descriptions; this page states them once, as an algorithm.\n\n## Precedence\n\nFor every design field independently, the most specific source wins:\n\n```\n  wins   +--------------------------------------------------------+\n    ^    | 1. slide design     slides[i].design.*                 |\n    |    +--------------------------------------------------------+\n    |    | 2. deck design      design.* on the presentation root  |\n    |    +--------------------------------------------------------+\n    |    | 3. resolved theme   colorScheme, fontScheme,            |\n    |    |                     background, dimensions from the     |\n    |    |                     theme record                        |\n    |    +--------------------------------------------------------+\n  loses  | 4. engine defaults  e.g. spec/reference/                |\n    v    |                     engine-defaults.json                |\n         +--------------------------------------------------------+\n```\n\n1. **Slide design** \u2014 `slides[].design.*`\n2. **Deck design** \u2014 `design.*` on the presentation root\n3. **Resolved theme** \u2014 defaults carried by the theme record (`colorScheme`, `fontScheme`, `background`, `dimensions`)\n4. **Engine defaults** \u2014 [`spec/reference/engine-defaults.json`](../spec/reference/engine-defaults.json), compiled into core as `ENGINE_DEFAULT_THEME`, `ENGINE_DEFAULT_COLOR_SCHEME` and `ENGINE_DEFAULT_FONT_SCHEME`\n\nResolution is **per field**, not per object. A slide that sets only `design.contentAlignment` inherits everything else from the deck design; a deck that sets only `design.colorScheme` keeps the theme\'s font scheme and background.\n\nTwo field-level rules complete the picture:\n\n- **Base-plus-overrides within one object.** Wherever a reference object carries an `id` (`ColorScheme`, `FontScheme`, and the inline `Audience`, `Purpose` and `Tone`), the `id` resolves a catalog record as the base and sibling fields override the resolved record per key. `design.theme` is a reference string only. The string shorthand (`"colorScheme": "cool-horizon"`) is equivalent to setting only `id`.\n\n  ```\n  "colorScheme": { "id": "cool-horizon", "accent1": "#0F4C81" }\n\n     catalog record "cool-horizon"        sibling fields on the object\n     accent1: "#2874A6"   <-- replaced -- accent1: "#0F4C81"\n     accent2: "#1B4F72"   <-- kept\n     light1:  "#FFFFFF"   <-- kept\n                  |\n                  v\n     effective scheme: accent1 from the override, everything else\n     from the record\n  ```\n- **Explicit suppression.** `watermark`, `header`, and `footer` accept `false` to switch off an inherited value \u2014 distinct from omitting the field, which inherits.\n\nEvery reference inside this chain resolves the one way every content reference does: `catalogs.custom`, then the records embedded under `catalogs.default`, then the catalog the host registered for its source (`name:id` in `catalogs.<name>`, then the host catalog for its source); see [`how-opf-works.md`](./how-opf-works.md) and [the catalogs page](default-catalog.md).\n\n## Worked example 1: color scheme through every level\n\n```json\n{\n  "design": {\n    "theme": "classic",\n    "colorScheme": "forest-green"\n  },\n  "slides": [\n    { "title": "Inherits the deck" },\n    {\n      "title": "Slide override",\n      "design": {\n        "colorScheme": { "id": "cool-horizon", "accent1": "#0F4C81" }\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}\n```\n\n- Slide 1: the `classic` theme record supplies its own default color scheme, but the deck design sets `colorScheme` explicitly, so `forest-green` wins (level 2 beats level 3). Fonts, background, and dimensions still come from `classic`.\n- Slide 2: slide design beats deck design (level 1 beats level 2). The `cool-horizon` record resolves as the base, then `accent1` is replaced by `#0F4C81`. All other `cool-horizon` slots survive.\n\nThere is no ambiguity between "override" and "reference": every scheme value *is* a reference, and any sibling fields on the same object are overrides applied after the reference resolves.\n\n## Worked example 2: backgrounds and suppression\n\n```json\n{\n  "design": {\n    "theme": "dark",\n    "background": "light1",\n    "footer": {\n      "left": { "text": "Acme Corp" },\n      "right": { "text": "{{slide.number}}" }\n    }\n  },\n  "slides": [\n    { "title": "Light slide in a dark theme" },\n    {\n      "title": "Section divider",\n      "design": {\n        "background": {\n          "type": "gradient",\n          "gradient": {\n            "angle": 90,\n            "stops": [\n              { "color": "#0B1B2B", "position": 0 },\n              { "color": "#123A5F", "position": 1 }\n            ]\n          }\n        },\n        "footer": false\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}\n```\n\n- Slide 1: the deck-level `background: "light1"` overrides the `dark` theme\'s default background. `light1` is a theme slot \u2014 it resolves through the effective color scheme, which itself resolved through the chain above.\n- Slide 2: the gradient replaces the deck background for this slide only, and `footer: false` suppresses the inherited footer rather than inheriting or replacing it.\n\n## Worked example 3: font scheme models\n\n```json\n{\n  "design": {\n    "fontScheme": {\n      "id": "aptos",\n      "code": "JetBrains Mono"\n    }\n  }\n}\n```\n\nThe `aptos` record supplies the OOXML pair (`major`/`minor`). The `code` role is an OPF-specific addition with no OOXML slot, so it layers on top without disturbing the pair. When serializing to PowerPoint, engines write `major`/`minor` to `majorFont`/`minorFont` and map abstract roles (`heading`, `body`) onto those slots. `accent` has no slot; the `code` family is written directly on code runs. The same slot-versus-role split applies to color schemes: OOXML slots (`accent1`\u2013`accent6`, `dark1/2`, `light1/2`) round-trip directly, abstract roles (`primary`, `text`, `surface`, \u2026) are mapped onto slots by the engine.\n\n### Code font\n\nThe `code` role resolves per key like every other override:\n\n1. `code` on the effective `design.fontScheme` object;\n2. `code` on the resolved font-scheme record (the `consolas` and `courier-new` records carry `"Consolas"` and `"Courier New"`);\n3. otherwise **Roboto Mono**, the documented fallback that `@openpresentation/opf-render` bundles.\n\nThe heading and body families are never reused as the code fallback, so choosing `aptos` still gives Roboto Mono code unless the deck sets `code`. `resolveFontFamilies()` in `@openpresentation/opf/composition` applies these rules for all engines.\n\n### Engine default font scheme\n\nThe last-resort font scheme applies only when neither the slide, the deck nor the resolved theme names one, or when the reference resolves nowhere. It is an engine default in code, not a catalog record: `ENGINE_DEFAULT_FONT_SCHEME` (`{ major: "Aptos Display", minor: "Aptos", languageFamily: "latin" }`, the drawing fields of the gallery\'s `aptos` scheme), recorded in [`engine-defaults.json`](../spec/reference/engine-defaults.json) and exported from the package root and `@openpresentation/opf/composition`. A document with no `design` uses the engine default theme (`ENGINE_DEFAULT_THEME`, which names no font scheme), so it gets Aptos in every engine without any catalog registered.\n\nEvery engine shares this one last resort, so a theme without `fontScheme` is measured, paginated, previewed and exported in the same fonts:\n\n| Engine | Last resort | Where |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Core pagination and validate | `ENGINE_DEFAULT_FONT_SCHEME` | `packages/javascript/src/design-records.ts` |\n| opf-render preview | core\'s `resolveSlideContext` | `src/svg.js` |\n| opf-editor composition and slide transfer | core\'s `resolveSlideContext` | `src/font-defaults.js` |\n| opf-pptx export | core\'s `resolveSlideContext` | `src/index.js` |\n\nAptos is not openly licensed, so no OPF package bundles it. Previews take the same path for the last resort as for any `aptos` deck:\n\n- **Estimated layout** (no `fonts`): the SVG names `Aptos` and `Aptos Display`, and the default raster engine draws them with its bundled sans-serif fallback (Roboto).\n- **Measured layout** with the opf-render office font pack (`loadFonts({pack: \'office\'})`): `Aptos` and `Aptos Display` resolve to Intos and Intos Display, metric-compatible replacements from the OPF font policy (0.000% mean width difference against Aptos 2.01), and the substitution report lists both. With only the base pack and `substitutionPolicy: "visual"` they fall back to the visual alternates Roboto and Carlito. The PPTX always names Aptos. See [font-fidelity.md](font-fidelity.md#font-policy-ff-31).\n- **Measured layout with only the base pack under the metric policy**: `font-unavailable` for Aptos, as for a document with no `design`. Supply licensed Aptos faces, allow visual substitution, or set a `fallbackFamily`.\n\n`packages/javascript/test/font-scheme-defaults.test.mjs` checks the shared default in core pagination, and each sibling repository has a parity test.\n\n### References that resolve nowhere\n\nA layout, theme, colour scheme or font scheme reference that neither the document embeds nor a registered catalog defines falls back, and no engine throws for it (unless the host asks for a strict export, `strictReferences`, which throws `OPFUnresolvedReferenceError`):\n\n- **Layout.** A slide with no `layout` is composed with **no layout record**, and that is not a finding: title, subtitle, tag and content are arranged automatically, a slide with no body payload is a cover (the title block vertically centred) and the design hints apply. A layout reference that resolves nowhere composes the same way. An engine never substitutes a different layout.\n- **Theme.** A theme reference that resolves nowhere uses the engine default theme (`ENGINE_DEFAULT_THEME`: the background and dimensions of the gallery\'s `minimal`).\n- **Colour scheme.** A colour-scheme reference that resolves nowhere uses `ENGINE_DEFAULT_COLOR_SCHEME` (the twelve slots of `cool-horizon`). The theme\'s own colour scheme counts as the reference when the deck and slide name none, and resolves in the theme\'s catalog group first. An object without an `id` is laid over the engine default, so a partial inline scheme keeps the slots it does not name.\n- **Font scheme.** A font-scheme reference that resolves nowhere uses `ENGINE_DEFAULT_FONT_SCHEME`. Sibling fields on an object reference still override it per key, so `{ "id": "no-such-scheme", "major": "Inter", "minor": "Inter" }` uses Inter, and a `code` role still applies. An object without `id` is an inline scheme on the same base and reports nothing.\n\nEach is one `unresolved-reference` diagnostic: `{ code, kind, reference, path, group, source?, fallback, message }`, with `path` where the reference is written (`slides.N.layout`, `slides.N.design.theme`, `design.colorScheme`, `design.fontScheme.id`, or `catalogs.<group>.themes.<id>.colorScheme` for a reference inside an embedded theme), `fallback` `automatic` for a layout and `engine-default` otherwise, and a message that names the reference and the catalog source it was looked for in. `validate` reports the same references as `opf/unresolved-reference` warnings.\n\n`resolveSlideContext(presentation, index, { catalogs, fonts })` (package root) applies these rules with the slide, deck and theme precedence above. It returns the `ComposeSlideOptions` for one slide (canvas, layout, families as `fontFamilies`, measurement, `slideNumber`, `slideCount`), the slide to compose and draw (`slide`, with `{{slide.number}}`, `{{slide.section}}` and `{{deck.slideCount}}` substituted for those numbers), the diagnostics, and `darkBackground` (the preview\'s decision: the one colour the background names, resolved through the colour scheme and the deck\'s `variables` so `var:brand`, a scheme slot or `primary`/`secondary`/`accent` work, has a WCAG relative luminance below 0.179; a gradient counts as light, a picture reads `light1`, a pattern its `backgroundColor`; no opacity is applied), which `composeSlide` uses to pick logo variants. `resolveDesignRecords` and `resolveFontScheme` expose the same resolution for hosts that need only the records. Core pagination continues with the fallbacks and passes each diagnostic to `onDiagnostic`.\n\n| Engine | Diagnostic channel | Reported |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Core pagination | `paginate(..., { onDiagnostic })` | once per path per call |\n| opf-render preview | `toSvg` `onDiagnostic` | once per path per rendered slide |\n| opf-editor | `session.composeSlide` / `paginateSlide` `onDiagnostic` option | once per call |\n| opf-pptx export | `toPptx(..., { onDiagnostic })` | once per path per export |\n\nEvery engine passes the catalogs its host registered (the `catalogs` option) to core, so a record a host registers resolves the same in preview, editor and export.\n\n## Color references in content\n\nContent color fields (`TextRun.color`, styled table cell `style.fill` / `style.color`, table cell border `color`) accept references as well as literal hex, and those references resolve through the same chain above:\n\n```\n  "color": "accent2"          slot name  -> effective color scheme slot\n  "color": "text"             role name  -> role-to-slot mapping, then the slot\n  "color": "var:risk"         variable   -> top-level variables map\n  "color": "#B42318"          literal    -> used as-is (frozen at authoring time)\n```\n\n- **Slot names** (`accent1`\u2013`accent6`, `dark1`, `dark2`, `light1`, `light2`, `hyperlink`, `followedHyperlink`) read the named slot from the *effective* color scheme \u2014 the one produced by the slide \u2192 deck \u2192 theme \u2192 engine-default precedence at the top of this page. A slide-level `design.colorScheme` override therefore recolors that slide\'s named runs too.\n- **Role names** (`primary`, `secondary`, `accent`, `background`, `surface`, `text`, `textSecondary`) resolve through one shared definition, `resolveColorRoles()`, which the opf-render preview, the PPTX export and `validate` all call, so the same deck draws the same colors in each. A role defined on the effective scheme wins; otherwise it defaults from a slot:\n\n  | Role | Default |\n  | --- | --- |\n  | `primary`, `secondary`, `accent` | `accent1`, `accent2`, `accent3` |\n  | `background` | the slide\'s own resolved background when it is one color (solid, theme slot or pattern background color); else the scheme\'s `background` role, else `light1`. A gradient or picture background uses the scheme default. |\n  | `surface` | `light2`, or `dark2` on a dark slide |\n  | `text` | `dark1`, or `light1` on a dark slide. A `text` override applies on a light slide only, so a dark slide always keeps readable light text. |\n  | `textSecondary` | `dark2`, or `light2` on a dark slide |\n\n  A slide is dark when its background\'s WCAG relative luminance is under 0.179, the point where white and black text contrast equally.\n- **Links.** A link run (`link`) with no `color` of its own is drawn underlined in the scheme\'s `hyperlink` slot (the OOXML `hlink` color; Office blue `#0563C1` when the scheme sets none), in the preview and in the PPTX export (`a:schemeClr hlink` where the deck theme holds that color). Where that color has under 4.5:1 contrast against the slide background (the default Office blue on a dark slide), the slide\'s `text` color is used instead, as the slide tag does for a low-contrast primary color. A link run with its own `color` keeps it, and a `hyperlink` ColorRef always names the slot. `followedHyperlink` is written to the PPTX theme; a static preview cannot know which links were visited, so it draws every link in `hyperlink`.\n- **Variable references** (`var:<id>`) resolve against the document\'s top-level `variables` map, independent of the scheme. Variables are deck-scoped named colors \u2014 use them for values that have meaning (`var:risk`) or repeat across slides. An unknown id is a validation warning, never an error, and engines fall back to their default text color.\n\nThe styled table cell and border color fields enforce the reference forms at the schema level (a typo like `"acent2"` is a schema error there \u2014 neither hex, a known name, nor a `var:` reference). Run colors stay open strings so imported decks keep validating: an unrecognized run color is a validation warning, and renderers fall back to the theme text color \u2014 the same warn-don\'t-error posture unknown catalog ids get. Unknown `var:` ids are warnings everywhere.\n\n### Background colors are ColorRefs\n\nThe colors of a solid background (`SolidBackground.color`), of each gradient stop and of a pattern (`foregroundColor`, `backgroundColor`) take the same forms as the content fields above: a literal hex, a slot or role name, or a `var:<id>` reference. The schema keeps these fields as plain strings, so a reference validates; engines resolve it through `resolveColorRef()` against the effective color scheme and the deck `variables`, and a reference that resolves to nothing is drawn as the engine default (white for a background), as for any other unresolvable color. The default text color of the slide follows the resolved background. A PPTX export writes `a:schemeClr` where the deck theme holds the named slot or role exactly, and the resolved literal otherwise (FF-24 conventions).\n\n> **Decision, 2026-09-30 (agent decision, vetoable).** The spec coverage audit found that `SolidBackground.color` accepted `var:` and slot names (the field is a string) but both engines painted white, while [`content-item-design-overrides.md`](./content-item-design-overrides.md) already states that every color field must accept the ColorRef forms and never hex alone. Rather than tighten the schema (which would break documents that validate today), the engines resolve ColorRefs in backgrounds. The owner can veto this by restricting the three background color fields to `HexColor` in the schema and the engines to hex only.\n\n`@openpresentation/opf/composition` exports `resolveColorRef()` with the shared slot, role, variable, and hex rules above so renderers and exporters do not drift. Pass the effective color scheme, optional resolved role colors, the deck `variables` map, and a theme-text `fallback` for unrecognized references.\n\n## Script fonts and language\n\nOOXML gives each theme font (major and minor) three script slots: `latin`, East Asian (`ea`) and complex script (`cs`). The presentation `language` and the effective font scheme resolve to all three:\n\n```\n  latin          design font scheme heading/body (the chain above)\n  eastAsian      1. design.fontScheme.eastAsian      explicit slot\n  complexScript  2. the scheme\'s own major/minor     when languageFamily is ea / cs (or eastAsian /\n                                                     complexScript, the same values) and its\n                                                     languages list (language ids) is empty or\n                                                     names the language\n                 3. the language\'s font scheme       when the language\'s script uses the slot\n                 4. the latin family                 otherwise\n```\n\n- A language record\'s `script` (ISO 15924) picks its slot. East Asian scripts (`Jpan`, `Hans`, `Hant`, `Kore`, ...) use `eastAsian`. Complex scripts (`Arab`, `Hebr`, `Deva`, `Thai`, ...) use `complexScript`. Latin, Cyrillic, Greek and other scripts use `latin`. `direction` defaults from the script (Arabic and Hebrew are right-to-left).\n- The language\'s `fontScheme` applies to PowerPoint output and `googleFontScheme` to Google Slides output. For Latin-script languages, the design font scheme always supplies the latin slot.\n- A language sets `lang`, the text direction and the script slots, and never the Latin scheme: only `design.fontScheme` (slide, then deck, then theme, then the shared default `aptos`) sets the latin fonts, and a language record\'s `fontScheme` is a default for its own script slot, not a deck font. The PPTX theme\'s `a:ea` and `a:cs` are written only for a slot a script font is selected for (the scheme\'s explicit slot or the language\'s script font) and stay empty otherwise, as in Office\'s own themes. See [Language contract](./programs/font-fidelity-everywhere/script-font-model.md#language-contract-ff-50-model-c) and [Theme slots](./programs/font-fidelity-everywhere/script-font-model.md#theme-slots-ff-49).\n- A Latin deck therefore repeats its heading/body family in `ea`/`cs`. A Japanese deck with `design.fontScheme: { "major": "Carlito", "minor": "Carlito" }` keeps the Latin family in `latin` and uses Meiryo (PowerPoint) or Noto Sans JP (Google Slides) in `ea`. `design.fontScheme.eastAsian` / `.complexScript` (`{ "major": ..., "minor": ... }`) name a script font explicitly, for example for CJK text inside a Latin deck.\n\n`@openpresentation/opf/composition` exports `resolveScriptFonts(document, { app, slideIndex })` (`app` is `"powerpoint"`, the default, or `"google-slides"`), and the package root exports `normalizeLanguageFamily(value)` (which reads a font scheme\'s `languageFamily`, `eastAsian` as `ea` and `complexScript` as `cs`). `resolveScriptFonts` returns the heading and body slots, the OOXML `lang` (a curated `ooxmlLang` culture tag such as `ja-JP` or `ms-MY`, or an authored region tag), the canonical `bcp47` tag, `script`, `direction`/`rtl`, and the per-script supplemental theme font. Renderers and exporters should use it rather than re-deriving slots. The model, the OOXML mapping and the open questions are in [`programs/font-fidelity-everywhere/script-font-model.md`](./programs/font-fidelity-everywhere/script-font-model.md). opf-render and opf-pptx implement it (FF-07, FF-19, FF-49).\n\n## Brand assets and layout hints\n\nThe 2026-09-30 spec coverage audit found that the deck logo, `organization.logo`, `speaker.photo`, `design.contentDirection`, `design.chartPrimary`, `design.listBullet` and `fontScheme.accent` validated, edited and round-tripped but changed nothing in any engine. This section states what they do now. Every rule below is implemented once, in `composeSlide()` and `resolveLogo()` of `@openpresentation/opf`, and consumed by the renderer and the exporter; the decisions marked **(vetoable)** are agent decisions the owner can overturn.\n\n### Layout records: `placeholders` and `design`\n\nA layout record (`opf-layout/v1`) holds what it contains in `placeholders` and how it is meant to look in `design`. The content kinds are one vocabulary: `title`, `subtitle`, `tag`, `text`, `list`, `image`, `video`, `chart`, `table`, `code`, `metric`, `quote` and `timeline`.\n\n- `layoutContent(record)` (exported from `@openpresentation/opf`) derives `{ kind, count, heading: { title, subtitle, tag } }` from the placeholders, counting the leaf regions of placeholder groups (FA-26; `layoutLeaves(record)` lists them in reading order). `kind` is the most frequent body placeholder kind (a tie goes to the first in placeholder order), or `title` when there is none; `count` is the number of body placeholders. Nothing derived is stored on the record.\n- `design` uses the keys and lowercase values of the deck\'s and a slide\'s `design`: `titleAlignment`, `contentAlignment`, `contentBox`, `contentDirection`, `chartPrimary`, `imageFit` and `listBullet`. An absent key means the layout has no opinion. `pnpm check:spec` verifies that the layout schema\'s `DesignHints` and `Design` agree.\n- **One merge, per key, the slide winning:** the slide\'s `design`, then the deck\'s `design`, then the slide\'s layout record `design`, then the engine default. This holds for `titleAlignment`, `contentAlignment`, `contentBox`, `contentDirection`, `chartPrimary`, `imageFit` and `listBullet`, so a slide overrides exactly what its layout sets, by the same name, and a layout value nobody overrides is honored without copying it anywhere. `resolveDesignHints({ slide, layout, presentation, slideIndex })` (exported from `@openpresentation/opf/composition`) is the one place that computes it; it also reports which level supplied each key. `composeSlide()` returns the result as `SlideComposition.design`, and the renderer, the PPTX exporter, pagination and `validate` take `titleAlignment`, `contentAlignment`, `contentBox` and `listBullet` from there instead of re-deriving them; every image item carries its resolved fit (the block\'s own, else the effective `imageFit`, else `cover`) in `item.image.fit`. A value the schema does not allow for its key is skipped, so the next level answers.\n- The layout\'s `composition.mode` still ranks above the design hint: `contentDirection` acts below it (see the decision below), and a layout\'s own `composition` columns and weights are overridden only by an effective `chartPrimary`.\n- A layout\'s `image` placeholder may carry `placement` (FA-22): the slide\'s n-th top-level image bleeds to that edge unless its block sets its own placement. A layout does not opt into a picture: any layout sits on any background ([images](image-treatments.md)).\n- Hosts no longer need to copy a layout\'s `design` into the deck or a slide. The pptx.gallery example builder and the editor\'s layout apply still do, which is harmless: a copied value is a deck or slide value and ranks above the record.\n- **Decision, 2026-10-06 (agent decision, vetoable).** On a cover, `tag` and `subtitle` follow `titleAlignment` unless the slide\'s own `design.contentAlignment` is set; a deck or layout `contentAlignment` does not split the heading group, exactly as a deck value did before.\n\n### Logos live on the organization (RR-71, OPF 0.18)\n\nA logo belongs to an organization. `Organization.logo` is one path or Asset for every shape, or up to four shapes:\n\n```json\n"organization": {\n  "id": "acme", "name": "Acme",\n  "logo": {\n    "full": { "onLight": "./assets/acme-logo.svg", "onDark": "./assets/acme-logo-white.svg" },\n    "icon": "./assets/acme-mark.svg"\n  }\n}\n```\n\n`resolveLogo(presentation, slide, { shape, onDark, slideIndex, reference })` (`@openpresentation/opf/composition`) returns `{ source, path, shape, variant, reference, designPath? }` or `null`:\n\n```\n  organization  1. options.reference                  var:organization.beta.logo.icon\n                2. slides[i].design.logo, then design.logo:\n                   false draws no logo; a reference picks the organization\n                   (and the shape, when it names one)\n                3. the primary organization            role "primary", else the first\n  shape         the reference\'s shape, else options.shape (default full)\n                missing shape -> full -> first of wordmark, stacked, icon\n  variant       onDark on a dark background, else onLight; a missing one uses\n                the other; a plain asset is "default"\n  path          organization.logo, organization.1.logo.icon,\n                organization.logo.full.onDark, ...\n```\n\nAn override that names an organization without a logo draws nothing: it never falls back to another organization. Hosts pass their own background luminance test as `composeSlide(..., { darkBackground })` (`resolveSlideContext` computes it); core never inspects colors.\n\nThe same logos are placed anywhere through slide-scoped built-in references (`var:organization.logo`, `var:organization.logo.icon`, `var:organization.beta.logo.wordmark`), which resolve for each slide\'s background: see [templates and variables](templates-and-variables.md#organization-logos).\n\n### Where the logo is drawn (vetoable)\n\n1. **Cover and section slides.** A slide with no body payload on a heading-only layout (`title`, `title-subtitle`, `section-divider`, any layout whose placeholders are all headings or placed images, or no layout: the same rule that centers covers) draws the primary organization\'s `full` logo (or the `design.logo` override) at the top-left of the free area, inside the slide padding and below any header furniture. `composeSlide` returns it as `geometry.logo` (`{ box, shape, path, source, variant, reference, anchor: \'left\' }`): `x = area.left + padding`, `y` at the image-safe heading top, `height = 56` reference pixels at a 720-pixel short edge, `width = min(4 * height, free width)`. Headings start one gap below the box and the cover-centering rule centers the tag/title/subtitle group in the remaining span; the logo itself does not move. Consumers fit the image inside the box preserving its aspect ratio, anchored left and vertically centered (SVG `preserveAspectRatio="xMinYMid meet"`; PPTX computes the fitted size from the raster dimensions and places it at `box.x`). Nothing is drawn when no logo resolves or `design.logo` is `false`. **Content slides never get an automatic logo** (vetoable: it would move every content area).\n2. **Headers and footers.** A zone places a logo like any picture: `"image": "var:organization.logo.icon"`. `layoutFurniture` resolves the reference for the slide\'s background; the image part carries the asset in `image`, the organization path in `sourcePath` and the reference in `reference`. Without a logo the engine reports `unresolved-content` at `<zone>.image`. The zone\'s parts sit in one row (see [dynamic composition](dynamic-composition.md)).\n3. **Picture bullets.** See `listBullet` below: the `icon` shape.\n\n> **Decision, 2026-09-30 (agent decision, vetoable).** 84 of the 126 bundled example decks carry a logo, so 81 cover slides gain a logo and their heading group moves down. The placement (top-left, 56 px, full logo) and the content-slide exclusion are the reference-engine defaults; a layout-driven logo slot is a separate design.\n\n### `speaker.photo` is a built-in image variable (vetoable)\n\nNo reference engine draws a speaker photo by itself: the schema has no speaker slot on any slide and no slide-to-speaker link, and a speaker block on covers would be a separate design. The author places it explicitly with the built-in image variable (`"image": "var:speaker.photo"`, see [templates and variables](templates-and-variables.md#built-in-variables)); the field also round-trips through PPTX provenance.\n\n### `contentDirection`\n\nThe effective value is `slides[i].design.contentDirection`, then `design.contentDirection`. It sets the root arrangement mode: `vertical` is `column`, `horizontal` is `row`. Precedence for the root mode:\n\n```\n  1. composition.mode                            explicit: the slide\'s own, else the\n                                                 layout record\'s geometry contract\n  2. design.contentDirection                     slide design, then deck design\n  3. the layout record\'s design.contentDirection the layout\'s own direction\n  4. auto\n```\n\nPromoted regions (`left`, `top:left`, ...) keep their explicit geometry: `contentDirection` does not reinterpret them. Nested groups keep their own `composition`. The decision record keeps `reason: \'configured-mode\'`. Reserved placeholder slots still count when only the hint sets the mode, as they do for the layout record\'s `design.contentDirection`.\n\n> **Decision, 2026-09-30 (agent decision, vetoable).** A layout record\'s `composition.mode` ranks above the design hint. pptx.gallery copies a layout record\'s `design.contentDirection` into the design of its examples, so a hint that overrode the layout\'s `composition.mode` would flatten the layout\'s own grid by construction: `chart-2x` (`design.contentDirection: horizontal`, `mode: grid, columns: 2`) would compose its four blocks as one row under the `horizontal` it derives for itself, and the renderer\'s gallery-layout fixtures (57 layouts whose preview must differ from the default only in alignment) fail. The hint therefore ranks with the layout record\'s `design.contentDirection`, above it, and acts where no composition contract exists: slides without a layout and the bundled layouts without `composition.mode` (62 of 100). Under this rule no bundled example slide changes geometry for `contentDirection` (101 decks set it; all of their blocks slides use layouts that carry a mode). The alternative, ranking the hint above the layout mode, would change 125 single-payload example slides and break the gallery\'s own layouts.\n\n### `titleAlignment` and `contentAlignment` in right-to-left decks\n\n> **Decision, 2026-10-01 (RR-05, supervisor decision, vetoable).** Alignment is logical for right-to-left text. In a deck whose language is written right to left, `left` means the start edge and `right` the end edge of each paragraph: an Arabic or Hebrew paragraph with the default (or authored) `left` is drawn against the right edge, with its bullets, indents and table cells to match, while an English paragraph in the same deck keeps the left edge. `center` is unchanged and a left-to-right deck is unchanged. The effective value (slide design, then deck design, then `left`) is still what `item.alignment` reports; `placement.lines[i].alignment` and the exported `algn` carry the physical edge. A right-to-left deck that wants a paragraph at its end edge sets `right`. See [Layout direction](programs/font-fidelity-everywhere/script-font-model.md#layout-direction-rr-05).\n\n### `chartPrimary`\n\nThe effective value is `slides[i].design.chartPrimary`, then `design.chartPrimary`, then the layout record\'s `design.chartPrimary`. It applies to the root arrangement only when the slide has no promoted regions, no `composition.mode` of its own, and its root nodes contain at least one chart leaf and at least one node that is not a chart. The **first chart node is primary** and the other root nodes form one synthetic sub-grid:\n\n- `left` / `right`: the root is a two-track row with weights `[3, 2]` (chart first for `left`, last for `right`); the rest arrange in `auto` mode inside their track.\n- `top` / `bottom`: a two-track column with weights `[3, 2]` (chart first for `top`).\n- `none`, or any other value: no change, the existing automatic grid with equal weight.\n\nIt is sugar for a placeholder group (FA-26): `chartPrimaryLayout(side, kinds)` (exported from `@openpresentation/opf/composition`) returns the layout record it stands for, a root row (`left`, `right`) or column (`top`, `bottom`) weighted 3:2 toward the chart that holds the chart region and one automatic group of the other root content, and composition fills exactly that record, except that the first chart fills the chart region wherever it sits in the slide. A record can state the same structure explicitly with a `PlaceholderGroup`; the gallery\'s `chart-3x-*` primary layouts do since FA-26 and no longer set `design.chartPrimary`. While it applies it also replaces the slide\'s layout record\'s own placeholder groups.\n\nThe synthetic container has no OPF path, so it records no `groups`, `flows` or explanation entry; the root decision has `reason: \'chart-primary\'` and `selectedColumns` 2 (row) or 1 (column). Explicit root `columns` and `weights`, from the slide or the layout record, are ignored while it applies, and reserved placeholder slots are not applied. A chart inside a nested group, a chart-only root, or a single root `chart` payload leaves the arrangement unchanged.\n\n> **Decision, 2026-09-30 (agent decision, vetoable).** Unlike `contentDirection`, `chartPrimary` overrides the layout record\'s `composition.mode`, `columns` and `weights` (only the slide\'s own `composition.mode` blocks it). It is an author opt-in: no bundled layout record sets `design.chartPrimary`, so nothing derives it, while every bundled chart layout that mixes a chart with text carries a `composition.mode` (`chart-2x` grid, `data-visualization` row `[2, 1]`, ...). Ranking the layout mode above the hint would make the field inert on every bundled chart layout. 40 example slides (10 per side) change under this rule.\n\n### `listBullet` (vetoable)\n\n`character` (the default) draws the current glyph marker. `image` draws the organization\'s icon logo (`resolveLogo(..., { shape: \'icon\', onDark })`: the primary organization\'s, or the organization and shape `design.logo` names) as a picture bullet: every `items`/`bullets` item in `composeSlide` and every `listEntries[]` entry of its fit carry `bulletImage: { source, path }`. Marker geometry is unchanged, and each entry carries `bulletBox`, where the image draws: a square of side `marker.fontSize * PICTURE_BULLET_SCALE` (0.65, exported) whose bottom sits on the marker baseline (`marker.y`) with its left edge at `marker.x`. The scale is what desktop PowerPoint draws for an `a:buBlip` at `a:buSzPct 100000` (what the exporter writes), measured as a square 10, 15, 16, 20 and 31 px wide at font sizes of 16, 24, 25, 32 and 48 px (0.625 to 0.646; the heights run a pixel more from anti-aliasing) with its bottom on the text baseline, in Arial, Aptos, Georgia and Courier New alike, so it does not depend on the typeface; the text start and hanging indent are identical in both. The exporter sets no size, because PowerPoint sizes the bullet itself; consumers that draw it themselves (the preview) use `bulletBox`. Vetoable: the constant is a measurement, not a rule of the format. When `image` is set and no logo resolves, the glyph stays and the slide reports one `unresolved-content` diagnostic at `slides.N.design.listBullet` or `design.listBullet`, only when the slide has a list. The renderer draws an `<image>` per marker; the exporter writes native picture bullets (`a:buBlip`).\n\n### `fontScheme.accent`\n\n`resolveFontFamilies()` returns `accent` only when the effective scheme defines an `accent` role (a family string or a `Font` object). The slide `tag` (eyebrow) and the quote body use `fonts.accent ?? <current family>` (body for the tag, heading for the quote body); nothing else changes. The renderer loads and embeds it, the exporter writes it on those runs (`a:latin`) while the theme fonts stay major/minor, and import keeps restoring `design.fontScheme` from provenance. None of the bundled examples sets an accent font.\n\n## What is *not* part of this chain\n\nBeyond the color references above, content payloads carry no design controls in v1 \u2014 `position`, `fontSize` overrides at payload level, and the like were deliberately kept out while the content model stabilizes (see [`content-item-design-overrides.md`](./content-item-design-overrides.md); styled table cells and rich-text runs carry the only per-content styling, and their color fields take the reference forms above). The design system, plus layout hints (`titleAlignment`, `contentBox`, `chartPrimary`, ...) and dynamic composition, is the styling surface of an OPF document.\n'

Older version references below identify when individual contracts were introduced.\n\n```json\n{\n  "name": "Decision brief",\n  "slides": [{\n    "title": "Make the main idea clear",\n    "composition": { "mode": "row", "weights": [2, 1], "overflow": "error" },\n    "blocks": [\n      { "text": "The evidence and recommendation receive twice the width." },\n      { "text": "The supporting detail receives the remaining width." }\n    ]\n  }]\n}\n```\n\n`auto` evaluates candidate grids using text fit and cell proportions. `columns` limits its candidates. `grid` uses `columns` if given, otherwise a grid based on the canvas shape. `row` uses one row; `column` uses one column. Items retain source order. Weights size columns except in column mode, where they size rows. Missing weights are 1; unused weights have no effect. A partially filled final row retains its grid tracks.\n\n`gap` defaults to 1/30 and `padding` to 0.08, both fractions of the canvas\'s shorter edge. Large gaps are reduced when necessary to keep cells positive. `minFontSize` defaults to 16 reference pixels at a 720-pixel short edge. The reference coordinate system uses 96 pixels per inch. Explicit inch dimensions override presets independently for each axis.\n\nComposed font sizes lie on PowerPoint\'s 0.01 pt grid (RR-16). PowerPoint stores a run size (`sz`) in hundredths of a point and a point is 4/3 reference pixels, so every size a fit accepts is a whole multiple of 1/75 px (`FONT_SIZE_GRID_PER_PX`), and the preview draws exactly the size the export writes. Fitting evaluates each trial size on the grid before breaking lines and placing text: trial sizes stay anchored to the unsnapped request (no drift) and round down (`snapFontSizeDown`), so a size that fit before snapping still fits; a readability floor rounds up (`snapFontSizeUp`), so `minFontSize` is never undercut; and a result that reports no overflow was measured at the size it carries. The rule covers plain, rich, list (marker, description and picture-bullet side), table, quote, code, metric, timeline, furniture and heading text, including each rich run and script. `wrapText` measures at exactly the size it is given.\n\nHeadings reserve space according to their wrapped text. Title and subtitle share the padded width of the free area, and a missing tag or subtitle leaves no gap.\n\nCover slides vertically center the combined tag/title/subtitle group in the free heading area. A cover is a slide with no body payload (no root content field, where a root `image` counts unless the layout places it, no `blocks` other than placed images, no promoted regions; empty payloads such as `blocks: []`, `text: ""`, empty lists and regions with nothing in them count as no body; whitespace-only text is still body) on a heading-only layout: a layout record whose placeholders are all headings or placed images (an `image` placeholder with a `placement`), or a slide with no layout record at all. The rule reads the record, never its id. The free area is the slide minus the bands of placed images, header and footer furniture, and the usual padding; a picture background reserves nothing. A wrapped heading makes the group taller and the group recenters. A group that already fills the free area is not moved. Accepted line and outline origins move with the boxes. Explicit heading `alignment` positions ink inside the box and never changes the vertical position. A flowed image is body, so image slides keep the top-aligned content origin; a placed image is not. Content slides are not affected: headings stay at the top and the body follows them. This is a reference-engine default, not a schema field.\n\nContent that exceeds the number of preset placeholders reflows together; it is not drawn over already-bound content.\n\n### Placeholder groups in layout records (FA-26)\n\nA layout record\'s placeholder may be a group: `{ "type": "group", "composition": { \u2026 }, "placeholders": [ \u2026 ] }`. The group arranges its own regions inside one cell of the record\'s composition, with the semantics of a content group: its `composition` is the same `Composition` object, only `minFontSize` and `overflow` inherit from the enclosing level, `padding` defaults to 0 and `gap` is a fraction of the group\'s short edge. Groups hold body regions and groups only (the headings stay at the record\'s top level, and only a top-level image placeholder carries a `placement`), and they nest at most three levels inside a record (`MAX_PLACEHOLDER_GROUP_DEPTH`); the schema rejects a fourth level, `validate` reports it as `opf/layout-placeholder-group`, and `composeSlide` refuses it.\n\n```json\n{ "name": "Stacked text, chart right", "composition": { "mode": "row", "weights": [2, 3] },\n  "placeholders": [{ "type": "title" },\n    { "type": "group", "composition": { "mode": "column" }, "placeholders": [{ "type": "text" }, { "type": "text" }] },\n    { "type": "chart" }] }\n```\n\nSlide content stays flat. Its root nodes (the `blocks`, or the root payloads) fill the record\'s leaf regions in reading order, depth first and in array order (`layoutLeaves(record)`), the way they fill a flat record\'s placeholders: kinds are what pickers match on (`layoutContent` counts leaves), composition does not reorder content to match them. Content beyond the last leaf flows at the root after the record\'s entries. An unfilled region keeps its cell only where its container sets no `mode`, as a flat record\'s top-level placeholders do. A slide\'s own `composition` overrides the record\'s root composition per key and leaves the groups\' own compositions alone; a slide that brings its own content groups, or uses promoted regions, keeps its own structure (the record\'s root composition and slot count still apply). Record groups draw nothing and have no slide path, so they record no `groups`, `flows` or explanation entries; instead `geometry.slots` lists every body placeholder of the record (`path` such as `layout.placeholders.1.placeholders.0`, `type`, `depth`, its cell `box`, and the `content` path that fills it), empty regions and groups included, for editors that show slots. `layoutStructure(record)` summarizes a record for pickers (`title, column (text, text), chart`). Pagination composes each page through the same groups, applying its readability floor to a group\'s own `minFontSize`. Promoted regions keep the 3\xD73 vocabulary, including standalone `top`, `middle`, and `bottom`. They ignore flow direction and track weights. They are composed in visual reading order (rows from top to bottom, then along the row; `visualReadingOrder`), not in key order, so the composed item order, the preview\'s draw order, the PPTX shape order and the reading order of assistive technology agree. The order is computed from the logical region cells, so a right-to-left deck reads the same logical order.\n\nEvery shared `design` key resolves with one merge, per key: the slide\'s `design`, then the deck\'s `design`, then the slide\'s layout record `design`, then the engine default (`resolveDesignHints`; the result is `SlideComposition.design`). Two design hints shape the root arrangement. `design.contentDirection` (slide design, deck design, then the layout record\'s own) sets the root mode, `vertical` as `column` and `horizontal` as `row`, when neither the slide nor its layout record sets a `composition.mode`; it ranks with the layout record\'s `design.contentDirection`, above automatic selection, regions and nested groups are untouched, and the decision keeps `reason: \'configured-mode\'`. `design.chartPrimary` (slide, deck, then the layout record\'s `design.chartPrimary`) is sugar for a placeholder group (`chartPrimaryLayout(side, kinds)` returns the record it stands for, and composition fills that record\'s group); it applies when the slide sets no `composition.mode` of its own and the root nodes mix at least one chart with other content: the first chart becomes a primary track and the other nodes form one synthetic sub-grid arranged in `auto` mode, a two-track row for `left`/`right` or column for `top`/`bottom`, weighted 3:2 in favor of the chart, with explicit root `columns`/`weights` and the record\'s own placeholder groups ignored; the synthetic container has no path and records no group, flow or decision, and the root decision reports `reason: \'chart-primary\'`. On cover slides `geometry.logo` places the deck logo above the centered heading group. [Design resolution](design-resolution.md#brand-assets-and-layout-hints) states the precedence, the logo variant selection, picture bullets and the accent font, with the vetoable decisions.\n\n## Shared headers and footers\n\nPublished core 0.11.0 exposes `layoutFurniture(slide, options)` and `geometry.furniture`, separate from body `items`. Composition identifies the available-space policy as `grid-score-v9`. Raw callers pass the presentation as `options.presentation`, resolved dimensions/fonts and the same measurement provider used by preview. `slideIndex` identifies source paths; optional `slideNumber` is the one-based displayed number.\n\nThe core resolver honors whole local header/footer overrides, including `false` and empty objects. Each zone retains its image and all configured text fields in source-aware parts. Literal text and dates preserve whitespace and empty strings. A missing organization logo or socials, or `date: true` without a host-supplied current date, produces `unresolved-content`; the implementation never consults a clock or invents source text.\n\nGenerated values are variables inside a zone\'s `text` (FA-31): `{{organization.name}}`, `{{speaker.name}}, {{speaker.title}}` and the other deck-wide built-ins resolve with `resolveVariables` before composition, and the slide-scoped `{{slide.number}}` (the displayed number), `{{slide.section}}` (the slide\'s `section`, empty when it has none) and `{{deck.slideCount}}` (the displayed slide count: `options.slideCount`, else `presentation.slides.length`; whole-deck pagination iterates to the final page count) resolve in `layoutFurniture` for the slide it lays out. One `text` holds several values in the author\'s order, with `\\n` between lines (`"{{organization.name}}\\n{{slide.section}}"`, `"Page {{slide.number}} of {{deck.slideCount}}"`). An escaped `\\{{slide.number}}` draws as the literal token. Every zone `text` is one part with `field: \'text\'` and `sourcePath` at the authored text. `dateFormat` is an LDML-style pattern (`yyyy`, `yy`, `MMMM`, `MMM`, `MM`, `M`, `dd`, `d`, `EEEE`, `EEE`, quoted literals) with fixed English month and weekday names. A string `date` with `dateFormat` must be an ISO `YYYY-MM-DD` date and renders as fixed, generated text tied to that source value; without `dateFormat` a date string stays literal and editable. `date: true` is the current date: hosts pass today\'s ISO date as `options.date` (composition, pagination, renderer and exporter), and the default pattern is `M/d/yyyy`. Text parts expose `fields`: one `{ type: \'slideNumber\', start, end }` per substituted `{{slide.number}}` and one `{ type: \'date\', start, end, format }` for a whole current date, as half-open UTF-16 ranges into the part\'s `text`, so exporters can write native live fields while `{{deck.slideCount}}`, `{{slide.section}}` and fixed dates stay fixed text. `formatFurnitureDate()` is exported for hosts. All configured fields in one zone stack, in the order logo, image, text, socials, date (`logo: true` is the deck\'s icon logo as a generated image part; see [design resolution](design-resolution.md#brand-assets-and-layout-hints)); put a date and a slide number in different zones to keep one line each. Hiding furniture on a title slide is the slide-level `design.header: false` / `design.footer: false` override.\n\nThe slide-scoped built-ins work in body text too. Engines compose and draw the slide `resolveSlideContext(deck, index, { slideNumber, slideCount })` returns as `context.slide` (`resolveSlideVariables(slide, { slideNumber, slideCount })` substitutes them in the slide\'s own strings, leaving its own header and footer to `layoutFurniture`), with the same numbers in `context.options`, so body text is measured and drawn with the real value. `paginate` measures continuation pages with the substituted values but returns the slides with the tokens kept, never splitting a page inside a token, and runs its slide-count fixed point whenever `{{deck.slideCount}}` appears in the deck.\n\n`socials: true` (core 0.11.1 and later) generates one `socials` part from the primary organization\'s `organization.socials`. The part has one source line per platform, in key order, and a parallel `links` array (`platform`, `text`, `href`, `resolved`, `sourcePath`). `resolveSocialProfile(platform, value, owner)` formats each value without network access, through the engine\'s social-platform vocabulary (`SOCIAL_PLATFORMS`, [`engine-vocabularies.json`](../spec/reference/engine-vocabularies.json)). A handle loses its `handlePrefix` and is substituted into `companyUrlPattern`, then `profileUrlPattern`, then `baseUrl/{handle}`; the result is shown as that URL without `https://`. A URL value passes through unchanged except that `https://` is dropped from the display. A key outside the vocabulary (the schema rejects one) is shown raw with no link, which is the Socials engine fallback. No catalog is involved: the Socials keys are an engine vocabulary. A missing organization, or one with no non-empty socials, produces `unresolved-content`. Speaker socials, platform icons, brand colors and slide-size presets are not rendered.\n\n`furniture-flow-v2` gives each left/center/right zone 26% of the canvas width. Parts stack within a zone; the tallest zone sets the natural band height. Text uses at least the selected readability floor, with complete accepted source lines and optional measured outline placement. Header and footer bands reserve room before heading and body allocation. Irreducible text, conflicting bands or a heading displaced beyond the remaining space produce diagnostics; strict composition rejects them. An image or `logo: true` part (`type: \'image\'`) aligns like the zone\'s text: its `box` is as wide as the image\'s own proportions make it at the band height (a 36 px band at 1280 px wide), at most the zone, flush with the zone\'s left edge in the left zone, centered in the center zone and flush with its right edge in the right zone, at the same vertical position as before; consumers fit the image inside `box`. Core reads the proportions without fetching, from an embedded PNG, JPEG, GIF, WebP or SVG data URI or an `asset:` reference to one, decoding only a bounded prefix of the payload (64 KiB, 1 MiB for a JPEG whose frame header sits behind large metadata) and memoizing per source, so a multi-megabyte logo costs nothing per slide; a JPEG whose header is past 1 MiB, an SVG whose root tag is past 64 KiB, a path or a URL is unreadable is placed in a square box (vetoable), so a wide image behind a path or URL is drawn small and flush to its zone edge until it is embedded. No-furniture body geometry remains unchanged.\n\nPagination repeats these fields without putting them among body slices. An optional `page.repeatedMappings` records repeated heading/furniture and metadata paths while the existing `page.mappings` retains its body-fragment contract. Whole-deck pagination evaluates final output numbers, including preceding continuation pages, and rejects unresolved repeated content atomically. Renderer and editor reuse the accepted parts; literal text/date fields, including empty values, support direct canvas editing and undo. Generated labels remain tied to metadata.\n\nPublished PPTX (0.9.1 and later, current 0.13.2) draws the accepted editable text boxes and fitted images and records furniture provenance in tagged slide shapes. Reimport uses current native text and images; damaged or ambiguous provenance retains visible content with diagnostics. The [fresh installed-package evidence](evidence/shipped-train-20260921/installed/acceptance-summary.json) includes deterministic export, current-content reimport controls and offline canvas editing/undo. Native PowerPoint acceptance, font compatibility and full visual review remain separate gates; the published PPTX (through 0.11.7) is not native `p:hf` Header/Footer support. On [opf-pptx main](https://github.com/OpenPresentation/opf-pptx) (RR-11, unreleased) the first footer text, date and slide number that fit one accepted line become real PowerPoint `ftr`, `dt` and `sldNum` placeholders at exactly this geometry, with master/layout placeholders and `p:hf` flags (see [native header and footer](https://github.com/OpenPresentation/opf-pptx/blob/main/docs/native-header-footer.md)); header parts, organization, section, socials, images and multi-line text stay tagged shapes because PowerPoint has no object for them. No core geometry or schema changed. Bounds/readability checks do not certify whole-slide design quality: long labels can wrap heavily in portrait zones, and outline agreement does not establish native font identity.\n\n## Footnote areas and caption bands\n\nRR-34 (core after 0.11.4) adds two reserved regions that exist only for decks that use the fields. A slide whose runs carry `cite` or `footnote` markers gets `geometry.footnotes` (`footnote-area-v1`): a rule and the slide\'s notes in number order, directly above the footer band (or the bottom padding) with the content area\'s left edge and width, in the body family at the furniture size; the content area shrinks by exactly the area\'s height plus half the slide gap, and nothing above it moves. The area takes at most 35% of the span between the heading top and the footer band; a note that does not fit reports `text-overflow` at its source path (`references.N` or the run\'s path), which pagination treats like any other fit overflow. `slideCitations(slide, slideIndex, presentation)` is the numbering `composeSlide` uses; pass the same `presentation` and `slideIndex` to every consumer. An `image`, `chart`, `table` or `video` payload with a `caption` reserves a caption band inside its region (`item.caption`; `item.box` becomes the media box), below or above the media, at most 35% of the region; automatic grid selection scores the leaf on its media box. See [footnotes, citations and captions](footnotes-citations-captions.md).\n\n## Backgrounds and placed images\n\nCore 0.15 composes pictures in two ways (FA-22); [images](image-treatments.md) has the full vocabulary.\n\n- A picture background (the slide\'s `design.background`, then the deck\'s, then the theme\'s, when it is `{ type: "image", ... }` or an image-source string) is `geometry.backgroundImage`: the whole canvas as its frame, `fit` (`cover`, `contain`, `stretch`, `tile`), `focus`, `opacity`, `recolor` and the overlay box (whole picture or an edge band). It never moves content. `resolveSlideContext` passes the theme\'s background as `ComposeSlideOptions.themeBackground`.\n- Every image item carries `item.image`: the frame inside its region, `fit` (the block\'s own, else the effective `design.imageFit`, else `cover`), `focus`, the mask with its DrawingML preset and SVG outline, line, opacity, recolor and overlay. `fitImage(frame, fit, aspect, focus)` is the shared fit math; core fills `item.image.picture` itself when it can read the picture\'s proportions (a data URI, or an `asset:` reference to one).\n\nA top-level image block with `placement: { edge, size, inset }`, or the slide\'s n-th top-level image when the layout\'s n-th image placeholder carries a placement, takes a band along that slide edge: `size` of the slide width (left, right) or height (top, bottom), default 0.5, edge to edge, or inside the slide padding with `inset`. Headings, footnotes and the body compose in the free area that remains, with the usual padding; header and footer bands keep their full-width placement. Bands are taken in block order and each spans the free area the earlier ones left; a second block on a used edge flows as content (the validator reports it). Placed items are listed after the headings and before the flowed body, and their placeholder slot is not reserved in the flow. A slide whose only body is placed images is composed like a cover. A right-to-left deck mirrors `left` and `right`.\n## Nested groups\n\n### Shared content cards\n\nShared content cards are published in core 0.10.0 and later, including current core 0.16.0. For `design.contentBox: true`, each body leaf carries a `frameBox` at its outer allocation and a `box` padded inward by 12 reference pixels at a 720-pixel short edge, capped at one quarter of the frame\'s width or height. Scoring, accepted payload measurement, strict overflow and pagination all use that rounded interior. Headings remain unframed, nested groups keep their original padding, and explicit outer regions/track weights remain authoritative. Automatic candidates may change because their available content space changes.\n\nEvery composed item carries its resolved horizontal text `alignment` (`left`, `center` or `right`). The title uses `titleAlignment`; every other item, including subtitle, tag, body text, lists, tables and metrics, uses `contentAlignment`. The value is the effective `design` key: the slide\'s design, then the deck\'s design (or the host option), then the layout record\'s `design`, then `left`, so a layout that sets `contentAlignment: center` centers its content with no deck or slide value. The title never inherits `contentAlignment`. A cover (a slide with no body payload on a heading-only layout) has no content region, so its tag and subtitle join the title\'s alignment: they follow `titleAlignment`, and only a `contentAlignment` set on the slide\'s own design keeps them apart (a deck or layout value does not). Accepted outline placement and metric internals use the same value. The renderer and the PPTX exporter anchor preview and native text to `item.alignment`, so both engines place a layout\'s text the same way.\n\nRaw composition callers pass their resolved deck flag as `composeSlide(slide, {contentBox: effectiveDesign.contentBox, ...options})`; a slide\'s explicit `design.contentBox: false` overrides it. Coordinated renderer, editor and whole-presentation pagination resolve this option for their callers. Consumers draw at `frameBox` and use the accepted `box` and payload internals without another inset. Core 0.9.0 predates this behavior. Content cards do not make the incomplete chart/timeline density models complete or certify native raster fidelity.\n\nA block or promoted region can contain its own `blocks` and `composition`. The optional discriminator is `"type": "group"`. A group has at least one child and cannot mix children with leaf fields such as `text` or `image`.\n\n```json\n{\n  "composition": { "mode": "row", "weights": [2, 1] },\n  "blocks": [\n    {\n      "composition": { "mode": "column", "padding": 0.02 },\n      "blocks": [{ "text": "Recommendation" }, { "text": "Supporting evidence" }]\n    },\n    { "text": "Context" }\n  ]\n}\n```\n\nThe parent allocates a box to each group, then the group arranges its children inside that box. Group padding defaults to zero; padding and gap use the group\'s shorter edge. Only `minFontSize` and `overflow` inherit. A strict ancestor cannot be weakened by a child\'s `overflow: "warn"`. Font sizes remain relative to the canvas, not the group. Groups can nest up to 32 levels; cycles and deeper nesting fail with an explicit error.\n\nAutomatic grid scoring inspects descendant text using each descendant\'s explicit arrangement or geometric automatic seed. After selecting the parent\'s grid, it optimizes each child\'s automatic grid. This deterministic, bounded search avoids exponential combinations; it does not claim a globally optimal packing.\n\n`result.items` contains every leaf with its full source path and effective composition. `result.groups` contains group paths, outer bounds, and content bounds. The editor\'s `setGroupComposition(path, value)` validates and records undo/redo just like slide composition edits.\n\n## Inspecting and repairing layout\n\n```js\nimport { composeSlide } from \'@openpresentation/opf/composition\';\nconst result = composeSlide(deck.slides[0], { width: 1280, height: 720, layout: resolvedLayout });\nconsole.log(result.items);       // Source paths, content, geometry, and text estimates\nconsole.log(result.diagnostics); // Path-specific text-overflow and small-cell messages\n```\n\nThis pure function expects a validated slide. The caller resolves catalog records and passes the canvas size, `fontFamilies` and `textMeasurement`; `resolveSlideContext(deck, index, { fonts })` from the package root does the catalog resolution for one slide of a deck and returns those options, plus the slide to pass (`context.slide`, with the slide-scoped built-ins substituted). The rendering and export packages perform those steps at their boundaries. No network, DOM, system font, or AI dependency is required.\n\n### Explain automatic selection (core 0.8.0 and later)\n\nPass `explain: true` to return `result.explanation`. This opt-in API requires core 0.8.0; it is absent from core 0.7.0. Enabling explanations adds no measurement calls and does not change geometry, source content, reading order, weights or selected arrangements within the same engine version.\n\n```js\nconst result = composeSlide(slide, {...resolvedOptions, explain: true});\nfor (const decision of result.explanation.decisions) {\n  console.log(decision.path, decision.reason, decision.selectedColumns);\n  console.table(decision.candidates);\n}\nconsole.log(result.explanation.textMeasurement);\nconsole.log(result.explanation.unmeasuredPayloads);\n```\n\n`resolvedOptions` supplies the same dimensions, layout, fonts and optional width provider as the preview. Core 0.8.0 identifies its explanation as `grid-score-v2`; core 0.9.0 advances to `grid-score-v3` to include complete code metadata/body measurements. Current core 0.16.0 reports `grid-score-v9`. These versions record containers in parent-before-child order. `lowest-score` reports the candidates actually tried; `configured-mode` respects resolved row/column/grid intent and returns no invented candidates. `promoted-regions` leaves region placement fixed and has no selected column count. Empty slides have no decisions. Automatic search tries one through `min(slotCount, columns ?? 6)` columns, in ascending order; ties retain the first candidate. Reserved placeholders count as slots. The schema caps an explicit candidate limit at twelve columns.\n\nEach candidate has `columns`, `rows`, `score` and additive `penalties`:\n\n| Penalty | Rule |\n| --- | --- |\n| `cellProportions` | Sum of `abs(log(cellAspect / 1.6))` for descendant leaves |\n| `fontReduction` | Reduction from 25 reference pixels for text-like leaves; current quote/code/metric/timeline layouts sum requested-minus-fitted sizes across their parts, divided by canvas scale |\n| `textOverflow` | 1,000 per overflowing text-like leaf or complete quote/code/metric/timeline payload, regardless of the number of internal failure reasons |\n| `tableOverflow` | 1,000 per table whose shared cell layout overflows |\n| `smallCells` | 100 per leaf narrower than 100 or shorter than 60 reference pixels |\n| `emptySlots` | 2 per unused position in the candidate grid\'s final row |\n\nScores are preference costs, not quality percentages or guarantees. Floating-point summation can make the component total differ slightly from `score`. Parent scoring uses descendant explicit arrangements or geometric automatic seeds; child automatic grids are optimized only after selecting the parent. Candidate scores therefore describe the bounded search, not a full assessment of the final optimized subtree. Heading fit remains in ordinary diagnostics, outside body-grid scoring. A strict-fit rejection exposes the explanation on `OPFCompositionError` when requested.\n\n`textMeasurement` is `estimated` without a provider and `provided` with one. A provided width function does not establish font provenance, glyph coverage, shaping or native raster fidelity. Text, rich text, lists, quotes, table cells and code in core 0.9 participate in the fit model. Current core 0.11.0 also measures metric and timeline parts; its `unmeasuredPayloads` identifies images, video and charts whose complete internal layout is not assessed. Core 0.8 reports code as incomplete; core 0.9 measures its filename/language/body and insets. Media aspect ratios, chart labels and complete timeline visual density still require inspection. A zero score or empty diagnostics is not proof that those payloads fit.\n\nExplanations expose the search for inspection and do not silently paginate or rewrite a document. Published editor 0.8.0 provides guarded track resizing, block moves, creation/removal and explicit pagination with preview/undo. A general automatic repair loop, automatic weight allocation, complete payload-internal measurement, CLI explanations and a canvas **Auto arrange** preview/undo operation remain open work; the **Arrange** controls below are explicit human adjustments.\n\nWith `overflow: "warn"` (default), the result retains all text and returns diagnostics. SVG emits all lines and marks overflowing groups with `data-opf-overflow="true"`; text may extend beyond its box or canvas. Consumers can collect diagnostics using `onDiagnostic`. With `overflow: "error"`, the layout rejects content that does not fit. Shorten the affected content, give it more space, or explicitly split it into another slide. Use the explicit pagination transform below to produce additional editable slides.\n\nThe editor exposes `editor.composeSlide(index)` and `editor.setComposition(index, value)`. The latter validates the change, records JSON Patch history, and supports undo/redo.\n\n## Pagination\n\n```js\nimport { paginateSlide, paginate } from \'@openpresentation/opf/pagination\';\nconst { presentation, pages } = paginate(deck);\n// Review, save, render, or export `presentation`; pages maps output fragments to source paths.\nconst single = paginateSlide(deck.slides[0], { width: 1280, height: 720, minFontSize: 24 });\n```\n\nPagination is an authoring operation. It produces ordinary OPF slides; previews and PPTX export consume those exact pages. It preserves the input, body order, nested groups, promoted regions, rich-text formatting, and source text characters. Plain text and rich runs split at grapheme boundaries, preferring sentence/paragraph breaks and then word breaks. Lists split between items, tables between rows with column labels repeated, and code splits without rewriting its source. Indivisible payloads remain intact. Existing track weights continue to apply to positions on each resulting page.\n\nThe default readability target is 24 reference pixels. Core 0.8.0 returns slides that persist that floor in `composition.minFontSize`, including an already-fitting one-page result; existing higher minima and strict overflow policies remain intact. Quotes can raise their nominal body/footer sizes to the floor. Current core 0.11.0 enforces the selected floor in shared plain/rich/list/table fitting, including painted rich fragments, while retaining authored style metadata. Unsupported fits report overflow rather than silently capping output below the floor. The [readability-floor checkpoint](plans/readability-floor.md) records the earlier candidate and its bounded-search tradeoffs. Pagination relies on the shared engine\'s estimates; it is not a guarantee that every host font renders identically. Headings repeat unchanged, speaker notes remain on the first page, and continuation IDs avoid existing deck IDs. `pages[].mappings` records full source/output paths and half-open text or item ranges. Text offsets use UTF-16, so source strings can be reconstructed exactly. Quote bodies split at grapheme boundaries and repeat complete attribution/source fields on each page. An irreducible footer rejects the whole operation, including a quote with an empty body after earlier content.\n\nIf a heading, individual list item, table row, or other atomic payload cannot fit on an otherwise empty page, `OPFPaginationError` returns actionable diagnostics. There is no partial output. `maxSlides` defaults to 100, and a layout-evaluation limit bounds work on pathological input. Specialized chart and timeline internals still require visual inspection; their complete density models remain outstanding.\n\nThe editor\'s `editor.paginateSlide(index)` is one validated transaction with undo/redo. It returns `{change, pagination}`. Editor 0.5.0 commits a one-page readability-policy change too; repeating the operation after the policy is recorded returns `change: null`. The playground includes an overflowing draft and **Split overflow** action. The CLI writes a new file and refuses to overwrite an existing one:\n\n```sh\nopf paginate input.opf.json output.opf.json\n```\n\n## Right-to-left decks\n\nWhen the presentation `language` is written right to left (Arabic, Hebrew, Syriac, Thaana and the other right-to-left scripts) or the host passes `direction: \'rtl\'`, `composeSlide` mirrors the composition and reports each paragraph\'s direction; `SlideComposition.direction` is `\'rtl\'`. The first column and the `left` region are drawn at the right, banded slide images, cover logos and header/footer zones swap sides, lists put their markers at the right, tables run right to left, and `TextFit.directions` gives the direction of the paragraph each line belongs to. Alignment is logical: the authored `left` is the start edge, drawn at the right edge of a right-to-left paragraph (`physicalAlignment`). A left-to-right deck composes exactly as before. The rules and the PPTX mapping are in [Layout direction](programs/font-fidelity-everywhere/script-font-model.md#layout-direction-rr-05).\n\n## Fidelity boundary\n\nThe shared engine provides identical body and heading geometry to SVG and editable PPTX export. Text measurements default to deterministic estimates. For actual font advances, use the shared provider described in [measured fonts](font-fidelity.md). Complex scripts, fallback fonts, PowerPoint text rendering, rich text, charts, tables, and images still need visual verification. Dynamic composition is not a guarantee of pixel-identical PowerPoint output. List density includes rich runs, descriptions and nesting via `fitList`, with the same hanging indents used in preview and export. Only text-like payloads currently receive content-density estimates; small-cell diagnostics also cover non-text content.\n\nSVG embeds raster data URI images locally. Remote and file images require a host resolver that supplies a raster data URI; otherwise they appear as placeholders. `strictAssets` rejects unresolved images. The runtime never fetches them.\n\nSee [the complete example](../examples/technical/dynamic-composition.opf.json) and [local ecosystem verification](ecosystem-development.md).\n\n\n## Preview polish shared by preview and export (RR-07)\n\nThree accepted spec fields used to be drawn plain; core now owns the shared tables so the SVG preview and the PPTX export draw them identically. Consumers import them from `@openpresentation/opf`; none changes geometry, and an older core simply leaves the preview and the export plain, without a new diagnostic.\n\n- **Code syntax colours.** `tokenizeCode(source, language)` returns sorted, non-overlapping token ranges (`keyword`, `string`, `number`, `comment`, `function`, `type`, `property`) over the exact `code.source`; `codeLineRuns(tokens, start, end, source?)` clips them to one accepted source line, so concatenating the runs returns the line unchanged (a tab is always its own plain run). The scanner is deterministic and dependency-free (no network, clock or locale). `code.language` resolves through aliases (`ts`, `tsx`, `py`, `sh`, `yml`, `c++`, `terraform`, and so on) to `javascript`, `typescript`, `python`, `rust`, `go`, `bash`, `json`, `yaml`, `toml`, `ini`, `html`/`xml`, `css`, `sql`, `java`, `csharp`, `kotlin`, `swift`, `ruby`, `php`, `c`/`cpp`, `hcl` and `dockerfile` (`resolveCodeLanguage`, `CODE_HIGHLIGHT_LANGUAGES`); any other language, a missing one, or source over 200,000 characters stays plain. `codeSyntaxPaletteForScheme(colorScheme)` gives one colour per kind from the deck theme (keyword = primary, string = accent, number = secondary; comment, function, type and property are fixed slate, blue, cyan and pink, rotated away from a theme colour they would collide with), each lightened until it is at least 4.5:1 on the #111827 code panel. The renderer nests coloured tspans inside each accepted segment tspan; PPTX writes the same colours as native runs in the same one-text-box-per-line shapes, so editing and import are unchanged. The language is not inferred from `code.filename`. `code.highlight` (1-based source lines and inclusive ranges) adds a band behind marked lines and dims the rest: `codeHighlightLines` resolves it against the source, `codeLineNumbers` numbers each displayed line (a wrapped line repeats its number), `codeHighlightBands` returns the runs of displayed lines to draw behind, and `codeHighlightColors(colorScheme)` gives the band and the marked/dimmed palettes, all at least 4.5:1 on what they sit on. The SVG band is one `rect` per run behind the line text; PPTX writes one native rectangle per run (`OPF code N highlight M`) after the panel and before the line text boxes, so the one-text-box-per-line shapes and the code provenance tags are unchanged.\n- **Metric trend.** A `metric.trend` (`up`, `down`, `flat`) keeps its word as the visible, editable text and gains one arrow: `metricTrendMark(layout, {background})` derives the arrow from the accepted trend line (square, 0.72 of the font size, on the baseline, 0.3 of the font size from the word; after the word for left alignment, before it for centre and right, and omitted if it would leave the field). The arrow is the DrawingML `upArrow`, `downArrow` or `rightArrow` preset at default adjustments (`metricTrendPoints` is the outline the preview draws), coloured by the metric\'s `sentiment`: positive green, negative red, neutral a neutral colour, kept at 4.5:1 or more against the slide background (`metricTrendColor`); the delta and trend text take the same colour. `layoutMetric` passes `sentiment` through as `MetricLayout.sentiment` (omitted when the metric has none) and `metricTrendMark` reads it, so the arrow direction always follows `trend` and only the colour follows `sentiment`. Absent, the sentiment is the conventional reading of the trend (up positive, down negative, flat neutral), which is the colour drawn before `sentiment` existed. A `sentiment` without a `trend` draws no arrow and colours nothing. The arrow carries the alternative text "Trend: up" (`aria-label` in SVG, `descr` in PPTX); the word and the arrow carry the direction, the colour the verdict.\n- **Pattern fills.** `PATTERN_PRESETS` lists the 54 ECMA-376 ST_PresetPatternVal names and `patternBitmap(preset)` / `patternRuns(preset)` give each as an 8 x 8 one-bit tile, one pixel per 1/96 inch, anchored at the slide\'s top-left, foreground where a bit is set (`diagStripe` still resolves to `wdUpDiag`). ECMA-376 names the presets but does not define their pixels: the tiles are measured from desktop PowerPoint (Office 365, Windows, 2026-10-01) by exporting each preset as a full-slide background to a 1280 x 720 PNG and voting every pixel into its (x mod 8, y mod 8) cell with opf-render `scripts/derive-pattern-bitmaps.mjs`. Every tile was uniform across all repeats (confidence 1.00) at one image pixel per pattern pixel, so a pattern pixel is one 1/96 inch unit, and the phase is the slide\'s top-left corner. The tool also reports any tile that later differs. PPTX already wrote every preset as native `a:pattFill`.\n\n## Metric internals (published coordinated packages)\n\nPublished core 0.11.0 exports `layoutMetric(value, box, options)` from `@openpresentation/opf/composition` (the package root no longer exports engine names). It accepts a finite number, string, or `{value, unit?, label?, description?, delta?, trend?, sentiment?}`. Renderer 0.9.0, editor 0.8.0 and PPTX 0.9.1 consume its shared geometry for composition, atomic pagination, preview, editing and export. Core 0.9.0 predates this API. The [primitive checkpoint](plans/shared-metric-layout.md) and [source integration checkpoint](plans/shared-metric-integration.md) record its development; current pins and remaining native/font gates are in the [compatibility matrix](compatibility-matrix.md).\n\nPass the allocated reference-pixel `box`, resolved heading/body `fontFamilies`, `textMeasurement`, canvas `scale`, effective `minFontSize`, source `path` and optional `overflow: \'error\'`. `metric-flow-v1` returns separate value/unit/label/description/delta/trend parts in that order. Numeric zero is visible; scalar values keep the scalar path. Every provided field retains its original string or number in `sources[].value`. Source ranges address `String(value)` using UTF-16 offsets; the original spelling of a numeric JSON token is not available. No locale formatting, trend icon, case conversion or separator is invented. Empty optional strings retain source mappings with `visible: false`; the required empty value keeps a targetable blank line.\n\nThe allocator tries an adjacent value/unit baseline when both fit one line and the unit uses at most 35% of the cell width; otherwise it stacks the fields. Metadata has an eight-reference-pixel gap, with twelve pixels after the primary row. Related fields stay together rather than being separated by a percentage of the cell height. The value starts at up to 76 reference pixels (28% of cell height); label/unit/delta start at 23, description at 20 and trend at 18. Every requested size is raised to the chosen floor, scaled once. Natural metadata height gets space before reducing type. At most 48 arrangements are evaluated, each with at most 77 value-size trials; identical inputs and a deterministic measurement provider select the fitting candidate with least summed font reduction, preferring the first candidate on ties.\n\nEach part exposes requested/resolved styles and the same source-preserving line/segment representation used by code (`CodeTextFit`), measured with proportional heading/body fonts. CR/LF/CRLF, tabs, whitespace and grapheme boundaries remain exact. Consumers must reuse accepted line and segment positions, font sizes and styles rather than independently re-fit or normalize text. This API reports `provided` measurement when a provider is passed, without claiming that its glyph coverage or shaping is complete. Unsupported glyphs propagate the provider\'s error with the field path.\n\nPass `align: \'left\' | \'center\' | \'right\'` (default left) to the primitive. Its returned `alignment` and per-part `linePositions` give an absolute x origin and baseline for each `fit.sourceLines` entry, including blank lines. An inline value/unit pair moves together, with the gap following the actual value advance. Composition accepts host-resolved `contentAlignment`; an explicit slide `design.contentAlignment` overrides it. Renderer/export/pagination pass the effective design into the same operation. Alignment does not trigger a second font fit.\n\nCheck `overflow` before consuming parts. Irreducible text, invalid available space, parts outside the cell and overlapping occupied line boxes return field-specific diagnostics; strict mode throws `OPFCompositionError`. Invalid available boxes retain their dimensions and have no fit. These are advance-based line rectangles, not glyph outlines: the controlled browser evidence separately records small glyph overhangs. The API is a bounded internal allocator, not the complete layout-repair/Auto arrange operation or a native export fidelity guarantee.\n\nCurrent `grid-score-v9` retains the metric scoring introduced by `grid-score-v4`: every metric part contributes font reduction, with one overflow penalty per failing metric leaf. `item.metricLayout` is measured against the rounded accepted cell; `item.text`/`item.textStyle` alias the value fit/style. Field diagnostics obey strict ancestor policies, while explicit modes/weights/regions remain authoritative. Metrics are excluded from the advance-model `unmeasuredPayloads` list. Explicit pagination retains metrics atomically with complete source types/metadata and rejects irreducible fields without returning partial output. The published train has [installed-package acceptance](evidence/shipped-train-20260921/installed/acceptance-summary.json), including metric provenance controls. That evidence does not establish native raster or font equivalence.\n\n## Code internals (core 0.9.0 and coordinated packages)\n\nCore 0.9.0 introduced `layoutCode(value, box, options)` for the schema\'s string shorthand or `{source, language?, filename?}` object. It returns measured filename/language/body parts with exact original text, requested/resolved styles, readability floors, available boxes and diagnostics. Its original integration targeted renderer/PPTX 0.7.0 and editor 0.6.0; the [release checkpoint](plans/shared-code-release.md) records that rollout. These contracts are published in the current core 0.11.0, renderer 0.9.0, PPTX 0.9.1 and editor 0.8.0 train. Core 0.8.0 predates this API and retains the [recorded code-label, filename and whitespace defects](plans/layout-repair.md).\n\n`grid-score-v3` charges code font reductions across all metadata/body parts and one overflow penalty per failing leaf. It preserves explicit modes, weights, regions and source order. Accepted `item.codeLayout` is fitted to the same rounded cell exposed as `item.box`; `item.text` and `item.textStyle` alias the body, not the first metadata part. Strict ancestor settings apply to internal `.source`, `.filename` and `.language` diagnostics. Code no longer appears in `explanation.unmeasuredPayloads`, which concerns the core advance-based model only. It does not mean browser/native fidelity is verified.\n\nPagination slices the code body at grapheme boundaries, repeats filename/language and returns contiguous UTF-16 body ranges while preserving all source bytes and the evaluated readability floor. Irreducible metadata rejects all output, including when the body is empty or earlier content could have fitted. Consumers must preview/export the returned document. The [integration checkpoint](plans/shared-code-integration.md) separates source, installed browser, Windows PowerPoint and remaining release gates.\n\nEach fitted part retains every space and explicit CR/LF/CRLF break. `fit.lines` contains exact source slices, and `fit.sourceLines` records half-open UTF-16 `start`, `end` and `nextStart` offsets, the measured width and a `soft`, `hard` or `end` boundary. A hard break occupies `[end, nextStart)`; soft wrapping consumes no source character. Joining `part.text.slice(line.start, line.nextStart)` reconstructs the original part. Blank lines and a final empty line are retained, and long tokens split only at grapheme boundaries. Filename and language text are not case-converted. An absent/empty metadata pair creates a generated `code` label with no source range.\n\n`code-flow-v1` uses 18-reference-pixel outer insets, an eight-pixel gap between filename and language, and a twelve-pixel gap before the body. Nominal metadata/body sizes are 14/18 reference pixels, raised when necessary to respect the selected minimum, then scaled once. At most four metadata nominal/floor combinations are tried; each body fit tries at most 19 sizes regardless of canvas scale. The fitting combination with least font reduction wins. Irreducible metadata/body failures retain all text and diagnostic paths; invalid available boxes have no fit. `overflow: \'error\'` rejects rather than returning partial output.\n\nTabs remain literal characters in part text and displayed-line slices. Measurement advances to the next multiple of four measured spaces from that line\'s origin; `fit.tabSize` and `fit.tabWidth` expose the rule. Each source line\'s `segments` contains exact text/tab source ranges plus measured `x`/`width` values relative to its origin. Consumers must reuse those positions: an Edge probe showed that SVG treats a tab as one space despite CSS `tab-size: 4`. The published SVG renderer uses positioned spans and geometric precision; native export uses accepted tab stops. Width measurements and source preservation alone do not establish glyph-outline containment, shaping/bidi support or native fidelity. [Installed workflow evidence](evidence/shared-code-installed/summary.json) records the separate actual browser and native checks with their exact font/runtime scope.\n\nPublished native export stores source boundaries in standard PowerPoint shape tags. Complete unique groups recover exact code/source metadata, with current native text taking precedence. Missing, damaged or ambiguous groups retain visible native shapes and report diagnostics. Reimport does not reconstruct native formatting, positioning, font theme or readability policy. Eight installed-export wide/portrait slides pass native edit/save/reopen and all 24 original/saved/edited imports on the recorded Windows PowerPoint build; this is not arbitrary PowerPoint round-trip or pixel equivalence. The editor preserves untouched CRLF/CR source around edits and keeps committed preview geometry separate from its active native textarea caret.\n\nThe JSON schema can accept strings that [XML 1.0 cannot represent](https://www.w3.org/TR/xml/#charsets). Published SVG/PPTX code output rejects forbidden controls, unpaired UTF-16 surrogates, U+FFFE and U+FFFF with `invalid-code-text`, the source field path and UTF-16 offset in the message. The input stays unchanged; the caller can correct that character explicitly. Tabs, CR/LF/CRLF and valid supplementary characters remain accepted for serialization. Schema support, format representability and glyph coverage are separate properties.\n\nThe controlled SVG harness requests `text-rendering="geometricPrecision"` as well as explicit segment placement. Initial Linux Chromium CI rounded glyph advances under default hinting, unlike Windows Edge with the same font bytes. The [SVG specification](https://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/painting.html#TextRenderingProperty) defines geometric precision as a rendering hint, so consumers still need actual browser checks with their exact fonts and supported environments; the hint alone does not certify agreement. The harness retains a 0.1-reference-pixel tolerance and records observations before assertions.\n\n## Quote internals (core 0.8.0 and coordinated packages)\n\nCore 0.8.0 exports `layoutQuote(value, box, options)` from the `@openpresentation/opf/composition` entrypoint. Pass validated quote content (object or string shorthand), its allocated reference-pixel box, resolved `fontFamilies`, `textMeasurement`, `scale` (canvas short edge / 720), effective `minFontSize`, `overflow` policy and its source `path`.\n\nThe result contains `parts` for the body and any nonempty footer, exact display `text`, source mappings, requested and resolved text styles, and the available boxes/fits. Source ranges use half-open UTF-16 offsets in both the source field and display string; generated quotation marks and the footer separator have no source range. The original content is never modified. A supplied width provider is reported as `provided`; it does not certify shaping or font fidelity.\n\nCheck `overflow` and `diagnostics` before accepting the parts. Invalid available dimensions remain visible with `fit` absent, and `overflow: \'error\'` throws `OPFCompositionError`. Diagnostics distinguish invalid part space, parts outside their cell, text that exceeds its reserved space, and overlapping line rectangles. Those rectangles are conservative text-layout bounds, not measured glyph outlines. The readability floor is scaled once and can raise the nominal body (28) or footer (17) size; it is never silently capped below the selected floor.\n\n`quote-flow-v1` keeps 18-reference-pixel outer insets and an 18-pixel body/footer gap while fonts scale with the canvas. A 40-pixel footer is a whitespace preference. The allocator expands it for long sources or compacts it for dense bodies, trying at most the nominal and minimum footer sizes and selecting the fitting pair with least total font reduction. If neither fits, it returns floor-size failure diagnostics. This is a bounded internal allocation step, not a complete layout-repair engine.\n\n`composeSlide` scores both parts and accepts geometry against the final rounded item box. Each quote item carries `quoteLayout`; its compatibility `text` field is the same fit object as the quote body, including generated quotation marks. Consumers needing original offsets must use the explicit `sources` mappings. The coordinated renderer and PPTX consume these parts without another measurement/style-resolution pass. Missing geometry or invalid part boxes reject rendering/export rather than omitting content. This requires core 0.8.0 with renderer/PPTX 0.6.0; older core 0.7.0/renderer 0.5.1/PPTX 0.5.2 lack these changes. The complete published set, immutable verification refs and fresh registry evidence are recorded in `release-plan.json` and [the release plan](plans/shared-quote-release.md).\n\nBrowser glyph bounds can extend slightly beyond advance-based part boxes into the reserved inset. Current loaded-font tests record those overhangs, verify glyph containment inside the full quote cell and check body/footer separation. Native PowerPoint fixtures separately verify text, sizes, cell containment, save/reopen and reimport. Neither test establishes universal pixel equivalence. Original requested-font provenance through host substitutions and non-quote payload internals remain open requirements.\n\n### Quote role and photo (FA-12)\n\n`QuoteContent` also takes `role` and `photo`. The footer text is the attribution, then `role` after a line break, then `source` after ` - `; each field keeps its own source mapping (`<path>.role`). Without a `role` the footer text is unchanged. A `photo` (an `Asset` value) adds `QuoteLayout.photo`: `{path, value, box, shape}`, where `shape` is the circle mask of `imageShape(\'circle\', box)` (DrawingML `ellipse` and the same outline as an SVG path). The diameter is three times the footer font size and the gap beside it three quarters of that size, so the allocator picks the footer size (nominal or the readability floor) with the photo in the footer height and the footer text in the remaining width. The photo sits at the start edge of the inset area: the left, or the right when `options.direction` is `rtl`, where the footer text is its mirror. The text block is centered on the photo. A photo whose height cannot fit at the floor adds the `photo-fit` diagnostic reason (and `overflow`); a photo with no footer text still draws. Without a photo `layoutQuote` returns exactly what it returned before, with no `photo` key. The renderer and the PPTX exporter draw `photo` from the result and do not recompute it.\n\n## Timeline internals\n\n`layoutTimeline(value, box, options)` (`timeline-flow-v1`) places an optional name and description, then the events as a marker on a connector with each event\'s `when`, `what` and `description` as separate text parts. It tries an alternating arrangement (labels above and below a horizontal connector) and a vertical one (a marker rail down the start edge, labels beside it), at most 50 candidates in all, and keeps the first that fits or the one with the fewest diagnostics. Right-to-left decks put the vertical rail on the right edge.\n\n### Event status (FA-11)\n\n`TimelineEvent.status` is `done`, `current` or `planned`. It is a progress state that the engines draw from the deck\'s own colors without judging it; schedule health (at risk, blocked) is deliberately not a status. Layout copies the status to `TimelineLayout.markers[i].status` and to each of that event\'s text parts (`TimelineTextPart.status`), and `timelineMarkerShapes(marker, colors)` and `timelineTextColor(part, colors)` turn it into the shapes and text color that both engines draw:\n\n| Status | Marker | Text |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| absent | A filled circle in the primary color. | Normal text color. |\n| `done` | The same filled circle, so it looks like an event without a status. | Normal text color. |\n| `current` ("we are here") | The filled circle inside a ring: a circle 1.6 times the marker\'s radius with a primary-color outline over the slide background. | The label (`what`) is bold, in the normal text color. |\n| `planned` | A hollow-looking circle of the marker\'s radius: a primary-color outline filled with the slide background. | All of the event\'s text is the muted secondary text color. |\n\n- **Geometry.** A marker\'s `radius` is the radius of its ellipse, for every status. A `current` marker also has `ring.radius`, exactly 1.6 times `radius`, and a `current` or `planned` marker has the `strokeWidth` of its outline (2 reference pixels at 720, at most half the radius). The drawn and exported ellipses have exactly these radii, so every ellipse of a deck has the same size for the same radius (a done, planned and unset marker are the same size); an outline is centered on its ellipse\'s edge and reaches half a stroke beyond it, and the cell check and the vertical rail count that half stroke. A ring that leaves the cell is reported as a `event-space` diagnostic like any marker. In the vertical arrangement a deck with a `current` event moves the rail and the text out by the ring\'s extra width so the text keeps its usual distance from the marker. Events without a status produce exactly the geometry and no extra keys they did before.\n- **Hollow means background-filled.** The outline of a hollow marker and the ring are drawn over the slide background color (in the SVG as the fill, in PPTX as a solid fill of the same color) so the connector does not cross them.\n- **Colors.** `timelineTextColor` returns `mutedText` for a planned event, lightened or darkened until it reaches 4.5:1 against the slide background (`TIMELINE_TEXT_MIN_CONTRAST`), and the normal text color otherwise. Outlines and rings are kept at 3:1 (`TIMELINE_OUTLINE_MIN_CONTRAST`); the filled marker keeps the primary color exactly.\n- **Bold label.** The weight is part of the layout, not a drawing detail: the `what` part of a `current` event is requested at weight 700, so line breaks and heights were measured bold.\n- **PPTX.** The marker is a native `ellipse` (solid primary fill for `done`, `current` and no status; background fill plus a primary line for `planned`), the ring is a second native `ellipse` (background fill plus a primary line), the bold label is a bold run, and planned text takes the muted color. The exporter records each event\'s status in the marker\'s `OPF_TIMELINE_V1` tag and the ring in a tag of its own, and the importer restores `status` from them; a deck whose marker or ring was edited away imports as ordinary text without status, like the rest of the timeline provenance. Status is also written in Markdown as a task-list prefix on the event line: `[x]` done, `[>]` current, `[ ]` planned.\n\n## Resizing in the preview\n\nChoose **Arrange** in the editor to reveal track dividers. Drag a divider to redistribute the space between adjacent columns (row/grid) or rows (column), including nested groups. Arrow keys make small changes; Shift makes larger changes. Escape discards a pointer draft. One drag creates one undo step, and no content is removed. Strict overflow rejects a resize that violates its fit constraints.\n\nResizing an automatic layout makes its chosen columns explicit as `mode: grid` with `columns`. This prevents the number of columns from changing under the pointer. The adjacent share clamps to 5\u201395%, with positive schema-valid weights. Other track proportions and unrelated document fields remain intact. Promoted regions retain their positions; their nested groups can still be resized. Layouts with reserved placeholder slots need an explicit arrangement first. Flows with more than twelve tracks need grouping before the current resize controls can express all weights.\n\n`createCanvasEditor(container, {layoutEditing: true, ...options})` enables dividers initially. `canvas.setLayoutEditing(boolean)` toggles them, and `canvas.commit()` / `canvas.cancel()` also handle an active resize. `onDraft` receives the proposed document; the session stays unchanged until commit. Changes to the resized container cancel a stale draft; unrelated updates are retained.\n\nThe shared engine exposes `geometry.flows`: each flow has its container path, content box, resolved column/row tracks (offset and size), clamped gap, effective composition, item count, and reserved slot count. This is renderer geometry, not new OPF document fields.\n\nAgents can prepare the same guarded change without a DOM:\n\n```js\nimport {prepareTrackResize} from \'@openpresentation/opf-editor/layout\';\nimport {resolvePresentation} from \'@openpresentation/opf-render/svg\';\nconst geometry = resolvePresentation(editor.presentation, { fonts }).slides[0].geometry;\nconst flow = geometry.flows.find(flow => flow.path === \'slides.0\');\nconst prepared = prepareTrackResize(editor.presentation, flow, 0, 0.65);\n// Boundary 0: give the first track 65% of the adjacent pair\'s combined space.\n// Preview prepared.presentation with the same renderer and fonts handle before applying.\neditor.applyPatch(prepared.patches, {rejectInvalid: true});\n```\n\nThe patch contains a `test` guard for the container before changing its composition. Failed tests do not mutate the document or its history. A test-only patch is read-only. Rendering is preflighted by the canvas; headless callers should likewise render a candidate to enforce font and overflow constraints.\n\nVerification: editor layout model tests, `/layout-tests.html` browser keyboard checks and trusted-pointer specimens, and `pnpm test:layout` for measured SVG/native PPTX coordinate parity. Shape-coordinate checks do not establish PowerPoint raster pixel parity.\n\n\n## Reordering and moving blocks\n\nIn **Arrange**, drag a numbered block handle to reorder siblings. The insertion marker shows the destination; the shared renderer reflows the slide after drop. Arrow keys on a handle move the whole block earlier or later. Click a handle for **Earlier**, **Later**, or an explicit destination and insertion position. The destination menu supports existing groups and block-based slides, including moving a child out of a group or moving a whole group to another slide. `canvas.openBlockMenu(path)` opens the same controls programmatically.\n\nA move preserves the entire block and its nested content, formatting, data, and references. Parent composition weights describe positions, so they stay in place. Moving to another container can change the block\'s inherited design and readability constraints; the canvas renders the candidate before committing it. Strict overflow or an unavailable required font rejects the move. A move cannot leave an empty block container or put a group inside its own descendants. Move the group or add another block first when the source has only one child.\n\n```js\nimport {prepareBlockMove, listBlockContainers} from \'@openpresentation/opf-editor/layout\';\nconst containers = listBlockContainers(editor.presentation);\nconst prepared = prepareBlockMove(editor.presentation,\n  \'/slides/0/blocks/0\', \'/slides/0/blocks/1\', 1);\n// Insert the first block before child 1 of the second block\'s group.\n// Destination indexes refer to the document before removal.\n// prepared.path reports the moved block\'s address after any index shifts.\neditor.applyPatch(prepared.patches, {rejectInvalid: true});\n```\n\n`prepareBlockMove` returns `{presentation, patches, path, changed}`. It validates the complete result and emits guarded remove/add patches, so the editor or CLI can apply it atomically. No-op moves return `changed: false` and no patches. `listBlockContainers(presentation, {slideIndex})` optionally limits discovery to a single slide and excludes arbitrary extension data. Headless callers should render the candidate with their intended font provider before applying. The browser and installed-package block harnesses exercise nested moves, undo, stale menus, keyboard access, strict-fit rejection, and native drag reordering.\n\nCreation and deletion use the same layout engine: insertions can normalize implicit payloads into explicit blocks; deletions prune empty groups while retaining the slide. Existing track weights stay positional. See the [editor creation guide](live-editor.md#create-duplicate-and-delete-content) for the guarded APIs and canvas controls.\n'
+    "markdown": "# Dynamic composition\n\nOPF keeps authoring intent in JSON. Use `blocks` when content can reflow; use promoted regions when relative placement is meaningful. `composition` on a slide overrides fields in the resolved layout's `composition`. Existing documents remain valid.\n\nThe current published Node 24 train is core 0.17.0, renderer 0.17.1, PPTX 0.17.0, editor 0.17.0 and CLI 0.17.1.

A partially filled final row retains its grid tracks.\n\n`gap` defaults to 1/30 and `padding` to 0.08, both fractions of the canvas's shorter edge. Large gaps are reduced when necessary to keep cells positive. `minFontSize` defaults to 16 reference pixels at a 720-pixel short edge. The reference coordinate system uses 96 pixels per inch. Explicit inch dimensions override presets independently for each axis.\n\nComposed font sizes lie on PowerPoint's 0.01 pt grid (RR-16). PowerPoint stores a run size (`sz`) in hundredths of a point and a point is 4/3 reference pixels, so every size a fit accepts is a whole multiple of 1/75 px (`FONT_SIZE_GRID_PER_PX`), and the preview draws exactly the size the export writes. Fitting evaluates each trial size on the grid before breaking lines and placing text: trial sizes stay anchored to the unsnapped request (no drift) and round down (`snapFontSizeDown`), so a size that fit before snapping still fits; a readability floor rounds up (`snapFontSizeUp`), so `minFontSize` is never undercut; and a result that reports no overflow was measured at the size it carries. The rule covers plain, rich, list (marker, description and picture-bullet side), table, quote, code, metric, timeline, furniture and heading text, including each rich run and script. `wrapText` measures at exactly the size it is given.\n\nHeadings reserve space according to their wrapped text. Title and subtitle share the padded width of the free area, and a missing tag or subtitle leaves no gap.\n\nCover slides vertically center the combined tag/title/subtitle group in the free heading area. A cover is a slide with no body payload (no root content field, where a root `image` counts unless the layout places it, no `blocks` other than placed images, no promoted regions; empty payloads such as `blocks: []`, `text: \"\"`, empty lists and regions with nothing in them count as no body; whitespace-only text is still body) on a heading-only layout: a layout record whose placeholders are all headings or placed images (an `image` placeholder with a `placement`), or a slide with no layout record at all. The rule reads the record, never its id. The free area is the slide minus the bands of placed images, header and footer furniture, and the usual padding; a picture background reserves nothing. A wrapped heading makes the group taller and the group recenters. A group that already fills the free area is not moved. Accepted line and outline origins move with the boxes. Explicit heading `alignment` positions ink inside the box and never changes the vertical position. A flowed image is body, so image slides keep the top-aligned content origin; a placed image is not. Content slides are not affected: headings stay at the top and the body follows them. This is a reference-engine default, not a schema field.\n\nContent that exceeds the number of preset placeholders reflows together; it is not drawn over already-bound content.\n\n### Placeholder groups in layout records (FA-26)\n\nA layout record's placeholder may be a group: `{ \"type\": \"group\", \"composition\": { \u2026 }, \"placeholders\": [ \u2026 ] }`. The group arranges its own regions inside one cell of the record's composition, with the semantics of a content group: its `composition` is the same `Composition` object, only `minFontSize` and `overflow` inherit from the enclosing level, `padding` defaults to 0 and `gap` is a fraction of the group's short edge. Groups hold body regions and groups only (the headings stay at the record's top level, and only a top-level image placeholder carries a `placement`), and they nest at most three levels inside a record (`MAX_PLACEHOLDER_GROUP_DEPTH`); the schema rejects a fourth level, `validate` reports it as `opf/layout-placeholder-group`, and `composeSlide` refuses it.\n\n```json\n{ \"name\": \"Stacked text, chart right\", \"composition\": { \"mode\": \"row\", \"weights\": [2, 3] },\n  \"placeholders\": [{ \"type\": \"title\" },\n    { \"type\": \"group\", \"composition\": { \"mode\": \"column\" }, \"placeholders\": [{ \"type\": \"text\" }, { \"type\": \"text\" }] },\n    { \"type\": \"chart\" }] }\n```\n\nSlide content stays flat. Its root nodes (the `blocks`, or the root payloads) fill the record's leaf regions in reading order, depth first and in array order (`layoutLeaves(record)`), the way they fill a flat record's placeholders: kinds are what pickers match on (`layoutContent` counts leaves), composition does not reorder content to match them. Content beyond the last leaf flows at the root after the record's entries. An unfilled region keeps its cell only where its container sets no `mode`, as a flat record's top-level placeholders do. A slide's own `composition` overrides the record's root composition per key and leaves the groups' own compositions alone; a slide that brings its own content groups, or uses promoted regions, keeps its own structure (the record's root composition and slot count still apply). Record groups draw nothing and have no slide path, so they record no `groups`, `flows` or explanation entries; instead `geometry.slots` lists every body placeholder of the record (`path` such as `layout.placeholders.1.placeholders.0`, `type`, `depth`, its cell `box`, and the `content` path that fills it), empty regions and groups included, for editors that show slots. `layoutStructure(record)` summarizes a record for pickers (`title, column (text, text), chart`). Pagination composes each page through the same groups, applying its readability floor to a group's own `minFontSize`. Promoted regions keep the 3\xD73 vocabulary, including standalone `top`, `middle`, and `bottom`. They ignore flow direction and track weights. They are composed in visual reading order (rows from top to bottom, then along the row; `visualReadingOrder`), not in key order, so the composed item order, the preview's draw order, the PPTX shape order and the reading order of assistive technology agree. The order is computed from the logical region cells, so a right-to-left deck reads the same logical order.\n\nEvery shared `design` key resolves with one merge, per key: the slide's `design`, then the deck's `design`, then the slide's layout record `design`, then the engine default (`resolveDesignHints`; the result is `SlideComposition.design`). Two design hints shape the root arrangement. `design.contentDirection` (slide design, deck design, then the layout record's own) sets the root mode, `vertical` as `column` and `horizontal` as `row`, when neither the slide nor its layout record sets a `composition.mode`; it ranks with the layout record's `design.contentDirection`, above automatic selection, regions and nested groups are untouched, and the decision keeps `reason: 'configured-mode'`. `design.chartPrimary` (slide, deck, then the layout record's `design.chartPrimary`) is sugar for a placeholder group (`chartPrimaryLayout(side, kinds)` returns the record it stands for, and composition fills that record's group); it applies when the slide sets no `composition.mode` of its own and the root nodes mix at least one chart with other content: the first chart becomes a primary track and the other nodes form one synthetic sub-grid arranged in `auto` mode, a two-track row for `left`/`right` or column for `top`/`bottom`, weighted 3:2 in favor of the chart, with explicit root `columns`/`weights` and the record's own placeholder groups ignored; the synthetic container has no path and records no group, flow or decision, and the root decision reports `reason: 'chart-primary'`. On cover slides `geometry.logo` places the primary organization's full logo (or the `design.logo` override) above the centered heading group. [Design resolution](design-resolution.md#brand-assets-and-layout-hints) states the precedence, the logo shape and background selection, picture bullets and the accent font, with the vetoable decisions.\n\n## Shared headers and footers\n\nPublished core 0.11.0 exposes `layoutFurniture(slide, options)` and `geometry.furniture`, separate from body `items`. Composition identifies the available-space policy as `grid-score-v9`. Raw callers pass the presentation as `options.presentation`, resolved dimensions/fonts and the same measurement provider used by preview. `slideIndex` identifies source paths; optional `slideNumber` is the one-based displayed number.\n\nThe core resolver honors whole local header/footer overrides, including `false` and empty objects. Each zone retains its image and all configured text fields in source-aware parts. Literal text and dates preserve whitespace and empty strings. A zone logo reference (`var:organization.logo.icon`) to an organization without a logo, missing socials, or `date: true` without a host-supplied current date, produces `unresolved-content`; the implementation never consults a clock or invents source text.\n\nGenerated values are variables inside a zone's `text` (FA-31): `{{organization.name}}`, `{{speaker.name}}, {{speaker.title}}` and the other deck-wide built-ins resolve with `resolveVariables` before composition, and the slide-scoped `{{slide.number}}` (the displayed number), `{{slide.section}}` (the slide's `section`, empty when it has none) and `{{deck.slideCount}}` (the displayed slide count: `options.slideCount`, else `presentation.slides.length`; whole-deck pagination iterates to the final page count) resolve in `layoutFurniture` for the slide it lays out. One `text` holds several values in the author's order, with `\\n` between lines (`\"{{organization.name}}\\n{{slide.section}}\"`, `\"Page {{slide.number}} of {{deck.slideCount}}\"`). An escaped `\\{{slide.number}}` draws as the literal token. Every zone `text` is one part with `field: 'text'` and `sourcePath` at the authored text. `dateFormat` is an LDML-style pattern (`yyyy`, `yy`, `MMMM`, `MMM`, `MM`, `M`, `dd`, `d`, `EEEE`, `EEE`, quoted literals) with fixed English month and weekday names. A string `date` with `dateFormat` must be an ISO `YYYY-MM-DD` date and renders as fixed, generated text tied to that source value; without `dateFormat` a date string stays literal and editable. `date: true` is the current date: hosts pass today's ISO date as `options.date` (composition, pagination, renderer and exporter), and the default pattern is `M/d/yyyy`. Text parts expose `fields`: one `{ type: 'slideNumber', start, end }` per substituted `{{slide.number}}` and one `{ type: 'date', start, end, format }` for a whole current date, as half-open UTF-16 ranges into the part's `text`, so exporters can write native live fields while `{{deck.slideCount}}`, `{{slide.section}}` and fixed dates stay fixed text. `formatFurnitureDate()` is exported for hosts. All configured fields in one zone sit side by side in one row, in the order image, text, socials, date (see the row geometry below). An organization logo is `image: \"var:organization.logo.icon\"` (or any shape and organization): `layoutFurniture` resolves it for the slide's background and the image part keeps the reference in `reference` (see [design resolution](design-resolution.md#brand-assets-and-layout-hints)). Hiding furniture on a title slide is the slide-level `design.header: false` / `design.footer: false` override.\n\nThe slide-scoped built-ins work in body text too. Engines compose and draw the slide `resolveSlideContext(deck, index, { slideNumber, slideCount })` returns as `context.slide` (`resolveSlideVariables(slide, { slideNumber, slideCount, presentation, darkBackground })` substitutes them in the slide's own strings and resolves its organization logo references for the background, leaving its own header and footer to `layoutFurniture`), with the same numbers in `context.options`, so body text is measured and drawn with the real value. `paginate` measures continuation pages with the substituted values but returns the slides with the tokens kept, never splitting a page inside a token, and runs its slide-count fixed point whenever `{{deck.slideCount}}` appears in the deck.\n\n`socials: true` (core 0.11.1 and later) generates one `socials` part from the primary organization's `organization.socials`. The part has one source line per platform, in key order, and a parallel `links` array (`platform`, `text`, `href`, `resolved`, `sourcePath`). `resolveSocialProfile(platform, value, owner)` formats each value without network access, through the engine's social-platform vocabulary (`SOCIAL_PLATFORMS`, [`engine-vocabularies.json`](../spec/reference/engine-vocabularies.json)). A handle loses its `handlePrefix` and is substituted into `companyUrlPattern`, then `profileUrlPattern`, then `baseUrl/{handle}`; the result is shown as that URL without `https://`. A URL value passes through unchanged except that `https://` is dropped from the display. A key outside the vocabulary (the schema rejects one) is shown raw with no link, which is the Socials engine fallback. No catalog is involved: the Socials keys are an engine vocabulary. A missing organization, or one with no non-empty socials, produces `unresolved-content`. Speaker socials, platform icons, brand colors and slide-size presets are not rendered.\n\n`furniture-flow-v2` gives each left/center/right zone 26% of the canvas width. **Zones lay out in a row (RR-71, vetoable).** A zone's parts sit side by side in the order image, text, socials, date (in a right-to-left deck the row runs from the right, the image at the start edge), `FURNITURE_GAP` (12 reference pixels at a 720-pixel short edge) apart, the row flush with the zone's left edge, centered, or flush with its right edge, and each part vertically centered on the row's tallest part. `\n` still breaks lines inside a text or socials part. With other parts, a text part's box is as wide as its longest line; a zone with a lone text part keeps the whole zone width (it wraps there, as before). When the row is wider than the zone, its text parts share what the images and gaps leave: a part narrower than an equal share keeps its width and the others wrap at the share; beside other parts an image is at most `FURNITURE_IMAGE_SHARE` (40%) of the zone's width, and a word that would break inside itself at the readability floor (letters or digits of a space-separated script on both sides of a soft break) is a `text-overflow` diagnostic at the part's text path, never a silent break. The tallest row sets the natural band height; rows start at the band's top edge. Text uses at least the selected readability floor, with complete accepted source lines and optional measured outline placement. Header and footer bands reserve room before heading and body allocation. Irreducible text, conflicting bands or a heading displaced beyond the remaining space produce diagnostics; strict composition rejects them. An image part (`type: 'image'`) alone in its zone aligns like the zone's text: its `box` is as wide as the image's own proportions make it at the band height (a 36 px band at 1280 px wide), at most the zone, flush with the zone's left edge in the left zone, centered in the center zone and flush with its right edge in the right zone, at the same vertical position as before; consumers fit the image inside `box`. Core reads the proportions without fetching, from an embedded PNG, JPEG, GIF, WebP or SVG data URI or an `asset:` reference to one, decoding only a bounded prefix of the payload (64 KiB, 1 MiB for a JPEG whose frame header sits behind large metadata) and memoizing per source, so a multi-megabyte logo costs nothing per slide; a JPEG whose header is past 1 MiB, an SVG whose root tag is past 64 KiB, a path or a URL is unreadable is placed in a square box (vetoable), so a wide image behind a path or URL is drawn small and flush to its zone edge until it is embedded. No-furniture body geometry remains unchanged.\n\nPagination repeats these fields without putting them among body slices. An optional `page.repeatedMappings` records repeated heading/furniture and metadata paths while the existing `page.mappings` retains its body-fragment contract. Whole-deck pagination evaluates final output numbers, including preceding continuation pages, and rejects unresolved repeated content atomically. Renderer and editor reuse the accepted parts; literal text/date fields, including empty values, support direct canvas editing and undo. Generated labels remain tied to metadata.\n\nPublished PPTX (0.9.1 and later, current 0.13.2) draws the accepted editable text boxes and fitted images and records furniture provenance in tagged slide shapes. Reimport uses current native text and images; damaged or ambiguous provenance retains visible content with diagnostics. The [fresh installed-package evidence](evidence/shipped-train-20260921/installed/acceptance-summary.json) includes deterministic export, current-content reimport controls and offline canvas editing/undo. Native PowerPoint acceptance, font compatibility and full visual review remain separate gates; the published PPTX (through 0.11.7) is not native `p:hf` Header/Footer support. On [opf-pptx main](https://github.com/OpenPresentation/opf-pptx) (RR-11, unreleased) the first footer text, date and slide number that fit one accepted line become real PowerPoint `ftr`, `dt` and `sldNum` placeholders at exactly this geometry, with master/layout placeholders and `p:hf` flags (see [native header and footer](https://github.com/OpenPresentation/opf-pptx/blob/main/docs/native-header-footer.md)); header parts, organization, section, socials, images and multi-line text stay tagged shapes because PowerPoint has no object for them. No core geometry or schema changed. Bounds/readability checks do not certify whole-slide design quality: long labels can wrap heavily in portrait zones, and outline agreement does not establish native font identity.\n\n## Footnote areas and caption bands\n\nRR-34 (core after 0.11.4) adds two reserved regions that exist only for decks that use the fields. A slide whose runs carry `cite` or `footnote` markers gets `geometry.footnotes` (`footnote-area-v1`): a rule and the slide's notes in number order, directly above the footer band (or the bottom padding) with the content area's left edge and width, in the body family at the furniture size; the content area shrinks by exactly the area's height plus half the slide gap, and nothing above it moves. The area takes at most 35% of the span between the heading top and the footer band; a note that does not fit reports `text-overflow` at its source path (`references.N` or the run's path), which pagination treats like any other fit overflow. `slideCitations(slide, slideIndex, presentation)` is the numbering `composeSlide` uses; pass the same `presentation` and `slideIndex` to every consumer. An `image`, `chart`, `table` or `video` payload with a `caption` reserves a caption band inside its region (`item.caption`; `item.box` becomes the media box), below or above the media, at most 35% of the region; automatic grid selection scores the leaf on its media box. See [footnotes, citations and captions](footnotes-citations-captions.md).\n\n## Backgrounds and placed images\n\nCore 0.15 composes pictures in two ways (FA-22); [images](image-treatments.md) has the full vocabulary.\n\n- A picture background (the slide's `design.background`, then the deck's, then the theme's, when it is `{ type: \"image\", ... }` or an image-source string) is `geometry.backgroundImage`: the whole canvas as its frame, `fit` (`cover`, `contain`, `stretch`, `tile`), `focus`, `opacity`, `recolor` and the overlay box (whole picture or an edge band). It never moves content. `resolveSlideContext` passes the theme's background as `ComposeSlideOptions.themeBackground`.\n- Every image item carries `item.image`: the frame inside its region, `fit` (the block's own, else the effective `design.imageFit`, else `cover`), `focus`, the mask with its DrawingML preset and SVG outline, line, opacity, recolor and overlay. `fitImage(frame, fit, aspect, focus)` is the shared fit math; core fills `item.image.picture` itself when it can read the picture's proportions (a data URI, or an `asset:` reference to one).\n\nA top-level image block with `placement: { edge, size, inset }`, or the slide's n-th top-level image when the layout's n-th image placeholder carries a placement, takes a band along that slide edge: `size` of the slide width (left, right) or height (top, bottom), default 0.5, edge to edge, or inside the slide padding with `inset`. Headings, footnotes and the body compose in the free area that remains, with the usual padding; header and footer bands keep their full-width placement. Bands are taken in block order and each spans the free area the earlier ones left; a second block on a used edge flows as content (the validator reports it). Placed items are listed after the headings and before the flowed body, and their placeholder slot is not reserved in the flow. A slide whose only body is placed images is composed like a cover. A right-to-left deck mirrors `left` and `right`.\n## Nested groups\n\n### Shared content cards\n\nShared content cards are published in core 0.10.0 and later, including current core 0.17.0. For `design.contentBox: true`, each body leaf carries a `frameBox` at its outer allocation and a `box` padded inward by 12 reference pixels at a 720-pixel short edge, capped at one quarter of the frame's width or height. Scoring, accepted payload measurement, strict overflow and pagination all use that rounded interior. Headings remain unframed, nested groups keep their original padding, and explicit outer regions/track weights remain authoritative. Automatic candidates may change because their available content space changes.\n\nEvery composed item carries its resolved horizontal text `alignment` (`left`, `center` or `right`). The title uses `titleAlignment`; every other item, including subtitle, tag, body text, lists, tables and metrics, uses `contentAlignment`. The value is the effective `design` key: the slide's design, then the deck's design (or the host option), then the layout record's `design`, then `left`, so a layout that sets `contentAlignment: center` centers its content with no deck or slide value. The title never inherits `contentAlignment`. A cover (a slide with no body payload on a heading-only layout) has no content region, so its tag and subtitle join the title's alignment: they follow `titleAlignment`, and only a `contentAlignment` set on the slide's own design keeps them apart (a deck or layout value does not). Accepted outline placement and metric internals use the same value. The renderer and the PPTX exporter anchor preview and native text to `item.alignment`, so both engines place a layout's text the same way.\n\nRaw composition callers pass their resolved deck flag as `composeSlide(slide, {contentBox: effectiveDesign.contentBox, ...options})`; a slide's explicit `design.contentBox: false` overrides it. Coordinated renderer, editor and whole-presentation pagination resolve this option for their callers. Consumers draw at `frameBox` and use the accepted `box` and payload internals without another inset. Core 0.9.0 predates this behavior. Content cards do not make the incomplete chart/timeline density models complete or certify native raster fidelity.\n\nA block or promoted region can contain its own `blocks` and `composition`. The optional discriminator is `\"type\": \"group\"`. A group has at least one child and cannot mix children with leaf fields such as `text` or `image`.\n\n```json\n{\n  \"composition\": { \"mode\": \"row\", \"weights\": [2, 1] },\n  \"blocks\": [\n    {\n      \"composition\": { \"mode\": \"column\", \"padding\": 0.02 },\n      \"blocks\": [{ \"text\": \"Recommendation\" }, { \"text\": \"Supporting evidence\" }]\n    },\n    { \"text\": \"Context\" }\n  ]\n}\n```\n\nThe parent allocates a box to each group, then the group arranges its children inside that box. Group padding defaults to zero; padding and gap use the group's shorter edge. Only `minFontSize` and `overflow` inherit. A strict ancestor cannot be weakened by a child's `overflow: \"warn\"`. Font sizes remain relative to the canvas, not the group. Groups can nest up to 32 levels; cycles and deeper nesting fail with an explicit error.\n\nAutomatic grid scoring inspects descendant text using each descendant's explicit arrangement or geometric automatic seed. After selecting the parent's grid, it optimizes each child's automatic grid. This deterministic, bounded search avoids exponential combinations; it does not claim a globally optimal packing.\n\n`result.items` contains every leaf with its full source path and effective composition. `result.groups` contains group paths, outer bounds, and content bounds. The editor's `setGroupComposition(path, value)` validates and records undo/redo just like slide composition edits.\n\n## Inspecting and repairing layout\n\n```js\nimport { composeSlide } from '@openpresentation/opf/composition';\nconst result = composeSlide(deck.slides[0], { width: 1280, height: 720, layout: resolvedLayout });\nconsole.log(result.items);       // Source paths, content, geometry, and text estimates\nconsole.log(result.diagnostics); // Path-specific text-overflow and small-cell messages\n```\n\nThis pure function expects a validated slide. The caller resolves catalog records and passes the canvas size, `fontFamilies` and `textMeasurement`; `resolveSlideContext(deck, index, { fonts })` from the package root does the catalog resolution for one slide of a deck and returns those options, plus the slide to pass (`context.slide`, with the slide-scoped built-ins substituted). The rendering and export packages perform those steps at their boundaries. No network, DOM, system font, or AI dependency is required.\n\n### Explain automatic selection (core 0.8.0 and later)\n\nPass `explain: true` to return `result.explanation`. This opt-in API requires core 0.8.0; it is absent from core 0.7.0. Enabling explanations adds no measurement calls and does not change geometry, source content, reading order, weights or selected arrangements within the same engine version.\n\n```js\nconst result = composeSlide(slide, {...resolvedOptions, explain: true});\nfor (const decision of result.explanation.decisions) {\n  console.log(decision.path, decision.reason, decision.selectedColumns);\n  console.table(decision.candidates);\n}\nconsole.log(result.explanation.textMeasurement);\nconsole.log(result.explanation.unmeasuredPayloads);\n```\n\n`resolvedOptions` supplies the same dimensions, layout, fonts and optional width provider as the preview. Core 0.8.0 identifies its explanation as `grid-score-v2`; core 0.9.0 advances to `grid-score-v3` to include complete code metadata/body measurements. Current core 0.17.0 reports `grid-score-v9`. These versions record containers in parent-before-child order. `lowest-score` reports the candidates actually tried; `configured-mode` respects resolved row/column/grid intent and returns no invented candidates. `promoted-regions` leaves region placement fixed and has no selected column count. Empty slides have no decisions. Automatic search tries one through `min(slotCount, columns ?? 6)` columns, in ascending order; ties retain the first candidate. Reserved placeholders count as slots. The schema caps an explicit candidate limit at twelve columns.\n\nEach candidate has `columns`, `rows`, `score` and additive `penalties`:\n\n| Penalty | Rule |\n| --- | --- |\n| `cellProportions` | Sum of `abs(log(cellAspect / 1.6))` for descendant leaves |\n| `fontReduction` | Reduction from 25 reference pixels for text-like leaves; current quote/code/metric/timeline layouts sum requested-minus-fitted sizes across their parts, divided by canvas scale |\n| `textOverflow` | 1,000 per overflowing text-like leaf or complete quote/code/metric/timeline payload, regardless of the number of internal failure reasons |\n| `tableOverflow` | 1,000 per table whose shared cell layout overflows |\n| `smallCells` | 100 per leaf narrower than 100 or shorter than 60 reference pixels |\n| `emptySlots` | 2 per unused position in the candidate grid's final row |\n\nScores are preference costs, not quality percentages or guarantees. Floating-point summation can make the component total differ slightly from `score`. Parent scoring uses descendant explicit arrangements or geometric automatic seeds; child automatic grids are optimized only after selecting the parent. Candidate scores therefore describe the bounded search, not a full assessment of the final optimized subtree. Heading fit remains in ordinary diagnostics, outside body-grid scoring. A strict-fit rejection exposes the explanation on `OPFCompositionError` when requested.\n\n`textMeasurement` is `estimated` without a provider and `provided` with one. A provided width function does not establish font provenance, glyph coverage, shaping or native raster fidelity. Text, rich text, lists, quotes, table cells and code in core 0.9 participate in the fit model. Current core 0.11.0 also measures metric and timeline parts; its `unmeasuredPayloads` identifies images, video and charts whose complete internal layout is not assessed. Core 0.8 reports code as incomplete; core 0.9 measures its filename/language/body and insets. Media aspect ratios, chart labels and complete timeline visual density still require inspection. A zero score or empty diagnostics is not proof that those payloads fit.\n\nExplanations expose the search for inspection and do not silently paginate or rewrite a document. Published editor 0.8.0 provides guarded track resizing, block moves, creation/removal and explicit pagination with preview/undo. A general automatic repair loop, automatic weight allocation, complete payload-internal measurement, CLI explanations and a canvas **Auto arrange** preview/undo operation remain open work; the **Arrange** controls below are explicit human adjustments.\n\nWith `overflow: \"warn\"` (default), the result retains all text and returns diagnostics. SVG emits all lines and marks overflowing groups with `data-opf-overflow=\"true\"`; text may extend beyond its box or canvas. Consumers can collect diagnostics using `onDiagnostic`. With `overflow: \"error\"`, the layout rejects content that does not fit. Shorten the affected content, give it more space, or explicitly split it into another slide. Use the explicit pagination transform below to produce additional editable slides.\n\nThe editor exposes `editor.composeSlide(index)` and `editor.setComposition(index, value)`. The latter validates the change, records JSON Patch history, and supports undo/redo.\n\n## Pagination\n\n```js\nimport { paginateSlide, paginate } from '@openpresentation/opf/pagination';\nconst { presentation, pages } = paginate(deck);\n// Review, save, render, or export `presentation`; pages maps output fragments to source paths.\nconst single = paginateSlide(deck.slides[0], { width: 1280, height: 720, minFontSize: 24 });\n```\n\nPagination is an authoring operation. It produces ordinary OPF slides; previews and PPTX export consume those exact pages. It preserves the input, body order, nested groups, promoted regions, rich-text formatting, and source text characters. Plain text and rich runs split at grapheme boundaries, preferring sentence/paragraph breaks and then word breaks. Lists split between items, tables between rows with column labels repeated, and code splits without rewriting its source. Indivisible payloads remain intact. Existing track weights continue to apply to positions on each resulting page.\n\nThe default readability target is 24 reference pixels. Core 0.8.0 returns slides that persist that floor in `composition.minFontSize`, including an already-fitting one-page result; existing higher minima and strict overflow policies remain intact. Quotes can raise their nominal body/footer sizes to the floor. Current core 0.11.0 enforces the selected floor in shared plain/rich/list/table fitting, including painted rich fragments, while retaining authored style metadata. Unsupported fits report overflow rather than silently capping output below the floor. The [readability-floor checkpoint](plans/readability-floor.md) records the earlier candidate and its bounded-search tradeoffs. Pagination relies on the shared engine's estimates; it is not a guarantee that every host font renders identically. Headings repeat unchanged, speaker notes remain on the first page, and continuation IDs avoid existing deck IDs. `pages[].mappings` records full source/output paths and half-open text or item ranges. Text offsets use UTF-16, so source strings can be reconstructed exactly. Quote bodies split at grapheme boundaries and repeat complete attribution/source fields on each page. An irreducible footer rejects the whole operation, including a quote with an empty body after earlier content.\n\nIf a heading, individual list item, table row, or other atomic payload cannot fit on an otherwise empty page, `OPFPaginationError` returns actionable diagnostics. There is no partial output. `maxSlides` defaults to 100, and a layout-evaluation limit bounds work on pathological input. Specialized chart and timeline internals still require visual inspection; their complete density models remain outstanding.\n\nThe editor's `editor.paginateSlide(index)` is one validated transaction with undo/redo. It returns `{change, pagination}`. Editor 0.5.0 commits a one-page readability-policy change too; repeating the operation after the policy is recorded returns `change: null`. The playground includes an overflowing draft and **Split overflow** action. The CLI writes a new file and refuses to overwrite an existing one:\n\n```sh\nopf paginate input.opf.json output.opf.json\n```\n\n## Right-to-left decks\n\nWhen the presentation `language` is written right to left (Arabic, Hebrew, Syriac, Thaana and the other right-to-left scripts) or the host passes `direction: 'rtl'`, `composeSlide` mirrors the composition and reports each paragraph's direction; `SlideComposition.direction` is `'rtl'`. The first column and the `left` region are drawn at the right, banded slide images, cover logos and header/footer zones swap sides, lists put their markers at the right, tables run right to left, and `TextFit.directions` gives the direction of the paragraph each line belongs to. Alignment is logical: the authored `left` is the start edge, drawn at the right edge of a right-to-left paragraph (`physicalAlignment`). A left-to-right deck composes exactly as before. The rules and the PPTX mapping are in [Layout direction](programs/font-fidelity-everywhere/script-font-model.md#layout-direction-rr-05).\n\n## Fidelity boundary\n\nThe shared engine provides identical body and heading geometry to SVG and editable PPTX export. Text measurements default to deterministic estimates. For actual font advances, use the shared provider described in [measured fonts](font-fidelity.md). Complex scripts, fallback fonts, PowerPoint text rendering, rich text, charts, tables, and images still need visual verification. Dynamic composition is not a guarantee of pixel-identical PowerPoint output. List density includes rich runs, descriptions and nesting via `fitList`, with the same hanging indents used in preview and export. Only text-like payloads currently receive content-density estimates; small-cell diagnostics also cover non-text content.\n\nSVG embeds raster data URI images locally. Remote and file images require a host resolver that supplies a raster data URI; otherwise they appear as placeholders. `strictAssets` rejects unresolved images. The runtime never fetches them.\n\nSee [the complete example](../examples/technical/dynamic-composition.opf.json) and [local ecosystem verification](ecosystem-development.md).\n\n\n## Preview polish shared by preview and export (RR-07)\n\nThree accepted spec fields used to be drawn plain; core now owns the shared tables so the SVG preview and the PPTX export draw them identically. Consumers import them from `@openpresentation/opf`; none changes geometry, and an older core simply leaves the preview and the export plain, without a new diagnostic.\n\n- **Code syntax colours.** `tokenizeCode(source, language)` returns sorted, non-overlapping token ranges (`keyword`, `string`, `number`, `comment`, `function`, `type`, `property`) over the exact `code.source`; `codeLineRuns(tokens, start, end, source?)` clips them to one accepted source line, so concatenating the runs returns the line unchanged (a tab is always its own plain run). The scanner is deterministic and dependency-free (no network, clock or locale). `code.language` resolves through aliases (`ts`, `tsx`, `py`, `sh`, `yml`, `c++`, `terraform`, and so on) to `javascript`, `typescript`, `python`, `rust`, `go`, `bash`, `json`, `yaml`, `toml`, `ini`, `html`/`xml`, `css`, `sql`, `java`, `csharp`, `kotlin`, `swift`, `ruby`, `php`, `c`/`cpp`, `hcl` and `dockerfile` (`resolveCodeLanguage`, `CODE_HIGHLIGHT_LANGUAGES`); any other language, a missing one, or source over 200,000 characters stays plain. `codeSyntaxPaletteForScheme(colorScheme)` gives one colour per kind from the deck theme (keyword = primary, string = accent, number = secondary; comment, function, type and property are fixed slate, blue, cyan and pink, rotated away from a theme colour they would collide with), each lightened until it is at least 4.5:1 on the #111827 code panel. The renderer nests coloured tspans inside each accepted segment tspan; PPTX writes the same colours as native runs in the same one-text-box-per-line shapes, so editing and import are unchanged. The language is not inferred from `code.filename`. `code.highlight` (1-based source lines and inclusive ranges) adds a band behind marked lines and dims the rest: `codeHighlightLines` resolves it against the source, `codeLineNumbers` numbers each displayed line (a wrapped line repeats its number), `codeHighlightBands` returns the runs of displayed lines to draw behind, and `codeHighlightColors(colorScheme)` gives the band and the marked/dimmed palettes, all at least 4.5:1 on what they sit on. The SVG band is one `rect` per run behind the line text; PPTX writes one native rectangle per run (`OPF code N highlight M`) after the panel and before the line text boxes, so the one-text-box-per-line shapes and the code provenance tags are unchanged.\n- **Metric trend.** A `metric.trend` (`up`, `down`, `flat`) keeps its word as the visible, editable text and gains one arrow: `metricTrendMark(layout, {background})` derives the arrow from the accepted trend line (square, 0.72 of the font size, on the baseline, 0.3 of the font size from the word; after the word for left alignment, before it for centre and right, and omitted if it would leave the field). The arrow is the DrawingML `upArrow`, `downArrow` or `rightArrow` preset at default adjustments (`metricTrendPoints` is the outline the preview draws), coloured by the metric's `sentiment`: positive green, negative red, neutral a neutral colour, kept at 4.5:1 or more against the slide background (`metricTrendColor`); the delta and trend text take the same colour. `layoutMetric` passes `sentiment` through as `MetricLayout.sentiment` (omitted when the metric has none) and `metricTrendMark` reads it, so the arrow direction always follows `trend` and only the colour follows `sentiment`. Absent, the sentiment is the conventional reading of the trend (up positive, down negative, flat neutral), which is the colour drawn before `sentiment` existed. A `sentiment` without a `trend` draws no arrow and colours nothing. The arrow carries the alternative text \"Trend: up\" (`aria-label` in SVG, `descr` in PPTX); the word and the arrow carry the direction, the colour the verdict.\n- **Pattern fills.** `PATTERN_PRESETS` lists the 54 ECMA-376 ST_PresetPatternVal names and `patternBitmap(preset)` / `patternRuns(preset)` give each as an 8 x 8 one-bit tile, one pixel per 1/96 inch, anchored at the slide's top-left, foreground where a bit is set (`diagStripe` still resolves to `wdUpDiag`). ECMA-376 names the presets but does not define their pixels: the tiles are measured from desktop PowerPoint (Office 365, Windows, 2026-10-01) by exporting each preset as a full-slide background to a 1280 x 720 PNG and voting every pixel into its (x mod 8, y mod 8) cell with opf-render `scripts/derive-pattern-bitmaps.mjs`. Every tile was uniform across all repeats (confidence 1.00) at one image pixel per pattern pixel, so a pattern pixel is one 1/96 inch unit, and the phase is the slide's top-left corner. The tool also reports any tile that later differs. PPTX already wrote every preset as native `a:pattFill`.\n\n## Metric internals (published coordinated packages)\n\nPublished core 0.11.0 exports `layoutMetric(value, box, options)` from `@openpresentation/opf/composition` (the package root no longer exports engine names). It accepts a finite number, string, or `{value, unit?, label?, description?, delta?, trend?, sentiment?}`. Renderer 0.9.0, editor 0.8.0 and PPTX 0.9.1 consume its shared geometry for composition, atomic pagination, preview, editing and export. Core 0.9.0 predates this API. The [primitive checkpoint](plans/shared-metric-layout.md) and [source integration checkpoint](plans/shared-metric-integration.md) record its development; current pins and remaining native/font gates are in the [compatibility matrix](compatibility-matrix.md).\n\nPass the allocated reference-pixel `box`, resolved heading/body `fontFamilies`, `textMeasurement`, canvas `scale`, effective `minFontSize`, source `path` and optional `overflow: 'error'`. `metric-flow-v1` returns separate value/unit/label/description/delta/trend parts in that order. Numeric zero is visible; scalar values keep the scalar path. Every provided field retains its original string or number in `sources[].value`. Source ranges address `String(value)` using UTF-16 offsets; the original spelling of a numeric JSON token is not available. No locale formatting, trend icon, case conversion or separator is invented. Empty optional strings retain source mappings with `visible: false`; the required empty value keeps a targetable blank line.\n\nThe allocator tries an adjacent value/unit baseline when both fit one line and the unit uses at most 35% of the cell width; otherwise it stacks the fields. Metadata has an eight-reference-pixel gap, with twelve pixels after the primary row. Related fields stay together rather than being separated by a percentage of the cell height. The value starts at up to 76 reference pixels (28% of cell height); label/unit/delta start at 23, description at 20 and trend at 18. Every requested size is raised to the chosen floor, scaled once. Natural metadata height gets space before reducing type. At most 48 arrangements are evaluated, each with at most 77 value-size trials; identical inputs and a deterministic measurement provider select the fitting candidate with least summed font reduction, preferring the first candidate on ties.\n\nEach part exposes requested/resolved styles and the same source-preserving line/segment representation used by code (`CodeTextFit`), measured with proportional heading/body fonts. CR/LF/CRLF, tabs, whitespace and grapheme boundaries remain exact. Consumers must reuse accepted line and segment positions, font sizes and styles rather than independently re-fit or normalize text. This API reports `provided` measurement when a provider is passed, without claiming that its glyph coverage or shaping is complete. Unsupported glyphs propagate the provider's error with the field path.\n\nPass `align: 'left' | 'center' | 'right'` (default left) to the primitive. Its returned `alignment` and per-part `linePositions` give an absolute x origin and baseline for each `fit.sourceLines` entry, including blank lines. An inline value/unit pair moves together, with the gap following the actual value advance. Composition accepts host-resolved `contentAlignment`; an explicit slide `design.contentAlignment` overrides it. Renderer/export/pagination pass the effective design into the same operation. Alignment does not trigger a second font fit.\n\nCheck `overflow` before consuming parts. Irreducible text, invalid available space, parts outside the cell and overlapping occupied line boxes return field-specific diagnostics; strict mode throws `OPFCompositionError`. Invalid available boxes retain their dimensions and have no fit. These are advance-based line rectangles, not glyph outlines: the controlled browser evidence separately records small glyph overhangs. The API is a bounded internal allocator, not the complete layout-repair/Auto arrange operation or a native export fidelity guarantee.\n\nCurrent `grid-score-v9` retains the metric scoring introduced by `grid-score-v4`: every metric part contributes font reduction, with one overflow penalty per failing metric leaf. `item.metricLayout` is measured against the rounded accepted cell; `item.text`/`item.textStyle` alias the value fit/style. Field diagnostics obey strict ancestor policies, while explicit modes/weights/regions remain authoritative. Metrics are excluded from the advance-model `unmeasuredPayloads` list. Explicit pagination retains metrics atomically with complete source types/metadata and rejects irreducible fields without returning partial output. The published train has [installed-package acceptance](evidence/shipped-train-20260921/installed/acceptance-summary.json), including metric provenance controls. That evidence does not establish native raster or font equivalence.\n\n## Code internals (core 0.9.0 and coordinated packages)\n\nCore 0.9.0 introduced `layoutCode(value, box, options)` for the schema's string shorthand or `{source, language?, filename?}` object. It returns measured filename/language/body parts with exact original text, requested/resolved styles, readability floors, available boxes and diagnostics. Its original integration targeted renderer/PPTX 0.7.0 and editor 0.6.0; the [release checkpoint](plans/shared-code-release.md) records that rollout. These contracts are published in the current core 0.11.0, renderer 0.9.0, PPTX 0.9.1 and editor 0.8.0 train. Core 0.8.0 predates this API and retains the [recorded code-label, filename and whitespace defects](plans/layout-repair.md).\n\n`grid-score-v3` charges code font reductions across all metadata/body parts and one overflow penalty per failing leaf. It preserves explicit modes, weights, regions and source order. Accepted `item.codeLayout` is fitted to the same rounded cell exposed as `item.box`; `item.text` and `item.textStyle` alias the body, not the first metadata part. Strict ancestor settings apply to internal `.source`, `.filename` and `.language` diagnostics. Code no longer appears in `explanation.unmeasuredPayloads`, which concerns the core advance-based model only. It does not mean browser/native fidelity is verified.\n\nPagination slices the code body at grapheme boundaries, repeats filename/language and returns contiguous UTF-16 body ranges while preserving all source bytes and the evaluated readability floor. Irreducible metadata rejects all output, including when the body is empty or earlier content could have fitted. Consumers must preview/export the returned document. The [integration checkpoint](plans/shared-code-integration.md) separates source, installed browser, Windows PowerPoint and remaining release gates.\n\nEach fitted part retains every space and explicit CR/LF/CRLF break. `fit.lines` contains exact source slices, and `fit.sourceLines` records half-open UTF-16 `start`, `end` and `nextStart` offsets, the measured width and a `soft`, `hard` or `end` boundary. A hard break occupies `[end, nextStart)`; soft wrapping consumes no source character. Joining `part.text.slice(line.start, line.nextStart)` reconstructs the original part. Blank lines and a final empty line are retained, and long tokens split only at grapheme boundaries. Filename and language text are not case-converted. An absent/empty metadata pair creates a generated `code` label with no source range.\n\n`code-flow-v1` uses 18-reference-pixel outer insets, an eight-pixel gap between filename and language, and a twelve-pixel gap before the body. Nominal metadata/body sizes are 14/18 reference pixels, raised when necessary to respect the selected minimum, then scaled once. At most four metadata nominal/floor combinations are tried; each body fit tries at most 19 sizes regardless of canvas scale. The fitting combination with least font reduction wins. Irreducible metadata/body failures retain all text and diagnostic paths; invalid available boxes have no fit. `overflow: 'error'` rejects rather than returning partial output.\n\nTabs remain literal characters in part text and displayed-line slices. Measurement advances to the next multiple of four measured spaces from that line's origin; `fit.tabSize` and `fit.tabWidth` expose the rule. Each source line's `segments` contains exact text/tab source ranges plus measured `x`/`width` values relative to its origin. Consumers must reuse those positions: an Edge probe showed that SVG treats a tab as one space despite CSS `tab-size: 4`. The published SVG renderer uses positioned spans and geometric precision; native export uses accepted tab stops. Width measurements and source preservation alone do not establish glyph-outline containment, shaping/bidi support or native fidelity. [Installed workflow evidence](evidence/shared-code-installed/summary.json) records the separate actual browser and native checks with their exact font/runtime scope.\n\nPublished native export stores source boundaries in standard PowerPoint shape tags. Complete unique groups recover exact code/source metadata, with current native text taking precedence. Missing, damaged or ambiguous groups retain visible native shapes and report diagnostics. Reimport does not reconstruct native formatting, positioning, font theme or readability policy. Eight installed-export wide/portrait slides pass native edit/save/reopen and all 24 original/saved/edited imports on the recorded Windows PowerPoint build; this is not arbitrary PowerPoint round-trip or pixel equivalence. The editor preserves untouched CRLF/CR source around edits and keeps committed preview geometry separate from its active native textarea caret.\n\nThe JSON schema can accept strings that [XML 1.0 cannot represent](https://www.w3.org/TR/xml/#charsets). Published SVG/PPTX code output rejects forbidden controls, unpaired UTF-16 surrogates, U+FFFE and U+FFFF with `invalid-code-text`, the source field path and UTF-16 offset in the message. The input stays unchanged; the caller can correct that character explicitly. Tabs, CR/LF/CRLF and valid supplementary characters remain accepted for serialization. Schema support, format representability and glyph coverage are separate properties.\n\nThe controlled SVG harness requests `text-rendering=\"geometricPrecision\"` as well as explicit segment placement. Initial Linux Chromium CI rounded glyph advances under default hinting, unlike Windows Edge with the same font bytes. The [SVG specification](https://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/painting.html#TextRenderingProperty) defines geometric precision as a rendering hint, so consumers still need actual browser checks with their exact fonts and supported environments; the hint alone does not certify agreement. The harness retains a 0.1-reference-pixel tolerance and records observations before assertions.\n\n## Quote internals (core 0.8.0 and coordinated packages)\n\nCore 0.8.0 exports `layoutQuote(value, box, options)` from the `@openpresentation/opf/composition` entrypoint. Pass validated quote content (object or string shorthand), its allocated reference-pixel box, resolved `fontFamilies`, `textMeasurement`, `scale` (canvas short edge / 720), effective `minFontSize`, `overflow` policy and its source `path`.\n\nThe result contains `parts` for the body and any nonempty footer, exact display `text`, source mappings, requested and resolved text styles, and the available boxes/fits. Source ranges use half-open UTF-16 offsets in both the source field and display string; generated quotation marks and the footer separator have no source range. The original content is never modified. A supplied width provider is reported as `provided`; it does not certify shaping or font fidelity.\n\nCheck `overflow` and `diagnostics` before accepting the parts. Invalid available dimensions remain visible with `fit` absent, and `overflow: 'error'` throws `OPFCompositionError`. Diagnostics distinguish invalid part space, parts outside their cell, text that exceeds its reserved space, and overlapping line rectangles. Those rectangles are conservative text-layout bounds, not measured glyph outlines. The readability floor is scaled once and can raise the nominal body (28) or footer (17) size; it is never silently capped below the selected floor.\n\n`quote-flow-v1` keeps 18-reference-pixel outer insets and an 18-pixel body/footer gap while fonts scale with the canvas. A 40-pixel footer is a whitespace preference. The allocator expands it for long sources or compacts it for dense bodies, trying at most the nominal and minimum footer sizes and selecting the fitting pair with least total font reduction. If neither fits, it returns floor-size failure diagnostics. This is a bounded internal allocation step, not a complete layout-repair engine.\n\n`composeSlide` scores both parts and accepts geometry against the final rounded item box. Each quote item carries `quoteLayout`; its compatibility `text` field is the same fit object as the quote body, including generated quotation marks. Consumers needing original offsets must use the explicit `sources` mappings. The coordinated renderer and PPTX consume these parts without another measurement/style-resolution pass. Missing geometry or invalid part boxes reject rendering/export rather than omitting content. This requires core 0.8.0 with renderer/PPTX 0.6.0; older core 0.7.0/renderer 0.5.1/PPTX 0.5.2 lack these changes. The complete published set, immutable verification refs and fresh registry evidence are recorded in `release-plan.json` and [the release plan](plans/shared-quote-release.md).\n\nBrowser glyph bounds can extend slightly beyond advance-based part boxes into the reserved inset. Current loaded-font tests record those overhangs, verify glyph containment inside the full quote cell and check body/footer separation. Native PowerPoint fixtures separately verify text, sizes, cell containment, save/reopen and reimport. Neither test establishes universal pixel equivalence. Original requested-font provenance through host substitutions and non-quote payload internals remain open requirements.\n\n### Quote role and photo (FA-12)\n\n`QuoteContent` also takes `role` and `photo`. The footer text is the attribution, then `role` after a line break, then `source` after ` - `; each field keeps its own source mapping (`<path>.role`). Without a `role` the footer text is unchanged. A `photo` (an `Asset` value) adds `QuoteLayout.photo`: `{path, value, box, shape}`, where `shape` is the circle mask of `imageShape('circle', box)` (DrawingML `ellipse` and the same outline as an SVG path). The diameter is three times the footer font size and the gap beside it three quarters of that size, so the allocator picks the footer size (nominal or the readability floor) with the photo in the footer height and the footer text in the remaining width. The photo sits at the start edge of the inset area: the left, or the right when `options.direction` is `rtl`, where the footer text is its mirror. The text block is centered on the photo. A photo whose height cannot fit at the floor adds the `photo-fit` diagnostic reason (and `overflow`); a photo with no footer text still draws. Without a photo `layoutQuote` returns exactly what it returned before, with no `photo` key. The renderer and the PPTX exporter draw `photo` from the result and do not recompute it.\n\n## Timeline internals\n\n`layoutTimeline(value, box, options)` (`timeline-flow-v1`) places an optional name and description, then the events as a marker on a connector with each event's `when`, `what` and `description` as separate text parts. It tries an alternating arrangement (labels above and below a horizontal connector) and a vertical one (a marker rail down the start edge, labels beside it), at most 50 candidates in all, and keeps the first that fits or the one with the fewest diagnostics. Right-to-left decks put the vertical rail on the right edge.\n\n### Event status (FA-11)\n\n`TimelineEvent.status` is `done`, `current` or `planned`. It is a progress state that the engines draw from the deck's own colors without judging it; schedule health (at risk, blocked) is deliberately not a status. Layout copies the status to `TimelineLayout.markers[i].status` and to each of that event's text parts (`TimelineTextPart.status`), and `timelineMarkerShapes(marker, colors)` and `timelineTextColor(part, colors)` turn it into the shapes and text color that both engines draw:\n\n| Status | Marker | Text |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| absent | A filled circle in the primary color. | Normal text color. |\n| `done` | The same filled circle, so it looks like an event without a status. | Normal text color. |\n| `current` (\"we are here\") | The filled circle inside a ring: a circle 1.6 times the marker's radius with a primary-color outline over the slide background. | The label (`what`) is bold, in the normal text color. |\n| `planned` | A hollow-looking circle of the marker's radius: a primary-color outline filled with the slide background. | All of the event's text is the muted secondary text color. |\n\n- **Geometry.** A marker's `radius` is the radius of its ellipse, for every status. A `current` marker also has `ring.radius`, exactly 1.6 times `radius`, and a `current` or `planned` marker has the `strokeWidth` of its outline (2 reference pixels at 720, at most half the radius). The drawn and exported ellipses have exactly these radii, so every ellipse of a deck has the same size for the same radius (a done, planned and unset marker are the same size); an outline is centered on its ellipse's edge and reaches half a stroke beyond it, and the cell check and the vertical rail count that half stroke. A ring that leaves the cell is reported as a `event-space` diagnostic like any marker. In the vertical arrangement a deck with a `current` event moves the rail and the text out by the ring's extra width so the text keeps its usual distance from the marker. Events without a status produce exactly the geometry and no extra keys they did before.\n- **Hollow means background-filled.** The outline of a hollow marker and the ring are drawn over the slide background color (in the SVG as the fill, in PPTX as a solid fill of the same color) so the connector does not cross them.\n- **Colors.** `timelineTextColor` returns `mutedText` for a planned event, lightened or darkened until it reaches 4.5:1 against the slide background (`TIMELINE_TEXT_MIN_CONTRAST`), and the normal text color otherwise. Outlines and rings are kept at 3:1 (`TIMELINE_OUTLINE_MIN_CONTRAST`); the filled marker keeps the primary color exactly.\n- **Bold label.** The weight is part of the layout, not a drawing detail: the `what` part of a `current` event is requested at weight 700, so line breaks and heights were measured bold.\n- **PPTX.** The marker is a native `ellipse` (solid primary fill for `done`, `current` and no status; background fill plus a primary line for `planned`), the ring is a second native `ellipse` (background fill plus a primary line), the bold label is a bold run, and planned text takes the muted color. The exporter records each event's status in the marker's `OPF_TIMELINE_V1` tag and the ring in a tag of its own, and the importer restores `status` from them; a deck whose marker or ring was edited away imports as ordinary text without status, like the rest of the timeline provenance. Status is also written in Markdown as a task-list prefix on the event line: `[x]` done, `[>]` current, `[ ]` planned.\n\n## Resizing in the preview\n\nChoose **Arrange** in the editor to reveal track dividers. Drag a divider to redistribute the space between adjacent columns (row/grid) or rows (column), including nested groups. Arrow keys make small changes; Shift makes larger changes. Escape discards a pointer draft. One drag creates one undo step, and no content is removed. Strict overflow rejects a resize that violates its fit constraints.\n\nResizing an automatic layout makes its chosen columns explicit as `mode: grid` with `columns`. This prevents the number of columns from changing under the pointer. The adjacent share clamps to 5\u201395%, with positive schema-valid weights. Other track proportions and unrelated document fields remain intact. Promoted regions retain their positions; their nested groups can still be resized. Layouts with reserved placeholder slots need an explicit arrangement first. Flows with more than twelve tracks need grouping before the current resize controls can express all weights.\n\n`createCanvasEditor(container, {layoutEditing: true, ...options})` enables dividers initially. `canvas.setLayoutEditing(boolean)` toggles them, and `canvas.commit()` / `canvas.cancel()` also handle an active resize. `onDraft` receives the proposed document; the session stays unchanged until commit. Changes to the resized container cancel a stale draft; unrelated updates are retained.\n\nThe shared engine exposes `geometry.flows`: each flow has its container path, content box, resolved column/row tracks (offset and size), clamped gap, effective composition, item count, and reserved slot count. This is renderer geometry, not new OPF document fields.\n\nAgents can prepare the same guarded change without a DOM:\n\n```js\nimport {prepareTrackResize} from '@openpresentation/opf-editor/layout';\nimport {resolvePresentation} from '@openpresentation/opf-render/svg';\nconst geometry = resolvePresentation(editor.presentation, { fonts }).slides[0].geometry;\nconst flow = geometry.flows.find(flow => flow.path === 'slides.0');\nconst prepared = prepareTrackResize(editor.presentation, flow, 0, 0.65);\n// Boundary 0: give the first track 65% of the adjacent pair's combined space.\n// Preview prepared.presentation with the same renderer and fonts handle before applying.\neditor.applyPatch(prepared.patches, {rejectInvalid: true});\n```\n\nThe patch contains a `test` guard for the container before changing its composition. Failed tests do not mutate the document or its history. A test-only patch is read-only. Rendering is preflighted by the canvas; headless callers should likewise render a candidate to enforce font and overflow constraints.\n\nVerification: editor layout model tests, `/layout-tests.html` browser keyboard checks and trusted-pointer specimens, and `pnpm test:layout` for measured SVG/native PPTX coordinate parity. Shape-coordinate checks do not establish PowerPoint raster pixel parity.\n\n\n## Reordering and moving blocks\n\nIn **Arrange**, drag a numbered block handle to reorder siblings. The insertion marker shows the destination; the shared renderer reflows the slide after drop. Arrow keys on a handle move the whole block earlier or later. Click a handle for **Earlier**, **Later**, or an explicit destination and insertion position. The destination menu supports existing groups and block-based slides, including moving a child out of a group or moving a whole group to another slide. `canvas.openBlockMenu(path)` opens the same controls programmatically.\n\nA move preserves the entire block and its nested content, formatting, data, and references. Parent composition weights describe positions, so they stay in place. Moving to another container can change the block's inherited design and readability constraints; the canvas renders the candidate before committing it. Strict overflow or an unavailable required font rejects the move. A move cannot leave an empty block container or put a group inside its own descendants. Move the group or add another block first when the source has only one child.\n\n```js\nimport {prepareBlockMove, listBlockContainers} from '@openpresentation/opf-editor/layout';\nconst containers = listBlockContainers(editor.presentation);\nconst prepared = prepareBlockMove(editor.presentation,\n  '/slides/0/blocks/0', '/slides/0/blocks/1', 1);\n// Insert the first block before child 1 of the second block's group.\n// Destination indexes refer to the document before removal.\n// prepared.path reports the moved block's address after any index shifts.\neditor.applyPatch(prepared.patches, {rejectInvalid: true});\n```\n\n`prepareBlockMove` returns `{presentation, patches, path, changed}`. It validates the complete result and emits guarded remove/add patches, so the editor or CLI can apply it atomically. No-op moves return `changed: false` and no patches. `listBlockContainers(presentation, {slideIndex})` optionally limits discovery to a single slide and excludes arbitrary extension data. Headless callers should render the candidate with their intended font provider before applying. The browser and installed-package block harnesses exercise nested moves, undo, stale menus, keyboard access, strict-fit rejection, and native drag reordering.\n\nCreation and deletion use the same layout engine: insertions can normalize implicit payloads into explicit blocks; deletions prune empty groups while retaining the slide. Existing track weights stay positional. See the [editor creation guide](live-editor.md#create-duplicate-and-delete-content) for the guarded APIs and canvas controls.\n"

-    "markdown": "# Local ecosystem development\n\nUse Node 24 for the current source and published packages. Keep `opf`, `opf-render`, `opf-pptx`, `opf-editor`, and `pptx-gallery` in the same parent directory. Install each repository's dependencies normally, then run these commands from `opf`:\n\n```sh\npnpm build\nnode scripts/link-ecosystem.mjs\npnpm test:ecosystem\npnpm test:gallery\n```\n\nThe link command replaces the installed `@openpresentation/opf` package in sibling `node_modules` with a link to this checkout and builds the toolkit packages. It also links the renderer into editor/converter consumers and the converter into the editor. It does not save machine-specific paths in package manifests or lockfiles. Reinstalling dependencies can replace the links; rerun the command afterwards. Use `--packages-only` to omit the gallery checkout.\n\nOn Windows, directory junctions work without granting file-symlink privileges. The linker refuses a package parent that resolves outside the sibling checkout's `node_modules`, and replaces existing links without following them into source. npm/pnpm orchestration invokes the package manager's JavaScript entrypoint with the selected Node runtime instead of running a batch shim through a shell. Paths with spaces and shell metacharacters remain literal arguments. The supported npm-installed and npm-exec package-manager layouts are discovered from `PATH` or the matching `npm_execpath`; a missing manager returns an explicit installation error.\n\nThe core packed-install smoke check also uses this Windows invocation. The following portability results record the historical September 9 integration, before the current Node 24 requirement; current acceptance is linked from the [compatibility matrix](compatibility-matrix.md). Node 20/24 local evidence on the `codex/windows-test-harness-20260909` branch: all 414 core tests plus composition/pagination/data/rich-text/list suites pass, and actual local tarballs install into fresh temporary projects and pass 519 packed-entry checks. New isolated tests execute real npm builds, replace existing junctions, retain literal arguments, and reject an external `node_modules` parent without modifying its package. The then-current Windows/macOS CI repeated the core packed installation on both runtimes. These are local unpublished tarballs, not republished core 0.7.0 or proof of native rendering fidelity.\n\nAfter integrating reviewed layout PR #43, the combined source passes all 420 core tests on local Windows Node 24. Exact combined-source CI and review are recorded on PR #44.\n\nCoordinated CI `34384776504` and `34385059710` caught an older isolated-link fixture copying the linker without its new helper, causing `ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND` before package tests ran. The fixture now copies both files, passes directly on Windows Node 20/24, and runs in the Windows/macOS matrix as well as coordinated CI. This failure was fixed rather than waived; renewed combined-source CI was required at that checkpoint.\n\nThe current published compatible set is core 0.16.0, CLI 0.16.0, renderer 0.16.0, PPTX 0.16.1 and editor 0.16.0 on Node 24 (the lockstep 0.16.0; the renderer's converters and font packages are optional peers a host installs, RR-63). Clean registry installs include shared composition and styled table rows without sibling links. `release-plan.json` records exact versions and immutable verification sources; `pnpm test:registry-ecosystem` and `pnpm test:registry-fidelity` exercise those installed packages. Source links are for coordinated development.\n\nExecute the installed-package browser harnesses after their corresponding build:\n\n```sh\npnpm test:packages\npnpm test:packed-browser\npnpm test:registry-ecosystem\npnpm test:packed-browser registry\n```\n\nThe renderer checkout supplies its locked Playwright test dependency. Install Chromium with `npm exec --prefix ../opf-render -- playwright install --with-deps chromium` on Linux. Local Windows runs use Edge; `OPF_BROWSER_CHANNEL` can explicitly select another installed Playwright channel. CI uses the matching official Playwright container pinned by digest, without installing OS packages during each run.\n\nEach build writes `artifacts/editor/packed-browser-manifest.json` with the mode, installed versions, consumer build ID, dependency-lock hash and exact font/HTML/JavaScript hashes. The runner rejects a different mode, stale consumer or changed asset. It serves only the verified bytes on loopback and rejects external requests and network writes. Rebuild before switching between candidate and registry modes. Reports include the browser and Node versions and are saved by mode/runtime; failures retain a screenshot.\n\n`node scripts/test-packed-browser-guards.mjs` verifies those four rejection cases against the current disposable harness and restores each changed fixture byte-for-byte. CI runs it after the registry browser checks.\n\nSeven suites exercise canvas, rich text, lists, creation, layout, block moves and styled tables. Real browser input covers divider resizing/cancellation/concurrent changes, block dragging, merged-cell typing/redo/undo, plain-to-rich conversion and bold formatting, and empty-cell typing/undo. Conversion and formatting currently create separate undo transactions. Harness DOM assertions also cover renderer agreement and preservation. These checks do not replace full application export/reimport, public deployment checks or native PowerPoint raster evidence.\n\nTo browse the gallery with the linked package:\n\n```sh\ncd ../pptx-gallery\nOPF_LOCAL_WORKSPACE=1 pnpm dev\n```\n\nLayout detail pages have an interactive composition example. The flag expands Turbopack's local root to include the sibling package; production builds use the gallery root.\n\n`pnpm test:ecosystem` validates the dynamic composition fixture, edits and undoes a composition, renders SVG/PNG/PDF, exports editable PPTX, checks OOXML text-box coordinates against the shared geometry, and imports the result back into schema-valid OPF. Artifacts are written to a temporary directory and its location is printed.\n\nFor tests that should read current source without modifying installed packages, use Node's local loader after building OPF:\n\n```sh\nnode --import ./scripts/register-local-opf.mjs ../opf-render/test/smoke.mjs\n```\n\nThe loader redirects only `@openpresentation/opf` imports to this checkout. Ordinary dependencies still resolve from the consuming repository.\n\nFor full gallery render coverage, run `pnpm test:gallery -- --render` (or invoke the script with `--render`). The test validates all 854 generated documents and can render them with the local SVG engine.\n\nBuild OPF before starting a linked gallery. Stop and restart the gallery around clean OPF rebuilds; removing the linked `dist` directory during compilation can leave Turbopack with stale missing-module errors.\n\n`pnpm test:pagination` verifies long-text and table pagination through SVG and editable PPTX, including exact source reconstruction, table row counts, and absence of extra exporter-created pages. It writes review artifacts under `artifacts/pagination/`.\n\n`pnpm test:fonts` verifies actual-font measurement across editor, SVG, pagination, and PPTX. It also runs the offline font-switch matrix (`scripts/test-font-switch-ecosystem.mjs`, FF-09): a seeded pairwise covering array of 58 decks over the 14 gallery dimensions, plus fixed content-type, block-replacement, per-slide override, CJK-in-Latin, theme and language switches, each switched A to B and back to A. A value class is a group of catalog values that take the same path through the engines, derived from the catalogs in the script: font schemes by language family, then by licensing and preview policy (Office metric, Office visual-only, monospace, open Google); one language per script family in the array and every other catalog script in a language chain; every layout family; the eight content blocks; every distinct chart export path of the non-deprecated chart types; header/footer, background (theme, solid, gradient, pattern, image) and image treatments by kind; and the first and last record of the metadata dimensions. Dimensions that a deck can carry several times (font scheme states, layouts, blocks, charts, backgrounds, images) take several values per deck. Every state is exported and checked with the FF-08 typeface inventory, the catalog's literal theme fonts, a package structure check, a preview re-render and a re-import. It pins the office font pack with visual substitution and asserts every substitution; known engine limitations, including chart types the preview approximates or the exporter writes as bar charts, are named expected failures in the script that fail with a \"limitation resolved\" message when they go away. It runs no browser and no Office. Its report is written to `artifacts/font-switch-matrix/report.json`. The pairwise decks run on four worker threads with a fixed partition (deck i on worker i mod 4), so every host verifies each deck after the same earlier decks; `OPF_MATRIX_WORKERS=1` runs them in one thread, `OPF_MATRIX_WORKERS=n` on n workers. See [font fidelity](font-fidelity.md) for loading and embedding local fonts and for current native PowerPoint limits.\n\n## Coordinated CI: the ecosystem lock\n\n`ecosystem.lock.json` records the four OpenPresentation commits (`opf`, `opf-render`, `opf-pptx`, `opf-editor`) that passed the coordinated ecosystem checks together, and the golden baseline (`OPF_GOLDEN_BASELINE`) the locked renderer renders the core examples against. `scripts/ecosystem-lock.schema.json` is its schema and `node scripts/ecosystem-lock.mjs validate` checks it with the same rules.\n\n- **Who writes it.** The SHAs are written by the roller, never by hand. A pull request that moves goldens may change `golden` (a reviewed golden decision, like the `OPF_GOLDEN_BASELINE` edits it replaces).\n- **Guard.** `node scripts/ecosystem-lock.mjs guard` checks every locked SHA against its repository's `main` through the GitHub REST compare API (the equivalent of `git merge-base --is-ancestor <sha> main`, no clone), and flags a pull request that changes a locked SHA from a branch other than the roller's (`ecosystem-roll/*`). The `ecosystem-core` job runs it as a warning; the repository variable `ECOSYSTEM_LOCK_GUARD=blocking` (or `--blocking`) makes a finding fail the job.\n- **Reading it.** CI never pins a sibling by hand. Each job runs the composite action `.github/actions/ecosystem-refs` with its own repository as `consumer`; the action reads `ecosystem.lock.json` from its own commit and returns the commit to check out for each repository (`opf`, `opf_render`, `opf_pptx`, `opf_editor`) and the golden baseline relative to the workspace (`golden`, for example `opf/scripts/fixtures/opf-examples-png.audience-ids.sha256.json`). Core's workflows use `./opf/.github/actions/ecosystem-refs` (the lock of the commit under test); the sibling repositories use `OpenPresentation/opf/.github/actions/ecosystem-refs@main` (the lock on core `main`). `export-golden: 'true'` exports `OPF_GOLDEN_BASELINE`; `golden-override` replaces the lock's golden with a workspace-relative baseline (a renderer pull request that moves pixels). Locally: `node scripts/ecosystem-lock.mjs resolve --consumer opf`.\n- **Depends-On.** For a change that needs an unmerged pull request of another ecosystem repository, add a line to the pull request body, for example `Depends-On: OpenPresentation/opf#264` (several pull requests may be listed, comma-separated or on several lines; the `https://github.com/OpenPresentation/<repository>/pull/<number>` form works too). On `pull_request` and `merge_group` events the action then checks that repository out at the named pull request instead of the lock: its test merge commit (`refs/pull/<n>/merge`) while it is open and mergeable, its head while it has conflicts, and its merge commit once it is merged (so a dependent pull request needs no edit after its dependency merges; re-run its checks). A closed, unmerged dependency fails the step; another organization's repository, a repository outside the four and a dependency on the pull request's own repository are reported and ignored; trailers inside fenced code blocks do not count. The body is read through the REST API, so after editing it re-run the checks. In the merge queue the pull request is the head pull request of the queue branch (`gh-readonly-queue/main/pr-<n>-<sha>`), so a breaking coordinated change is checked against its open sibling pull requests there too. In a batch of more than one pull request only that head pull request's `Depends-On` applies, so queue a coordinated change alone. `push` and scheduled runs always use the lock, so main is red for the sibling suites until the dependencies merge and the roll moves the lock. This replaces throwaway pin branches and repin pull requests. Check a body locally with `node scripts/ecosystem-lock.mjs depends-on --body-file body.md`. A renderer dependency that moves pixels brings its own golden: when opf-render comes from a `Depends-On` pull request and the step has no `golden-override` of its own, the action adopts the `golden-override` of that pull request's `.github/workflows/ci.yml` (the roller's rule: an `opf-render/test/golden/<name>` baseline or an `opf/scripts/fixtures/<name>.sha256.json` fixture, which must exist at the commit that is checked out) and logs `golden ... adopted from Depends-On OpenPresentation/opf-render#<n>`. `merge_group` runs keep the lock's golden, so the lock must still describe the locked renderer (FA-19).\n- **Roller.** `scripts/ecosystem-roll.mjs` (workflow \"Ecosystem lock roller\", `.github/workflows/ecosystem-roll.yml`) tries the four `main` branches together: it builds the candidate lock (the four `main` SHAs; the lock's golden, or opf-render main's `golden-override` when it sets one), force-moves `ecosystem-roll/main` to core `main`, commits the candidate there, and proposes it as a pull request only when the coordinated checks pass. It never writes `main`. `node scripts/ecosystem-roll.mjs plan --lock ecosystem.lock.json` shows the candidate without writing.\n  - **Without the GitHub App (today).** The roller runs with `GITHUB_TOKEN`, whose pushes start no workflow and whose pull requests start no checks. So it dispatches `Coordinated public packages` and `OPF CI` on its branch (a `workflow_dispatch` made with `GITHUB_TOKEN` does start a run), waits for them, and proposes only a green candidate; those runs report the required checks on the branch head, which is the pull request head. The repository does not let GitHub Actions open pull requests (\"Allow GitHub Actions to create and approve pull requests\" is off), so a green roll ends with a compare link in the job summary and a maintainer opens the pull request. The workflow is dispatch-only: the hourly schedule stays commented out.\n  - **With the App ([opf#298](https://github.com/OpenPresentation/opf/issues/298)).** Set the repository variable `ECOSYSTEM_APP_ID` and the secret `ECOSYSTEM_APP_PRIVATE_KEY`: the workflow's token step then runs and the roller uses the App token with no code change, opening the pull request itself (its normal checks decide). Then uncomment the schedule, and let each sibling send a `repository_dispatch` of type `ecosystem-main-updated` after a merge to `main`.\n- **No hand pins.** `scripts/ecosystem-lock.test.mjs` fails when a core workflow checks out an OpenPresentation repository at a hand-written SHA or selects a hand-written `OPF_GOLDEN_BASELINE`. The lock was generated from the last hand pins of `.github/workflows/ecosystem-ci.yml`; see [the CI study](programs/release-readiness/ci-cd.md), section 3.\n\n## Regenerating core's golden fixture\n\nA pull request that changes `examples/`, or the core code that composes them, moves the corpus digest and slide hashes in the fixture `ecosystem.lock.json` `golden` selects (`scripts/fixtures/opf-examples-png.*.sha256.json`; `scripts/fixtures/README.md` keeps the review record). opf-render's `regenerate-goldens` reads only the lock, so it cannot see an unmerged core pull request. The `regenerate-core-golden` workflow (`.github/workflows/regenerate-core-golden.yml`, helpers in `scripts/core-golden.mjs`, tests in `pnpm check:core-golden`) does it for a branch of this repository, with the method of RR-20 (opf#367): the locked renderer's `test/golden.mjs`, core linked, scale 0.25, `systemFonts: false`, on Linux in the Playwright image `ecosystem-ci.yml` pins, Node 24.\n\n```sh\ngh workflow run regenerate-core-golden.yml -f branch=<branch>                  # render, push one fixture commit, start CI\ngh workflow run regenerate-core-golden.yml -f branch=<branch> -f dry-run=true  # render and report only\n```\n\n- **Inputs.** `branch` (required): a branch of this repository, never the default branch; a fork (`owner:branch`), a ref, a SHA or any other name is refused, and the branch is checked out from this repository only. `dry-run` (default false) renders and writes the report without pushing. `dispatch-ci` (default true) starts `OPF CI` and `Coordinated public packages` on the branch after the push (a push with `GITHUB_TOKEN` starts no workflow). Dispatch it on `main`: a `workflow_dispatch` sees only workflows on the default branch, and the run refuses any other ref.\n- **Step one, the reproducibility guard.** It renders main's examples with main's core and the locked renderer (the renderer commit in `ecosystem.lock.json`) and requires the generated fixture to be byte-identical to main's committed one. If it is not, the run fails and pushes nothing: the environment cannot be trusted to write a fixture (or main's fixture is stale), and the run log lists the slides that differ.\n- **Step two.** It renders the branch head the same way. The fixture is written to the path the branch's `ecosystem.lock.json` selects; the commit may touch only that one `scripts/fixtures/<name>.sha256.json` (any other change fails the run), its message lists every changed slide (deck, index, old and new hash) compared with main's fixture, and it is pushed to the branch without force by `github-actions[bot]`. The push is a second job that holds the write token and runs only scripts from `main`; the branch's code (install, build, render) runs in a job with read access only. A branch that moved while rendering, a branch whose lock locks another renderer than main (rebase), and a branch that lacks a change on `main` to `examples/`, `packages/`, `spec/`, `scripts/fixtures/`, the lock or the lockfile (rebase) fail without pushing. A fixture that already equals the render, or `dry-run`, pushes nothing.\n- **A renderer that is not merged yet (`renderer-ref`).** For one coordinated change whose renderer is still a branch (OPF 0.15 with FA-23), pass `-f renderer-ref=<opf-render branch or SHA> -f fixture-name=<name>`, and dispatch on the branch itself (`--ref <branch>`) until `main` carries this workflow version. The guard is unchanged (main with the locked renderer). The branch is rendered with the `renderer-ref` renderer into a new fixture, `scripts/fixtures/opf-examples-png.<name>.sha256.json` (never main's, which main's lock still selects); the push also points the branch's `ecosystem.lock.json` `golden` at it and appends the review record, with the renderer SHA, to `scripts/fixtures/README.md`, and the commit message names the renderer SHA. The \"branch lock renderer must equal main's\" check is relaxed for such a run, and the log says why.\n- **Job summary and artifact.** The summary lists the changed slides per deck, ready to paste into the pull request body (add the reason for each change), and every old and new hash; the `core-golden-report` artifact holds the same (`changes.json`, `summary.md`, `commit-message.txt`, the fixture) and the review sheets and PNGs of the slides that differ from main's fixture. Look at them before approving: the commit is evidence, not an approval.\n- **Merge rhythm.** Merges are sequential and each examples-touching merge changes main's fixture. After every such merge, the next examples-touching pull request rebases onto main and dispatches this workflow, then merges once CI on the new commit is green. Edit the pull request body with the list before merging.\n- **CI after the push.** A dispatched run reads `ecosystem.lock.json` only, so for a pull request whose body has `Depends-On:` lines close and reopen it (or push) to run its own `pull_request` checks.\n- **Limits.** The renderer is the locked one; a pull request that also needs an unmerged opf-render change cannot be regenerated here. A fixture in another repository (a lock `golden` that names opf-render) is refused.\n\n## Coordinated CI: the contract tier\n\n`Coordinated public packages` (`.github/workflows/ecosystem-ci.yml`) runs the three siblings' suites in two depths ([the CI study](programs/release-readiness/ci-cd.md), section 3, consumer-driven contracts). `scripts/ecosystem-scope.mjs` (`tierForEvent`) decides the depth and every sibling shard passes it as `--tier` to `scripts/test-package-ecosystem.mjs` (`scripts/package-ecosystem-plan.mjs` lists the commands).\n\n| Event | Depth | What a sibling runs |\n|---|---|---|\n| `pull_request` | `contract` | `npm run test:contract` (instead of `npm run test`) |\n| `merge_group`, the nightly `schedule` (01:37 UTC), `workflow_dispatch` | `full` | `npm run test` |\n| `pull_request` that changes `ecosystem.lock.json`, the workflow, the tiering scripts or the `ecosystem-refs` action, comes from an `ecosystem-roll/*` branch or has the label `ecosystem-full` or `full-ci` | `full` | `npm run test` |\n\n- **The contract suite.** Each sibling defines it in `test/suites.json`: `contractExclude` names the tests of `npm test` (`scripts/run-tests.mjs`) that the contract leaves out, each with a reason (tests of the package's own machinery that take no input from core). Every other test is in the contract, so a new test gates core pull requests until someone excludes it on purpose. `node scripts/run-tests.mjs --suite contract --list` prints it; the sibling's `check:runners` fails on an exclusion that names a missing file or has no reason. `test:contract` also keeps the cheap build steps that bundle core (the renderer's font licence check and browser bundle, the converter's browser bundle). Nothing else in a shard changes: typecheck, validate, `test:code`, `test:font-preparation`, `test:font-variants`, the browser steps and the golden gate (805 raster hashes, exact) run at both depths, and no tolerance moved.\n- **Nothing is skipped by the tier.** Only a pull request can run `contract`; a docs-only or contract-only change never lowers a `merge_group`, `main` or nightly run (`scripts/ecosystem-scope.test.mjs`). A sibling whose commit has no `test:contract` script (a lock that predates RR-53) runs its full `npm run test` with a warning.\n- **The merge queue and the nightly run (RR-57).** The queue's `merge_group` run is the full gate before main, and main is fast-forwarded to the exact commit it tested, so there is no push-to-main run (it repeated the same SHA; `scripts/release-train.mjs` reads the queue run's check runs on that commit). The nightly run is the safety net for anything that reaches main without the queue. A red nightly run fails the workflow run and the job `main-status` keeps an issue labelled `main-red` open for the red period (a comment for each further red run, closed by the next green one); poll it with `gh api 'repos/OpenPresentation/opf/issues?labels=main-red&state=open'`. Fix forward or revert. Add the label `ecosystem-full` (or `full-ci`) to a pull request that you know reaches past the contract (the font catalogs, the script packs, the PDF path) to run the full suites on it; the label takes effect on the next push or a re-run.\n- **Merge order.** A sibling pull request that adds or changes its contract merges first; the roller then moves the lock. Core's pull request tier reads the contract at the lock's commit, or at the pull request named by a `Depends-On:` line.\n"
+    "markdown": "# Local ecosystem development\n\nUse Node 24 for the current source and published packages. Keep `opf`, `opf-render`, `opf-pptx`, `opf-editor`, and `pptx-gallery` in the same parent directory. Install each repository's dependencies normally, then run these commands from `opf`:\n\n```sh\npnpm build\nnode scripts/link-ecosystem.mjs\npnpm test:ecosystem\npnpm test:gallery\n```\n\nThe link command replaces the installed `@openpresentation/opf` package in sibling `node_modules` with a link to this checkout and builds the toolkit packages. It also links the renderer into editor/converter consumers and the converter into the editor. It does not save machine-specific paths in package manifests or lockfiles. Reinstalling dependencies can replace the links; rerun the command afterwards. Use `--packages-only` to omit the gallery checkout.\n\nOn Windows, directory junctions work without granting file-symlink privileges. The linker refuses a package parent that resolves outside the sibling checkout's `node_modules`, and replaces existing links without following them into source. npm/pnpm orchestration invokes the package manager's JavaScript entrypoint with the selected Node runtime instead of running a batch shim through a shell. Paths with spaces and shell metacharacters remain literal arguments. The supported npm-installed and npm-exec package-manager layouts are discovered from `PATH` or the matching `npm_execpath`; a missing manager returns an explicit installation error.\n\nThe core packed-install smoke check also uses this Windows invocation.

Each job runs the composite action `.github/actions/ecosystem-refs` with its own repository as `consumer`; the action reads `ecosystem.lock.json` from its own commit and returns the commit to check out for each repository (`opf`, `opf_render`, `opf_pptx`, `opf_editor`) and the golden baseline relative to the workspace (`golden`, for example `opf/scripts/fixtures/opf-examples-png.audience-ids.sha256.json`). Core's workflows use `./opf/.github/actions/ecosystem-refs` (the lock of the commit under test); the sibling repositories use `OpenPresentation/opf/.github/actions/ecosystem-refs@main` (the lock on core `main`). `export-golden: 'true'` exports `OPF_GOLDEN_BASELINE`; `golden-override` replaces the lock's golden with a workspace-relative baseline (a renderer pull request that moves pixels). Locally: `node scripts/ecosystem-lock.mjs resolve --consumer opf`.\n- **Depends-On.** For a change that needs an unmerged pull request of another ecosystem repository, add a line to the pull request body, for example `Depends-On: OpenPresentation/opf#264` (several pull requests may be listed, comma-separated or on several lines; the `https://github.com/OpenPresentation/<repository>/pull/<number>` form works too). On `pull_request` and `merge_group` events the action then checks that repository out at the named pull request instead of the lock: its test merge commit (`refs/pull/<n>/merge`) while it is open and mergeable, its head while it has conflicts, and its merge commit once it is merged (so a dependent pull request needs no edit after its dependency merges; re-run its checks). A closed, unmerged dependency fails the step; another organization's repository, a repository outside the four and a dependency on the pull request's own repository are reported and ignored; trailers inside fenced code blocks do not count. The body is read through the REST API, so after editing it re-run the checks. In the merge queue the pull request is the head pull request of the queue branch (`gh-readonly-queue/main/pr-<n>-<sha>`), so a breaking coordinated change is checked against its open sibling pull requests there too. In a batch of more than one pull request only that head pull request's `Depends-On` applies, so queue a coordinated change alone. `push` and scheduled runs always use the lock, so main is red for the sibling suites until the dependencies merge and the roll moves the lock. This replaces throwaway pin branches and repin pull requests. Check a body locally with `node scripts/ecosystem-lock.mjs depends-on --body-file body.md`. A renderer dependency that moves pixels brings its own golden: when opf-render comes from a `Depends-On` pull request and the step has no `golden-override` of its own, the action adopts the `golden-override` of that pull request's `.github/workflows/ci.yml` (the roller's rule: an `opf-render/test/golden/<name>` baseline or an `opf/scripts/fixtures/<name>.sha256.json` fixture, which must exist at the commit that is checked out) and logs `golden ... adopted from Depends-On OpenPresentation/opf-render#<n>`. `merge_group` runs keep the lock's golden, so the lock must still describe the locked renderer (FA-19).\n- **Roller.** `scripts/ecosystem-roll.mjs` (workflow \"Ecosystem lock roller\", `.github/workflows/ecosystem-roll.yml`) tries the four `main` branches together: it builds the candidate lock (the four `main` SHAs; the lock's golden, or opf-render main's `golden-override` when it sets one), force-moves `ecosystem-roll/main` to core `main`, commits the candidate there, and proposes it as a pull request only when the coordinated checks pass. It never writes `main`. `node scripts/ecosystem-roll.mjs plan --lock ecosystem.lock.json` shows the candidate without writing.\n  - **Without the GitHub App (today).** The roller runs with `GITHUB_TOKEN`, whose pushes start no workflow and whose pull requests start no checks. So it dispatches `Coordinated public packages` and `OPF CI` on its branch (a `workflow_dispatch` made with `GITHUB_TOKEN` does start a run), waits for them, and proposes only a green candidate; those runs report the required checks on the branch head, which is the pull request head. The repository does not let GitHub Actions open pull requests (\"Allow GitHub Actions to create and approve pull requests\" is off), so a green roll ends with a compare link in the job summary and a maintainer opens the pull request. The workflow is dispatch-only: the hourly schedule stays commented out.\n  - **With the App ([opf#298](https://github.com/OpenPresentation/opf/issues/298)).** Set the repository variable `ECOSYSTEM_APP_ID` and the secret `ECOSYSTEM_APP_PRIVATE_KEY`: the workflow's token step then runs and the roller uses the App token with no code change, opening the pull request itself (its normal checks decide). Then uncomment the schedule, and let each sibling send a `repository_dispatch` of type `ecosystem-main-updated` after a merge to `main`.\n- **No hand pins.** `scripts/ecosystem-lock.test.mjs` fails when a core workflow checks out an OpenPresentation repository at a hand-written SHA or selects a hand-written `OPF_GOLDEN_BASELINE`. The lock was generated from the last hand pins of `.github/workflows/ecosystem-ci.yml`; see [the CI study](programs/release-readiness/ci-cd.md), section 3.\n\n## Regenerating core's golden fixture\n\nA pull request that changes `examples/`, or the core code that composes them, moves the corpus digest and slide hashes in the fixture `ecosystem.lock.json` `golden` selects (`scripts/fixtures/opf-examples-png.*.sha256.json`; `scripts/fixtures/README.md` keeps the review record). opf-render's `regenerate-goldens` reads only the lock, so it cannot see an unmerged core pull request. The `regenerate-core-golden` workflow (`.github/workflows/regenerate-core-golden.yml`, helpers in `scripts/core-golden.mjs`, tests in `pnpm check:core-golden`) does it for a branch of this repository, with the method of RR-20 (opf#367): the locked renderer's `test/golden.mjs`, core linked, scale 0.25, `systemFonts: false`, on Linux in the Playwright image `ecosystem-ci.yml` pins, Node 24.\n\n```sh\ngh workflow run regenerate-core-golden.yml -f branch=<branch>                  # render, push one fixture commit, start CI\ngh workflow run regenerate-core-golden.yml -f branch=<branch> -f dry-run=true  # render and report only\n```\n\n- **Inputs.** `branch` (required): a branch of this repository, never the default branch; a fork (`owner:branch`), a ref, a SHA or any other name is refused, and the branch is checked out from this repository only. `dry-run` (default false) renders and writes the report without pushing. `dispatch-ci` (default true) starts `OPF CI` and `Coordinated public packages` on the branch after the push (a push with `GITHUB_TOKEN` starts no workflow). Dispatch it on `main`: a `workflow_dispatch` sees only workflows on the default branch, and the run refuses any other ref.\n- **Step one, the reproducibility guard.** It renders main's examples with main's core and the locked renderer (the renderer commit in `ecosystem.lock.json`) and requires the generated fixture to be byte-identical to main's committed one. If it is not, the run fails and pushes nothing: the environment cannot be trusted to write a fixture (or main's fixture is stale), and the run log lists the slides that differ.\n- **Step two.** It renders the branch head the same way. The fixture is written to the path the branch's `ecosystem.lock.json` selects; the commit may touch only that one `scripts/fixtures/<name>.sha256.json` (any other change fails the run), its message lists every changed slide (deck, index, old and new hash) compared with main's fixture, and it is pushed to the branch without force by `github-actions[bot]`. The push is a second job that holds the write token and runs only scripts from `main`; the branch's code (install, build, render) runs in a job with read access only. A branch that moved while rendering, a branch whose lock locks another renderer than main (rebase), and a branch that lacks a change on `main` to `examples/`, `packages/`, `spec/`, `scripts/fixtures/`, the lock or the lockfile (rebase) fail without pushing. A fixture that already equals the render, or `dry-run`, pushes nothing.\n- **A renderer that is not merged yet (`renderer-ref`).** For one coordinated change whose renderer is still a branch (OPF 0.15 with FA-23), pass `-f renderer-ref=<opf-render branch or SHA> -f fixture-name=<name>`, and dispatch on the branch itself (`--ref <branch>`) until `main` carries this workflow version. The guard is unchanged (main with the locked renderer). The branch is rendered with the `renderer-ref` renderer into a new fixture, `scripts/fixtures/opf-examples-png.<name>.sha256.json` (never main's, which main's lock still selects); the push also points the branch's `ecosystem.lock.json` `golden` at it and appends the review record, with the renderer SHA, to `scripts/fixtures/README.md`, and the commit message names the renderer SHA. The \"branch lock renderer must equal main's\" check is relaxed for such a run, and the log says why.\n- **Job summary and artifact.** The summary lists the changed slides per deck, ready to paste into the pull request body (add the reason for each change), and every old and new hash; the `core-golden-report` artifact holds the same (`changes.json`, `summary.md`, `commit-message.txt`, the fixture) and the review sheets and PNGs of the slides that differ from main's fixture. Look at them before approving: the commit is evidence, not an approval.\n- **Merge rhythm.** Merges are sequential and each examples-touching merge changes main's fixture. After every such merge, the next examples-touching pull request rebases onto main and dispatches this workflow, then merges once CI on the new commit is green. Edit the pull request body with the list before merging.\n- **CI after the push.** A dispatched run reads `ecosystem.lock.json` only, so for a pull request whose body has `Depends-On:` lines close and reopen it (or push) to run its own `pull_request` checks.\n- **Limits.** The renderer is the locked one; a pull request that also needs an unmerged opf-render change cannot be regenerated here. A fixture in another repository (a lock `golden` that names opf-render) is refused.\n\n## Coordinated CI: the contract tier\n\n`Coordinated public packages` (`.github/workflows/ecosystem-ci.yml`) runs the three siblings' suites in two depths ([the CI study](programs/release-readiness/ci-cd.md), section 3, consumer-driven contracts). `scripts/ecosystem-scope.mjs` (`tierForEvent`) decides the depth and every sibling shard passes it as `--tier` to `scripts/test-package-ecosystem.mjs` (`scripts/package-ecosystem-plan.mjs` lists the commands).\n\n| Event | Depth | What a sibling runs |\n|---|---|---|\n| `pull_request` | `contract` | `npm run test:contract` (instead of `npm run test`) |\n| `merge_group`, the nightly `schedule` (01:37 UTC), `workflow_dispatch` | `full` | `npm run test` |\n| `pull_request` that changes `ecosystem.lock.json`, the workflow, the tiering scripts or the `ecosystem-refs` action, comes from an `ecosystem-roll/*` branch or has the label `ecosystem-full` or `full-ci` | `full` | `npm run test` |\n\n- **The contract suite.** Each sibling defines it in `test/suites.json`: `contractExclude` names the tests of `npm test` (`scripts/run-tests.mjs`) that the contract leaves out, each with a reason (tests of the package's own machinery that take no input from core). Every other test is in the contract, so a new test gates core pull requests until someone excludes it on purpose. `node scripts/run-tests.mjs --suite contract --list` prints it; the sibling's `check:runners` fails on an exclusion that names a missing file or has no reason. `test:contract` also keeps the cheap build steps that bundle core (the renderer's font licence check and browser bundle, the converter's browser bundle). Nothing else in a shard changes: typecheck, validate, `test:code`, `test:font-preparation`, `test:font-variants`, the browser steps and the golden gate (805 raster hashes, exact) run at both depths, and no tolerance moved.\n- **Nothing is skipped by the tier.** Only a pull request can run `contract`; a docs-only or contract-only change never lowers a `merge_group`, `main` or nightly run (`scripts/ecosystem-scope.test.mjs`). A sibling whose commit has no `test:contract` script (a lock that predates RR-53) runs its full `npm run test` with a warning.\n- **The merge queue and the nightly run (RR-57).** The queue's `merge_group` run is the full gate before main, and main is fast-forwarded to the exact commit it tested, so there is no push-to-main run (it repeated the same SHA; `scripts/release-train.mjs` reads the queue run's check runs on that commit). The nightly run is the safety net for anything that reaches main without the queue. A red nightly run fails the workflow run and the job `main-status` keeps an issue labelled `main-red` open for the red period (a comment for each further red run, closed by the next green one); poll it with `gh api 'repos/OpenPresentation/opf/issues?labels=main-red&state=open'`. Fix forward or revert. Add the label `ecosystem-full` (or `full-ci`) to a pull request that you know reaches past the contract (the font catalogs, the script packs, the PDF path) to run the full suites on it; the label takes effect on the next push or a re-run.\n- **Merge order.** A sibling pull request that adds or changes its contract merges first; the roller then moves the lock. Core's pull request tier reads the contract at the lock's commit, or at the pull request named by a `Depends-On:` line.\n"

-    "markdown": "# Measured fonts and reproducible previews\n\n## Start with the installed package\n\nUse the coordinated versions in the [quickstart](quickstart.md). Load fonts once per worker with\n`loadFonts({pack: 'office', scripts: 'auto', presentation})` from `@openpresentation/opf-render/fonts-node`,\nand pass the same handle as `{fonts}` to preview and export. When reusing a worker for another deck,\nensure its required faces are loaded before rendering; bound concurrency and measure memory with your own decks.\nFor an authored Roboto deck, `pack: 'base'` avoids loading Office replacements. Neither loader reads system fonts by default.\n\nIn browsers, serve the renderer's pinned font files from your own origin and await the font handle's `ensure(presentation)`\nbefore measuring or editing. The renderer README documents font copying and the player integration. Standalone SVG must\ncarry the used font bytes; script faces require `embedScriptFonts: true` in the Node loader. The CLI's default SVG mode\nrequests this automatically; `--svg-fonts none` needs matching viewer fonts. PPTX normally names the authored families\nand requires them on the recipient's machine; it does not automatically embed the preview fonts.\n\nThe policy below is current. Version-specific measurements and implementation history are evidence for their named\ncheckpoints, not transfer-size budgets for every release. The [font roadmap](plans/font-roadmap.md) records historical\nplanning; use installed package APIs and measured output when choosing a deployment strategy.\n\n## Font policy (FF-31)\n\nOPF keeps one machine-readable font policy table, [`spec/reference/font-policy.json`](../spec/reference/font-policy.json). Core exports it as `FONT_POLICY`, `fontPolicyFor()` and `applyFontPolicyDecisions()` from `@openpresentation/opf` or `@openpresentation/opf/font-policy`. Each row gives a family's license class, where viewers get it, whether OPF may ever embed it, and its preview replacement with a measured width difference. It also lists alternates, ending where possible with a face that already ships with opf-render. The [licensing table](programs/font-fidelity-everywhere/font-licensing.md) lists all 153 rows. [`font-policy.schema.json`](../spec/reference/font-policy.schema.json) is its JSON Schema. The [measurement evidence](evidence/font-replacements-20260923/README.md) explains how each replacement was chosen.\n\n**The policy in brief (owner decisions, 2026-09-29).** This is the canonical statement; the sibling repositories link here.\n\n1. **The user's font selection is the source of truth.** The user picks a font, for example Aptos or Calibri through a font scheme. That name is what the document, the theme and the PPTX carry.\n2. **License-restricted (proprietary) fonts are never bundled or embedded,** so previews cannot draw them. Openly licensed fonts such as Carlito and Roboto are bundled, and \"licensed\" below always means license-restricted. Live previews, SVG, the editor and gallery thumbnails use an open look-alike instead. The goal is a replacement that looks similar and is metric-compatible (same advance widths and line metrics), so text occupies the same size on screen and wraps as it does in PowerPoint. Calibri\u2192Carlito is the model.\n3. **Where no metric-compatible open replacement exists yet,** a visual-only look-alike is a documented fallback. It is reported as visual and is a known layout-fidelity gap to close, not the intended end state. The parity scoreboard counts it as near, not perfect. The Aptos family is no longer such a case: Intos previews it as metric.\n4. **PPTX export always writes the selected font name,** for example `typeface=\"Aptos\"` in the theme and in runs, never the replacement. PowerPoint then opens the file and shows the actual font, installed or as a Microsoft 365 cloud font.\n5. **Only open fonts may be embedded,** through the explicit embed path (FF-13).\n6. **Font files are bundled, never hotlinked.** Fonts, Google Fonts included, ship as pinned files (an exact npm version, or a vendored file with a recorded sha256) and are never loaded at runtime from a font CDN. That protects visitor privacy (a German court held the Google Fonts CDN a GDPR violation in 2022) and keeps previews offline-capable and audits reproducible. Build-time self-hosting such as `next/font/google` is not a hotlink but is not pinned, so use `next/font/local` with pinned files. Guards fail on CDN references in every repository.\n7. **Every bundled face records a verified permissive license.** Allowed: exactly OFL-1.1, Apache-2.0, MIT and UFL-1.0; not GPL, LGPL, AGPL, proprietary or unclear public-domain fonts. The record has the SPDX id, any Reserved Font Name the copyright block declares, the source URL, package@version and sha256, all checked against the LICENSE file the font ships with. A modified version (subset, instance, conversion) may not use a Reserved Font Name in its name: a family whose served name contains its reserved name (Carlito, Raleway) is bundled only as the unmodified upstream file, while one that reserves another name (Noto Sans JP reserves \"Source\") may be modified. Details and enforcement: [Font files: bundling and licenses](programs/font-fidelity-everywhere/font-licensing.md#font-files-bundling-and-licenses).\n\n**Release status.** Point 4 is published: opf-pptx 0.10.0 and later (current 0.15.0) write the selected name into the PPTX, and the editor and pptx.gallery builds that depend on the release-plan set export it. opf-pptx 0.9.1 and earlier wrote the substitute.\n\n1. **Licensed, non-free fonts are never bundled or embedded.** This covers Aptos, Calibri, Cambria, Segoe UI, Georgia, Tahoma, Grandview, Seaford, Tenorite, Consolas, Times New Roman, Arial, Courier New and the Windows script fonts. Rendering uses the family's designated open replacement instead:\n   - **Metric-compatible** is the goal, used where a replacement exists and measures identical: Calibri\u2192Carlito, Arial\u2192Arimo, Times New Roman\u2192Tinos, Courier New\u2192Cousine and Georgia\u2192Gelasio. A metric row needs an upstream statement and a measurement in all four styles, with a mean width difference below 0.1% and no corpus string more than 0.3% off. Georgia\u2192Gelasio passes only with Gelasio shaped with its `liga` and `clig` features off (the row lists them as `disabledFeatures`): with default features Gelasio ligates fi, fl, ffi and ffl, which Georgia does not, and runs differ by up to 1.02%. With them off every one of the 300 corpus strings matches in all four styles (mean and maximum below 0.01%). opf-render turns those features off in measurement and in SVG, so a renderer that does not is visual against Georgia.\n   - **Size adjustment** (RR-38): a visual replacement whose advances and glyphs are far from the real font's can carry `sizeAdjust`, a preview-only font-size multiplier. A renderer scales the replacement's size by it when it measures and when it draws, so lines have the length PowerPoint's have; core's composed geometry, the exported sizes and every PPTX are unchanged. Arabic Typesetting\u2192Noto Naskh Arabic is 0.64 (the real font's advances are 0.643 of the replacement's over the Arabic corpus; its ink height is 0.71, so glyphs draw about 10 percent smaller than PowerPoint's). It applies only when the face drawn is the row's replacement. `lineAscent` and `lineAscentMixed` (em; Arabic Typesetting 0.70 and 0.78, measured in a native PowerPoint 365 probe against the font's hhea ascent of 0.701) say where PowerPoint puts the baseline below the top of a line box, for a line in the real font alone and for a line that also holds other fonts; a renderer that puts baselines one em below the line top moves such runs up by `1 - lineAscent` em.\n   - **Alternates** are tried, in order, when the declared replacement's pack is not loaded. An alternate is always reported as visual, including on a metric row.\n   - **Aptos family:** Aptos\u2192Intos, Aptos Display\u2192Intos Display, Aptos Narrow\u2192Intos Narrow and Aptos Serif\u2192Intos Serif are metric: 0.000% mean and maximum against Aptos 2.01 in all four styles, with equal vertical metrics.\n   - **Otherwise the closest measured open face**, marked visual: a documented fallback and a known layout-fidelity gap until a metric-compatible replacement exists. For example, Segoe UI\u2192Red Hat Display measures a 1.72% mean width difference.\n2. **The PPTX always names the chosen family, and no font file is included.** The exporter writes `Aptos` when the document chose Aptos. PowerPoint resolves standard fonts on the viewer's machine: those shipped with Office, Windows or macOS, and Microsoft 365 cloud fonts. The replacement never reaches the package (opf-pptx `test/export-chosen-fonts.mjs`).\n3. **Openly licensed fonts render as themselves.** Examples are Roboto, Carlito and the Noto script families. They can reach a PPTX only through an explicit embed path (FF-13), never by default.\n4. **Families that are proprietary and non-standard, or missing from the table,** keep their name in the PPTX. `fontAvailabilityDiagnostics()` reports that viewers may lack them. It also flags Microsoft 365 cloud-only fonts (such as Aptos) and families that ship only in an optional Windows language feature.\n\n### Which faces are available\n\nopf-render ships only fonts that it already pins and hash-verifies:\n- **Base pack:** Roboto and Roboto Mono.\n- **Office pack:** Carlito, Caladea, Arimo, Tinos, Cousine and Gelasio.\n- **Office pack, Aptos family:** Intos, Intos Display, Intos Narrow and Intos Serif (OFL-1.1, vendored in opf-render at a pinned commit, unmodified from the upstream files). A registry built without them (for example the base pack alone) falls back to the alternates Roboto and Carlito, reported as visual.\n- **Optional `scripts` pack (FF-19):** Noto for non-Latin scripts and CJK.\n\nSome replacements are open families that no renderer pack ships yet, such as Red Hat Display for Segoe UI and Red Hat Text for Tahoma. For these, the renderer tries the declared replacement first, then the alternates. The last alternate is the best measured bundled face, so previews stay deterministic without any extra download. `registry.substitutions` records which face was used and its tier. The proposed `catalog` pack (21 OFL `@expo-google-fonts` packages, listed in the opf-render PR) would make the declared replacements and the open catalog families available. Downloading it needs approval, and it is not part of this change.\n\n| Environment | Open catalog families | Proprietary families | When the real font is required |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Local Node, cloud or serverless (`loadFonts({pack: 'office', substitutionPolicy: 'visual'})` from `/fonts-node`) | Exact when a pack ships them (Roboto, Carlito, \u2026, Noto with `scripts`) | Metric replacement: identical widths. Visual replacement: approximate, reported in `fonts.substitutions` with the measured delta | Supply licensed files with `loadFonts({faces: [{path, family, weight, italic}]})`; they resolve as exact faces |\n| Strict mode (`substitutionPolicy: 'metric'`) | Exact | Metric replacements only | `font-unavailable` names the license class, the declared replacement and tier, the pack, and the caller hook. There is never a silent wrong-metric fallback |\n| Browser (`loadFonts` from `/fonts-browser`) | Exact when the host serves the pack files | Same replacement rules | Same hook: pass the caller's own faces |\n| PowerPoint (exported PPTX) | Named; the viewer needs the font or substitutes | The selected name, never the replacement: the real font on Office, Windows or macOS, or through Microsoft 365 cloud fonts | Named; the viewer substitutes |\n\n**Aptos, the default scheme.** Aptos is a Microsoft 365 cloud font and is not redistributable. Under the owner policy of 2026-09-29 it previews with Intos, an OFL font whose advance widths, kerning and vertical metrics equal Aptos 2.01: 0.000% mean and maximum width difference over the 300-string corpus in regular, bold, italic and bold italic, for Aptos, Aptos Display, Aptos Narrow and Aptos Serif (Aptos Serif measured from Microsoft's standalone Aptos Fonts download, the others from the Microsoft 365 cloud fonts). Line breaks, line heights and text sizes therefore agree with Aptos. The letter shapes are Intos's own (Inter-derived, Gelasio-derived for the serif), not Aptos's. The exported PPTX still names Aptos, Aptos Display, Aptos Narrow or Aptos Serif, and no Aptos file is bundled or embedded. Deployments that hold an Aptos license can pass the real files through `faces` for exact previews.\n\nIntos ships in opf-render's default office pack (`loadFonts({pack: 'office'})`), about 12 MB of font files, so the default metric policy previews the Aptos family without asking for visual mode. Without those faces, previews fall back to the alternates Roboto and Carlito, marked visual. Like the open families, Intos is an `embed: \"used\"` face: `registry.embeddedFonts` stays the 33 eager npm faces, the handle's `embeddedFonts` supplies it, and a standalone SVG embeds only the Intos faces its text draws (an Aptos slide: Intos regular and Intos Display bold, 14.7 MB with the eager faces, against 20.7 MB with all eight styles). Intos is a single-maintainer project started in September 2026, so it is pinned by commit and SHA-256 and the previous replacements stay as alternates. The pptx.gallery parity scoreboard's `fontResolution` check counts the Aptos family as perfect because the replacement is metric-compatible.\n\n**Browser hosts load the vendored faces on demand.** The eager list is what a host puts in one `fonts.json` (12.6 MB); the vendored faces (Intos and the open families, `registry.lazyFonts`, 51 faces) would add 19.4 MB, so they ship as separate hash-pinned files at their package-relative paths (`fonts/intos/...`, `fonts/<family>/...`) and load through `loadFonts({faces, lazyFontsBaseUrl})` from `/fonts-browser`. `await fonts.ensure(presentation)` (the registry's `ensureLazyFonts` and `ensureScripts` are the lower-level calls) fetches and verifies only the faces the document draws (renderer 0.11.5, face level: a plain Aptos deck needs Intos Display Bold and Intos Regular, 2 files, 1.5 MB; an italic or bold run adds one face; before 0.11.5 it was every face of the resolved families, 8 files, 5.9 MB), then adds them to the document and the registry together, so the editor never measures with a face it paints as a fallback. The gallery commits only a pinned manifest, `lazy-fonts.json` (`scripts/gallery-lazy-fonts.mjs`, written by `build-registry-gallery-editor` from the published renderer's manifest when the pinned editor example sets `lazyFontsBaseUrl`, and copied by `prepare-gallery-editor`): exact renderer version, SPDX license, license-file hash and every face's SHA-256, no bytes. The gallery's own build copies the faces from the pinned renderer package's `fonts/` directory into an untracked path, verifying each hash, the way it does for script fonts. The local editor demo (`build-editor-demo`, through `scripts/emit-lazy-fonts.mjs`) copies the files beside the page instead. The editor playground calls `fonts.ensure(presentation)` when a document needs them. `node scripts/test-editor-lazy-fonts.mjs` drives the built playground in Chromium.\n\nThe [Windows reference-font advance study](evidence/shared-metric-native-anchor/font-study-comparison.json) is exploratory source-checkpoint evidence, not an additional compatibility certification. It measures 1,024 cases across regular/bold Calibri, Arial, Times New Roman and Courier New, recording local reference-file versions/hashes and native font-slot names. Disabling optional ligatures and rounding base glyph advances to eighth-point steps predicts 949 observations within 0.02pt; 75 outliers remain, including combining marks, Arabic and Calibri kerning. Office theme tokens and per-glyph fallback are not resolved to exact native files by these name properties. No runtime provider or open-font mapping changes from this hypothesis, and no reference font is redistributed.\n\nThe composition API accepts a `textMeasurement` provider. A provider resolves font faces and returns actual text widths; callers pass the same provider to pagination (as `{ fonts: { textMeasurement } }`), editor geometry, SVG rendering, and PPTX export. Without one, the existing deterministic character-width estimate remains available. A provider with `forScripts(profile)` (the renderer's registry measurement) is a script planner: `validate` and `paginate` ask it for each slide's script-aware measurement, built from the slide's `resolveScriptFonts` profile and a run language's own profile, so they measure Arabic or Japanese runs in the script faces preview and export draw.\n\n`loadFonts(options)` from `/fonts-node` returns the fonts handle: the same registry measurement (`textMeasurement`), the faces to embed in SVG (`embeddedFonts`) and the explicit raster files (`fontFiles`), with system and bundled fallback disabled for raster calls (`useBundledFonts: false`, `loadSystemFonts: false`). Pass it as `{ fonts }` to every deck-level call: `paginate`, editor geometry, `renderSvg`, `renderSlideSvg`, `toPptx`, `svgToPng` and `svgToPdf`. `pack: 'base'` is the default for authored Roboto decks; `pack: 'office'` adds the six Office substitute families and retains metric policy unless visual substitution is explicitly requested. `fonts.substitutions` records actual substitutions; the loader does not rewrite the authored document or add native embedding.\n\nRenderer 0.8.0 groups static files by their OpenType preferred family while retaining legacy family names and explicit custom namespaces. `Roboto` requests at 500/600/800 now select the actual Medium/SemiBold/ExtraBold files instead of nearby 400/700 faces. Optional `TextStyle.fontFace` carries the physical legacy family and native bold/italic flags independently of CSS numeric weight: SemiBold/ExtraBold are regular within their legacy families. The converter consumes this metadata; providers without it retain their prior behavior. Nine actual base faces pass metadata/measurement/outline checks and offline Chromium advances on Node 20/24. Seven payload slides cover serialized native selectors, deterministic output and source/reimport. These checks do not establish native Office paint, embedding or broader script coverage; see the [Mac candidate evidence](evidence/mac-font-variants/README.md).\n\nRenderer 0.8.0 uses adjacent SVG spans when no measurement provider is supplied. This closes the visible gaps caused by estimated fragment widths while retaining estimated line breaks and all run text/style/source offsets. Supplied providers and accepted placements still use exact fragment origins. Measured SVG requests geometric precision; accepted outline placements also constrain horizontal advances with `textLength`/`spacingAndGlyphs` to avoid browser quantization drift. This can scale glyphs horizontally while retaining nominal font size and baseline. Width-only providers do not receive that constraint, and constrained widths do not certify raw font-metric equivalence. The compatible editor supports both forms. This is a spacing improvement, not evidence that unmeasured wrapping or glyph coverage is accurate; see [candidate evidence](evidence/mac-rich-flow/README.md).\n\nBoth Node loaders verify exact package versions, 33 font-file hashes and eight license-notice hashes against the immutable `BUNDLED_FONT_MANIFEST` exported from `/fonts-node`. The office loader also verifies the vendored faces: the Carlito files, the 35 open-family files and the 16 Intos files, with the hashes of their licenses and, for Intos, its provenance notice. Missing/modified resources reject with actionable errors. Default raster loading now includes all nine base faces instead of omitting Roboto semibold, italic and bold italic. Font files must remain available and unchanged between preparation and raster export. Browser loading, actual glyph coverage, variant naming, rich spacing, and native compatibility remain separate requirements. These APIs are available in [renderer 0.8.0](https://github.com/OpenPresentation/opf-render/releases/tag/opf-render-v0.8.0), published against core 0.10.0 with Node 24. Prepared HarfBuzz shaping and variable-instance work remain separate drafts.\n\nThe renderer's optional font registry uses [Fontkit](https://github.com/foliojs/fontkit) to shape text and measure glyph advances from local font bytes. It does not discover system fonts or fetch fonts. The Node loader loads the renderer's bundled Roboto and Roboto Mono faces:\n\n```js\nimport { loadFonts } from '@openpresentation/opf-render/fonts-node';\nimport { renderSlideSvg, svgToPng } from '@openpresentation/opf-render';\nimport { paginate } from '@openpresentation/opf/pagination';\nimport { toPptx } from '@openpresentation/opf-pptx';\n\nconst fonts = await loadFonts(); // pack: 'base', the bundled Roboto faces\n// Use design.fontScheme: 'roboto', or supply the document's actual font files.\nconst { presentation } = paginate(deck, { fonts });\nconst svg = renderSlideSvg(presentation, 0, { fonts }); // embeds the faces it draws\nconst png = await svgToPng(svg, { fonts }); // draws with fonts.fontFiles only\nconst pptx = await toPptx(presentation, { fonts });\n```\n\n`loadFonts({ faces })` (from `/fonts-node` or `/fonts-browser`) accepts `{data: Uint8Array, weight, italic?, family?, postscriptName?, license?}` entries in Node or the browser, and `{path}` entries in Node. Weights are explicit, with 400 as the default. Supply each style that the document uses. Missing font families and unsupported glyphs fail with `OPFFontError`, including the source path where available. Collection fonts require a `postscriptName` selecting one face.\n\nAliases and fallback families are explicit choices:\n\n```js\nconst fonts = await loadFonts({\n  pack: 'none', faces,\n  aliases: { Aptos: 'Roboto', 'Aptos Display': 'Roboto' },\n  fallbackFamily: 'Roboto',\n});\nconsole.log(fonts.substitutions);\nfonts.registry.clearSubstitutions(); // Start a fresh render's diagnostic collection.\n```\n\nAn available exact family takes precedence over aliases. The registry resolves a requested weight to the closest supplied weight, reports the substitution, and makes the resolved style available to rendering. Missing italic/upright styles fail instead of synthesizing an unmeasured style. `strictGlyphs: false` is an explicit escape hatch for hosts with their own glyph-fallback policy; it is unsuitable for fidelity verification.\n\nSVG embeds supplied fonts using data URIs and includes supplied license notices as metadata. The bundled loader carries the fonts' SIL Open Font License notices. For PNG/PDF, pass the same font files to the rasterizer; its native font loader does not depend on browser CSS font loading. In a browser, wait for `document.fonts.ready` before measuring or taking a screenshot. The editor playground loads and embeds bundled fonts and displays substitutions.\n\n`svgToPdf` in renderers up to 0.11.9 was image-only: each slide was rasterized and embedded as a PNG on a PDF page. From opf-render 0.12.0 (opf-render#90, [roadmap](plans/pdf-export.md)) the default `mode: \"vector\"` writes PDF text objects in embedded TrueType subsets of the fonts you supply or the bundled open pack (the same files the PNG preview uses; system fonts are rejected, a face whose OS/2 `fsType` forbids embedding is never embedded, the report names requested and resolved faces), with `ToUnicode` maps and `/ActualText` where the glyph map cannot give the text, vector shapes, gradients and images, and no second layout pass. `mode: \"raster\"` keeps the image-per-slide output as an explicit compatibility mode. Extraction was checked in pdf.js, PDFium and poppler on Latin, CJK, right-to-left and Indic samples and all 805 example slides; PDFium misreads some Thai and Burmese marks, as it does in Chrome's own PDFs. No PDF/UA or PDF/A claim.\n\n## Office compatibility pack\n\n`loadFonts({ pack: 'office' })` from `@openpresentation/opf-render/fonts-node` supplies regular, bold, italic, and bold italic faces of Carlito, Caladea, Arimo, Tinos, Cousine, and Gelasio, plus the base Roboto pack. Package versions are pinned and each face carries its distribution's license notice. `includeBaseFonts: false` omits Roboto. Loading never installs fonts into the operating system or downloads fonts at render time.\n\n```js\nconst fonts = await loadFonts({\n  pack: 'office',\n  substitutionPolicy: 'metric', // Default for the office pack; no visual fallback.\n});\nfonts.registry.resolveFont({fontFamily: 'Calibri', fontWeight: 400});\n// requestedFamily: Calibri, resolvedFamily: Carlito, compatibility: metric\n```\n\n`loadFonts` defaults to `substitutionPolicy: 'none'` (the office pack to `'metric'`). Policies are `none`, `metric`, and `visual`; visual permits both curated tiers. An explicit `fallbackFamily` is a separate, reported `generic` fallback. Aliases are explicit visual substitutions and never establish metric compatibility. `resolveFont` reports exact resolutions as well; `substitutions` only collects changes. Resolution records include requested/resolved weights, italic, source path, and supporting upstream information where available.\n\n| Requested family | Bundled substitute | Current automatic tier |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Calibri | Carlito | Metric intent, standard 400/700 styles |\n| Cambria | Caladea | Visual: advances differ from Cambria 6.99 by a mean of 2.7% (FF-31 measurement). Metric-mode registries still use it, reported as visual (`metricModeFallback`) |\n| Arial | Arimo | Metric, standard 400/700 styles |\n| Times New Roman | Tinos | Metric, standard 400/700 styles |\n| Courier New | Cousine | Metric, standard 400/700 styles |\n| Georgia | Gelasio | Metric with `liga` and `clig` off (`disabledFeatures`, applied by opf-render): advances identical on all 300 corpus strings in four styles. With default features, ligature runs differ by up to 1.02% |\n| Calibri Light | Carlito | Visual: the bundle has no Carlito Light face |\n| Aptos, Aptos Display, Aptos Narrow, Aptos Serif | Intos, Intos Display, Intos Narrow, Intos Serif (office pack) | Metric: 0.000% mean and maximum against Aptos 2.01, all four styles; Roboto and Carlito are visual alternates |\n\nUpstream evidence: [Carlito](https://github.com/googlefonts/carlito), [Fontconfig mappings](https://chromium.googlesource.com/external/fontconfig/+/refs/heads/main/conf.d/30-metric-aliases.conf), [Arimo](https://github.com/google/fonts/blob/main/ofl/arimo/DESCRIPTION.en_us.html), [Tinos](https://github.com/google/fonts/blob/main/ofl/tinos/DESCRIPTION.en_us.html), [Cousine](https://github.com/google/fonts/blob/main/ofl/cousine/DESCRIPTION.en_us.html), and [Gelasio](https://github.com/SorkinType/Gelasio). Metric classification describes compatibility intent within the stated style scope, not universal identical output. Missing matching weights cannot silently qualify for the metric tier.\n\nRR-17: Liberation Sans, Serif and Mono are not bundled (Reserved Font Name, about 4.4 MB); a document that names them previews with Arimo, Tinos and Cousine, the Croscore faces Liberation 2 is built from (metric, 0.0000% in four styles). Each Latin replacement has a per-family qualification (`scripts/qualify-latin-fonts.mjs`) and a fixture in every host; see the [font tracker](programs/font-fidelity-everywhere/font-tracker.md).\n\nThe exported `FONT_COMPATIBILITY` list also contains optional visual candidates and CJK families. Listing a candidate does not bundle it or imply complete character coverage. Liberation Sans Narrow is a separate legacy distribution with a different license history; it is not part of this bundle. Wingdings, Webdings, and Symbol require character mapping before substitution; an ordinary fallback fails with `font-encoding-required`. Cambria Math previews with STIX Two Math and Segoe UI Emoji with Noto Color Emoji once opf-render's optional math and emoji packs are loaded (FF-45, [special families: emoji and math](programs/font-fidelity-everywhere/special-families-emoji-math.md)); without the pack a renderer reports `font-unavailable` naming it, like any other routed family (the former `math-font-required` failure is gone). OPF has no equation model: a Cambria Math run is text drawn per character in a math face, not MATH-table layout.\n\nDrawingML tokens such as `+mn-lt` resolve through the registry's explicit `themeFonts` option before substitution. Supply concrete `majorLatin`, `minorLatin`, and, where used, `majorEastAsia`, `minorEastAsia`, `majorComplexScript`, or `minorComplexScript` families. Missing theme mappings fail. This helper does not yet extract theme font records or embedded fonts from imported PPTX files.\n\n### Measured results and experimental fonts\n\n`node --import ./scripts/register-local-opf.mjs scripts/test-office-fonts.mjs --system` compares the bundle to reference fonts already installed in macOS's Supplemental directory. It does not redistribute reference fonts. The report records source-file hashes and individual shaped widths. Across four samples and four styles, Arimo/Arial, Tinos/Times New Roman, and Cousine/Courier New matched exactly on 48 runs. Gelasio/Georgia differed on ligature-containing runs, with a maximum difference of 2.0125%. Individual basic-Latin advances matched; disabling optional ligatures removed the tested difference. Until feature handling is consistent across outputs, the policy conservatively labels Gelasio approximate. Calibri and Cambria reference fonts were not available for this comparison.\n\nAkasia, assessed earlier ([v0.0.2 open-file assessment](evidence/akasia-assessment/README.md)), is dropped: its repository is no longer available, and Intos replaces it. `EXPERIMENTAL_FONT_CANDIDATES` now records Microsoft's Selawik, measured for Segoe UI on 2026-09-29 and rejected: 0.16% mean and 2.5% maximum in regular, no italic faces, 349 code points, lowercase 4.8% shorter. The acceptance rules for replacement fonts are in the [licensing table](programs/font-fidelity-everywhere/font-licensing.md#replacement-font-acceptance-rules).\n\nAn original OPF font project is technically feasible: independently designed or suitably open-licensed glyph outlines can be fitted to target advance widths, placement, vertical metrics, and shaping behavior. A successful font needs a reproducible source build, provenance, style/coverage tests, visual review, and cross-renderer conformance. Matching bounding boxes alone is insufficient: [OpenType horizontal metrics](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/opentype/spec/hmtx) and [glyph positioning](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/opentype/spec/gpos) jointly control text placement. Universal pixel identity across rasterizers is not the acceptance criterion; measured layout preservation over an explicit test matrix is.\n\n## Verification and remaining work\n\nScript fonts (CJK, Arabic, Hebrew, Indic, Thai, Khmer, Myanmar and the rest) have their own shaping corpora and per-family qualification (FF-44, RR-17): see [script-corpora.md](programs/font-fidelity-everywhere/script-corpora.md). It records, per script, glyph coverage, fontkit against HarfBuzz and Chromium, the installed originals measured in place, and the known limits (fontkit has no Myanmar shaper; the PNG path of resvg-js mis-shapes the Indic scripts, Thai, Lao, Khmer and Myanmar).\n\n`pnpm test:fonts` checks that editor and SVG geometry match and that every native PPTX text box has the same coordinates and measured line breaks. With opf-pptx FF-31 (opf-pptx#63), export names the chosen family, not the preview substitute. It writes artifacts to `artifacts/fonts/`. A real-browser check of the same Roboto run measured 324.032 pixels versus the font engine's 324.170 pixels at 25 pixels, a difference of 0.138 pixels. These are measured tolerances, not a promise of pixel identity.\n\nPPTX records the chosen font family (FF-31); it never records a preview replacement and never embeds a proprietary font binary. PowerPoint still needs those fonts installed, through Office, the OS or Microsoft 365 cloud fonts, or it substitutes them. Line height remains the shared 1.22 multiplier, rather than a complete ascent/descent model. Rich-text font overrides, mixed-script fallback and bidi layout, specialized payload internals, and native font embedding remain active fidelity work. Passing a width provider does not remove those limits.\n"
+    "markdown": "# Measured fonts and reproducible previews\n\n## Start with the installed package\n\nUse the coordinated versions in the [quickstart](quickstart.md). Load fonts once per worker with\n`loadFonts({pack: 'office', scripts: 'auto', presentation})` from `@openpresentation/opf-render/fonts-node`,\nand pass the same handle as `{fonts}` to preview and export. When reusing a worker for another deck,\nensure its required faces are loaded before rendering; bound concurrency and measure memory with your own decks.\nFor an authored Roboto deck, `pack: 'base'` avoids loading Office replacements. Neither loader reads system fonts by default.\n\nIn browsers, serve the renderer's pinned font files from your own origin and await the font handle's `ensure(presentation)`\nbefore measuring or editing. The renderer README documents font copying and the player integration. Standalone SVG must\ncarry the used font bytes; script faces require `embedScriptFonts: true` in the Node loader. The CLI's default SVG mode\nrequests this automatically (`--text fonts`); `--text system` needs matching viewer fonts, and `--text paths` draws the glyphs as outlines so the SVG needs none. PPTX normally names the authored families\nand requires them on the recipient's machine; it does not automatically embed the preview fonts.\n\nThe policy below is current. Version-specific measurements and implementation history are evidence for their named\ncheckpoints, not transfer-size budgets for every release. The [font roadmap](plans/font-roadmap.md) records historical\nplanning; use installed package APIs and measured output when choosing a deployment strategy.\n\n## Font policy (FF-31)\n\nOPF keeps one machine-readable font policy table, [`spec/reference/font-policy.json`](../spec/reference/font-policy.json). Core exports it as `FONT_POLICY`, `fontPolicyFor()` and `applyFontPolicyDecisions()` from `@openpresentation/opf` or `@openpresentation/opf/font-policy`. Each row gives a family's license class, where viewers get it, whether OPF may ever embed it, and its preview replacement with a measured width difference. It also lists alternates, ending where possible with a face that already ships with opf-render. The [licensing table](programs/font-fidelity-everywhere/font-licensing.md) lists all 153 rows. [`font-policy.schema.json`](../spec/reference/font-policy.schema.json) is its JSON Schema. The [measurement evidence](evidence/font-replacements-20260923/README.md) explains how each replacement was chosen.\n\n**The policy in brief (owner decisions, 2026-09-29).** This is the canonical statement; the sibling repositories link here.\n\n1. **The user's font selection is the source of truth.** The user picks a font, for example Aptos or Calibri through a font scheme. That name is what the document, the theme and the PPTX carry.\n2. **License-restricted (proprietary) fonts are never bundled or embedded,** so previews cannot draw them. Openly licensed fonts such as Carlito and Roboto are bundled, and \"licensed\" below always means license-restricted. Live previews, SVG, the editor and gallery thumbnails use an open look-alike instead. The goal is a replacement that looks similar and is metric-compatible (same advance widths and line metrics), so text occupies the same size on screen and wraps as it does in PowerPoint. Calibri\u2192Carlito is the model.\n3. **Where no metric-compatible open replacement exists yet,** a visual-only look-alike is a documented fallback. It is reported as visual and is a known layout-fidelity gap to close, not the intended end state. The parity scoreboard counts it as near, not perfect. The Aptos family is no longer such a case: Intos previews it as metric.\n4. **PPTX export always writes the selected font name,** for example `typeface=\"Aptos\"` in the theme and in runs, never the replacement. PowerPoint then opens the file and shows the actual font, installed or as a Microsoft 365 cloud font.\n5. **Only open fonts may be embedded,** through the explicit embed path (FF-13).\n6. **Font files are bundled, never hotlinked.** Fonts, Google Fonts included, ship as pinned files (an exact npm version, or a vendored file with a recorded sha256) and are never loaded at runtime from a font CDN. That protects visitor privacy (a German court held the Google Fonts CDN a GDPR violation in 2022) and keeps previews offline-capable and audits reproducible. Build-time self-hosting such as `next/font/google` is not a hotlink but is not pinned, so use `next/font/local` with pinned files. Guards fail on CDN references in every repository.\n7. **Every bundled face records a verified permissive license.** Allowed: exactly OFL-1.1, Apache-2.0, MIT and UFL-1.0; not GPL, LGPL, AGPL, proprietary or unclear public-domain fonts. The record has the SPDX id, any Reserved Font Name the copyright block declares, the source URL, package@version and sha256, all checked against the LICENSE file the font ships with. A modified version (subset, instance, conversion) may not use a Reserved Font Name in its name: a family whose served name contains its reserved name (Carlito, Raleway) is bundled only as the unmodified upstream file, while one that reserves another name (Noto Sans JP reserves \"Source\") may be modified. Details and enforcement: [Font files: bundling and licenses](programs/font-fidelity-everywhere/font-licensing.md#font-files-bundling-and-licenses).\n\n**Release status.** Point 4 is published: opf-pptx 0.10.0 and later (current 0.15.0) write the selected name into the PPTX, and the editor and pptx.gallery builds that depend on the release-plan set export it. opf-pptx 0.9.1 and earlier wrote the substitute.\n\n1. **Licensed, non-free fonts are never bundled or embedded.** This covers Aptos, Calibri, Cambria, Segoe UI, Georgia, Tahoma, Grandview, Seaford, Tenorite, Consolas, Times New Roman, Arial, Courier New and the Windows script fonts. Rendering uses the family's designated open replacement instead:\n   - **Metric-compatible** is the goal, used where a replacement exists and measures identical: Calibri\u2192Carlito, Arial\u2192Arimo, Times New Roman\u2192Tinos, Courier New\u2192Cousine and Georgia\u2192Gelasio. A metric row needs an upstream statement and a measurement in all four styles, with a mean width difference below 0.1% and no corpus string more than 0.3% off. Georgia\u2192Gelasio passes only with Gelasio shaped with its `liga` and `clig` features off (the row lists them as `disabledFeatures`): with default features Gelasio ligates fi, fl, ffi and ffl, which Georgia does not, and runs differ by up to 1.02%. With them off every one of the 300 corpus strings matches in all four styles (mean and maximum below 0.01%). opf-render turns those features off in measurement and in SVG, so a renderer that does not is visual against Georgia.\n   - **Size adjustment** (RR-38): a visual replacement whose advances and glyphs are far from the real font's can carry `sizeAdjust`, a preview-only font-size multiplier. A renderer scales the replacement's size by it when it measures and when it draws, so lines have the length PowerPoint's have; core's composed geometry, the exported sizes and every PPTX are unchanged. Arabic Typesetting\u2192Noto Naskh Arabic is 0.64 (the real font's advances are 0.643 of the replacement's over the Arabic corpus; its ink height is 0.71, so glyphs draw about 10 percent smaller than PowerPoint's). It applies only when the face drawn is the row's replacement. `lineAscent` and `lineAscentMixed` (em; Arabic Typesetting 0.70 and 0.78, measured in a native PowerPoint 365 probe against the font's hhea ascent of 0.701) say where PowerPoint puts the baseline below the top of a line box, for a line in the real font alone and for a line that also holds other fonts; a renderer that puts baselines one em below the line top moves such runs up by `1 - lineAscent` em.\n   - **Alternates** are tried, in order, when the declared replacement's pack is not loaded. An alternate is always reported as visual, including on a metric row.\n   - **Aptos family:** Aptos\u2192Intos, Aptos Display\u2192Intos Display, Aptos Narrow\u2192Intos Narrow and Aptos Serif\u2192Intos Serif are metric: 0.000% mean and maximum against Aptos 2.01 in all four styles, with equal vertical metrics.\n   - **Otherwise the closest measured open face**, marked visual: a documented fallback and a known layout-fidelity gap until a metric-compatible replacement exists. For example, Segoe UI\u2192Red Hat Display measures a 1.72% mean width difference.\n2. **The PPTX always names the chosen family, and no font file is included.** The exporter writes `Aptos` when the document chose Aptos. PowerPoint resolves standard fonts on the viewer's machine: those shipped with Office, Windows or macOS, and Microsoft 365 cloud fonts. The replacement never reaches the package (opf-pptx `test/export-chosen-fonts.mjs`).\n3. **Openly licensed fonts render as themselves.** Examples are Roboto, Carlito and the Noto script families. They can reach a PPTX only through an explicit embed path (FF-13), never by default.\n4. **Families that are proprietary and non-standard, or missing from the table,** keep their name in the PPTX. `fontAvailabilityDiagnostics()` reports that viewers may lack them. It also flags Microsoft 365 cloud-only fonts (such as Aptos) and families that ship only in an optional Windows language feature.\n\n### Which faces are available\n\nopf-render ships only fonts that it already pins and hash-verifies:\n- **Base pack:** Roboto and Roboto Mono.\n- **Office pack:** Carlito, Caladea, Arimo, Tinos, Cousine and Gelasio.\n- **Office pack, Aptos family:** Intos, Intos Display, Intos Narrow and Intos Serif (OFL-1.1, vendored in opf-render at a pinned commit, unmodified from the upstream files). A registry built without them (for example the base pack alone) falls back to the alternates Roboto and Carlito, reported as visual.\n- **Optional `scripts` pack (FF-19):** Noto for non-Latin scripts and CJK.\n\nSome replacements are open families that no renderer pack ships yet, such as Red Hat Display for Segoe UI and Red Hat Text for Tahoma. For these, the renderer tries the declared replacement first, then the alternates. The last alternate is the best measured bundled face, so previews stay deterministic without any extra download. `registry.substitutions` records which face was used and its tier. The proposed `catalog` pack (21 OFL `@expo-google-fonts` packages, listed in the opf-render PR) would make the declared replacements and the open catalog families available. Downloading it needs approval, and it is not part of this change.\n\n| Environment | Open catalog families | Proprietary families | When the real font is required |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Local Node, cloud or serverless (`loadFonts({pack: 'office', substitutionPolicy: 'visual'})` from `/fonts-node`) | Exact when a pack ships them (Roboto, Carlito, \u2026, Noto with `scripts`) | Metric replacement: identical widths. Visual replacement: approximate, reported in `fonts.substitutions` with the measured delta | Supply licensed files with `loadFonts({faces: [{path, family, weight, italic}]})`; they resolve as exact faces |\n| Strict mode (`substitutionPolicy: 'metric'`) | Exact | Metric replacements only | `font-unavailable` names the license class, the declared replacement and tier, the pack, and the caller hook. There is never a silent wrong-metric fallback |\n| Browser (`loadFonts` from `/fonts-browser`) | Exact when the host serves the pack files | Same replacement rules | Same hook: pass the caller's own faces |\n| PowerPoint (exported PPTX) | Named; the viewer needs the font or substitutes | The selected name, never the replacement: the real font on Office, Windows or macOS, or through Microsoft 365 cloud fonts | Named; the viewer substitutes |\n\n**Aptos, the default scheme.** Aptos is a Microsoft 365 cloud font and is not redistributable. Under the owner policy of 2026-09-29 it previews with Intos, an OFL font whose advance widths, kerning and vertical metrics equal Aptos 2.01: 0.000% mean and maximum width difference over the 300-string corpus in regular, bold, italic and bold italic, for Aptos, Aptos Display, Aptos Narrow and Aptos Serif (Aptos Serif measured from Microsoft's standalone Aptos Fonts download, the others from the Microsoft 365 cloud fonts). Line breaks, line heights and text sizes therefore agree with Aptos. The letter shapes are Intos's own (Inter-derived, Gelasio-derived for the serif), not Aptos's. The exported PPTX still names Aptos, Aptos Display, Aptos Narrow or Aptos Serif, and no Aptos file is bundled or embedded. Deployments that hold an Aptos license can pass the real files through `faces` for exact previews.\n\nIntos ships in opf-render's default office pack (`loadFonts({pack: 'office'})`), about 12 MB of font files, so the default metric policy previews the Aptos family without asking for visual mode. Without those faces, previews fall back to the alternates Roboto and Carlito, marked visual. Like the open families, Intos is an `embed: \"used\"` face: `registry.embeddedFonts` stays the 33 eager npm faces, the handle's `embeddedFonts` supplies it, and a standalone SVG embeds only the Intos faces its text draws (an Aptos slide: Intos regular and Intos Display bold, 14.7 MB with the eager faces, against 20.7 MB with all eight styles). Intos is a single-maintainer project started in September 2026, so it is pinned by commit and SHA-256 and the previous replacements stay as alternates. The pptx.gallery parity scoreboard's `fontResolution` check counts the Aptos family as perfect because the replacement is metric-compatible.\n\n**Browser hosts load the vendored faces on demand.** The eager list is what a host puts in one `fonts.json` (12.6 MB); the vendored faces (Intos and the open families, `registry.lazyFonts`, 51 faces) would add 19.4 MB, so they ship as separate hash-pinned files at their package-relative paths (`fonts/intos/...`, `fonts/<family>/...`) and load through `loadFonts({faces, lazyFontsBaseUrl})` from `/fonts-browser`. `await fonts.ensure(presentation)` (the registry's `ensureLazyFonts` and `ensureScripts` are the lower-level calls) fetches and verifies only the faces the document draws (renderer 0.11.5, face level: a plain Aptos deck needs Intos Display Bold and Intos Regular, 2 files, 1.5 MB; an italic or bold run adds one face; before 0.11.5 it was every face of the resolved families, 8 files, 5.9 MB), then adds them to the document and the registry together, so the editor never measures with a face it paints as a fallback. The gallery commits only a pinned manifest, `lazy-fonts.json` (`scripts/gallery-lazy-fonts.mjs`, written by `build-registry-gallery-editor` from the published renderer's manifest when the pinned editor example sets `lazyFontsBaseUrl`, and copied by `prepare-gallery-editor`): exact renderer version, SPDX license, license-file hash and every face's SHA-256, no bytes. The gallery's own build copies the faces from the pinned renderer package's `fonts/` directory into an untracked path, verifying each hash, the way it does for script fonts. The local editor demo (`build-editor-demo`, through `scripts/emit-lazy-fonts.mjs`) copies the files beside the page instead. The editor playground calls `fonts.ensure(presentation)` when a document needs them. `node scripts/test-editor-lazy-fonts.mjs` drives the built playground in Chromium.\n\nThe [Windows reference-font advance study](evidence/shared-metric-native-anchor/font-study-comparison.json) is exploratory source-checkpoint evidence, not an additional compatibility certification. It measures 1,024 cases across regular/bold Calibri, Arial, Times New Roman and Courier New, recording local reference-file versions/hashes and native font-slot names. Disabling optional ligatures and rounding base glyph advances to eighth-point steps predicts 949 observations within 0.02pt; 75 outliers remain, including combining marks, Arabic and Calibri kerning. Office theme tokens and per-glyph fallback are not resolved to exact native files by these name properties. No runtime provider or open-font mapping changes from this hypothesis, and no reference font is redistributed.\n\nThe composition API accepts a `textMeasurement` provider. A provider resolves font faces and returns actual text widths; callers pass the same provider to pagination (as `{ fonts: { textMeasurement } }`), editor geometry, SVG rendering, and PPTX export. Without one, the existing deterministic character-width estimate remains available. A provider with `forScripts(profile)` (the renderer's registry measurement) is a script planner: `validate` and `paginate` ask it for each slide's script-aware measurement, built from the slide's `resolveScriptFonts` profile and a run language's own profile, so they measure Arabic or Japanese runs in the script faces preview and export draw.\n\n`loadFonts(options)` from `/fonts-node` returns the fonts handle: the same registry measurement (`textMeasurement`), the faces to embed in SVG (`embeddedFonts`) and the explicit raster files (`fontFiles`), with system and bundled fallback disabled for raster calls (`useBundledFonts: false`, `loadSystemFonts: false`). Pass it as `{ fonts }` to every deck-level call: `paginate`, editor geometry, `toSvg`, `toPng`, `toPdf` and `toPptx`. `pack: 'base'` is the default for authored Roboto decks; `pack: 'office'` adds the six Office substitute families and retains metric policy unless visual substitution is explicitly requested. `fonts.substitutions` records actual substitutions; the loader does not rewrite the authored document or add native embedding.\n\nRenderer 0.8.0 groups static files by their OpenType preferred family while retaining legacy family names and explicit custom namespaces. `Roboto` requests at 500/600/800 now select the actual Medium/SemiBold/ExtraBold files instead of nearby 400/700 faces. Optional `TextStyle.fontFace` carries the physical legacy family and native bold/italic flags independently of CSS numeric weight: SemiBold/ExtraBold are regular within their legacy families. The converter consumes this metadata; providers without it retain their prior behavior. Nine actual base faces pass metadata/measurement/outline checks and offline Chromium advances on Node 20/24. Seven payload slides cover serialized native selectors, deterministic output and source/reimport. These checks do not establish native Office paint, embedding or broader script coverage; see the [Mac candidate evidence](evidence/mac-font-variants/README.md).\n\nRenderer 0.8.0 uses adjacent SVG spans when no measurement provider is supplied. This closes the visible gaps caused by estimated fragment widths while retaining estimated line breaks and all run text/style/source offsets. Supplied providers and accepted placements still use exact fragment origins. Measured SVG requests geometric precision; accepted outline placements also constrain horizontal advances with `textLength`/`spacingAndGlyphs` to avoid browser quantization drift. This can scale glyphs horizontally while retaining nominal font size and baseline. Width-only providers do not receive that constraint, and constrained widths do not certify raw font-metric equivalence. The compatible editor supports both forms. This is a spacing improvement, not evidence that unmeasured wrapping or glyph coverage is accurate; see [candidate evidence](evidence/mac-rich-flow/README.md).\n\nBoth Node loaders verify exact package versions, 33 font-file hashes and eight license-notice hashes against the immutable `BUNDLED_FONT_MANIFEST` exported from `/fonts-node`. The office loader also verifies the vendored faces: the Carlito files, the 35 open-family files and the 16 Intos files, with the hashes of their licenses and, for Intos, its provenance notice. Missing/modified resources reject with actionable errors. Default raster loading now includes all nine base faces instead of omitting Roboto semibold, italic and bold italic. Font files must remain available and unchanged between preparation and raster export. Browser loading, actual glyph coverage, variant naming, rich spacing, and native compatibility remain separate requirements. These APIs are available in [renderer 0.8.0](https://github.com/OpenPresentation/opf-render/releases/tag/opf-render-v0.8.0), published against core 0.10.0 with Node 24. Prepared HarfBuzz shaping and variable-instance work remain separate drafts.\n\nThe renderer's optional font registry uses [Fontkit](https://github.com/foliojs/fontkit) to shape text and measure glyph advances from local font bytes. It does not discover system fonts or fetch fonts. The Node loader loads the renderer's bundled Roboto and Roboto Mono faces:\n\n```js\nimport { loadFonts } from '@openpresentation/opf-render/fonts-node';\nimport { toSvg, toPng } from '@openpresentation/opf-render';\nimport { paginate } from '@openpresentation/opf/pagination';\nimport { toPptx } from '@openpresentation/opf-pptx';\n\nconst fonts = await loadFonts(); // pack: 'base', the bundled Roboto faces\n// Use design.fontScheme: 'roboto', or supply the document's actual font files.\nconst { presentation } = paginate(deck, { fonts });\nconst svg = toSvg(presentation, 1, { fonts }); // slide 1; embeds the faces it draws (text: 'paths' draws outlines instead)\nconst png = await toPng(svg, { fonts }); // draws with fonts.fontFiles only\nconst pptx = await toPptx(presentation, { fonts });\n```\n\n`loadFonts({ faces })` (from `/fonts-node` or `/fonts-browser`) accepts `{data: Uint8Array, weight, italic?, family?, postscriptName?, license?}` entries in Node or the browser, and `{path}` entries in Node. Weights are explicit, with 400 as the default. Supply each style that the document uses. Missing font families and unsupported glyphs fail with `OPFFontError`, including the source path where available. Collection fonts require a `postscriptName` selecting one face.\n\nAliases and fallback families are explicit choices:\n\n```js\nconst fonts = await loadFonts({\n  pack: 'none', faces,\n  aliases: { Aptos: 'Roboto', 'Aptos Display': 'Roboto' },\n  fallbackFamily: 'Roboto',\n});\nconsole.log(fonts.substitutions);\nfonts.registry.clearSubstitutions(); // Start a fresh render's diagnostic collection.\n```\n\nAn available exact family takes precedence over aliases. The registry resolves a requested weight to the closest supplied weight, reports the substitution, and makes the resolved style available to rendering. Missing italic/upright styles fail instead of synthesizing an unmeasured style. `strictGlyphs: false` is an explicit escape hatch for hosts with their own glyph-fallback policy; it is unsuitable for fidelity verification.\n\nSVG embeds supplied fonts using data URIs and includes supplied license notices as metadata. The bundled loader carries the fonts' SIL Open Font License notices. For PNG/PDF, pass the same font files to the rasterizer; its native font loader does not depend on browser CSS font loading. In a browser, wait for `document.fonts.ready` before measuring or taking a screenshot. The editor playground loads and embeds bundled fonts and displays substitutions.\n\n`toPdf` (`svgToPdf` before 0.18) in renderers up to 0.11.9 was image-only: each slide was rasterized and embedded as a PNG on a PDF page. From opf-render 0.12.0 (opf-render#90, [roadmap](plans/pdf-export.md)) the default vector mode writes PDF text objects in embedded TrueType subsets of the fonts you supply or the bundled open pack (the same files the PNG preview uses; system fonts are rejected, a face whose OS/2 `fsType` forbids embedding is never embedded, the report names requested and resolved faces), with `ToUnicode` maps and `/ActualText` where the glyph map cannot give the text, vector shapes, gradients and images, and no second layout pass. `raster: true` (`mode: \"raster\"` before 0.18) keeps the image-per-slide output as an explicit compatibility mode. Extraction was checked in pdf.js, PDFium and poppler on Latin, CJK, right-to-left and Indic samples and all 805 example slides; PDFium misreads some Thai and Burmese marks, as it does in Chrome's own PDFs. No PDF/UA or PDF/A claim.\n\n## Office compatibility pack\n\n`loadFonts({ pack: 'office' })` from `@openpresentation/opf-render/fonts-node` supplies regular, bold, italic, and bold italic faces of Carlito, Caladea, Arimo, Tinos, Cousine, and Gelasio, plus the base Roboto pack. Package versions are pinned and each face carries its distribution's license notice. `includeBaseFonts: false` omits Roboto. Loading never installs fonts into the operating system or downloads fonts at render time.\n\n```js\nconst fonts = await loadFonts({\n  pack: 'office',\n  substitutionPolicy: 'metric', // Default for the office pack; no visual fallback.\n});\nfonts.registry.resolveFont({fontFamily: 'Calibri', fontWeight: 400});\n// requestedFamily: Calibri, resolvedFamily: Carlito, compatibility: metric\n```\n\n`loadFonts` defaults to `substitutionPolicy: 'none'` (the office pack to `'metric'`). Policies are `none`, `metric`, and `visual`; visual permits both curated tiers. An explicit `fallbackFamily` is a separate, reported `generic` fallback. Aliases are explicit visual substitutions and never establish metric compatibility. `resolveFont` reports exact resolutions as well; `substitutions` only collects changes. Resolution records include requested/resolved weights, italic, source path, and supporting upstream information where available.\n\n| Requested family | Bundled substitute | Current automatic tier |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Calibri | Carlito | Metric intent, standard 400/700 styles |\n| Cambria | Caladea | Visual: advances differ from Cambria 6.99 by a mean of 2.7% (FF-31 measurement). Metric-mode registries still use it, reported as visual (`metricModeFallback`) |\n| Arial | Arimo | Metric, standard 400/700 styles |\n| Times New Roman | Tinos | Metric, standard 400/700 styles |\n| Courier New | Cousine | Metric, standard 400/700 styles |\n| Georgia | Gelasio | Metric with `liga` and `clig` off (`disabledFeatures`, applied by opf-render): advances identical on all 300 corpus strings in four styles. With default features, ligature runs differ by up to 1.02% |\n| Calibri Light | Carlito | Visual: the bundle has no Carlito Light face |\n| Aptos, Aptos Display, Aptos Narrow, Aptos Serif | Intos, Intos Display, Intos Narrow, Intos Serif (office pack) | Metric: 0.000% mean and maximum against Aptos 2.01, all four styles; Roboto and Carlito are visual alternates |\n\nUpstream evidence: [Carlito](https://github.com/googlefonts/carlito), [Fontconfig mappings](https://chromium.googlesource.com/external/fontconfig/+/refs/heads/main/conf.d/30-metric-aliases.conf), [Arimo](https://github.com/google/fonts/blob/main/ofl/arimo/DESCRIPTION.en_us.html), [Tinos](https://github.com/google/fonts/blob/main/ofl/tinos/DESCRIPTION.en_us.html), [Cousine](https://github.com/google/fonts/blob/main/ofl/cousine/DESCRIPTION.en_us.html), and [Gelasio](https://github.com/SorkinType/Gelasio). Metric classification describes compatibility intent within the stated style scope, not universal identical output. Missing matching weights cannot silently qualify for the metric tier.\n\nRR-17: Liberation Sans, Serif and Mono are not bundled (Reserved Font Name, about 4.4 MB); a document that names them previews with Arimo, Tinos and Cousine, the Croscore faces Liberation 2 is built from (metric, 0.0000% in four styles). Each Latin replacement has a per-family qualification (`scripts/qualify-latin-fonts.mjs`) and a fixture in every host; see the [font tracker](programs/font-fidelity-everywhere/font-tracker.md).\n\nThe exported `FONT_COMPATIBILITY` list also contains optional visual candidates and CJK families. Listing a candidate does not bundle it or imply complete character coverage. Liberation Sans Narrow is a separate legacy distribution with a different license history; it is not part of this bundle. Wingdings, Webdings, and Symbol require character mapping before substitution; an ordinary fallback fails with `font-encoding-required`. Cambria Math previews with STIX Two Math and Segoe UI Emoji with Noto Color Emoji once opf-render's optional math and emoji packs are loaded (FF-45, [special families: emoji and math](programs/font-fidelity-everywhere/special-families-emoji-math.md)); without the pack a renderer reports `font-unavailable` naming it, like any other routed family (the former `math-font-required` failure is gone). OPF has no equation model: a Cambria Math run is text drawn per character in a math face, not MATH-table layout.\n\nDrawingML tokens such as `+mn-lt` resolve through the registry's explicit `themeFonts` option before substitution. Supply concrete `majorLatin`, `minorLatin`, and, where used, `majorEastAsia`, `minorEastAsia`, `majorComplexScript`, or `minorComplexScript` families. Missing theme mappings fail. This helper does not yet extract theme font records or embedded fonts from imported PPTX files.\n\n### Measured results and experimental fonts\n\n`node --import ./scripts/register-local-opf.mjs scripts/test-office-fonts.mjs --system` compares the bundle to reference fonts already installed in macOS's Supplemental directory. It does not redistribute reference fonts. The report records source-file hashes and individual shaped widths. Across four samples and four styles, Arimo/Arial, Tinos/Times New Roman, and Cousine/Courier New matched exactly on 48 runs. Gelasio/Georgia differed on ligature-containing runs, with a maximum difference of 2.0125%. Individual basic-Latin advances matched; disabling optional ligatures removed the tested difference. Until feature handling is consistent across outputs, the policy conservatively labels Gelasio approximate. Calibri and Cambria reference fonts were not available for this comparison.\n\nAkasia, assessed earlier ([v0.0.2 open-file assessment](evidence/akasia-assessment/README.md)), is dropped: its repository is no longer available, and Intos replaces it. `EXPERIMENTAL_FONT_CANDIDATES` now records Microsoft's Selawik, measured for Segoe UI on 2026-09-29 and rejected: 0.16% mean and 2.5% maximum in regular, no italic faces, 349 code points, lowercase 4.8% shorter. The acceptance rules for replacement fonts are in the [licensing table](programs/font-fidelity-everywhere/font-licensing.md#replacement-font-acceptance-rules).\n\nAn original OPF font project is technically feasible: independently designed or suitably open-licensed glyph outlines can be fitted to target advance widths, placement, vertical metrics, and shaping behavior. A successful font needs a reproducible source build, provenance, style/coverage tests, visual review, and cross-renderer conformance. Matching bounding boxes alone is insufficient: [OpenType horizontal metrics](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/opentype/spec/hmtx) and [glyph positioning](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/opentype/spec/gpos) jointly control text placement. Universal pixel identity across rasterizers is not the acceptance criterion; measured layout preservation over an explicit test matrix is.\n\n## Verification and remaining work\n\nScript fonts (CJK, Arabic, Hebrew, Indic, Thai, Khmer, Myanmar and the rest) have their own shaping corpora and per-family qualification (FF-44, RR-17): see [script-corpora.md](programs/font-fidelity-everywhere/script-corpora.md). It records, per script, glyph coverage, fontkit against HarfBuzz and Chromium, the installed originals measured in place, and the known limits (fontkit has no Myanmar shaper; the PNG path of resvg-js mis-shapes the Indic scripts, Thai, Lao, Khmer and Myanmar).\n\n`pnpm test:fonts` checks that editor and SVG geometry match and that every native PPTX text box has the same coordinates and measured line breaks. With opf-pptx FF-31 (opf-pptx#63), export names the chosen family, not the preview substitute. It writes artifacts to `artifacts/fonts/`. A real-browser check of the same Roboto run measured 324.032 pixels versus the font engine's 324.170 pixels at 25 pixels, a difference of 0.138 pixels. These are measured tolerances, not a promise of pixel identity.\n\nPPTX records the chosen font family (FF-31); it never records a preview replacement and never embeds a proprietary font binary. PowerPoint still needs those fonts installed, through Office, the OS or Microsoft 365 cloud fonts, or it substitutes them. Line height remains the shared 1.22 multiplier, rather than a complete ascent/descent model. Rich-text font overrides, mixed-script fallback and bidi layout, specialized payload internals, and native font embedding remain active fidelity work. Passing a width provider does not remove those limits.\n"

The kind is inferred from the field: `text`, `items` (list), `bullets`, `image`, `video`, `chart`, `table`, `code`, `metric`, `quote`, `timeline`. Several kinds at the root are shorthand for `blocks`.\n2. **`blocks`** \u2014 an ordered array of payloads when placement should stay engine-inferred. A block is a leaf payload or a **group**: `{ "type": "group", "blocks": [...], "composition": { ... } }`. Groups nest (hard cap 32; stay \u2264 3 in practice) and cannot mix `blocks` with leaf fields.\n3. **Promoted regions** \u2014 a 3\xD73 grid when position matters. Rows `top|middle|bottom`, columns `left|center|right`, spans with `+`, intersections with `:` \u2014 `"left"`, `"center+right"`, `"top:left"`, `"middle+bottom:center+right"`. Keys must not overlap; regions cannot mix with a root payload.\n\n`composition` (on a slide or group) arranges children: `{ "mode": "auto|grid|row|column", "columns": 1-12, "weights": [..], "gap": 0-0.1, "padding": 0-0.2, "minFontSize": 8-32, "overflow": "warn|error" }`. Weights are relative track sizes; gap/padding are fractions of the canvas short edge. Engines own placement \u2014 there is no x/y.\n\nPayload notes: chart is `{ "type": "<chart-type id>", "data": { "columns": [...], "rows": [...] } }` or `{ "data": { "dataset": "<id>" } }`; table rows may hold scalars, `TextRun[]`, or styled cells `{ "value", "style": { "fill", "color", "align", "borders", ... }, "colSpan", "rowSpan" }`; `metric`/`quote`/`code` accept string shorthand; list nesting uses `level` on items, not nested payloads.\n\n## Rich text and color references\n\n`text`, list items, bullets, and table cells accept `TextRun[]`: strings or `{ "text", "bold", "italic", "underline", "strikethrough", "color", "fontSize", "fontFamily", "link", "superscript", "subscript" }`.\n\nEvery content color field (`TextRun.color`, table cell `style.fill` / `style.color`, cell border `color`) accepts three forms:\n\n- Literal hex: `"#0F172A"`, `"#B42318CC"`.\n- A color-scheme name, resolved through the effective scheme: slots `accent1`\u2013`accent6`, `dark1`, `dark2`, `light1`, `light2`, `hyperlink`, `followedHyperlink`, or roles `primary`, `secondary`, `accent`, `background`, `surface`, `text`, `textSecondary`.\n- A variable reference `var:<id>` into the top-level map: `"variables": { "risk": "#B42318" }` (or `{ "type": "color", "value": "#B42318", "description": "..." }`).\n\nPrefer names and variables over hex \u2014 they survive re-theming. Unknown `var:` ids warn, never error. The styled cell and border color fields enforce the three forms at the schema level; run colors tolerate any string (unrecognized values warn and renderers fall back to the theme), so imported decks keep validating.\n\n## Ids and extensions\n\n`id` is optional on slides and on any content payload (including groups), unique document-wide. Use ids when something outside the document must address content across edits \u2014 patch edits, comments, review state. `extensions` objects at document, slide, and payload scope carry machine state; engines ignore and preserve them.\n\n## Catalog references\n\nReusable records live in catalogs; a reference is a bare id or `name:id`: `narrative`, `tone`, `purpose`, `audience`, `design.theme`, `design.colorScheme`, `design.fontScheme`, `Slide.layout`. `catalogs` holds the records a document embeds, grouped by catalog: `default` (with its `source`), `custom` (the document\'s own) and named groups (`"acme": { "source": "pkg:@acme/opf-catalog", ... }`, referenced as `acme:hero`).

+    "markdown": '# OPF format card\n\nA self-contained authoring reference for agents and humans writing `*.opf.json` documents, sized for pasting into a model\'s context. The canonical contract is the JSON Schema (`https://openpresentation.org/schema/opf/v1`, in [`spec/schemas/opf.schema.json`](../spec/schemas/opf.schema.json)); this card compresses it. Validate with `validate` from `@openpresentation/opf` or `opf validate <file>` ([validate](validate.md)).\n\n## Document shape\n\nA presentation is one JSON object; only `slides` is required.\n\n```json\n{ "name": "Minimal Deck", "slides": [{ "title": "Minimal Deck" }] }\n```\n\nOptional top-level fields, grouped:\n\n- Identity: `name`, `description`, `filename`, `author`, `organization`, `speaker`, `tags`.\n- Intent (used by AI generation): `audience`, `purpose`, `tone`, `language`, `narrative`, `takeaway`, `duration`.\n- Appearance: `design` (`theme`, `colorScheme`, `fontScheme`, `dimensions`, `background`, `logo` override, `watermark`, `header`, `footer`, alignment hints), `variables`; logos themselves live on `organization`.\n- Resources: `assets` (registry referenced as `asset:<id>`), `catalogs` (the records the document embeds, grouped by catalog: `default`, `custom` and named groups with a `source`).\n- Machine state: `extensions` (preserved, never rendered).\n\n## Slides and content\n\nA slide carries `title` / `subtitle` / `tag` / `notes` / `section` / `beat` / `layout` / `id` / `extensions` plus content in one of three shapes \u2014 pick the loosest that says what you mean:\n\n1. **Root payload** \u2014 content-kind fields directly on the slide. The kind is inferred from the field: `text`, `items` (list), `bullets`, `image`, `video`, `chart`, `table`, `code`, `metric`, `quote`, `timeline`. Several kinds at the root are shorthand for `blocks`.\n2. **`blocks`** \u2014 an ordered array of payloads when placement should stay engine-inferred. A block is a leaf payload or a **group**: `{ "type": "group", "blocks": [...], "composition": { ... } }`. Groups nest (hard cap 32; stay \u2264 3 in practice) and cannot mix `blocks` with leaf fields.\n3. **Promoted regions** \u2014 a 3\xD73 grid when position matters. Rows `top|middle|bottom`, columns `left|center|right`, spans with `+`, intersections with `:` \u2014 `"left"`, `"center+right"`, `"top:left"`, `"middle+bottom:center+right"`. Keys must not overlap; regions cannot mix with a root payload.\n\n`composition` (on a slide or group) arranges children: `{ "mode": "auto|grid|row|column", "columns": 1-12, "weights": [..], "gap": 0-0.1, "padding": 0-0.2, "minFontSize": 8-32, "overflow": "warn|error" }`. Weights are relative track sizes; gap/padding are fractions of the canvas short edge. Engines own placement \u2014 there is no x/y.\n\nPayload notes: chart is `{ "type": "<chart-type id>", "data": { "columns": [...], "rows": [...] } }` or `{ "data": { "dataset": "<id>" } }`; table rows may hold scalars, `TextRun[]`, or styled cells `{ "value", "style": { "fill", "color", "align", "borders", ... }, "colSpan", "rowSpan" }`; `metric`/`quote`/`code` accept string shorthand; list nesting uses `level` on items, not nested payloads.\n\n## Rich text and color references\n\n`text`, list items, bullets, and table cells accept `TextRun[]`: strings or `{ "text", "bold", "italic", "underline", "strikethrough", "color", "fontSize", "fontFamily", "link", "superscript", "subscript" }`.\n\nEvery content color field (`TextRun.color`, table cell `style.fill` / `style.color`, cell border `color`) accepts three forms:\n\n- Literal hex: `"#0F172A"`, `"#B42318CC"`.\n- A color-scheme name, resolved through the effective scheme: slots `accent1`\u2013`accent6`, `dark1`, `dark2`, `light1`, `light2`, `hyperlink`, `followedHyperlink`, or roles `primary`, `secondary`, `accent`, `background`, `surface`, `text`, `textSecondary`.\n- A variable reference `var:<id>` into the top-level map: `"variables": { "risk": "#B42318" }` (or `{ "type": "color", "value": "#B42318", "description": "..." }`).\n\nPrefer names and variables over hex \u2014 they survive re-theming. Unknown `var:` ids warn, never error. The styled cell and border color fields enforce the three forms at the schema level; run colors tolerate any string (unrecognized values warn and renderers fall back to the theme), so imported decks keep validating.\n\n## Ids and extensions\n\n`id` is optional on slides and on any content payload (including groups), unique document-wide. Use ids when something outside the document must address content across edits \u2014 patch edits, comments, review state. `extensions` objects at document, slide, and payload scope carry machine state; engines ignore and preserve them.\n\n## Catalog references\n\nReusable records live in catalogs; a reference is a bare id or `name:id`: `narrative`, `tone`, `purpose`, `audience`, `design.theme`, `design.colorScheme`, `design.fontScheme`, `Slide.layout`. `catalogs` holds the records a document embeds, grouped by catalog: `default` (with its `source`), `custom` (the document\'s own) and named groups (`"acme": { "source": "pkg:@acme/opf-catalog", ... }`, referenced as `acme:hero`). Resolution: `custom` \u2192 embedded `default` \u2192 the catalog the host registered for its source; nothing is fetched. Object form overrides a record per key: `{ "id": "cool-horizon", "accent1": "#0F4C81" }`. A reference that resolves nowhere warns (`opf/unresolved-reference`), never errors. `opf embed <in> <out>` embeds every record a document uses so it renders with no catalog registered. `language` (a BCP-47 tag), `Chart.type` and the socials keys are engine vocabularies, not references.\n\n## Design in three lines\n\n`design.theme` bundles scheme + fonts + background + dimensions; `design.colorScheme` / `fontScheme` override it; `slides[].design` overrides per slide; resolution is per field, most specific wins. Backgrounds accept slot names (`"light1"`) or hex. `false` suppresses inherited `watermark` / `header` / `footer`. A header or footer zone (`left` / `center` / `right`) takes `image`, `text`, `socials`, `date`, laid out side by side in that order; generated values are variables in `text`: `"{{slide.number}} / {{deck.slideCount}}"`, `"{{slide.section}}"`, `"{{organization.name}}"` (the slide-scoped `{{slide.number}}`, `{{slide.section}}`, `{{deck.slideCount}}` also work in body text). Logos live on `organization.logo` (one path, or `full` / `stacked` / `icon` / `wordmark`, each a path or `{ onLight, onDark }`); place one with `"image": "var:organization.logo.icon"`; covers draw the full logo, and `design.logo` is only an override reference or `false`.\n\n## Prefer / never\n\nPrefer: string shorthands; bare ids for default-catalog records; inference over explicit `type`; regions only when position matters; groups only when `blocks` ordering is not enough; names/`var:` over hex in color fields; `items` for lists and `bullets` only for plain talking points (never both in one block or region; see [content payloads](content-payloads.md#items-versus-bullets)).\n\nNever: loose chart or table fields directly on a slide; region keys mixed with a root payload; overlapping region keys; `blocks` mixed with leaf fields on one payload; duplicate ids; x/y or pixel geometry (it does not exist in OPF).\n\n## Two canonical slides\n\n```json\n{\n  "id": "headline",\n  "title": "Adoption Doubled",\n  "left": { "id": "kpi", "metric": { "value": "2.1x", "label": "Adoption", "trend": "up" } },\n  "center+right": { "chart": { "type": "line", "data": { "columns": ["Month", "Teams"], "rows": [["Jan", 12], ["Feb", 18]] } } }\n}\n```\n\n```json\n{\n  "id": "risks",\n  "title": "What Could Go Wrong",\n  "composition": { "mode": "column" },\n  "blocks": [\n    { "items": [["Two regions at ", { "text": "85% utilization", "color": "var:risk", "bold": true }]] },\n    { "quote": { "text": "Exceptions became visible before they became escalations.", "attribution": "VP Operations" } }\n  ],\n  "extensions": { "authoring": { "locked": true } }\n}\n```\n'

-    "markdown": "# Browser preview and live editing\n\nPublished editor 0.16.0 provides an embeddable SVG canvas in `@openpresentation/opf-editor/canvas`. OPF JSON remains the document; the canvas writes validated JSON Patch operations through an `EditorSession`. Draft edits render with the same SVG engine used for standalone previews. Completed edits produce one undoable change.\n\nThe published canvas covers the interactions below; complete PowerPoint feature coverage remains separate work. \u201CPixel perfect\u201D is a fidelity target with specific prerequisites and remaining gaps described below.\n\n## Install the published packages\n\nUse Node 24 with core 0.16.0, renderer 0.16.0, editor 0.16.0 and PPTX 0.16.1:\n\n```sh\nnpm install --save-exact @openpresentation/opf@0.16.0 @openpresentation/opf-render@0.16.0 @openpresentation/opf-editor@0.16.0 @openpresentation/opf-pptx@0.16.1\n```\n\nNo paid service or provider account is required. The six agent skills install with `npx @openpresentation/cli@0.16.0 skills install`. See the [quickstart](quickstart.md) for an installed-package workflow and the [compatibility matrix](compatibility-matrix.md) for separately scoped browser and native evidence.\n\nFor library development, separately regenerate unpublished local preview tarballs from sibling checkouts:\n\n```sh\npnpm build\nnode scripts/link-ecosystem.mjs\npnpm pack:ecosystem\npnpm test:packed-ecosystem\n```\n\nThe packed consumer installs actual tarballs without workspace aliases, exercises editing/SVG/PPTX, checks TypeScript declarations, and bundles a browser entry without Node shims. For a public release, advance source versions and downstream minimums/lockfiles together and follow the release process.\n\nThe gallery host example also offers local PPTX file import with preview/diagnostics and editable PowerPoint download. It commits active canvas text before export, shares preview text measurements and applies imports as a single undoable change. Save OPF to preserve the original source; native PowerPoint positions, fonts and unsupported features can change during conversion. The browser E2E checks run offline after loading and inspect the downloaded native merged table, then reimport and undo/redo. Native edit/save/reopen is a separate targeted check, not a pixel-equivalence claim.\n\nThe editor exports in the browser (SVG through the renderer's browser entries, PPTX through opf-pptx). To export a saved presentation on a server, call `convert(\"deck.opf.json\", \"deck.pdf\")` (or `convert(presentation, { format: \"pdf\" | \"png\" | \"svg\" | \"pptx\" })` for the bytes) from `@openpresentation/opf/node`, which draws with the same engines and the bundled fonts; `open(\"deck.pptx\")` reads a PowerPoint file back into a presentation for the editor ([OPF files in Node](node.md)).\n\n`pnpm prepare:gallery:registry` builds host controls from the immutable `exampleRefs.opf-editor` in `release-plan.json` while resolving libraries only from the fresh npm consumer. Package `verificationRefs` continue to point at actual published releases. The gallery manifest records both the example source hashes and registry package integrities. Updating example controls does not imply a new editor library release.\n\nScript fonts: when the pinned editor example loads faces from `./script-fonts/` and the pinned renderer has the script pack (0.10.0 and later), the registry build also writes `script-fonts.json` and lists its hash in `manifest.json`. The manifest is the reviewable half: every `@expo-google-fonts/noto-*` package, exact version, SPDX license, license-file hash and each face's SHA-256, taken from the published renderer. The faces are binaries (63 files, 66.9 MiB), so they are never committed to the gallery repository. The gallery build copies them from its own pinned npm dependencies into the untracked `public/opf-editor/script-fonts/` directory, verifying every hash, and writes the license notices beside them; nothing is fetched from a font CDN. See `scripts/gallery-script-fonts.mjs` and the gallery's `scripts/prepare-editor-script-fonts.mjs`.\n\nBase fonts (FF-41): when the pinned editor example loads `base-fonts.json` (opf-editor 0.10.5: the example passes the faces as the renderer's `extraLazyFonts`, renderer 0.11.7 and later; 0.10.4's example used its own `examples/base-font-gate.js`), the registry build starts the editor with Roboto Regular alone in `fonts.json` (217 KB instead of 12.8 MB) and writes every other eager face (Roboto in six more styles, Roboto Mono, the Office substitutes) as a separate file named after its hash beside it, listed with its SHA-256 in `base-fonts.json` and in `manifest.json`; the editor fetches only the faces a document draws, verified, through its font gate (`scripts/gallery-base-fonts.mjs`). An older pinned example keeps every eager face in `fonts.json`. A default Roboto deck loads about 0.7 MB of fonts instead of 12.8 MB.\n\nLazy fonts: when the pinned editor example calls `ensureLazyFonts` and the pinned renderer vendors faces (Intos for the default Aptos scheme and the open families, renderer 0.11.0 and later), the registry build also writes `lazy-fonts.json` and lists its hash in `manifest.json`. It pins every vendored package (exact version, SPDX license, license-file and notice hashes) and each face SHA-256, taken from the published renderer. The faces are binaries, so they are not committed either: the gallery build copies them from its pinned `@openpresentation/opf-render` package (`fonts/<name>/`) into the untracked `public/opf-editor/fonts/` directory, verifying every hash, and the editor fetches only the families a document uses, same-origin. See `scripts/gallery-lazy-fonts.mjs` and the gallery's `scripts/prepare-editor-lazy-fonts.mjs`.\n\nThe browser bundle links `playground.js.LEGAL.txt`, included in the hashed resources. It contains bundled license notices and package license files, including the vendored PptxGenJS MIT license. For dependencies that publish only an explicit MIT declaration in their README, the build retains that declaration/attribution and the standard terms; omitted upstream notices use a version-specific source URL and verified supplement hash. License collection runs offline from the verified installation and committed supplement. Runtime JavaScript is not rewritten to normalize comment whitespace.\n\n## Embed in any browser application\n\nMount after the host DOM exists. The container controls width; the slide retains its aspect ratio. React and Svelte applications can mount this framework-independent API in their normal client lifecycle and destroy it on unmount.\n\n```js\nimport { createCanvasEditor } from '@openpresentation/opf-editor/canvas';\nimport { loadFonts } from '@openpresentation/opf-render/fonts-browser';\nimport { defaultCatalog } from '@openpresentation/opf/catalog';\n\n// Copy these licensed font files into your application's static assets first.\n// Use pinned, static faces; include every weight/style required by your deck.\nconst fonts = await loadFonts({ faces: [\n  { url: '/fonts/Roboto-Regular.ttf', family: 'Roboto', weight: 400 },\n  { url: '/fonts/Roboto-Bold.ttf', family: 'Roboto', weight: 700 },\n  { url: '/fonts/RobotoMono-Regular.ttf', family: 'Roboto Mono', weight: 400 },\n] });\n\nconst canvas = createCanvasEditor(document.querySelector('#slide'), {\n  presentation: {\n    design: { theme: 'classic', fontScheme: 'roboto' },\n    slides: [{ title: 'An editable presentation', text: 'Click to edit.' }],\n  },\n  catalogs: [defaultCatalog], // core ships no records: register the catalog the theme and font scheme above come from\n  fonts,\n  onCommit: ({ editor }) => {\n    const updatedOPF = editor.presentation; // Host owns saving and collaboration.\n    console.log(updatedOPF);\n  },\n  onError: error => console.error(error.message),\n});\nawait canvas.ready;\n\n// JSON or LLM patches also update the slide automatically.\ncanvas.editor.set('slides.0.title', 'Changes from another control');\ncanvas.editor.undo();\n\n// On unmount:\n// canvas.destroy();\n// fonts.dispose();\n```\n\n`loadFonts` accepts explicit font-file URLs or `Uint8Array` data (`faces`). It uses the same bytes for Fontkit measurement and browser `FontFace` registration, awaits loading, reports failures, and exposes `dispose()` for its owned font faces; the handle's `pending` and `ensure` load the script and vendored faces a document needs, and the canvas waits for them before it renders. Cross-origin font URLs need CORS access. Load fonts once and share the handle between canvases. The canvas does not fetch fonts or catalog sources itself.\n\nFor standalone SVG export, pass the handle as `{ fonts }` to `renderSlideSvg` (one slide) or `renderSvg` (every slide); the export carries the font bytes and supplied license metadata. In a running browser canvas the registered fonts are already available, so embedding those bytes into every draft is unnecessary.\n\n```js\nimport { renderSlideSvg } from '@openpresentation/opf-render/svg';\nconst svg = renderSlideSvg(canvas.editor.presentation, 0, { fonts });\n```\n\nThe explicit `/svg` entry is browser safe. Browser-aware bundlers also select it for the renderer's root import. The Node root entry additionally supplies `svgToPng` and `svgToPdf`; those functions are not browser APIs.\n\n## Editing behavior\n\n| Content or action | Current behavior |\n| --- | --- |\n| Titles, subtitles, plain text, simple numeric values | One click enters editing with the caret at the clicked character (editor 0.10.2); press-drag selects a range; while editing, double-click selects a word and triple-click a paragraph. Focus a target and press Enter, Space or F2 to edit with all text selected. See *Text entry gestures* below. |\n| Table headers and string/number cells | Inline editing; numeric cells keep their numeric type. |\n| Lists, charts, metrics, quotes, code, timelines, rich text payloads | Select the object and edit its existing scalar fields in a floating form; valid drafts render immediately. A timeline event's `status` (`done`, `current`, `planned`) is a menu, not free text. |\n| Images | Edit source/alt fields; replace with a local PNG/JPEG/GIF/WebP file up to 20 MB. External sources still require a host image resolver. |\n| Collections | Add or remove the last item, subject to OPF schema validation. Empty structured collections may need authoring through source. |\n| Dynamic layout | Text edits recompose the slide through shared geometry; row/column/grid controls remain in the demo inspector. |\n| Undo and cancellation | Blur or Ctrl/Cmd+Enter commits plain text; Escape cancels; property forms have Apply/Cancel. |\n| Changes elsewhere | Unrelated edits are preserved; a changed selected payload cancels the stale local draft instead of overwriting it. This is conflict protection, not a distributed collaboration protocol. |\n| JSON editing | The demo Source view previews valid JSON beside the source; Apply records the document replacement. Invalid drafts retain the last valid preview. |\n\n`createCanvasEditor` accepts an existing `editor` session or a `presentation`, plus `slideIndex`, `fonts` (the renderer's fonts handle), `renderOptions`, `textEntry` (`'click'` by default, or `'dblclick'`), an optional empty `propertiesContainer` to dock forms outside the slide, and callbacks `onSelect`, `onDraft`, `onCommit`, `onCancel`, `onRender`, and `onError`. The returned object exposes `editor`, `ready`, `select`, `beginEdit`, `editProperties`, `commit`, `cancel`, `setSlide`, `setRenderOptions`, `setLayoutEditing`, `render`, and `destroy`. `commit()` and setters return false if a draft cannot be committed. Avoid using public `render(presentation)` as a second source of truth; normal document changes should flow through the session.\n\n## Text entry gestures\n\nEditor 0.10.2 follows the PowerPoint and Google Slides convention. Hover outlines a text target. A single press (mouse, pen, or a touch tap) on editable text selects the box, starts inline editing and puts the caret at the nearest character boundary to the pointer, including in wrapped, multi-line, centered, right-aligned, right-to-left and CJK text. Press and drag selects the range from the press point to the release point and never moves the box. While editing, a native double-click selects a word, a triple-click a line or paragraph, and a click elsewhere moves the caret. Clicking a different text target commits the current edit (an invalid edit still refuses) and enters the new target in the same click. Rich text uses the same gestures through its own pointer mapping.\n\nKeyboard entry keeps the replace convention: focus a target and press Enter, Space or F2 to edit with **all** text selected; `canvas.beginEdit(path)` does the same. Escape leaves editing and keeps the box selected. Images, video, charts and other non-text targets are unchanged: a click selects and a double-click opens their properties. Layout handles and block controls keep their own pointer handling.\n\n`createCanvasEditor(container, { textEntry: 'dblclick' })` keeps the older two-step gesture (a click selects, a double-click enters), but the double-click now places the caret at the pointer instead of selecting everything. Tests and hosts that used `dblclick()` and then relied on all text being selected should enter with the keyboard (focus the target, press Enter) or select explicitly; on the default canvas `dblclick()` now places the caret and selects the word under it. Carets are resolved from the traced SVG glyphs (each rendered line carries its source range) and converted to offsets in the input value, so CRLF sources, tabs and wrapped whitespace map exactly; real operating-system IME and bidi caret behavior are not verified.\n\n## Fidelity contract and remaining work\n\nThe same document, renderer version, dimensions, font bytes, and measurement provider produce the same SVG geometry in read and edit modes. Inline editing retains the actual SVG glyphs beneath a transparent native input; the input supplies the caret and selection. Browser regression checks compare draft text positions to standalone SVG rendering.\n\nThat is not a promise of identical raster pixels across browser engines, operating systems, or PowerPoint. Native caret/selection wrapping can differ from shaped SVG text, especially for mixed scripts, rich text, or unusual font features. Browser anti-aliasing and native PowerPoint typography also differ. Without a measurement provider the renderer uses deterministic estimates, which are not sufficient for a high-fidelity claim.\n\nStill needed for the requested complete editor:\n\n1. Continuous mixed-style typing and calibrated caret positioning, bidi/IME/vertical-script coverage. Rich text selection, formatting, links, and selected-text replacement are available through the [SVG formatting toolbar and range API](rich-text.md).\n2. More placement constraints and specialized interactions for fixed promoted regions and individual object geometry. **Add content** and **Arrange** already support the insertion, duplication and deletion described below, track resizing, sibling block dragging, and moving complete blocks between existing groups or slides.\n3. Full visual implementations for specialized charts, media playback, image crops/effects, theme chrome, and every catalog preset. Generic property editing does not imply complete renderer support.\n4. Approved screenshot baselines across representative fonts/layouts/browsers, vertical metric tests, and native PPTX comparison/embedding work.\n5. Broader font-family/script coverage and independently loadable font packs; the current base and Office substitute packs do not cover every requested font. Published packages, documentation examples and installed-package browser CI already exist.\n\nGoogle Fonts supports browser loading through its CSS API, and its repository permits self-hosting subject to each font's license. The OPF fidelity path uses pinned files for reproducibility instead of depending on whichever variant a hosted stylesheet returns. Keep the font's accompanying license. Sources: [Google Fonts CSS API](https://developers.google.com/fonts/docs/css2), [Google Fonts files and licenses](https://github.com/google/fonts/blob/main/README.md).\n\nThe [font roadmap](plans/font-roadmap.md) covers the starter Office substitutes and remaining families.\n\n## Verification\n\n`pnpm demo:editor` builds the playground and `/canvas-tests.html`. The browser harness exercises real font registration, live drafts, text-position parity, one-step undo, cancellation, external edit conflicts, number validation, table cells, structured payloads, collection changes, and cleanup. Node tests cover escaped field paths, typed values, immutable drafts, font loader failures and aborts. The renderer's 126-deck corpus and the coordinated CI's pinned furniture PNG baseline are separate checks. Current installed-package and browser results are recorded in the [compatibility matrix](compatibility-matrix.md); neither those checks nor historical rasters establish general native Office parity.\n\n## Copy, paste, files, and galleries\n\nThe demo's **Copy OPF** dialog exports the whole presentation, the current slide with its design/catalogs/assets, or the selected JSON value. Choose readable JSON, compact JSON, or a Markdown code block for an LLM. The slide toolbar and selection inspector offer direct shortcuts. If clipboard permission is unavailable, **Select all** provides a manual copy fallback.\n\n**Add OPF** accepts a document, one slide, a slide array, a JSON value, or a single fenced JSON/OPF block. Paste into its text box, choose a `.opf`/`.json` file, drop a file on the editor, or load a public JSON URL. Preview first, then insert after the current slide, open a presentation, or replace selected content. Imports are validated and create one undo step. Normal copy/paste inside text fields remains native. Outside text fields, Cmd/Ctrl+V opens import review; Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+C opens Copy OPF; Cmd/Ctrl+O opens file import.\n\n**Browse galleries** includes 854 examples generated from the sibling PPTX.gallery checkout and a separate live PPTX.gallery registry. Search by name, category, or description. Select an entry to preview, copy its OPF, or insert it. **Manage galleries** adds/removes custom registry URLs; custom sources persist in this browser's local storage. Host defaults are defined in `opf-editor/examples/galleries.json`. The bundled snapshot is regenerated by `pnpm demo:editor`; it does not update in the background. Some presets are minimal definition examples rather than completed presentation slides.\n\nPublic PPTX.gallery detail links for layouts, colors, typography, themes, charts, backgrounds, narratives, blocks, and image treatments can be entered in the URL tab. Other sites should expose a direct OPF document or a registry JSON endpoint. Cross-origin servers must enable CORS. Requests omit credentials and referrers, are cancelable, and cap responses at 20 MB. A registry item's URL must stay on the configured origin; explicitly load another origin's URL when intended. The editor does not scrape arbitrary HTML pages or automatically load external fonts/catalog sources.\n\nA custom registry can mix inline OPF and relative document URLs:\n\n```json\n{\n  \"name\": \"Team slides\",\n  \"items\": [\n    { \"id\": \"intro\", \"name\": \"Introduction\", \"category\": \"Team\", \"opf\": { \"slides\": [{ \"title\": \"Hello\" }] } },\n    { \"id\": \"metrics\", \"name\": \"Metrics\", \"opfUrl\": \"./metrics.opf.json\" }\n  ]\n}\n```\n\nImported documents should embed the catalog records and assets they use. Inserting slides copies their records with core `copySlides`: groups match by `source`, an identical record is reused, a differing `custom` record is renamed `<id>-2` and a differing catalog revision moves into `custom` as `<id>-2`, so the inserted slides look the same and the existing slides stay intact. It does not merge presentation-level speakers, organizations, or narrative metadata into the current deck. Open as a presentation to retain the complete source document.\n\nThe reusable npm APIs are browser-safe and independent of the demo UI:\n\n```js\nimport { parseOpfTransfer, serializeOpfTransfer, prepareOpfImport } from '@openpresentation/opf-editor/transfer';\nimport { loadOpfGallery, loadOpfGalleryItem } from '@openpresentation/opf-editor/galleries';\n\nconst markdown = serializeOpfTransfer(editor.presentation, {\n  scope: 'slide', slideIndex: 0, format: 'markdown',\n});\nconst parsed = parseOpfTransfer(markdown);\nconst result = prepareOpfImport(editor.presentation, parsed, {\n  mode: 'insert', slideIndex: 0,\n});\n// Host previews result.presentation before applying this single undoable change.\neditor.applyPatch([{ op: 'replace', path: '', value: result.presentation }], {\n  source: 'import', rejectInvalid: true,\n});\n\nconst gallery = await loadOpfGallery('https://example.com/registry.json');\nconst presentation = await loadOpfGalleryItem(gallery.items[0], { gallery: gallery.url });\n```\n\nBoth gallery functions accept an `AbortSignal` and an injected `fetch` for host integrations and tests. Import/copy tests cover format round trips, invalid inputs, conflicting IDs and references, source isolation, and one-step undo; the generated 854-example snapshot is checked through insertion and SVG rendering.\n\n## All OPF properties\n\n**All properties** opens the schema-driven workspace beside a live SVG preview. Use Presentation, Current slide, Selection, or Design to navigate; add optional fields, select structured value forms, edit arrays/maps, and Apply a validated change with one undo step. Click content in the preview to locate its field. Nonvisual metadata remains part of the OPF document. A dirty draft must be applied or discarded before closing.\n\nThe `/schema` and `/schema-inspector` npm exports provide the reusable model and DOM inspector. `createSchemaInspector(container, {editor, path, onDraft})` exposes `navigate`, `commit`, `reset`, `destroy`, and read-only `presentation`/`dirty` getters. Use `onDraft` to render valid previews. The companion gallery `/spec` reference indexes the same 604 property definitions, and `/editor` embeds the shared browser build.\n\nSee [spec coverage](plans/spec-editor-coverage.md) for the distinction between complete field discovery and the remaining WYSIWYG rendering work.\n\n## Create, duplicate and delete content\n\nUse **Add content** in the editor toolbar, or the canvas button in Arrange mode. Choose a content kind, destination and insertion position. Starter content covers text, lists, charts, tables, metrics, quotes, code, timelines and groups. Image insertion accepts a local PNG/JPEG/WebP file or a source; local files are embedded as data URLs. Video insertion stores a source, but playback and native video export remain separate work. Source URLs and asset references still need the host's supported asset-resolution behavior.\n\nArrange handles also offer **Duplicate**, **Delete**, **Add after** and, for groups, **Add inside**. Duplication copies the complete content subtree while retaining asset references. Deletion prunes empty ancestor groups or their named region, preserving the slide and its metadata. Removing the last root block leaves a valid empty slide. Every operation preflights the complete candidate with the shared renderer and commits one undo step; stale forms are dismissed and strict overflow fails before mutation.\n\nAdding to implicit root content or a named-region leaf converts existing payloads into explicit blocks in the renderer's canonical field order. Headings, notes, design, metadata and neighboring regions stay intact. Named regions are kept in their existing positions; choose one as the destination. Existing composition weights remain attached to positions, so insertion/deletion can change which content occupies a weighted slot.\n\n```js\nimport {\n  prepareBlockInsert, prepareBlockDuplicate, prepareBlockRemove, createContentBlock,\n  listBlockContainers,\n} from '@openpresentation/opf-editor/layout';\nconst containers = listBlockContainers(editor.presentation, {includeImplicit: true});\nconst prepared = prepareBlockInsert(editor.presentation, containers[0].path,\n  createContentBlock('table')); // omit index to append\n// Render prepared.presentation with your intended fonts before applying.\neditor.applyPatch(prepared.patches, {rejectInvalid: true});\n// Duplicate/remove take complete paths such as /slides/0/blocks/1.\n// canvas.openInsertMenu(containerPath?, index?) opens the browser palette.\n```\n\nThe headless helpers return `{presentation, patches, path, changed}` and include expected-value guards. Preserve those guards when applying patches. They need no browser, AI provider, account or hosted service. These helpers are published in editor 0.8.0; use the coordinated versions above and check installed exports when working with older packages. `/create-tests.html` and its installed-package equivalent exercise creation, image bytes, regions, duplication, deletion, strict-fit rejection, keyboard focus and undo.\n"
+    "markdown": "# Browser preview and live editing\n\nPublished editor 0.17.0 provides an embeddable SVG canvas in `@openpresentation/opf-editor/canvas`. OPF JSON remains the document; the canvas writes validated JSON Patch operations through an `EditorSession`. Draft edits render with the same SVG engine used for standalone previews. Completed edits produce one undoable change.\n\nThe published canvas covers the interactions below; complete PowerPoint feature coverage remains separate work. \u201CPixel perfect\u201D is a fidelity target with specific prerequisites and remaining gaps described below.\n\n## Install the published packages\n\nUse Node 24 with core 0.17.0, renderer 0.17.1, editor 0.17.0 and PPTX 0.17.0:\n\n```sh\nnpm install --save-exact @openpresentation/opf@0.17.0 @openpresentation/opf-render@0.17.1 @openpresentation/opf-editor@0.17.0 @openpresentation/opf-pptx@0.17.0\n```\n\nNo paid service or provider account is required. The six agent skills install with `npx @openpresentation/cli@0.17.1 skills install`. See the [quickstart](quickstart.md) for an installed-package workflow and the [compatibility matrix](compatibility-matrix.md) for separately scoped browser and native evidence.\n\nFor library development, separately regenerate unpublished local preview tarballs from sibling checkouts:\n\n```sh\npnpm build\nnode scripts/link-ecosystem.mjs\npnpm pack:ecosystem\npnpm test:packed-ecosystem\n```\n\nThe packed consumer installs actual tarballs without workspace aliases, exercises editing/SVG/PPTX, checks TypeScript declarations, and bundles a browser entry without Node shims. For a public release, advance source versions and downstream minimums/lockfiles together and follow the release process.\n\nThe gallery host example also offers local PPTX file import with preview/diagnostics and editable PowerPoint download. It commits active canvas text before export, shares preview text measurements and applies imports as a single undoable change. Save OPF to preserve the original source; native PowerPoint positions, fonts and unsupported features can change during conversion. The browser E2E checks run offline after loading and inspect the downloaded native merged table, then reimport and undo/redo. Native edit/save/reopen is a separate targeted check, not a pixel-equivalence claim.\n\nThe editor exports in the browser (SVG through the renderer's browser entries, PPTX through opf-pptx). To export a saved presentation on a server, call `convert(\"deck.opf.json\", \"deck.pdf\")` (or `convert(presentation, { format: \"pdf\" | \"png\" | \"svg\" | \"pptx\" })` for the bytes) from `@openpresentation/opf` in Node, which draws with the same engines and the bundled fonts; `open(\"deck.pptx\")` reads a PowerPoint file back into a presentation for the editor ([OPF files in Node](node.md)).\n\n`pnpm prepare:gallery:registry` builds host controls from the immutable `exampleRefs.opf-editor` in `release-plan.json` while resolving libraries only from the fresh npm consumer. Package `verificationRefs` continue to point at actual published releases. The gallery manifest records both the example source hashes and registry package integrities. Updating example controls does not imply a new editor library release.\n\nScript fonts: when the pinned editor example loads faces from `./script-fonts/` and the pinned renderer has the script pack (0.10.0 and later), the registry build also writes `script-fonts.json` and lists its hash in `manifest.json`. The manifest is the reviewable half: every `@expo-google-fonts/noto-*` package, exact version, SPDX license, license-file hash and each face's SHA-256, taken from the published renderer. The faces are binaries (63 files, 66.9 MiB), so they are never committed to the gallery repository. The gallery build copies them from its own pinned npm dependencies into the untracked `public/opf-editor/script-fonts/` directory, verifying every hash, and writes the license notices beside them; nothing is fetched from a font CDN. See `scripts/gallery-script-fonts.mjs` and the gallery's `scripts/prepare-editor-script-fonts.mjs`.\n\nBase fonts (FF-41): when the pinned editor example loads `base-fonts.json` (opf-editor 0.10.5: the example passes the faces as the renderer's `extraLazyFonts`, renderer 0.11.7 and later; 0.10.4's example used its own `examples/base-font-gate.js`), the registry build starts the editor with Roboto Regular alone in `fonts.json` (217 KB instead of 12.8 MB) and writes every other eager face (Roboto in six more styles, Roboto Mono, the Office substitutes) as a separate file named after its hash beside it, listed with its SHA-256 in `base-fonts.json` and in `manifest.json`; the editor fetches only the faces a document draws, verified, through its font gate (`scripts/gallery-base-fonts.mjs`). An older pinned example keeps every eager face in `fonts.json`. A default Roboto deck loads about 0.7 MB of fonts instead of 12.8 MB.\n\nLazy fonts: when the pinned editor example calls `ensureLazyFonts` and the pinned renderer vendors faces (Intos for the default Aptos scheme and the open families, renderer 0.11.0 and later), the registry build also writes `lazy-fonts.json` and lists its hash in `manifest.json`. It pins every vendored package (exact version, SPDX license, license-file and notice hashes) and each face SHA-256, taken from the published renderer. The faces are binaries, so they are not committed either: the gallery build copies them from its pinned `@openpresentation/opf-render` package (`fonts/<name>/`) into the untracked `public/opf-editor/fonts/` directory, verifying every hash, and the editor fetches only the families a document uses, same-origin. See `scripts/gallery-lazy-fonts.mjs` and the gallery's `scripts/prepare-editor-lazy-fonts.mjs`.\n\nThe browser bundle links `playground.js.LEGAL.txt`, included in the hashed resources. It contains bundled license notices and package license files, including the vendored PptxGenJS MIT license. For dependencies that publish only an explicit MIT declaration in their README, the build retains that declaration/attribution and the standard terms; omitted upstream notices use a version-specific source URL and verified supplement hash. License collection runs offline from the verified installation and committed supplement. Runtime JavaScript is not rewritten to normalize comment whitespace.\n\n## Embed in any browser application\n\nMount after the host DOM exists. The container controls width; the slide retains its aspect ratio. React and Svelte applications can mount this framework-independent API in their normal client lifecycle and destroy it on unmount.\n\n```js\nimport { createCanvasEditor } from '@openpresentation/opf-editor/canvas';\nimport { loadFonts } from '@openpresentation/opf-render/fonts-browser';\nimport { defaultCatalog } from '@openpresentation/opf/catalog';\n\n// Copy these licensed font files into your application's static assets first.\n// Use pinned, static faces; include every weight/style required by your deck.\nconst fonts = await loadFonts({ faces: [\n  { url: '/fonts/Roboto-Regular.ttf', family: 'Roboto', weight: 400 },\n  { url: '/fonts/Roboto-Bold.ttf', family: 'Roboto', weight: 700 },\n  { url: '/fonts/RobotoMono-Regular.ttf', family: 'Roboto Mono', weight: 400 },\n] });\n\nconst canvas = createCanvasEditor(document.querySelector('#slide'), {\n  presentation: {\n    design: { theme: 'classic', fontScheme: 'roboto' },\n    slides: [{ title: 'An editable presentation', text: 'Click to edit.' }],\n  },\n  catalogs: [defaultCatalog], // core ships no records: register the catalog the theme and font scheme above come from\n  fonts,\n  onCommit: ({ editor }) => {\n    const updatedOPF = editor.presentation; // Host owns saving and collaboration.\n    console.log(updatedOPF);\n  },\n  onError: error => console.error(error.message),\n});\nawait canvas.ready;\n\n// JSON or LLM patches also update the slide automatically.\ncanvas.editor.set('slides.0.title', 'Changes from another control');\ncanvas.editor.undo();\n\n// On unmount:\n// canvas.destroy();\n// fonts.dispose();\n```\n\n`loadFonts` accepts explicit font-file URLs or `Uint8Array` data (`faces`). It uses the same bytes for Fontkit measurement and browser `FontFace` registration, awaits loading, reports failures, and exposes `dispose()` for its owned font faces; the handle's `pending` and `ensure` load the script and vendored faces a document needs, and the canvas waits for them before it renders. Cross-origin font URLs need CORS access. Load fonts once and share the handle between canvases. The canvas does not fetch fonts or catalog sources itself.\n\nFor standalone SVG export, pass the handle as `{ fonts }` to `toSvg` (`toSvg(deck, n, ...)` is slide n, `toSvg(deck, ...)` every slide); the export carries the font bytes and supplied license metadata. In a running browser canvas the registered fonts are already available, so embedding those bytes into every draft is unnecessary.\n\n```js\nimport { toSvg } from '@openpresentation/opf-render/svg';\nconst svg = toSvg(canvas.editor.presentation, 1, { fonts }); // slide 1: slides count from 1\n```\n\nThe explicit `/svg` entry is browser safe. Browser-aware bundlers also select it for the renderer's root import. The Node root entry additionally supplies `toPng` and `toPdf`; those functions are not browser APIs.\n\n## Editing behavior\n\n| Content or action | Current behavior |\n| --- | --- |\n| Titles, subtitles, plain text, simple numeric values | One click enters editing with the caret at the clicked character (editor 0.10.2); press-drag selects a range; while editing, double-click selects a word and triple-click a paragraph. Focus a target and press Enter, Space or F2 to edit with all text selected. See *Text entry gestures* below. |\n| Table headers and string/number cells | Inline editing; numeric cells keep their numeric type. |\n| Lists, charts, metrics, quotes, code, timelines, rich text payloads | Select the object and edit its existing scalar fields in a floating form; valid drafts render immediately. A timeline event's `status` (`done`, `current`, `planned`) is a menu, not free text. |\n| Images | Edit source/alt fields; replace with a local PNG/JPEG/GIF/WebP file up to 20 MB. External sources still require a host image resolver. |\n| Collections | Add or remove the last item, subject to OPF schema validation. Empty structured collections may need authoring through source. |\n| Dynamic layout | Text edits recompose the slide through shared geometry; row/column/grid controls remain in the demo inspector. |\n| Undo and cancellation | Blur or Ctrl/Cmd+Enter commits plain text; Escape cancels; property forms have Apply/Cancel. |\n| Changes elsewhere | Unrelated edits are preserved; a changed selected payload cancels the stale local draft instead of overwriting it. This is conflict protection, not a distributed collaboration protocol. |\n| JSON editing | The demo Source view previews valid JSON beside the source; Apply records the document replacement. Invalid drafts retain the last valid preview. |\n\n`createCanvasEditor` accepts an existing `editor` session or a `presentation`, plus `slideIndex`, `fonts` (the renderer's fonts handle), `renderOptions`, `textEntry` (`'click'` by default, or `'dblclick'`), an optional empty `propertiesContainer` to dock forms outside the slide, and callbacks `onSelect`, `onDraft`, `onCommit`, `onCancel`, `onRender`, and `onError`. The returned object exposes `editor`, `ready`, `select`, `beginEdit`, `editProperties`, `commit`, `cancel`, `setSlide`, `setRenderOptions`, `setLayoutEditing`, `render`, and `destroy`. `commit()` and setters return false if a draft cannot be committed. Avoid using public `render(presentation)` as a second source of truth; normal document changes should flow through the session.\n\n## Text entry gestures\n\nEditor 0.10.2 follows the PowerPoint and Google Slides convention. Hover outlines a text target. A single press (mouse, pen, or a touch tap) on editable text selects the box, starts inline editing and puts the caret at the nearest character boundary to the pointer, including in wrapped, multi-line, centered, right-aligned, right-to-left and CJK text. Press and drag selects the range from the press point to the release point and never moves the box. While editing, a native double-click selects a word, a triple-click a line or paragraph, and a click elsewhere moves the caret. Clicking a different text target commits the current edit (an invalid edit still refuses) and enters the new target in the same click. Rich text uses the same gestures through its own pointer mapping.\n\nKeyboard entry keeps the replace convention: focus a target and press Enter, Space or F2 to edit with **all** text selected; `canvas.beginEdit(path)` does the same. Escape leaves editing and keeps the box selected. Images, video, charts and other non-text targets are unchanged: a click selects and a double-click opens their properties. Layout handles and block controls keep their own pointer handling.\n\n`createCanvasEditor(container, { textEntry: 'dblclick' })` keeps the older two-step gesture (a click selects, a double-click enters), but the double-click now places the caret at the pointer instead of selecting everything. Tests and hosts that used `dblclick()` and then relied on all text being selected should enter with the keyboard (focus the target, press Enter) or select explicitly; on the default canvas `dblclick()` now places the caret and selects the word under it. Carets are resolved from the traced SVG glyphs (each rendered line carries its source range) and converted to offsets in the input value, so CRLF sources, tabs and wrapped whitespace map exactly; real operating-system IME and bidi caret behavior are not verified.\n\n## Fidelity contract and remaining work\n\nThe same document, renderer version, dimensions, font bytes, and measurement provider produce the same SVG geometry in read and edit modes. Inline editing retains the actual SVG glyphs beneath a transparent native input; the input supplies the caret and selection. Browser regression checks compare draft text positions to standalone SVG rendering.\n\nThat is not a promise of identical raster pixels across browser engines, operating systems, or PowerPoint. Native caret/selection wrapping can differ from shaped SVG text, especially for mixed scripts, rich text, or unusual font features. Browser anti-aliasing and native PowerPoint typography also differ. Without a measurement provider the renderer uses deterministic estimates, which are not sufficient for a high-fidelity claim.\n\nStill needed for the requested complete editor:\n\n1. Continuous mixed-style typing and calibrated caret positioning, bidi/IME/vertical-script coverage. Rich text selection, formatting, links, and selected-text replacement are available through the [SVG formatting toolbar and range API](rich-text.md).\n2. More placement constraints and specialized interactions for fixed promoted regions and individual object geometry. **Add content** and **Arrange** already support the insertion, duplication and deletion described below, track resizing, sibling block dragging, and moving complete blocks between existing groups or slides.\n3. Full visual implementations for specialized charts, media playback, image crops/effects, theme chrome, and every catalog preset. Generic property editing does not imply complete renderer support.\n4. Approved screenshot baselines across representative fonts/layouts/browsers, vertical metric tests, and native PPTX comparison/embedding work.\n5. Broader font-family/script coverage and independently loadable font packs; the current base and Office substitute packs do not cover every requested font. Published packages, documentation examples and installed-package browser CI already exist.\n\nGoogle Fonts supports browser loading through its CSS API, and its repository permits self-hosting subject to each font's license. The OPF fidelity path uses pinned files for reproducibility instead of depending on whichever variant a hosted stylesheet returns. Keep the font's accompanying license. Sources: [Google Fonts CSS API](https://developers.google.com/fonts/docs/css2), [Google Fonts files and licenses](https://github.com/google/fonts/blob/main/README.md).\n\nThe [font roadmap](plans/font-roadmap.md) covers the starter Office substitutes and remaining families.\n\n## Verification\n\n`pnpm demo:editor` builds the playground and `/canvas-tests.html`. The browser harness exercises real font registration, live drafts, text-position parity, one-step undo, cancellation, external edit conflicts, number validation, table cells, structured payloads, collection changes, and cleanup. Node tests cover escaped field paths, typed values, immutable drafts, font loader failures and aborts. The renderer's 126-deck corpus and the coordinated CI's pinned furniture PNG baseline are separate checks. Current installed-package and browser results are recorded in the [compatibility matrix](compatibility-matrix.md); neither those checks nor historical rasters establish general native Office parity.\n\n## Copy, paste, files, and galleries\n\nThe demo's **Copy OPF** dialog exports the whole presentation, the current slide with its design/catalogs/assets, or the selected JSON value. Choose readable JSON, compact JSON, or a Markdown code block for an LLM. The slide toolbar and selection inspector offer direct shortcuts. If clipboard permission is unavailable, **Select all** provides a manual copy fallback.\n\n**Add OPF** accepts a document, one slide, a slide array, a JSON value, or a single fenced JSON/OPF block. Paste into its text box, choose a `.opf`/`.json` file, drop a file on the editor, or load a public JSON URL. Preview first, then insert after the current slide, open a presentation, or replace selected content. Imports are validated and create one undo step. Normal copy/paste inside text fields remains native. Outside text fields, Cmd/Ctrl+V opens import review; Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+C opens Copy OPF; Cmd/Ctrl+O opens file import.\n\n**Browse galleries** includes 854 examples generated from the sibling PPTX.gallery checkout and a separate live PPTX.gallery registry. Search by name, category, or description. Select an entry to preview, copy its OPF, or insert it. **Manage galleries** adds/removes custom registry URLs; custom sources persist in this browser's local storage. Host defaults are defined in `opf-editor/examples/galleries.json`. The bundled snapshot is regenerated by `pnpm demo:editor`; it does not update in the background. Some presets are minimal definition examples rather than completed presentation slides.\n\nPublic PPTX.gallery detail links for layouts, colors, typography, themes, charts, backgrounds, narratives, blocks, and image treatments can be entered in the URL tab. Other sites should expose a direct OPF document or a registry JSON endpoint. Cross-origin servers must enable CORS. Requests omit credentials and referrers, are cancelable, and cap responses at 20 MB. A registry item's URL must stay on the configured origin; explicitly load another origin's URL when intended. The editor does not scrape arbitrary HTML pages or automatically load external fonts/catalog sources.\n\nA custom registry can mix inline OPF and relative document URLs:\n\n```json\n{\n  \"name\": \"Team slides\",\n  \"items\": [\n    { \"id\": \"intro\", \"name\": \"Introduction\", \"category\": \"Team\", \"opf\": { \"slides\": [{ \"title\": \"Hello\" }] } },\n    { \"id\": \"metrics\", \"name\": \"Metrics\", \"opfUrl\": \"./metrics.opf.json\" }\n  ]\n}\n```\n\nImported documents should embed the catalog records and assets they use. Inserting slides copies their records with core `copySlides`: groups match by `source`, an identical record is reused, a differing `custom` record is renamed `<id>-2` and a differing catalog revision moves into `custom` as `<id>-2`, so the inserted slides look the same and the existing slides stay intact. It does not merge presentation-level speakers, organizations, or narrative metadata into the current deck. Open as a presentation to retain the complete source document.\n\nThe reusable npm APIs are browser-safe and independent of the demo UI:\n\n```js\nimport { parseOpfTransfer, serializeOpfTransfer, prepareOpfImport } from '@openpresentation/opf-editor/transfer';\nimport { loadOpfGallery, loadOpfGalleryItem } from '@openpresentation/opf-editor/galleries';\n\nconst markdown = serializeOpfTransfer(editor.presentation, {\n  scope: 'slide', slideIndex: 0, format: 'markdown',\n});\nconst parsed = parseOpfTransfer(markdown);\nconst result = prepareOpfImport(editor.presentation, parsed, {\n  mode: 'insert', slideIndex: 0,\n});\n// Host previews result.presentation before applying this single undoable change.\neditor.applyPatch([{ op: 'replace', path: '', value: result.presentation }], {\n  source: 'import', rejectInvalid: true,\n});\n\nconst gallery = await loadOpfGallery('https://example.com/registry.json');\nconst presentation = await loadOpfGalleryItem(gallery.items[0], { gallery: gallery.url });\n```\n\nBoth gallery functions accept an `AbortSignal` and an injected `fetch` for host integrations and tests. Import/copy tests cover format round trips, invalid inputs, conflicting IDs and references, source isolation, and one-step undo; the generated 854-example snapshot is checked through insertion and SVG rendering.\n\n## All OPF properties\n\n**All properties** opens the schema-driven workspace beside a live SVG preview.

The companion gallery `/spec` reference indexes the same 604 property definitions, and `/editor` embeds the shared browser build.\n\nSee [spec coverage](plans/spec-editor-coverage.md) for the distinction between complete field discovery and the remaining WYSIWYG rendering work.\n\n## Create, duplicate and delete content\n\nUse **Add content** in the editor toolbar, or the canvas button in Arrange mode. Choose a content kind, destination and insertion position. Starter content covers text, lists, charts, tables, metrics, quotes, code, timelines and groups. Image insertion accepts a local PNG/JPEG/WebP file or a source; local files are embedded as data URLs. Video insertion stores a source, but playback and native video export remain separate work.

+    "markdown": '# Authoring OPF with an LLM\n\nWrite a complete JSON document with `name` and `slides`. Put visible words in slide fields, not presentation metadata. Use `*.opf.json` filenames and stable, unique slide `id` values when a deck will be revised repeatedly.\n\n```json\n{\n  "name": "Launch decision",\n  "slides": [{\n    "id": "recommendation",\n    "title": "Launch to the pilot group first",\n    "composition": { "mode": "row", "weights": [2, 1] },\n    "blocks": [\n      { "items": ["Validate onboarding", "Measure activation", "Fix the largest drop-off"] },\n      { "metric": { "value": 200, "label": "Pilot customers" } }\n    ],\n    "notes": "Confirm the rollout owner and checkpoint date."\n  }]\n}\n```\n\nChoose one content structure per slide:\n\n- Root payloads for a simple slide: `text`, `items`, `image`, `chart`, `table`, `code`, `metric`, `quote`, or `timeline`. Mark a roadmap\'s progress with `status` on the timeline events (`done`, `current`, `planned`); the engines draw it, so do not add color or schedule-health words to fake it.\n- `blocks` for a sequence that should reflow. Set `composition` only when an arrangement matters. Omit it to let the engine choose.\n- Promoted regions such as `left`, `center+right`, `top`, and `bottom` for spatially meaningful content. Regions must not overlap. Do not mix regions with root payloads or blocks.\n\nReference records by id from the default catalog (`@openpresentation/opf/catalog`) or a catalog the host registers (`name:id` for a named group), and put the deck\'s own records in `catalogs.custom`. Embed what a deck uses before saving it (`embed`, `opf embed`), so it renders the same with no catalog registered.

Logos go on the organization (`"logo": "./assets/acme-logo.svg"`, or `{ "full", "stacked", "icon", "wordmark" }` with `{ "onLight", "onDark" }` files) and are placed with `var:organization.logo.icon` (or `.wordmark`, `.stacked`, the bare full logo, `var:organization.<id>.logo` for a partner); covers draw the full logo by themselves. `{{speakers}}` joins every speaker name, and `speaker.<id>.<field>` / `organization.<id>.<field>` address one entry by id.

     "title": "Markdown and outlines",
-    "markdown": '# Markdown and outlines\n\n`@openpresentation/opf/markdown` (RR-30) converts between OPF and a small, documented Markdown dialect, in both directions, with no renderer, fonts, network or model: the same input always gives the same output. The CLI exposes it as `opf from-md` and `opf to-md`, and every command that reads or writes a deck understands a file ending `.opf.md` ([Markdown decks in every command](#markdown-decks-in-every-command)); `parse` and `stringify` read and write a deck in JSON, YAML or Markdown with one call, and `open`, `save` and `convert` of `@openpresentation/opf/node` do it for files.\n\n- **JSON stays canonical.** The schema, the interchange form and every package describe the JSON. A `.opf.md` file is an authoring serialization of the same data, as a `.opf.yaml` file is ([OPF as YAML](yaml.md)).\n- **Write a deck as text.** YAML front matter holds the deck, `---` separates slides, `#` is the title, `##` the subtitle, and lists, quotes, tables, images, code, charts, metrics, timelines and speaker notes have their own syntax.\n- **Read a deck as text.** `toMarkdown` writes any valid OPF document as that dialect. What the dialect has no syntax for (a design, nested groups, a styled table cell) is embedded as YAML in a fenced block, so nothing is lost; or it is left out and reported, on request.\n- **Round trip.** The Markdown the writer produces converts back to the same deck and to itself, byte for byte. Markdown written by hand converts to a deck whose canonical Markdown is the same text, apart from layout the dialect treats as equivalent (the examples in `examples/markdown/` are canonical).\n- **Errors have places.** Findings use the shared [Finding format](finding-schema-reference.md) and carry the source offset, length, line and column of the Markdown that caused them, including OPF validation errors mapped back to the Markdown that produced the field.\n\n```js\nimport { fromMarkdown, toMarkdown } from "@openpresentation/opf/markdown";\n\nconst { presentation, valid, findings } = fromMarkdown(markdown);\nconst { markdown: text, report } = toMarkdown(presentation);\n```\n\n```sh\nopf from-md deck.md deck.opf.json\nopf to-md deck.opf.json deck.md\nopf validate deck.opf.md\nopf render deck.opf.md --out slides\n```\n\n## An example\n\n````md\n---\nname: Q3 Business Review\nlanguage: en-US\n---\n\n<!-- slide: id=cover layout=title section=Overview -->\n# Q3 Business Review\n\n## Operations and growth\n\nNote: Two minutes on the agenda, then straight into the numbers.\n\n---\n\n# Revenue grew every quarter\n\n```chart column\nQuarter,Revenue\nQ1,12\nQ2,18\n```\n\n> We would rather spend a week on capacity than a month on an outage.\n> \u2014 Priya Raman, Head of Platform\n````\n\nconverts to\n\n```json\n{\n  "name": "Q3 Business Review",\n  "language": "en-US",\n  "slides": [\n    { "id": "cover", "layout": "title", "section": "Overview", "title": "Q3 Business Review", "subtitle": "Operations and growth", "notes": "Two minutes on the agenda, then straight into the numbers." },\n    {\n      "title": "Revenue grew every quarter",\n      "blocks": [\n        { "chart": { "type": "column", "data": { "columns": ["Quarter", "Revenue"], "rows": [["Q1", 12], ["Q2", 18]] } } },\n        { "quote": { "text": "We would rather spend a week on capacity than a month on an outage.", "attribution": "Priya Raman, Head of Platform" } }\n      ]\n    }\n  ]\n}\n```\n\n[`examples/markdown/quarterly-review.opf.md`](../examples/markdown/quarterly-review.opf.md) uses every block kind. [`examples/markdown/outline.md`](../examples/markdown/outline.md) is a plain outline read with `split: "headings"`.\n\n## The dialect\n\n### Document\n\n| Part | Syntax | OPF |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Deck | YAML between a first line `---` and a closing `---` (or `...`) | Every deck property except `slides`: `name`, `description`, `language`, `design`, `variables`, `assets`, `extensions`, ... in the order written. JSON-compatible YAML only: no anchors, tags or duplicate keys. `slides` is not allowed |\n| Slides | Lines of three or more hyphens, outside fences, HTML comments and speaker notes\' fences | One slide per segment. Empty segments are skipped (a warning when between two slides); `<!-- slide -->` keeps an empty slide |\n| Outline | `split: "headings"` (`--split headings`) | A `# ` heading also starts a slide, even inside speaker notes, so a bare outline needs no `---` |\n\nA deck without front matter starts with its first slide, so a file never begins with `---` unless it opens the front matter. Line endings may be LF, CRLF or CR and a leading BOM is ignored. The converter adds nothing the Markdown does not say: no `$schema`, no `name` (pass `defaults: { name }` or `--title` for a fallback that the front matter overrides).\n\n### Slide\n\n| Part | Syntax | OPF |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Options | `<!-- slide: id=cover layout=title section="Part 1" tag=NEW hidden beat=a beat=b type=chart -->` | `id`, `layout`, `section`, `tag`, `hidden` (`hidden=false` too), `beat` (repeat for several), `type`. Values are bare words or JSON strings. At most one per slide, anywhere in it; written first |\n| Title | `# Title` | `title`: a string, or `TextRun[]` when the line has [inline formatting](#inline-text). One per slide; closing `#` characters are dropped |\n| Subtitle | `## Subtitle` | `subtitle`, a string or `TextRun[]` like the title. One per slide |\n| Deeper headings | `### Text` | A bold paragraph, with a `heading-demoted` warning |\n| Notes | `Note: ...` or `Notes: ...` at the start of a line | `notes`: plain text, every following line of the slide verbatim (blank lines, `#`, `-` and fences included), ending at the next `---` |\n| Content | The blocks below, top to bottom | One block with no `id`/`type`/`region`: a root field (`text`, `items`, `chart`, ...). Otherwise `blocks` |\n| Embedded | A fenced `opf-slide` block of YAML | Extra slide fields merged in (`composition`, `design`, `extensions`, ...). A field set both here and in Markdown is an error |\n\n### Blocks\n\nBlocks are separated by blank lines; a fence, heading, quote, table, image line or comment also ends a paragraph or list without one. A comment `<!-- block: ... -->` directly before a block gives it options:\n\n| Option | Meaning |\n| --- | --- |\n| `id=...`, `type=...` | The block\'s `id` and explicit `type`. Such a block is always an entry in `blocks` |\n| `as=bullets` | Store a list as `bullets` instead of `items` |\n| `as=video` | Store an image line as `video` |\n| `region=top:left` | Put the block in that promoted region of the slide (`left`, `center+right`, `top+middle`, `middle+bottom:left+center+right`, ...) instead of the content |\n\n| Markdown | OPF field | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| A paragraph | `text` | A soft line break is a space; a backslash at the end of a line is a hard break (`\\n`). Inline formatting becomes `TextRun[]`, otherwise a string |\n| `- item` (`*` and `+` too) | `items` | Nested by deeper indentation (two spaces when written) into `level`. An indented line `  : text` after an item is its `description`. A different marker character starts a new list (the writer alternates `-` and `*` for lists in a row). Numbered markers (`1.`) are read as bullets with a `numbered-list` warning: the dialect has no syntax for the `numbering` field of [numbered lists](numbered-lists.md), so numbers and styles are not kept (add `numbering` in an `opf-slide` or `opf-block` fence) |\n| `> text` and trailing dash lines | `quote` | `> \u2014 Name, Title` is the `attribution`, a second dash line the `source`. The rules (`\u2014`, `\u2013`, `--`, `~`, `-`; one short line; not a dashed list) are those of [content conversions](conversions.md), as is the code fence rule. A quote with a `role` or a `photo` has no Markdown form (a dash line holds a name and a title in one string, and a quote has no image syntax): it is written as an `opf-block`, which reads back exactly. Put `Name, Title` in the attribution line for a plain Markdown quote |\n| ```` ```lang title="file" ```` | `code` | `{ source, language, filename }`, or just the string when there is neither. Backtick or tilde fences, longer fences for code that contains fences |\n| `\\| a \\| b \\|` rows with a `\\| --- \\| --- \\|` row | `table` | The first row is `columns`; an all-empty first row means none. Cells are text with inline formatting, as in the [data import](data-import.md) (`007` and `2024` stay text); an empty cell is `null`. `\\|` is a pipe, `<br>` a line break. Alignment colons are ignored. Short and long rows warn. A table with an `alt` has no pipe-table syntax for it, so it is written as an `opf-block` and reads back exactly |\n| `![alt](src "title")` | `image` | `{ src, alt, title }`, or the string when there is only a source. `<src with spaces>` in angle brackets |\n| ```` ```metric ```` | `metric` | `key: value` lines: `value`, `label`, `description`, `unit`, `delta`, `trend`, `sentiment`. A plain decimal `value` or `delta` is a number; `"..."` is a JSON string; `unit: %` and `delta: +3 pts` are plain text |\n| ```` ```chart column ```` | `chart` | The word after `chart` is the chart `type`; an optional `alt="..."` after it is the chart\'s text alternative (`alt=""` marks it decorative; a quoted JSON string, as on the timeline fence). The body is CSV with a header row (the first column is the category labels and always text; in the other columns an unquoted decimal is a number, `true` and `false` are booleans, an empty field is `null` and a quoted field is text) or a JSON object holding `columns` and `rows` |\n| ```` ```timeline name="Roadmap" ```` | `timeline` | One event per line: `when \u2014 what` (spaced em dash), or the date forms of the conversions (`2026 Q1: Pilot`, `Jan - Kickoff`), or just `what`. A task-list prefix sets the event\'s `status`: `[x]` done, `[>]` current ("we are here"), `[ ]` planned. An indented line is the event\'s `description`. `name` and `description` go on the fence line |\n| ```` ```opf-block ```` | any block | A YAML `ContentPayload`: `id`, `type`, any content field, nested `blocks` groups |\n\n### Inline text\n\n| Syntax | Run |\n| --- | --- |\n| `**bold**`, `__bold__` | `bold` |\n| `*italic*`, `_italic_` | `italic` (`_` only at word edges: `snake_case` is text) |\n| `~~strike~~` | `strikethrough` |\n| `` `code` ``, ``` ``a ` b`` ``` | `code` (a backtick fence of any length; one space is trimmed from each side when both sides have one; the text is literal and other formatting wraps the span) |\n| `<u>`, `<sup>`, `<sub>` | `underline`, `superscript`, `subscript` |\n| `[text](url)`, `<https://...>` | `link` (a link title is ignored) |\n| `[text]{color=#B42318 size=24 font="Open Sans"}` | `color` (a hex colour, scheme slot or `var:name`), `fontSize`, `fontFamily`, `lang` (a BCP-47 tag); `bold italic underline strike sup sub` work inside the braces too |\n| `\\*` and any backslash before ASCII punctuation | The character itself |\n\nFlanking follows CommonMark, so `2*(3+4)*5` and `a * b` are text. A backtick that has no matching fence, or that is escaped with a backslash, is text. There is no raw HTML beyond the tags above and `<br>`, no entities (`&amp;` is literal) and no setext headings or indented code. The title, the subtitle and a quote\'s text keep inline formatting (a string when nothing is formatted, `TextRun[]` otherwise); a quote with formatted text and no attribution stays `{ text: [...] }`, because the string shorthand is for plain text. A quote\'s attribution and source are plain strings and drop formatting with a `formatting-dropped` warning; backticks in them stay literal characters. `cite` and `footnote` have no inline syntax: a heading or quote that carries one is written in an `opf-slide` fence. Image alt text, code, metric values and timeline lines are read as written, without inline formatting.\n\n## Writing OPF as Markdown\n\n`toMarkdown(presentation, { unsupported })` first validates the presentation (`OPFMarkdownError`, `code: "invalid-document"`, when it is not valid OPF). Every part is written in the dialect and **read back before it is kept**: a part whose text could not be read back as the same value (a table cell that is not text, a title that ends in ` #`, a title or quote run with `cite` or `footnote`, notes with a `---` line, formatting next to punctuation that CommonMark cannot open) takes the fallback instead of being written wrongly.\n\n| `unsupported` | Behaviour |\n| --- | --- |\n| `"embed"` (default) | The part is written as YAML: a block in an `opf-block` fence, slide fields (and any region that is not one plain block) in an `opf-slide` fence. The result converts back to the same deck |\n| `"drop"` | The part is left out and listed in `report.loss`. For Markdown to read, not to convert back |\n\nThe report is `{ lossless, native, embedded, loss }`: `native` is true when the whole document is plain dialect syntax, `embedded` lists the JSON Pointer and reason of each YAML part, `loss` is empty unless `unsupported` is `drop`. The 126 example decks need YAML for fewer than 5% of their slides (36 of 805): table cells that are numbers, booleans or styled, video assets with a `description`, nested groups, `href` runs.\n\nThe writer\'s canonical form: front matter, then slides joined by a blank line, `---` and a blank line; the options comment directly above what follows it; one blank line between blocks; two lists in a row alternate `-` and `*` so they stay two blocks. A round trip may collapse equivalent forms:\n\n- `blocks` with one plain block becomes the root field; a root with several content fields becomes `blocks` in key order.\n- Shorthand and object forms collapse to the shorter one: a metric with only `value`, a code object with only `source`, an image with only `src`, a quote with only `text`, a timeline array with no name, a list item with level 0 and no description.\n- Adjacent runs with the same formatting merge and `false` flags drop.\n\n## Findings\n\n`fromMarkdown(markdown, options)` never throws for malformed content. It returns the deck with the [validate](validate.md) report of it, `{ presentation, valid, findings, counts, schemaValid, checks }` (plus `template` and `unfilledVariables` for a deck with content variables), as `fromYaml` does; `presentation` is a best effort when `valid` is false and `schemaValid` is `null` when the check did not run (`validate: false`, or no slides). Each finding is a [Finding](finding-schema-reference.md) (`ruleId`, `severity`, `category` `format`, `path`, `scope`, `message`, `help`) plus `location` (`offset`, `length` in UTF-16 units, one-based `line` and `column`). Rule ids starting `markdown/` come from the Markdown; ids starting `opf/` are the [`validate`](validate.md) findings of the converted deck, located by the Markdown of the field they name. Options: `split` (`"rules"` or `"headings"`), `defaults`, `validate` (`true`, the default, checks `format` and `references`; a `ValidateOptions` object such as `{ only: ["content"] }` picks other rules; `false` skips the check).\n\nErrors: `front-matter`, `front-matter-not-mapping`, `front-matter-unterminated`, `front-matter-slides`, `no-slides`, `options-syntax`, `options-unknown-key`, `options-value`, `options-duplicate`, `options-orphan`, `options-trailing`, `options-embedded`, `comment-unterminated`, `duplicate-title`, `duplicate-subtitle`, `empty-heading`, `empty-quote`, `image-source`, `fence-unterminated`, `code-fence`, `chart-type`, `chart-attributes`, `chart-data`, `metric-block`, `timeline-attributes`, `timeline-description`, `timeline-events`, `opf-slide`, `opf-slide-not-mapping`, `opf-block`, `opf-block-not-mapping`, `slide-property-conflict`, `span-attributes`. Warnings: `front-matter-comments`, `empty-slide`, `heading-demoted`, `numbered-list`, `table-ragged`, `chart-ragged`, `formatting-dropped`.\n\n## Command line\n\n```text\nopf from-md <deck.md|-> [output.opf.json|-] [--split <rules|headings>] [--title <text>] [--force] [--fail-on <level>]\nopf to-md <deck.opf.json|-> [output.md|-] [--drop-unsupported] [--force] [--fail-on <level>]\n```\n\nBoth write to stdout by default and print a JSON report (on stderr when stdout carries the document). Exit codes follow the other commands: 0 success, 1 invalid content, an output conflict or a `--fail-on` failure, 2 usage, JSON or I/O error. `from-md` exits 1 with `markdown.findings` (line and column) on a Markdown or OPF error, and writes nothing; `--fail-on warning` also fails on warnings. `to-md --fail-on warning` fails when anything had to be embedded or dropped (such parts count as warnings), which keeps a deck inside the plain dialect.\n\n## Markdown decks in every command\n\n`from-md` and `to-md` convert with any file names. Besides them, every command that reads a deck reads Markdown, through one reader, as it reads [YAML](yaml.md#yaml-everywhere):\n\n1. A file whose name ends `.opf.md` (in any case) is a Markdown deck. **Only `.opf.md` counts**: a plain `.md` file is never taken for a deck, so a README or notes file is never converted by accident (a plain `.md` read as a deck is a JSON syntax error; convert it with `opf from-md`, or name it `.opf.md`).\n2. Anything else (stdin and every other name) follows the global option `--input-format <json|yaml|markdown>` (`md` is an alias), with **JSON as the default**. The option may appear anywhere before `--`. A file name that says its format wins over the option.\n3. The Markdown is converted with the CLI\'s registered catalogs (the default catalog), so the references check of `validate`, `render` and `export` resolves `name:id` references as it does for JSON. A Markdown syntax or conversion error exits **2**, like invalid JSON, and the message carries the position: `Invalid Markdown in deck.opf.md at line 1, column 1: The front matter starting on line 1 is not closed. [markdown/front-matter-unterminated]`, with the located findings under `markdown` in the JSON error report. `opf validate` instead reports it as a `markdown/<rule>` finding and exits 1, and `render` and `export` report it as a finding and exit 1. A deck that is valid Markdown but not valid OPF is reported by the command as it is for JSON, and `validate`, `render` and `export` locate every finding in the Markdown (`deck.opf.md:3:1  error  opf/schema ...`). A JSON Patch is JSON or YAML, never Markdown.\n\nA deck is written as Markdown when the output name ends `.opf.md` or `--format markdown` (or `--format md`) is given; `--format json` and `--format yaml` force the others. When the output is stdout or has another name, the format of the deck that was read is used: a Markdown deck is edited, merged, formatted, filled, paginated and bundled back to Markdown, in place or to stdout. `create`, `from-md` and `import` have no deck input and default to JSON (`create --from` follows the deck it reads). In `fill` and `import-data`, `--format csv|tsv|json` still names the data format; `--format yaml` and `--format markdown` select the output. `from-md` and `from-yaml` convert to JSON (`from-md` also to YAML) and refuse a `.opf.md` output.\n\n```sh\nopf edit deck.opf.md --patch changes.json --in-place     # the file stays Markdown\nopf format deck.opf.md                                    # canonical Markdown: toMarkdown(fromMarkdown(text))\nopf format deck.opf.md --check                            # exit 1 if the file would change\nopf format deck.opf.json --output deck.opf.md             # convert; --format markdown for stdout\nopf paginate deck.opf.md deck.paginated.opf.md\nopf validate - --input-format markdown < deck.txt\n```\n\n`opf format` rewrites a Markdown deck to the canonical form the writer produces, so the layout the dialect treats as equivalent (`*` and `-` bullets, extra blank lines, spacing in front matter) is normalized. Anything the dialect has no syntax for is carried in an `opf-slide` or `opf-block` fence, so a command that rewrites a deck can move content into a fence that was not there: for example an `edit` that adds `design` to a slide. The CLI prints `warning: <file> has N more opf-slide/opf-block fences than before: ...` on stderr when that happens (it does not fail, nothing is lost, and a deck that already had its fences does not warn). The `<!-- -->` comments of the source are not preserved beyond the slide and block options the dialect reads.\n\nIn code, `parse(text, { format, filename, catalogs })` and `stringify(presentation, { format | filename })` (the root and `@openpresentation/opf/deck`) read and write the three forms, and `@openpresentation/opf/node` reads and writes the files (`open`, `save`, `convert("deck.opf.json", "deck.opf.md")`): see [Reading and writing a deck in any form](validate.md#reading-a-deck-in-any-form).\n\n## Decisions and limits\n\nThese choices are the defaults of the module and can be changed.\n\n- **A dialect, not all of Markdown.** The block and inline syntax is the subset above with CommonMark\'s rules where they overlap. Setext headings, indented code, nested block quotes, raw HTML, reference links, footnotes and task lists are not part of it. Text the writer produces is escaped so it reads back as text.\n- **One YAML reader.** Front matter and the `opf-slide` and `opf-block` fences follow the same rules as a whole deck written as YAML ([OPF as YAML](yaml.md)) and use the `yaml` package (ISC, no dependencies, YAML 1.2 core schema: `2026-10-01` and `yes` stay strings). Metric blocks, timelines and chart CSV have small readers of their own because hand-written values such as `unit: %` are not valid YAML.\n- **Slide options live in HTML comments**, so any other Markdown viewer shows the slide content and ignores them.\n- **The pptx.dev Markdown view** targets the pre-v1 `elements` model: it starts a slide at each `##` heading and writes `{id=...}` attribute lines. This module keeps its front matter and its escape-hatch fences (`opf-slide`, `opf-block`) and replaces the rest, because the v1 slide is a title, a subtitle and content that maps one-to-one onto `#`, `##` and blocks.\n- **Templates.** A [template](templates-and-variables.md) is an ordinary deck here: `template: true` and `variables` are front matter, and placeholders such as `{{client}}` and `var:logo` fields are plain text. Convert, then fill with `opf fill`.\n- **Not yet in the dialect.** `numbering` on lists ([numbered lists](numbered-lists.md): the schema and the renderers have it, but the dialect does not read `1.` markers as numbering; they become bullets with a warning, and a `numbering` field in a deck is written in an `opf-slide` or `opf-block` fence and round trips), footnotes, citations and captions (RR-34), video with a description, and per-slide `design`, `composition` and nested groups (all of these embed as YAML and round trip).\n'
+    "markdown": '# Markdown and outlines\n\n`@openpresentation/opf/markdown` (RR-30) converts between OPF and a small, documented Markdown dialect, in both directions, with no renderer, fonts, network or model: the same input always gives the same output. The CLI exposes it through `opf convert` (`deck.md` or `deck.opf.md` to `deck.opf.json` and back; `opf from-md` and `opf to-md` before 0.18), and every command that reads or writes a deck understands a file ending `.opf.md` ([Markdown decks in every command](#markdown-decks-in-every-command)); `parse` and `stringify` read and write a deck in JSON, YAML or Markdown with one call, and `open`, `save` and `convert` of `@openpresentation/opf` do it for files in Node.\n\n- **JSON stays canonical.** The schema, the interchange form and every package describe the JSON. A `.opf.md` file is an authoring serialization of the same data, as a `.opf.yaml` file is ([OPF as YAML](yaml.md)).\n- **Write a deck as text.** YAML front matter holds the deck, `---` separates slides, `#` is the title, `##` the subtitle, and lists, quotes, tables, images, code, charts, metrics, timelines and speaker notes have their own syntax.\n- **Read a deck as text.** `toMarkdown` writes any valid OPF document as that dialect. What the dialect has no syntax for (a design, nested groups, a styled table cell) is embedded as YAML in a fenced block, so nothing is lost; or it is left out and reported, on request.\n- **Round trip.** The Markdown the writer produces converts back to the same deck and to itself, byte for byte. Markdown written by hand converts to a deck whose canonical Markdown is the same text, apart from layout the dialect treats as equivalent (the examples in `examples/markdown/` are canonical).\n- **Errors have places.** Findings use the shared [Finding format](finding-schema-reference.md) and carry the source offset, length, line and column of the Markdown that caused them, including OPF validation errors mapped back to the Markdown that produced the field.\n\n```js\nimport { fromMarkdown, toMarkdown } from "@openpresentation/opf/markdown";\n\nconst { presentation, valid, findings } = fromMarkdown(markdown);\nconst { markdown: text, report } = toMarkdown(presentation);\n```\n\n```sh\nopf convert deck.md deck.opf.json\nopf convert deck.opf.json deck.opf.md\nopf validate deck.opf.md\nopf convert deck.opf.md slides/deck.svg\n```\n\n## An example\n\n````md\n---\nname: Q3 Business Review\nlanguage: en-US\n---\n\n<!-- slide: id=cover layout=title section=Overview -->\n# Q3 Business Review\n\n## Operations and growth\n\nNote: Two minutes on the agenda, then straight into the numbers.\n\n---\n\n# Revenue grew every quarter\n\n```chart column\nQuarter,Revenue\nQ1,12\nQ2,18\n```\n\n> We would rather spend a week on capacity than a month on an outage.\n> \u2014 Priya Raman, Head of Platform\n````\n\nconverts to\n\n```json\n{\n  "name": "Q3 Business Review",\n  "language": "en-US",\n  "slides": [\n    { "id": "cover", "layout": "title", "section": "Overview", "title": "Q3 Business Review", "subtitle": "Operations and growth", "notes": "Two minutes on the agenda, then straight into the numbers." },\n    {\n      "title": "Revenue grew every quarter",\n      "blocks": [\n        { "chart": { "type": "column", "data": { "columns": ["Quarter", "Revenue"], "rows": [["Q1", 12], ["Q2", 18]] } } },\n        { "quote": { "text": "We would rather spend a week on capacity than a month on an outage.", "attribution": "Priya Raman, Head of Platform" } }\n      ]\n    }\n  ]\n}\n```\n\n[`examples/markdown/quarterly-review.opf.md`](../examples/markdown/quarterly-review.opf.md) uses every block kind. [`examples/markdown/outline.md`](../examples/markdown/outline.md) is a plain outline read with `split: "headings"`.\n\n## The dialect\n\n### Document\n\n| Part | Syntax | OPF |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Deck | YAML between a first line `---` and a closing `---` (or `...`) | Every deck property except `slides`: `name`, `description`, `language`, `design`, `variables`, `assets`, `extensions`, ... in the order written. JSON-compatible YAML only: no anchors, tags or duplicate keys. `slides` is not allowed |\n| Slides | Lines of three or more hyphens, outside fences, HTML comments and speaker notes\' fences | One slide per segment. Empty segments are skipped (a warning when between two slides); `<!-- slide -->` keeps an empty slide |\n| Outline | `split: "auto"` (the default) or `"headings"` (`--split headings`) | With no `---` line and two or more `# ` headings outside fences, comments and notes, each `# ` heading starts a slide, so a bare outline needs no `---`. `"headings"` cuts at every `# ` heading, even inside speaker notes; `"rules"` (`--split rules`) cuts only at `---`, so a second `# ` is a second title |\n\nA deck without front matter starts with its first slide, so a file never begins with `---` unless it opens the front matter. Line endings may be LF, CRLF or CR and a leading BOM is ignored. The converter adds nothing the Markdown does not say: no `$schema`, no `name` (pass `defaults: { name }` or `--title` for a fallback that the front matter overrides).\n\n### Slide\n\n| Part | Syntax | OPF |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Options | `<!-- slide: id=cover layout=title section="Part 1" tag=NEW hidden beat=a beat=b type=chart -->` | `id`, `layout`, `section`, `tag`, `hidden` (`hidden=false` too), `beat` (repeat for several), `type`. Values are bare words or JSON strings. At most one per slide, anywhere in it; written first |\n| Title | `# Title` | `title`: a string, or `TextRun[]` when the line has [inline formatting](#inline-text). One per slide; closing `#` characters are dropped |\n| Subtitle | `## Subtitle` | `subtitle`, a string or `TextRun[]` like the title. One per slide |\n| Deeper headings | `### Text` | A bold paragraph, with a `heading-demoted` warning |\n| Notes | `Note: ...` or `Notes: ...` at the start of a line | `notes`: plain text, every following line of the slide verbatim (blank lines, `#`, `-` and fences included), ending at the next `---` |\n| Content | The blocks below, top to bottom | One block with no `id`/`type`/`region`: a root field (`text`, `items`, `chart`, ...). Otherwise `blocks` |\n| Embedded | A fenced `opf-slide` block of YAML | Extra slide fields merged in (`composition`, `design`, `extensions`, ...). A field set both here and in Markdown is an error |\n\n### Blocks\n\nBlocks are separated by blank lines; a fence, heading, quote, table, image line or comment also ends a paragraph or list without one. A comment `<!-- block: ... -->` directly before a block gives it options:\n\n| Option | Meaning |\n| --- | --- |\n| `id=...`, `type=...` | The block\'s `id` and explicit `type`. Such a block is always an entry in `blocks` |\n| `as=bullets` | Store a list as `bullets` instead of `items` |\n| `as=video` | Store an image line as `video` |\n| `region=top:left` | Put the block in that promoted region of the slide (`left`, `center+right`, `top+middle`, `middle+bottom:left+center+right`, ...) instead of the content |\n\n| Markdown | OPF field | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| A paragraph | `text` | A soft line break is a space; a backslash at the end of a line is a hard break (`\\n`). Inline formatting becomes `TextRun[]`, otherwise a string |\n| `- item` (`*` and `+` too) | `items` | Nested by deeper indentation (two spaces when written) into `level`. An indented line `  : text` after an item is its `description`. A different marker character starts a new list (the writer alternates `-` and `*` for lists in a row). Numbered markers (`1.`) are read as bullets with a `numbered-list` warning: the dialect has no syntax for the `numbering` field of [numbered lists](numbered-lists.md), so numbers and styles are not kept (add `numbering` in an `opf-slide` or `opf-block` fence) |\n| `> text` and trailing dash lines | `quote` | `> \u2014 Name, Title` is the `attribution`, a second dash line the `source`. The rules (`\u2014`, `\u2013`, `--`, `~`, `-`; one short line; not a dashed list) are those of [content conversions](conversions.md), as is the code fence rule. A quote with a `role` or a `photo` has no Markdown form (a dash line holds a name and a title in one string, and a quote has no image syntax): it is written as an `opf-block`, which reads back exactly. Put `Name, Title` in the attribution line for a plain Markdown quote |\n| ```` ```lang title="file" ```` | `code` | `{ source, language, filename }`, or just the string when there is neither. Backtick or tilde fences, longer fences for code that contains fences |\n| `\\| a \\| b \\|` rows with a `\\| --- \\| --- \\|` row | `table` | The first row is `columns`; an all-empty first row means none. Cells are text with inline formatting, as in the [data import](data-import.md) (`007` and `2024` stay text); an empty cell is `null`. `\\|` is a pipe, `<br>` a line break. Alignment colons are ignored. Short and long rows warn. A table with an `alt` has no pipe-table syntax for it, so it is written as an `opf-block` and reads back exactly |\n| `![alt](src "title")` | `image` | `{ src, alt, title }`, or the string when there is only a source. `<src with spaces>` in angle brackets |\n| ```` ```metric ```` | `metric` | `key: value` lines: `value`, `label`, `description`, `unit`, `delta`, `trend`, `sentiment`. A plain decimal `value` or `delta` is a number; `"..."` is a JSON string; `unit: %` and `delta: +3 pts` are plain text |\n| ```` ```chart column ```` | `chart` | The word after `chart` is the chart `type`; an optional `alt="..."` after it is the chart\'s text alternative (`alt=""` marks it decorative; a quoted JSON string, as on the timeline fence). The body is CSV with a header row (the first column is the category labels and always text; in the other columns an unquoted decimal is a number, `true` and `false` are booleans, an empty field is `null` and a quoted field is text) or a JSON object holding `columns` and `rows` |\n| ```` ```timeline name="Roadmap" ```` | `timeline` | One event per line: `when \u2014 what` (spaced em dash), or the date forms of the conversions (`2026 Q1: Pilot`, `Jan - Kickoff`), or just `what`. A task-list prefix sets the event\'s `status`: `[x]` done, `[>]` current ("we are here"), `[ ]` planned. An indented line is the event\'s `description`. `name` and `description` go on the fence line |\n| ```` ```opf-block ```` | any block | A YAML `ContentPayload`: `id`, `type`, any content field, nested `blocks` groups |\n\n### Inline text\n\n| Syntax | Run |\n| --- | --- |\n| `**bold**`, `__bold__` | `bold` |\n| `*italic*`, `_italic_` | `italic` (`_` only at word edges: `snake_case` is text) |\n| `~~strike~~` | `strikethrough` |\n| `` `code` ``, ``` ``a ` b`` ``` | `code` (a backtick fence of any length; one space is trimmed from each side when both sides have one; the text is literal and other formatting wraps the span) |\n| `<u>`, `<sup>`, `<sub>` | `underline`, `superscript`, `subscript` |\n| `[text](url)`, `<https://...>` | `link` (a link title is ignored) |\n| `[text]{color=#B42318 size=24 font="Open Sans"}` | `color` (a hex colour, scheme slot or `var:name`), `fontSize`, `fontFamily`, `lang` (a BCP-47 tag); `bold italic underline strike sup sub` work inside the braces too |\n| `\\*` and any backslash before ASCII punctuation | The character itself |\n\nFlanking follows CommonMark, so `2*(3+4)*5` and `a * b` are text. A backtick that has no matching fence, or that is escaped with a backslash, is text. There is no raw HTML beyond the tags above and `<br>`, no entities (`&amp;` is literal) and no setext headings or indented code. The title, the subtitle and a quote\'s text keep inline formatting (a string when nothing is formatted, `TextRun[]` otherwise); a quote with formatted text and no attribution stays `{ text: [...] }`, because the string shorthand is for plain text. A quote\'s attribution and source are plain strings and drop formatting with a `formatting-dropped` warning; backticks in them stay literal characters. `cite` and `footnote` have no inline syntax: a heading or quote that carries one is written in an `opf-slide` fence. Image alt text, code, metric values and timeline lines are read as written, without inline formatting.\n\n## Writing OPF as Markdown\n\n`toMarkdown(presentation, { unsupported })` first validates the presentation (`OPFMarkdownError`, `code: "invalid-document"`, when it is not valid OPF). Every part is written in the dialect and **read back before it is kept**: a part whose text could not be read back as the same value (a table cell that is not text, a title that ends in ` #`, a title or quote run with `cite` or `footnote`, notes with a `---` line, formatting next to punctuation that CommonMark cannot open) takes the fallback instead of being written wrongly.\n\n| `unsupported` | Behaviour |\n| --- | --- |\n| `"embed"` (default) | The part is written as YAML: a block in an `opf-block` fence, slide fields (and any region that is not one plain block) in an `opf-slide` fence. The result converts back to the same deck |\n| `"drop"` | The part is left out and listed in `report.loss`. For Markdown to read, not to convert back |\n\nThe report is `{ lossless, native, embedded, loss }`: `native` is true when the whole document is plain dialect syntax, `embedded` lists the JSON Pointer and reason of each YAML part, `loss` is empty unless `unsupported` is `drop`. The 126 example decks need YAML for fewer than 5% of their slides (36 of 805): table cells that are numbers, booleans or styled, video assets with a `description`, nested groups, `href` runs.\n\nThe writer\'s canonical form: front matter, then slides joined by a blank line, `---` and a blank line; the options comment directly above what follows it; one blank line between blocks; two lists in a row alternate `-` and `*` so they stay two blocks. A round trip may collapse equivalent forms:\n\n- `blocks` with one plain block becomes the root field; a root with several content fields becomes `blocks` in key order.\n- Shorthand and object forms collapse to the shorter one: a metric with only `value`, a code object with only `source`, an image with only `src`, a quote with only `text`, a timeline array with no name, a list item with level 0 and no description.\n- Adjacent runs with the same formatting merge and `false` flags drop.\n\n## Findings\n\n`fromMarkdown(markdown, options)` never throws for malformed content. It returns the deck with the [validate](validate.md) report of it, `{ presentation, valid, findings, counts, schemaValid, checks }` (plus `template` and `unfilledVariables` for a deck with content variables), as `fromYaml` does; `presentation` is a best effort when `valid` is false and `schemaValid` is `null` when the check did not run (`validate: false`, or no slides). Each finding is a [Finding](finding-schema-reference.md) (`ruleId`, `severity`, `category` `format`, `path`, `scope`, `message`, `help`) plus `location` (`offset`, `length` in UTF-16 units, one-based `line` and `column`). Rule ids starting `markdown/` come from the Markdown; ids starting `opf/` are the [`validate`](validate.md) findings of the converted deck, located by the Markdown of the field they name. Options: `split` (`"rules"` or `"headings"`), `defaults`, `validate` (`true`, the default, checks `format` and `references`; a `ValidateOptions` object such as `{ only: ["content"] }` picks other rules; `false` skips the check).\n\nErrors: `front-matter`, `front-matter-not-mapping`, `front-matter-unterminated`, `front-matter-slides`, `no-slides`, `options-syntax`, `options-unknown-key`, `options-value`, `options-duplicate`, `options-orphan`, `options-trailing`, `options-embedded`, `comment-unterminated`, `duplicate-title`, `duplicate-subtitle`, `empty-heading`, `empty-quote`, `image-source`, `fence-unterminated`, `code-fence`, `chart-type`, `chart-attributes`, `chart-data`, `metric-block`, `timeline-attributes`, `timeline-description`, `timeline-events`, `opf-slide`, `opf-slide-not-mapping`, `opf-block`, `opf-block-not-mapping`, `slide-property-conflict`, `span-attributes`. Warnings: `front-matter-comments`, `empty-slide`, `heading-demoted`, `numbered-list`, `table-ragged`, `chart-ragged`, `formatting-dropped`.\n\n## Command line\n\n```text\nopf convert <deck.md|deck.opf.md|-> <output.opf.json|output.opf.yaml|-> [--from md] [--to json|yaml] [--split <auto|rules|headings>] [--title <text>] [--force] [--fail-on <level>]\nopf convert <deck.opf.json|-> <output.opf.md|-> [--to md] [--drop-unsupported] [--force] [--fail-on <level>]\n```\n\nA plain `.md` input is read as OPF Markdown (only on `opf convert`\'s input side; a Markdown output is named `.opf.md`). Output `-` writes stdout (with `--to`) and the JSON report goes to stderr. Exit codes follow the other commands: 0 success, 1 a deck that is not valid OPF, an output conflict or a `--fail-on` failure, 2 usage, a Markdown syntax error (with the located `findings`), or I/O. Nothing is written on a failure. A part the dialect has no syntax for is embedded and counted as a warning (`markdown/embedded`; `markdown/dropped` with `--drop-unsupported`), so `--fail-on warning` keeps a deck inside the plain dialect. `--split` and `--title` apply to a Markdown input and `--drop-unsupported` to a Markdown output; anywhere else they are usage errors. `opf from-md` and `opf to-md` were removed in 0.18.\n\n## Markdown decks in every command\n\nEvery command that reads a deck reads Markdown, through one reader, as it reads [YAML](yaml.md#yaml-everywhere):\n\n1. A file whose name ends `.opf.md` (in any case) is a Markdown deck. **Only `.opf.md` counts**: a plain `.md` file is never taken for a deck, so a README or notes file is never converted by accident (a plain `.md` needs `--from md`, or convert it with `opf convert notes.md deck.opf.json`, or name it `.opf.md`).\n2. Anything else (stdin and every other name) is JSON when the text starts with `{` or `[`; otherwise `--from md` (`markdown` is an alias; or `--from yaml`) says what it is, and without it the command exits 2 and asks for it. `--from` wins over a name.\n3. The Markdown is converted with the CLI\'s registered catalogs (the default catalog), so the references check of `validate` and `convert` resolves `name:id` references as it does for JSON. A Markdown syntax or conversion error exits **2**, like invalid JSON, and the message carries the position: `Invalid Markdown in deck.opf.md at line 1, column 1: The front matter starting on line 1 is not closed. [markdown/front-matter-unterminated]`, with the located `findings` and `code: "invalid-markdown"` in the JSON error report. `opf validate` instead reports it as a `markdown/<rule>` finding and exits 1. A deck that is valid Markdown but not valid OPF is reported by the command as it is for JSON, and `validate` and `convert` locate every finding in the Markdown (`deck.opf.md:3:1  error  opf/schema ...`). A JSON Patch is JSON or YAML, never Markdown.\n\nA deck is written as Markdown when the output name ends `.opf.md` or `--to md` (or `--to markdown`) is given; `--to json` and `--to yaml` force the others. When the output is stdout or has another name, the format of the deck that was read is used: a Markdown deck is edited, merged, filled, paginated and embedded back to Markdown, in place (`-i`) or to stdout. `create` has no deck input and defaults to JSON. In `fill` and `ingest`, `--data-format csv|tsv|json` names the data format and `--to` the output.\n\n```sh\nopf edit deck.opf.md --patch changes.json -i             # the file stays Markdown\nopf format deck.opf.md                                    # canonical Markdown: toMarkdown(fromMarkdown(text))\nopf format deck.opf.md --check                            # exit 1 if the file would change\nopf convert deck.opf.json deck.opf.md                     # convert; - --to md for stdout\nopf paginate deck.opf.md deck.paginated.opf.md\nopf validate - --from md < deck.txt\n```\n\n`opf format` rewrites a Markdown deck to the canonical form the writer produces, so the layout the dialect treats as equivalent (`*` and `-` bullets, extra blank lines, spacing in front matter) is normalized. Anything the dialect has no syntax for is carried in an `opf-slide` or `opf-block` fence, so a command that rewrites a deck can move content into a fence that was not there: for example an `edit` that adds `design` to a slide. The CLI prints `warning: <file> has N more opf-slide/opf-block fences than before: ...` on stderr when that happens (it does not fail, nothing is lost, and a deck that already had its fences does not warn). The `<!-- -->` comments of the source are not preserved beyond the slide and block options the dialect reads.\n\nIn code, `parse(text, { format, filename, catalogs })` and `stringify(presentation, { format | filename })` (the root and `@openpresentation/opf/deck`) read and write the three forms, and in Node `@openpresentation/opf` reads and writes the files (`open`, `save`, `convert("deck.opf.json", "deck.opf.md")`): see [Reading and writing a deck in any form](validate.md#reading-a-deck-in-any-form).\n\n## Decisions and limits\n\nThese choices are the defaults of the module and can be changed.\n\n- **A dialect, not all of Markdown.** The block and inline syntax is the subset above with CommonMark\'s rules where they overlap. Setext headings, indented code, nested block quotes, raw HTML, reference links, footnotes and task lists are not part of it. Text the writer produces is escaped so it reads back as text.\n- **One YAML reader.** Front matter and the `opf-slide` and `opf-block` fences follow the same rules as a whole deck written as YAML ([OPF as YAML](yaml.md)) and use the `yaml` package (ISC, no dependencies, YAML 1.2 core schema: `2026-10-01` and `yes` stay strings). Metric blocks, timelines and chart CSV have small readers of their own because hand-written values such as `unit: %` are not valid YAML.\n- **Slide options live in HTML comments**, so any other Markdown viewer shows the slide content and ignores them.\n- **The pptx.dev Markdown view** targets the pre-v1 `elements` model: it starts a slide at each `##` heading and writes `{id=...}` attribute lines. This module keeps its front matter and its escape-hatch fences (`opf-slide`, `opf-block`) and replaces the rest, because the v1 slide is a title, a subtitle and content that maps one-to-one onto `#`, `##` and blocks.\n- **Templates.** A [template](templates-and-variables.md) is an ordinary deck here: `template: true` and `variables` are front matter, and placeholders such as `{{client}}` and `var:logo` fields are plain text. Convert, then fill with `opf fill`.\n- **Not yet in the dialect.** `numbering` on lists ([numbered lists](numbered-lists.md): the schema and the renderers have it, but the dialect does not read `1.` markers as numbering; they become bullets with a warning, and a `numbering` field in a deck is written in an `opf-slide` or `opf-block` fence and round trips), footnotes, citations and captions (RR-34), video with a description, and per-slide `design`, `composition` and nested groups (all of these embed as YAML and round trip).\n'

(padded to three digits, or more for a longer deck; the numbers are the deck\'s slide numbers).

Parent\nfolders are created. Each file is written to a temporary sibling and renamed, so no partial file ever has the final name, and\nan output that exists is replaced, as `save` and `fs.writeFile` do: running the same `convert` again rebuilds the file.\n`overwrite: false` refuses an existing output with `output-exists` before anything is written, the rule the `opf` commands\napply without `--force`.

Only image files inside it are read, and URLs are never fetched.\n\n**Chaining.** A `.pptx` input is imported, checked and then exported or written. `findings` holds both steps: the importer\'s\ndiagnostics carry the `import/` rule prefix, the format and references check `opf/`, and the engines `render/`, `pptx/`,\n`pdf/`, `fonts/` and `cli/`.\n\n## `open(pathOrBytes, options?)`\n\nReturns the presentation itself.

An invalid deck throws `OPFValidationError`,\nwhose findings are located by line and column in the file; a PowerPoint file that cannot be imported throws `OPFImportError`.\nWarnings are not returned: `validate` reports them, and `convert("deck.pptx", "deck.opf.yaml")` returns what an import could\nnot keep. `catalogs` (default: the default catalog) is where references resolve.\n\n## `save(deck, path, options?)`\n\nWrites the deck in the form the file name names (`.opf.md`, `.yaml`/`.yml` or `.json`), atomically, creating folders and\nreplacing the file. It checks format and references first and refuses an invalid deck with `OPFValidationError`; `validate:\nfalse` writes work in progress, as an editor\'s autosave does (the YAML and Markdown writers still refuse a document that is\nnot well-formed OPF). `schemaComment: true` starts a YAML file with the editor modeline. Returns `{ path, format }`.\n\n## Errors\n\nEvery error has a `code`; branch on it, never on the message.\n\n| Class | Codes |\n| --- | --- |\n| `OPFApiError` (the base class) | `invalid-option`, `input-not-found`, `input-unreadable`, `invalid-presentation` (a deck written as a deck), `output-exists`, `output-not-file`, `output-unwritable` |\n| `OPFExportError` | the export step: `peer-not-installed` (the message carries the install command; `details` the package and range), `peer-too-old`, `peer-load-failed`, `invalid-option`, `invalid-presentation`, `no-slides`, `all-slides-hidden`, `export-failed`, a font code |\n| `OPFImportError` | the import step and `open` of a PowerPoint file: `peer-not-installed`, `peer-too-old`, `peer-load-failed`, `import-failed`, `invalid-presentation` |\n| `OPFValidationError` | `open` and `save` of an invalid deck; also thrown by core\'s `parse` and `assertValid` |\n\n`findings` on an error holds the located findings of the failed step.\n\n## Fonts, determinism and the network\n\nDrawing uses the renderer\'s bundled open font pack (the office pack with visual substitution) plus the `fontDirs` files, never\nsystem fonts. The pack is prepared once per process and reused by every call that passes neither `fonts` nor `fontDirs` (with\n`fontDirs`, once per list of files); a deck that draws a script beyond Latin, Greek and Cyrillic gets a handle with its script\nfaces. Concurrent calls share the one preparation and draw one at a time on it. The output is the same bytes as with a handle\nof the caller\'s own. Nothing is fetched and no clock is read: the same input, options and installed versions give the same\nbytes on every machine.\n\n## Reading and writing text without files\n\nCore\'s root (browser-safe) reads and writes deck text: `parse(text, { filename?, format?, catalogs? })` returns the\npresentation and throws `OPFValidationError` on syntax, schema or reference errors (findings located by line and column);\n`stringify(deck, { format? | filename? })` returns text; `validate(text)` returns the full report, warnings included.\n'

In a browser or a worker the\nsame import gives the browser-safe build, with the same names, where only the file functions refuse.\n\n```ts\nimport * as opf from "@openpresentation/opf";\n\nawait opf.convert("deck.opf.md", "deck.pdf");\nconst deck = await opf.open("deck.opf.md");\ndeck.slides.push({ title: "Q4" });\nawait opf.save(deck, "deck.opf.md");\nconst { files } = await opf.convert(deck, { format: "pptx" }); // bytes, nothing written\n```\n\nThe namespace is all of core (`validate`, `parse`, `stringify`, `paginate`, `parseSlideSelection`, the types and the error\nclasses), so one import covers an application. The default catalog is exported only at `@openpresentation/opf/catalog`; in Node,\n`open`, `save` and `convert` use it when no `catalogs` are passed.\n\n## The CLI\'s verbs, with the CLI\'s defaults\n\nOPF 0.18 gives the Node build the verbs of the `opf` command, so a script calls them instead of spawning `opf`:\n\n| Function | Command | In Node, when `catalogs` is omitted |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| `validate(deck, options?)` | `opf validate` | the default catalog is registered, so `opf validate deck` and `validate(deck)` report the same findings |\n| `stats(deck, options?)` | `opf stats` | the default catalog |\n| `paginate(deck, options?)` | `opf paginate` | the default catalog. Pass `fonts` (opf-render\'s `loadFonts()`) for measured page breaks; without it the result says `layout: "estimated"`. `opf paginate` measures with the office pack, prepared once per process, as `convert` does for an export with `paginate: true` |\n| `embed(deck, options?)` | `opf embed` | the default catalog |\n| `edit(deck, patch, options?)` | `opf edit` | the default catalog for the check. Applies a JSON Patch whole or not at all (`OPFPatchError`), checks the result (`OPFValidationError`; `validate: false` skips it) and returns `{ presentation, findings, inverse }` |\n| `fill(template, data?, options?)` | `opf fill` | no catalog: `data` is CSV, TSV or JSON text, a record or a list of records; returns `{ decks, complete, unfilled, diagnostics }`, and `presentation` with `combine: true`. `fillRecords(text)` reads the records alone |\n| `diff(a, b)`, `merge(base, ours, theirs)` | `opf diff`, `opf merge` | no catalog |\n\nAn explicit `catalogs: []` registers none. The browser build exports the same functions and registers no catalog (FA-21): a\nbrowser host passes `{ catalogs: [defaultCatalog] }` itself. Only `open`, `save` and `convert` are Node only.\n\nA shorter name is available as an npm alias, if you want one: `npm i opf@npm:@openpresentation/opf` installs the same package\nas `opf`, so `import * as opf from "opf"` works too. The docs keep the full name.\n\n## One import for every runtime\n\nOPF 0.18 removed the `@openpresentation/opf/node` subpath of 0.17: import `@openpresentation/opf` instead, with the same names\n(but `defaultCatalog`, which stays at `@openpresentation/opf/catalog`).\nThe package\'s conditional exports pick the build:\n\n| Condition | Build | `open`, `save`, `convert` |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| `bun`, `deno`, `node` | the full build (`dist/index.js`) | work on files, and `convert` also returns bytes |\n| `workerd` (Cloudflare), `worker`, `browser`, `default` | the browser-safe build (`dist/browser.js`) | reject with `OPFApiError` code `node-only` |\n\n- **One type surface.** Both builds share `dist/index.d.ts` (the `types` condition, first in the map), so TypeScript sees the\n  same declarations under `NodeNext` and `Bundler` resolution; the file functions are documented there as Node only. The\n  declarations need no Node types.\n- **The browser-safe build** imports no Node builtin, no file system and neither engine (`scripts/check-browser-safe.mjs`\n  bundles it for the browser and worker conditions). Its `node-only` messages name the alternative: `parse(text, { filename })`\n  for `open`, `stringify(deck, { filename })` for `save`, and for `convert` the deck forms through `parse` and `stringify` and\n  drawing through opf-render\'s `/export-browser` entry. The in-memory `convert(deck, { format })` is Node only in 0.18 too; a\n  later release adds a browser implementation through `/export-browser`.\n- **The Node build** loads its file engine on the first file call, so importing the root costs no more than core.\n- **Bundlers** pick the browser build for a browser target and the full build for a Node target. A bundler that sets neither\n  condition gets `default`, the browser-safe build: for a Node bundle, add the `node` condition (Rollup\'s node-resolve\n  `exportConditions: ["node"]`, esbuild\'s `platform: "node"`).\n\n## The stack\n\nOPF is five packages. **Core** (`@openpresentation/opf`) is the format and its API: schemas, types, `validate`, `parse` and\n`stringify`, composition and pagination, and in Node the files. **The CLI** (`@openpresentation/cli`) is the `opf` command;\nits `convert`, `render`, `export` and `import` commands run core\'s Node engine (through `@openpresentation/opf/internal/engine`,\nwhich the package exports under the `node` condition for the CLI only; it is not an application API). **opf-render**,\n**opf-pptx** and **opf-editor** are the engines: drawing (SVG, PNG, PDF), PowerPoint (export and import) and the editor.\n\n## Install\n\n```sh\nnpm install @openpresentation/opf @openpresentation/opf-render @openpresentation/opf-pptx \\\n  @resvg/resvg-js sharp pdf-lib \\\n  @expo-google-fonts/roboto@0.4.3 @expo-google-fonts/roboto-mono@0.4.2 @expo-google-fonts/caladea@0.4.2 \\\n  @expo-google-fonts/arimo@0.4.3 @expo-google-fonts/tinos@0.4.2 @expo-google-fonts/cousine@0.4.3 \\\n  @expo-google-fonts/gelasio@0.4.1 @expo-google-fonts/noto-sans@0.4.2\n```\n\n`@openpresentation/opf-render` and `@openpresentation/opf-pptx` are optional peer dependencies of core: npm does not install them\nfor you, and an application that only reads, validates or converts between deck forms needs neither.

-    "markdown": '# Patch, diff, merge and format\n\nStatus: in core 0.12.0 (RR-31) as the `@openpresentation/opf/patch`, `/diff` and `/format` entrypoints; the CLI commands `opf diff`, `opf merge` and `opf format` are in CLI 0.10.0 and later, not in CLI 0.9.2 (which has `opf edit`, JSON Patch). Core 0.11.4 and earlier lack the entrypoints. Check `opf --help` and the installed package exports before relying on them.\n\nFour deterministic, local pieces share one implementation: no network, no model call, no clock, no randomness. The same inputs always give the same output.\n\n| Piece | Core entrypoint | CLI |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| JSON Patch (RFC 6902) with inverse patches | `@openpresentation/opf/patch` | `opf edit` |\n| Semantic diff of two documents | `@openpresentation/opf/diff` | `opf diff` |\n| Three-way merge with conflict objects | `@openpresentation/opf/diff` | `opf merge` |\n| Canonical key order and layout | `@openpresentation/opf/format` | `opf format` |\n\n## One patch module\n\n`opf edit`, the editor session (`@openpresentation/opf-editor`, undo/redo) and the diff output all use `@openpresentation/opf/patch`. There is no second implementation.\n\n```ts\nimport { applyPatch, applyPatchWithInverse, invertPatch, OPFPatchError } from "@openpresentation/opf/patch";\n\nconst next = applyPatch(presentation, [\n  { op: "test", path: "/slides/0/id", value: "intro" },\n  { op: "replace", path: "/slides/0/title", value: "Welcome" },\n  { op: "move", from: "/slides/3", path: "/slides/1" },\n]);\n// applyPatch clones: `presentation` is never changed, and any failure applies nothing.\n\nconst { presentation: after, inverse } = applyPatchWithInverse(presentation, patch);\napplyPatch(after, inverse); // deep-equals `presentation`: this is the undo patch\n```\n\n- All six RFC 6902 operations: `add`, `remove`, `replace`, `move`, `copy`, `test`. Unknown members of an operation are ignored (RFC 6902 section 4); unknown `op` values are errors.\n- Pointers are strict RFC 6901. `-` is accepted only as the final token of an `add`, `move` target or `copy` target. Array indexes are canonical decimal (`01`, `-1` and `1.0` are errors). `parsePointer`, `formatPointer`, `escapePointerToken`, `pointerFromPath` (a pointer, an OPF dotted path such as `slides.0.title`, or a segment array) and `splitPointer` give every caller the same path handling; build pointers with `formatPointer` rather than joining unescaped keys.\n- Errors are `OPFPatchError` with a stable `code` (`patch-test-failed`, `patch-path-missing`, `patch-parent-missing`, `invalid-array-index`, `invalid-json-pointer`, `invalid-patch`, `invalid-patch-operation`, `unsupported-patch-operation`, `patch-invalid-move`, `patch-root-remove`, `patch-invalid-document`), the failing operation\'s `index` and `path`, and a message that starts with `Operation <n>:`.\n- `test` fails on a missing path, and compares by JSON value: member order is irrelevant, `0` equals `-0`, arrays compare in order. `move` onto itself is a no-op; moving a value into its own descendant is an error; removing the document root is an error. A `__proto__` key is data and never reaches a prototype.\n- Optional schema validation of the result: `applyPatch(presentation, patch, { validate: true })` (or a custom validator; add `strict: true` to reject warnings) throws `OPFPatchValidationError` with the full validation report when the final document is invalid. Intermediate states are not validated, so a patch may pass through an invalid state. `opf edit` validates the saved document itself, as before.\n- Inverse patches: `applyPatchWithInverse` and `invertPatch` return operations that restore the input exactly, in reverse order, with concrete array indexes (the inverse of an `add` at `-` removes the real index). `test` has no inverse. The editor stores these in its undo stack.\n\n## Diff\n\n```ts\nimport { diff, formatDiffReport } from "@openpresentation/opf/diff";\n\nconst result = diff(a, b);\nresult.equal;     // true when nothing differs\nresult.patch;     // RFC 6902 patch: applyPatch(a, result.patch) deep-equals b\nresult.changes;   // typed, categorised changes\nresult.slides;    // how each slide was matched, and its status\nresult.summary;   // counts by type, category and slide status\nformatDiffReport(result); // plain-text report\n```\n\n**Matching.** Arrays are matched element by element, in this order, and the same rule applies to slides, blocks, list items, table rows and every other array:\n\n1. a shared string `id`;\n2. identical content (an order-preserving match first, then anywhere, so a moved slide with no `id` is still found);\n3. content similarity for objects and arrays: the share of scalar leaves with the same path and value, with partial credit for text that shares words. The default threshold is 0.5 (`threshold` option); two elements that both carry an `id` and differ in it must reach 0.8, so an unrelated added slide is not mistaken for a renamed one;\n4. leftover primitives between matched neighbours pair by position (an edited bullet is one `replace`).\n\nTies break by index, so the result never depends on iteration order or object key order. Arrays too large for the similarity pass (over 250,000 element pairs) fall back to id and equality matching.\n\n**Moves.** Matched elements that are out of order are found with a longest in-order chain, so moving one slide is one `move` operation and one `moved` change, not a remove and an add.\n\n**Changes.** Each change has a `type` (`added`, `removed`, `changed`, `moved`), a `category` (`slide`, `block`, `field`, `design`, `metadata`, `assets`, `catalogs`, `variables`, `narrative`, `extensions`), a JSON Pointer in A (`aPath`) and/or B (`bPath`), the `before` and `after` values, and the `slide` it belongs to (`id`, `title`, `aIndex`, `bIndex`). Root keys other than `slides`, `design`, `assets`, `catalogs`, `variables`, `narrative` and `extensions` are `metadata`; a slide\'s own `design` is `design`; adding, removing or moving a `blocks` element or a region payload (`left`, `center+right`, `top:left`, ...) is `block`; everything else inside a slide is `field`.\n\n**The patch** applies removals (highest index first), then moves, then insertions in ascending order, then edits inside matched elements at their final positions, so every path is valid when its operation runs.\n\n```text\n$ opf diff before.opf.json after.opf.json\n7 changes (slides: 1 added, 1 removed, 1 moved, 2 modified; metadata: 1; design: 1)\n\nMetadata\n  ~ name  "Deck" -> "Renamed"\n\nDesign\n  ~ design.theme  "bold" -> "minimal"\n\nSlides\n  ~ slide #1 "End" (id end)\n      + blocks[1]  chart\n  ~ slide #2 "Welcome" (id intro) (moved from #1)\n      ~ title  "Intro" -> "Welcome"\n  + slide #3 "New" (id new)\n  - slide #2 "Old" (id old)\n```\n\nCLI: `opf diff <a|-> <b|-> [--format text|json|patch] [--exit-code] [--threshold <0-1>]`. `--format json` prints `{equal, summary, slides, changes, patch}`; `--format patch` prints only the patch (feed it to `opf edit --patch`). Exit 0 unless `--exit-code` is given and the documents differ (then 1); usage and I/O errors exit 2. `-` reads one side from stdin.\n\n## Merge\n\n```ts\nimport { merge } from "@openpresentation/opf/diff";\n\nconst { merged, conflicts, clean, applied } = merge(base, ours, theirs, { prefer: "ours" });\n```\n\nChanges in different places merge automatically; the same change on both sides is applied once. Arrays merge element by element with the diff matcher:\n\n- insertions from both sides are kept (ours first where both inserted at the same position); an identical insertion, or the same `id` inserted twice, appears once (same `id` with different content merges field by field);\n- a deletion of an untouched element wins; a deletion against an edit is a conflict;\n- a move on one side is applied on top of the other side\'s edits; the same move on both sides agrees; different moves of the same element conflict.\n\n**Conflicts are never silent.** Each is an object with `kind` (`modify-modify`, `modify-delete`, `delete-modify`, `add-add`, `move-move`), `path` (JSON Pointer in the merged document), `base`, `ours` and `theirs` values (absent when that side deleted the value; `deletedBy` names the deleting side), `resolution` (which side the merged document took), the `slide` it is inside, and a `message`. The merged document always holds one side\'s value at a conflict (`prefer`, default `ours`), and the conflict keeps the other side\'s value, so neither side is dropped without a record. `clean` is `true` only when there are no conflicts. `applied` counts the places taken from only one side or identical on both.\n\nThe merge result is not schema-validated by the library; `opf merge` validates it before writing, because two valid documents can merge into an invalid one (for example duplicate ids).\n\nCLI: `opf merge <base> <ours> <theirs> [--output <file|-> | --in-place] [--force] [--prefer ours|theirs] [--report <file>] [--dry-run] [--threshold <0-1>] [--fail-on <level>]`. With conflicts and no `--prefer`, nothing is written, the conflict report goes to stderr as JSON and the exit code is 1. With `--prefer`, the chosen side\'s value is written, the report lists every conflict, and the exit code is 0. `--report <file>` saves the `{clean, conflicts, applied}` summary. `--in-place` rewrites the *ours* file (like `git merge-file`) with the same hash guard as `opf edit`. The usual output rules apply: stdout without an output option, `--force` to replace a file.\n\n## Format\n\n```ts\nimport { format, sortPresentationKeys, isFormatted } from "@openpresentation/opf/format";\n\nconst text = format(sourceTextOrDocument);\n```\n\n- **Key order** follows the property declaration order of the OPF schema at every depth (through `$ref`, `oneOf`, `anyOf`, `allOf` and `then`/`else`): `$schema`, `name`, `description`, ..., `design`, `variables`, `narrative`, `slides`, `assets`, `catalogs`, `extensions` at the root, `id`, `layout`, `title`, ... in a slide. Keys the schema does not declare (extensions, catalog records, custom colours, unknown fields) follow the declared ones in their original relative order, so formatting never reorders user data that has no canonical order. Array order and every value are unchanged.\n- **Layout** is two-space indentation (`indent` 0 to 8), LF line endings (`eol: "crlf"` for Windows checkouts that use `core.autocrlf`), no BOM, one trailing newline. Formatting is idempotent.\n- It does not validate: any JSON document can be formatted, and formatting never changes validity.\n\nCLI: `opf format <file|->... [--check | --in-place | --output <file|->] [--indent <0-8>] [--eol lf|crlf|preserve]`. One file with no mode prints the canonical text to stdout. `--check` prints `{checked, formatted, unformatted}` and exits 1 if any file would change (use it in CI); `--in-place` rewrites only changed files atomically; several files need `--check` or `--in-place`. `--eol preserve` keeps each file\'s own line endings.\n\n## What this does not do\n\n- It is structural, not visual: a diff of two decks says nothing about whether either composes, overflows or exports well.\n- Merge treats text as a value: two edits to different words of the same string are a conflict, not a text merge.\n- Similarity matching is a heuristic with a documented threshold. When it matters, give slides stable ids; ids are always trusted over content.\n'

-    "markdown": "# Developer quickstart\n\nA new developer can install the **published** OPF packages into a fresh Node 24\nproject and author, validate, compose, paginate, edit with undo, preview and export\na representative deck. No account, model call, or sibling repository checkout\nis required.\n\nThis is a documented supported subset, not universal Office or all-feature\nparity. See the [compatibility matrix](compatibility-matrix.md) for what is\nshipped versus deferred.\n\n## Versions\n\nPin the coordinated set from `release-plan.json` (currently core **0.16.0**,\nCLI **0.16.0**, renderer **0.16.0**, PPTX **0.16.0**, editor **0.16.0**). All of these packages declare\n`engines.node: >=22`; Node 24 is the toolchain this quickstart is verified on.\n\n```sh\nnode -v   # 24.x (verified); 22 and later are declared\nnpm install @openpresentation/opf@0.16.0 \\\n  @openpresentation/opf-render@0.16.0 \\\n  @openpresentation/opf-editor@0.16.0 \\\n  @openpresentation/opf-pptx@0.16.1 \\\n  @openpresentation/cli@0.16.0\n# opf-render 0.16 keeps its converters and font packages as optional peers: install the ones you use\n# (here the base font pack, PNG and PDF; add @expo-google-fonts/* office or script packs as needed)\nnpm install @expo-google-fonts/roboto@0.4.3 @expo-google-fonts/roboto-mono@0.4.2 \\\n  @resvg/resvg-js@^2.6.2 pdf-lib@^1.17.1 sharp@^0.35.5\n```\n\nA missing converter or font package is a typed error (`converter-missing`, `font-resource-unavailable`) whose message\nnames the `npm install` command, so a host that only previews SVG in a browser installs none of them.\n\nCopy [`docs/quickstart/developer-quickstart.opf.json`](quickstart/developer-quickstart.opf.json)\ninto that project as `deck.opf.json`. That file is a docs fixture, not one of\nthe 126 decks in `@openpresentation/opf/examples`. Verify the install came from the registry\n(`package-lock.json` `resolved` URLs start with `https://registry.npmjs.org/`)\nand that you did not add `file:` dependencies on this repository.\n\nThe [format card](format-card.md) describes ColorRef, named variables and the\ncurrent source contract. `opf embed` embeds the catalog records a deck uses for\nportable offline authoring; it does not download remote assets. Keep the\nColorRef docs fixture outside the 126-deck example/golden corpus in this update.\n\n## The short path\n\nWith core 0.17.0 and later, three calls of `@openpresentation/opf/node` cover files in an application:\n\n```js\nimport * as opf from '@openpresentation/opf/node';\n\nawait opf.convert('deck.opf.md', 'deck.pdf');            // also .pptx, .png (one per slide), .svg, .zip and the deck forms\nconst deck = await opf.open('deck.opf.md');              // .opf.md, .opf.yaml, .opf.json, or a .pptx to import\ndeck.slides.push({ title: 'Q4' });\nawait opf.save(deck, 'deck.opf.md');\n```\n\nThe CLI does the same from a shell: `opf convert deck.opf.md deck.pdf`. The sections below take the pieces one at a time.\n\n## Author and validate\n\n```sh\nnpx --no-install opf --version\nnpx --no-install opf validate deck.opf.json\nnpx --no-install opf validate deck.opf.json --format text\n```\n\nThe CLI depends on core, which holds the schema, catalogs and the checker. Validation never renders; `opf render`, `opf export` and\n`opf import` produce and read files through the optional peers `@openpresentation/opf-render` and\n`@openpresentation/opf-pptx` (see [the CLI reference](cli.md)).\n`opf --version` reports the CLI and the installed core. Successful validation is not\nvisual verification.\n\nLibrary equivalents:\n\n```js\nimport { readFile } from 'node:fs/promises';\nimport { validate } from '@openpresentation/opf';\n\nconst source = await readFile('deck.opf.json', 'utf8');\nconst document = JSON.parse(source);\nconsole.log(validate(document));   // a parsed document: findings of every category\nconsole.log(validate(source));     // JSON text: the same findings with line and column\n```\n\n## Offline fonts, composition, pagination\n\n```js\nimport { paginate, resolveSlideContext } from '@openpresentation/opf';\nimport { composeSlide } from '@openpresentation/opf/composition';\nimport { loadFonts } from '@openpresentation/opf-render/fonts-node';\n\nconst fonts = await loadFonts({ pack: 'base' });\nconst { slide, options } = resolveSlideContext(document, 0, { fonts });\nconst geometry = composeSlide(slide, options);\nconst { presentation, pages } = paginate(document, { fonts });\n```\n\n`loadFonts({ pack: 'base' })` loads the bundled Roboto faces for\n`design.fontScheme: 'roboto'`. It returns the fonts handle: every deck-level\nverb (`paginate`, `renderSvg`, `svgToPng`, `svgToPdf`, `toPptx`) takes it as\n`{ fonts }` and reads what it needs from it (the `textMeasurement`, the faces\nto embed, the font files). `resolveSlideContext(document, index, { fonts, catalogs })` resolves\none slide's layout, canvas, theme and font families (slide design, then deck\ndesign, then theme, then the engine default font scheme) into the options `composeSlide`\ntakes, so you never look up a font scheme yourself; a reference that resolves\nnowhere comes back as an `unresolved-reference` diagnostic. It also returns\n`slide`: the slide with `{{slide.number}}`, `{{slide.section}}` and\n`{{deck.slideCount}}` substituted for `options.slideNumber` and\n`options.slideCount`; compose and draw that slide. `paginate`\ndoes the same for every slide. The helper does not install system fonts or\nchange the authored scheme. Reuse the same `fonts` for SVG preview and PPTX\nexport.\n\nShared headers and footers use `furniture-flow-v2`. Body content stays between\n`geometry.furniture.headerBottom` and `geometry.furniture.footerTop`. A zone\nwrites generated values as variables in its `text`, such as\n`\"{{slide.number}} / {{deck.slideCount}}\"` or `\"{{organization.name}}\"`.\n\nPagination returns a new presentation plus source mappings. It preserves\nauthored text, whitespace and reading order; it does not drop overflowed\ncontent.\n\n```sh\nnpx --no-install opf paginate deck.opf.json paginated.opf.json\n```\n\n## Edit with undo\n\n```js\nimport { createEditorSession } from '@openpresentation/opf-editor';\n\nconst editor = createEditorSession(document, { rejectInvalid: true });\nconst original = editor.presentation.slides[0].title;\neditor.set('slides.0.title', 'Edited title');\neditor.undo();\n// original title, including whitespace, is restored\n```\n\nThe CLI can apply JSON Patch edits (`opf edit`) but has no persistent undo\nhistory. Use the editor session or version control for undo.\n\n## Preview and export\n\n`@openpresentation/opf/node` (core 0.17.0 and later) reads and writes files with the bundled fonts and loads the render and\nPPTX engines you installed:\n\n```js\nimport * as opf from '@openpresentation/opf/node';\n\nawait opf.convert('deck.opf.json', 'deck.pdf');\nawait opf.convert('deck.opf.json', 'slides/deck.png', { scale: 2 });   // slides/deck-001.png, -002, ...\nawait opf.convert('deck.opf.json', 'deck.pptx');\nconst back = await opf.open('deck.pptx');                              // PowerPoint to OPF\nconst { files } = await opf.convert(back, { format: 'svg' });          // bytes, nothing written\n```\n\n`convert` checks the deck (format and references), draws with the renderer's bundled open fonts and no system fonts,\nreads images next to the input file, never reads a clock (pass `date: 'YYYY-MM-DD'` for a date field) and writes each file\natomically. A missing engine throws `OPFExportError` with code `peer-not-installed` and the install command. The options and\nerrors are in [OPF files in Node](node.md).\n\n### Advanced: the engines directly\n\n`convert` calls these. Use them when you need the pieces: your own fonts handle, one SVG per slide in a browser,\nor options the function does not expose.\n\n```js\nimport { renderSvg, svgToPng, svgToPdf } from '@openpresentation/opf-render';\nimport { toPptx } from '@openpresentation/opf-pptx';\n\nconst svgs = renderSvg(presentation, { fonts });   // one SVG per slide\nconst png = await svgToPng(svgs[0], { fonts });\nconst pdf = await svgToPdf(svgs, { fonts });\nconst pptx = await toPptx(presentation, { fonts });\n```\n\n`renderSvg` is the local preview of every slide (`renderSlideSvg` draws one). PNG rasterizes that SVG.\nPDF (opf-render 0.12.0 and later) converts the same SVG to **vector paths with\nselectable, searchable text** in embedded font subsets, with no second layout pass;\npass `{ mode: 'raster' }` for the image-per-slide output that renderers up to 0.11.9\nalways wrote. Pass the same fonts handle as for PNG; vector PDF never uses system\nfonts.\n`toPptx` is the supported editable PowerPoint export from OPF. Shared\nheaders/footers in that file are tagged slide shapes (`OPF_FURNITURE_V1`), not\nnative Office Header/Footer objects (`p:hf` / notes master). Opening the file\nin Microsoft PowerPoint, compiling furniture into real Header/Footer objects,\nand round-tripping native fidelity is\n[issue 87](https://github.com/OpenPresentation/opf/issues/87), not this\nquickstart.\n\nBrowser preview uses the same SVG core plus\n`@openpresentation/opf-render/fonts-browser` and\n`@openpresentation/opf-editor/canvas`. Load the same font bytes the Node helper\nresolved. Do not fetch fonts from the network at render time.\n\n## Prove it\n\nFrom this repository, after a normal `pnpm install`:\n\n```sh\nnode scripts/test-developer-quickstart.mjs\n```\n\nThat script creates an empty temp project, installs the published versions from\nthe npm registry, copies this example, and asserts validate, offline\nfonts, furniture composition, pagination, undo, SVG, PNG, PDF and PPTX.\nIt fails if any package is a `file:` or workspace link.\n\n## What this does not cover\n\n- Renderer native-width residuals:\n  [opf-render#24](https://github.com/OpenPresentation/opf-render/issues/24)\n- Native PowerPoint open/edit/save/reopen and real Office Header/Footer (`p:hf`):\n  [opf#87](https://github.com/OpenPresentation/opf/issues/87)\n- Remaining GitHub [issue 88](https://github.com/OpenPresentation/opf/issues/88)\n  checklist (the Inspector overlay/json-options, gallery Playground+Editor\n  links, and Header & footer playground example are already live on\n  production; the issue stays open)\n- Archived font-shaping prototypes (not in the published runtime)\n- PDF/UA or PDF/A conformance, general SVG diagrams, and Mermaid\n"

-    "markdown": "# OPF Release Process\n\nUse Node 24 (`24.x`) for all future source, candidate and registry verification.\nThe packages declare the open-ended `engines.node` `>=22` (RR-20, tested on Node 22, 24 and 26 by the `node-range`\nCI jobs, which run in the merge queue and on pull requests labelled `full-ci`); a closed range such as `24.x` makes npm on any other Node silently install an older release, and\n`pnpm check:engines-range` fails on one, including in a lockfile that pins a release made after the fix.\nThe next releases must document the [Node 24 migration](migrations/node24.md)\nand use new versions. Historical dual-runtime release records remain unchanged.\n\nThis document is the release runbook for the public JavaScript package,\n[`@openpresentation/opf`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@openpresentation/opf).\n\nThe canonical release path is:\n\n1. Merge the release commit to `main`.\n2. Push a semver tag whose name matches the package version.\n3. Let GitHub Actions publish to npm through npm trusted publishing.\n4. Verify npm and the automatically generated GitHub release notes.\n\n## Agent authorization and coordinated release order\n\nThe owner authorized agents to prepare and publish npm releases on 2026-09-29\nand for future releases whenever a release is required. This does not waive any\ngate: a release still needs a merged release-prep PR, green required checks and\nthe verification below. Agents keep publishing on the trusted-publishing\nworkflows (GitHub Actions OIDC with `--provenance`); a local `npm publish` is a\nfallback only when a workflow cannot run, and it loses the provenance\nattestation that every previous version carries.\n\nThe engine packages depend on each other, so publish in this order and wait for\neach version to appear on the registry before starting the next:\n\n1. `@openpresentation/opf` (this repository, `opf-vX.Y.Z` tag).\n2. `@openpresentation/opf-render` (`opf-render-vX.Y.Z` tag) and\n   `@openpresentation/opf-pptx` (`opf-pptx-vX.Y.Z` tag). Both depend on core; PPTX\n   also devDepends on the renderer, so publish the renderer first.\n3. `@openpresentation/opf-editor` (`opf-editor-vX.Y.Z` tag), which depends on core\n   and peers/devDepends on the renderer and PPTX.\n\nEach sibling's release-prep PR raises its dependency floors to the just-published\nversions. Its lockfile can only be refreshed after the upstream version exists on\nnpm (`npm install --package-lock-only`), so merge sibling release PRs only after\nthe upstream publish. `@openpresentation/cli` depends on core (a regular dependency; its floor is raised by the release-prep PR like the others, the commands run that core's `/node` engine) and is released\nseparately by `cli-publish.yml` (`cli-vX.Y.Z`) when a CLI release is needed.\n\nThe CLI release gate includes the installed-package regression `packages/cli/test/installed-regression.mjs` (RR-59, [opf#476](https://github.com/OpenPresentation/opf/issues/476)). It drives the installed `opf` binary beside the published opf-render and opf-pptx, the render font packages and the Noto JP and SC script packages, with no network after the install (a preload refuses every connection and fetch, and a local server that the image URLs point at counts zero requests): `opf render --format svg` embeds `Noto Sans JP` 400 and 700 for a `ja-JP` deck, nothing under `--svg-fonts none` and no CJK face for a Latin-only deck; `opf export --format pptx` of a deck with an `https:` content image (an image block and a quote photo) exits 0 with a `pptx/unresolved-asset` warning at the slide path and the placeholder, exits 1 and writes no file under `--fail-on warning`, and exports a native picture for an embedded or local PNG under `--fail-on warning`. It runs in `pnpm test:cli:packed:peers` (the candidate CLI and core tarballs; OPF CI, the Windows and engines-range CLI jobs, and `cli-publish.yml` before `npm publish`) and in `pnpm test:registry-ecosystem` (the published set of `release-plan.json`, from plan 0.16).\n\nA sibling pull request that needs a core that is not on npm yet (a breaking core release and its sibling PRs, `Depends-On: OpenPresentation/opf#N`) declares it in its `package.json` as `\"opf\": { \"requiresUnreleasedCore\": \"X.Y.Z\" }` (RR-55). Its CI then skips only the packed install against published dependencies (`npm run test:packed`, with a `::notice::`) while the installed published `@openpresentation/opf` is lower than `X.Y.Z`; every linked-ecosystem step still runs. The field is for pull requests only: `release-train.mjs prep` deletes it (and refuses a field above the core of the train), and `plan` flags a release commit whose `package.json` still carries it.\n\nRelease-prep PRs contain only version bumps, changelog entries, dependency ranges\nand lockfile changes (plus current-instruction docs). The changelog entries are\nnot written by hand: every change adds a fragment `changes/<slug>.md` in its own\nPR (RR-46, [changes/README.md](../changes/README.md)), and the release-prep PR\nruns the assembler, which moves the fragments into the new release section of\n`CHANGELOG.md` and deletes them. Each sibling repository has the same\n`changes/` directory and script:\n\n```sh\n# core (packages are named in each fragment: opf = CHANGELOG.md, cli = packages/cli/CHANGELOG.md)\nnode scripts/changelog-fragments.mjs assemble --version X.Y.Z --package opf --date YYYY-MM-DD\nnode scripts/changelog-fragments.mjs assemble --version A.B.C --package cli   # only when the CLI is released\n# opf-render, opf-pptx, opf-editor\nnode scripts/changelog-fragments.mjs assemble --version X.Y.Z --date YYYY-MM-DD [--summary \"Patch release: ...\"]\n```\n\nUse `--dry-run` to preview, and check that no `changes/*.md` other than\n`README.md` remains for the released package before opening the PR. After the whole set is on\nthe registry, a follow-up docs change updates `release-plan.json`, the\ncompatibility matrix and the quickstart to the published set, and the gallery\nconsumer dependencies are bumped.\n\n## Release train (scripted, RR-51)\n\n`scripts/release-train.mjs` runs the coordinated release above in lockstep order.

Do not release core alone and leave a sibling on the older floor.\n\nThe parity harness must always run with `--import <opf>/scripts/register-local-opf.mjs` (as `run.ps1` does) so every engine shares one core.\n\n## Release Preconditions\n\nBefore tagging, confirm that the release commit on `main` already contains:\n\n- `packages/javascript/package.json` with the intended version.\n- `CHANGELOG.md` with the matching release section (assembled from `changes/`, see above).\n- Passing `OPF CI` on the release commit.\n\nThe publish workflow validates the tag name against\n`packages/javascript/package.json`, so the tag must point at the release commit.\n\n## Tag And Publish\n\nUse the `opf-vX.Y.Z` tag form for the package release:\n\n```sh\ngit checkout main\ngit pull origin main\ngrep '\"version\"' packages/javascript/package.json\ngit tag opf-vX.Y.Z\ngit push origin opf-vX.Y.Z\n```\n\nFor example, version `0.3.0` used:\n\n```sh\ngit tag opf-v0.3.0\ngit push origin opf-v0.3.0\n```\n\nPushing the tag triggers `.github/workflows/npm-publish.yml`. The workflow:\n\n- runs on tags matching `opf-v*` or `@openpresentation/opf@v*`\n- installs dependencies with pnpm on Node 24\n- verifies the tag matches `packages/javascript/package.json`\n- runs typecheck and tests\n- runs the npm package dry-run check\n- publishes from `packages/javascript` with `npm publish --access public --provenance`\n\nDo not rerun a successful publish for the same version. npm package versions are\nimmutable; a second publish for an already-published version should fail.\n\n## Trusted Publishing\n\nnpm publishing is configured to use GitHub Actions OIDC trusted publishing, not\na long-lived npm token.\n\nExpected npm package trusted-publisher settings:\n\n| Setting | Value |\n|---|---|\n| Package | `@openpresentation/opf` |\n| Publisher | GitHub Actions |\n| Organization/repository | `OpenPresentation/opf` |\n| Workflow filename | `npm-publish.yml` |\n| Environment | empty, unless the workflow is later moved behind a GitHub Environment |\n| Permission | `npm publish` |\n\nExpected workflow settings:\n\n```yaml\npermissions:\n  contents: read\n  id-token: write\n```\n\nThe publish step should not set `NODE_AUTH_TOKEN`:\n\n```yaml\n- name: Publish to npm\n  working-directory: packages/javascript\n  run: npm publish --access public\n```\n\nIf a future release fails with npm authentication errors, check the npm\ntrusted-publisher settings first. Only use an `NPM_TOKEN` repository secret as a\ntemporary fallback, and remove or revoke it once OIDC publishing works again.\n\n## Verify The Release\n\n`node scripts/release-train.mjs verify <package>@X.Y.Z` runs every registry check of this section and the provenance\nchecks (see \"Release train\" above). By hand, after the workflow completes, verify npm:\n\n```sh\nnpm view @openpresentation/opf version\n```\n\nThe output should equal the package version that was tagged.\n\nSpot-check the validator API from a clean project or temporary directory:\n\n```sh\nnpm install @openpresentation/opf@X.Y.Z\nnode --input-type=module -e \"import {validate} from '@openpresentation/opf'; console.log(validate({name:'t', narrative:'not-a-real-id', slides:[{title:'t'}]}, {only:['format','references']}).findings)\"\n```\n\nThe expected result is one `opf/unresolved-reference` warning for the narrative (no catalog is registered).\n\n## GitHub Release Notes\n\nThe core tag workflow creates a GitHub Release from the matching changelog section after publishing. Verify that release after npm is verified. If release creation failed, create the missing release for the existing tag:\n\n```sh\ngh release create opf-vX.Y.Z \\\n  --repo OpenPresentation/opf \\\n  --title '@openpresentation/opf X.Y.Z' \\\n  --notes-file /path/to/release-notes.md\n```\n\nUse the matching `## X.Y.Z` section from `CHANGELOG.md` as the release notes.\n\n## Troubleshooting\n\nIf the tag/version check fails, the tag does not point at the release commit or\nthe tag name does not match `packages/javascript/package.json`. Delete the bad\nlocal and remote tag, fetch `main`, and tag the correct commit:\n\n```sh\ngit push origin :refs/tags/opf-vX.Y.Z\ngit tag -d opf-vX.Y.Z\ngit checkout main\ngit pull origin main\ngit tag opf-vX.Y.Z\ngit push origin opf-vX.Y.Z\n```\n\nIf tests fail, fix the code on `main`, create a new release commit, and move the\ntag only if npm has not already published that version.\n\nIf npm publish fails with `ENEEDAUTH`, confirm:\n\n- npm has a trusted publisher for `OpenPresentation/opf`\n- the trusted publisher uses workflow filename `npm-publish.yml`\n- `.github/workflows/npm-publish.yml` has `id-token: write`\n- the publish job is running on a modern Node/npm toolchain\n\nIf npm publish fails after the version is already present on npm, do not retry\nthe same publish. Verify the package and treat the failure as a duplicate\npublish attempt.\n"
+    "markdown": "# OPF Release Process\n\nUse Node 24 (`24.x`) for all future source, candidate and registry verification.\nThe packages declare the open-ended `engines.node` `>=22` (RR-20, tested on Node 22, 24 and 26 by the `node-range`\nCI jobs, which run in the merge queue and on pull requests labelled `full-ci`); a closed range such as `24.x` makes npm on any other Node silently install an older release, and\n`pnpm check:engines-range` fails on one, including in a lockfile that pins a release made after the fix.\nThe next releases must document the [Node 24 migration](migrations/node24.md)\nand use new versions. Historical dual-runtime release records remain unchanged.\n\nThis document is the release runbook for the public JavaScript package,\n[`@openpresentation/opf`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@openpresentation/opf).\n\nThe canonical release path is:\n\n1. Merge the release commit to `main`.\n2. Push a semver tag whose name matches the package version.\n3. Let GitHub Actions publish to npm through npm trusted publishing.\n4. Verify npm and the automatically generated GitHub release notes.\n\n## Agent authorization and coordinated release order\n\nThe owner authorized agents to prepare and publish npm releases on 2026-09-29\nand for future releases whenever a release is required. This does not waive any\ngate: a release still needs a merged release-prep PR, green required checks and\nthe verification below. Agents keep publishing on the trusted-publishing\nworkflows (GitHub Actions OIDC with `--provenance`); a local `npm publish` is a\nfallback only when a workflow cannot run, and it loses the provenance\nattestation that every previous version carries.\n\nThe engine packages depend on each other, so publish in this order and wait for\neach version to appear on the registry before starting the next:\n\n1. `@openpresentation/opf` (this repository, `opf-vX.Y.Z` tag).\n2. `@openpresentation/opf-render` (`opf-render-vX.Y.Z` tag) and\n   `@openpresentation/opf-pptx` (`opf-pptx-vX.Y.Z` tag). Both depend on core; PPTX\n   also devDepends on the renderer, so publish the renderer first.\n3. `@openpresentation/opf-editor` (`opf-editor-vX.Y.Z` tag), which depends on core\n   and peers/devDepends on the renderer and PPTX.\n\nEach sibling's release-prep PR raises its dependency floors to the just-published\nversions. Its lockfile can only be refreshed after the upstream version exists on\nnpm (`npm install --package-lock-only`), so merge sibling release PRs only after\nthe upstream publish. `@openpresentation/cli` depends on core (a regular dependency; its floor is raised by the release-prep PR like the others, the commands run that core's Node engine) and is released\nseparately by `cli-publish.yml` (`cli-vX.Y.Z`) when a CLI release is needed.\n\nThe CLI release gate includes the installed-package regression `packages/cli/test/installed-regression.mjs` (RR-59, [opf#476](https://github.com/OpenPresentation/opf/issues/476)). It drives the installed `opf` binary beside the published opf-render and opf-pptx, the render font packages and the Noto JP and SC script packages, with no network after the install (a preload refuses every connection and fetch, and a local server that the image URLs point at counts zero requests): `opf convert deck.opf.json deck.svg` embeds `Noto Sans JP` 400 and 700 for a `ja-JP` deck, nothing under `--text system` and no CJK face for a Latin-only deck; `opf convert deck.opf.json deck.pptx` of a deck with an `https:` content image (an image block and a quote photo) exits 0 with a `pptx/unresolved-asset` warning at the slide path and the placeholder, exits 1 and writes no file under `--fail-on warning`, and exports a native picture for an embedded or local PNG under `--fail-on warning`. It runs in `pnpm test:cli:packed:peers` (the candidate CLI and core tarballs; OPF CI, the Windows and engines-range CLI jobs, and `cli-publish.yml` before `npm publish`) and in `pnpm test:registry-ecosystem` (the published set of `release-plan.json`, from plan 0.16).\n\nA sibling pull request that needs a core that is not on npm yet (a breaking core release and its sibling PRs, `Depends-On: OpenPresentation/opf#N`) declares it in its `package.json` as `\"opf\": { \"requiresUnreleasedCore\": \"X.Y.Z\" }` (RR-55). Its CI then skips only the packed install against published dependencies (`npm run test:packed`, with a `::notice::`) while the installed published `@openpresentation/opf` is lower than `X.Y.Z`; every linked-ecosystem step still runs. The field is for pull requests only: `release-train.mjs prep` deletes it (and refuses a field above the core of the train), and `plan` flags a release commit whose `package.json` still carries it.\n\nRelease-prep PRs contain only version bumps, changelog entries, dependency ranges\nand lockfile changes (plus current-instruction docs). The changelog entries are\nnot written by hand: every change adds a fragment `changes/<slug>.md` in its own\nPR (RR-46, [changes/README.md](../changes/README.md)), and the release-prep PR\nruns the assembler, which moves the fragments into the new release section of\n`CHANGELOG.md` and deletes them. Each sibling repository has the same\n`changes/` directory and script:\n\n```sh\n# core (packages are named in each fragment: opf = CHANGELOG.md, cli = packages/cli/CHANGELOG.md)\nnode scripts/changelog-fragments.mjs assemble --version X.Y.Z --package opf --date YYYY-MM-DD\nnode scripts/changelog-fragments.mjs assemble --version A.B.C --package cli   # only when the CLI is released\n# opf-render, opf-pptx, opf-editor\nnode scripts/changelog-fragments.mjs assemble --version X.Y.Z --date YYYY-MM-DD [--summary \"Patch release: ...\"]\n```\n\nUse `--dry-run` to preview, and check that no `changes/*.md` other than\n`README.md` remains for the released package before opening the PR. After the whole set is on\nthe registry, a follow-up docs change updates `release-plan.json`, the\ncompatibility matrix and the quickstart to the published set, and the gallery\nconsumer dependencies are bumped.\n\n## Release train (scripted, RR-51)\n\n`scripts/release-train.mjs` runs the coordinated release above in lockstep order. It is run by the supervisor with\ntheir own `gh` login (or `GH_TOKEN`); every command is a dry run unless `--execute` is given. It only reads, opens\nrelease-prep pull requests and creates tags: it never merges a pull request and never publishes. Each package is still\npublished by its own repository's trusted-publishing workflow (OIDC, `--provenance`) when its tag appears.\n\nName the versions of the train, any subset: `--core X.Y.Z --render X.Y.Z --pptx X.Y.Z --editor X.Y.Z --cli X.Y.Z`.\nThe order is always core, then opf-render, then opf-pptx, then opf-editor and the CLI.\n\n```sh\n# 1.

Do not release core alone and leave a sibling on the older floor.\n\nThe parity harness must always run with `--import <opf>/scripts/register-local-opf.mjs` (as `run.ps1` does) so every engine shares one core.\n\n## Release Preconditions\n\nBefore tagging, confirm that the release commit on `main` already contains:\n\n- `packages/javascript/package.json` with the intended version.\n- `CHANGELOG.md` with the matching release section (assembled from `changes/`, see above).\n- Passing `OPF CI` on the release commit.\n\nThe publish workflow validates the tag name against\n`packages/javascript/package.json`, so the tag must point at the release commit.\n\n## Tag And Publish\n\nUse the `opf-vX.Y.Z` tag form for the package release:\n\n```sh\ngit checkout main\ngit pull origin main\ngrep '\"version\"' packages/javascript/package.json\ngit tag opf-vX.Y.Z\ngit push origin opf-vX.Y.Z\n```\n\nFor example, version `0.3.0` used:\n\n```sh\ngit tag opf-v0.3.0\ngit push origin opf-v0.3.0\n```\n\nPushing the tag triggers `.github/workflows/npm-publish.yml`. The workflow:\n\n- runs on tags matching `opf-v*` or `@openpresentation/opf@v*`\n- installs dependencies with pnpm on Node 24\n- verifies the tag matches `packages/javascript/package.json`\n- runs typecheck and tests\n- runs the npm package dry-run check\n- publishes from `packages/javascript` with `npm publish --access public --provenance`\n\nDo not rerun a successful publish for the same version. npm package versions are\nimmutable; a second publish for an already-published version should fail.\n\n## Trusted Publishing\n\nnpm publishing is configured to use GitHub Actions OIDC trusted publishing, not\na long-lived npm token.\n\nExpected npm package trusted-publisher settings:\n\n| Setting | Value |\n|---|---|\n| Package | `@openpresentation/opf` |\n| Publisher | GitHub Actions |\n| Organization/repository | `OpenPresentation/opf` |\n| Workflow filename | `npm-publish.yml` |\n| Environment | empty, unless the workflow is later moved behind a GitHub Environment |\n| Permission | `npm publish` |\n\nExpected workflow settings:\n\n```yaml\npermissions:\n  contents: read\n  id-token: write\n```\n\nThe publish step should not set `NODE_AUTH_TOKEN`:\n\n```yaml\n- name: Publish to npm\n  working-directory: packages/javascript\n  run: npm publish --access public\n```\n\nIf a future release fails with npm authentication errors, check the npm\ntrusted-publisher settings first. Only use an `NPM_TOKEN` repository secret as a\ntemporary fallback, and remove or revoke it once OIDC publishing works again.\n\n## Verify The Release\n\n`node scripts/release-train.mjs verify <package>@X.Y.Z` runs every registry check of this section and the provenance\nchecks (see \"Release train\" above). By hand, after the workflow completes, verify npm:\n\n```sh\nnpm view @openpresentation/opf version\n```\n\nThe output should equal the package version that was tagged.\n\nSpot-check the validator API from a clean project or temporary directory:\n\n```sh\nnpm install @openpresentation/opf@X.Y.Z\nnode --input-type=module -e \"import {validate} from '@openpresentation/opf'; console.log(validate({name:'t', narrative:'not-a-real-id', slides:[{title:'t'}]}, {only:['format','references']}).findings)\"\n```\n\nThe expected result is one `opf/unresolved-reference` warning for the narrative (no catalog is registered).\n\n## GitHub Release Notes\n\nThe core tag workflow creates a GitHub Release from the matching changelog section after publishing. Verify that release after npm is verified. If release creation failed, create the missing release for the existing tag:\n\n```sh\ngh release create opf-vX.Y.Z \\\n  --repo OpenPresentation/opf \\\n  --title '@openpresentation/opf X.Y.Z' \\\n  --notes-file /path/to/release-notes.md\n```\n\nUse the matching `## X.Y.Z` section from `CHANGELOG.md` as the release notes.\n\n## Troubleshooting\n\nIf the tag/version check fails, the tag does not point at the release commit or\nthe tag name does not match `packages/javascript/package.json`. Delete the bad\nlocal and remote tag, fetch `main`, and tag the correct commit:\n\n```sh\ngit push origin :refs/tags/opf-vX.Y.Z\ngit tag -d opf-vX.Y.Z\ngit checkout main\ngit pull origin main\ngit tag opf-vX.Y.Z\ngit push origin opf-vX.Y.Z\n```\n\nIf tests fail, fix the code on `main`, create a new release commit, and move the\ntag only if npm has not already published that version.\n\nIf npm publish fails with `ENEEDAUTH`, confirm:\n\n- npm has a trusted publisher for `OpenPresentation/opf`\n- the trusted publisher uses workflow filename `npm-publish.yml`\n- `.github/workflows/npm-publish.yml` has `id-token: write`\n- the publish job is running on a modern Node/npm toolchain\n\nIf npm publish fails after the version is already present on npm, do not retry\nthe same publish. Verify the package and treat the failure as a duplicate\npublish attempt.\n"

-    "markdown": '# Rich text measurement and output\n\nOPF text arrays preserve run formatting in the document. Text payloads now use a shared mixed-style layout for composition, SVG preview, and native PPTX export. Plain string text keeps its existing layout path.\n\nThe shared fit accounts for each run\'s font family, weight, italic style, and requested point size. Run point sizes are converted to pixels at 96 DPI; default text sizes and composition minimum sizes remain canvas-relative. Fitting can shrink the run sizes together, preserving their relative sizes. Superscripts and subscripts use smaller glyphs and explicit baseline offsets. Line height accounts for the largest ascent/descent. Long tokens wrap at grapheme boundaries; spaces and explicit empty lines are retained.\n\nSVG displays bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, color, font family, size, superscript, subscript, and HTTP(S)/mailto hyperlinks. Other link schemes remain in the OPF source but are not emitted as active links. Use the same loaded font files and measurement provider for SVG and PPTX.\n\nNative PPTX output preserves these run styles and shared wrapping. Each fitted line is an editable text box, which retains measured vertical placement but is not a single continuous PowerPoint paragraph. Arbitrary PPTX import is still not a lossless rich-text round trip. Visual equality across browser and PowerPoint is not established by XML formatting checks.\n\nThe canvas supports native SVG text selection with a formatting toolbar for bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, color, font family, point size, links, and scripts. Double-click a rich text block (or focus it and press Enter) to select its full contents. For a plain text payload, start an inline edit and choose **Format text**. **Selected text** and **Replace text** replace the selected range; **Edit runs** opens structured controls. Each action validates and creates one undo step. A continuous mixed-style typing caret and IME handling remain open work; selection and formatting currently use the rendered SVG itself. List entries and descriptions use the same formatting controls at their own source paths. Complex-script shaping, bidi layout, and font-feature parity remain additional work.\n\n## Inline code and run language\n\nA run with `code: true` is an inline code span. It is set in the design\'s code font (the font scheme\'s `code` family, else Roboto Mono) unless the run names its own `fontFamily`. Only the font changes: a PPTX run cannot carry a background, so neither engine draws one. Composition measures the run in the code font (`RichTextOptions.codeFontFamily`, `TableLayoutOptions.codeFontFamily`; `composeSlide` passes `fonts.code`). Markdown backticks read and write code runs (see [Markdown](markdown.md)).\n\nA run with `lang` (a BCP-47 tag such as `fr-FR` or `ja-JP`) overrides the deck language for that run. It reaches the layout as `style.lang` on the run\'s fragments, the preview writes it as the `lang` of the run\'s text, and PPTX export writes `a:rPr/@lang` (with the run\'s own East Asian and complex-script theme fonts for that language). PPTX import reads `lang` back only when it differs from the deck language. Without `lang` a run follows the deck language.\n\n```js\nimport {fitRichText} from \'@openpresentation/opf/composition\';\nconst fit = fitRichText(\n  [\'A \', {text:\'larger word\', fontSize:28, bold:true}],\n  {x:0,y:0,width:400,height:200},\n  25, 16,\n  {style:{fontFamily:\'Roboto\',fontWeight:400},textMeasurement},\n);\n// textMeasurement is the host\'s loaded-font measurement provider.\n// richLines contains positioned fragments, resolved styles, and baselines.\n```\n\nVerification: `node packages/javascript/test/rich-text.mjs`, composition/pagination regressions, and `pnpm test:rich-text`. The latter produces SVG, OPF, and PPTX specimens under `artifacts/rich-text/`. The SVG specimen has been visually inspected in the browser; PPTX verification currently inspects native run XML, not a PowerPoint raster comparison.\n\n## Rich headings and quotes\n\n`title`, `subtitle`, `tag` and `quote.text` accept a string or `TextRun[]` (FA-10), with the same `TextRun` definition as body text, including `color` (a hex value, scheme slot or role, or `var:<id>`), links, `superscript`/`subscript`, `cite` and `footnote`. A string keeps exactly the layout it always had.\n\n- **Composition.** A `TextRun[]` heading fits through the same rich-text layouter as body text (`composeSlide` reports a `RichTextFit` with `richLines` on the item), with the heading\'s own size, shrink floor and box rules. The heading font weight (700 for the title) is the default for every run, so `bold: false` on a run is the way to lighten a word. `layoutQuote` accepts a `TextRun[]` quote text and fits the body the same way: the quotation marks join the first and last run (so run indexes and marker paths never shift) and the part reports `runs` and a `RichTextFit`; the footer (attribution and source) stays a plain string.\n- **Citations.** A marked heading run draws its marker after the run, and its note joins the slide\'s footnote area. Numbering follows reading order, with the heading group first: `tag`, `title`, `subtitle`, then regions, blocks and the root payload (see [footnotes-citations-captions.md](footnotes-citations-captions.md)).\n- **Variables.** A whole-field `var:<id>` whose text variable holds `TextRun[]` keeps the runs in a heading; `{{id}}` inside a run\'s text resolves as in body text.\n- **Markdown.** `# Title`, `## Subtitle` and the quote text keep [inline formatting](markdown.md#inline-text) both ways.\n- **Validate.** Contrast is checked for each run color; a title of runs counts as a title (`missing-slide-title`, `duplicate-slide-title` compare plain text); link text in a heading is checked like body link text.\n- **Pagination.** A long rich quote splits by text offset like body text, each piece keeping its run formatting; the heading group repeats on every page.\n\n```json\n{ "title": ["Revenue grew ", { "text": "28%", "color": "accent1", "cite": "annual-report" }], "quote": { "text": ["Cut review time by ", { "text": "40%", "bold": true }, " in a quarter"], "attribution": "VP Operations" } }\n```\n\n## Headless range editing\n\nAny agent or application can use the same immutable helpers, without a browser or AI service:\n\n```js\nimport {formatRichTextRange, replaceRichTextRange} from \'@openpresentation/opf-editor/rich-text\';\nconst path = \'slides.0.text\';\nconst next = formatRichTextRange(editor.get(path), 0, 5, {bold: true});\neditor.set(path, next, {rejectInvalid: true});\n// Other helpers: replaceRichTextRange(value, start, end, replacement), richTextContent(value).\n```\n\nOffsets are UTF-16 offsets, matching DOM Selection. They must fall on whole grapheme boundaries; ranges that split surrogate pairs, combining sequences, or emoji sequences are rejected. Formatting preserves unselected text, run metadata, and links. A `null` style removes an override, while `false` explicitly disables a boolean style. Superscript and subscript are mutually exclusive when applying a new script style. Text replacement inherits the first selected run\'s style; insertion at a boundary inherits the preceding run. Pass the result through whole-document validation before saving.\n\nThese helpers are published through `@openpresentation/opf-editor/rich-text` in editor 0.8.0. Use the current editor 0.16.0 with core 0.16.0, renderer 0.16.0 and PPTX 0.16.1 on Node 24. The [compatibility matrix](compatibility-matrix.md) separates shipped APIs from remaining canvas, font and native Office gates; package availability does not establish arbitrary PPTX round-trip or pixel parity.\n\nBrowser verification: `pnpm demo:editor`, then open `/rich-text-tests.html` on the demo server. The harness covers forward/reverse cross-run selection, shared-renderer source offsets, selection restoration after reflow, styles, links, replacement, undo, stale selection invalidation, plain-text entry, structured controls, and disposal.\n\n## Lists and descriptions\n\n`items` and `bullets` use the shared `fitList` API, including payloads explicitly marked `type: "text"` with a `bullets` field. Entries accept strings, run arrays, or objects with `text` and `level`; `items` objects also accept `description`. Rich text is measured without flattening styles. Descriptions default to 82% of the body size. Explicit run point sizes stay absolute until fitting shrinks the whole list uniformly.\n\n```js\nimport {fitList} from \'@openpresentation/opf/composition\';\nconst fit = fitList([\n  {text: [\'A \', {text: \'recommendation\', bold: true}],\n   description: [{text: \'Supporting evidence\', italic: true}], level: 1},\n], {x: 0, y: 0, width: 500, height: 300}, 25, 16,\n{style: {fontFamily: \'Roboto\', fontWeight: 400, path: \'slides.0.items\'}, textMeasurement});\n// listEntries contains text/description boxes, rich lines, markers and source paths.\n```\n\nEach nesting level adds an indent of 1.1 times the fitted body font size. Wrapped lines and descriptions align with the entry text, while character markers cycle through three shapes. Levels are not silently capped at three; excessive indentation reports overflow. Composition scoring and pagination use the measured list height, splitting only between complete entries and preserving descriptions, levels and runs.\n\nThe canvas edits strings inline and rich arrays through selection and formatting. List containers still expose structural properties for adding, removing and reordering entries. Native PPTX uses one editable box per fitted line, with a native bullet only on the first body line. Bullet font, size and color are explicit. PowerPoint paragraph levels stop at eight; deeper OPF levels retain their measured visual offset. Reimport uses heuristics for adjacent bullet boxes and is not a lossless reconstruction of descriptions or rich list structure.\n\nImage bullets and continuous rich typing remain outstanding. Native PowerPoint raster comparison is still needed before claiming pixel parity. Verification: `pnpm test:lists` writes OPF/SVG/PPTX specimens to `artifacts/lists/` and checks native paragraph validity, bullet properties, text and indent coordinates. `/list-tests.html` and its packed-package equivalent cover 19 canvas editing/undo checks.\n\n## Citations and footnotes\n\nA run that cites a source or carries an inline note gets a superscript marker directly after it (core 0.11.5 and later; RR-34): `{"text": "doubled", "cite": "gartner-2026"}` cites an entry of the deck\'s top-level `references` list (`{id, text, url?}`), `cite: ["a", "b"]` shows `1,2`, and `{"text": "grew", "footnote": "Unaudited."}` lists an inline note. Markers are numbered per deck in reading order of first use; the same reference id keeps its number, every footnote takes a new one. The slide then carries a footnote area above its footer band listing `<n> <text>` for the notes it uses, and the content area shrinks by that height. Markers are supported in `text`, `bullets` and list item runs (`cite-unsupported-location` elsewhere); an unknown id is `cite-unknown-reference`, an uncited reference the lint warning `opf/unused-reference`.\n\nIn the shared layout a marker is a fragment `{kind: "marker"}` after the run\'s last fragment with zero source length, 0.7 of the run\'s size and a raise of 0.3 of its own size, so run indexes, `data-opf-text-*` offsets and wrapping stay those of the authored runs and the exporter writes a native superscript run (`baseline="30000"`). `referencesSlide(presentation, {title})` builds an ordinary list slide of the cited references. Details and the engine mapping: [footnotes, citations and captions](footnotes-citations-captions.md).\n'

The primary organization (role 'primary', else the first one) supplies the default deck logo (unless design.logo overrides it) and the 'socials' header/footer field (its socials). Every field is also a built-in variable ('{{organization.name}}', 'var:organization.logo', 'organization.<id>.<field>'). Nothing else about an organization is drawn automatically. See d...\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `id` | yes | `string` | Stable identifier for the organization, used to reference it from Speaker.organizationId and to address it in built-in variables as 'organization.<id>.<field>'.

Only 'primary' has behavior: it selects the primary organization (deck logo, the 'socials' header/footer field, and the 'organization.<field>' built-ins). When no... |\n| `socials` | no | `ref:Socials` | Optional social media handles or URLs for the organization. The primary organization's socials render in header/footer zones that set socials: true; otherwise they are authoring metadata. |\n\n\n### Speaker\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: `id`, `name`\n- Purpose: A person presenting the deck. A speaker is drawn only through built-in variables ('{{speaker.name}}' inside any string, a header or footer text included, and 'var:speaker.photo' as a whole image field). No layout, cover or bio slide places a speaker on its own. See docs/templates-and-variables.md.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `id` | yes | `string` | Stable identifier for the speaker. Must be unique among speakers (a duplicate is a validation error).

Attribution metadata for hosts: no engine draws it or changes which organization is primary becaus... |\n| `socials` | no | `ref:Socials` | Optional social media handles or URLs for the speaker. Authoring metadata only: nothing draws speaker socials and there is no built-in variable for them (the 'socials' header/footer field draws the primary organizatio... |\n\n\n### Socials\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: Social media handles or URLs, keyed by platform. The keys are an engine vocabulary validated directly (no catalog lookup): engines link a handle with the platform's URL pattern and handle prefix (spec/reference/engine-vocabularies.json). Each value is a string, either a full URL or a platform handle (e.g., '@acme'). Brand colours and icons are catalog display metadata for authoring UIs; engines render the profile URL, not icons or brand colours. Used both for organization and speaker records.\n\n_No named properties._\n\n\n### Design\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: Visual design system applied to the presentation; individual slides may override fields via Slide.design.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `theme` | no | `ref:CatalogReference` | Theme for the deck: a themes reference, a bare id ('minimal') or 'name:id' ('acme:brand'). The theme supplies the default colour scheme, font scheme, background and dimensions; design.colorScheme, design.fontScheme, d... |\n| `colorScheme` | no | `oneOf:string / ref:ColorScheme` | Color scheme for the presentation. Accepts two forms: - A colorSchemes reference: a bare id ('cool-horizon') or 'name:id' ('acme:ocean'). - Object form: a ColorScheme with an optional 'id' reference as the base plus s... |\n| `fontScheme` | no | `oneOf:string / ref:FontScheme` | Font scheme for heading, body, accent, and code text.

String shorthand such as 'widescreen' is equivalent to { preset: 'widescreen' }. |\n| `background` | no | `oneOf:ref:BackgroundShortcut / ref:Background` | Default slide background applied across the deck unless overridden on a slide (slides.N.design.background); the resolved theme's background is the fallback. A background is the only canvas fill and never moves content... |\n| `logo` | no | `oneOf:ref:Asset / ref:LogoSet` | Deck logo assets used by covers, section dividers, headers, footers and picture bullets. A string or Asset object is the default logo source; the LogoSet object form provides light/dark, stacked, icon, and wordmark va... |\n| `watermark` | no | `oneOf:const:false / ref:Asset / ref:Watermark` | Optional decorative watermark applied across slides: an image or a text stamp, in the fixed frame and at the opacity described on Watermark. Use false to suppress an inherited watermark in slide-level design; a string... |\n| `header` | no | `oneOf:const:false / ref:HeaderFooter` | Repeated header furniture rendered outside the main slide content. Use false to suppress an inherited header. |\n| `footer` | no | `oneOf:const:false / ref:HeaderFooter` | Repeated footer furniture rendered outside the main slide content. Use false to suppress an inherited footer. |\n| `titleAlignment` | no | `enum:left \\| center \\| right` | Default horizontal alignment for title placeholders in resolved layouts.

Effective value: the slide's design, then the deck's design, then the layout record's design.contentAlignment, then the engine default. A cove... |\n| `contentBox` | no | `boolean` | Whether body/content regions are rendered inside a visible card or surface. Effective value: the slide's design, then the deck's design, then the layout record's design.contentBox, then the engine default. |\n| `contentDirection` | no | `enum:horizontal \\| vertical` | Axis along which parallel body content is arranged. Sets the root arrangement mode of blocks and root payloads when no composition.mode is set on the slide or on its layout record: 'vertical' is column, 'horizontal' i... |\n| `chartPrimary` | no | `enum:none \\| top \\| bottom \\| left \\| right` | Where the primary chart sits relative to supporting content.

Effective value: the slide's design, then the deck's design, then the layout record's design.listBullet, then 'character'. 'character' (the default) draws the glyph marker. 'i... |\n\n\n### ColorScheme\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: Color palette used by the design system. Every slot and role is a hex color ('#RGB', '#RRGGBB' or '#RRGGBBAA'); a color-scheme name or a 'var:<id>' reference is not valid here, because those resolve through the scheme. The slot fields (accent1-accent6, dark1, dark2, light1, light2, hyperlink, followedHyperlink) mirror color-scheme.schema.json (https://openpresentation.org/schema/opf-color-scheme/v1) so library records and inline OPF overrides are interchangeable on those fields. Two parallel...\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `id` | no | `ref:CatalogReference` | Colour-scheme reference (a bare id or 'name:id') resolved as the base; slot and role overrides on the surrounding ColorScheme object take precedence over the resolved scheme. |\n| `accent1` | no | `ref:HexColor` | Accent 1 color (hex). Mirrors the OOXML accent1 slot. |\n| `accent2` | no | `ref:HexColor` | Accent 2 color (hex). Mirrors the OOXML accent2 slot. |\n| `accent3` | no | `ref:HexColor` | Accent 3 color (hex).

OOXML folHlink. |\n| `primary` | no | `ref:HexColor` | Abstract role: primary brand color (hex). The engine maps this onto an OOXML accent slot when serializing. |\n| `secondary` | no | `ref:HexColor` | Abstract role: secondary brand color (hex). |\n| `accent` | no | `ref:HexColor` | Abstract role: accent color used for highlights and emphasis (hex). |\n| `background` | no | `ref:HexColor` | Abstract role: default slide background color (hex), used when the design names no single-color background (and for gradient and picture backgrounds). Overrides light1 as that default. |\n| `surface` | no | `ref:HexColor` | Abstract role: color for elevated surfaces such as cards and panels (hex). Overrides the default of light2 (dark2 on a dark slide). |\n| `text` | no | `ref:HexColor` | Abstract role: primary body text color (hex). Overrides dark1 on a light slide only; a dark slide always uses light1. |\n| `textSecondary` | no | `ref:HexColor` | Abstract role: secondary or muted text color used for captions and supporting copy (hex). Overrides the default of dark2 (light2 on a dark slide). |\n\n\n### FontScheme\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: Typography selections used by the design system. The pair fields (major, minor) and refinement fields (type, app, languageFamily) mirror font-scheme.schema.json (https://openpresentation.org/schema/opf-font-scheme/v1) so library records and inline OPF overrides are interchangeable on those fields. Two parallel models are supported and may be mixed: - OOXML pairs (major, minor) - heading and body family names that round-trip directly to PowerPoint majorFont/minorFont entries. - Abstract roles...\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `id` | no | `ref:CatalogReference` | Font-scheme reference (a bare id or 'name:id') resolved as the base; field overrides on the surrounding FontScheme object take precedence over the resolved scheme. |\n| `major` | no | `string` | Heading (major) font family mirrors the OOXML majorFont entry. Pairs with 'minor'. |\n| `minor` | no | `string` | Body (minor) font family mirrors the OOXML minorFont entry. Pairs with 'major'. |\n| `eastAsian` | no | `object` | East Asian script fonts.

Maps onto the OOXML major slot when serializing. |\n| `body` | no | `string` | Abstract role: font family name used for body copy. Maps onto the OOXML minor slot when serializing. |\n| `accent` | no | `string` | Abstract role: font family name used for accent text. When set, the slide tag (eyebrow) and the quote body use this family instead of the body and heading families; nothing else changes. resolveFontFamilies() returns... |\n| `code` | no | `string` | Abstract role: monospaced font family name used for code blocks and for inline code runs (TextRun.code). No direct OOXML slot. Resolution: this override, then the resolved font-scheme record's 'code' (for example Cons... |\n\n\n### SlideDesign\n\n- Type: `allOf:ref:Design + schema`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: A slide's design: every Design field except dimensions. A PPTX has one slide size, so the size is set once, on the deck's design.dimensions (or its theme), and a slide's design cannot set it. A slide-level theme whose resolved dimensions differ from the deck's is a validate warning (opf/slide-theme-dimensions); exporting such a deck to PPTX fails with mixed-slide-dimensions.\n\n_No named properties._\n\n\n### DimensionPreset\n\n- Type: `enum:16:9 | 4:3 | 16:10 | 1:1 | 4:5 | 9:16 | letter | a4 | widescreen | standard`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: Named dimension preset; chooses both aspect ratio and physical size. 'widescreen' is an alias for 16:9 in PowerPoint widescreen size; 'standard' is an alias for 4:3 in PowerPoint standard size. The social-feed ratios keep the widescreen short edge of 7.5 in: 1:1 is 7.5 x 7.5 in, 4:5 is 7.5 x 9.375 in and 9:16 is 7.5 x 13.333 in (portrait).\n\n_No named properties._\n\n\n### Dimensions\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: Slide dimensions; either pick a preset or specify custom inches.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `preset` | no | `ref:DimensionPreset` |  |\n| `widthInches` | no | `number` | Custom slide width in inches; overrides the preset width when provided. |\n| `heightInches` | no | `number` | Custom slide height in inches; overrides the preset height when provided. |\n\n\n### ThemeBackgroundSlot\n\n- Type: `enum:light1 | light2 | dark1 | dark2`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: PowerPoint theme-controlled slide background slot from the active color scheme. These are slots, not assumptions about actual colors: light1 is usually white and dark1 is usually black by convention, but the color scheme controls the real values.\n\n_No named properties._\n\n\n### HexColor\n\n- Type: `string`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: Hex color shorthand accepted by selected string fields.\n\n_No named properties._\n\n\n### ColorRef\n\n- Type: `anyOf:ref:HexColor / enum:accent1 | accent2 | accent3 | accent4 | accent5 | accent6 | dark1 | dark2 | light1 | light2 | hyperlink | followedHyperlink | primary | secondary | accent | background | surface | surfaceAlt | text | textSecondary / string`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: A color value or reference, enforced on styled table cell fill and text colors, cell border colors, solid background colors, gradient stop colors and pattern foreground and background colors. Three forms: - Literal hex: '#RGB', '#RRGGBB', or '#RRGGBBAA'. - Color-scheme name, resolved through the effective color scheme after design resolution: an OOXML slot ('accent1'-'accent6', 'dark1', 'dark2', 'light1', 'light2', 'hyperlink', 'followedHyperlink') or an abstract role ('primary', 'secondary',...\n\n_No named properties._\n\n\n### Variables\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: Named variables, keyed by stable kebab-case id. A variable is a typed, named value the deck declares once and uses in many places: a color ('var:<id>' in color fields, the original use), or content that fills a template (text, number, date, image, url, list). Content is referenced inline as '{{<id>}}' inside any string, or whole as 'var:<id>' in a field of the matching type; '\\{{' writes a literal '{{'. A hex string is shorthand for a color variable. A variable with no 'value' is unfilled: ex...\n\n_No named properties._\n\n\n### Variable\n\n- Type: `oneOf:ref:HexColor / ref:ColorVariable / ref:TextVariable / ref:NumberVariable / ref:DateVariable / ref:ImageVariable / ref:UrlVariable / ref:ListVariable`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: A single named variable: a hex string (shorthand for a color variable) or an object whose 'type' is color, text, number, date, image, url or list. 'value' is the current value and is optional: a variable with no value is unfilled, which a template allows and a normal deck does not. 'example' only illustrates the slot (fill forms, template previews) and never reaches output.\n\n_No named properties._\n\n\n### ColorVariable\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: `type`\n- Purpose: A named color. Content color fields reference it as 'var:<id>'. Colors resolve at render time through the ordinary color-reference path, so a color variable keeps working as before.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `type` | yes | `const:\"color\"` | Variable kind. One of color, text, number, date, image, url or list. |\n| `value` | no | `ref:HexColor` | Hex color this variable resolves to. |\n| `required` | no | `boolean` | Whether the variable must be filled. Defaults to true: a variable with no 'value' is unfilled, and an unfilled required variable is an error in a normal deck and expected in a template. Set false for an optional slot:... |\n| `label` | no | `string` | Optional short human label for forms and fill panels. |\n| `description` | no | `string` | Optional prose describing what the variable is for, surfaced by pickers, fill forms and agents. |\n| `example` | no | `ref:HexColor` | Illustrative color shown in fill forms and used when a template is previewed with examples. Never written to output. |\n\n\n### TextVariable\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: `type`\n- Purpose: Text content. Plain string or rich TextRun[]. Insert it inline as '{{<id>}}' inside any string (rich text is flattened to plain text there), or reference it whole as 'var:<id>' in a field that accepts string or TextRun[] (the rich runs are kept).\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `type` | yes | `const:\"text\"` | Variable kind. One of color, text, number, date, image, url or list. |\n| `value` | no | `oneOf:string / array<ref:TextRun>` | Text this variable resolves to: a plain string, or TextRun[] for rich text. |\n| `required` | no | `boolean` | Whether the variable must be filled. Defaults to true: a variable with no 'value' is unfilled, and an unfilled required variable is an error in a normal deck and expected in a template. Set false for an optional slot:... |\n| `label` | no | `string` | Optional short human label for forms and fill panels. |\n| `description` | no | `string` | Optional prose describing what the variable is for, surfaced by pickers, fill forms and agents. |\n| `example` | no | `oneOf:string / array<ref:TextRun>` | Illustrative text shown in fill forms and used when a template is previewed with examples. Never written to output. |\n\n\n### NumberVariable\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: `type`\n- Purpose: A number. '{{<id>}}' inserts it as text using 'format'; 'var:<id>' as a whole field supplies the number itself (chart values, font sizes).\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `type` | yes | `const:\"number\"` | Variable kind. One of color, text, number, date, image, url or list. |\n| `value` | no | `number` | Number this variable resolves to. |\n| `required` | no | `boolean` | Whether the variable must be filled. Defaults to true: a variable with no 'value' is unfilled, and an unfilled required variable is an error in a normal deck and expected in a template. Set false for an optional slot:... |\n| `label` | no | `string` | Optional short human label for forms and fill panels. |\n| `description` | no | `string` | Optional prose describing what the variable is for, surfaced by pickers, fill forms and agents. |\n| `example` | no | `number` | Illustrative number shown in fill forms and used when a template is previewed with examples. Never written to output. |\n| `format` | no | `ref:NumberFormat` | Display pattern used by '{{<id>}}' (the shared NumberFormat syntax). A literal prefix, a numeric part of '#', '0', ',' and '.', and a literal suffix. '0' pads digits, '#' is optional, ',' groups thousands, digits afte... |\n\n\n### NumberFormat\n\n- Type: `string`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: Number display pattern, shared by NumberVariable.format, data column formats (DataColumn.format) and table cell formats (StyledTableCell.format). An optional literal prefix, a numeric part of '#', '0', ',' and '.', and an optional literal suffix. '0' pads digits, '#' is optional, ',' groups thousands, digits after '.' fix the decimals ('0' required, '#' optional), and a '%' in the prefix or suffix multiplies the value by 100. English separators only. A format applies only to number values; st...\n\n_No named properties._\n\n\n### DateVariable\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: `type`\n- Purpose: A calendar date as an ISO YYYY-MM-DD string. No time zone and no clock are involved. '{{<id>}}' inserts it formatted with 'format'.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `type` | yes | `const:\"date\"` | Variable kind. One of color, text, number, date, image, url or list. |\n| `value` | no | `string` | ISO calendar date (YYYY-MM-DD) this variable resolves to. |\n| `required` | no | `boolean` | Whether the variable must be filled. Defaults to true: a variable with no 'value' is unfilled, and an unfilled required variable is an error in a normal deck and expected in a template. Set false for an optional slot:... |\n| `label` | no | `string` | Optional short human label for forms and fill panels. |\n| `description` | no | `string` | Optional prose describing what the variable is for, surfaced by pickers, fill forms and agents. |\n| `example` | no | `string` | Illustrative ISO date shown in fill forms and used when a template is previewed with examples. Never written to output. |\n| `format` | no | `string` | Date display pattern, the same LDML-style tokens as header/footer dateFormat: yyyy, yy, MMMM, MMM, MM, M, dd, d, EEEE, EEE and quoted literals. English names. Default 'MMMM d, yyyy'. |\n\n\n### ImageVariable\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: `type`\n- Purpose: An image source: any Asset (an 'asset:<id>' reference, HTTPS URL, data URI, relative or local path, or an object with src, alt and metadata). Reference it whole as 'var:<id>' in an image, asset or src field; '{{<id>}}' inserts the source string.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `type` | yes | `const:\"image\"` | Variable kind. One of color, text, number, date, image, url or list. |\n| `value` | no | `ref:Asset` | Image source this variable resolves to. |\n| `required` | no | `boolean` | Whether the variable must be filled. Defaults to true: a variable with no 'value' is unfilled, and an unfilled required variable is an error in a normal deck and expected in a template. Set false for an optional slot:... |\n| `label` | no | `string` | Optional short human label for forms and fill panels. |\n| `description` | no | `string` | Optional prose describing what the variable is for, surfaced by pickers, fill forms and agents. |\n| `example` | no | `ref:Asset` | Illustrative image source shown in fill forms and used when a template is previewed with examples. Never written to output. |\n\n\n### UrlVariable\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: `type`\n- Purpose: A link target (http, https, mailto or tel). Use it as '{{<id>}}' inside a link string or reference it whole as 'var:<id>' in a link field.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `type` | yes | `const:\"url\"` | Variable kind. One of color, text, number, date, image, url or list. |\n| `value` | no | `string` | Link target this variable resolves to. |\n| `required` | no | `boolean` | Whether the variable must be filled. Defaults to true: a variable with no 'value' is unfilled, and an unfilled required variable is an error in a normal deck and expected in a template.

Never written to output. |\n\n\n### BackgroundShortcut\n\n- Type: `oneOf:ref:ThemeBackgroundSlot / ref:HexColor / ref:ImageSource`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: String shorthand for a background. Theme slots ('light1', 'light2', 'dark1', 'dark2') are equivalent to { type: 'theme', slot: value }; hex colors are equivalent to { type: 'solid', color: value }; an image source (starting with 'asset:', 'https://', 'data:', './' or '../') is equivalent to { type: 'image', src: value }, a cover image. Any other string is invalid.\n\n_No named properties._\n\n\n### ImageSource\n\n- Type: `string`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: An image source in a string shorthand: an 'asset:<id>' reference, an HTTPS URL, a data URI, or a relative path starting with './' or '../' (resolved against the OPF file location).\n\n_No named properties._\n\n\n### Background\n\n- Type: `oneOf:ref:ThemeBackground / ref:SolidBackground / ref:GradientBackground / ref:ImageBackground / ref:PatternBackground`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: Background fill applied to slides. Theme backgrounds preserve PowerPoint's color-scheme background choice; other variants represent fixed background fills.\n\n_No named properties._\n\n\n### ThemeBackground\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: `type`, `slot`\n- Purpose: Theme-controlled PowerPoint slide background. The slot is resolved through the active color scheme and remains theme-aware.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `type` | yes | `const:\"theme\"` | Theme-controlled background fill. |\n| `slot` | yes | `ref:ThemeBackgroundSlot` |  |\n\n\n### SolidBackground\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: `type`, `color`\n- Purpose: Fixed solid slide background fill.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `type` | yes | `const:\"solid\"` | Fixed solid background fill. |\n| `color` | yes | `ref:ColorRef` | Fixed solid fill color: a hex string, a color-scheme slot or role name, or a var:<id> variable reference (a ColorRef, resolved against the effective color scheme and the deck variables). Use { type: 'theme', slot: ...... |\n| `opacity` | no | `number` | Background opacity from 0 (fully transparent) to 1 (fully opaque). |\n\n\n### GradientBackground\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: `type`, `gradient`\n- Purpose: Fixed gradient slide background fill.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `type` | yes | `const:\"gradient\"` | Fixed gradient background fill. |\n| `gradient` | yes | `object` | Gradient fill definition. |\n| `opacity` | no | `number` | Background opacity from 0 (fully transparent) to 1 (fully opaque). |\n\n\n### ImageBackground\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: `type`, `src`\n- Purpose: Picture background: the image fills the whole canvas behind everything and never moves content (to push content aside, use an image block with placement). The string shorthand 'asset:x' (or any image source) is { type: 'image', src: 'asset:x' }, a cover image. Paint order: the colour scheme's default slide background, the picture, then the overlay, then furniture and content.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `type` | yes | `const:\"image\"` | Picture background. |\n| `src` | yes | `string` | Source for the background image: an 'asset:<id>' reference, HTTPS URL, data URI, or a relative path resolved against the OPF file location. |\n| `alt` | no | `string` | Alternative text. A background with alt is meaningful: PowerPoint export draws it as a full-slide picture at the back that carries the text, so screen readers see it. Without alt it is decorative and exports as the na... |\n| `fit` | no | `enum:cover \\| contain \\| stretch \\| tile` | How the picture fills the canvas: 'cover' fills it and crops what overflows around focus; 'contain' shows the whole picture centered over the colour scheme's default background; 'stretch' scales it to the canvas exact... |\n| `focus` | no | `ref:ImageFocus` | Point of the picture to keep in view when 'cover' crops it. Ignored by the other fits. |\n| `opacity` | no | `number` | Picture opacity from 0 (fully transparent) to 1 (fully opaque); the overlay keeps its own opacity. Default 1. |\n| `recolor` | no | `ref:ImageRecolor` | Grayscale or duotone treatment of the picture's pixels, as on an image block: recolor and opacity apply to the pixels, then the overlay is drawn above. |\n| `overlay` | no | `ref:Overlay` | Scrim over the whole picture or a band along one edge (edge, size), beneath furniture and content, for example to keep a title readable over a busy photo. |\n\n\n### ImageFocus\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: `x`, `y`\n- Purpose: A point of a picture as fractions of its width and height, from the top-left corner. A cover fit centers this point in the frame as far as the picture still covers the frame, so it always stays in view: { x: 0.5, y: 0.5 } (the default) is a center crop, { x: 0, y: 0 } keeps the top-left corner.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `x` | yes | `number` | Horizontal position, 0 (left edge) to 1 (right edge). |\n| `y` | yes | `number` | Vertical position, 0 (top edge) to 1 (bottom edge). |\n\n\n### Overlay\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: `color`, `opacity`\n- Purpose: Solid scrim over a picture: the whole frame in the frame's shape, or a band along one edge. Shared by image backgrounds and image blocks. Drawn directly above its picture and beneath headings and content; PowerPoint export writes one native shape above the picture.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `color` | yes | `ref:ColorRef` | Overlay fill color: a hex color (eight-digit hex keeps its alpha), a color-scheme slot or role name, or a 'var:<id>' variable reference. |\n| `opacity` | yes | `number` | Overlay fill opacity. |\n| `edge` | no | `enum:top \\| bottom \\| left \\| right` | Cover only a band along this edge of the frame, for example a caption strip. Backgrounds and rectangle image frames only; on another shape the overlay is not drawn and composition reports unsupported-image-treatment.... |\n| `size` | no | `number` | Band share of the frame for an edge overlay. Default 0.3. Ignored without edge. |\n\n\n### ImagePlacement\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: `edge`\n- Purpose: Bleeds an image block to one edge of the slide: the image takes a band along that edge, edge to edge, and the headings and other content compose in the rest of the slide at the normal padding. Only top-level blocks (slides.N.blocks.I) can be placed, at most one per edge; a layout's image placeholder may carry the same placement for the slide's image. Bands are taken in block order, each spanning the free area left by earlier ones. Placement is the only mechanism that moves content aside; a ba...\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `edge` | yes | `enum:left \\| right \\| top \\| bottom` | The slide edge the image bleeds to. |\n| `size` | no | `number` | Share of the slide width (left, right) or height (top, bottom) given to the band. Default 0.5. |\n| `inset` | no | `boolean` | Draw the frame inside the slide padding on every side of the band, like a card, instead of edge to edge. Default false. |\n\n\n### ImageBorder\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: `color`, `width`\n- Purpose: Solid line along the image frame's shape, centered on the outline with a miter join, like a native picture line. A thick dark border on a rounded portrait frame gives a device bezel.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `color` | yes | `ref:ColorRef` | Line color: a hex color, a color-scheme slot or role name, or a 'var:<id>' variable reference. |\n| `width` | yes | `number` | Line width in reference pixels at a 720-pixel short edge. 0 removes the line. |\n\n\n### ImageRecolor\n\n- Type: `oneOf:const:\"grayscale\" / object`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: Color treatment for the image pixels. Luminance uses Rec. 601 weights (0.299, 0.587, 0.114) on sRGB values.\n\n_No named properties._\n\n\n### PatternBackground\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: `type`, `pattern`\n- Purpose: Fixed pattern slide background fill.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `type` | yes | `const:\"pattern\"` | Fixed pattern background fill. |\n| `pattern` | yes | `object` | Pattern fill definition. |\n| `opacity` | no | `number` | Background opacity from 0 (fully transparent) to 1 (fully opaque). |\n\n\n### LogoSet\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: Deck logo variants surfaced by covers, section dividers, headers, footers and picture bullets. Organization identity lives in organization; this object only controls visual rendering assets. Engines select one variant per slot and background tone (resolveLogo in @openpresentation/opf): same-tone variants first, neutral ones next, the opposite tone last. Lockup on a dark background: light, default, stackedLight, stacked, wordmarkLight, wordmark, iconLight, icon, then dark, stackedDark, wordmar...\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `default` | no | `ref:Asset` | Default full-lockup logo. Used as fallback when no more specific variant is set. |\n| `light` | no | `ref:Asset` | Light-colored full-lockup logo intended for rendering on dark backgrounds. |\n| `dark` | no | `ref:Asset` | Dark-colored full-lockup logo intended for rendering on light backgrounds. |\n| `stacked` | no | `ref:Asset` | Stacked vertical logo lockup, suited to portrait or square brand-mark slots. |\n| `stackedLight` | no | `ref:Asset` | Light-colored stacked logo variant intended for rendering on dark backgrounds. |\n| `stackedDark` | no | `ref:Asset` | Dark-colored stacked logo variant intended for rendering on light backgrounds. |\n| `icon` | no | `ref:Asset` | Default icon, mark, or symbol without wordmark. Useful for tight spaces such as footers, badges, and slide-corner marks. |\n| `iconLight` | no | `ref:Asset` | Light-colored icon variant intended for rendering on dark backgrounds. |\n| `iconDark` | no | `ref:Asset` | Dark-colored icon variant intended for rendering on light backgrounds. |\n| `wordmark` | no | `ref:Asset` | Default wordmark: the organization name set in branded typography, without icon. |\n| `wordmarkLight` | no | `ref:Asset` | Light-colored wordmark variant intended for rendering on dark backgrounds. |\n| `wordmarkDark` | no | `ref:Asset` | Dark-colored wordmark variant intended for rendering on light backgrounds. |\n\n\n### Watermark\n\n- Type: `oneOf:schema / schema`\n- Required fields: `opacity`\n- Purpose: Decorative watermark: an image ('src') or a text stamp ('text'), exactly one of the two, with its opacity. An image is drawn once per slide, contained and centered in a fixed frame (the middle 40% of the slide width and height, from 30% to 70% on each axis). A text watermark is one line of text in the heading font and the theme text color at the given opacity, centered on the slide and rotated 30 degrees counterclockwise (rising to the right), sized to span at most 70% of the slide width and...\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `src` | no | `string` | Source for the watermark image: an 'asset:<id>' reference, HTTPS URL, data URI, relative path or local path, as for Asset.src. Exactly one of src and text is set. |\n| `text` | no | `string` | Text for a text watermark, such as DRAFT or CONFIDENTIAL; line breaks are drawn as spaces. Exactly one of src and text is set. |\n| `opacity` | yes | `number` | Watermark opacity from 0 (fully transparent) to 1 (fully opaque). |\n\n\n### HeaderFooter\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: Repeated header or footer content split into left, center, and right zones. Header/footer content is slide furniture, separate from the main slide content payloads.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `left` | no | `ref:HeaderFooterItem` | Left-aligned header/footer content. |\n| `center` | no | `ref:HeaderFooterItem` | Centered header/footer content. |\n| `right` | no | `ref:HeaderFooterItem` | Right-aligned header/footer content. |\n\n\n### HeaderFooterItem\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: One header/footer zone. Every configured field renders; fields in one zone stack top to bottom in the order logo, image, text, socials, date. Generated values such as the slide number, the slide count, the section, the organization or the speaker are variables inside text ('{{slide.number}} / {{deck.slideCount}}', '{{organization.name}}'), so one text writes several values in the author's order; a line break is '\\n'. Put a date and a slide number in different zones to keep each on the zone's...\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `logo` | no | `boolean` | Whether to render the deck's icon logo in this zone: a slide's design.logo, then design.logo, then the primary organization's logo (LogoSet icon variants first, light ones on dark backgrounds). It is a generated image... |\n| `text` | no | `string` | Text rendered in this zone. Variables resolve inside it like any string: deck-wide ones ('{{organization.name}}', '{{speaker.name}}, {{speaker.title}}', '{{customer}}') before composition, and the slide-scoped built-i... |\n| `image` | no | `ref:Asset` | Generic image rendered in this zone, such as a logo, partner mark, certification badge, or icon. |\n| `date` | no | `oneOf:boolean / string` | true renders the current date: the renderer or exporter must be given an explicit ISO date by its host (core never reads a clock). PPTX export writes a native date field only for a supported dateFormat whose complete... |\n| `dateFormat` | no | `string` | Date pattern for date. Tokens: yyyy (2026), yy (26), MMMM (April), MMM (Apr), MM (04), M (4), dd (09), d (9), EEEE (Thursday), EEE (Thu). Text in single quotes and other non-letter characters are literal. Month and we... |\n| `socials` | no | `boolean` | Whether to render the primary organization's social profiles from organization.socials, one line per platform in key order. A handle is formatted through the platform's socialPlatforms record (companyUrlPattern, else... |\n\n\n### Slide\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: A single slide. Content can be authored as a full-slide root payload, or inside promoted named region keys such as 'left', 'center+right', and 'top:left'.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `id` | no | `string` | Optional stable identifier for the slide within the document.

The engine draws the surrounding quotation marks. |\n| `attribution` | no | `string` | Person or organization credited for the quote. Drawn after the quote text, in the muted text color. |\n| `role` | no | `string` | Title and organization of the attributed person. Drawn on its own line under the attribution; without an attribution it stands alone. It does not replace the attribution, so the person's name belongs in 'attribution'. |\n| `photo` | no | `ref:Asset` | Headshot of the attributed person, drawn as a circle beside the attribution and role lines (on the end side in a right-to-left deck). Give it alt text (validate's opf/missing-alt-text rule checks it). A raster photogr... |\n| `source` | no | `string` | Optional quote source, citation, or URL. Follows the attribution and role after ' - '. |\n\n\n### Code\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: `source`\n- Purpose: Code content with optional rendering metadata. Use 'source' for the code text, 'language' for syntax highlighting, 'filename' when the rendered block should show a file label, and 'highlight' to emphasize lines.

Lines are counted by line break in 'source', so a line that wraps stays one... |\n\n\n### Metric\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: `value`\n- Purpose: Metric content with optional display metadata. Use 'value' for the primary value, 'label' for the metric name, 'description' for supporting context, 'unit' for a suffix/currency marker, 'delta' for change, 'trend' for direction, and 'sentiment' for whether the change is good news. A string or number value in a metric field is shorthand for { \"value\": value }; numeric values remain numbers and are formatted by renderers.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `value` | yes | `oneOf:string / number` | Primary metric value. |\n| `label` | no | `string` | Metric label. |\n| `description` | no | `string` | Optional supporting context for the metric. |\n| `unit` | no | `string` | Metric unit, suffix, or currency marker. |\n| `delta` | no | `oneOf:string / number` | Metric change value. |\n| `trend` | no | `enum:up \\| down \\| flat` | Metric trend direction.

A named position... |\n| `dataLabels` | no | `oneOf:boolean / ref:ChartDataLabels` | Optional data labels. true shows value labels at each type's default position, false (or absent) shows none, which is today's behaviour. Use the object form for the label content, position and separator. |\n| `alt` | no | `string` | Text alternative for the chart: what the data shows (the point and the key numbers), not 'a chart' or 'bar chart'. The preview exposes it as the chart's accessible name (role img with aria-label) and the PowerPoint ex... |\n| `highlight` | no | `ref:ChartHighlight` | Optional emphasis: the series and/or categories that carry the message. The engines draw the highlighted marks in the deck's primary (accent) color and every other mark in a muted neutral derived from the theme (a lig... |\n\n\n### ChartAxisTitles\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: Titles for the axes of a chart. 'category' is the axis that carries the row labels (the horizontal axis of a column or line chart, the vertical axis of a bar chart, the X axis of a scatter chart); 'value' is the other axis; 'secondary' is the secondary value axis of a combo chart.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `category` | no | `string` | Title of the category (X) axis. |\n| `value` | no | `string` | Title of the value (Y) axis. On a combo chart, the primary (left) value axis. |\n| `secondary` | no | `string` | Combo charts only: title of the secondary value axis at the right of the plot, drawn rotated like the primary value axis title. Dropped with a 'chart-option-adapted' diagnostic on any other chart type and on a combo c... |\n\n\n### ChartHighlight\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: Which series and categories a chart emphasizes. Names are matched exactly: series by data column name (after any 'fields' selection; a series is a plotted value column), categories by row label (the first column, or mapping.category), as text. A category label shared by several rows highlights each of them.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `series` | no | `array<string>` | Series (value columns) to highlight: all marks of each named series. A name that is not a column is a 'chart-highlight-unknown-name' error; a column that is not plotted as a series (the category or X column, or one ma... |\n| `categories` | no | `array<string>` | Categories (row labels) to highlight: the marks of each named category (a column or bar of every series, a line's points, a pie or doughnut slice). A label no row has is a 'chart-highlight-unknown-name' error. |\n\n\n### ChartDataLabels\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: Data label settings. A label shows the selected content parts in the fixed order category, value, percent, joined by the separator.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `content` | no | `array<enum:value \\| percent \\| category>` | Which parts a label shows.

'auto' (the default) is the type's default: outside-end for clustered columns and bars, pie slices and the histogram, pareto and waterfall constructs; center for stacked column... |\n| `separator` | no | `string` | Text between the parts of a label that shows more than one. Defaults to ', '. |\n\n\n### Table\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: Table content, inline or dataset-backed. An inline table has 'rows' (required) and optional 'columns'. A dataset-backed table has 'dataset' (required) and optional 'fields', and no 'rows' or 'columns': it takes its headers, rows and column formats from the dataset (per-cell styles need an inline table).\n- Conditional requirement: `dataset`, or otherwise `rows`\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `columns` | no | `array<oneOf:string / array<ref:TextRun> / ref:StyledTableCell / ref:DataColumn / null>` | Optional column labels. Labels may be strings, rich runs, styled cell objects or DataColumn objects ({ \"name\", \"format\" }). A header's 'format' (DataColumn or StyledTableCell) is the column's number format; a body cel... |\n| `rows` | no | `array<array<ref:TableCell>>` | Two-dimensional table row data; each row aligns by index with columns when columns are supplied. |\n| `dataset` | no | `ref:DatasetId` | Id of a top-level dataset that supplies this table's headers, rows and column formats. Excludes 'rows' and 'columns'. An unknown id is a 'dataset-unknown' error. |\n| `fields` | no | `ref:DatasetFields` | Dataset tables only: the dataset columns to show, by name and in order. Absent shows every column. An unknown name is a 'dataset-field-unknown' error. |\n| `alt` | no | `string` | Text alternative for the table: what it shows (the point and the key numbers), not 'a table'. The preview exposes it as the table's accessible name (role group with aria-label; the cells stay readable) and the PowerPo... |\n\n\n### ChartData\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: `columns`, `rows`\n- Purpose: Inline tabular data driving a chart. The first column usually supplies category/x-axis labels; subsequent columns are plotted measures unless 'chart.mapping' or a chart type maps them differently. Value cells are numbers; a string is read only in strict decimal syntax ('12', '-3.5', '1e6'), and anything else ('12%', '$5', '(5)', '1,234') is a gap and a 'chart-value-not-numeric' warning.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `columns` | yes | `array<oneOf:string / ref:DataColumn>` | Ordered column labels for the chart data table. A label is a string or a DataColumn ({ \"name\", \"format\" }) whose number format the data labels, value axis and exported workbook use. |\n| `rows` | yes | `array<array<ref:ChartDataCell>>` | Tabular chart rows. Each row aligns by index with columns. |\n| `source` | no | `ref:DataSourceRef` | Optional provenance: where this inline data came from. Engines never read, fetch or refresh it; they keep it through editing, export and re-import. |\n\n\n### DataColumn\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: `name`\n- Purpose: A named data column with an optional number format. Anywhere a chart or dataset column is a string it may be a DataColumn; the string form is { \"name\": value } with no format. A table column header may also be a DataColumn.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `name` | yes | `string` | Column label, used as the series name, the table header and the name 'fields' and 'chart.mapping' address. |\n| `format` | no | `ref:NumberFormat` | Number format of the column's number values (data labels, value axis, table cells, exported workbook). Absent: the General form. |\n\n\n### DataSourceRef\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: `src`\n- Purpose: Provenance of inline data or a dataset: the file, sheet and range it came from and when. Engines never read, fetch or refresh it; they keep it through editing, export and re-import. Re-import the data to update it.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `src` | yes | `string` | Where the data came from: an 'asset:<id>' reference, a URL, or a relative or local path. |\n| `sheet` | no | `string` | Sheet or table name inside a spreadsheet source. |\n| `range` | no | `string` | A1-style range inside a spreadsheet source. |\n| `fields` | no | `array<string>` | The source fields the data was taken from, in order. |\n| `retrieved` | no | `anyOf:schema / schema` | When the data was taken from the source: an ISO 8601 date or date-time. |\n| `description` | no | `string` | Free-form note about the source. |\n\n\n### DatasetId\n\n- Type: `string`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: Id of an entry in the top-level datasets map (the assets id pattern).\n\n_No named properties._\n\n\n### DatasetFields\n\n- Type: `array<string>`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: Dataset column names to use, in order, each at most once. Selects and orders the dataset's columns; an unknown name is a 'dataset-field-unknown' error.\n\n_No named properties._\n\n\n### Datasets\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: Shared data tables keyed by id (the assets id pattern). Charts reference one with 'chart.data': { \"dataset\": \"<id>\" } and tables with 'table': { \"dataset\": \"<id>\" }.\n\n_No named properties._\n\n\n### Dataset\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: `columns`, `rows`\n- Purpose: One shared data table: named columns (strings or DataColumn objects with a number format) and rows of scalar cells. Column names are unique ('data-column-duplicate' error). Rich text and styling belong in an inline table.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `title` | no | `string` | Human name of the dataset, shown by editors. |\n| `description` | no | `string` | What the dataset holds. |\n| `columns` | yes | `array<oneOf:string / ref:DataColumn>` | Ordered, uniquely named columns. |\n| `rows` | yes | `array<array<ref:ChartDataCell>>` | Rows of scalar cells (string, number, boolean, null); each row aligns by index with columns. |\n| `source` | no | `ref:DataSourceRef` | Optional provenance. Engines never read, fetch or refresh it. |\n\n\n### DatasetRef\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: `dataset`\n- Purpose: Chart data taken from a top-level dataset. Engines inline it before plotting; 'chart.mapping' names columns after the 'fields' selection.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `dataset` | yes | `ref:DatasetId` | Id of the dataset. An unknown id is a 'dataset-unknown' error. |\n| `fields` | no | `ref:DatasetFields` | The dataset columns to use, by name and in order. Absent uses every column. |\n\n\n### ChartMapping\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: Series mapping by column name (after any 'fields' selection). Mapping only selects and orders columns; pie, doughnut and other single-series constructs still plot one series. An unknown name is a 'chart-mapping-unknown-column' error; a series that repeats the category or X column, and an X column on a chart type without an X axis, are dropped with a 'chart-mapping-adapted' warning.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `category` | no | `string` | The label (category) column. Default: the first column. |\n| `x` | no | `string` | The X column of an XY (scatter) chart. Default: the second column (the first, when the category is the second column), and only when there are three or more columns: with two, the second column is the one series, plot... |\n| `series` | no | `array<string>` | The plotted columns, in order. Default: every column that is not the category or the X column. |\n\n\n### ChartDataCell\n\n- Type: `oneOf:string / number / boolean / null`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: A cell in inline chart data.\n\n_No named properties._\n\n\n### TableCell\n\n- Type: `oneOf:ref:TableCellValue / ref:StyledTableCell`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: A scalar, rich-run array, or styled/spanning cell object. Existing scalar and rich forms remain valid.\n\n_No named properties._\n\n\n### TableCellValue\n\n- Type: `oneOf:string / number / boolean / null / array<ref:TextRun>`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: A scalar table value or canonical rich text runs, without cell decoration or geometry.\n\n_No named properties._\n\n\n### StyledTableCell\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: `value`\n- Purpose: A cell with explicit visual style or merged geometry. Its position remains its array column index; use null placeholders for every covered grid position.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `value` | yes | `ref:TableCellValue` | Editable cell content; styling and spans do not change its scalar type or rich runs. |\n| `style` | no | `ref:TableCellStyle` |  |\n| `colSpan` | no | `integer` | Number of grid columns covered, starting at this cell. Covered positions must contain null. Default 1. |\n| `rowSpan` | no | `integer` | Number of grid rows covered, starting at this cell. Covered positions must contain null. Header cells cannot span into body rows. Default 1. |\n| `format` | no | `ref:NumberFormat` | Number format. On a body cell it formats that cell's number value (and wins over the column's format); on a header cell (in 'columns') it is the column's format, the same as a DataColumn header. Strings, booleans, nul... |\n\n\n### TableCellStyle\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: Cell appearance. Sizes use reference pixels at a 720-pixel canvas short edge and scale with the slide.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `fill` | no | `ref:ColorRef` | Cell background: a hex color, a color-scheme slot or role name, or a 'var:<id>' variable reference. Eight-digit hex colors include alpha; #00000000 is transparent. |\n| `color` | no | `ref:ColorRef` | Default text color, overridden by individual rich run colors. Accepts a hex color, a color-scheme slot or role name, or a 'var:<id>' variable reference. |\n| `align` | no | `enum:left \\| center \\| right` | Horizontal text alignment inside the cell. |\n| `verticalAlign` | no | `enum:top \\| middle \\| bottom` | Vertical alignment inside the padded cell box. |\n| `padding` | no | `ref:TableCellPadding` |  |\n| `borders` | no | `object` | Independent cell edges. Omitted edges retain the table theme border; width 0 removes an edge. |\n\n\n### TableCellPadding\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: Text insets in reference pixels. Defaults: top 8, right 10, bottom 4, left 10.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `top` | no | `number` |  |\n| `right` | no | `number` |  |\n| `bottom` | no | `number` |  |\n| `left` | no | `number` |  |\n\n\n### TableCellBorder\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: `color`, `width`\n- Purpose: One explicit cell border.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `color` | yes | `ref:ColorRef` | Border color: a hex color, a color-scheme slot or role name, or a 'var:<id>' variable reference. Eight-digit hex colors include alpha; #00000000 is transparent. |\n| `width` | yes | `number` | Border width in reference pixels; 0 removes this edge. |\n| `dash` | no | `enum:solid \\| dash \\| dot` | Default solid. |\n\n\n### Catalogs\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: The catalog records a document embeds, grouped by the catalog they came from. Each property is a group; inside a group, records are keyed by kind and then by id. - 'default': the catalog bare ids come from. It needs a 'source' when it holds records. Omitted: bare ids fall back to the host's default catalog. false: no catalog fallback, so every bare id must be embedded (under 'custom' or 'default'). - 'custom': the records the document defines itself. It has no source. - any other name ('acme'...\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `default` | no | `oneOf:allOf:ref:CatalogGroup + schema / const:false` | The catalog bare ids come from: its source and the records of it this document embeds. false turns off the catalog fallback for bare ids. |\n| `custom` | no | `allOf:ref:CatalogGroup + schema` | Records the document defines itself, referenced by bare id. Checked first for every bare id. Forking a catalog record copies it here under a new id, so the change of ownership is visible. |\n\n\n### CatalogGroup\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: One catalog group: the catalog's source and the records of it the document embeds, by kind and then by id.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `source` | no | `ref:CatalogSource` |  |\n| `layouts` | no | `ref:CatalogRecords` | Layout records keyed by id, each with the fields of https://openpresentation.org/schema/opf-layout/v1. Referenced from Slide.layout. |\n| `themes` | no | `ref:CatalogRecords` | Theme records keyed by id, each with the fields of https://openpresentation.org/schema/opf-theme/v1. Referenced from design.theme. |\n| `colorSchemes` | no | `ref:CatalogRecords` | Colour-scheme records keyed by id, each with the fields of https://openpresentation.org/schema/opf-color-scheme/v1. Referenced from design.colorScheme and a theme's colorScheme. |\n| `fontSchemes` | no | `ref:CatalogRecords` | Font-scheme records keyed by id, each with the fields of https://openpresentation.org/schema/opf-font-scheme/v1. Referenced from design.fontScheme, a theme's fontScheme and a language's font schemes. |\n| `narratives` | no | `ref:CatalogRecords` | Narrative records keyed by id, each with the fields of https://openpresentation.org/schema/opf-narrative/v1. Referenced from narrative. |\n| `audiences` | no | `ref:CatalogRecords` | Audience records keyed by id, each with the fields of https://openpresentation.org/schema/opf-audience/v1. Referenced from audience. |\n| `purposes` | no | `ref:CatalogRecords` | Purpose records keyed by id, each with the fields of https://openpresentation.org/schema/opf-purpose/v1. Referenced from purpose. |\n| `tones` | no | `ref:CatalogRecords` | Tone records keyed by id, each with the fields of https://openpresentation.org/schema/opf-tone/v1. Referenced from tone. |\n\n\n### CatalogSource\n\n- Type: `string`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: Identity of a catalog: an HTTPS URL ('https://www.pptx.gallery') or a package reference ('pkg:@acme/opf-catalog'). It names the catalog; engines never fetch or install it. A host registers the catalog's records under this exact string, and copying slides between documents matches groups by it.\n\n_No named properties._\n\n\n### CatalogRecords\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: Embedded records of one kind, keyed by id. The key is the record's id; an embedded record carries no '$schema', 'id', origin or digest. Catalog display metadata ('x-*' members) is stripped when a record is embedded.\n\n_No named properties._\n\n\n### CatalogReference\n\n- Type: `string`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: A content reference: a bare id ('two-column') or 'name:id' ('acme:hero'), where the prefix names a group of 'catalogs'. URLs and 'pkg:' strings are not references; a named catalog group replaces them. See Catalogs for the resolution order.\n\n_No named properties._\n\n\n### LanguageTag\n\n- Type: `string`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: A BCP-47 language tag ('en-US', 'ja', 'zh-Hans', 'sr-Latn-ME'), an engine vocabulary. Use 'en-GB' for UK English; 'en-UK' is not a valid region.\n\n_No named properties._\n\n\n### Composition\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: Portable dynamic composition. Slide fields override the resolved layout. Nested groups (content groups here, placeholder groups in a layout record) arrange their children independently, inheriting only minFontSize and overflow. Explicit promoted regions retain their positions.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `mode` | no | `enum:auto \\| grid \\| row \\| column` | auto chooses a grid from available space and content; grid uses columns; row and column use one horizontal or vertical track. |\n| `columns` | no | `integer` | Column count for grid. In auto mode this caps the number of columns. |\n| `gap` | no | `number` | Space between cells as a fraction of the container short edge (canvas at slide root). Default 0.03333333333333333. |\n| `padding` | no | `number` | Inset as a fraction of the container short edge. Default 0.08 on a slide, 0 inside a group. |\n| `weights` | no | `array<number>` | Relative track sizes: columns for row/grid/auto, rows for column. Omitted tracks have weight 1; extra weights are ignored. |\n| `minFontSize` | no | `number` | Minimum readable text size in reference pixels at a 720-pixel canvas short edge. Default 16. Overflow is diagnosed when text cannot fit at this size. |\n| `overflow` | no | `enum:warn \\| error` | warn returns diagnostics for content that does not fit; error rejects layout. Content is never silently removed. Default warn. |\n"

Each asset can be a source string or an object with src plus optional metadata.\n\n_No named properties._\n\n\n### Asset\n\n- Type: `oneOf:string / object`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: Reusable or inline resource. A string is shorthand for { \"src\": value }. Source strings accept 'asset:<id>' references, HTTPS URLs, data URIs, relative paths resolved against the OPF file location, or local filesystem paths. Use object form when metadata such as alt text, title or mediaType matters.\n\n_No named properties._\n\n\n### Audience\n\n- Type: `anyOf:schema / schema`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: Inline audience metadata for the presentation. Use 'id' to reference an audiences record (a bare id or 'name:id') and override selected fields, or use 'name' for a custom inline audience.\n- Conditional requirement: `id` or `name`\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `id` | no | `ref:CatalogReference` | Optional audiences reference (a bare id or 'name:id') resolved before applying the inline overrides. |\n| `name` | no | `string` | Human-readable audience name shown in pickers. |\n| `summary` | no | `string` | One-sentence positioning of the audience. |\n| `description` | no | `string` | Longer prose describing the audience and how to address them. |\n| `seniority` | no | `enum:ic \\| manager \\| director \\| vp \\| c-suite \\| mixed` | Typical seniority level of the audience. |\n| `technicalFluency` | no | `enum:low \\| medium \\| high \\| mixed` | Typical technical fluency of the audience. |\n| `decisionPower` | no | `enum:informational \\| advisory \\| decision-maker` | Whether the audience is expected to be informed, advise, or decide. |\n| `attentionBudgetMinutes` | no | `number` | Realistic upper bound on focused attention for a single presentation, in minutes. |\n| `recommendedNarratives` | no | `array<string>` | Soft cross-link: narrative ids that work well for this audience, for picker UIs.

The script selects the OOXML font slot the language's text uses: East Asian scripts (Hans, Hant, Hani, Jpan, Kore, Hang, Hira, Kana, Bopo, Yiii) use the eastAsia... |\n| `fontScheme` | no | `ref:CatalogReference` | Font-scheme reference (a bare id or 'name:id') for this language's script slot when targeting PowerPoint output. Its major/minor families fill the language's script slot (eastAsian or complexScript, chosen by 'script'... |\n| `googleFontScheme` | no | `ref:CatalogReference` | Font-scheme reference (a bare id or 'name:id') used in place of 'fontScheme' when resolving script fonts for Google Slides output. |\n| `summary` | no | `string` | One-sentence note about coverage or font defaults. |\n| `description` | no | `string` | Longer prose describing the language record and any font-pairing rationale. |\n| `tags` | no | `array<string>` | Free-form labels for filtering and search. |\n\n\n### Tone\n\n- Type: `anyOf:schema / schema`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: Inline tone metadata for the presentation. Use 'id' to reference a tones record (a bare id or 'name:id') and override selected fields, or use 'name' for a custom inline tone.\n- Conditional requirement: `id` or `name`\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `id` | no | `ref:CatalogReference` | Optional tones reference (a bare id or 'name:id') resolved before applying the inline overrides. |\n| `name` | no | `string` | Human-readable tone name shown in pickers. |\n| `summary` | no | `string` | One-sentence positioning of the tone. |\n| `description` | no | `string` | Longer prose describing the tone and the kinds of decks it suits. |\n| `voiceCues` | no | `array<string>` | Short directives that shape AI generation toward this tone. |\n| `avoid` | no | `array<string>` | Anti-patterns that AI generation should not produce when this tone is active. |\n| `samplePhrases` | no | `array<string>` | Short example phrases that exemplify this tone. |\n| `recommendedNarratives` | no | `array<string>` | Soft cross-link: narrative ids this tone pairs well with, for picker UIs. Never resolved, embedded or validated as references. |\n| `tags` | no | `array<string>` | Free-form labels for filtering and search. |\n\n\n### Organization\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: `id`, `name`\n- Purpose: An organization associated with the presentation, typically the presenting company, but also hosts, partners, clients, or sponsors. The primary organization (role 'primary', else the first one) supplies the cover and section logo (unless design.logo overrides it) and the 'socials' header/footer field (its socials). Every field is also a built-in variable ('{{organization.name}}', 'organization.<id>.<field>'), and every logo a slide-scoped image ('var:organization.logo.icon', 'var:organization...\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `id` | yes | `string` | Stable identifier for the organization, used to reference it from Speaker.organizationId and to address it in built-in variables as 'organization.<id>.<field>'. Must be unique among organizations (a duplicate is a val... |\n| `name` | yes | `string` | Display name. The built-in variable 'organization.name' (primary organization) or 'organization.<id>.name' carries it into any string, such as a header or footer text of '{{organization.name}}'. |\n| `legalName` | no | `string` | Optional legal entity name when it differs from the display name. Never drawn automatically; available as the built-in variable 'organization.legalName'. |\n| `logo` | no | `oneOf:ref:Asset / ref:OrganizationLogo` | The organization's logo.

A pat... |\n| `domain` | no | `string` | Bare internet domain for the organization. Never drawn automatically and not used to look up assets; available as the built-in variable 'organization.domain'. |\n| `email` | no | `string` | General contact email for the organization. Never drawn automatically; available as the built-in variable 'organization.email'. |\n| `phone` | no | `string` | Main contact phone number for the organization. E.164 format is recommended. Never drawn automatically; available as the built-in variable 'organization.phone'. |\n| `tagline` | no | `string` | Short tagline. Never drawn automatically (cover slides do not show it); available as the built-in variable 'organization.tagline', for example in a footer 'text' of '{{organization.tagline}}'. |\n| `role` | no | `enum:primary \\| partner \\| client \\| sponsor \\| host` | Role of the organization relative to the presentation. Only 'primary' has behavior: it selects the primary organization (cover and section logo, the 'socials' header/footer field, and the 'organization.<field>' built-... |\n| `socials` | no | `ref:Socials` | Optional social media handles or URLs for the organization. The primary organization's socials render in header/footer zones that set socials: true; otherwise they are authoring metadata. |\n\n\n### Speaker\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: `id`, `name`\n- Purpose: A person presenting the deck. A speaker is drawn only through built-in variables ('{{speaker.name}}' inside any string, a header or footer text included, and 'var:speaker.photo' as a whole image field). No layout, cover or bio slide places a speaker on its own. See docs/templates-and-variables.md.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `id` | yes | `string` | Stable identifier for the speaker. Must be unique among speakers (a duplicate is a validation error). Addresses this speaker in built-in variables as 'speaker.<id>.<field>', such as '{{speaker.alice.title}}'. |\n| `name` | yes | `string` | Display name. Built-in variable 'speaker.name' (first speaker) or 'speaker.<id>.name'; every name is listed by 'speakers'. |\n| `title` | no | `string` | Role or title. Built-in variable 'speaker.title' (or 'speaker.<id>.title'), for example in a footer text of '{{speaker.name}}, {{speaker.title}}'. |\n| `photo` | no | `ref:Asset` | Source for the speaker's headshot image. Accepts an HTTPS URL, data URI, relative path (resolved against the OPF file location), local path, or 'asset:<id>' reference.

Attribution metadata for hosts: no engine draws it or changes which organization is primary becaus... |\n| `socials` | no | `ref:Socials` | Optional social media handles or URLs for the speaker. Authoring metadata only: nothing draws speaker socials and there is no built-in variable for them (the 'socials' header/footer field draws the primary organizatio... |\n\n\n### Socials\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: Social media handles or URLs, keyed by platform. The keys are an engine vocabulary validated directly (no catalog lookup): engines link a handle with the platform's URL pattern and handle prefix (spec/reference/engine-vocabularies.json). Each value is a string, either a full URL or a platform handle (e.g., '@acme'). Brand colours and icons are catalog display metadata for authoring UIs; engines render the profile URL, not icons or brand colours. Used both for organization and speaker records.\n\n_No named properties._\n\n\n### Design\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: Visual design system applied to the presentation; individual slides may override fields via Slide.design.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `theme` | no | `ref:CatalogReference` | Theme for the deck: a themes reference, a bare id ('minimal') or 'name:id' ('acme:brand'). The theme supplies the default colour scheme, font scheme, background and dimensions; design.colorScheme, design.fontScheme, d... |\n| `colorScheme` | no | `oneOf:string / ref:ColorScheme` | Color scheme for the presentation. Accepts two forms: - A colorSchemes reference: a bare id ('cool-horizon') or 'name:id' ('acme:ocean'). - Object form: a ColorScheme with an optional 'id' reference as the base plus s... |\n| `fontScheme` | no | `oneOf:string / ref:FontScheme` | Font scheme for heading, body, accent, and code text. Accepts two forms: - A fontSchemes reference: a bare id ('aptos') or 'name:id' ('acme:inter'). - Object form: a FontScheme with an optional 'id' reference as the b... |\n| `dimensions` | no | `oneOf:ref:DimensionPreset / ref:Dimensions` | Slide dimensions and aspect ratio. String shorthand such as 'widescreen' is equivalent to { preset: 'widescreen' }. |\n| `background` | no | `oneOf:ref:BackgroundShortcut / ref:Background` | Default slide background applied across the deck unless overridden on a slide (slides.N.design.background); the resolved theme's background is the fallback. A background is the only canvas fill and never moves content... |\n| `logo` | no | `oneOf:string / const:false` | Which logo covers, section dividers and picture bullets draw. Logos live on the organization (Organization.logo); without this field covers and sections draw the primary organization's full logo and picture bullets it... |\n| `watermark` | no | `oneOf:const:false / ref:Asset / ref:Watermark` | Optional decorative watermark applied across slides: an image or a text stamp, in the fixed frame and at the opacity described on Watermark. Use false to suppress an inherited watermark in slide-level design; a string... |\n| `header` | no | `oneOf:const:false / ref:HeaderFooter` | Repeated header furniture rendered outside the main slide content. Use false to suppress an inherited header. |\n| `footer` | no | `oneOf:const:false / ref:HeaderFooter` | Repeated footer furniture rendered outside the main slide content. Use false to suppress an inherited footer. |\n| `titleAlignment` | no | `enum:left \\| center \\| right` | Default horizontal alignment for title placeholders in resolved layouts. Effective value: the slide's design, then the deck's design, then the layout record's design.titleAlignment, then the engine default. |\n| `contentAlignment` | no | `enum:left \\| center \\| right` | Default horizontal alignment for body/content regions in resolved layouts. Effective value: the slide's design, then the deck's design, then the layout record's design.contentAlignment, then the engine default. A cove... |\n| `contentBox` | no | `boolean` | Whether body/content regions are rendered inside a visible card or surface. Effective value: the slide's design, then the deck's design, then the layout record's design.contentBox, then the engine default. |\n| `contentDirection` | no | `enum:horizontal \\| vertical` | Axis along which parallel body content is arranged. Sets the root arrangement mode of blocks and root payloads when no composition.mode is set on the slide or on its layout record: 'vertical' is column, 'horizontal' i... |\n| `chartPrimary` | no | `enum:none \\| top \\| bottom \\| left \\| right` | Where the primary chart sits relative to supporting content. Effective value: slide design, then deck design, then the layout record's design.chartPrimary. When the slide has no promoted regions and no composition.mod... |\n| `imageFit` | no | `enum:cover \\| contain \\| stretch` | Default fit of image blocks (and Slide.image) that set no fit of their own: 'cover' fills the frame and crops what overflows around the block's focus, 'contain' shows the whole picture centered in the frame, 'stretch'... |\n| `listBullet` | no | `enum:character \\| image` | Marker style for items and bullets lists. Effective value: the slide's design, then the deck's design, then the layout record's design.listBullet, then 'character'. 'character' (the default) draws the glyph marker. 'i... |\n\n\n### ColorScheme\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: Color palette used by the design system. Every slot and role is a hex color ('#RGB', '#RRGGBB' or '#RRGGBBAA'); a color-scheme name or a 'var:<id>' reference is not valid here, because those resolve through the scheme. The slot fields (accent1-accent6, dark1, dark2, light1, light2, hyperlink, followedHyperlink) mirror color-scheme.schema.json (https://openpresentation.org/schema/opf-color-scheme/v1) so library records and inline OPF overrides are interchangeable on those fields. Two parallel...\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `id` | no | `ref:CatalogReference` | Colour-scheme reference (a bare id or 'name:id') resolved as the base; slot and role overrides on the surrounding ColorScheme object take precedence over the resolved scheme. |\n| `accent1` | no | `ref:HexColor` | Accent 1 color (hex). Mirrors the OOXML accent1 slot. |\n| `accent2` | no | `ref:HexColor` | Accent 2 color (hex). Mirrors the OOXML accent2 slot. |\n| `accent3` | no | `ref:HexColor` | Accent 3 color (hex). Mirrors the OOXML accent3 slot. |\n| `accent4` | no | `ref:HexColor` | Accent 4 color (hex). Mirrors the OOXML accent4 slot. |\n| `accent5` | no | `ref:HexColor` | Accent 5 color (hex). Mirrors the OOXML accent5 slot. |\n| `accent6` | no | `ref:HexColor` | Accent 6 color (hex). Mirrors the OOXML accent6 slot. |\n| `dark1` | no | `ref:HexColor` | Dark 1 color (hex). Typically the deepest neutral; OOXML dark1. |\n| `dark2` | no | `ref:HexColor` | Dark 2 color (hex). Secondary dark; OOXML dark2. |\n| `light1` | no | `ref:HexColor` | Light 1 color (hex). Typically the slide canvas; OOXML lt1. |\n| `light2` | no | `ref:HexColor` | Light 2 color (hex). Secondary light surface; OOXML lt2. |\n| `hyperlink` | no | `ref:HexColor` | Hyperlink color (hex). OOXML hlink. Link runs with no color of their own are drawn underlined in it, in the preview and in PowerPoint, unless it has under 4.5:1 contrast against the slide background, then in the slide... |\n| `followedHyperlink` | no | `ref:HexColor` | Followed-hyperlink color (hex). OOXML folHlink. |\n| `primary` | no | `ref:HexColor` | Abstract role: primary brand color (hex). The engine maps this onto an OOXML accent slot when serializing. |\n| `secondary` | no | `ref:HexColor` | Abstract role: secondary brand color (hex). |\n| `accent` | no | `ref:HexColor` | Abstract role: accent color used for highlights and emphasis (hex). |\n| `background` | no | `ref:HexColor` | Abstract role: default slide background color (hex), used when the design names no single-color background (and for gradient and picture backgrounds). Overrides light1 as that default. |\n| `surface` | no | `ref:HexColor` | Abstract role: color for elevated surfaces such as cards and panels (hex). Overrides the default of light2 (dark2 on a dark slide). |\n| `text` | no | `ref:HexColor` | Abstract role: primary body text color (hex). Overrides dark1 on a light slide only; a dark slide always uses light1. |\n| `textSecondary` | no | `ref:HexColor` | Abstract role: secondary or muted text color used for captions and supporting copy (hex). Overrides the default of dark2 (light2 on a dark slide). |\n\n\n### FontScheme\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: Typography selections used by the design system. The pair fields (major, minor) and refinement fields (type, app, languageFamily) mirror font-scheme.schema.json (https://openpresentation.org/schema/opf-font-scheme/v1) so library records and inline OPF overrides are interchangeable on those fields. Two parallel models are supported and may be mixed: - OOXML pairs (major, minor) - heading and body family names that round-trip directly to PowerPoint majorFont/minorFont entries. - Abstract roles...\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `id` | no | `ref:CatalogReference` | Font-scheme reference (a bare id or 'name:id') resolved as the base; field overrides on the surrounding FontScheme object take precedence over the resolved scheme. |\n| `major` | no | `string` | Heading (major) font family mirrors the OOXML majorFont entry. Pairs with 'minor'. |\n| `minor` | no | `string` | Body (minor) font family mirrors the OOXML minorFont entry. Pairs with 'major'. |\n| `eastAsian` | no | `object` | East Asian script fonts. Maps to the OOXML a:ea element of majorFont (major) and minorFont (minor), and to run-level a:ea. When set, they fill the eastAsian slot for every language; when omitted, the slot comes from t... |\n| `complexScript` | no | `object` | Complex-script fonts (for example Arabic, Hebrew, Indic and Thai). Maps to the OOXML a:cs element of majorFont (major) and minorFont (minor), and to run-level a:cs. When set, they fill the complexScript slot for every... |\n| `type` | no | `enum:sans-serif \\| serif \\| monospace` | High-level typographic class of the scheme. |\n| `app` | no | `enum:powerpoint \\| google-slides` | Target application this font pairing is intended for. Metadata for pickers and catalog filters: no engine changes its output by it. |\n| `languageFamily` | no | `enum:latin \\| ea \\| cs \\| eastAsian \\| complexScript` | Font-language family this scheme is intended for: 'latin' for Latin-script content, 'ea' (or 'eastAsian', the same value) for East Asian scripts, 'cs' (or 'complexScript', the same value) for Complex Scripts. The long... |\n| `heading` | no | `string` | Abstract role: font family name used for slide titles and headings. Maps onto the OOXML major slot when serializing. |\n| `body` | no | `string` | Abstract role: font family name used for body copy. Maps onto the OOXML minor slot when serializing. |\n| `accent` | no | `string` | Abstract role: font family name used for accent text. When set, the slide tag (eyebrow) and the quote body use this family instead of the body and heading families; nothing else changes. resolveFontFamilies() returns... |\n| `code` | no | `string` | Abstract role: monospaced font family name used for code blocks and for inline code runs (TextRun.code). No direct OOXML slot. Resolution: this override, then the resolved font-scheme record's 'code' (for example Cons... |\n\n\n### SlideDesign\n\n- Type: `allOf:ref:Design + schema`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: A slide's design: every Design field except dimensions. A PPTX has one slide size, so the size is set once, on the deck's design.dimensions (or its theme), and a slide's design cannot set it. A slide-level theme whose resolved dimensions differ from the deck's is a validate warning (opf/slide-theme-dimensions); exporting such a deck to PPTX fails with mixed-slide-dimensions.\n\n_No named properties._\n\n\n### DimensionPreset\n\n- Type: `enum:16:9 | 4:3 | 16:10 | 1:1 | 4:5 | 9:16 | letter | a4 | widescreen | standard`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: Named dimension preset; chooses both aspect ratio and physical size. 'widescreen' is an alias for 16:9 in PowerPoint widescreen size; 'standard' is an alias for 4:3 in PowerPoint standard size. The social-feed ratios keep the widescreen short edge of 7.5 in: 1:1 is 7.5 x 7.5 in, 4:5 is 7.5 x 9.375 in and 9:16 is 7.5 x 13.333 in (portrait).\n\n_No named properties._\n\n\n### Dimensions\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: Slide dimensions; either pick a preset or specify custom inches.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `preset` | no | `ref:DimensionPreset` |  |\n| `widthInches` | no | `number` | Custom slide width in inches; overrides the preset width when provided. |\n| `heightInches` | no | `number` | Custom slide height in inches; overrides the preset height when provided. |\n\n\n### ThemeBackgroundSlot\n\n- Type: `enum:light1 | light2 | dark1 | dark2`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: PowerPoint theme-controlled slide background slot from the active color scheme. These are slots, not assumptions about actual colors: light1 is usually white and dark1 is usually black by convention, but the color scheme controls the real values.\n\n_No named properties._\n\n\n### HexColor\n\n- Type: `string`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: Hex color shorthand accepted by selected string fields.\n\n_No named properties._\n\n\n### ColorRef\n\n- Type: `anyOf:ref:HexColor / enum:accent1 | accent2 | accent3 | accent4 | accent5 | accent6 | dark1 | dark2 | light1 | light2 | hyperlink | followedHyperlink | primary | secondary | accent | background | surface | surfaceAlt | text | textSecondary / string`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: A color value or reference, enforced on styled table cell fill and text colors, cell border colors, solid background colors, gradient stop colors and pattern foreground and background colors. Three forms: - Literal hex: '#RGB', '#RRGGBB', or '#RRGGBBAA'. - Color-scheme name, resolved through the effective color scheme after design resolution: an OOXML slot ('accent1'-'accent6', 'dark1', 'dark2', 'light1', 'light2', 'hyperlink', 'followedHyperlink') or an abstract role ('primary', 'secondary',...\n\n_No named properties._\n\n\n### Variables\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: Named variables, keyed by stable kebab-case id. A variable is a typed, named value the deck declares once and uses in many places: a color ('var:<id>' in color fields, the original use), or content that fills a template (text, number, date, image, url, list). Content is referenced inline as '{{<id>}}' inside any string, or whole as 'var:<id>' in a field of the matching type; '\\{{' writes a literal '{{'. A hex string is shorthand for a color variable. A variable with no 'value' is unfilled: ex...\n\n_No named properties._\n\n\n### Variable\n\n- Type: `oneOf:ref:HexColor / ref:ColorVariable / ref:TextVariable / ref:NumberVariable / ref:DateVariable / ref:ImageVariable / ref:UrlVariable / ref:ListVariable`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: A single named variable: a hex string (shorthand for a color variable) or an object whose 'type' is color, text, number, date, image, url or list. 'value' is the current value and is optional: a variable with no value is unfilled, which a template allows and a normal deck does not. 'example' only illustrates the slot (fill forms, template previews) and never reaches output.\n\n_No named properties._\n\n\n### ColorVariable\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: `type`\n- Purpose: A named color. Content color fields reference it as 'var:<id>'. Colors resolve at render time through the ordinary color-reference path, so a color variable keeps working as before.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `type` | yes | `const:\"color\"` | Variable kind. One of color, text, number, date, image, url or list. |\n| `value` | no | `ref:HexColor` | Hex color this variable resolves to. |\n| `required` | no | `boolean` | Whether the variable must be filled. Defaults to true: a variable with no 'value' is unfilled, and an unfilled required variable is an error in a normal deck and expected in a template. Set false for an optional slot:... |\n| `label` | no | `string` | Optional short human label for forms and fill panels. |\n| `description` | no | `string` | Optional prose describing what the variable is for, surfaced by pickers, fill forms and agents. |\n| `example` | no | `ref:HexColor` | Illustrative color shown in fill forms and used when a template is previewed with examples. Never written to output. |\n\n\n### TextVariable\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: `type`\n- Purpose: Text content. Plain string or rich TextRun[]. Insert it inline as '{{<id>}}' inside any string (rich text is flattened to plain text there), or reference it whole as 'var:<id>' in a field that accepts string or TextRun[] (the rich runs are kept).\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `type` | yes | `const:\"text\"` | Variable kind. One of color, text, number, date, image, url or list. |\n| `value` | no | `oneOf:string / array<ref:TextRun>` | Text this variable resolves to: a plain string, or TextRun[] for rich text. |\n| `required` | no | `boolean` | Whether the variable must be filled. Defaults to true: a variable with no 'value' is unfilled, and an unfilled required variable is an error in a normal deck and expected in a template. Set false for an optional slot:... |\n| `label` | no | `string` | Optional short human label for forms and fill panels. |\n| `description` | no | `string` | Optional prose describing what the variable is for, surfaced by pickers, fill forms and agents. |\n| `example` | no | `oneOf:string / array<ref:TextRun>` | Illustrative text shown in fill forms and used when a template is previewed with examples. Never written to output. |\n\n\n### NumberVariable\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: `type`\n- Purpose: A number. '{{<id>}}' inserts it as text using 'format'; 'var:<id>' as a whole field supplies the number itself (chart values, font sizes).\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `type` | yes | `const:\"number\"` | Variable kind. One of color, text, number, date, image, url or list. |\n| `value` | no | `number` | Number this variable resolves to. |\n| `required` | no | `boolean` | Whether the variable must be filled. Defaults to true: a variable with no 'value' is unfilled, and an unfilled required variable is an error in a normal deck and expected in a template. Set false for an optional slot:... |\n| `label` | no | `string` | Optional short human label for forms and fill panels. |\n| `description` | no | `string` | Optional prose describing what the variable is for, surfaced by pickers, fill forms and agents. |\n| `example` | no | `number` | Illustrative number shown in fill forms and used when a template is previewed with examples. Never written to output. |\n| `format` | no | `ref:NumberFormat` | Display pattern used by '{{<id>}}' (the shared NumberFormat syntax). A literal prefix, a numeric part of '#', '0', ',' and '.', and a literal suffix. '0' pads digits, '#' is optional, ',' groups thousands, digits afte... |\n\n\n### NumberFormat\n\n- Type: `string`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: Number display pattern, shared by NumberVariable.format, data column formats (DataColumn.format) and table cell formats (StyledTableCell.format). An optional literal prefix, a numeric part of '#', '0', ',' and '.', and an optional literal suffix. '0' pads digits, '#' is optional, ',' groups thousands, digits after '.' fix the decimals ('0' required, '#' optional), and a '%' in the prefix or suffix multiplies the value by 100. English separators only. A format applies only to number values; st...\n\n_No named properties._\n\n\n### DateVariable\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: `type`\n- Purpose: A calendar date as an ISO YYYY-MM-DD string. No time zone and no clock are involved. '{{<id>}}' inserts it formatted with 'format'.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `type` | yes | `const:\"date\"` | Variable kind. One of color, text, number, date, image, url or list. |\n| `value` | no | `string` | ISO calendar date (YYYY-MM-DD) this variable resolves to. |\n| `required` | no | `boolean` | Whether the variable must be filled. Defaults to true: a variable with no 'value' is unfilled, and an unfilled required variable is an error in a normal deck and expected in a template. Set false for an optional slot:... |\n| `label` | no | `string` | Optional short human label for forms and fill panels. |\n| `description` | no | `string` | Optional prose describing what the variable is for, surfaced by pickers, fill forms and agents. |\n| `example` | no | `string` | Illustrative ISO date shown in fill forms and used when a template is previewed with examples. Never written to output. |\n| `format` | no | `string` | Date display pattern, the same LDML-style tokens as header/footer dateFormat: yyyy, yy, MMMM, MMM, MM, M, dd, d, EEEE, EEE and quoted literals. English names. Default 'MMMM d, yyyy'. |\n\n\n### ImageVariable\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: `type`\n- Purpose: An image source: any Asset (an 'asset:<id>' reference, HTTPS URL, data URI, relative or local path, or an object with src, alt and metadata). Reference it whole as 'var:<id>' in an image, asset or src field; '{{<id>}}' inserts the source string.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `type` | yes | `const:\"image\"` | Variable kind. One of color, text, number, date, image, url or list. |\n| `value` | no | `ref:Asset` | Image source this variable resolves to. |\n| `required` | no | `boolean` | Whether the variable must be filled. Defaults to true: a variable with no 'value' is unfilled, and an unfilled required variable is an error in a normal deck and expected in a template. Set false for an optional slot:... |\n| `label` | no | `string` | Optional short human label for forms and fill panels. |\n| `description` | no | `string` | Optional prose describing what the variable is for, surfaced by pickers, fill forms and agents. |\n| `example` | no | `ref:Asset` | Illustrative image source shown in fill forms and used when a template is previewed with examples. Never written to output. |\n\n\n### UrlVariable\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: `type`\n- Purpose: A link target (http, https, mailto or tel). Use it as '{{<id>}}' inside a link string or reference it whole as 'var:<id>' in a link field.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `type` | yes | `const:\"url\"` | Variable kind. One of color, text, number, date, image, url or list. |\n| `value` | no | `string` | Link target this variable resolves to. |\n| `required` | no | `boolean` | Whether the variable must be filled. Defaults to true: a variable with no 'value' is unfilled, and an unfilled required variable is an error in a normal deck and expected in a template. Set false for an optional slot:... |\n| `label` | no | `string` | Optional short human label for forms and fill panels. |\n| `description` | no | `string` | Optional prose describing what the variable is for, surfaced by pickers, fill forms and agents. |\n| `example` | no | `string` | Illustrative link shown in fill forms and used when a template is previewed with examples. Never written to output. |\n\n\n### ListVariable\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: `type`\n- Purpose: A list of strings, for bullets and list items. A whole-string array element 'var:<id>' splices every entry into the array in place; a whole field 'var:<id>' becomes the array; '{{<id>}}' joins the entries with ', ' (or the separator after a pipe: '{{<id>|; }}').\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `type` | yes | `const:\"list\"` | Variable kind. One of color, text, number, date, image, url or list. |\n| `value` | no | `array<string>` | Entries this variable resolves to. |\n| `required` | no | `boolean` | Whether the variable must be filled. Defaults to true: a variable with no 'value' is unfilled, and an unfilled required variable is an error in a normal deck and expected in a template. Set false for an optional slot:... |\n| `label` | no | `string` | Optional short human label for forms and fill panels. |\n| `description` | no | `string` | Optional prose describing what the variable is for, surfaced by pickers, fill forms and agents. |\n| `example` | no | `array<string>` | Illustrative entries shown in fill forms and used when a template is previewed with examples. Never written to output. |\n\n\n### BackgroundShortcut\n\n- Type: `oneOf:ref:ThemeBackgroundSlot / ref:HexColor / ref:ImageSource`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: String shorthand for a background. Theme slots ('light1', 'light2', 'dark1', 'dark2') are equivalent to { type: 'theme', slot: value }; hex colors are equivalent to { type: 'solid', color: value }; an image source (starting with 'asset:', 'https://', 'data:', './' or '../') is equivalent to { type: 'image', src: value }, a cover image. Any other string is invalid.\n\n_No named properties._\n\n\n### ImageSource\n\n- Type: `string`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: An image source in a string shorthand: an 'asset:<id>' reference, an HTTPS URL, a data URI, or a relative path starting with './' or '../' (resolved against the OPF file location).\n\n_No named properties._\n\n\n### Background\n\n- Type: `oneOf:ref:ThemeBackground / ref:SolidBackground / ref:GradientBackground / ref:ImageBackground / ref:PatternBackground`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: Background fill applied to slides. Theme backgrounds preserve PowerPoint's color-scheme background choice; other variants represent fixed background fills.\n\n_No named properties._\n\n\n### ThemeBackground\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: `type`, `slot`\n- Purpose: Theme-controlled PowerPoint slide background. The slot is resolved through the active color scheme and remains theme-aware.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `type` | yes | `const:\"theme\"` | Theme-controlled background fill. |\n| `slot` | yes | `ref:ThemeBackgroundSlot` |  |\n\n\n### SolidBackground\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: `type`, `color`\n- Purpose: Fixed solid slide background fill.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `type` | yes | `const:\"solid\"` | Fixed solid background fill. |\n| `color` | yes | `ref:ColorRef` | Fixed solid fill color: a hex string, a color-scheme slot or role name, or a var:<id> variable reference (a ColorRef, resolved against the effective color scheme and the deck variables). Use { type: 'theme', slot: ...... |\n| `opacity` | no | `number` | Background opacity from 0 (fully transparent) to 1 (fully opaque). |\n\n\n### GradientBackground\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: `type`, `gradient`\n- Purpose: Fixed gradient slide background fill.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `type` | yes | `const:\"gradient\"` | Fixed gradient background fill. |\n| `gradient` | yes | `object` | Gradient fill definition. |\n| `opacity` | no | `number` | Background opacity from 0 (fully transparent) to 1 (fully opaque). |\n\n\n### ImageBackground\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: `type`, `src`\n- Purpose: Picture background: the image fills the whole canvas behind everything and never moves content (to push content aside, use an image block with placement). The string shorthand 'asset:x' (or any image source) is { type: 'image', src: 'asset:x' }, a cover image. Paint order: the colour scheme's default slide background, the picture, then the overlay, then furniture and content.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `type` | yes | `const:\"image\"` | Picture background. |\n| `src` | yes | `string` | Source for the background image: an 'asset:<id>' reference, HTTPS URL, data URI, or a relative path resolved against the OPF file location. |\n| `alt` | no | `string` | Alternative text. A background with alt is meaningful: PowerPoint export draws it as a full-slide picture at the back that carries the text, so screen readers see it. Without alt it is decorative and exports as the na... |\n| `fit` | no | `enum:cover \\| contain \\| stretch \\| tile` | How the picture fills the canvas: 'cover' fills it and crops what overflows around focus; 'contain' shows the whole picture centered over the colour scheme's default background; 'stretch' scales it to the canvas exact... |\n| `focus` | no | `ref:ImageFocus` | Point of the picture to keep in view when 'cover' crops it. Ignored by the other fits. |\n| `opacity` | no | `number` | Picture opacity from 0 (fully transparent) to 1 (fully opaque); the overlay keeps its own opacity. Default 1. |\n| `recolor` | no | `ref:ImageRecolor` | Grayscale or duotone treatment of the picture's pixels, as on an image block: recolor and opacity apply to the pixels, then the overlay is drawn above. |\n| `overlay` | no | `ref:Overlay` | Scrim over the whole picture or a band along one edge (edge, size), beneath furniture and content, for example to keep a title readable over a busy photo. |\n\n\n### ImageFocus\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: `x`, `y`\n- Purpose: A point of a picture as fractions of its width and height, from the top-left corner. A cover fit centers this point in the frame as far as the picture still covers the frame, so it always stays in view: { x: 0.5, y: 0.5 } (the default) is a center crop, { x: 0, y: 0 } keeps the top-left corner.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `x` | yes | `number` | Horizontal position, 0 (left edge) to 1 (right edge). |\n| `y` | yes | `number` | Vertical position, 0 (top edge) to 1 (bottom edge). |\n\n\n### Overlay\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: `color`, `opacity`\n- Purpose: Solid scrim over a picture: the whole frame in the frame's shape, or a band along one edge. Shared by image backgrounds and image blocks. Drawn directly above its picture and beneath headings and content; PowerPoint export writes one native shape above the picture.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `color` | yes | `ref:ColorRef` | Overlay fill color: a hex color (eight-digit hex keeps its alpha), a color-scheme slot or role name, or a 'var:<id>' variable reference. |\n| `opacity` | yes | `number` | Overlay fill opacity. |\n| `edge` | no | `enum:top \\| bottom \\| left \\| right` | Cover only a band along this edge of the frame, for example a caption strip. Backgrounds and rectangle image frames only; on another shape the overlay is not drawn and composition reports unsupported-image-treatment.... |\n| `size` | no | `number` | Band share of the frame for an edge overlay. Default 0.3. Ignored without edge. |\n\n\n### ImagePlacement\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: `edge`\n- Purpose: Bleeds an image block to one edge of the slide: the image takes a band along that edge, edge to edge, and the headings and other content compose in the rest of the slide at the normal padding. Only top-level blocks (slides.N.blocks.I) can be placed, at most one per edge; a layout's image placeholder may carry the same placement for the slide's image. Bands are taken in block order, each spanning the free area left by earlier ones. Placement is the only mechanism that moves content aside; a ba...\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `edge` | yes | `enum:left \\| right \\| top \\| bottom` | The slide edge the image bleeds to. |\n| `size` | no | `number` | Share of the slide width (left, right) or height (top, bottom) given to the band. Default 0.5. |\n| `inset` | no | `boolean` | Draw the frame inside the slide padding on every side of the band, like a card, instead of edge to edge. Default false. |\n\n\n### ImageBorder\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: `color`, `width`\n- Purpose: Solid line along the image frame's shape, centered on the outline with a miter join, like a native picture line. A thick dark border on a rounded portrait frame gives a device bezel.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `color` | yes | `ref:ColorRef` | Line color: a hex color, a color-scheme slot or role name, or a 'var:<id>' variable reference. |\n| `width` | yes | `number` | Line width in reference pixels at a 720-pixel short edge. 0 removes the line. |\n\n\n### ImageRecolor\n\n- Type: `oneOf:const:\"grayscale\" / object`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: Color treatment for the image pixels. Luminance uses Rec. 601 weights (0.299, 0.587, 0.114) on sRGB values.\n\n_No named properties._\n\n\n### PatternBackground\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: `type`, `pattern`\n- Purpose: Fixed pattern slide background fill.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `type` | yes | `const:\"pattern\"` | Fixed pattern background fill. |\n| `pattern` | yes | `object` | Pattern fill definition. |\n| `opacity` | no | `number` | Background opacity from 0 (fully transparent) to 1 (fully opaque). |\n\n\n### OrganizationLogo\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: An organization's logo in up to four shapes. Each shape is a path or Asset, or { onLight, onDark } for the two backgrounds. A missing shape falls back to full, and full to the first defined of wordmark, stacked and icon; within a shape a missing onLight or onDark uses the other. Shapes are placed with slide-scoped references such as 'var:organization.logo.icon'.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `full` | no | `ref:LogoSource` | The full logo (lockup): mark and name side by side. Drawn on cover and section slides, and placed by 'var:organization.logo'. |\n| `stacked` | no | `ref:LogoSource` | The stacked lockup: mark above the name, for portrait or square slots. Placed by 'var:organization.logo.stacked'. |\n| `icon` | no | `ref:LogoSource` | The mark or symbol without the name, for tight spaces such as header and footer zones and picture bullets. Placed by 'var:organization.logo.icon'. |\n| `wordmark` | no | `ref:LogoSource` | The name set in the brand's lettering, without the mark. Placed by 'var:organization.logo.wordmark'. |\n\n\n### LogoSource\n\n- Type: `oneOf:ref:Asset / object`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: One logo shape: a path or Asset for every background, or { onLight, onDark }. onLight is drawn on light backgrounds (usually dark artwork) and onDark on dark backgrounds (usually light artwork), by each slide's background; a missing one uses the other.\n\n_No named properties._\n\n\n### Watermark\n\n- Type: `oneOf:schema / schema`\n- Required fields: `opacity`\n- Purpose: Decorative watermark: an image ('src') or a text stamp ('text'), exactly one of the two, with its opacity. An image is drawn once per slide, contained and centered in a fixed frame (the middle 40% of the slide width and height, from 30% to 70% on each axis). A text watermark is one line of text in the heading font and the theme text color at the given opacity, centered on the slide and rotated 30 degrees counterclockwise (rising to the right), sized to span at most 70% of the slide width and...\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `src` | no | `string` | Source for the watermark image: an 'asset:<id>' reference, HTTPS URL, data URI, relative path or local path, as for Asset.src. Exactly one of src and text is set. |\n| `text` | no | `string` | Text for a text watermark, such as DRAFT or CONFIDENTIAL; line breaks are drawn as spaces. Exactly one of src and text is set. |\n| `opacity` | yes | `number` | Watermark opacity from 0 (fully transparent) to 1 (fully opaque). |\n\n\n### HeaderFooter\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: Repeated header or footer content split into left, center, and right zones. Header/footer content is slide furniture, separate from the main slide content payloads.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `left` | no | `ref:HeaderFooterItem` | Left-aligned header/footer content. |\n| `center` | no | `ref:HeaderFooterItem` | Centered header/footer content. |\n| `right` | no | `ref:HeaderFooterItem` | Right-aligned header/footer content. |\n\n\n### HeaderFooterItem\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: One header/footer zone. Every configured field renders, side by side in one row in the order image, text, socials, date (mirrored in a right-to-left deck), aligned to the zone's edge (left, center or right) and vertically centered on each other; a line break inside text or socials ('\\n') stacks lines within that part. When the parts are wider than the zone their text wraps, and a row that cannot fit even so is reported as overflow. Generated values such as the slide number, the slide count, t...\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `text` | no | `string` | Text rendered in this zone. Variables resolve inside it like any string: deck-wide ones ('{{organization.name}}', '{{speaker.name}}, {{speaker.title}}', '{{customer}}') before composition, and the slide-scoped built-i... |\n| `image` | no | `ref:Asset` | Image rendered first in this zone's row, such as a logo, partner mark, certification badge, or icon: a path, URL or Asset, or an organization logo reference ('var:organization.logo.icon', 'var:organization.<id>.logo.w... |\n| `date` | no | `oneOf:boolean / string` | true renders the current date: the renderer or exporter must be given an explicit ISO date by its host (core never reads a clock). PPTX export writes a native date field only for a supported dateFormat whose complete... |\n| `dateFormat` | no | `string` | Date pattern for date. Tokens: yyyy (2026), yy (26), MMMM (April), MMM (Apr), MM (04), M (4), dd (09), d (9), EEEE (Thursday), EEE (Thu). Text in single quotes and other non-letter characters are literal. Month and we... |\n| `socials` | no | `boolean` | Whether to render the primary organization's social profiles from organization.socials, one line per platform in key order. A handle is formatted through the platform's socialPlatforms record (companyUrlPattern, else... |\n\n\n### Slide\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: A single slide. Content can be authored as a full-slide root payload, or inside promoted named region keys such as 'left', 'center+right', and 'top:left'.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `id` | no | `string` | Optional stable identifier for the slide within the document. Use when another system needs to reference a slide across edits, comments, generation state, exports, or narrative tooling. Slide order is defined by the s... |\n| `type` | no | `enum:text \\| list \\| image \\| chart \\| table \\| video \\| code \\| metric \\| quote \\| timeline` | Optional full-slide content kind. When omitted, engines infer the kind from root payload fields. |\n| `beat` | no | `oneOf:string / array<string>` | Optional reference to one or more beats of the deck's narrative (each value is the id of a beat in the narrative record that the root 'narrative' resolves to). A single string declares the slide's primary beat; an arr... |\n| `layout` | no | `ref:CatalogReference` | Optional layout: a layouts reference, a bare id ('title-subtitle') or 'name:id' ('acme:hero'). When omitted, the slide is composed with no layout record: engines arrange title, subtitle, tag and content automatically,... |\n| `title` | no | `oneOf:string / array<ref:TextRun>` | Slide-level title content. When the resolved layout exposes a 'title' placeholder, the engine renders this value there. Use a string for plain text or TextRun[] for inline rich text (a colored word, bold, a link, a ci... |\n| `subtitle` | no | `oneOf:string / array<ref:TextRun>` | Slide-level subtitle or supporting line.

How the picture fills its frame: 'cover' fills it and crops what overflows around focus; 'contain' shows the whole picture centered; 'stretch' scales it to the frame exactly. Default: the effectiv... |\n| `focus` | no | `ref:ImageFocus` | Image payloads only. Point of the picture to keep in view when 'cover' crops it. Ignored by the other fits. |\n| `aspectRatio` | no | `number` | Image payloads only. Width-to-height ratio of the frame: the frame becomes the largest centered box with this ratio inside the block's region, for example 2.39 for a cinematic letterbox or 0.5 for a phone-shaped frame... |\n| `shape` | no | `enum:rectangle \\| rounded \\| circle \\| hexagon` | Image payloads only. Mask applied to the frame, exported as the picture's native preset geometry (rect, roundRect, ellipse, hexagon). 'circle' makes the frame square. Default 'rectangle'. |\n| `cornerRadius` | no | `number` | Image payloads only. Corner radius for shape 'rounded' as a fraction of the frame's shorter side. Default 0.16667, PowerPoint's roundRect default. |\n| `border` | no | `ref:ImageBorder` | Image payloads only. Line along the frame's shape. |\n| `opacity` | no | `number` | Image payloads only. Picture opacity from 0 to 1, exported as a native alphaModFix. The border and overlay keep their own opacity. Default 1. |\n| `recolor` | no | `ref:ImageRecolor` | Image payloads only. Grayscale or duotone treatment of the picture's pixels. |\n| `overlay` | no | `ref:Overlay` | Image payloads only. Scrim over the picture in the frame's shape, or a band along one edge of a rectangle frame. |\n| `placement` | no | `ref:ImagePlacement` | Image payloads only, and only on a top-level block (slides.N.blocks.I), at most one per edge. Bleeds the image to one slide edge; the headings and the other blocks compose in the rest of the slide. |\n| `video` | no | `ref:Asset` | Source for a video item. Engines do not play video: the preview draws a placeholder (a play badge with the asset's title or source as its caption), and PPTX export draws the same placeholder as native shapes linked to... |\n| `chart` | no | `ref:Chart` | Chart payload. Presence of this field infers type 'chart'. |\n| `table` | no | `ref:Table` | Table payload. Presence of this field infers type 'table'. |\n| `code` | no | `oneOf:string / ref:Code` | Code payload. A string is shorthand for { \"source\": value }; object form carries optional syntax language and filename metadata. |\n| `metric` | no | `oneOf:string / number / ref:Metric` | Metric payload. A string or number is shorthand for { \"value\": value }; object form carries optional label, description, unit, delta, trend, and sentiment metadata. Numeric values remain numbers; renderers format them... |\n| `quote` | no | `oneOf:string / ref:Quote` | Quote payload. A string is shorthand for { \"text\": value }; object form carries optional attribution, role, photo and source metadata. |\n| `timeline` | no | `ref:Timeline` | Timeline payload ordered by narrative or chronology. |\n| `caption` | no | `ref:Caption` | Caption for an image, chart, table or video payload, composed inside the block's region (below the media by default). Invalid on other payload kinds and on groups. |\n| `blocks` | no | `array<ref:ContentPayload>` | Ordered children of a group. Each child is a leaf or another group. |\n| `composition` | no | `ref:Composition` | Arrangement within this group. Only minFontSize and overflow inherit from the parent; strict overflow cannot be weakened. |\n\n\n### Quote\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: `text`\n- Purpose: Quote content with optional attribution metadata. Use 'text' for the quoted text, 'attribution' for the credited person or organization, 'role' for that person's title and organization, 'photo' for their headshot and 'source' for a citation or URL. A string value in a quote field is shorthand for { \"text\": value }.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `text` | yes | `oneOf:string / array<ref:TextRun>` | Quoted text: a string, or TextRun[] for inline rich text (a colored phrase, bold, a link, or a citation or footnote marker). The engine draws the surrounding quotation marks. |\n| `attribution` | no | `string` | Person or organization credited for the quote. Drawn after the quote text, in the muted text color. |\n| `role` | no | `string` | Title and organization of the attributed person. Drawn on its own line under the attribution; without an attribution it stands alone. It does not replace the attribution, so the person's name belongs in 'attribution'. |\n| `photo` | no | `ref:Asset` | Headshot of the attributed person, drawn as a circle beside the attribution and role lines (on the end side in a right-to-left deck). Give it alt text (validate's opf/missing-alt-text rule checks it). A raster photogr... |\n| `source` | no | `string` | Optional quote source, citation, or URL. Follows the attribution and role after ' - '. |\n\n\n### Code\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: `source`\n- Purpose: Code content with optional rendering metadata. Use 'source' for the code text, 'language' for syntax highlighting, 'filename' when the rendered block should show a file label, and 'highlight' to emphasize lines. A string value in a code field is shorthand for { \"source\": value }.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `source` | yes | `string` | Source code text to display. |\n| `language` | no | `string` | Language identifier used for syntax highlighting. |\n| `filename` | no | `string` | Optional file label shown with the code block. |\n| `highlight` | no | `array<oneOf:integer / array<integer>>` | Source lines to emphasize, 1-based: each entry is a line number or an inclusive [start, end] range, so [3, [5, 7]] marks lines 3 and 5 to 7. Lines are counted by line break in 'source', so a line that wraps stays one... |\n\n\n### Metric\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: `value`\n- Purpose: Metric content with optional display metadata. Use 'value' for the primary value, 'label' for the metric name, 'description' for supporting context, 'unit' for a suffix/currency marker, 'delta' for change, 'trend' for direction, and 'sentiment' for whether the change is good news. A string or number value in a metric field is shorthand for { \"value\": value }; numeric values remain numbers and are formatted by renderers.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `value` | yes | `oneOf:string / number` | Primary metric value. |\n| `label` | no | `string` | Metric label. |\n| `description` | no | `string` | Optional supporting context for the metric. |\n| `unit` | no | `string` | Metric unit, suffix, or currency marker. |\n| `delta` | no | `oneOf:string / number` | Metric change value. |\n| `trend` | no | `enum:up \\| down \\| flat` | Metric trend direction. The preview and the PowerPoint export draw an arrow beside the trend word that always points the way the trend does (up, down or flat) and colour the arrow, the trend word and the delta text by... |\n| `sentiment` | no | `enum:positive \\| negative \\| neutral` | Whether the change is good news. Positive draws the trend arrow and the trend and delta text in green, negative in red and neutral in the neutral text colour, each kept at 4.5:1 contrast or more against the slide back... |\n\n\n### Timeline\n\n- Type: `oneOf:array<ref:TimelineEvent> / object`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: Timeline content. An array is shorthand for { \"events\": value }; object form carries optional name and description metadata.\n\n_No named properties._\n\n\n### TimelineEvent\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: `what`\n- Purpose: A single event inside a timeline content payload.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `when` | no | `string` | Event time, date, or sequence label. Use ISO-like values when possible, but human labels are allowed for quarters, eras, and relative milestones. |\n| `what` | yes | `string` | Short event label. |\n| `description` | no | `string` | Optional event detail. |\n| `status` | no | `enum:done \\| current \\| planned` | Progress of the event, drawn from the deck's own colors by both the SVG renderer and the PPTX exporter. Absent means no status and the event is drawn as a plain filled marker with normal text, which is also how 'done'... |\n\n\n### ListItem\n\n- Type: `oneOf:string / array<ref:TextRun> / object`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: A flat item inside a list. Strings cover the common case, TextRun[] supports inline rich text without an object wrapper, and object form adds description and nesting depth without creating nested slide content payloads.\n\n_No named properties._\n\n\n### BulletItem\n\n- Type: `oneOf:string / array<ref:TextRun> / object`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: A flat bullet item. Strings cover the common case, TextRun[] supports inline rich text without an object wrapper, and object form adds nesting depth without list-item descriptions.\n\n_No named properties._\n\n\n### NumberingStyle\n\n- Type: `enum:arabic | roman-upper | roman-lower | alpha-upper | alpha-lower`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: A list number style: 1, 2, 3; I, II, III; i, ii, iii; A, B, C; a, b, c. Alphabetic numbering past 26 repeats the letter as PowerPoint does (aa, bb, cc). Roman numerals stop at 3999; larger values are drawn in arabic with a numbering-adapted diagnostic.\n\n_No named properties._\n\n\n### Numbering\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: Numbering of one list level.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `style` | no | `ref:NumberingStyle` | Number style. Default arabic. |\n| `start` | no | `integer` | First number counted at this level. Default 1. Native PowerPoint accepts 1 to 32767. |\n| `suffix` | no | `enum:period \\| paren \\| paren-both` | Text after the number: period (1.), paren (1)) or paren-both ((1)). Default period. |\n\n\n### NumberingSpec\n\n- Type: `oneOf:ref:NumberingStyle / ref:Numbering / array<oneOf:ref:NumberingStyle / ref:Numbering>`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: The value of a numbering field: a style name or Numbering object for every level, or an array with one entry per level (at most 9, the native depth).\n\n_No named properties._\n\n\n### TextRun\n\n- Type: `oneOf:string / object`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: A contiguous run of text. Strings cover unformatted spans; object form adds character formatting.\n\n_No named properties._\n\n\n### Caption\n\n- Type: `oneOf:string / array<ref:TextRun> / object`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: A caption for an image, chart, table or video payload. A string or TextRun[] is the caption text placed below the media; object form adds the position and alignment.\n\n_No named properties._\n\n\n### Reference\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: `id`, `text`\n- Purpose: A source that runs cite with 'cite'. Cited references are listed in the footnote area of the slides that cite them, numbered per deck in order of first use; referencesSlide() builds an ordinary list slide of them.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `id` | yes | `string` | Identifier runs cite. Unique within the references list. |\n| `text` | yes | `oneOf:string / array<ref:TextRun>` | The reference as it is listed: a string or TextRun[] for inline rich text. |\n| `url` | no | `string` | Optional link for the reference; a references slide links its entry to it. |\n\n\n### Chart\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: `type`, `data`\n- Purpose: Chart content. The chart object keeps chart-specific fields together so slides and regions do not expose loose chart fields.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `type` | yes | `enum:100pct-stacked-area \\| 100pct-stacked-bar \\| 100pct-stacked-column \\| area \\| bar \\| box-and-whisker \\| column \\| combo \\| doughnut \\| filled-radar \\| funnel \\| histogram \\| line \\| line-with-markers \\| pareto \\| pie \\| radar \\| radar-with-markers \\| scatter \\| stacked-area \\| stacked-bar \\| stacked-column \\| stacked-line \\| stacked-line-with-markers \\| treemap \\| waterfall \\| world` | Chart type, an engine vocabulary validated directly (no catalog lookup): the chart types Aspose.Slides officially supports, plus 'combo' (clustered columns with line series, see 'line' and 'secondaryAxis'). Each engin... |\n| `data` | yes | `oneOf:ref:ChartData / ref:DatasetRef` | Chart data. Inline data uses a tabular columns/rows shape; renderers convert rows to chart series internally. A DatasetRef ({ \"dataset\": \"<id>\" }) plots a top-level dataset instead. Data from a spreadsheet or file is... |\n| `mapping` | no | `ref:ChartMapping` | Optional series mapping by column name: which column is the category, which is the X column of a scatter chart, and which columns are plotted, in order. Absent keeps the positional rule (first column the category, the... |\n| `line` | no | `array<string>` | Combo charts only (type 'combo'): the plotted series, by column name, that are drawn as lines with markers; every other plotted series is drawn as clustered columns. Absent: the last plotted series is the line. A comb... |\n| `secondaryAxis` | no | `array<string>` | Combo charts only: line series, by column name, plotted against a secondary value axis at the right of the plot. That axis has its own scale, and its tick labels use the number format of the first secondary series' co... |\n| `axisTitles` | no | `ref:ChartAxisTitles` | Optional axis titles. Absent keeps today's untitled axes. Supported on the chart types that have a category/value (or X/Y) axis pair (column, bar, line, area, scatter, and the histogram, pareto, waterfall and box-and-... |\n| `legend` | no | `enum:none \\| top \\| bottom \\| left \\| right` | Optional legend position. 'none' hides the legend. Absent keeps today's behaviour exactly (a legend at the right of multi-series charts and of pie and doughnut charts, none for single-series charts). A named position... |\n| `dataLabels` | no | `oneOf:boolean / ref:ChartDataLabels` | Optional data labels. true shows value labels at each type's default position, false (or absent) shows none, which is today's behaviour. Use the object form for the label content, position and separator. |\n| `alt` | no | `string` | Text alternative for the chart: what the data shows (the point and the key numbers), not 'a chart' or 'bar chart'. The preview exposes it as the chart's accessible name (role img with aria-label) and the PowerPoint ex... |\n| `highlight` | no | `ref:ChartHighlight` | Optional emphasis: the series and/or categories that carry the message. The engines draw the highlighted marks in the deck's primary (accent) color and every other mark in a muted neutral derived from the theme (a lig... |\n\n\n### ChartAxisTitles\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: Titles for the axes of a chart. 'category' is the axis that carries the row labels (the horizontal axis of a column or line chart, the vertical axis of a bar chart, the X axis of a scatter chart); 'value' is the other axis; 'secondary' is the secondary value axis of a combo chart.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `category` | no | `string` | Title of the category (X) axis. |\n| `value` | no | `string` | Title of the value (Y) axis. On a combo chart, the primary (left) value axis. |\n| `secondary` | no | `string` | Combo charts only: title of the secondary value axis at the right of the plot, drawn rotated like the primary value axis title. Dropped with a 'chart-option-adapted' diagnostic on any other chart type and on a combo c... |\n\n\n### ChartHighlight\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: Which series and categories a chart emphasizes. Names are matched exactly: series by data column name (after any 'fields' selection; a series is a plotted value column), categories by row label (the first column, or mapping.category), as text. A category label shared by several rows highlights each of them.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `series` | no | `array<string>` | Series (value columns) to highlight: all marks of each named series. A name that is not a column is a 'chart-highlight-unknown-name' error; a column that is not plotted as a series (the category or X column, or one ma... |\n| `categories` | no | `array<string>` | Categories (row labels) to highlight: the marks of each named category (a column or bar of every series, a line's points, a pie or doughnut slice). A label no row has is a 'chart-highlight-unknown-name' error. |\n\n\n### ChartDataLabels\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: Data label settings. A label shows the selected content parts in the fixed order category, value, percent, joined by the separator.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `content` | no | `array<enum:value \\| percent \\| category>` | Which parts a label shows. Defaults to ['value']. 'percent' is the share of the total and exists only on pie and doughnut charts; 'category' shows the category name (the X value on a scatter chart). A part a chart typ... |\n| `position` | no | `enum:auto \\| center \\| inside-end \\| inside-base \\| outside-end \\| above \\| below \\| left \\| right` | Where a label sits relative to its mark. 'auto' (the default) is the type's default: outside-end for clustered columns and bars, pie slices and the histogram, pareto and waterfall constructs; center for stacked column... |\n| `separator` | no | `string` | Text between the parts of a label that shows more than one. Defaults to ', '. |\n\n\n### Table\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: Table content, inline or dataset-backed. An inline table has 'rows' (required) and optional 'columns'. A dataset-backed table has 'dataset' (required) and optional 'fields', and no 'rows' or 'columns': it takes its headers, rows and column formats from the dataset (per-cell styles need an inline table).\n- Conditional requirement: `dataset`, or otherwise `rows`\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `columns` | no | `array<oneOf:string / array<ref:TextRun> / ref:StyledTableCell / ref:DataColumn / null>` | Optional column labels. Labels may be strings, rich runs, styled cell objects or DataColumn objects ({ \"name\", \"format\" }). A header's 'format' (DataColumn or StyledTableCell) is the column's number format; a body cel... |\n| `rows` | no | `array<array<ref:TableCell>>` | Two-dimensional table row data; each row aligns by index with columns when columns are supplied. |\n| `dataset` | no | `ref:DatasetId` | Id of a top-level dataset that supplies this table's headers, rows and column formats. Excludes 'rows' and 'columns'. An unknown id is a 'dataset-unknown' error. |\n| `fields` | no | `ref:DatasetFields` | Dataset tables only: the dataset columns to show, by name and in order. Absent shows every column. An unknown name is a 'dataset-field-unknown' error. |\n| `alt` | no | `string` | Text alternative for the table: what it shows (the point and the key numbers), not 'a table'. The preview exposes it as the table's accessible name (role group with aria-label; the cells stay readable) and the PowerPo... |\n\n\n### ChartData\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: `columns`, `rows`\n- Purpose: Inline tabular data driving a chart. The first column usually supplies category/x-axis labels; subsequent columns are plotted measures unless 'chart.mapping' or a chart type maps them differently. Value cells are numbers; a string is read only in strict decimal syntax ('12', '-3.5', '1e6'), and anything else ('12%', '$5', '(5)', '1,234') is a gap and a 'chart-value-not-numeric' warning.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `columns` | yes | `array<oneOf:string / ref:DataColumn>` | Ordered column labels for the chart data table. A label is a string or a DataColumn ({ \"name\", \"format\" }) whose number format the data labels, value axis and exported workbook use. |\n| `rows` | yes | `array<array<ref:ChartDataCell>>` | Tabular chart rows. Each row aligns by index with columns. |\n| `source` | no | `ref:DataSourceRef` | Optional provenance: where this inline data came from. Engines never read, fetch or refresh it; they keep it through editing, export and re-import. |\n\n\n### DataColumn\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: `name`\n- Purpose: A named data column with an optional number format. Anywhere a chart or dataset column is a string it may be a DataColumn; the string form is { \"name\": value } with no format. A table column header may also be a DataColumn.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `name` | yes | `string` | Column label, used as the series name, the table header and the name 'fields' and 'chart.mapping' address. |\n| `format` | no | `ref:NumberFormat` | Number format of the column's number values (data labels, value axis, table cells, exported workbook). Absent: the General form. |\n\n\n### DataSourceRef\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: `src`\n- Purpose: Provenance of inline data or a dataset: the file, sheet and range it came from and when. Engines never read, fetch or refresh it; they keep it through editing, export and re-import. Re-import the data to update it.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `src` | yes | `string` | Where the data came from: an 'asset:<id>' reference, a URL, or a relative or local path. |\n| `sheet` | no | `string` | Sheet or table name inside a spreadsheet source. |\n| `range` | no | `string` | A1-style range inside a spreadsheet source. |\n| `fields` | no | `array<string>` | The source fields the data was taken from, in order. |\n| `retrieved` | no | `anyOf:schema / schema` | When the data was taken from the source: an ISO 8601 date or date-time. |\n| `description` | no | `string` | Free-form note about the source. |\n\n\n### DatasetId\n\n- Type: `string`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: Id of an entry in the top-level datasets map (the assets id pattern).\n\n_No named properties._\n\n\n### DatasetFields\n\n- Type: `array<string>`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: Dataset column names to use, in order, each at most once. Selects and orders the dataset's columns; an unknown name is a 'dataset-field-unknown' error.\n\n_No named properties._\n\n\n### Datasets\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: Shared data tables keyed by id (the assets id pattern). Charts reference one with 'chart.data': { \"dataset\": \"<id>\" } and tables with 'table': { \"dataset\": \"<id>\" }.\n\n_No named properties._\n\n\n### Dataset\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: `columns`, `rows`\n- Purpose: One shared data table: named columns (strings or DataColumn objects with a number format) and rows of scalar cells. Column names are unique ('data-column-duplicate' error). Rich text and styling belong in an inline table.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `title` | no | `string` | Human name of the dataset, shown by editors. |\n| `description` | no | `string` | What the dataset holds. |\n| `columns` | yes | `array<oneOf:string / ref:DataColumn>` | Ordered, uniquely named columns. |\n| `rows` | yes | `array<array<ref:ChartDataCell>>` | Rows of scalar cells (string, number, boolean, null); each row aligns by index with columns. |\n| `source` | no | `ref:DataSourceRef` | Optional provenance. Engines never read, fetch or refresh it. |\n\n\n### DatasetRef\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: `dataset`\n- Purpose: Chart data taken from a top-level dataset. Engines inline it before plotting; 'chart.mapping' names columns after the 'fields' selection.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `dataset` | yes | `ref:DatasetId` | Id of the dataset. An unknown id is a 'dataset-unknown' error. |\n| `fields` | no | `ref:DatasetFields` | The dataset columns to use, by name and in order. Absent uses every column. |\n\n\n### ChartMapping\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: Series mapping by column name (after any 'fields' selection). Mapping only selects and orders columns; pie, doughnut and other single-series constructs still plot one series. An unknown name is a 'chart-mapping-unknown-column' error; a series that repeats the category or X column, and an X column on a chart type without an X axis, are dropped with a 'chart-mapping-adapted' warning.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `category` | no | `string` | The label (category) column. Default: the first column. |\n| `x` | no | `string` | The X column of an XY (scatter) chart. Default: the second column (the first, when the category is the second column), and only when there are three or more columns: with two, the second column is the one series, plot... |\n| `series` | no | `array<string>` | The plotted columns, in order. Default: every column that is not the category or the X column. |\n\n\n### ChartDataCell\n\n- Type: `oneOf:string / number / boolean / null`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: A cell in inline chart data.\n\n_No named properties._\n\n\n### TableCell\n\n- Type: `oneOf:ref:TableCellValue / ref:StyledTableCell`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: A scalar, rich-run array, or styled/spanning cell object. Existing scalar and rich forms remain valid.\n\n_No named properties._\n\n\n### TableCellValue\n\n- Type: `oneOf:string / number / boolean / null / array<ref:TextRun>`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: A scalar table value or canonical rich text runs, without cell decoration or geometry.\n\n_No named properties._\n\n\n### StyledTableCell\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: `value`\n- Purpose: A cell with explicit visual style or merged geometry. Its position remains its array column index; use null placeholders for every covered grid position.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `value` | yes | `ref:TableCellValue` | Editable cell content; styling and spans do not change its scalar type or rich runs. |\n| `style` | no | `ref:TableCellStyle` |  |\n| `colSpan` | no | `integer` | Number of grid columns covered, starting at this cell. Covered positions must contain null. Default 1. |\n| `rowSpan` | no | `integer` | Number of grid rows covered, starting at this cell. Covered positions must contain null. Header cells cannot span into body rows. Default 1. |\n| `format` | no | `ref:NumberFormat` | Number format. On a body cell it formats that cell's number value (and wins over the column's format); on a header cell (in 'columns') it is the column's format, the same as a DataColumn header. Strings, booleans, nul... |\n\n\n### TableCellStyle\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: Cell appearance. Sizes use reference pixels at a 720-pixel canvas short edge and scale with the slide.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `fill` | no | `ref:ColorRef` | Cell background: a hex color, a color-scheme slot or role name, or a 'var:<id>' variable reference. Eight-digit hex colors include alpha; #00000000 is transparent. |\n| `color` | no | `ref:ColorRef` | Default text color, overridden by individual rich run colors. Accepts a hex color, a color-scheme slot or role name, or a 'var:<id>' variable reference. |\n| `align` | no | `enum:left \\| center \\| right` | Horizontal text alignment inside the cell. |\n| `verticalAlign` | no | `enum:top \\| middle \\| bottom` | Vertical alignment inside the padded cell box. |\n| `padding` | no | `ref:TableCellPadding` |  |\n| `borders` | no | `object` | Independent cell edges. Omitted edges retain the table theme border; width 0 removes an edge. |\n\n\n### TableCellPadding\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: Text insets in reference pixels.

Eight-digit hex colors include alpha; #00000000 is transparent. |\n| `width` | yes | `number` | Border width in reference pixels; 0 removes this edge. |\n| `dash` | no | `enum:solid \\| dash \\| dot` | Default solid. |\n\n\n### Catalogs\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: The catalog records a document embeds, grouped by the catalog they came from. Each property is a group; inside a group, records are keyed by kind and then by id. - 'default': the catalog bare ids come from. It needs a 'source' when it holds records. Omitted: bare ids fall back to the host's default catalog. false: no catalog fallback, so every bare id must be embedded (under 'custom' or 'default'). - 'custom': the records the document defines itself. It has no source. - any other name ('acme'...\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `default` | no | `oneOf:allOf:ref:CatalogGroup + schema / const:false` | The catalog bare ids come from: its source and the records of it this document embeds. false turns off the catalog fallback for bare ids. |\n| `custom` | no | `allOf:ref:CatalogGroup + schema` | Records the document defines itself, referenced by bare id. Checked first for every bare id. Forking a catalog record copies it here under a new id, so the change of ownership is visible. |\n\n\n### CatalogGroup\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: One catalog group: the catalog's source and the records of it the document embeds, by kind and then by id.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `source` | no | `ref:CatalogSource` |  |\n| `layouts` | no | `ref:CatalogRecords` | Layout records keyed by id, each with the fields of https://openpresentation.org/schema/opf-layout/v1. Referenced from Slide.layout. |\n| `themes` | no | `ref:CatalogRecords` | Theme records keyed by id, each with the fields of https://openpresentation.org/schema/opf-theme/v1. Referenced from design.theme. |\n| `colorSchemes` | no | `ref:CatalogRecords` | Colour-scheme records keyed by id, each with the fields of https://openpresentation.org/schema/opf-color-scheme/v1. Referenced from design.colorScheme and a theme's colorScheme. |\n| `fontSchemes` | no | `ref:CatalogRecords` | Font-scheme records keyed by id, each with the fields of https://openpresentation.org/schema/opf-font-scheme/v1. Referenced from design.fontScheme, a theme's fontScheme and a language's font schemes. |\n| `narratives` | no | `ref:CatalogRecords` | Narrative records keyed by id, each with the fields of https://openpresentation.org/schema/opf-narrative/v1. Referenced from narrative. |\n| `audiences` | no | `ref:CatalogRecords` | Audience records keyed by id, each with the fields of https://openpresentation.org/schema/opf-audience/v1. Referenced from audience. |\n| `purposes` | no | `ref:CatalogRecords` | Purpose records keyed by id, each with the fields of https://openpresentation.org/schema/opf-purpose/v1. Referenced from purpose. |\n| `tones` | no | `ref:CatalogRecords` | Tone records keyed by id, each with the fields of https://openpresentation.org/schema/opf-tone/v1. Referenced from tone. |\n\n\n### CatalogSource\n\n- Type: `string`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: Identity of a catalog: an HTTPS URL ('https://www.pptx.gallery') or a package reference ('pkg:@acme/opf-catalog'). It names the catalog; engines never fetch or install it. A host registers the catalog's records under this exact string, and copying slides between documents matches groups by it.\n\n_No named properties._\n\n\n### CatalogRecords\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: Embedded records of one kind, keyed by id. The key is the record's id; an embedded record carries no '$schema', 'id', origin or digest. Catalog display metadata ('x-*' members) is stripped when a record is embedded.\n\n_No named properties._\n\n\n### CatalogReference\n\n- Type: `string`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: A content reference: a bare id ('two-column') or 'name:id' ('acme:hero'), where the prefix names a group of 'catalogs'. URLs and 'pkg:' strings are not references; a named catalog group replaces them. See Catalogs for the resolution order.\n\n_No named properties._\n\n\n### LanguageTag\n\n- Type: `string`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: A BCP-47 language tag ('en-US', 'ja', 'zh-Hans', 'sr-Latn-ME'), an engine vocabulary. Use 'en-GB' for UK English; 'en-UK' is not a valid region.\n\n_No named properties._\n\n\n### Composition\n\n- Type: `object`\n- Required fields: none\n- Purpose: Portable dynamic composition. Slide fields override the resolved layout. Nested groups (content groups here, placeholder groups in a layout record) arrange their children independently, inheriting only minFontSize and overflow. Explicit promoted regions retain their positions.\n\n| Field | Required | Type | Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `mode` | no | `enum:auto \\| grid \\| row \\| column` | auto chooses a grid from available space and content; grid uses columns; row and column use one horizontal or vertical track. |\n| `columns` | no | `integer` | Column count for grid. In auto mode this caps the number of columns. |\n| `gap` | no | `number` | Space between cells as a fraction of the container short edge (canvas at slide root). Default 0.03333333333333333. |\n| `padding` | no | `number` | Inset as a fraction of the container short edge. Default 0.08 on a slide, 0 inside a group. |\n| `weights` | no | `array<number>` | Relative track sizes: columns for row/grid/auto, rows for column. Omitted tracks have weight 1; extra weights are ignored. |\n| `minFontSize` | no | `number` | Minimum readable text size in reference pixels at a 720-pixel canvas short edge. Default 16. Overflow is diagnosed when text cannot fit at this size. |\n| `overflow` | no | `enum:warn \\| error` | warn returns diagnostics for content that does not fit; error rejects layout. Content is never silently removed. Default warn. |\n"

The deck's own `duration` is reported next to it, not compared to it.\n- **Images.** `content` counts image payloads (slide root, blocks, regions, placed or not). Alt text follows the `asset:` references to the registry. An alt text that is empty (`alt: \"\"`) is *decorative*, the explicit choice `opf validate` accepts; no alt, or only whitespace, is *missing*. Logos, watermarks and image backgrounds are decorative or brand assets by nature and are counted separately, not as content images.\n- **Assets.** A source starting `asset:` is a registry reference, `data:` is embedded, `http(s):` (and `pkg:`) is remote, anything else is a file (a relative path resolved against the OPF file, or a local path). `embeddedBytes` is the decoded size of `data:` URIs (exact for base64). A chart that takes its data from an external source counts that source as a use; a `source` on inline data or a dataset is provenance, never read, and is not a use.\n- **Fonts.** Families come from the font schemes in effect (the deck's, and a slide's own scheme or theme), inline scheme records, and `fontFamily` on runs, resolved the way every engine resolves them. A scheme that names no `code` role does not add a code family.\n\n## What stats leaves out\n\nEverything in the schema that is presentation detail rather than a countable or present fact is left out; the deck itself has it: text run formatting (bold, colour, size), list numbering styles, chart styling (axis titles, legend, data labels, series mapping), table cell styles and spans, `composition` hints, design preferences such as alignment, `contentBox`, `contentDirection`, `chartPrimary`, `imageFit`, `listBullet`, image treatments and placement, solid and gradient backgrounds, the individual `Language`, `Tone` and `Audience` record fields, and the contents of `extensions`.

A variable is a typed, named value a deck declares once and uses in many places. A template is an ordinary OPF document that declares variables, references them from its content, and leaves some of them unfilled. Filling a template (a function call, `opf fill`, or the editor\'s Fill template panel) returns a normal deck. A template plus its values previews and exports exactly like the hand-written deck it stands for, because every engine resolves variables with one core function before it composes anything.\n\nDecisions in this document are vetoable. They are collected in [Decisions](#decisions); each says what was chosen and what the alternative would cost.\n\n## At a glance\n\n```json\n{\n  "template": true,\n  "name": "Quarterly review for {{client}}",\n  "variables": {\n    "client":  { "type": "text",   "label": "Client", "example": "Acme Corp" },\n    "revenue": { "type": "number", "format": "$#,##0", "example": 1250000 },\n    "kickoff": { "type": "date",   "example": "2026-10-01" },\n    "wins":    { "type": "list",   "example": ["Faster onboarding", "Lower churn"] },\n    "logo":    { "type": "image",  "required": false },\n    "risk":    "#B42318"\n  },\n  "slides": [\n    { "id": "cover", "title": "Quarterly review: {{client}}", "subtitle": "Kickoff {{kickoff}}", "image": "var:logo" },\n    { "id": "wins", "title": "Wins", "bullets": ["Revenue {{revenue}}", "var:wins"] },\n    { "id": "chart", "title": "Revenue", "chart": { "type": "column", "data": { "columns": ["Quarter", "Revenue"], "rows": [["This quarter", "var:revenue"]] } } }\n  ]\n}\n```\n\n```sh\nopf fill quarterly.opf.json --data clients.csv --out-dir decks     # one deck per CSV row\nopf fill quarterly.opf.json --data one.json --output globex.opf.json\n```\n\n```js\nimport { resolveVariables, validate } from \'@openpresentation/opf\';\n\nvalidate(template);                      // valid: { template: true, unfilledVariables: [...] }\nconst { presentation, diagnostics } = resolveVariables(template, { client: \'Globex\', revenue: 1250000, kickoff: \'2026-10-01\', wins: [\'Shipped v2\'] });\n// presentation is a concrete deck: validate(presentation).valid === true\n```\n\nA fuller template (rich text, an optional image, a link, a percentage) with matching values is in [fixtures/template-quarterly-review.opf.json](fixtures/template-quarterly-review.opf.json) and [fixtures/template-quarterly-review.values.json](fixtures/template-quarterly-review.values.json); a test fills it, validates the result and previews it from its examples.\n\n## Variable kinds\n\nA variable is declared in the root `variables` map, keyed by a kebab-case id (`^[a-z][a-z0-9-]*$`). The value is a hex string (shorthand for a color variable, unchanged from before) or an object whose `type` selects the kind.\n\n| Kind | `value` / `example` | Inline `{{id}}` | Whole field `var:id` |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `color` | hex color | the hex text | the existing color path (see below) |\n| `text` | string, or `TextRun[]` for rich text | the text (rich text is flattened) | the string or the runs |\n| `number` | finite number | formatted with `format` | the number itself |\n| `date` | ISO `YYYY-MM-DD` | formatted with `format` (default `MMMM d, yyyy`) | the ISO string |\n| `image` | any [Asset](schema-reference.md#asset): `asset:<id>`, HTTPS URL, data URI, path, or `{src, alt, ...}` | the source string | the string or the Asset object |\n| `url` | `http`, `https`, `mailto` or `tel` link | the link | the link |\n| `list` | array of strings | entries joined with `, ` (or `{{id\\|sep}}`) | the array; as an array element it splices |\n\nEvery object variable may also carry `label` (short form label), `description`, `required` (default `true`), and `example`.\n\n- `value` is the current value. A variable with a `value` is filled; supplying a value to `resolveVariables` or `opf fill` overrides it.\n- `example` only illustrates the slot. Fill forms show it as a placeholder, and previews of a template use it (see [Previews](#previews-and-export)). It never reaches a filled deck.\n- `required: false` makes a variable optional. An unfilled optional variable resolves to empty text inline, and a field that references it as `var:id` is omitted.\n- `format` (number and date only) is the display pattern used by `{{id}}`.\n\nColor variables are unchanged: `"risk": "#B42318"` or `{ "type": "color", "value": "#B42318" }`, referenced as `var:risk` in color fields, resolved at render time by `resolveColorRef`. The only addition is that a color variable can now be filled or overridden like the others.\n\n### Number formats\n\nA pattern is an optional literal prefix, a numeric part of `#`, `0`, `,` and `.`, and an optional literal suffix. `0` pads digits, `#` is optional, a comma groups thousands, the digits after the point fix the decimals (`0` required, `#` optional), and a `%` in the prefix or suffix scales by 100. Rounding is half away from zero in decimal (`1.005` with `0.00` is `1.01`). Separators are English. With no pattern a number prints in its shortest decimal form.\n\n| Pattern | Value | Result |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| `#,##0` | `1234567` | `1,234,567` |\n| `$#,##0.00` | `-1234.5` | `-$1,234.50` |\n| `0.#%` | `0.256` | `25.6%` |\n| `#,##0.0M` | `12.34` | `12.3M` |\n\n### Date formats\n\nDates are calendar dates, never instants: no clock, no time zone. The pattern uses the same LDML-style tokens as header and footer `dateFormat` (`yyyy`, `yy`, `MMMM`, `MMM`, `MM`, `M`, `dd`, `d`, `EEEE`, `EEE`, quoted literals) with fixed English names. `2026-10-01` with `dd MMM yyyy` is `01 Oct 2026`.\n\n## Using a variable\n\nTwo forms, one rule each.\n\n**Inline token `{{id}}`.** Inside any string of the document. The string keeps its other characters, so `"Revenue {{revenue}} for {{client}}"` is one string with two substitutions. A token may name a one-off format after a pipe: `{{kickoff|dd MMM yyyy}}`, `{{revenue|0.0}}`, `{{wins|; }}` (the list separator). Whitespace inside the braces is ignored (`{{ client }}`). The result is always text.\n\n**Whole-field reference `var:id`.** A string that is exactly `var:<id>` is replaced by the variable\'s typed value: a number in a chart cell, an Asset object in `image`, the runs of a rich text variable in a `text` field, the entries of a list variable in `bullets`. Inside an array, a list variable splices its entries in place (`["first", "var:wins", "last"]`). Color variables keep their existing meaning in color fields.\n\nWhich fields can use variables is decided by the schema of the *resolved* deck, not by a field list: any string value of the document, wherever it sits (titles, notes, run text and links, table cells, chart data, metric values, image sources, asset registry entries, even code), can carry a token or a reference. If the substituted value does not fit the field (a list in a title), validation of the resolved deck reports it with the field\'s path.\n\n**Escaping.** Write `\\{{` for a literal `{{` (in JSON, `"\\\\{{"`). Only that sequence is special. A token whose id is not declared is left as written, and the validator warns when the deck uses variables (`\'{{ghost}}\' names no declared variable`).\n\n**Rich text.** A `text` variable whose value is `TextRun[]` keeps its runs through a whole-field reference in any field that accepts string or `TextRun[]`: `"text": "var:greeting"`, and the slide `"title"`, `"subtitle"`, `"tag"` and a quote\'s `"text"` (FA-10). A `{{id}}` token inside a heading run resolves like one in a body run. Inside a larger string it is flattened to plain text with an informational `variable-rich-flattened` diagnostic. To style an inline value, put the token in a run: `{ "text": "{{client}}", "bold": true }`.\n\n**Untouched content.** `extensions`, inline `catalogs`, `$schema`, and the declarations themselves are never searched.\n\n**Compatibility.** A deck that declares no content variable, uses no built-in variable (the slide-scoped ones included) and is not a template is resolved by identity: nothing is searched, `{{` and `\\{{` in its text keep their meaning (a Handlebars snippet in a code block is safe), and its color variables behave as before. Escapes are only processed in a deck that uses content or built-in variables.\n\n## Built-in variables\n\nBuilt-ins are read-only variables that come from the deck\'s own metadata, so a cover can say `{{speaker.name}}, {{speaker.title}} \xB7 {{organization.name}}` without declaring anything. Their names are dotted. A user-defined id matches `^[a-z][a-z0-9-]*` and never contains a dot, so a built-in can never collide with a user variable. (The one built-in without a dot, `speakers`, is a reserved id: declaring a variable named `speakers` is a validation error.)\n\n| Built-in | Kind | Source |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| `deck.name`, `deck.description` | text | root `name`, `description` |\n| `deck.author` | text | root `author` (an array is joined with `, `) |\n| `speaker.name`, `.title`, `.email`, `.phone`, `.bio` | text | the first speaker |\n| `speaker.photo` | image | the first speaker |\n| `speakers` | list | every speaker\'s name, in order |\n| `speaker.<id>.<field>` | as above | the speaker with that id |\n| `organization.name`, `.legalName`, `.tagline`, `.domain`, `.email`, `.phone` | text | the primary organization |\n| `organization.logo` | image | the primary organization |\n| `organization.<id>.<field>` | as above | the organization with that id |\n| `slide.number` | text, slide-scoped | the displayed number of this slide in the rendered or exported deck, after pagination (a slide split in two shows two numbers) |\n| `slide.section` | text, slide-scoped | this slide\'s `section`; a slide without one resolves to empty text |\n| `deck.slideCount` | text, slide-scoped | the number of slides in the rendered or exported deck, after pagination |\n\nThe primary organization is the one with `role: \'primary\'`, else the first (the rule the deck logo and the `socials` furniture field use). The speaker and organization fields may be an object or an array. A two-segment name (`speaker.name`) always means the first speaker or the primary organization; a three-segment name (`speaker.ada.name`) addresses an entry by its `id`.\n\nThey use the two forms above and work wherever the same kind of user variable works: `{{speaker.name}}` inside any string (`{{speakers|; }}` takes a separator, like any list), and `var:speaker.photo` or `var:organization.logo` as a whole field. `var:speakers` splices every name into an array.\n\n```json\n{\n  "speaker": { "id": "ada", "name": "Ada Lovelace", "title": "CTO", "photo": "asset:ada" },\n  "assets": { "ada": { "src": "./photos/ada.jpg", "mediaType": "image/jpeg" } },\n  "organization": { "id": "acme", "name": "Acme Corp", "tagline": "Build the future" },\n  "design": { "footer": { "left": { "text": "{{organization.tagline}}" } } },\n  "slides": [{ "id": "cover", "title": "Quarterly review", "subtitle": "{{speaker.name}}, {{speaker.title}} \xB7 {{organization.name}}", "image": "var:speaker.photo" }]\n}\n```\n\n- **Unknown path.** `{{speaker.nickname}}`, `var:organization.nobody.name`, `{{deck.owner}}` or `{{slide.title}}` is a validation error (`variable-unknown-builtin`) and stays as written in a resolved deck. A `speaker.<id>` or `organization.<id>` path whose id does not exist is the same error.\n- **Known path, no source value.** The built-in resolves to an empty string (a whole-field reference is omitted) and validation warns (`variable-builtin-missing`), as for an unfilled optional variable.\n- **Templates.** A template preview (`examples: true`) uses the document\'s real metadata for built-ins. When the document has none, the token or reference stays visible, the way an unfilled variable with no example does. Filling the template for real resolves a missing built-in to nothing.\n- **Nested tokens.** A built-in text that itself carries a token (`"name": "Review for {{client}}"`) is resolved once; a built-in that refers back to itself stays as written.\n- **Not overridable.** `values` cannot set a built-in; change the document field instead.\n- **Resolved before composition,** like user variables, so every engine draws the same text (the slide-scoped three are the exception, below). `listBuiltinVariables(presentation)` returns each built-in with its kind, label, `scope` (`deck` or `slide`), current value, whether the document has a source value, and where it is used (pickers and agents; the editor\'s Fill template panel lists them read-only, the slide-scoped ones as "varies per slide").\n- The speaker and organization fields that are *not* built-ins are never drawn automatically: a speaker appears only through these variables, and `Organization.tagline`, `legalName`, `domain`, `email` and `phone` appear only through their built-ins.\n\n### Slide-scoped built-ins\n\n`{{slide.number}}`, `{{slide.section}}` and `{{deck.slideCount}}` (FA-31) depend on the slide being drawn and on the deck after pagination, so they resolve per output slide, at composition time, instead of in the deck-wide pass:\n\n- They work in any string of a slide (title, body text, runs, table cells, chart data, notes) and in header and footer `text`. They are inline tokens only: `var:slide.number`, any `var:slide.*` and `var:deck.slideCount` are `variable-unknown-builtin`, because every field that would take them is a string. `slide.` is a reserved prefix, so `{{slide.anything-else}}` is `variable-unknown-builtin`.\n- `resolveVariables` leaves them as written, also on a complete pass, and never reports them (`variable-unfilled` and `variable-unknown` do not apply). An escaped `\\{{slide.number}}` keeps its escape through that pass and draws as the literal text `{{slide.number}}`.\n- `resolveSlideVariables(slide, { slideNumber, slideCount })` returns a copy of one slide with the three substituted in every string, with the same walk and exclusions as `resolveVariables` (`extensions` is never searched; code follows the same rule as user tokens). `slide.section` reads the slide\'s own `section`. The slide\'s own `design.header` and `design.footer` are left to `layoutFurniture`.\n- Engines (renderer, PPTX exporter, editor preview) compose and draw `context.slide` from `resolveSlideContext(deck, index, { slideNumber, slideCount })`, which is that substituted slide for the same numbers `context.options` carries; an engine that builds its own options calls `resolveSlideVariables` per output slide with the `slideNumber` and `slideCount` it gives `composeSlide`. Text is therefore measured with the real value.\n- `layoutFurniture` substitutes them in each zone\'s `text` for the slide it lays out, and every `{{slide.number}}` adds a `slideNumber` entry to `FurnitureTextPart.fields`, so the PPTX exporter writes it as a native slide-number field. `{{deck.slideCount}}` and `{{slide.section}}` are fixed text (PowerPoint has no slide-count field). In body text every slide token is fixed text.\n- `paginate` measures with the substituted values but returns slides with the tokens kept, so its output stays a source document, and runs its slide-count fixed point whenever `{{deck.slideCount}}` appears in the deck.\n- Validation warns `variable-builtin-missing` at each slide that has no `section` but uses `{{slide.section}}`, in its own strings or in the header or footer it inherits from `design`.\n\nHeader and footer zones carry generated values only as variables in `text`, in the order the author writes them, with `\\n` between lines: `"{{organization.name}}"`, `"{{speaker.name}}, {{speaker.title}}"`, `"{{slide.section}}"`, `"{{slide.number}} / {{deck.slideCount}}"`. See [dynamic composition](dynamic-composition.md).\n\n## Templates\n\nA template is an OPF document that is allowed to be incomplete.\n\n- The root `template: true` marks it. Without the marker a deck is a normal deck.\n- Validation of a template reports instead of fails. `validate(doc)` returns `valid: true` with `template: true` and `unfilledVariables: [\'client\', ...]`, and one `opf/variable-unfilled` warning per unfilled variable. A normal deck with an unfilled required variable gets the same finding as an error (category `format`, so `validate(doc, { only: [\'format\'] })`, `assertValid` and every write command reject it).\n- Validation of a normal deck with an unfilled required variable is an error (`required variable \'client\' has no value`) at the declaration\'s path, so a half-filled deck can never be exported by accident.\n- Both are checked as the deck they would become: every variable is replaced by its value, its `example`, or a type sample (`Sample text`, `0`, `2000-01-01`, a placeholder image URL, one list entry), and the declarations stay. Errors therefore carry the source\'s own paths and a template is held to the whole schema: a `number` variable in a text field, a `date` value that is not a date, or a chart cell that resolves to a list are all reported.\n- `validate(doc, { template: true | false })` overrides the marker, and `validate(doc, { values })` fills before checking.\n- Unused variables warn (`declared but never used`), as do tokens naming undeclared ids.\n- A variable with a `value` is a default: filling overrides it, leaving it blank in a data row keeps it.\n\nA template is a normal OPF file for everything else: the editor opens it, `opf validate` and `opf edit` accept it, pagination and bundling work on it, and renderers preview it.\n\n### Placeholder content\n\n"Empty slots the author must fill" are required variables. There is no separate placeholder construct. A slide, block or field that should not exist unless supplied uses an optional variable (`required: false`): its `var:id` field is omitted when the variable is unfilled.\n\n## Resolution\n\n```ts\nresolveVariables(presentation, values?, options?) => {\n  presentation,   // the concrete deck\n  diagnostics,    // { code, severity, path, id, message }[]\n  unfilled,       // required variable ids with no value\n  examplesUsed,   // ids filled from their `example`\n  complete,       // unfilled.length === 0\n}\n```\n\nPure and deterministic: no clock, locale, time zone, network, file access or randomness, and no model call. The function never invents content. A variable\'s value comes from `values`, then from the declaration\'s `value`, and only with `options.examples` from its `example`. The input is never mutated; unchanged parts of it are shared with the result, so treat the result as immutable.\n\n| Option | Effect |\n| --- | --- |\n| `examples` | Use each unfilled variable\'s `example` (template previews). |\n| `partial` | Allow unfilled required variables (informational). Their tokens and references stay as written and their declarations stay in the output, so a second pass can finish the deck. |\n| `template` | Override the root marker: a template treats unfilled variables as informational. |\n| `strict` | Throw `OPFVariableError` when any diagnostic has severity `error`. |\n\nThe result of a complete pass:\n\n- Content variables are substituted and their declarations removed, so resolving the result again changes nothing (no double expansion, no re-interpreted `\\{{`).\n- Color variables keep their declarations and their `var:` references (the renderers and the exporter resolve them as before), with values from `values` or `example` written in.\n- The root `template` marker is removed.\n- The result validates as an ordinary deck.\n\nValues are coerced per kind, so data files work as they are: number accepts a finite number or a strict decimal string (`"1250000"`, not `"1,250,000"`); date accepts `YYYY-MM-DD` or an ISO date-time (the date part is kept, no zone conversion); list accepts an array, or a string split on newlines; text accepts a string, a number, a boolean or runs; image accepts a string or `{src}`; url accepts http, https, mailto and tel; color accepts hex. `null`, `undefined` and, for every kind but text, a blank string mean "not provided". A rejected value is an `error` diagnostic (`variable-invalid-value`) and falls back to the declaration. A value for an undeclared variable is a `variable-unknown-value` warning.\n\nDiagnostic codes: `variable-unfilled` (error in a deck, info in a template or partial fill), `variable-invalid-value`, `variable-format` (an unusable number or date pattern), `variable-unknown` (undeclared token), `variable-unknown-builtin`, `variable-builtin-missing`, `variable-unknown-value`, `variable-unused`, `variable-example-used`, `variable-rich-flattened`.\n\n`listVariables(presentation, values?)` returns each declaration with `filled` and every place it is used (`uses: [{ path, form: \'token\' | \'reference\' }]`). Fill forms, agents and the editor read it.\n\n## Previews and export\n\nThe renderer, the PPTX exporter and the editor call `resolveVariables` at their entry points, so preview and export agree on text, numbers, dates, images and lists:\n\n- `renderSvg`, `renderSlideSvg`, `resolvePresentation` and `toPptx` accept `variables` (the values) and resolve the deck first when it uses content variables or is a template. A deck without them is untouched, byte for byte.\n- A template is previewed and exported with each unfilled variable\'s `example`, and reports `variable-example-used` through `onDiagnostic` (PPTX) so the sample content is never silent. A variable with no example keeps its `{{id}}` text visible; nothing is made up.\n- A normal deck with an unfilled required variable is refused: `OPFRenderError` or `OPFPptxError` with code `unfilled-variables`.\n- `variables: false` draws the document as authored, tokens and `var:` references visible (the editor canvas\'s view of a template).\n- A core older than this feature (no `resolveVariables`) leaves variable-free decks working and rejects a deck that uses content variables at validation, as any unknown schema construct is rejected.\n\nThe PPTX file contains the resolved text. The template form is not stored in the package, so importing the PPTX returns the filled deck, not the template (see [Follow-ups](#follow-ups)).\n\n## Decks from data: `opf fill`\n\n```\nopf fill <template|-> [--data <values.json|data.csv|data.tsv|->] [--format csv|tsv|json]\n         [--delimiter <c>] [--no-header]\n         [--output <file|-> | --out-dir <dir> [--name <pattern>] | --combine --output <file|->]\n         [--partial] [--examples] [--force] [--fail-on <level>]\n```\n\n- **Records.** A JSON object is one record. A JSON array of objects, a CSV or TSV file, `{columns, rows}` and a row matrix give one record per row; CSV and TSV columns are matched to variable ids by header name. JSON keeps rich values (text runs, lists, Asset objects); CSV and TSV cells are strings that coerce per kind. A blank cell keeps the declared value.\n- **Outputs.** One record gives one deck (`--output`, default stdout). Several records need `--out-dir` (one `<name>.opf.json` per record; `--name` is a pattern with `{n}`, the zero-padded index, and `{column}`, a slug of that column\'s value; default `deck-{n}`) or `--combine` (one deck whose slides are the filled slides of every record in order, with repeated slide ids suffixed by the record index; deck-level fields come from the first record).\n- **Failure.** An unfilled required variable, a value of the wrong kind or an unusable format fails with exit code 1 and the offending record and variable, before any file is written. `--partial` allows unfilled variables and keeps their declarations; `--examples` fills them from their example.\n- **Overlap with `import-data`.** `import-data` turns tabular data into a table or chart *content* payload and shares the same CSV/TSV/JSON parser. `fill` maps rows onto *variables* of a deck the author designed. They compose: a chart whose rows come from a data file stays `import-data`; a chart cell that varies per client is a `var:` reference.\n- Relative image paths in data are written as given, so they resolve against the OPF file\'s final location. Prefer HTTPS URLs, data URIs, `asset:` ids or absolute paths in data files, or write decks next to their images.\n\n## Editor\n\nThe editor package exposes the fill model (`@openpresentation/opf-editor/templates`) and a **Fill template** panel (`/template-panel`, mounted by the playground): variables listed with typed inputs (text, multi-line text, number, date, color, URL, list, and an image source with file upload or `asset:` pick), required and filled state, where each is used, a live preview that re-resolves on every change, and a count of unfilled variables. Inserting a variable token into a text field (declaring a new variable in the same edit when asked) is an edit through the session, so it validates and undoes like any other. Filling replaces the document with the concrete deck as one undoable edit. The canvas draws a template as authored (renderer option `variables: false`), so tokens stay visible and an inline edit never overwrites one; the panel\'s preview draws the resolved deck. See the editor README.\n\n## Decisions\n\nEach is vetoable; the alternative says what changing it would cost.\n\n1. **Token syntax `{{id}}` with ids matching the existing variable id pattern.** Familiar from Mustache, Handlebars and Jinja, readable in JSON, and not a valid identifier in prose. Alternatives: `${id}` (collides with template literals in code), `[[id]]`, dotted paths such as `{{client.name}}` for user variables (no nesting exists in the variable model; nested records are a follow-up). Dotted names are reserved for the [built-in variables](#built-in-variables), which is why a user id can never contain a dot.\n2. **Escape `\\{{`.** One rule with one sequence. `{{{{` doubling was rejected because it is ambiguous next to a real token.\n3. **Whole-field `var:id` carries typed values; inline `{{id}}` always makes text.** One reason each: a chart cell needs a number, a title needs a string. `var:` already existed for colors.\n4. **No `{ "var": "id" }` TextRun form.** Tokens inside a run\'s `text` give the same styling (`{ "text": "{{client}}", "bold": true }`) without a schema change to `TextRun`, and rich values travel through `var:id`. A second form would double the surface every consumer must handle.\n5. **Kinds: color, text, number, date, image, url, list.** `boolean` and nested record or table kinds are not included: no field consumes a boolean, and per-row structure belongs to `import-data` and the follow-up `repeat` construct.\n6. **A root `template: true` marker plus a `validate` option**, not an implied notion ("has unfilled variables"). An explicit marker keeps the strictness for normal decks (an unfilled variable cannot slip through) and survives in the file for editors and the gallery.\n7. **`value` is both the default and the current value; `example` is only illustration.** A third `default` field was rejected as redundant. `required` defaults to `true`.\n8. **Undeclared tokens stay literal.** Existing decks with `{{` in text, or code samples, are never altered.\n9. **Content declarations are consumed by resolution; color declarations stay.** Idempotence and backward compatibility respectively.\n10. **Renderers and the exporter call `resolveVariables`** (rather than require resolved input), so the editor can pass its in-progress values straight to the preview. Templates preview with examples; decks with unfilled required variables are refused at export.\n11. **No template provenance in PPTX in this release.** The package stores the resolved deck. Re-import returns the filled deck. Storing the template form needs a provenance part and a re-import path; recorded as a follow-up.\n12. **`opf fill`: a deck per record, plus `--combine`; no `repeat` construct yet.** A slide marked `repeat` (one instance per row inside one deck, with shared slides emitted once) is the natural next step but needs a schema addition and a per-record scope; `--combine` covers "one slide group per record" without it.\n13. **English number and date formats only.** Separators and names are fixed so output never depends on host locale; a `locale` field is a follow-up.\n14. **Optional unfilled variables vanish; required ones never do.** The resolver does not guess a replacement for a missing value.\n\n15. **Built-ins are dotted and read from the document, not declared, and per-slide values are slide-scoped built-ins (FA-31, owner decision 2026-10-09).** A dot can never appear in a user id, so there is no collision rule to learn. The cost is one non-dotted name, `speakers`, which is reserved. `{{slide.number}}`, `{{slide.section}}` and `{{deck.slideCount}}` resolve per output slide at composition time (`resolveSlideVariables`, `layoutFurniture`), and a furniture `{{slide.number}}` keeps the native PPTX field, so headers and footers need no flags and no second template syntax (the 0.16 `organization`, `speaker`, `section`, `slideNumber` and `slideNumberFormat` keys and `{current}`/`{total}` are removed). Alternative: keep per-field booleans, which fix the order of values in a zone and duplicate the built-ins.\n16. **A missing built-in source resolves to nothing with a warning (previews of a template keep the token).** An unknown path is an error because it is a typo, not missing data.\n\n## Limits\n\n- A variable\'s own `value` is taken literally: a token inside a value (`{{other}}`) is not expanded, so variables do not refer to each other.\n- Variables are not computed: no arithmetic, conditionals or loops. A deck that needs them generates its data upstream.\n- A variable cannot change structure beyond splicing a list into an array and omitting an optional field. Which slides exist is the author\'s choice (or `opf fill`\'s per-record decks).\n- Variables that point at relative image paths depend on where the filled file is saved.\n- Schema support is not fidelity: the renderer and exporter lay out the resolved deck, so a long substituted value can overflow like any long authored value. Check the filled deck with the usual composition diagnostics.\n\n## Follow-ups\n\n- A `repeat` slide construct and per-record scoping for one-deck-many-records fills.\n- Template provenance in PPTX export (re-import returns the template), and importing a PowerPoint deck with `{{id}}` tokens as a template.\n- Locale-aware number and date formats; conditional visibility of a block.\n- pptx.gallery: a template gallery and "use this template" flow; the gallery\'s examples gain optional variables.\n- Image variables backed by a host asset picker in hosts other than the playground.\n- A JSON Schema for a template\'s values file, generated from `listVariables`, for agents and form builders.\n'
+    "markdown": '# Templates and variables\n\n> A template is just an incomplete OPF file. (Owner intent, 2026-10-01.)\n\nThis is the design and the reference for OPF variables and templates (release readiness item RR-32). A variable is a typed, named value a deck declares once and uses in many places. A template is an ordinary OPF document that declares variables, references them from its content, and leaves some of them unfilled. Filling a template (a function call, `opf fill`, or the editor\'s Fill template panel) returns a normal deck. A template plus its values previews and exports exactly like the hand-written deck it stands for, because every engine resolves variables with one core function before it composes anything.\n\nDecisions in this document are vetoable. They are collected in [Decisions](#decisions); each says what was chosen and what the alternative would cost.\n\n## At a glance\n\n```json\n{\n  "template": true,\n  "name": "Quarterly review for {{client}}",\n  "variables": {\n    "client":  { "type": "text",   "label": "Client", "example": "Acme Corp" },\n    "revenue": { "type": "number", "format": "$#,##0", "example": 1250000 },\n    "kickoff": { "type": "date",   "example": "2026-10-01" },\n    "wins":    { "type": "list",   "example": ["Faster onboarding", "Lower churn"] },\n    "logo":    { "type": "image",  "required": false },\n    "risk":    "#B42318"\n  },\n  "slides": [\n    { "id": "cover", "title": "Quarterly review: {{client}}", "subtitle": "Kickoff {{kickoff}}", "image": "var:logo" },\n    { "id": "wins", "title": "Wins", "bullets": ["Revenue {{revenue}}", "var:wins"] },\n    { "id": "chart", "title": "Revenue", "chart": { "type": "column", "data": { "columns": ["Quarter", "Revenue"], "rows": [["This quarter", "var:revenue"]] } } }\n  ]\n}\n```\n\n```sh\nopf fill quarterly.opf.json clients.csv decks/deck-{n}.opf.json     # one deck per CSV row\nopf fill quarterly.opf.json one.json globex.opf.json\n```\n\n```js\nimport { resolveVariables, validate } from \'@openpresentation/opf\';\n\nvalidate(template);                      // valid: { template: true, unfilledVariables: [...] }\nconst { presentation, diagnostics } = resolveVariables(template, { client: \'Globex\', revenue: 1250000, kickoff: \'2026-10-01\', wins: [\'Shipped v2\'] });\n// presentation is a concrete deck: validate(presentation).valid === true\n```\n\nA fuller template (rich text, an optional image, a link, a percentage) with matching values is in [fixtures/template-quarterly-review.opf.json](fixtures/template-quarterly-review.opf.json) and [fixtures/template-quarterly-review.values.json](fixtures/template-quarterly-review.values.json); a test fills it, validates the result and previews it from its examples.\n\n## Variable kinds\n\nA variable is declared in the root `variables` map, keyed by a kebab-case id (`^[a-z][a-z0-9-]*$`). The value is a hex string (shorthand for a color variable, unchanged from before) or an object whose `type` selects the kind.\n\n| Kind | `value` / `example` | Inline `{{id}}` | Whole field `var:id` |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `color` | hex color | the hex text | the existing color path (see below) |\n| `text` | string, or `TextRun[]` for rich text | the text (rich text is flattened) | the string or the runs |\n| `number` | finite number | formatted with `format` | the number itself |\n| `date` | ISO `YYYY-MM-DD` | formatted with `format` (default `MMMM d, yyyy`) | the ISO string |\n| `image` | any [Asset](schema-reference.md#asset): `asset:<id>`, HTTPS URL, data URI, path, or `{src, alt, ...}` | the source string | the string or the Asset object |\n| `url` | `http`, `https`, `mailto` or `tel` link | the link | the link |\n| `list` | array of strings | entries joined with `, ` (or `{{id\\|sep}}`) | the array; as an array element it splices |\n\nEvery object variable may also carry `label` (short form label), `description`, `required` (default `true`), and `example`.\n\n- `value` is the current value. A variable with a `value` is filled; supplying a value to `resolveVariables` or `opf fill` overrides it.\n- `example` only illustrates the slot. Fill forms show it as a placeholder, and previews of a template use it (see [Previews](#previews-and-export)). It never reaches a filled deck.\n- `required: false` makes a variable optional. An unfilled optional variable resolves to empty text inline, and a field that references it as `var:id` is omitted.\n- `format` (number and date only) is the display pattern used by `{{id}}`.\n\nColor variables are unchanged: `"risk": "#B42318"` or `{ "type": "color", "value": "#B42318" }`, referenced as `var:risk` in color fields, resolved at render time by `resolveColorRef`. The only addition is that a color variable can now be filled or overridden like the others.\n\n### Number formats\n\nA pattern is an optional literal prefix, a numeric part of `#`, `0`, `,` and `.`, and an optional literal suffix. `0` pads digits, `#` is optional, a comma groups thousands, the digits after the point fix the decimals (`0` required, `#` optional), and a `%` in the prefix or suffix scales by 100. Rounding is half away from zero in decimal (`1.005` with `0.00` is `1.01`). Separators are English. With no pattern a number prints in its shortest decimal form.\n\n| Pattern | Value | Result |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| `#,##0` | `1234567` | `1,234,567` |\n| `$#,##0.00` | `-1234.5` | `-$1,234.50` |\n| `0.#%` | `0.256` | `25.6%` |\n| `#,##0.0M` | `12.34` | `12.3M` |\n\n### Date formats\n\nDates are calendar dates, never instants: no clock, no time zone. The pattern uses the same LDML-style tokens as header and footer `dateFormat` (`yyyy`, `yy`, `MMMM`, `MMM`, `MM`, `M`, `dd`, `d`, `EEEE`, `EEE`, quoted literals) with fixed English names. `2026-10-01` with `dd MMM yyyy` is `01 Oct 2026`.\n\n## Using a variable\n\nTwo forms, one rule each.\n\n**Inline token `{{id}}`.** Inside any string of the document. The string keeps its other characters, so `"Revenue {{revenue}} for {{client}}"` is one string with two substitutions. A token may name a one-off format after a pipe: `{{kickoff|dd MMM yyyy}}`, `{{revenue|0.0}}`, `{{wins|; }}` (the list separator). Whitespace inside the braces is ignored (`{{ client }}`). The result is always text.\n\n**Whole-field reference `var:id`.** A string that is exactly `var:<id>` is replaced by the variable\'s typed value: a number in a chart cell, an Asset object in `image`, the runs of a rich text variable in a `text` field, the entries of a list variable in `bullets`. Inside an array, a list variable splices its entries in place (`["first", "var:wins", "last"]`). Color variables keep their existing meaning in color fields.\n\nWhich fields can use variables is decided by the schema of the *resolved* deck, not by a field list: any string value of the document, wherever it sits (titles, notes, run text and links, table cells, chart data, metric values, image sources, asset registry entries, even code), can carry a token or a reference. If the substituted value does not fit the field (a list in a title), validation of the resolved deck reports it with the field\'s path.\n\n**Escaping.** Write `\\{{` for a literal `{{` (in JSON, `"\\\\{{"`). Only that sequence is special. A token whose id is not declared is left as written, and the validator warns when the deck uses variables (`\'{{ghost}}\' names no declared variable`).\n\n**Rich text.** A `text` variable whose value is `TextRun[]` keeps its runs through a whole-field reference in any field that accepts string or `TextRun[]`: `"text": "var:greeting"`, and the slide `"title"`, `"subtitle"`, `"tag"` and a quote\'s `"text"` (FA-10). A `{{id}}` token inside a heading run resolves like one in a body run. Inside a larger string it is flattened to plain text with an informational `variable-rich-flattened` diagnostic. To style an inline value, put the token in a run: `{ "text": "{{client}}", "bold": true }`.\n\n**Untouched content.** `extensions`, inline `catalogs`, `$schema`, and the declarations themselves are never searched.\n\n**Compatibility.** A deck that declares no content variable, uses no built-in variable (the slide-scoped ones included) and is not a template is resolved by identity: nothing is searched, `{{` and `\\{{` in its text keep their meaning (a Handlebars snippet in a code block is safe), and its color variables behave as before. Escapes are only processed in a deck that uses content or built-in variables.\n\n## Built-in variables\n\nBuilt-ins are read-only variables that come from the deck\'s own metadata, so a cover can say `{{speaker.name}}, {{speaker.title}} \xB7 {{organization.name}}` without declaring anything. Their names are dotted. A user-defined id matches `^[a-z][a-z0-9-]*` and never contains a dot, so a built-in can never collide with a user variable. (The one built-in without a dot, `speakers`, is a reserved id: declaring a variable named `speakers` is a validation error.)\n\n| Built-in | Kind | Source |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| `deck.name`, `deck.description` | text | root `name`, `description` |\n| `deck.author` | text | root `author` (an array is joined with `, `) |\n| `speaker.name`, `.title`, `.email`, `.phone`, `.bio` | text | the first speaker |\n| `speaker.photo` | image | the first speaker |\n| `speakers` | list | every speaker\'s name, in order |\n| `speaker.<id>.<field>` | as above | the speaker with that id |\n| `organization.name`, `.legalName`, `.tagline`, `.domain`, `.email`, `.phone` | text | the primary organization |\n| `organization.<id>.<field>` | as above | the organization with that id |\n| `organization.logo`, `organization.logo.<shape>` | image, slide-scoped | the primary organization\'s logo, `full` or the named shape (`stacked`, `icon`, `wordmark`), for the slide\'s background ([below](#organization-logos)) |\n| `organization.<id>.logo`, `organization.<id>.logo.<shape>` | image, slide-scoped | the logo of the organization with that id |\n| `slide.number` | text, slide-scoped | the displayed number of this slide in the rendered or exported deck, after pagination (a slide split in two shows two numbers) |\n| `slide.section` | text, slide-scoped | this slide\'s `section`; a slide without one resolves to empty text |\n| `deck.slideCount` | text, slide-scoped | the number of slides in the rendered or exported deck, after pagination |\n\nThe primary organization is the one with `role: \'primary\'`, else the first (the rule the cover logo and the `socials` furniture field use). The speaker and organization fields may be an object or an array. A two-segment name (`speaker.name`) always means the first speaker or the primary organization; a three-segment name (`speaker.ada.name`) addresses an entry by its `id`.\n\nThey use the two forms above and work wherever the same kind of user variable works: `{{speaker.name}}` inside any string (`{{speakers|; }}` takes a separator, like any list), and `var:speaker.photo` as a whole field. `var:speakers` splices every name into an array.\n\n```json\n{\n  "speaker": { "id": "ada", "name": "Ada Lovelace", "title": "CTO", "photo": "asset:ada" },\n  "assets": { "ada": { "src": "./photos/ada.jpg", "mediaType": "image/jpeg" } },\n  "organization": { "id": "acme", "name": "Acme Corp", "tagline": "Build the future", "logo": { "full": "./assets/acme-logo.svg", "icon": "./assets/acme-mark.svg" } },\n  "design": { "footer": { "left": { "image": "var:organization.logo.icon", "text": "{{organization.tagline}}" } } },\n  "slides": [{ "id": "cover", "title": "Quarterly review", "subtitle": "{{speaker.name}}, {{speaker.title}} \xB7 {{organization.name}}", "image": "var:speaker.photo" }]\n}\n```\n\n- **Unknown path.** `{{speaker.nickname}}`, `var:organization.nobody.name`, `{{deck.owner}}` or `{{slide.title}}` is a validation error (`variable-unknown-builtin`) and stays as written in a resolved deck. A `speaker.<id>` or `organization.<id>` path whose id does not exist is the same error.\n- **Known path, no source value.** The built-in resolves to an empty string (a whole-field reference is omitted) and validation warns (`variable-builtin-missing`), as for an unfilled optional variable.\n- **Templates.** A template preview (`examples: true`) uses the document\'s real metadata for built-ins. When the document has none, the token or reference stays visible, the way an unfilled variable with no example does. Filling the template for real resolves a missing built-in to nothing.\n- **Nested tokens.** A built-in text that itself carries a token (`"name": "Review for {{client}}"`) is resolved once; a built-in that refers back to itself stays as written.\n- **Not overridable.** `values` cannot set a built-in; change the document field instead.\n- **Resolved before composition,** like user variables, so every engine draws the same text (the slide-scoped three are the exception, below). `listBuiltinVariables(presentation)` returns each built-in with its kind, label, `scope` (`deck` or `slide`), current value, whether the document has a source value, and where it is used (pickers and agents; the editor\'s Fill template panel lists them read-only, the slide-scoped ones as "varies per slide").\n- The speaker and organization fields that are *not* built-ins are never drawn automatically: a speaker appears only through these variables, and `Organization.tagline`, `legalName`, `domain`, `email` and `phone` appear only through their built-ins.\n\n### Slide-scoped built-ins\n\n`{{slide.number}}`, `{{slide.section}}` and `{{deck.slideCount}}` (FA-31) depend on the slide being drawn and on the deck after pagination, so they resolve per output slide, at composition time, instead of in the deck-wide pass:\n\n- They work in any string of a slide (title, body text, runs, table cells, chart data, notes) and in header and footer `text`. (The organization logos, [below](#organization-logos), are slide-scoped too, as whole image fields.) They are inline tokens only: `var:slide.number`, any `var:slide.*` and `var:deck.slideCount` are `variable-unknown-builtin`, because every field that would take them is a string. `slide.` is a reserved prefix, so `{{slide.anything-else}}` is `variable-unknown-builtin`.\n- `resolveVariables` leaves them as written, also on a complete pass, and never reports them (`variable-unfilled` and `variable-unknown` do not apply). An escaped `\\{{slide.number}}` keeps its escape through that pass and draws as the literal text `{{slide.number}}`.\n- `resolveSlideVariables(slide, { slideNumber, slideCount })` returns a copy of one slide with the three substituted in every string, with the same walk and exclusions as `resolveVariables` (`extensions` is never searched; code follows the same rule as user tokens). `slide.section` reads the slide\'s own `section`. The slide\'s own `design.header` and `design.footer` are left to `layoutFurniture`.\n- Engines (renderer, PPTX exporter, editor preview) compose and draw `context.slide` from `resolveSlideContext(deck, index, { slideNumber, slideCount })`, which is that substituted slide for the same numbers `context.options` carries; an engine that builds its own options calls `resolveSlideVariables` per output slide with the `slideNumber` and `slideCount` it gives `composeSlide`. Text is therefore measured with the real value.\n- `layoutFurniture` substitutes them in each zone\'s `text` for the slide it lays out, and every `{{slide.number}}` adds a `slideNumber` entry to `FurnitureTextPart.fields`, so the PPTX exporter writes it as a native slide-number field. `{{deck.slideCount}}` and `{{slide.section}}` are fixed text (PowerPoint has no slide-count field). In body text every slide token is fixed text.\n- `paginate` measures with the substituted values but returns slides with the tokens kept, so its output stays a source document, and runs its slide-count fixed point whenever `{{deck.slideCount}}` appears in the deck.\n- Validation warns `variable-builtin-missing` at each slide that has no `section` but uses `{{slide.section}}`, in its own strings or in the header or footer it inherits from `design`.\n\n### Organization logos\n\nLogos live on the organization (RR-71, OPF 0.18). `Organization.logo` is one path or Asset for every shape, or up to four shapes, each a path or Asset or `{ "onLight", "onDark" }`:\n\n```json\n"organization": [\n  { "id": "acme", "name": "Acme", "role": "primary",\n    "logo": { "full": { "onLight": "./assets/acme-logo.svg", "onDark": "./assets/acme-logo-white.svg" }, "icon": "./assets/acme-mark.svg" } },\n  { "id": "beta", "name": "Beta", "role": "partner", "logo": "./assets/beta.svg" }\n]\n```\n\n`onLight` is the artwork for light backgrounds (usually dark ink) and `onDark` the one for dark backgrounds. Plain file paths are the simplest source; an HTTPS URL, a data URI or an `asset:<id>` registry entry works too.\n\n- **Placing a logo.** A whole-field reference in any image field: `var:organization.logo` (the full logo), `var:organization.logo.full|stacked|icon|wordmark`, `var:organization.<id>.logo` and `var:organization.<id>.logo.<shape>` for another organization. A header or footer zone writes `"image": "var:organization.logo.icon"`; an image block or a slide `image` works the same way.\n- **Fallbacks.** A missing shape falls back to `full`, and `full` to the first defined of `wordmark`, `stacked` and `icon`. Within a shape a missing `onLight` or `onDark` uses the other.\n- **Slide-scoped.** The `onLight` or `onDark` asset follows each slide\'s background, so these references resolve per output slide, like `{{slide.number}}`: `resolveVariables` leaves them as written wherever a slide reaches them (slides, the deck\'s header and footer, `design.logo`), `resolveSlideVariables(slide, { slideNumber, slideCount, presentation, darkBackground })` and `resolveSlideContext` resolve them in a slide\'s fields, and `layoutFurniture` in zone images. Anywhere else (a deck watermark, say) no slide background applies and they resolve deck-wide, as on a light background. A reference to an organization without a logo omits the field, as an unfilled optional variable does.\n- **Whole fields only.** An inline `{{organization.logo}}` is `variable-unknown-builtin`, as are an unknown shape (`var:organization.logo.banner`) and an unknown organization id. A known organization without a logo is `variable-builtin-missing`.\n- **Covers and `design.logo`.** Cover and section slides draw the primary organization\'s full logo, and picture bullets its icon, with no reference at all. `design.logo` (deck or slide) is only an override: a reference such as `"var:organization.beta.logo"` or `"var:organization.logo.wordmark"` (a named shape wins everywhere the override applies), or `false` for no logo. See [design resolution](design-resolution.md#brand-assets-and-layout-hints).\n- `listBuiltinVariables` lists every logo and shape with kind `image` and scope `slide` (no `value`; `available` when the organization has a logo).\n\nHeader and footer zones carry generated values only as variables in `text`, in the order the author writes them, with `\\n` between lines: `"{{organization.name}}"`, `"{{speaker.name}}, {{speaker.title}}"`, `"{{slide.section}}"`, `"{{slide.number}} / {{deck.slideCount}}"`. See [dynamic composition](dynamic-composition.md).\n\n## Templates\n\nA template is an OPF document that is allowed to be incomplete.\n\n- The root `template: true` marks it. Without the marker a deck is a normal deck.\n- Validation of a template reports instead of fails. `validate(doc)` returns `valid: true` with `template: true` and `unfilledVariables: [\'client\', ...]`, and one `opf/variable-unfilled` warning per unfilled variable. A normal deck with an unfilled required variable gets the same finding as an error (category `format`, so `validate(doc, { only: [\'format\'] })`, `assertValid` and every write command reject it).\n- Validation of a normal deck with an unfilled required variable is an error (`required variable \'client\' has no value`) at the declaration\'s path, so a half-filled deck can never be exported by accident.\n- Both are checked as the deck they would become: every variable is replaced by its value, its `example`, or a type sample (`Sample text`, `0`, `2000-01-01`, a placeholder image URL, one list entry), and the declarations stay. Errors therefore carry the source\'s own paths and a template is held to the whole schema: a `number` variable in a text field, a `date` value that is not a date, or a chart cell that resolves to a list are all reported.\n- `validate(doc, { template: true | false })` overrides the marker, and `validate(doc, { values })` fills before checking.\n- Unused variables warn (`declared but never used`), as do tokens naming undeclared ids.\n- A variable with a `value` is a default: filling overrides it, leaving it blank in a data row keeps it.\n\nA template is a normal OPF file for everything else: the editor opens it, `opf validate` and `opf edit` accept it, pagination and bundling work on it, and renderers preview it.\n\n### Placeholder content\n\n"Empty slots the author must fill" are required variables. There is no separate placeholder construct. A slide, block or field that should not exist unless supplied uses an optional variable (`required: false`): its `var:id` field is omitted when the variable is unfilled.\n\n## Resolution\n\n```ts\nresolveVariables(presentation, values?, options?) => {\n  presentation,   // the concrete deck\n  diagnostics,    // { code, severity, path, id, message }[]\n  unfilled,       // required variable ids with no value\n  examplesUsed,   // ids filled from their `example`\n  complete,       // unfilled.length === 0\n}\n```\n\nPure and deterministic: no clock, locale, time zone, network, file access or randomness, and no model call. The function never invents content. A variable\'s value comes from `values`, then from the declaration\'s `value`, and only with `options.examples` from its `example`. The input is never mutated; unchanged parts of it are shared with the result, so treat the result as immutable.\n\n| Option | Effect |\n| --- | --- |\n| `examples` | Use each unfilled variable\'s `example` (template previews). |\n| `partial` | Allow unfilled required variables (informational). Their tokens and references stay as written and their declarations stay in the output, so a second pass can finish the deck. |\n| `template` | Override the root marker: a template treats unfilled variables as informational. |\n| `strict` | Throw `OPFVariableError` when any diagnostic has severity `error`. |\n\nThe result of a complete pass:\n\n- Content variables are substituted and their declarations removed, so resolving the result again changes nothing (no double expansion, no re-interpreted `\\{{`).\n- Color variables keep their declarations and their `var:` references (the renderers and the exporter resolve them as before), with values from `values` or `example` written in.\n- The root `template` marker is removed.\n- The result validates as an ordinary deck.\n\nValues are coerced per kind, so data files work as they are: number accepts a finite number or a strict decimal string (`"1250000"`, not `"1,250,000"`); date accepts `YYYY-MM-DD` or an ISO date-time (the date part is kept, no zone conversion); list accepts an array, or a string split on newlines; text accepts a string, a number, a boolean or runs; image accepts a string or `{src}`; url accepts http, https, mailto and tel; color accepts hex. `null`, `undefined` and, for every kind but text, a blank string mean "not provided". A rejected value is an `error` diagnostic (`variable-invalid-value`) and falls back to the declaration. A value for an undeclared variable is a `variable-unknown-value` warning.\n\nDiagnostic codes: `variable-unfilled` (error in a deck, info in a template or partial fill), `variable-invalid-value`, `variable-format` (an unusable number or date pattern), `variable-unknown` (undeclared token), `variable-unknown-builtin`, `variable-builtin-missing`, `variable-unknown-value`, `variable-unused`, `variable-example-used`, `variable-rich-flattened`.\n\n`listVariables(presentation, values?)` returns each declaration with `filled` and every place it is used (`uses: [{ path, form: \'token\' | \'reference\' }]`). Fill forms, agents and the editor read it.\n\n## Previews and export\n\nThe renderer, the PPTX exporter and the editor call `resolveVariables` at their entry points, so preview and export agree on text, numbers, dates, images and lists:\n\n- `toSvg`, `resolvePresentation` and `toPptx` accept `variables` (the values) and resolve the deck first when it uses content variables or is a template. A deck without them is untouched, byte for byte.\n- A template is previewed and exported with each unfilled variable\'s `example`, and reports `variable-example-used` through `onDiagnostic` (PPTX) so the sample content is never silent. A variable with no example keeps its `{{id}}` text visible; nothing is made up.\n- A normal deck with an unfilled required variable is refused: `OPFRenderError` or `OPFPptxError` with code `unfilled-variables`.\n- `variables: false` draws the document as authored, tokens and `var:` references visible (the editor canvas\'s view of a template).\n- A core older than this feature (no `resolveVariables`) leaves variable-free decks working and rejects a deck that uses content variables at validation, as any unknown schema construct is rejected.\n\nThe PPTX file contains the resolved text. The template form is not stored in the package, so importing the PPTX returns the filled deck, not the template (see [Follow-ups](#follow-ups)).\n\n## Decks from data: `opf fill`\n\n```\nopf fill <template|-> <data|-> [output|pattern] [--data-format csv|tsv|json]\n         [--delimiter <c>] [--no-header] [--combine]\n         [--partial] [--examples] [--from <format>] [--to <format>] [--force] [--fail-on <level>]\n```\n\n- **Records.** A JSON object is one record. A JSON array of objects, a CSV or TSV file, `{columns, rows}` and a row matrix give one record per row; CSV and TSV columns are matched to variable ids by header name. JSON keeps rich values (text runs, lists, Asset objects); CSV and TSV cells are strings that coerce per kind. A blank cell keeps the declared value.\n- **Outputs.** One record gives one deck (the output, default stdout). Several records need a file name pattern as the output (one file per record; `{n}` is the zero-padded index and `{column}` a slug of that column\'s value, so `decks/qbr-{client}.opf.md`; a repeated name gets `-2`, `-3`) or `--combine` (one deck whose slides are the filled slides of every record in order, with repeated slide ids suffixed by the record index; deck-level fields come from the first record).\n- **Failure.** An unfilled required variable, a value of the wrong kind or an unusable format fails with exit code 1 and the offending record and variable, before any file is written. `--partial` allows unfilled variables and keeps their declarations; `--examples` fills them from their example.\n- **Overlap with `ingest`.** `ingest` turns tabular data into a table or chart *content* payload and shares the same CSV/TSV/JSON parser. `fill` maps rows onto *variables* of a deck the author designed. They compose: a chart whose rows come from a data file stays `ingest`; a chart cell that varies per client is a `var:` reference.\n- Relative image paths in data are written as given, so they resolve against the OPF file\'s final location. Prefer HTTPS URLs, data URIs, `asset:` ids or absolute paths in data files, or write decks next to their images.\n\n## Editor\n\nThe editor package exposes the fill model (`@openpresentation/opf-editor/templates`) and a **Fill template** panel (`/template-panel`, mounted by the playground): variables listed with typed inputs (text, multi-line text, number, date, color, URL, list, and an image source with file upload or `asset:` pick), required and filled state, where each is used, a live preview that re-resolves on every change, and a count of unfilled variables. Inserting a variable token into a text field (declaring a new variable in the same edit when asked) is an edit through the session, so it validates and undoes like any other. Filling replaces the document with the concrete deck as one undoable edit. The canvas draws a template as authored (renderer option `variables: false`), so tokens stay visible and an inline edit never overwrites one; the panel\'s preview draws the resolved deck. See the editor README.\n\n## Decisions\n\nEach is vetoable; the alternative says what changing it would cost.\n\n1. **Token syntax `{{id}}` with ids matching the existing variable id pattern.** Familiar from Mustache, Handlebars and Jinja, readable in JSON, and not a valid identifier in prose. Alternatives: `${id}` (collides with template literals in code), `[[id]]`, dotted paths such as `{{client.name}}` for user variables (no nesting exists in the variable model; nested records are a follow-up). Dotted names are reserved for the [built-in variables](#built-in-variables), which is why a user id can never contain a dot.\n2. **Escape `\\{{`.** One rule with one sequence. `{{{{` doubling was rejected because it is ambiguous next to a real token.\n3. **Whole-field `var:id` carries typed values; inline `{{id}}` always makes text.** One reason each: a chart cell needs a number, a title needs a string. `var:` already existed for colors.\n4. **No `{ "var": "id" }` TextRun form.** Tokens inside a run\'s `text` give the same styling (`{ "text": "{{client}}", "bold": true }`) without a schema change to `TextRun`, and rich values travel through `var:id`. A second form would double the surface every consumer must handle.\n5. **Kinds: color, text, number, date, image, url, list.** `boolean` and nested record or table kinds are not included: no field consumes a boolean, and per-row structure belongs to `ingest` and the follow-up `repeat` construct.\n6. **A root `template: true` marker plus a `validate` option**, not an implied notion ("has unfilled variables"). An explicit marker keeps the strictness for normal decks (an unfilled variable cannot slip through) and survives in the file for editors and the gallery.\n7. **`value` is both the default and the current value; `example` is only illustration.** A third `default` field was rejected as redundant. `required` defaults to `true`.\n8. **Undeclared tokens stay literal.** Existing decks with `{{` in text, or code samples, are never altered.\n9. **Content declarations are consumed by resolution; color declarations stay.** Idempotence and backward compatibility respectively.\n10. **Renderers and the exporter call `resolveVariables`** (rather than require resolved input), so the editor can pass its in-progress values straight to the preview. Templates preview with examples; decks with unfilled required variables are refused at export.\n11. **No template provenance in PPTX in this release.** The package stores the resolved deck. Re-import returns the filled deck. Storing the template form needs a provenance part and a re-import path; recorded as a follow-up.\n12. **`opf fill`: a deck per record, plus `--combine`; no `repeat` construct yet.** A slide marked `repeat` (one instance per row inside one deck, with shared slides emitted once) is the natural next step but needs a schema addition and a per-record scope; `--combine` covers "one slide group per record" without it.\n13. **English number and date formats only.** Separators and names are fixed so output never depends on host locale; a `locale` field is a follow-up.\n14. **Optional unfilled variables vanish; required ones never do.** The resolver does not guess a replacement for a missing value.\n\n15. **Built-ins are dotted and read from the document, not declared, and per-slide values are slide-scoped built-ins (FA-31, owner decision 2026-10-09).** A dot can never appear in a user id, so there is no collision rule to learn. The cost is one non-dotted name, `speakers`, which is reserved. `{{slide.number}}`, `{{slide.section}}` and `{{deck.slideCount}}` resolve per output slide at composition time (`resolveSlideVariables`, `layoutFurniture`), and a furniture `{{slide.number}}` keeps the native PPTX field, so headers and footers need no flags and no second template syntax (the 0.16 `organization`, `speaker`, `section`, `slideNumber` and `slideNumberFormat` keys and `{current}`/`{total}` are removed). Alternative: keep per-field booleans, which fix the order of values in a zone and duplicate the built-ins.\n16. **A missing built-in source resolves to nothing with a warning (previews of a template keep the token).** An unknown path is an error because it is a typo, not missing data.\n\n## Limits\n\n- A variable\'s own `value` is taken literally: a token inside a value (`{{other}}`) is not expanded, so variables do not refer to each other.\n- Variables are not computed: no arithmetic, conditionals or loops. A deck that needs them generates its data upstream.\n- A variable cannot change structure beyond splicing a list into an array and omitting an optional field. Which slides exist is the author\'s choice (or `opf fill`\'s per-record decks).\n- Variables that point at relative image paths depend on where the filled file is saved.\n- Schema support is not fidelity: the renderer and exporter lay out the resolved deck, so a long substituted value can overflow like any long authored value. Check the filled deck with the usual composition diagnostics.\n\n## Follow-ups\n\n- A `repeat` slide construct and per-record scoping for one-deck-many-records fills.\n- Template provenance in PPTX export (re-import returns the template), and importing a PowerPoint deck with `{{id}}` tokens as a template.\n- Locale-aware number and date formats; conditional visibility of a block.\n- pptx.gallery: a template gallery and "use this template" flow; the gallery\'s examples gain optional variables.\n- Image variables backed by a host asset picker in hosts other than the playground.\n- A JSON Schema for a template\'s values file, generated from `listVariables`, for agents and form builders.\n'

     "title": "OPF validate: one checker for format, references, accessibility, layout and content",
-    "markdown": "# OPF validate: one checker for format, references, accessibility, layout and content\n\n`validate` in `@openpresentation/opf` and `opf validate` in the CLI check an OPF presentation for everything a tool can tell without an opinion: whether it is well-formed OPF, whether everything it points at resolves, whether a host's house rules hold, and the problems a schema cannot see, such as text that is hard to read, text that does not fit, pictures without alt text, content read out of order, fonts outside the deck's scheme, placeholder text and slides left empty. It is the only checker. Releases before 0.14 had several (a schema validator, a lint and an audit, in the library and the CLI); 0.14 replaces them all with `validate`.\n\n`validate` is read-only, local and deterministic. It fetches nothing (no images, fonts or catalogs), consults no clock and calls no model. The same document, options and fonts give byte-identical findings.\n\n```sh\nopf validate deck.opf.json                                     # everything, JSON report\nopf validate deck.opf.json --format text                       # one line per finding\nopf validate deck.opf.json --only format,references --fail-on warning\nopf validate deck.opf.json --ignore layout --config house-rules.json\nopf validate --list-rules\n```\n\n```js\nimport { validate } from '@openpresentation/opf';\n\nconst report = validate(presentation);           // a parsed presentation\nconst fromText = validate(fileText);             // strict JSON text: also syntax, duplicate keys and line/column\nvalidate(presentation, { only: ['format'] });    // the cheap check: schema and semantic rules only\nvalidate(presentation, { ignore: ['layout'] });  // everything except the checks that build slide layouts\nvalidate(presentation, { contracts, severity: { 'opf/text-contrast': 'error' } }); // house rules\n```\n\n## Categories\n\nEvery finding has one of six categories. They say what kind of question the finding answers, and they select what runs.\n\n| Category | Asks | Errors by default | Examples |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `format` | Is it well-formed OPF? | yes | JSON syntax, duplicate keys, schema, a citation of an unknown reference, an unknown dataset, a required variable with no value (a warning in a template), a `name:id` prefix that names no catalog group |\n| `references` | Does everything it points at resolve? | missing or circular asset, invalid catalog record; a reference that resolves nowhere and an unused dataset are warnings | `asset:` references, catalog references, citations and datasets nobody uses |\n| `policy` | Does it follow the host's house rules? | the host sets it (default `error`) | \"only these layouts\", brand fonts: the `contracts` option |\n| `accessibility` | Can everyone read it? | no: warning and info | contrast, alt text, slide titles, reading order, link text, language |\n| `layout` | Will it present as authored? | no: warning | overflow, minimum type size, image resolution, fonts outside the scheme |\n| `content` | Is anything left unfinished? | no: warning and info | placeholder text, an empty slide, a chart value that is text |\n\n`valid` keeps meaning \"correct OPF\": it is true when no finding has severity `error`, and by default only `format`, `references` and `policy` can produce one. A low-contrast deck is still a valid deck. A team promotes the rules it cares about with `severity`.\n\nEvery rule is listed, with its category, default severity, cost and the basis it rests on, in [Rules](#rules) below. A rule stays in core only when it has a measurable basis (a standard such as WCAG 2.2, a print-preflight check, or a number computed from the layout); judgments that need an audience and a purpose, such as how many fonts or words a deck should have, are not rules here.\n\n## Input and report\n\n`validate(input, options?)` takes a parsed presentation (an object) or **strict JSON text**. A string is read as JSON and nothing else: it is never sniffed for YAML or Markdown. When the text begins like YAML (`key: value`, `---`) or Markdown (`#`), the `help` of the syntax finding says to read it with `fromYaml` or `fromMarkdown` first, which return a presentation and call `validate` for you.\n\nWith text, a syntax error or a duplicate key comes back with `location` (original-source UTF-16 offset and length, one-based line and column), and so does every finding about a value in the document; a finding about a missing field is located at the object that lacks it. Text that is not JSON reports its syntax errors (`opf/json-syntax`) whatever `only` says, because nothing else can run.\n\n### Reading a deck in any form\n\n`parse(text, { format, filename, catalogs })` (the root and `@openpresentation/opf/deck`, RR-60, RR-62) reads a deck from JSON, YAML or Markdown text and returns the presentation; a syntax, schema or reference error throws `OPFValidationError`, whose `report` is the report `validate` gives the text. The format is the `format` option (`\"json\"`, `\"yaml\"` or `\"markdown\"`), else the `filename` (`.opf.md` is Markdown, `.yaml` and `.yml` are YAML, anything else is JSON), and never the content: a plain `.md` name is not a deck. Findings are located in the text that was read: `opf/json-syntax` (line and column) for JSON, `yaml/<rule>` for YAML and `markdown/<rule>` for Markdown, and every `opf/` finding at the field it names. `parse` checks format and references; warnings do not throw, so call `validate` for the full report (`validate(text)` for JSON text; `fromYaml` and `fromMarkdown` return it for the other forms). It throws a `TypeError` for a text that is not a string, an unknown format or a bad option. `stringify(presentation, { format | filename })` is the other direction: JSON as two-space JSON, YAML and Markdown in canonical form. Both are browser-safe; `open` and `save` of `@openpresentation/opf/node` do the same for files. See [OPF as YAML](yaml.md) and [Markdown and outlines](markdown.md).\n\nThe report is a [`FindingReport`](finding-schema-reference.md) (`spec/schemas/finding.schema.json`) with a few more fields:\n\n| Field | Meaning |\n| --- | --- |\n| `valid` | No finding has severity `error` |\n| `findings` | Every finding, ordered by slide (document-level findings first), then category, then rule |\n| `counts` | `{ error, warning, info }` |\n| `schemaValid` | The document passes the schema and the semantic format checks; `null` for text that is not JSON. A required variable with no value does not make a document schema-invalid |\n| `checks` | What ran and what was not measured (below) |\n| `template`, `unfilledVariables` | Documents that declare content variables or are templates: whether they were checked as a template, and which required variables have no value |\n\nA finding has a stable `ruleId` (`opf/text-contrast`), a `severity` (`error`, `warning`, `info`), a `category`, a JSON Pointer `path`, a `message`, a `help` sentence and a `definition` link to the rule below or to the schema constraint. It may carry `slide` and `slideId` (zero-based index and id of the slide it belongs to), `location` (from text), `measured` (the numbers behind it: ratios, sizes, counts), `suggestions` (catalog records that exist, never silently applied), `lookup` (arguments for `opf schema` or `opf catalog`, not a shell string), `validation` (the raw schema issue, with every union alternative) and `fixes`.\n\n`checks` says what each part did: `syntax` (`checked` for text), `schema`, `references`, `policy`, `accessibility` and `content` are `checked` or `not-run`; `layout` is `not-run`, `estimated` (text widths are core's portable estimate) or `measured` (the host passed `fonts.textMeasurement`); background picture pixels are never read (`backgroundPixels`), image resolution reads only embedded `data:` images (`imageBytes`), and native PowerPoint rendering is not checked (`nativeExport`).\n\nA document the schema rejects is not audited: its accessibility, layout and content rules do not run, and its format errors are reported even when `only` did not ask for them, so the report says why nothing else ran (switch them off with `ignore: ['format']`).\n\n## Options\n\n```js\nvalidate(presentation, {\n  only: ['format', 'opf/missing-alt-text'],       // run just these rules or categories\n  ignore: ['layout'],                             // do not run these\n  severity: { 'opf/text-contrast': 'error', content: 'off' }, // per rule or category: error, warning, info or off\n  ignorePaths: [{ rule: 'opf/text-contrast', path: '/slides/3' }], // an accepted exception, by JSON Pointer prefix\n  catalogs: [defaultCatalog, acmeCatalog],        // the catalogs the host registered (the first is the default); nothing is fetched\n  contracts,                                      // host policy (below)\n  thresholds: { contrastNormal: 7 },              // see DEFAULT_VALIDATION_THRESHOLDS\n  fonts,                                          // the host's fonts: layout rules read fonts.textMeasurement\n  chartPalette: ['#0072B2', '#E69F00'],           // the engine's chart colours\n  template: true, values: { client: 'Acme' },     // check as a template, or fill variables first\n});\n```\n\n- **Names.** `only`, `ignore`, `severity` and `ignorePaths` take full rule ids (`opf/text-contrast`), bare rule names (`text-contrast`) or category names (`accessibility`). No rule is named like a category. A rule beats its category in `severity`. An unknown rule, category, threshold or option throws a `TypeError`, so a typo cannot silently disable a check.\n- **`fonts`.** An object with a `textMeasurement` (the renderer's `loadFonts()` result has one). Without it the layout rules use core's portable estimate and `checks.layout` says `estimated`; with it, `measured`. `textMeasurement` may also be a function of the zero-based slide index, for a script-aware measurement per slide. When the measurement has a `forScripts(profile)` method (a script planner), the layout rules ask it for each slide's script-aware measurement, built from the slide's `resolveScriptFonts` profile and a run language's own profile, the way the renderer and the exporter measure, so Arabic or Japanese text is measured in its script face rather than the Latin face its style names.\n- **`template` and `values`.** A deck that declares content variables is checked as the deck it resolves to; see [templates and variables](templates-and-variables.md).\n- **Thresholds.** `DEFAULT_VALIDATION_THRESHOLDS` holds `contrastNormal`, `contrastLarge`, `minFontSizePt`, `minImagePpi` and `minSeriesColorDifference`; each rule below lists the ones it reads.\n\n`validationRules` lists every rule with its metadata (`id`, `name`, `category`, `severity`, `cost`, `summary`, `rationale`, `standard`, `approximations`, `thresholds`), and `findValidationRule(name)` finds one by id or bare name.\n\n`assertValid(value, options?)` throws `OPFValidationError`, carrying the `report` and its error `findings`, unless `validate(value, options)` is valid, and tells TypeScript that `value` is a `Presentation`. It takes a parsed value, not text.\n\n`validateCatalogRecord(kind, record)` and `assertValidCatalogRecord(kind, record)` check one catalog record (an audience, theme, layout, font scheme and so on) against its schema. The report has the same shape; its findings are `format`, and a record that links to an unknown id only warns.\n\n## Cost\n\n`validate` is lazy: it builds only what the rules you ask for need. Measured with Node 24 on three bundled example decks (milliseconds per call, warm; your machine will differ, the ratios hold):\n\n| Call | `minimal` (3 slides) | `renewal-save-plan` (6 slides, 34 KB) | `broadband-public-hearing-deck` (10 slides, 41 KB) |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `only: ['format']` | 0.06 | 0.23 | 0.64 |\n| `only: ['format', 'references']` | 0.7 | 5.2 | 7.6 |\n| everything (the default) | 1.7 | 24 | 32 |\n\n`only: ['format']` costs what the schema check alone costs; it builds no layout. The references walk reads the schema alongside the document and costs about ten times as much. The rules of `layout` (and `opf/text-contrast`, `opf/text-on-image` and `opf/reading-order`) compose every slide and are most of the cost of a full run. Each rule's `cost` says which it needs: `syntax` reads the JSON text, `structure` reads the document alone, `composition` builds slide layouts.\n\nThe default runs everything, so an agent or CI job never gets \"valid\" for a deck that overflows, and the hot paths say what they need: pagination, conversion, patch validation and the editor's per-edit check use `{ only: ['format'] }`; the CLI's write, render, export and import commands use `{ only: ['format', 'references'] }`, so a contrast warning never blocks an export.\n\n## Quick fixes\n\nA fix is a suggestion that core never applies. A host such as the editor's Review panel shows it and applies it through its own undoable edit path.\n\n- A `patch` fix (`kind: \"patch\"`, the default) carries RFC 6902 JSON Patch operations in `patch` (`add`, `remove`, `replace`, `move`, `copy`, `test`, with JSON Pointer paths). `safe: true` means the change cannot alter what the content says: for example switching a failing text colour to the colour the theme chose for that background.\n- A `focus` fix (`kind: \"focus\"`) names the field the author must fill in (`focus.path`, `focus.field`: `alt`, `title`, `text`, `link`, `language`, `fontSize`).\n- `safe: false` patches change meaning or appearance and need a deliberate click, for example marking a picture decorative with an empty `alt`.\n\n`title` says what applying the fix does.\n\n## Catalog context and contracts\n\nContent references resolve the way every engine resolves them ([catalogs](default-catalog.md)): `catalogs.custom`, then the records embedded under `catalogs.default`, then the catalog the host registered (the `catalogs` option) for its source; `name:id` in `catalogs.<name>`, then the catalog registered for its source. A reference that resolves nowhere is a warning (`opf/unresolved-reference`), never an error; a prefix that names no group is a format error (`opf/undeclared-catalog`): it can never resolve, so engines reject the document at their format check (`validate(document, { only: [\"format\"] })`) instead of drawing a fallback. A `catalogs` option that is not an array of registered catalogs throws `OPFCatalogsOptionError` (`code: \"invalid-catalogs\"`) at every entry point. Nothing is fetched, and without the `catalogs` option only the records the document embeds resolve. Free-form audience and purpose descriptions (any string that is not a bare id or `name:id`) and arbitrary `extensions` data are never references; the `language` tag, `chart.type` and the `socials` keys are engine vocabularies the schema checks. Embedded records, and registered records the document uses, are validated against their companion schema (`opf/catalog-record`). A record under `catalogs.default` or a named group that the catalog registered for the group's source does not publish is `opf/catalog-record-not-in-source` (move it to `catalogs.custom`); with no catalog registered for that source the check is silent. Suggestions name records actually present in the checked context (`origin` `document` or `registered`).\n\nAn `asset:` reference that names no entry of the document's `assets` registry is an error (`opf/asset-reference`), and so is a cycle of `asset:` sources (`opf/asset-cycle`); resource bytes are never fetched. Chart and table data findings keep their code as the rule id (`opf/dataset-unknown`, `opf/chart-value-not-numeric`, ...), and a `opf/chart-value-not-numeric` cell whose column is written in one display style (`\"12%\"`, `\"$1,234\"`) carries `fixes` ([chart and table data](chart-table-data.md#migration-help)). Citation and caption errors keep theirs too (`opf/cite-unknown-reference`, `opf/reference-id-duplicate`, `opf/cite-unsupported-location`, `opf/caption-unsupported-payload`).\n\nA narrative the document defines is a record in `catalogs.custom.narratives`, and `narrative` is always a reference string. When the narrative resolves, a `slides[].beat` id it does not define is `opf/unknown-beat`, a root `duration` outside the record's `duration` range is `opf/duration-outside-narrative`, an embedded record whose `duration.min` exceeds `duration.max` is `opf/narrative-duration-range`, and a beat no slide references is `opf/unused-beat` (only once some slide names a beat). A slide-level `design.theme` whose resolved dimensions differ from the deck's is `opf/slide-theme-dimensions`: a PPTX has one slide size, and a slide's `design` cannot set `dimensions` at all (a schema error). An undeclared `var:<id>` in a solid, gradient-stop or pattern background colour warns like any other colour reference (`opf/variable-reference-unknown`).\n\nHost policy comes from explicit options, never from the document: fields under `extensions` are data and cannot install policy. `contracts` and `catalogs` may live in a local JSON file for the CLI (`--config`).\n\n```json\n{\n  \"catalogs\": {\n    \"layouts\": [\n      {\"id\":\"partner-title\",\"name\":\"Partner title\",\"placeholders\":[{\"type\":\"title\"}]}\n    ]\n  },\n  \"contracts\": [\n    {\n      \"path\":\"/slides/*/layout\",\n      \"allowedValues\":[\"partner-title\",\"text-1x\"],\n      \"message\":\"Use the brand layouts {{allowed}} at {{path}}. See {{file}}.\",\n      \"documentation\":\"brand-guide.md#layouts\",\n      \"severity\":\"error\"\n    }\n  ]\n}\n```\n\nContract paths are JSON Pointer patterns: `~0` escapes `~`, `~1` escapes `/`, and a whole `*` segment matches one property or array index. Contracts check existing fields; they do not require an omitted field or insert defaults. Allowed values are JSON primitives. Optional message placeholders are `{{path}}`, `{{value}}`, `{{allowed}}`, and `{{file}}`. A contract's severity is `error` unless it says otherwise. Invalid or misspelled configuration keys fail instead of being ignored. Messages and catalog labels are data, not executable instructions.\n\n## The CLI\n\n`opf validate <file|-> [--config <file>] [--only <list>] [--ignore <list>] [--fail-on <error|warning|info>] [--format <json|text>] [--list-rules]`\n\nThe JSON report (the default) is the `validate` report plus the source's SHA-256 (`sha256`), the installed core version (`opfVersion`) and, with `--config`, the configuration file's path and hash (`context`). `--format text` prints one line per finding (`file:line:column  severity  rule  message`), the JSON Pointer path, a hint and any fix, then a summary. `--list-rules` prints every rule (`--format json` with its full metadata).\n\nA file ending `.yaml` or `.yml` (or stdin with `--input-format yaml`) is read as YAML through `fromYaml`, so the report is the same and every finding is located in the YAML; a YAML syntax or dialect error is a `yaml/<rule>` finding (`format`, exit 1). A file ending `.opf.md` (or stdin with `--input-format markdown`) is read as a [Markdown deck](markdown.md#markdown-decks-in-every-command) the same way, and a Markdown error is a `markdown/<rule>` finding. A plain `.md` file is not a deck.\n\n`--only` and `--ignore` take comma-separated rule ids, bare names or category names. `--config` takes an explicit local JSON file, never `-`, holding `{ catalogs, contracts, severity, only, ignore, ignorePaths, thresholds, chartPalette }`; `--only` replaces the file's `only` and `--ignore` adds to its `ignore`.\n\n| Exit | Meaning |\n| --- | --- |\n| 0 | No finding at or above `--fail-on` (default `error`) |\n| 1 | At least one finding at or above `--fail-on`, or a document that is not valid JSON (or YAML) |\n| 2 | Usage, configuration or I/O error |\n\n`--fail-on` is the one way to say \"fail on warnings\" on every command that checks a document: `--fail-on warning`. Other commands (`create`, `edit`, `fill`, `paginate`, `bundle`, `import-data`, `render`, `export`, `import`, `from-md`, `from-yaml`) check only `format` and `references` of what they write and take `--fail-on` the same way.\n\n## How contrast is computed\n\n`opf/text-contrast` reasons about the colours the preview draws, because a check against a different colour than the one on screen is worse than none.\n\n1. **Background.** Design resolves per field: slide design, deck design, theme, engine default. The background is a theme slot or colour (`solid`), the card surface for content on a `contentBox` card, a table cell's fill, a gradient or a pattern. Solid, gradient-stop and pattern colours are read as literal hex colours, as the preview reads them (anything else falls back as it does there). Translucent backgrounds are composited over white.\n2. **Text colour.** Titles, body, lists and tags use the scheme's `dark1`, or `light1` when the background is dark (luminance below 0.179). Furniture and quote attributions use the muted colour, metric values the primary colour, and explicit run and table colours the author's `ColorRef` resolved the same way the renderer resolves it. As the preview does, a gradient background has no single colour and counts as light, so a dark gradient behind default text is reported.\n3. **Gradients.** The gradient is sampled on a 5 by 5 grid over the area the text covers (the lines' measured ink, aligned as the text is), using the preview's gradient geometry, and the worst colour decides. A pattern contributes both of its colours.\n4. **Pictures.** Pixels are never read. A background picture is bounded by a grey ramp from black to white, composited through the picture opacity and any full-frame overlay of the image background (`design.background.overlay`). Text passes only if every step passes; otherwise `opf/text-on-image` says the result cannot be guaranteed. An overlay limited to an edge band is not counted.\n5. **Ratio and size.** The WCAG 2.x relative-luminance contrast ratio is compared with 4.5:1, or 3:1 for large text: at least 18 pt, or 14 pt and bold. Sizes are the fitted sizes, expressed at the 13.33 by 7.5 in reference slide (96 px per inch). The default body size, 18.75 pt, is large text under WCAG, so default body text passes at 3:1; set `contrastLarge` to 4.5 for a stricter policy.\n\nApproximations: anti-aliasing, text shadows, font weight and the exact glyph coverage are not modelled; chart and code text are not checked (charts pick label colours against their surface; code uses its own panel colours). See each rule below for what it cannot see.\n\n## Layout rules use composition\n\nOverflow, minimum type size, reading order and image resolution use `composeSlide` at the deck's slide size with the resolved font scheme, the same composition the preview and the PPTX export consume. Without `fonts.textMeasurement` the text widths are core's portable estimate and can differ from the real fonts by a few percent; hosts that load fonts (the editor, the renderer) pass their measurement for font-exact results. A composition with `overflow: \"error\"` fails at composition time; `validate` still computes the geometry, relaxes the setting, and reports the overflow as a **warning**, so that `valid` never depends on font metrics. Rendering and export still refuse such a slide when it does not fit, and a host that wants the finding to fail promotes it with `severity: { 'opf/text-overflow': 'error' }`.\n\nPromoted region keys (`left`, `center`, `right`, `top:left` and the rest) are composed in visual reading order (rows from top to bottom, then along the row), whatever order the keys are written in. The PPTX export writes shapes in that order, which is the reading order of assistive technology; `opf/reading-order` checks that the composed order still matches the geometry (the same `visualReadingOrder` that composes the regions). Authoring with `blocks` (an ordered list) keeps the reading order equal to the visual order.\n\n## Templates and variables\n\n`opf/variable-unfilled` is one rule for a required variable that has no value. In a deck that is not a template it is an error (the deck is incomplete), so `valid` is false; in a template (`\"template\": true` in the document, or `template: true` in the options) it is a warning, because a template is incomplete on purpose; `unfilledVariables` lists the ids either way. In a document that declares no content variables, a `{{id}}` token left in a string (outside `variables`, `extensions`, `catalogs` and `assets`) is a warning. A `var:` colour that names no declared variable is `opf/variable-reference-unknown`. It is a `format` rule, so `only: ['format']` (what pagination, patching, conversion and every write command run) rejects a deck with an unfilled required variable. Fill a template with `opf fill` or `resolveVariables`, or pass `values`, to clear the findings.\n\n## Rules\n\nThe reference below is generated from the rule registry (`validationRules`); `node scripts/build-validate-docs.mjs --check` (and a core test) fails when it drifts.\n\n<!-- validate-rules:start (generated by scripts/build-validate-docs.mjs; do not edit by hand) -->\n\n| Rule |

Cost: syntax. The text is not strict JSON.\n\n**Why.** Every OPF tool reads JSON. A misplaced comma, quote, comment or trailing comma makes the file unreadable, and the range says where.\n\n**Basis.** RFC 8259 (strict JSON: no comments, no trailing commas)\n\n**Approximations.** Only text input is checked. A string is always read as JSON; a text that looks like YAML or Markdown gets a hint to use fromYaml or fromMarkdown first.\n\n### `opf/duplicate-key`\n\nDefault severity: **error**. Cost: syntax. A JSON object repeats a key.\n\n**Why.** JSON.parse keeps only the last value of a repeated key, so the earlier one disappears without a trace. The check compares escaped and literal spellings of the same key.\n\n**Basis.** RFC 8259 section 4 (names within an object should be unique)\n\n### `opf/schema`\n\nDefault severity: **error**. Cost: structure. The document breaks the OPF schema or a structural rule the schema cannot express.\n\n**Why.** The schema is the contract every engine, exporter and editor relies on. A field of the wrong type, a missing required field, an unknown property or content fields that cannot be mixed make the document ambiguous or undrawable.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n**Approximations.** All alternatives of a union are reported, with the failing schema location in `validation`. A required variable with no value is reported by `opf/variable-unfilled`, in the same category.\n\n### `opf/reference-id-duplicate`\n\nDefault severity: **error**. Cost: structure. Two references share an id.\n\n**Why.** A citation names a reference by id; a repeated id makes it ambiguous which entry is cited.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n### `opf/cite-unknown-reference`\n\nDefault severity: **error**. Cost: structure. A citation names a reference that does not exist.\n\n**Why.** A cited id with no entry in `references` has nothing to show in the footnote area.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n### `opf/cite-unsupported-location`\n\nDefault severity: **error**. Cost: structure. A citation or footnote sits where no engine draws it.\n\n**Why.** `cite` and `footnote` apply to runs in text, bullets and list items; table cells, captions, and reference and footnote texts have no marker.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n### `opf/caption-unsupported-payload`\n\nDefault severity: **error**. Cost: structure. A caption is on a payload that cannot carry one.\n\n**Why.** A caption belongs to exactly one image, chart, table or video; a group, text or code block has no place to draw it.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n### `opf/image-option-unsupported-payload`\n\nDefault severity: **error**. Cost: structure. An image option is on a payload that is not an image.\n\n**Why.** `fit`, `focus`, the image treatments (`shape`, `cornerRadius`, `border`, `opacity`, `recolor`, `overlay`, `aspectRatio`) and `placement` describe how a picture is drawn; a group, text or chart block has no picture for them to apply to.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n### `opf/image-placement-invalid`\n\nDefault severity: **error**. Cost: structure. An image placement cannot be honoured.\n\n**Why.** A placed image bleeds to a slide edge and the rest of the slide composes beside it. Only a top-level block (slides.N.blocks.I) can do that, and a slide edge holds one placed image; a block in a group or a promoted region, or a second block on the same edge, has nowhere to go.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n### `opf/layout-placeholder-group`\n\nDefault severity: **error**. Cost: structure. A layout record's placeholder group breaks a nesting rule.\n\n**Why.** A placeholder group arranges body regions inside one cell of its layout record. Groups nest at most three levels inside a record, and a group holds body regions and groups only: the headings (title, subtitle, tag) stay at the record's top level, where the engine places them. Composition cannot use a record that breaks either rule.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n### `opf/dataset-unknown`\n\nDefault severity: **error**. Cost: structure. A chart or table names a dataset that does not exist.\n\n**Why.** The data cannot be drawn without the dataset it refers to.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n### `opf/dataset-field-unknown`\n\nDefault severity: **error**. Cost: structure. A table asks a dataset for a column it does not have.\n\n**Why.** The column cannot be shown when the dataset has no column of that name.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n### `opf/data-column-duplicate`\n\nDefault severity: **error**. Cost: structure. A dataset or table has two columns with the same name.\n\n**Why.** Series, mappings and fields address columns by name, so a repeated name makes them ambiguous.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n### `opf/chart-mapping-unknown-column`\n\nDefault severity: **error**. Cost: structure. A chart mapping names a column the data does not have.\n\n**Why.** The series cannot be built from a column that is not there.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n### `opf/number-format-invalid`\n\nDefault severity: **error**. Cost: structure. A number format cannot be read.\n\n**Why.** A format code that no engine can parse is drawn as the plain number or fails to export.\n\n**Basis.** Excel number format codes, as far as OPF supports them\n\n### `opf/variable-invalid-value`\n\nDefault severity: **error**. Cost: structure. A variable value does not match its declared type.\n\n**Why.** A number variable given text, or a date given a non-date, cannot be filled into the deck.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n### `opf/variable-unknown-builtin`\n\nDefault severity: **error**. Cost: structure. A token names a built-in variable that does not exist.\n\n**Why.** The `deck.`, `speaker.`, `organization.` and `slide.` names (and `speakers`) are reserved for built-in variables; a name under them that is not a built-in can never be filled, so the token would show literally. The slide-scoped `slide.number`, `slide.section` and `deck.slideCount` are inline tokens only, so `var:slide.*` and `var:deck.slideCount` are reported too.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n### `opf/chart-highlight-unknown-name`\n\nDefault severity: **error**. Cost: structure. A chart highlight names a series or category the chart does not have.\n\n**Why.** `chart.highlight` emphasises marks by name; a name that matches no series or category in the chart data highlights nothing, so the chart is not drawn as authored.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n### `opf/variable-format`\n\nDefault severity: **error**. Cost: structure. A variable cannot be formatted.\n\n**Why.** A number or date format that does not apply to the value leaves the token unreadable.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n### `opf/variable-unfilled`\n\nDefault severity: **error**. Cost: structure. A required template variable has no value.\n\n**Why.** A variable a deck declares as required, with no value, is template scaffolding: `{{name}}` tokens show up literally and colour variables fall back to a default. A normal deck must be filled, so this is an error and the deck is not valid; a template (`template: true`) is incomplete on purpose, so it is a warning.\n\n**Approximations.** Required variables are those the variable machinery reports as unfilled for the document (declared, no value, not `required: false`, not given by the `values` option). For a document that declares no content variables, `{{id}}` / `{{id|format}}` tokens (`{{` escapes) left in any string outside `variables`, `extensions`, `catalogs` and `assets` are reported as warnings. `var:` colour references with no declaration are reported as `opf/variable-reference-unknown`. Fill a template with `opf fill` or `resolveVariables` to clear the findings.\n\n### `opf/run-color-unrecognized`\n\nDefault severity: **warning**. Cost: structure. A text run colour is none of the documented forms.\n\n**Why.** Run colours are open strings so imported decks stay valid, but a value that is not a hex colour, a colour-scheme name or a `var:` reference falls back to the theme colour.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n### `opf/numbering-start-ignored`\n\nDefault severity: **warning**. Cost: structure. A list entry sets `start` where nothing is numbered.\n\n**Why.** A start value only restarts an auto-number; without `numbering` on the payload it has no effect.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n### `opf/undeclared-catalog`\n\nDefault severity: **error**. Cost: structure. A reference names a catalog group the document does not declare.\n\n**Why.** The prefix of a `name:id` reference names the group of `catalogs` it resolves in. A prefix with no group can never resolve, whatever the host registers, so it is a format error: engines reject the document at their format check instead of drawing a fallback.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n\n## References rules\n\n*Does everything it points at resolve?*\n\n### `opf/asset-reference`\n\nDefault severity: **error**. Cost: structure. An `asset:` reference names an asset that is not in the registry.\n\n**Why.** An image, logo or video that points at a missing asset cannot be drawn or exported. The check reads the document's own registry only; no file or URL is fetched.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n### `opf/asset-cycle`\n\nDefault severity: **error**. Cost: structure. Asset references form a cycle.\n\n**Why.** An asset whose source points back at itself never resolves to a file.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n### `opf/catalog-record`\n\nDefault severity: **error**. Cost: structure. An embedded or registered catalog record is invalid.\n\n**Why.** A record that fails its companion schema cannot be resolved. Invalid records are left out of the lookup, so the references to them are reported too.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/<kind>.schema.json\n\n### `opf/unresolved-reference`\n\nDefault severity: **warning**. Cost: structure. A content reference resolves nowhere.\n\n**Why.** A layout, theme, colour scheme, font scheme, narrative, audience, purpose or tone reference that neither the document embeds nor a registered catalog defines falls back: a slide composes automatically, a design uses the engine default. A strict export fails instead. A slide with no layout is automatic composition and is never reported.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n**Approximations.** Resolved like every engine resolves it: catalogs.custom, then the records embedded under catalogs.default, then the catalog registered for its source (the first registered catalog when `default` is omitted); `name:id` in catalogs.<name>, then the catalog registered for its source. Nothing is fetched. Free-form audience and purpose text is not a reference.\n\n### `opf/catalog-record-not-in-source`\n\nDefault severity: **warning**. Cost: structure. A record embedded under a catalog group is not in that catalog.\n\n**Why.** A record under catalogs.default or a named group says it came from the catalog its source names. When the catalog the host registered for that source has no record of that kind and id, the record is the document's own and belongs in catalogs.custom, where an update from the catalog never looks for it. Rendering is unchanged: the embedded record still wins.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n**Approximations.** Checked only against a catalog the host registered for the group's source (the first registered catalog for an omitted default.source); with none registered for it the check is silent. A record the catalog has with different content is an update difference (updateFromCatalog), not this finding. catalogs.custom is never checked.\n\n### `opf/unused-reference`\n\nDefault severity: **warning**. Cost: structure. A reference is never cited.\n\n**Why.** A listed reference that no run cites is not drawn anywhere.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n### `opf/unused-dataset`\n\nDefault severity: **warning**. Cost: structure. A dataset is never used.\n\n**Why.** A dataset no chart or table references is not drawn anywhere.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n### `opf/unknown-beat`\n\nDefault severity: **warning**. Cost: structure. A slide names a beat its narrative does not define.\n\n**Why.** `slides[].beat` links a slide to a step of the narrative plan. A beat id the narrative does not have links to nothing; nothing is drawn from a beat.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n**Approximations.** The narrative resolves like every content reference: the document's catalogs groups, then the registered catalogs. A narrative that resolves nowhere is not checked.\n\n### `opf/slide-theme-dimensions`\n\nDefault severity: **warning**. Cost: structure. A slide theme sets a slide size that differs from the deck.\n\n**Why.** A PPTX has one slide size. The size a slide-level theme carries is never used: design.dimensions of the deck (or of its theme) wins in every engine, and without them the exporter stops with mixed slide sizes.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n### `opf/variable-unknown`\n\nDefault severity: **warning**. Cost: structure. A `{{token}}` names a variable that is not declared.\n\n**Why.** An undeclared token is shown literally.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n### `opf/variable-unknown-value`\n\nDefault severity: **warning**. Cost: structure. A value was supplied for a variable that is not declared.\n\n**Why.** The value is never used.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n### `opf/variable-unused`\n\nDefault severity: **warning**. Cost: structure. A variable is declared but never used.\n\n**Why.** A declaration nothing refers to has no effect.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n### `opf/variable-reference-unknown`\n\nDefault severity: **warning**. Cost: structure. A `var:` colour names a variable that is not declared.\n\n**Why.** An undeclared colour variable falls back to a default colour.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n\n## Policy rules\n\n*Does it follow the host's house rules?*\n\n### `opf/contract`\n\nDefault severity: **error**. Cost: structure. A field is outside the values a host policy allows.\n\n**Why.** A host that needs brand layouts, fonts or other fixed choices states them as contracts. The default severity is error; a contract can set its own. Document metadata never installs policy.\n\n**Approximations.** Only the `contracts` option supplies policy, and it checks existing fields: a contract does not require an omitted field or insert a default.\n\n\n## Accessibility rules\n\n*Can everyone read it?*\n\n### `opf/text-contrast`\n\nDefault severity: **warning**. Cost: composition. Text colour has too little contrast against the background it sits on.\n\n**Why.** Low-contrast text is hard or impossible to read for people with low vision, colour-vision differences, glare on a projector or a poor display. WCAG sets 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text.\n\n**Basis.** WCAG 2.2 SC 1.4.3 Contrast (Minimum), level AA\n\n**Thresholds.** `contrastNormal` (default 4.5), `contrastLarge` (default 3)\n\n**Approximations.** Computed on sRGB colours with the WCAG relative-luminance formula, against the background the preview draws: a solid or theme colour, the card surface, a table cell fill, every colour a gradient takes under the text box (sampled on a 5x5 grid, angle respected), or both colours of a pattern. Anti-aliasing, text shadows and font weight are not modelled. Text colour is the preview's (the scheme's text role or dark1 on a light background and light1 on a dark one, chosen from the background luminance, where a gradient or picture background uses the scheme's default background colour), so a default can fail on a dark gradient. A link with no colour of its own is measured in the scheme's hyperlink colour.\n\n### `opf/text-on-image`\n\nDefault severity: **info**. Cost: composition. Text sits on a background picture whose pixels cannot be measured.\n\n**Why.** Contrast over a photograph depends on the photograph. Without a full-frame overlay that guarantees readability for every possible image, the result cannot be certified from the document.\n\n**Basis.** WCAG 2.2 SC 1.4.3 Contrast (Minimum), level AA\n\n**Thresholds.** `contrastNormal` (default 4.5), `contrastLarge` (default 3)\n\n**Approximations.** Core never reads picture pixels. The picture is bounded by a grey ramp from black to white, composited through the image opacity and a full-frame design.background overlay; the text passes only when every step of that ramp passes. An edge-banded overlay is not counted.\n\n### `opf/missing-alt-text`\n\nDefault severity: **warning**. Cost: structure. A picture has no alt text and is not marked decorative.\n\n**Why.** People using a screen reader get nothing for a picture without alternative text. A picture that is purely decorative should say so with an empty alt (alt: \"\"), which is an explicit, reviewed choice instead of an omission.\n\n**Basis.** WCAG 2.2 SC 1.1.1 Non-text Content, level A\n\n**Approximations.** Checks the alt field of images (image blocks, Slide.image and region images, placed or not), video, logos (design.logo and each LogoSet variant, organization.logo), header/footer images, quote photos and speaker photos, following asset: references to the assets registry. Whether the text describes the picture well is not judged here (see opf/poor-alt-text). Charts carry `chart.alt` and are checked by opf/chart-text-alternative. Picture backgrounds are decorative unless they carry their own alt, and watermarks are decorative, so neither is checked.\n\n### `opf/poor-alt-text`\n\nDefault severity: **info**. Cost: structure. Alt text is a file name, a URL, a generic word or very long.\n\n**Why.** Alt text such as \"image\", \"IMG_2041.png\" or a 400-character paragraph does not do the job of describing a picture: it is read out and adds noise without information.\n\n**Basis.** WCAG 2.2 SC 1.1.1 Non-text Content, level A\n\n**Approximations.** Pattern checks only: file extensions and camera-style names, a bare generic word, a URL, a leading \"image of\", and more than 250 characters. Chart alt text (chart.alt) is checked too: a bare chart word, a URL, a leading \"chart of\" or more than 250 characters. It cannot tell whether a plausible sentence is accurate.\n\n### `opf/missing-slide-title`\n\nDefault severity: **warning**. Cost: structure. A slide has no title.\n\n**Why.** Slide titles are how people using a screen reader, an outline view or keyboard navigation find and tell slides apart; PowerPoint's own accessibility checker reports a missing title too.\n\n**Basis.** WCAG 2.2 SC 2.4.2 Page Titled and SC 2.4.6 Headings and Labels, level AA (PowerPoint: \"Missing slide title\")\n\n**Approximations.** Only the slide-level title field counts. Text that merely looks like a heading inside a block does not.\n\n### `opf/duplicate-slide-title`\n\nDefault severity: **info**. Cost: structure. Two slides have the same title.\n\n**Why.** Identical titles make slides indistinguishable in an outline or a screen reader's slide list.\n\n**Approximations.** Titles are compared case-insensitively with whitespace collapsed. Slides that continue one another are not exempt; give a continuation a distinct title such as \"(continued)\".\n\n### `opf/reading-order`\n\nDefault severity: **warning**. Cost: composition. The order content is read differs from the order it appears on the slide.\n\n**Why.** Screen readers, keyboard focus and PowerPoint's selection pane follow the composed order. When it differs from the visual order (top to bottom, then start to end of the reading direction), the slide is read out of sequence.\n\n**Basis.** WCAG 2.2 SC 1.3.2 Meaningful Sequence, level A (PowerPoint: \"Check reading order\")\n\n**Approximations.** Compares the composed content order with a visual order recomputed from the composed boxes: items whose vertical centres fall in the same row are ordered along the reading direction (a right-to-left deck is checked by rows only), rows from top to bottom. Headings are expected first. Free-form overlap is not analysed.\n\n### `opf/link-text`\n\nDefault severity: **warning**. Cost: structure. Link text does not say where the link goes.\n\n**Why.** People who scan links out of context (a screen reader's links list, a link tab order) hear only the text. \"click here\", \"read more\" or a long raw URL tells them nothing about the destination.\n\n**Basis.** WCAG 2.2 SC 2.4.4 Link Purpose (In Context), level A; PowerPoint: \"Hyperlink text is not meaningful\"\n\n**Approximations.** Matches a short list of generic phrases in English (after lower-casing and removing punctuation), blank link text, and raw URLs longer than 40 characters. Adjacent runs sharing one link are read as one link.\n\n### `opf/chart-color-only`\n\nDefault severity: **info**. Cost: structure. Chart series may be indistinguishable without colour vision.\n\n**Why.** OPF charts have no data labels or patterns, so series are told apart by colour alone (and legend order). Colours that look alike to someone with colour-vision deficiency, or when printed in greyscale, make series impossible to tell apart.\n\n**Basis.** WCAG 2.2 SC 1.4.1 Use of Color, level A\n\n**Thresholds.** `minSeriesColorDifference` (default 10)\n\n**Approximations.** Uses the engine's series palette (ValidateOptions.chartPalette; default the opf-render/opf-pptx palette, adjusted for the card surface like the preview does) in series order: series i takes colour i, pie/doughnut/treemap/funnel slices take colours per category. Pairs are compared by CIE76 distance after simulating protanopia, deuteranopia, tritanopia (Machado 2009, severity 1) and greyscale. Single-series charts and chart types without a series legend are skipped.\n\n### `opf/chart-text-alternative`\n\nDefault severity: **info**. Cost: structure. A chart has no text alternative, or is marked decorative.\n\n**Why.** A chart conveys a message; people who cannot see it need the message and ideally the numbers in text. The chart's alt field is that text alternative (the preview exposes it as the chart's accessible name and the PowerPoint export writes it as the frame's alternative text); a sentence or table beside the chart also serves. An empty alt marks a chart decorative, which is reported as info so the choice is reviewed: a chart rarely carries no message.\n\n**Basis.** WCAG 2.2 SC 1.1.1 Non-text Content, level A\n\n**Approximations.** A chart passes when chart.alt has text. Without alt, it passes when the slide has any other text, list, table, quote or metric content besides title and tag, or a subtitle. It does not judge whether alt or that text states the chart's point (see opf/poor-alt-text for generic alt text). alt: \"\" is reported as a decorative chart, whatever else is on the slide.\n\n### `opf/missing-language`\n\nDefault severity: **info**. Cost: structure. The presentation does not declare its language.\n\n**Why.** Screen readers and text-to-speech choose pronunciation and hyphenation from the declared language; spell checkers and translation tools use it too.\n\n**Basis.** WCAG 2.2 SC 3.1.1 Language of Page, level A\n\n**Approximations.** Only the presentation-level `language` is checked, not the language of individual runs (`TextRun.lang`; opf/language-tag checks how those tags are written).\n\n\n## Layout rules\n\n*Will it present as authored?*\n\n### `opf/chart-option-adapted`\n\nDefault severity: **warning**. Cost: structure. A chart option cannot be shown by the chart type.\n\n**Why.** An axis title, legend or data label option the chart type does not support is adapted by every engine, so the chart is not drawn exactly as authored.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n### `opf/text-overflow`\n\nDefault severity: **warning**. Cost: composition. Text or a table does not fit its space at the smallest allowed size.\n\n**Why.** Core composition shrinks text to the readable minimum and then reports what still does not fit. Overflowing text is clipped or runs over other content in the preview and in PowerPoint.\n\n**Approximations.** Uses composeSlide at the deck's slide size with the fonts of the resolved font scheme. Without a host-supplied text measurement (ValidateOptions.fonts.textMeasurement) widths are core's portable estimate, which can differ from the real font by a few percent; pass the renderer's measurement for font-exact results. A composition that sets overflow: \"error\" is reported as a warning here, so that `valid` never depends on font metrics; rendering and export still refuse such a slide when it does not fit.\n\n### `opf/unresolved-content`\n\nDefault severity: **warning**. Cost: composition. Content cannot be drawn as authored.\n\n**Why.** composeSlide reports content it cannot place or an effect it does not support (for example a picture bullet without a logo, a date field without a date, or an unsupported image treatment). The preview and the export fall back.\n\n### `opf/layout-failed`\n\nDefault severity: **warning**. Cost: composition. The slide layout could not be computed.\n\n**Why.** Composition threw for a slide that passed schema validation, so geometry-based rules (contrast, overflow, reading order, resolution) were skipped for it.\n\n### `opf/min-font-size`\n\nDefault severity: **warning**. Cost: composition. Text is drawn smaller than the readable minimum.\n\n**Why.** Small type is unreadable from the back of a room and on a phone. The engine's own default floor is 12 pt (16 px); anything much below that was lowered on purpose or by a composition that could not fit the text.\n\n**Basis.** Common presentation guidance (12 pt minimum for body text; 18 pt or more is easier to read from a distance).\n\n**Thresholds.** `minFontSizePt` (default 11)\n\n**Approximations.** Sizes are those composeSlide fitted, expressed on the 13.33 x 7.5 in reference slide (96 px per inch, so 1 px is 0.75 pt; a smaller canvas scales type down with it) and explicit run fontSize values in points. Per payload, the smallest part (a metric label or a quote attribution) is reported. Table cell text (default 11.25 pt), code and header/footer furniture are not checked.\n\n### `opf/font-outside-scheme`\n\nDefault severity: **warning**. Cost: structure. Text uses a font family that is not in the deck's font scheme.\n\n**Why.** The font scheme is the deck's font choice. A run that names another family will not follow a font-scheme change, may be missing on the viewer's machine, and breaks the deck's typographic consistency.\n\n**Approximations.** Compares the run's fontFamily (case-insensitively) with the heading, body, code and accent families of the slide's resolved font scheme and the scheme's major/minor fonts. Families that the host substitutes are still different names here.\n\n### `opf/image-resolution`\n\nDefault severity: **warning**. Cost: composition. An image has too few pixels for the size it is shown at.\n\n**Why.** An image stretched beyond its pixel size looks blurry or blocky on a projector or a high-density screen.\n\n**Thresholds.** `minImagePpi` (default 96)\n\n**Approximations.** Only embedded data: images (and asset: references to them) have readable pixel sizes; URLs and files are never fetched, so they are not checked. The displayed size is the composed frame (cover and stretch are measured as the cover scale, contain as the contain scale). Effective ppi is the image pixels per inch of the 96 px/inch reference slide. SVG is vector and exempt.\n\n\n## Content rules\n\n*Is anything left unfinished?*\n\n### `opf/chart-value-not-numeric`\n\nDefault severity: **warning**. Cost: structure. A chart value is text, not a number.\n\n**Why.** A chart plots numbers. A text cell such as \"12%\" is plotted as a gap. When every text value of a column is written in one display style the finding carries the fix that stores the numbers and gives the column the matching format.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n### `opf/chart-mapping-adapted`\n\nDefault severity: **warning**. Cost: structure. A chart mapping entry is ignored.\n\n**Why.** A mapping that names a column the chart type cannot use is left out of the chart.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n### `opf/chart-highlight-adapted`\n\nDefault severity: **warning**. Cost: structure. A chart highlight is adapted by the chart type.\n\n**Why.** A highlight the chart type cannot show as authored (a category highlight on a chart without categories, for example) is adapted by every engine, so the emphasis is not exactly what was written.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n### `opf/code-highlight-out-of-range`\n\nDefault severity: **warning**. Cost: structure. A code highlight marks a line the code does not have.\n\n**Why.** Marked lines count from 1 by line break in code.source; an entry past the last line marks nothing.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n### `opf/code-highlight-range-reversed`\n\nDefault severity: **warning**. Cost: structure. A code highlight range ends before it starts.\n\n**Why.** A range written end before start marks nothing; write the smaller line number first.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n### `opf/variable-builtin-missing`\n\nDefault severity: **warning**. Cost: structure. A built-in variable has no value in this document.\n\n**Why.** A `{{deck.*}}`, `{{speaker.*}}` or `{{organization.*}}` token whose field the document does not set resolves to nothing, so the text shows a gap. `{{slide.section}}` is checked per slide: a slide without a `section` that uses it, in its own text or in the header or footer it inherits, is reported at that slide.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n### `opf/duration-outside-narrative`\n\nDefault severity: **warning**. Cost: structure. The target duration is outside the range the narrative suits.\n\n**Why.** A narrative records the talk lengths it suits. A deck whose duration is outside that range probably needs a different narrative or a different length; nothing is drawn or exported differently.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n### `opf/narrative-duration-range`\n\nDefault severity: **warning**. Cost: structure. An inline narrative duration range has min greater than max.\n\n**Why.** A range with its bounds swapped matches no duration, so the duration check cannot help.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/narrative.schema.json\n\n### `opf/placeholder-text`\n\nDefault severity: **warning**. Cost: structure. Placeholder text was left in the deck.\n\n**Why.** \"Lorem ipsum\", \"Click to add title\", \"TBD\" and bracketed prompts are scaffolding. Shipping them reads as unfinished work.\n\n**Approximations.** Case-insensitive patterns for lorem ipsum, template prompts (\"Click to add...\", \"Your title here\", \"[Insert ...]\", a bare \"Title\" or \"Text\"), and the markers TBD, TBC, TODO, FIXME and XXX in capitals. A deliberate use of the words is flagged too; disable the rule for that slide with ignorePaths.\n\n### `opf/empty-text`\n\nDefault severity: **info**. Cost: structure. A text field is present but empty.\n\n**Why.** An empty title, text block or list item draws nothing, and leaves a hole in the outline and for assistive technology.\n\n### `opf/unused-beat`\n\nDefault severity: **info**. Cost: structure. A beat of the narrative has no slide that references it.\n\n**Why.** The narrative is the plan and the slides are the product. When some slides name a beat (slides[].beat) and a beat of the plan has none, the deck skips a step of the story or the plan is out of date.\n\n**Approximations.** Resolved like every content reference: the document's catalogs groups, then the registered catalogs. A narrative that resolves nowhere is not checked. A deck in which no slide references any beat is not checked either, because it has not linked its slides to the plan. A slide that lists several beats covers each of them.\n\n### `opf/empty-slide`\n\nDefault severity: **warning**. Cost: structure. A slide has no content at all.\n\n**Why.** A slide with no title, no content and no picture is almost always an accident of editing. (A deliberately blank slide can use the blank layout.)\n\n### `opf/language-tag`\n\nDefault severity: **warning**. Cost: structure. A language tag is malformed, uses an unassigned region or is not in canonical case.\n\n**Why.** Engines read the deck language and each run's `lang` as BCP 47 tags to choose script fonts, text direction, proofing language and the PowerPoint `lang` attribute. A tag such as `en-a`, or a region that does not exist (`en-UK`; the United Kingdom is `GB`), is guessed at or dropped, and a wrong-case tag (`EN-us`) is not what a locale lookup expects.\n\n**Basis.** BCP 47 (RFC 5646, section 2.1) and the platform locale data (Intl.getCanonicalLocales, Intl.DisplayNames)\n\n**Approximations.** Checks the root `language` (a tag string, or the `bcp47` of an inline Language object) and `lang` on the TextRun objects of titles, subtitles, tags, text, lists, tables, quotes, metrics and timelines. A region is assigned when the runtime's CLDR data names it (ISO 3166-1 codes and UN M.49 areas such as 419); private-use regions (`AA`, `QM`-`QZ`, `XA`-`XZ`) and `ZZ` are accepted, as are private-use (`x-...`) tags. Only the spelling of a tag is checked, not whether the language subtag is assigned or whether the language suits the text. The schema rejects tags with characters other than letters, digits and hyphens (`en_US` is a schema error, with no suggestion), and `en-UK` as the deck language is already an error of the schema rule, so those are not reported twice.\n\n<!-- validate-rules:end -->\n"
+    "markdown": "# OPF validate: one checker for format, references, accessibility, layout and content\n\n`validate` in `@openpresentation/opf` and `opf validate` in the CLI check an OPF presentation for everything a tool can tell without an opinion: whether it is well-formed OPF, whether everything it points at resolves, whether a host's house rules hold, and the problems a schema cannot see, such as text that is hard to read, text that does not fit, pictures without alt text, content read out of order, fonts outside the deck's scheme, placeholder text and slides left empty. It is the only checker. Releases before 0.14 had several (a schema validator, a lint and an audit, in the library and the CLI); 0.14 replaces them all with `validate`.\n\n`validate` is read-only, local and deterministic. It fetches nothing (no images, fonts or catalogs), consults no clock and calls no model. The same document, options and fonts give byte-identical findings.\n\n```sh\nopf validate deck.opf.json                                     # everything, JSON report\nopf validate deck.opf.json --format text                       # one line per finding\nopf validate deck.opf.json --only format,references --fail-on warning\nopf validate deck.opf.json --ignore layout --config house-rules.json\nopf validate --list-rules\n```\n\n```js\nimport { validate } from '@openpresentation/opf';\n\nconst report = validate(presentation);           // a parsed presentation\nconst fromText = validate(fileText);             // strict JSON text: also syntax, duplicate keys and line/column\nvalidate(presentation, { only: ['format'] });    // the cheap check: schema and semantic rules only\nvalidate(presentation, { ignore: ['layout'] });  // everything except the checks that build slide layouts\nvalidate(presentation, { contracts, severity: { 'opf/text-contrast': 'error' } }); // house rules\n```\n\n## Categories\n\nEvery finding has one of six categories. They say what kind of question the finding answers, and they select what runs.\n\n| Category | Asks | Errors by default | Examples |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `format` | Is it well-formed OPF? | yes | JSON syntax, duplicate keys, schema, a citation of an unknown reference, an unknown dataset, a required variable with no value (a warning in a template), a `name:id` prefix that names no catalog group |\n| `references` | Does everything it points at resolve? | missing or circular asset, invalid catalog record; a reference that resolves nowhere and an unused dataset are warnings | `asset:` references, catalog references, citations and datasets nobody uses |\n| `policy` | Does it follow the host's house rules? | the host sets it (default `error`) | \"only these layouts\", brand fonts: the `contracts` option |\n| `accessibility` | Can everyone read it? | no: warning and info | contrast, alt text, slide titles, reading order, link text, language |\n| `layout` | Will it present as authored? | no: warning | overflow, minimum type size, image resolution, fonts outside the scheme |\n| `content` | Is anything left unfinished? | no: warning and info | placeholder text, an empty slide, a chart value that is text |\n\n`valid` keeps meaning \"correct OPF\": it is true when no finding has severity `error`, and by default only `format`, `references` and `policy` can produce one. A low-contrast deck is still a valid deck. A team promotes the rules it cares about with `severity`.\n\nEvery rule is listed, with its category, default severity, cost and the basis it rests on, in [Rules](#rules) below. A rule stays in core only when it has a measurable basis (a standard such as WCAG 2.2, a print-preflight check, or a number computed from the layout); judgments that need an audience and a purpose, such as how many fonts or words a deck should have, are not rules here.\n\n## Input and report\n\n`validate(input, options?)` takes a parsed presentation (an object) or **strict JSON text**. A string is read as JSON and nothing else: it is never sniffed for YAML or Markdown. When the text begins like YAML (`key: value`, `---`) or Markdown (`#`), the `help` of the syntax finding says to read it with `fromYaml` or `fromMarkdown` first, which return a presentation and call `validate` for you.\n\nWith text, a syntax error or a duplicate key comes back with `location` (original-source UTF-16 offset and length, one-based line and column), and so does every finding about a value in the document; a finding about a missing field is located at the object that lacks it. Text that is not JSON reports its syntax errors (`opf/json-syntax`) whatever `only` says, because nothing else can run.\n\n### Reading a deck in any form\n\n`parse(text, { format, filename, catalogs })` (the root and `@openpresentation/opf/deck`, RR-60, RR-62) reads a deck from JSON, YAML or Markdown text and returns the presentation; a syntax, schema or reference error throws `OPFValidationError`, whose `report` is the report `validate` gives the text. The format is the `format` option (`\"json\"`, `\"yaml\"` or `\"markdown\"`), else the `filename` (`.opf.md` is Markdown, `.yaml` and `.yml` are YAML, anything else is JSON), and never the content: a plain `.md` name is not a deck. Findings are located in the text that was read: `opf/json-syntax` (line and column) for JSON, `yaml/<rule>` for YAML and `markdown/<rule>` for Markdown, and every `opf/` finding at the field it names. `parse` checks format and references; warnings do not throw, so call `validate` for the full report (`validate(text)` for JSON text; `fromYaml` and `fromMarkdown` return it for the other forms). It throws a `TypeError` for a text that is not a string, an unknown format or a bad option. `stringify(presentation, { format | filename })` is the other direction: JSON as two-space JSON, YAML and Markdown in canonical form. Both are browser-safe; `open` and `save` of `@openpresentation/opf` do the same for files in Node. See [OPF as YAML](yaml.md) and [Markdown and outlines](markdown.md).\n\nThe report is a [`FindingReport`](finding-schema-reference.md) (`spec/schemas/finding.schema.json`) with a few more fields:\n\n| Field | Meaning |\n| --- | --- |\n| `valid` | No finding has severity `error` |\n| `findings` | Every finding, ordered by slide (document-level findings first), then category, then rule |\n| `counts` | `{ error, warning, info }` |\n| `schemaValid` | The document passes the schema and the semantic format checks; `null` for text that is not JSON. A required variable with no value does not make a document schema-invalid |\n| `checks` | What ran and what was not measured (below) |\n| `template`, `unfilledVariables` | Documents that declare content variables or are templates: whether they were checked as a template, and which required variables have no value |\n\nA finding has a stable `ruleId` (`opf/text-contrast`), a `severity` (`error`, `warning`, `info`), a `category`, a JSON Pointer `path`, a `message`, a `help` sentence and a `definition` link to the rule below or to the schema constraint. It may carry `slide` and `slideId` (zero-based index and id of the slide it belongs to), `location` (from text), `measured` (the numbers behind it: ratios, sizes, counts), `suggestions` (catalog records that exist, never silently applied), `lookup` (arguments for `opf schema` or `opf catalog`, not a shell string), `validation` (the raw schema issue, with every union alternative) and `fixes`.\n\n`checks` says what each part did: `syntax` (`checked` for text), `schema`, `references`, `policy`, `accessibility` and `content` are `checked` or `not-run`; `layout` is `not-run`, `estimated` (text widths are core's portable estimate) or `measured` (the host passed `fonts.textMeasurement`); background picture pixels are never read (`backgroundPixels`), image resolution reads only embedded `data:` images (`imageBytes`), and native PowerPoint rendering is not checked (`nativeExport`).\n\nA document the schema rejects is not audited: its accessibility, layout and content rules do not run, and its format errors are reported even when `only` did not ask for them, so the report says why nothing else ran (switch them off with `ignore: ['format']`).\n\n## Options\n\n```js\nvalidate(presentation, {\n  only: ['format', 'opf/missing-alt-text'],       // run just these rules or categories\n  ignore: ['layout'],                             // do not run these\n  severity: { 'opf/text-contrast': 'error', content: 'off' }, // per rule or category: error, warning, info or off\n  ignorePaths: [{ rule: 'opf/text-contrast', path: '/slides/3' }], // an accepted exception, by JSON Pointer prefix\n  catalogs: [defaultCatalog, acmeCatalog],        // the catalogs the host registered (the first is the default); nothing is fetched\n  contracts,                                      // host policy (below)\n  thresholds: { contrastNormal: 7 },              // see DEFAULT_VALIDATION_THRESHOLDS\n  fonts,                                          // the host's fonts: layout rules read fonts.textMeasurement\n  chartPalette: ['#0072B2', '#E69F00'],           // the engine's chart colours\n  template: true, values: { client: 'Acme' },     // check as a template, or fill variables first\n});\n```\n\n- **Names.** `only`, `ignore`, `severity` and `ignorePaths` take full rule ids (`opf/text-contrast`), bare rule names (`text-contrast`) or category names (`accessibility`). No rule is named like a category. A rule beats its category in `severity`. An unknown rule, category, threshold or option throws a `TypeError`, so a typo cannot silently disable a check.\n- **`fonts`.** An object with a `textMeasurement` (the renderer's `loadFonts()` result has one). Without it the layout rules use core's portable estimate and `checks.layout` says `estimated`; with it, `measured`. `textMeasurement` may also be a function of the zero-based slide index, for a script-aware measurement per slide. When the measurement has a `forScripts(profile)` method (a script planner), the layout rules ask it for each slide's script-aware measurement, built from the slide's `resolveScriptFonts` profile and a run language's own profile, the way the renderer and the exporter measure, so Arabic or Japanese text is measured in its script face rather than the Latin face its style names.\n- **`template` and `values`.** A deck that declares content variables is checked as the deck it resolves to; see [templates and variables](templates-and-variables.md).\n- **Thresholds.** `DEFAULT_VALIDATION_THRESHOLDS` holds `contrastNormal`, `contrastLarge`, `minFontSizePt`, `minImagePpi` and `minSeriesColorDifference`; each rule below lists the ones it reads.\n\n`validationRules` lists every rule with its metadata (`id`, `name`, `category`, `severity`, `cost`, `summary`, `rationale`, `standard`, `approximations`, `thresholds`), and `findValidationRule(name)` finds one by id or bare name.\n\n`assertValid(value, options?)` throws `OPFValidationError`, carrying the `report` and its error `findings`, unless `validate(value, options)` is valid, and tells TypeScript that `value` is a `Presentation`. It takes a parsed value, not text.\n\n`validateCatalogRecord(kind, record)` and `assertValidCatalogRecord(kind, record)` check one catalog record (an audience, theme, layout, font scheme and so on) against its schema. The report has the same shape; its findings are `format`, and a record that links to an unknown id only warns.\n\n## Cost\n\n`validate` is lazy: it builds only what the rules you ask for need. Measured with Node 24 on three bundled example decks (milliseconds per call, warm; your machine will differ, the ratios hold):\n\n| Call | `minimal` (3 slides) | `renewal-save-plan` (6 slides, 34 KB) | `broadband-public-hearing-deck` (10 slides, 41 KB) |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `only: ['format']` | 0.06 | 0.23 | 0.64 |\n| `only: ['format', 'references']` | 0.7 | 5.2 | 7.6 |\n| everything (the default) | 1.7 | 24 | 32 |\n\n`only: ['format']` costs what the schema check alone costs; it builds no layout. The references walk reads the schema alongside the document and costs about ten times as much. The rules of `layout` (and `opf/text-contrast`, `opf/text-on-image` and `opf/reading-order`) compose every slide and are most of the cost of a full run. Each rule's `cost` says which it needs: `syntax` reads the JSON text, `structure` reads the document alone, `composition` builds slide layouts.\n\nThe default runs everything, so an agent or CI job never gets \"valid\" for a deck that overflows, and the hot paths say what they need: pagination, conversion, patch validation and the editor's per-edit check use `{ only: ['format'] }`; the CLI's write, render, export and import commands use `{ only: ['format', 'references'] }`, so a contrast warning never blocks an export.\n\n## Quick fixes\n\nA fix is a suggestion that core never applies. A host such as the editor's Review panel shows it and applies it through its own undoable edit path.\n\n- A `patch` fix (`kind: \"patch\"`, the default) carries RFC 6902 JSON Patch operations in `patch` (`add`, `remove`, `replace`, `move`, `copy`, `test`, with JSON Pointer paths). `safe: true` means the change cannot alter what the content says: for example switching a failing text colour to the colour the theme chose for that background.\n- A `focus` fix (`kind: \"focus\"`) names the field the author must fill in (`focus.path`, `focus.field`: `alt`, `title`, `text`, `link`, `language`, `fontSize`).\n- `safe: false` patches change meaning or appearance and need a deliberate click, for example marking a picture decorative with an empty `alt`.\n\n`title` says what applying the fix does.\n\n## Catalog context and contracts\n\nContent references resolve the way every engine resolves them ([catalogs](default-catalog.md)): `catalogs.custom`, then the records embedded under `catalogs.default`, then the catalog the host registered (the `catalogs` option) for its source; `name:id` in `catalogs.<name>`, then the catalog registered for its source. A reference that resolves nowhere is a warning (`opf/unresolved-reference`), never an error; a prefix that names no group is a format error (`opf/undeclared-catalog`): it can never resolve, so engines reject the document at their format check (`validate(document, { only: [\"format\"] })`) instead of drawing a fallback. A `catalogs` option that is not an array of registered catalogs throws `OPFCatalogsOptionError` (`code: \"invalid-catalogs\"`) at every entry point. Nothing is fetched, and without the `catalogs` option only the records the document embeds resolve. Free-form audience and purpose descriptions (any string that is not a bare id or `name:id`) and arbitrary `extensions` data are never references; the `language` tag, `chart.type` and the `socials` keys are engine vocabularies the schema checks. Embedded records, and registered records the document uses, are validated against their companion schema (`opf/catalog-record`). A record under `catalogs.default` or a named group that the catalog registered for the group's source does not publish is `opf/catalog-record-not-in-source` (move it to `catalogs.custom`); with no catalog registered for that source the check is silent. Suggestions name records actually present in the checked context (`origin` `document` or `registered`).\n\nAn `asset:` reference that names no entry of the document's `assets` registry is an error (`opf/asset-reference`), and so is a cycle of `asset:` sources (`opf/asset-cycle`); resource bytes are never fetched. Chart and table data findings keep their code as the rule id (`opf/dataset-unknown`, `opf/chart-value-not-numeric`, ...), and a `opf/chart-value-not-numeric` cell whose column is written in one display style (`\"12%\"`, `\"$1,234\"`) carries `fixes` ([chart and table data](chart-table-data.md#migration-help)). Citation and caption errors keep theirs too (`opf/cite-unknown-reference`, `opf/reference-id-duplicate`, `opf/cite-unsupported-location`, `opf/caption-unsupported-payload`).\n\nA narrative the document defines is a record in `catalogs.custom.narratives`, and `narrative` is always a reference string. When the narrative resolves, a `slides[].beat` id it does not define is `opf/unknown-beat`, a root `duration` outside the record's `duration` range is `opf/duration-outside-narrative`, an embedded record whose `duration.min` exceeds `duration.max` is `opf/narrative-duration-range`, and a beat no slide references is `opf/unused-beat` (only once some slide names a beat). A slide-level `design.theme` whose resolved dimensions differ from the deck's is `opf/slide-theme-dimensions`: a PPTX has one slide size, and a slide's `design` cannot set `dimensions` at all (a schema error). An undeclared `var:<id>` in a solid, gradient-stop or pattern background colour warns like any other colour reference (`opf/variable-reference-unknown`).\n\nHost policy comes from explicit options, never from the document: fields under `extensions` are data and cannot install policy. `contracts` and `catalogs` may live in a local JSON file for the CLI (`--config`).\n\n```json\n{\n  \"catalogs\": {\n    \"layouts\": [\n      {\"id\":\"partner-title\",\"name\":\"Partner title\",\"placeholders\":[{\"type\":\"title\"}]}\n    ]\n  },\n  \"contracts\": [\n    {\n      \"path\":\"/slides/*/layout\",\n      \"allowedValues\":[\"partner-title\",\"text-1x\"],\n      \"message\":\"Use the brand layouts {{allowed}} at {{path}}. See {{file}}.\",\n      \"documentation\":\"brand-guide.md#layouts\",\n      \"severity\":\"error\"\n    }\n  ]\n}\n```\n\nContract paths are JSON Pointer patterns: `~0` escapes `~`, `~1` escapes `/`, and a whole `*` segment matches one property or array index. Contracts check existing fields; they do not require an omitted field or insert defaults. Allowed values are JSON primitives. Optional message placeholders are `{{path}}`, `{{value}}`, `{{allowed}}`, and `{{file}}`. A contract's severity is `error` unless it says otherwise. Invalid or misspelled configuration keys fail instead of being ignored. Messages and catalog labels are data, not executable instructions.\n\n## The CLI\n\n`opf validate <file|-> [--config <file>] [--only <list>] [--ignore <list>] [--fail-on <error|warning|info>] [--format <json|text>] [--list-rules]`\n\nThe JSON report (the default) is the `validate` report plus the source's SHA-256 (`sha256`), the installed core version (`opfVersion`) and, with `--config`, the configuration file's path and hash (`context`). `--format text` prints one line per finding (`file:line:column  severity  rule  message`), the JSON Pointer path, a hint and any fix, then a summary. `--list-rules` prints every rule (`--format json` with its full metadata).\n\nA file ending `.yaml` or `.yml` (or stdin with `--from yaml`) is read as YAML through `fromYaml`, so the report is the same and every finding is located in the YAML; a YAML syntax or dialect error is a `yaml/<rule>` finding (`format`, exit 1). A file ending `.opf.md` (or stdin with `--from md`) is read as a [Markdown deck](markdown.md#markdown-decks-in-every-command) the same way, and a Markdown error is a `markdown/<rule>` finding. A plain `.md` file, and any other text that does not start with `{` or `[`, needs `--from`.\n\n`--only` and `--ignore` take comma-separated rule ids, bare names or category names. `--config` takes an explicit local JSON file, never `-`, holding `{ catalogs, contracts, severity, only, ignore, ignorePaths, thresholds, chartPalette }`; `--only` replaces the file's `only` and `--ignore` adds to its `ignore`.\n\n| Exit | Meaning |\n| --- | --- |\n| 0 | No finding at or above `--fail-on` (default `error`) |\n| 1 | At least one finding at or above `--fail-on`, or a document that is not valid JSON (or YAML) |\n| 2 | Usage, configuration or I/O error |\n\n`--fail-on` is the one way to say \"fail on warnings\" on every command that checks a document: `--fail-on warning`. Other commands (`create`, `edit`, `fill`, `paginate`, `bundle`, `ingest`, `render`, `export`, `import`, `from-md`, `from-yaml`) check only `format` and `references` of what they write and take `--fail-on` the same way.\n\n## How contrast is computed\n\n`opf/text-contrast` reasons about the colours the preview draws, because a check against a different colour than the one on screen is worse than none.\n\n1. **Background.** Design resolves per field: slide design, deck design, theme, engine default. The background is a theme slot or colour (`solid`), the card surface for content on a `contentBox` card, a table cell's fill, a gradient or a pattern. Solid, gradient-stop and pattern colours are read as literal hex colours, as the preview reads them (anything else falls back as it does there). Translucent backgrounds are composited over white.\n2. **Text colour.** Titles, body, lists and tags use the scheme's `dark1`, or `light1` when the background is dark (luminance below 0.179). Furniture and quote attributions use the muted colour, metric values the primary colour, and explicit run and table colours the author's `ColorRef` resolved the same way the renderer resolves it. As the preview does, a gradient background has no single colour and counts as light, so a dark gradient behind default text is reported.\n3. **Gradients.** The gradient is sampled on a 5 by 5 grid over the area the text covers (the lines' measured ink, aligned as the text is), using the preview's gradient geometry, and the worst colour decides. A pattern contributes both of its colours.\n4. **Pictures.** Pixels are never read. A background picture is bounded by a grey ramp from black to white, composited through the picture opacity and any full-frame overlay of the image background (`design.background.overlay`). Text passes only if every step passes; otherwise `opf/text-on-image` says the result cannot be guaranteed. An overlay limited to an edge band is not counted.\n5. **Ratio and size.** The WCAG 2.x relative-luminance contrast ratio is compared with 4.5:1, or 3:1 for large text: at least 18 pt, or 14 pt and bold. Sizes are the fitted sizes, expressed at the 13.33 by 7.5 in reference slide (96 px per inch). The default body size, 18.75 pt, is large text under WCAG, so default body text passes at 3:1; set `contrastLarge` to 4.5 for a stricter policy.\n\nApproximations: anti-aliasing, text shadows, font weight and the exact glyph coverage are not modelled; chart and code text are not checked (charts pick label colours against their surface; code uses its own panel colours). See each rule below for what it cannot see.\n\n## Layout rules use composition\n\nOverflow, minimum type size, reading order and image resolution use `composeSlide` at the deck's slide size with the resolved font scheme, the same composition the preview and the PPTX export consume. Without `fonts.textMeasurement` the text widths are core's portable estimate and can differ from the real fonts by a few percent; hosts that load fonts (the editor, the renderer) pass their measurement for font-exact results. A composition with `overflow: \"error\"` fails at composition time; `validate` still computes the geometry, relaxes the setting, and reports the overflow as a **warning**, so that `valid` never depends on font metrics. Rendering and export still refuse such a slide when it does not fit, and a host that wants the finding to fail promotes it with `severity: { 'opf/text-overflow': 'error' }`.\n\nPromoted region keys (`left`, `center`, `right`, `top:left` and the rest) are composed in visual reading order (rows from top to bottom, then along the row), whatever order the keys are written in. The PPTX export writes shapes in that order, which is the reading order of assistive technology; `opf/reading-order` checks that the composed order still matches the geometry (the same `visualReadingOrder` that composes the regions). Authoring with `blocks` (an ordered list) keeps the reading order equal to the visual order.\n\n## Templates and variables\n\n`opf/variable-unfilled` is one rule for a required variable that has no value. In a deck that is not a template it is an error (the deck is incomplete), so `valid` is false; in a template (`\"template\": true` in the document, or `template: true` in the options) it is a warning, because a template is incomplete on purpose; `unfilledVariables` lists the ids either way. In a document that declares no content variables, a `{{id}}` token left in a string (outside `variables`, `extensions`, `catalogs` and `assets`) is a warning. A `var:` colour that names no declared variable is `opf/variable-reference-unknown`. It is a `format` rule, so `only: ['format']` (what pagination, patching, conversion and every write command run) rejects a deck with an unfilled required variable. Fill a template with `opf fill` or `resolveVariables`, or pass `values`, to clear the findings.\n\n## Rules\n\nThe reference below is generated from the rule registry (`validationRules`); `node

Cost: syntax. The text is not strict JSON.\n\n**Why.** Every OPF tool reads JSON. A misplaced comma, quote, comment or trailing comma makes the file unreadable, and the range says where.\n\n**Basis.** RFC 8259 (strict JSON: no comments, no trailing commas)\n\n**Approximations.** Only text input is checked. A string is always read as JSON; a text that looks like YAML or Markdown gets a hint to use fromYaml or fromMarkdown first.\n\n### `opf/duplicate-key`\n\nDefault severity: **error**. Cost: syntax. A JSON object repeats a key.\n\n**Why.** JSON.parse keeps only the last value of a repeated key, so the earlier one disappears without a trace. The check compares escaped and literal spellings of the same key.\n\n**Basis.** RFC 8259 section 4 (names within an object should be unique)\n\n### `opf/schema`\n\nDefault severity: **error**. Cost: structure. The document breaks the OPF schema or a structural rule the schema cannot express.\n\n**Why.** The schema is the contract every engine, exporter and editor relies on. A field of the wrong type, a missing required field, an unknown property or content fields that cannot be mixed make the document ambiguous or undrawable.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n**Approximations.** All alternatives of a union are reported, with the failing schema location in `validation`. A required variable with no value is reported by `opf/variable-unfilled`, in the same category.\n\n### `opf/reference-id-duplicate`\n\nDefault severity: **error**. Cost: structure. Two references share an id.\n\n**Why.** A citation names a reference by id; a repeated id makes it ambiguous which entry is cited.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n### `opf/cite-unknown-reference`\n\nDefault severity: **error**. Cost: structure. A citation names a reference that does not exist.\n\n**Why.** A cited id with no entry in `references` has nothing to show in the footnote area.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n### `opf/cite-unsupported-location`\n\nDefault severity: **error**. Cost: structure. A citation or footnote sits where no engine draws it.\n\n**Why.** `cite` and `footnote` apply to runs in text, bullets and list items; table cells, captions, and reference and footnote texts have no marker.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n### `opf/caption-unsupported-payload`\n\nDefault severity: **error**. Cost: structure. A caption is on a payload that cannot carry one.\n\n**Why.** A caption belongs to exactly one image, chart, table or video; a group, text or code block has no place to draw it.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n### `opf/image-option-unsupported-payload`\n\nDefault severity: **error**. Cost: structure. An image option is on a payload that is not an image.\n\n**Why.** `fit`, `focus`, the image treatments (`shape`, `cornerRadius`, `border`, `opacity`, `recolor`, `overlay`, `aspectRatio`) and `placement` describe how a picture is drawn; a group, text or chart block has no picture for them to apply to.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n### `opf/image-placement-invalid`\n\nDefault severity: **error**. Cost: structure. An image placement cannot be honoured.\n\n**Why.** A placed image bleeds to a slide edge and the rest of the slide composes beside it. Only a top-level block (slides.N.blocks.I) can do that, and a slide edge holds one placed image; a block in a group or a promoted region, or a second block on the same edge, has nowhere to go.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n### `opf/layout-placeholder-group`\n\nDefault severity: **error**. Cost: structure. A layout record's placeholder group breaks a nesting rule.\n\n**Why.** A placeholder group arranges body regions inside one cell of its layout record. Groups nest at most three levels inside a record, and a group holds body regions and groups only: the headings (title, subtitle, tag) stay at the record's top level, where the engine places them. Composition cannot use a record that breaks either rule.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n### `opf/dataset-unknown`\n\nDefault severity: **error**. Cost: structure. A chart or table names a dataset that does not exist.\n\n**Why.** The data cannot be drawn without the dataset it refers to.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n### `opf/dataset-field-unknown`\n\nDefault severity: **error**. Cost: structure. A table asks a dataset for a column it does not have.\n\n**Why.** The column cannot be shown when the dataset has no column of that name.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n### `opf/data-column-duplicate`\n\nDefault severity: **error**. Cost: structure. A dataset or table has two columns with the same name.\n\n**Why.** Series, mappings and fields address columns by name, so a repeated name makes them ambiguous.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n### `opf/chart-mapping-unknown-column`\n\nDefault severity: **error**. Cost: structure. A chart mapping names a column the data does not have.\n\n**Why.** The series cannot be built from a column that is not there.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n### `opf/number-format-invalid`\n\nDefault severity: **error**. Cost: structure. A number format cannot be read.\n\n**Why.** A format code that no engine can parse is drawn as the plain number or fails to export.\n\n**Basis.** Excel number format codes, as far as OPF supports them\n\n### `opf/variable-invalid-value`\n\nDefault severity: **error**. Cost: structure. A variable value does not match its declared type.\n\n**Why.** A number variable given text, or a date given a non-date, cannot be filled into the deck.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n### `opf/variable-unknown-builtin`\n\nDefault severity: **error**. Cost: structure. A token names a built-in variable that does not exist.\n\n**Why.** The `deck.`, `speaker.`, `organization.` and `slide.` names (and `speakers`) are reserved for built-in variables; a name under them that is not a built-in can never be filled, so the token would show literally. The slide-scoped `slide.number`, `slide.section` and `deck.slideCount` are inline tokens only, so `var:slide.*` and `var:deck.slideCount` are reported too; organization logos are whole-field references only (`var:organization.logo.icon`), so a `{{organization.logo}}` token, an unknown logo shape or an unknown organization id is reported.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n### `opf/chart-highlight-unknown-name`\n\nDefault severity: **error**. Cost: structure. A chart highlight names a series or category the chart does not have.\n\n**Why.** `chart.highlight` emphasises marks by name; a name that matches no series or category in the chart data highlights nothing, so the chart is not drawn as authored.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n### `opf/variable-format`\n\nDefault severity: **error**. Cost: structure. A variable cannot be formatted.\n\n**Why.** A number or date format that does not apply to the value leaves the token unreadable.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n### `opf/variable-unfilled`\n\nDefault severity: **error**. Cost: structure. A required template variable has no value.\n\n**Why.** A variable a deck declares as required, with no value, is template scaffolding: `{{name}}` tokens show up literally and colour variables fall back to a default. A normal deck must be filled, so this is an error and the deck is not valid; a template (`template: true`) is incomplete on purpose, so it is a warning.\n\n**Approximations.** Required variables are those the variable machinery reports as unfilled for the document (declared, no value, not `required: false`, not given by the `values` option). For a document that declares no content variables, `{{id}}` / `{{id|format}}` tokens (`{{` escapes) left in any string outside `variables`, `extensions`, `catalogs` and `assets` are reported as warnings. `var:` colour references with no declaration are reported as `opf/variable-reference-unknown`. Fill a template with `opf fill` or `resolveVariables` to clear the findings.\n\n### `opf/run-color-unrecognized`\n\nDefault severity: **warning**. Cost: structure. A text run colour is none of the documented forms.\n\n**Why.** Run colours are open strings so imported decks stay valid, but a value that is not a hex colour, a colour-scheme name or a `var:` reference falls back to the theme colour.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n### `opf/numbering-start-ignored`\n\nDefault severity: **warning**. Cost: structure. A list entry sets `start` where nothing is numbered.\n\n**Why.** A start value only restarts an auto-number; without `numbering` on the payload it has no effect.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n### `opf/undeclared-catalog`\n\nDefault severity: **error**. Cost: structure. A reference names a catalog group the document does not declare.\n\n**Why.** The prefix of a `name:id` reference names the group of `catalogs` it resolves in. A prefix with no group can never resolve, whatever the host registers, so it is a format error: engines reject the document at their format check instead of drawing a fallback.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n\n## References rules\n\n*Does everything it points at resolve?*\n\n### `opf/asset-reference`\n\nDefault severity: **error**. Cost: structure. An `asset:` reference names an asset that is not in the registry.\n\n**Why.** An image, logo or video that points at a missing asset cannot be drawn or exported. The check reads the document's own registry only; no file or URL is fetched.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n### `opf/asset-cycle`\n\nDefault severity: **error**. Cost: structure. Asset references form a cycle.\n\n**Why.** An asset whose source points back at itself never resolves to a file.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n### `opf/catalog-record`\n\nDefault severity: **error**. Cost: structure. An embedded or registered catalog record is invalid.\n\n**Why.** A record that fails its companion schema cannot be resolved. Invalid records are left out of the lookup, so the references to them are reported too.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/<kind>.schema.json\n\n### `opf/unresolved-reference`\n\nDefault severity: **warning**. Cost: structure. A content reference resolves nowhere.\n\n**Why.** A layout, theme, colour scheme, font scheme, narrative, audience, purpose or tone reference that neither the document embeds nor a registered catalog defines falls back: a slide composes automatically, a design uses the engine default. A strict export fails instead. A slide with no layout is automatic composition and is never reported.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n**Approximations.** Resolved like every engine resolves it: catalogs.custom, then the records embedded under catalogs.default, then the catalog registered for its source (the first registered catalog when `default` is omitted); `name:id` in catalogs.<name>, then the catalog registered for its source. Nothing is fetched. Free-form audience and purpose text is not a reference.\n\n### `opf/catalog-record-not-in-source`\n\nDefault severity: **warning**. Cost: structure. A record embedded under a catalog group is not in that catalog.\n\n**Why.** A record under catalogs.default or a named group says it came from the catalog its source names. When the catalog the host registered for that source has no record of that kind and id, the record is the document's own and belongs in catalogs.custom, where an update from the catalog never looks for it. Rendering is unchanged: the embedded record still wins.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n**Approximations.** Checked only against a catalog the host registered for the group's source (the first registered catalog for an omitted default.source); with none registered for it the check is silent. A record the catalog has with different content is an update difference (updateFromCatalog), not this finding. catalogs.custom is never checked.\n\n### `opf/unused-reference`\n\nDefault severity: **warning**. Cost: structure. A reference is never cited.\n\n**Why.** A listed reference that no run cites is not drawn anywhere.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n### `opf/unused-dataset`\n\nDefault severity: **warning**. Cost: structure. A dataset is never used.\n\n**Why.** A dataset no chart or table references is not drawn anywhere.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n### `opf/unknown-beat`\n\nDefault severity: **warning**. Cost: structure. A slide names a beat its narrative does not define.\n\n**Why.** `slides[].beat` links a slide to a step of the narrative plan. A beat id the narrative does not have links to nothing; nothing is drawn from a beat.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n**Approximations.** The narrative resolves like every content reference: the document's catalogs groups, then the registered catalogs. A narrative that resolves nowhere is not checked.\n\n### `opf/slide-theme-dimensions`\n\nDefault severity: **warning**. Cost: structure. A slide theme sets a slide size that differs from the deck.\n\n**Why.** A PPTX has one slide size. The size a slide-level theme carries is never used: design.dimensions of the deck (or of its theme) wins in every engine, and without them the exporter stops with mixed slide sizes.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n### `opf/variable-unknown`\n\nDefault severity: **warning**. Cost: structure. A `{{token}}` names a variable that is not declared.\n\n**Why.** An undeclared token is shown literally.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n### `opf/variable-unknown-value`\n\nDefault severity: **warning**. Cost: structure. A value was supplied for a variable that is not declared.\n\n**Why.** The value is never used.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n### `opf/variable-unused`\n\nDefault severity: **warning**. Cost: structure. A variable is declared but never used.\n\n**Why.** A declaration nothing refers to has no effect.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n### `opf/variable-reference-unknown`\n\nDefault severity: **warning**. Cost: structure. A `var:` colour names a variable that is not declared.\n\n**Why.** An undeclared colour variable falls back to a default colour.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n\n## Policy rules\n\n*Does it follow the host's house rules?*\n\n### `opf/contract`\n\nDefault severity: **error**. Cost: structure. A field is outside the values a host policy allows.\n\n**Why.** A host that needs brand layouts, fonts or other fixed choices states them as contracts. The default severity is error; a contract can set its own. Document metadata never installs policy.\n\n**Approximations.** Only the `contracts` option supplies policy, and it checks existing fields: a contract does not require an omitted field or insert a default.\n\n\n## Accessibility rules\n\n*Can everyone read it?*\n\n### `opf/text-contrast`\n\nDefault severity: **warning**. Cost: composition. Text colour has too little contrast against the background it sits on.\n\n**Why.** Low-contrast text is hard or impossible to read for people with low vision, colour-vision differences, glare on a projector or a poor display. WCAG sets 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text.\n\n**Basis.** WCAG 2.2 SC 1.4.3 Contrast (Minimum), level AA\n\n**Thresholds.** `contrastNormal` (default 4.5), `contrastLarge` (default 3)\n\n**Approximations.** Computed on sRGB colours with the WCAG relative-luminance formula, against the background the preview draws: a solid or theme colour, the card surface, a table cell fill, every colour a gradient takes under the text box (sampled on a 5x5 grid, angle respected), or both colours of a pattern. Anti-aliasing, text shadows and font weight are not modelled. Text colour is the preview's (the scheme's text role or dark1 on a light background and light1 on a dark one, chosen from the background luminance, where a gradient or picture background uses the scheme's default background colour), so a default can fail on a dark gradient. A link with no colour of its own is measured in the scheme's hyperlink colour.\n\n### `opf/text-on-image`\n\nDefault severity: **info**. Cost: composition. Text sits on a background picture whose pixels cannot be measured.\n\n**Why.** Contrast over a photograph depends on the photograph. Without a full-frame overlay that guarantees readability for every possible image, the result cannot be certified from the document.\n\n**Basis.** WCAG 2.2 SC 1.4.3 Contrast (Minimum), level AA\n\n**Thresholds.** `contrastNormal` (default 4.5), `contrastLarge` (default 3)\n\n**Approximations.** Core never reads picture pixels. The picture is bounded by a grey ramp from black to white, composited through the image opacity and a full-frame design.background overlay; the text passes only when every step of that ramp passes. An edge-banded overlay is not counted.\n\n### `opf/missing-alt-text`\n\nDefault severity: **warning**. Cost: structure. A picture has no alt text and is not marked decorative.\n\n**Why.** People using a screen reader get nothing for a picture without alternative text. A picture that is purely decorative should say so with an empty alt (alt: \"\"), which is an explicit, reviewed choice instead of an omission.\n\n**Basis.** WCAG 2.2 SC 1.1.1 Non-text Content, level A\n\n**Approximations.** Checks the alt field of images (image blocks, Slide.image and region images, placed or not), video, organization logos (each shape and background), header/footer images (a logo reference such as var:organization.logo.icon is checked on the organization), quote photos and speaker photos, following asset: references to the assets registry. Whether the text describes the picture well is not judged here (see opf/poor-alt-text). Charts carry `chart.alt` and are checked by opf/chart-text-alternative. Picture backgrounds are decorative unless they carry their own alt, and watermarks are decorative, so neither is checked.\n\n### `opf/poor-alt-text`\n\nDefault severity: **info**. Cost: structure. Alt text is a file name, a URL, a generic word or very long.\n\n**Why.** Alt text such as \"image\", \"IMG_2041.png\" or a 400-character paragraph does not do the job of describing a picture: it is read out and adds noise without information.\n\n**Basis.** WCAG 2.2 SC 1.1.1 Non-text Content, level A\n\n**Approximations.** Pattern checks only: file extensions and camera-style names, a bare generic word, a URL, a leading \"image of\", and more than 250 characters. Chart alt text (chart.alt) is checked too: a bare chart word, a URL, a leading \"chart of\" or more than 250 characters. It cannot tell whether a plausible sentence is accurate.\n\n### `opf/missing-slide-title`\n\nDefault severity: **warning**. Cost: structure. A slide has no title.\n\n**Why.** Slide titles are how people using a screen reader, an outline view or keyboard navigation find and tell slides apart; PowerPoint's own accessibility checker reports a missing title too.\n\n**Basis.** WCAG 2.2 SC 2.4.2 Page Titled and SC 2.4.6 Headings and Labels, level AA (PowerPoint: \"Missing slide title\")\n\n**Approximations.** Only the slide-level title field counts. Text that merely looks like a heading inside a block does not.\n\n### `opf/duplicate-slide-title`\n\nDefault severity: **info**. Cost: structure. Two slides have the same title.\n\n**Why.** Identical titles make slides indistinguishable in an outline or a screen reader's slide list.\n\n**Approximations.** Titles are compared case-insensitively with whitespace collapsed. Slides that continue one another are not exempt; give a continuation a distinct title such as \"(continued)\".\n\n### `opf/reading-order`\n\nDefault severity: **warning**. Cost: composition. The order content is read differs from the order it appears on the slide.\n\n**Why.** Screen readers, keyboard focus and PowerPoint's selection pane follow the composed order. When it differs from the visual order (top to bottom, then start to end of the reading direction), the slide is read out of sequence.\n\n**Basis.** WCAG 2.2 SC 1.3.2 Meaningful Sequence, level A (PowerPoint: \"Check reading order\")\n\n**Approximations.** Compares the composed content order with a visual order recomputed from the composed boxes: items whose vertical centres fall in the same row are ordered along the reading direction (a right-to-left deck is checked by rows only), rows from top to bottom. Headings are expected first. Free-form overlap is not analysed.\n\n### `opf/link-text`\n\nDefault severity: **warning**. Cost: structure. Link text does not say where the link goes.\n\n**Why.** People who scan links out of context (a screen reader's links list, a link tab order) hear only the text. \"click here\", \"read more\" or a long raw URL tells them nothing about the destination.\n\n**Basis.** WCAG 2.2 SC 2.4.4 Link Purpose (In Context), level A; PowerPoint: \"Hyperlink text is not meaningful\"\n\n**Approximations.** Matches a short list of generic phrases in English (after lower-casing and removing punctuation), blank link text, and raw URLs longer than 40 characters. Adjacent runs sharing one link are read as one link.\n\n### `opf/chart-color-only`\n\nDefault severity: **info**. Cost: structure. Chart series may be indistinguishable without colour vision.\n\n**Why.** OPF charts have no data labels or patterns, so series are told apart by colour alone (and legend order). Colours that look alike to someone with colour-vision deficiency, or when printed in greyscale, make series impossible to tell apart.\n\n**Basis.** WCAG 2.2 SC 1.4.1 Use of Color, level A\n\n**Thresholds.** `minSeriesColorDifference` (default 10)\n\n**Approximations.** Uses the engine's series palette (ValidateOptions.chartPalette; default the opf-render/opf-pptx palette, adjusted for the card surface like the preview does) in series order: series i takes colour i, pie/doughnut/treemap/funnel slices take colours per category. Pairs are compared by CIE76 distance after simulating protanopia, deuteranopia, tritanopia (Machado 2009, severity 1) and greyscale. Single-series charts and chart types without a series legend are skipped.\n\n### `opf/chart-text-alternative`\n\nDefault severity: **info**. Cost: structure. A chart has no text alternative, or is marked decorative.\n\n**Why.** A chart conveys a message; people who cannot see it need the message and ideally the numbers in text. The chart's alt field is that text alternative (the preview exposes it as the chart's accessible name and the PowerPoint export writes it as the frame's alternative text); a sentence or table beside the chart also serves. An empty alt marks a chart decorative, which is reported as info so the choice is reviewed: a chart rarely carries no message.\n\n**Basis.** WCAG 2.2 SC 1.1.1 Non-text Content, level A\n\n**Approximations.** A chart passes when chart.alt has text. Without alt, it passes when the slide has any other text, list, table, quote or metric content besides title and tag, or a subtitle. It does not judge whether alt or that text states the chart's point (see opf/poor-alt-text for generic alt text). alt: \"\" is reported as a decorative chart, whatever else is on the slide.\n\n### `opf/missing-language`\n\nDefault severity: **info**. Cost: structure. The presentation does not declare its language.\n\n**Why.** Screen readers and text-to-speech choose pronunciation and hyphenation from the declared language; spell checkers and translation tools use it too.\n\n**Basis.** WCAG 2.2 SC 3.1.1 Language of Page, level A\n\n**Approximations.** Only the presentation-level `language` is checked, not the language of individual runs (`TextRun.lang`; opf/language-tag checks how those tags are written).\n\n\n## Layout rules\n\n*Will it present as authored?*\n\n### `opf/chart-option-adapted`\n\nDefault severity: **warning**. Cost: structure. A chart option cannot be shown by the chart type.\n\n**Why.** An axis title, legend or data label option the chart type does not support is adapted by every engine, so the chart is not drawn exactly as authored.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n### `opf/text-overflow`\n\nDefault severity: **warning**. Cost: composition. Text or a table does not fit its space at the smallest allowed size.\n\n**Why.** Core composition shrinks text to the readable minimum and then reports what still does not fit. Overflowing text is clipped or runs over other content in the preview and in PowerPoint.\n\n**Approximations.** Uses composeSlide at the deck's slide size with the fonts of the resolved font scheme. Without a host-supplied text measurement (ValidateOptions.fonts.textMeasurement) widths are core's portable estimate, which can differ from the real font by a few percent; pass the renderer's measurement for font-exact results. A composition that sets overflow: \"error\" is reported as a warning here, so that `valid` never depends on font metrics; rendering and export still refuse such a slide when it does not fit.\n\n### `opf/unresolved-content`\n\nDefault severity: **warning**. Cost: composition. Content cannot be drawn as authored.\n\n**Why.** composeSlide reports content it cannot place or an effect it does not support (for example a picture bullet without a logo, a date field without a date, or an unsupported image treatment). The preview and the export fall back.\n\n### `opf/layout-failed`\n\nDefault severity: **warning**. Cost: composition. The slide layout could not be computed.\n\n**Why.** Composition threw for a slide that passed schema validation, so geometry-based rules (contrast, overflow, reading order, resolution) were skipped for it.\n\n### `opf/min-font-size`\n\nDefault severity: **warning**. Cost: composition. Text is drawn smaller than the readable minimum.\n\n**Why.** Small type is unreadable from the back of a room and on a phone. The engine's own default floor is 12 pt (16 px); anything much below that was lowered on purpose or by a composition that could not fit the text.\n\n**Basis.** Common presentation guidance (12 pt minimum for body text; 18 pt or more is easier to read from a distance).\n\n**Thresholds.** `minFontSizePt` (default 11)\n\n**Approximations.** Sizes are those composeSlide fitted, expressed on the 13.33 x 7.5 in reference slide (96 px per inch, so 1 px is 0.75 pt; a smaller canvas scales type down with it) and explicit run fontSize values in points. Per payload, the smallest part (a metric label or a quote attribution) is reported. Table cell text (default 11.25 pt), code and header/footer furniture are not checked.\n\n### `opf/font-outside-scheme`\n\nDefault severity: **warning**. Cost: structure. Text uses a font family that is not in the deck's font scheme.\n\n**Why.** The font scheme is the deck's font choice. A run that names another family will not follow a font-scheme change, may be missing on the viewer's machine, and breaks the deck's typographic consistency.\n\n**Approximations.** Compares the run's fontFamily (case-insensitively) with the heading, body, code and accent families of the slide's resolved font scheme and the scheme's major/minor fonts. Families that the host substitutes are still different names here.\n\n### `opf/image-resolution`\n\nDefault severity: **warning**. Cost: composition. An image has too few pixels for the size it is shown at.\n\n**Why.** An image stretched beyond its pixel size looks blurry or blocky on a projector or a high-density screen.\n\n**Thresholds.** `minImagePpi` (default 96)\n\n**Approximations.** Only embedded data: images (and asset: references to them) have readable pixel sizes; URLs and files are never fetched, so they are not checked. The displayed size is the composed frame (cover and stretch are measured as the cover scale, contain as the contain scale). Effective ppi is the image pixels per inch of the 96 px/inch reference slide. SVG is vector and exempt.\n\n\n## Content rules\n\n*Is anything left unfinished?*\n\n### `opf/chart-value-not-numeric`\n\nDefault severity: **warning**. Cost: structure. A chart value is text, not a number.\n\n**Why.** A chart plots numbers. A text cell such as \"12%\" is plotted as a gap. When every text value of a column is written in one display style the finding carries the fix that stores the numbers and gives the column the matching format.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n### `opf/chart-mapping-adapted`\n\nDefault severity: **warning**. Cost: structure. A chart mapping entry is ignored.\n\n**Why.** A mapping that names a column the chart type cannot use is left out of the chart.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n### `opf/chart-highlight-adapted`\n\nDefault severity: **warning**. Cost: structure. A chart highlight is adapted by the chart type.\n\n**Why.** A highlight the chart type cannot show as authored (a category highlight on a chart without categories, for example) is adapted by every engine, so the emphasis is not exactly what was written.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n### `opf/code-highlight-out-of-range`\n\nDefault severity: **warning**. Cost: structure. A code highlight marks a line the code does not have.\n\n**Why.** Marked lines count from 1 by line break in code.source; an entry past the last line marks nothing.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n### `opf/code-highlight-range-reversed`\n\nDefault severity: **warning**. Cost: structure. A code highlight range ends before it starts.\n\n**Why.** A range written end before start marks nothing; write the smaller line number first.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n### `opf/variable-builtin-missing`\n\nDefault severity: **warning**. Cost: structure. A built-in variable has no value in this document.\n\n**Why.** A `{{deck.*}}`, `{{speaker.*}}` or `{{organization.*}}` token whose field the document does not set resolves to nothing, so the text shows a gap; a `var:organization.logo` reference to an organization without a logo draws no image. `{{slide.section}}` is checked per slide: a slide without a `section` that uses it, in its own text or in the header or footer it inherits, is reported at that slide.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n### `opf/duration-outside-narrative`\n\nDefault severity: **warning**. Cost: structure. The target duration is outside the range the narrative suits.\n\n**Why.** A narrative records the talk lengths it suits. A deck whose duration is outside that range probably needs a different narrative or a different length; nothing is drawn or exported differently.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/opf.schema.json (JSON Schema 2020-12) and the semantic rules of OPF\n\n### `opf/narrative-duration-range`\n\nDefault severity: **warning**. Cost: structure. An inline narrative duration range has min greater than max.\n\n**Why.** A range with its bounds swapped matches no duration, so the duration check cannot help.\n\n**Basis.** spec/schemas/narrative.schema.json\n\n### `opf/placeholder-text`\n\nDefault severity: **warning**. Cost: structure. Placeholder text was left in the deck.\n\n**Why.** \"Lorem ipsum\", \"Click to add title\", \"TBD\" and bracketed prompts are scaffolding. Shipping them reads as unfinished work.\n\n**Approximations.** Case-insensitive patterns for lorem ipsum, template prompts (\"Click to add...\", \"Your title here\", \"[Insert ...]\", a bare \"Title\" or \"Text\"), and the markers TBD, TBC, TODO, FIXME and XXX in capitals. A deliberate use of the words is flagged too; disable the rule for that slide with ignorePaths.\n\n### `opf/empty-text`\n\nDefault severity: **info**. Cost: structure. A text field is present but empty.\n\n**Why.** An empty title, text block or list item draws nothing, and leaves a hole in the outline and for assistive technology.\n\n### `opf/unused-beat`\n\nDefault severity: **info**. Cost: structure. A beat of the narrative has no slide that references it.\n\n**Why.** The narrative is the plan and the slides are the product. When some slides name a beat (slides[].beat) and a beat of the plan has none, the deck skips a step of the story or the plan is out of date.\n\n**Approximations.** Resolved like every content reference: the document's catalogs groups, then the registered catalogs. A narrative that resolves nowhere is not checked. A deck in which no slide references any beat is not checked either, because it has not linked its slides to the plan. A slide that lists several beats covers each of them.\n\n### `opf/empty-slide`\n\nDefault severity: **warning**. Cost: structure. A slide has no content at all.\n\n**Why.** A slide with no title, no content and no picture is almost always an accident of editing. (A deliberately blank slide can use the blank layout.)\n\n### `opf/language-tag`\n\nDefault severity: **warning**. Cost: structure. A language tag is malformed, uses an unassigned region or is not in canonical case.\n\n**Why.** Engines read the deck language and each run's `lang` as BCP 47 tags to choose script fonts, text direction, proofing language and the PowerPoint `lang` attribute. A tag such as `en-a`, or a region that does not exist (`en-UK`; the United Kingdom is `GB`), is guessed at or dropped, and a wrong-case tag (`EN-us`) is not what a locale lookup expects.\n\n**Basis.** BCP 47 (RFC 5646, section 2.1) and the platform locale data (Intl.getCanonicalLocales, Intl.DisplayNames)\n\n**Approximations.** Checks the root `language` (a tag string, or the `bcp47` of an inline Language object) and `lang` on the TextRun objects of titles, subtitles, tags, text, lists, tables, quotes, metrics and timelines. A region is assigned when the runtime's CLDR data names it (ISO 3166-1 codes and UN M.49 areas such as 419); private-use regions (`AA`, `QM`-`QZ`, `XA`-`XZ`) and `ZZ` are accepted, as are private-use (`x-...`) tags. Only the spelling of a tag is checked, not whether the language subtag is assigned or whether the language suits the text. The schema rejects tags with characters other than letters, digits and hyphens (`en_US` is a schema error, with no suggestion), and `en-UK` as the deck language is already an error of the schema rule, so those are not reported twice.\n\n<!-- validate-rules:end -->\n"

-    "markdown": '# OPF as YAML\n\n`@openpresentation/opf/yaml` (RR-56) reads and writes an OPF deck as YAML, in both directions, with no renderer, fonts, network or model: the same input always gives the same output. The CLI exposes it as `opf from-yaml` and `opf to-yaml`, and every command that reads or writes a deck understands `.opf.yaml` files (and, the same way, [`.opf.md` Markdown decks](markdown.md#markdown-decks-in-every-command)); `parse` and `stringify` read and write a deck in JSON, YAML or Markdown with one call, and `open` and `save` of `@openpresentation/opf/node` read and write the files.\n\n- **JSON stays canonical.** The schema, the interchange form and every package describe the JSON. A `.opf.yaml` file is an authoring serialization of the same data: the parsed YAML is exactly the JSON document, and the [schema](../spec/schemas/opf.schema.json) validates that parsed data.\n- **Write a deck by hand.** YAML has no braces, no quotes around keys and no trailing-comma errors, and a block scalar (`text: |`) keeps a paragraph readable. Comments are allowed in the file (they are not data).\n- **One strict dialect.** JSON-compatible YAML 1.2, core schema. Anything that could mean something else in another reader, or cannot exist in JSON, is an error with a line and a column.\n- **Round trip.** `toYaml` writes canonical text that `fromYaml` reads back to the same deck, and that converts back to itself byte for byte. Every one of the 127 example decks round-trips, JSON to YAML to JSON and YAML to JSON to YAML.\n- **Errors have places.** Findings use the shared Finding format of [validate](validate.md) and carry the source offset, length, line and column of the YAML that caused them, including the OPF findings mapped back to the YAML of the field they name.\n\n```js\nimport { fromYaml, toYaml } from "@openpresentation/opf/yaml";\n\nconst { presentation, valid, findings } = fromYaml(text);\nconst { yaml } = toYaml(presentation, { schemaComment: true });\n```\n\n```sh\nopf from-yaml deck.opf.yaml deck.opf.json\nopf to-yaml deck.opf.json deck.opf.yaml --schema-comment\nopf validate deck.opf.yaml\nopf render deck.opf.yaml --out slides\n```\n\n## An example\n\n```yaml\n# yaml-language-server: $schema=https://openpresentation.org/schema/opf/v1\n$schema: https://openpresentation.org/schema/opf/v1\nname: Q3 Business Review\nlanguage: en-US\nslides:\n  - id: cover\n    title: Q3 Business Review\n    subtitle: Operations and growth\n    notes: Two minutes on the agenda, then straight into the numbers.\n  - title: Revenue grew every quarter\n    blocks:\n      - chart:\n          type: column\n          data:\n            columns:\n              - Quarter\n              - Revenue\n            rows:\n              - - Q1\n                - 12\n              - - Q2\n                - 18\n      - quote:\n          text: We would rather spend a week on capacity than a month on an outage.\n          attribution: Priya Raman, Head of Platform\n```\n\nis the same deck as the JSON it converts to: `name`, `language` and `slides` with the values above. A comment and the first line are not data.\n\n## The dialect\n\n`fromYaml` accepts exactly this, and nothing else:\n\n| Rule | What happens otherwise |\n| --- | --- |\n| One document, with a mapping at the root | `yaml/empty` (nothing, or only comments), `yaml/multiple-documents` (a `---` separates two), `yaml/not-mapping` (a list or a bare value) |\n| YAML 1.2 core schema | `2026-10-01`, `yes`, `no`, `on`, `off` and `1_000` stay **strings**: only `true`/`false`, `null`/`~` and numbers (decimal, `0x1F`, `0o17`, exponents) are typed. Quote a value to force text |\n| No duplicate keys | `yaml/duplicate-key`, at the repeated key |\n| Keys are strings | `yaml/key` for `1:`, `true:`, `null:` or a collection used as a key. Quote it: `"1":` |\n| No custom tags | `yaml/tag` for `!custom`, `!!binary`, `!!set` and the like. The core tags `!!str`, `!!int`, `!!float`, `!!bool`, `!!null`, `!!map` and `!!seq` are allowed |\n| Finite numbers only | `yaml/number` for `.inf`, `-.inf` and `.nan`, with the hint to quote them |\n| No anchors, aliases or merge keys | `yaml/alias`, with help that points at `aliases: true` |\n| Syntax | `yaml/syntax` for anything the parser rejects, at the position it reports |\n\nA leading byte order mark and CRLF line endings are accepted. Offsets are UTF-16 units into the text you passed (a BOM counts as one); lines and columns are one-based and ignore the BOM. After the YAML parses, the deck goes through `validate` and each finding (`opf/...` rule ids) is located at the YAML node of the field it names: the value for a scalar, the key through the value for a mapping or a list, and the nearest existing ancestor for something that is missing.\n\n### `aliases: true`\n\nAnchors (`&name`), aliases (`*name`) and the `<<` merge key are valid YAML and handy for repeated values, but they are not JSON, many tools handle them differently, and an alias hides the size of what it expands to. They are refused by default. `fromYaml(text, { aliases: true })` (CLI: `opf from-yaml --aliases`) expands them to plain data:\n\n```yaml\nslides:\n  - title: One\n    extensions:\n      owner: &owner { team: ops, oncall: true }\n  - title: Two\n    extensions:\n      owner: *owner\n      other:\n        <<: *owner\n        extra: 1\n```\n\nThe expansion is capped by the `yaml` package\'s `maxAliasCount` (100; each alias counts the nodes it expands to, so nested aliases that multiply exponentially are refused with `yaml/alias-limit`), and an alias that sits inside its own anchor is `yaml/alias-cycle`. What comes out is always finite, tree-shaped JSON data, and keys, tags and numbers are checked exactly as without the option. Writing never produces anchors or aliases.\n\n## Writing OPF as YAML\n\n`toYaml(presentation, { schemaComment })` first validates the presentation (`OPFYamlError`, `code: "invalid-document"`, when it is not valid OPF), then writes the canonical form:\n\n- keys in the order of the schema (the same order as [`opf format`](../packages/cli/README.md)): `$schema`, `name`, ..., `slides`, `assets`, ..., with keys the schema does not declare after them in their own order;\n- two-space indentation, block style throughout, no line folding (`lineWidth: 0`), a block scalar (`|`) for text with line breaks, one trailing newline, LF line endings;\n- strings that would read as another type, or as another type in a YAML 1.1 reader, are quoted: `"yes"`, `"No"`, `"on"`, `"2026-10-01"`, `"123"`, `"null"`, `"0x1F"`, `"12:30"`, and any string with leading or trailing spaces, a `#` or `: `. Mapping keys such as `"yes":` follow the same rule;\n- the text is **read back before it is returned**: it is parsed again in the strict dialect and compared with the input, key order included. If it does not read back to the same data, `toYaml` throws `OPFYamlError` with `code: "not-representable"` instead of writing something wrong (for example a lone surrogate in a string).\n\n`schemaComment: true` starts the file with `# yaml-language-server: $schema=<url>`, the deck\'s own `$schema` or else the canonical `https://openpresentation.org/schema/opf/v1`.\n\n### Editor autocomplete\n\nEditors that use the YAML language server (VS Code with the Red Hat YAML extension, Neovim, Zed, JetBrains) read the modeline on the first line and validate and complete the file against the schema:\n\n```yaml\n# yaml-language-server: $schema=https://openpresentation.org/schema/opf/v1\n```\n\n`opf to-yaml --schema-comment` writes it. A command that rewrites a YAML file keeps the file\'s own first-line modeline verbatim (whatever URL it names, even a local schema path) and generates one only for `--schema-comment`. It is a comment: `fromYaml` ignores it.\n\n## Other exports\n\nThese three exports are not part of the `fromYaml`/`toYaml` pair. They exist so the CLI and other tools can reuse the reader.\n\n| Export | Purpose |\n| --- | --- |\n| `parseYamlData(yaml, options)` | The same strict dialect for any JSON-compatible root, for files that are not decks (a JSON Patch, a settings file). `{ value, valid, findings }` |\n| `scanYamlComments(yaml)` | `{ count, modeline? }`: the comments a rewrite would lose, and the editor modeline (the first-line `# yaml-language-server:` comment, verbatim) |\n| `YAML_SCHEMA_URL` | The canonical schema URL |\n\n## Findings\n\n`fromYaml(text, options)` never throws for malformed content. It returns the deck and the [validate](validate.md) report of it, `{ presentation, valid, findings, counts, schemaValid, checks }` (plus `template` and `unfilledVariables` for a deck with content variables), so a YAML file reports exactly what the same deck as JSON text does. `presentation` is a best effort when `valid` is false (an empty object after a YAML error). Each finding is a [Finding](finding-schema-reference.md) (`ruleId`, `severity`, `category`, `path`, `scope`, `message`, `help`) plus `location` (`offset`, `length`, `line`, `column`). Options: `validate` (`true`, the default, checks `format` and `references`; `validate` options pick other rules or categories, and `{}` runs every rule; `false` skips the check, so `schemaValid` is null) and `aliases` (default false).\n\nYAML errors are `format` findings: `yaml/syntax`, `yaml/empty`, `yaml/not-mapping`, `yaml/multiple-documents`, `yaml/duplicate-key`, `yaml/key`, `yaml/tag`, `yaml/number`, `yaml/alias`, `yaml/alias-limit`, `yaml/alias-cycle`. After one, no OPF check runs (`schemaValid: null`). Ids starting `opf/` are the `validate` findings of the deck, located in the YAML.\n\n## Command line\n\n```text\nopf from-yaml <deck.yaml|-> [output.opf.json|-] [--aliases] [--force] [--fail-on <level>]\nopf to-yaml <deck.opf.json|-> [output.opf.yaml|-] [--schema-comment] [--force]\n```\n\nBoth write to stdout by default and print a JSON report (on stderr when stdout carries the document), as `from-md` and `to-md` do. Exit codes: 0 success, 1 invalid content, an output conflict or a finding at or above `--fail-on`, 2 usage, a read error or I/O. `from-yaml` exits 1 with `yaml.findings` (line and column) on a YAML or OPF error and writes nothing; `--fail-on warning` also fails on warnings. `to-yaml` exits 1 for a deck that is not valid OPF.\n\n### YAML everywhere\n\nEvery command that reads a deck or a JSON Patch reads YAML too, through one reader:\n\n1. A file whose name ends `.yaml` or `.yml` is YAML, parsed in the strict dialect (no aliases). A name ending `.opf.md` is a [Markdown deck](markdown.md#markdown-decks-in-every-command), read the same way.\n2. Anything else (stdin and every other name) follows the global option `--input-format <json|yaml|markdown>`, with **JSON as the default**. The option may appear anywhere before `--`; it applies to every input read from stdin or from a name that does not end `.yaml`, `.yml` or `.opf.md`.\n3. A YAML syntax or dialect error exits **2**, like invalid JSON, and the message carries the position: `Invalid YAML in deck.opf.yaml at line 5, column 5: Map keys must be unique [yaml/duplicate-key]`, with the located findings under `yaml` in the JSON error report. `opf validate` instead reports a YAML error as a `yaml/<rule>` finding and exits 1, as it does for JSON that does not parse. A deck with a syntax-valid but invalid OPF structure is reported by the command as it is for JSON (`validate`, `render`, `export`...; `validate`, `render` and `export` locate their findings in the YAML).\n\nA deck is written as YAML when the output name ends `.yaml`/`.yml` or `--format yaml` is given (`--format json` forces JSON, `--format markdown` writes a Markdown deck). When the output is stdout or has another name, the format of the deck that was read is used (a YAML deck is edited, merged, formatted, filled, paginated and bundled back to YAML); commands with no deck input (`create`, `from-md`, `import`) default to JSON. `opf format` canonicalizes a YAML file and converts with `--format`; `--check` works for both.\n\nLeft JSON-only on purpose: `validate --config` (a settings file), the `--data` values file of `fill` (CSV, TSV or JSON data, not a deck), the `import-data` source file, and `--signals` output. In `fill` and `import-data`, `--format csv|tsv|json` still names the data format; only `--format yaml` selects the output.\n\n**Comments are not preserved.** A command that rewrites a YAML file (`edit`, `format`, `merge`, `paginate`, `bundle`, `fill`, `import-data --into`, `to-yaml`) writes the canonical text of the data, so comments and the original quoting and layout are lost. The CLI prints `warning: <file> has N comments; comments are not preserved when OPF rewrites a YAML file.` on stderr, and does not fail. The `# yaml-language-server:` line is kept.\n\n## Decisions and limits\n\nThese choices are the defaults of the module and can be changed.\n\n- **JSON stays canonical and the interchange form.** The schemas, the catalogs, the reports, the renderer, the editor and the PPTX converter all take the JSON document; YAML is converted at the edge, by `fromYaml` and `toYaml`, and `opf from-yaml` gives you the JSON. Nothing in OPF depends on a YAML library at run time except this subpath and the Markdown front matter.\n- **Comments are not preserved by commands that rewrite.** The YAML is parsed to plain data and written again from the data, which is what makes the output canonical and the same deck always the same bytes. Preserving comments would need a lossless syntax tree through every edit and would make output depend on the history of the file. Use `opf from-yaml` / `opf to-yaml` or an editor to change a file that you annotate heavily, and keep the notes in `description`, `notes` or `extensions` when they should survive.\n- **Strict by default.** Anchors, aliases, merge keys, custom tags, duplicate keys, non-string keys and non-finite numbers are where YAML readers disagree (YAML 1.1 and 1.2, `<<`, `on`/`yes`, sexagesimal numbers) or where a document stops being JSON. A deck should mean the same thing in every tool, so the reader accepts the intersection and says where the text leaves it. `aliases: true` opts into expansion for files that already use it.\n- **pptx.dev\'s playground uses `aliases: true`** so that YAML pasted into it from other sources keeps working; the default of the module and of the CLI stays strict.\n- **One YAML reader.** The `yaml` package (ISC, no dependencies) reads and writes, with the core schema. The [Markdown](markdown.md) front matter and the `opf-slide` and `opf-block` fences follow the same rules (JSON-compatible YAML 1.2 core schema: no anchors, tags or duplicate keys).\n- **Block style only.** Tables and chart data are lists of lists, which block style spreads over many lines. The text is longer than the JSON but diffs line by line, and one style means one canonical form.\n- **Quoting is conservative.** The core schema reads `yes` and `2026-10-01` as text, but a YAML 1.1 reader does not, so the writer quotes them anyway.\n- **No new fields.** YAML adds nothing to the schema: there is no YAML-only key, and a file that does not validate as JSON does not validate as YAML.\n'

In `fill` and `ingest`, `--data-format csv|tsv|json` names the data format and `--to yaml` selects the output.\n\n**Comments are not preserved.** A command that rewrites a YAML file (`edit`, `format`, `merge`, `paginate`, `bundle`, `fill`, `ingest --into`, `to-yaml`) writes the canonical text of the data, so comments and the original quoting and layout are lost. The CLI prints `warning: <file> has N comments; comments are not preserved when OPF rewrites a YAML file.` on stderr, and does not fail. The `# yaml-language-server:` line is kept.\n\n## Decisions and limits\n\nThese choices are the defaults of the module and can be changed.\n\n- **JSON stays canonical and the interchange form.** The schemas, the catalogs, the reports, the renderer, the editor and the PPTX converter all take the JSON document; YAML is converted at the edge, by `fromYaml` and `toYaml`, and `opf convert deck.opf.yaml deck.opf.json` gives you the JSON. Nothing in OPF depends on a YAML library at run time except this subpath and the Markdown front matter.\n- **Comments are not preserved by commands that rewrite.** The YAML is parsed to plain data and written again from the data, which is what makes the output canonical and the same deck always the same bytes. Preserving comments would need a lossless syntax tree through every edit and would make output depend on the history of the file. Use an editor to change a file that you annotate heavily, and keep the notes in `description`, `notes` or `extensions` when they should survive.\n- **Strict by default.** Anchors, aliases, merge keys, custom tags, duplicate keys, non-string keys and non-finite numbers are where YAML readers disagree (YAML 1.1 and 1.2, `<<`, `on`/`yes`, sexagesimal numbers) or where a document stops being JSON. A deck should mean the same thing in every tool, so the reader accepts the intersection and says where the text leaves it. `aliases: true` opts into expansion for files that already use it.\n- **pptx.dev\'s playground uses `aliases: true`** so that YAML pasted into it from other sources keeps working; the default of the module and of the CLI stays strict.\n- **One YAML reader.** The `yaml` package (ISC, no dependencies) reads and writes, with the core schema. The [Markdown](markdown.md) front matter and the `opf-slide` and `opf-block` fences follow the same rules (JSON-compatible YAML 1.2 core schema: no anchors, tags or duplicate keys).\n- **Block style only.** Tables and chart data are lists of lists, which block style spreads over many lines. The text is longer than the JSON but diffs line by line, and one style means one canonical form.\n- **Quoting is conservative.** The core schema reads `yes` and `2026-10-01` as text, but a YAML 1.1 reader does not, so the writer quotes them anyway.\n- **No new fields.** YAML adds nothing to the schema: there is no YAML-only key, and a file that does not validate as JSON does not validate as YAML.\n'
