 ## Unreleased
 
+## 4.0.0.dev11 — 2026-09-12
+
+Eleventh development preview: unified composition layout, labels and appearance.
+3.1.0 remains the stable release.
+
+- Add supported keyed line/marker styles, text/callout appearance and module box
+  styles to the local composition editor, using the same Python compiler.
+- Organize controls into Layout, Labels and Styles. Apply changes across sections
+  as one atomic edit with shared undo/redo, reset and saved-state reconstruction.
+- Save typed named appearance decisions in schema 0.4, accepting legacy 0.1–0.3
+  files. Explicit null style fields remove authored keywords for automatic styling.
+- Preserve data-driven marker sizes and colours; report incompatible style targets
+  after source revisions while retaining compatible label/layout edits on discard.
+- Cover combined browser edits, two-width SVG/PDF agreement, inherited styles,
+  text remeasurement, live data and alias reconciliation; update illustrated docs.

+| Module boxes | Fill, stroke colour and physical line width |
+| Keyed plot `text`/`annotate` and named composition callouts | Fill colour and physical text size |
+
+Colours accept the colour parser's hex, RGB and named CSS forms; `none` also
+works for fill and stroke. Opacity ranges from 0 to 1. Widths use millimetres;
+marker size is **diameter**, and text size must be positive. Blank style fields
+remove an explicit keyword and use the renderer's automatic/preset behaviour.
+That removal is saved as JSON `null`. **Reset target** instead restores the
+current source's layout, labels and styles together. Parent artwork scaling
+still scales the resulting text and strokes.

+editor.command('edit', {
+    'path': '/caption',
+    'placement': {'x': 18},
+    'labels': {'label': {'kind': 'module-label', 'text': 'Reviewed response'}},

+        'box': {'kind': 'module-box', 'fill': '#e9f0f4', 'stroke_width': 0.4},
+    },
+})
+```
+
+Larger text is remeasured, so connected modules and dependent layout update.
+Style edits retain live data, named instruction keys and unedited source choices.
+Data-driven marker colour/diameter controls are omitted, including ramped
+colours. If a source revision turns an edited constant into a data mapping,
+the saved style is reported as incompatible, such as `/chart#style:samples`.
+Explicit discard removes that style target's edits while preserving compatible
+labels and placements on the chart.
+
+Styles use the same named path, key and kind contracts as labels. New saved
+files use schema 0.4; 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 files still load. This unifies authoring
+within the composition editor. The separate [linked-table style inspector](visual-editing.md)
