  • A View menu for the node editor, Split Regions by name, and pulldowns that look like pulldowns THE NODE EDITOR'S VIEW MENU had no page. It is a different menu from the modeling window's View, five commands rather than fourteen, and `menus.md` has described it for weeks without linking anywhere. `menu-node-view.md` lists all five in the order index.html gives them: Zoom to Fit, Center, a separator, then Tidy, Bus Long Wires and Dissolve Bus Relays. The three layout commands moved out of the command palette and into that menu in the last merge, and their icons came with them. Zoom to Fit and Center sit on both windows and do different things on each, so each one gets a page covering the pair. In the modeling window Center needs a selection and centers on it; in the node editor it ignores the selection and centers on every node. That was the only thing worth a page of its own. `organizing.md` now says where to reach both bus commands. It named them and never said how to run them, because when it was written there was nowhere to point. SPLIT REGIONS. The command page was titled Split (Bake), a qualifier that existed only to tell it from Split (Manual), which is gone from the app. The app does not agree with itself here: the native menu says Split (Bake), the toolbar button says Split, and the node's own title says Split. The wiki follows one rule instead, hers: split curves is always Split Curves and split regions is always Split Regions. That matches the pair the wiki already had, and it closes the last documented exception in WIKI_MENU_ORDER.md. TEN SOCKET CARDS drew a pulldown as something else. Six showed a bare wire-only socket, which tells a reader to wire a number in: Measured To, Compare's Operator, Style's Placement, Cap and Join, and Select Alternating's Divide by. Three more drew a raw 0: Sort's By, Offset's Corner and Array Directed's Deskew. All of them are menus in the app, declared as a plain number with the words kept elsewhere, which is why the card pipeline never knew. Each list now opens under its own row, the way the app's own menu reads. Style carries three of them, which is why they open in place rather than in the single slot under the body. The eleven Explode kind cards gain the Kind socket the node has had since the last merge, reading Auto. One word in a diagram caption: an English picture said neighbour. PREV AND NEXT NAV on 13 pages pointed at the wrong neighbours. The script that keeps them in step with the sidebar has not run since at least 2026-09-21 because a line of JavaScript was sitting in a Python file. It runs again, and it now rewrites the foot nav as well as the one in the breadcrumb, which is how a corrected page could still send a reader the wrong way from the bottom. welcome and credits are the ends of the chain and had no foot nav at all; they have one now.

  • Flatten, and Explode takes a point apart Flatten gets its page. It drops the list structure a Collect built and leaves the geometry untouched. Levels says how many wraps to peel: -1 is the default and takes every level however deeply they nested, 0 takes none, 1 takes the outermost. The diagram is one row per value in that order, with the 0 row doubling as the input since 0 changes nothing. Two things the page says because the node's own source says them, and neither was obvious from the outside. It peels the LIST, not the membership: a copy's own group is what makes it one region rather than part of a merged blob, and Mirror, Rotate and Array already stamp every copy they make as its own, so flattening never welds anything together. And the reason it exists is the weld. Weld Seams keys every seam by its endpoints and by which part of the list it sits in, which stops a real boundary between separate parts being erased, but it also means a tiling cluster whose orbit is a Collect arrives already divided. A pgg cluster hands over its two glide cosets as two parts, so seams that ought to cancel sit on opposite sides of that guard. Put a Flatten in front of the weld and the same tolerance dissolves them. Explode on a point now hands back X and Y as numbers rather than passing the point through, so Separate XY is redundant and is retired: banner on, out of the sidebar and the Data index, page kept because the Explode page links to it. That is how the six retired per-type Explode nodes are handled, and unlike Split (Manual) a deletion would have broken live links. All eleven Explode kind cards are reworked. Every one had shown the same grey Geometry input, so nothing on a card said which kind it was about; the kind lived only in the heading above it. Inputs are now named by kind and typed where the type is certain, which is the open shapes; circle, ellipse and shape stay grey because either a curve or a region can arrive. Title bars take the single output type where there is one and stay neutral where the outputs are mixed. Lists and collections drops the claim that nesting goes one level deep, and points at Flatten as the way to take nesting off.

  • The weave nodes, Undo and Redo, Revert to Saved, and prose for 17 commands Pages for Weave, Crossing Census and Stability Sweep, which nothing documented: the Calculate button and why evaluate cannot solve, that the result is not saved in the document, that Tol comes from the sweep plateau, and that the census counts four-end crossings only where Weave also reads an eight-end tangency. Undo and Redo get a page, one for both commands: two histories, one per window, a hundred steps each, acting on the window you are in. Revert to Saved gets one too, including that it clears both undo histories, so a revert cannot be undone. The command prose pass is finished, 35 of 35. Ten Draw pages, five Edit, two Transform, each written against the source rather than the old one-liner. They turned up behaviour nothing had written down: a shape owns only the corner points the tool itself made, a guide crossing gives a free point and not a bound one, Directed Rectangle's third click is a distance that leaves a width handle, and Clean Up asks for a merge tolerance and skips merges that would destroy a derived point. selection.md gains a Select Same section covering all six commands, which had only ever had a row each. Every one of the ten pages the menu-order rule governs now carries the app's own rows in the app's own order, and Schematic finally has its icon.

  • The File and View menus get pages for their commands Every File and every View command pointed at a concept page; neither menu had a page of its own for anything in it. Ten File pages and ten View pages now cover them, with the rows, the sidebar and the reading chain wired to match. Lock Guides was missing from the wiki altogether. Command Descriptions is a palette setting rather than a View item, and now says so. Mirror moves from Transform to Construct, where the app puts it. Transform gains the ten align and distribute commands it had never listed. A duplicate row that sat inside the Combine breadcrumb is gone. Node cards regenerated for 21 nodes, five of which had silently stopped rendering months ago. New pages for Regular Polygon: Edge, Regular Polygon: Center and Reverse Direction, and new effect diagrams for Schematic, Alignment Snaps and View Seams.

  • Docs: Explode rewrite, clipboard commands, two new nodes, Data flyout nav Command pages - New: Copy, Paste, Paste in Place, Duplicate in Place, Copy Style - New: Line: Tangent to Two Circles - Corrected: Duplicate now says independent copies rather than shared points; Tangent explains that every answer is ghosted and the nearest one is kept; Detach no longer contradicts itself - Prose pass items 11 to 18: Move, Arc, Group, Snap to Guides, Snap to Intersections, Point on Object, Detach, Elliptical Arc - Select Parents and Select Children added to selection.md, with rows on menu-select.md Node pages - New: Select Alternating, Weld Seams - Explode rewritten: a section and its own card for every kind it takes apart, plus a note on the six retired per-type nodes - Compare and Select by Condition documented, with cards and diagrams - nodes-data.md rebuilt as five flyout sections matching the interface, each with its icon and a line on why those nodes group together Two corrections against the shipped code - Select by Condition: an item is a top-level member, not a single shape, so a member holding several shapes goes to one side whole (#628). The page had described the behavior it replaced. - Export as DXF: a color with an alpha channel keeps its color and loses only the transparency, which DXF cannot carry. The page had claimed the transparency survives. The palette-merge paragraph gained the two limits the exporter applies: only layers Locus named itself are merged, and the annotation layers never fold in with the drawing colors. Both checked against src-tauri/src/export.rs. Navigation - _Sidebar.md Data block regrouped into the five flyouts - Six retired Explode entries dropped, four pages moved to Construct - All 26 previous and next chains rebuilt from the sidebar as the single source of truth Assets - 17 icons, 7 effect diagrams, 15 node cards

  • Docs: American spellings, Explode retirement, new nodes, prose pass American spellings throughout. 346 replacements across the public text: centre, colour, grey where it was not the noun, millimetre, behaviour, organise and the rest. Gray keeps its E, which is how Blossom spells it. No UI label in the app was ever British, so the wiki and the app agree. Explode is now one node. node-explode.md is new and answers for every shape, taking a group apart a layer at a time. The six per-type pages stay reachable and each carries a retirement notice pointing at it; documents built with them still open and still work. Two new node pages, Compare and Select by Condition, both with an icon pending note for Vera. Export grouping documented in preferences, export-svg and export-dxf: Group by Layers and Group by Outline Color, alongside hairline black. Math gains Absolute Value. Tangent rewritten to the new behaviour: options shown, nearest one chosen, click again for the other. Select Parents and Select Children written into selection.md from Theo's spec, with two rows in menu-select.md and dead icon references. Not shipped yet. Both ADD to the selection rather than replacing it. Node prose pass. Every node page now carries at least a short explanation, on the principle that a reader landed there because the interface did not explain itself. Command pages are getting the same treatment, 14 of 34 so far. First-pattern figures rebuilt. The Slider and Math wires crossed on the way into Rotate, which made the Home page banner read as though Angle and Repeat were swapped. They were not; the layout was wrong. Also dropped a degree sign from the Angle socket label, which the app does not have.

  • Bottom nav on every page, Apollonius, and the Combine menu completed Navigation - Every page's own Previous/Next line is now repeated at the bottom, directly above the Related heading. Done by tools/add_bottom_nav.py, which finds that heading BY NAME rather than by position, so the nav never lands in the middle of a real section. circles-arcs - New Apollonius section with its own figure, apollonius-cases.png, built by a new generator build_apollonius.mjs. Three worked cases: two lines and a circle, three circles, two points and a line. One solution solid, the rest light and dotted. Placed immediately before the Arc tool heading. - circle-methods.png reverted: Apollonius gets a separate diagram, not a fourth panel on the existing one. selection - Select Outer Edges removed. It is a node-side command and does not belong on the modeling-view page. Added a Related link to the node page instead. transform-tools - Rewritten so the page only ever speaks of transforming POINTS. Locus does not transform objects, it transforms the free root points an object is built from, and everything standing on them re-solves and follows. - New callout before the Transform menu heading: if root points are shared with objects you do not want to move, run Edit > Detach first. - Reference and handle clicks snap in all the same ways a point does. align-distribute - The same Detach callout added at the bottom, below the refusal paragraph. regions-booleans - Paint Region added to the list of ways to build a region. menu-combine - The Combine menu has eight commands and this page listed six. Paint Region and Split (Bake) added, in menu order. - Two new pages: combine-paint.md and combine-split.md. Split's page says plainly that it is a one-shot bake, not a live boolean. - The Previous/Next chain shifted, so combine-fill, combine-autoregion, combine-difference and menu-transform changed their nav lines, and _Sidebar gained both entries. - Both icons rendered by the normal exporter from Vera's glyphs, tinted region like the rest of the row.

  • Beta 2 docs: Bounding Box, Auto Mirror, Auto Array, and what 0.3.0 changed New pages for the Bounding Box node and the Auto Mirror / Auto Array library clusters, with cards. The symmetry clusters no longer have a Guides output and their Upright input is now Deskew: pages, cards (all seven languages) and the generators updated. Existing pages catch up with the rest of the release: weld seams in line work, Stroke W as a field or list, per-shape SVG line weights, new-file framing and pencil, guide nudging, snap lines finding crossings, multi-select Divide, image References, Inspect keys and ghost colours, and a language change that keeps the drawing.

  • Keyboard characters only: sweep all 245 English pages Every character that cannot be typed on a US keyboard is replaced. Em dash becomes a colon where it introduces a list bullet's description, matching how the Italian pages already read, and a spaced hyphen everywhere else. The Previous/Next angle quotes and the breadcrumb arrows become < and >, the menu path triangle becomes >, arrows spell out as -> and <->, the ellipsis becomes three periods, and the en dash and minus sign become a hyphen. Two characters do two jobs and are split by context. The middle dot is a pipe where it separates links and " x " where it is multiplication, as in Min + k x Step and Radius x cos(Angle). The degree sign becomes " degrees" after a digit and is dropped after a letter, where it was a stale reference to the Rotate node's Angle socket, which no longer carries one. Also: superscript two becomes 2, the square root sign becomes sqrt, the division sign becomes /, less-than-or-equal becomes <=, and the decorative emoji in Home, the footer, the sidebar, community and licensing are removed. Kept: the command, shift and option key glyphs in the shortcut lines, and the Greek letters used as math notation. Verified: no file changed its line count, and no markdown table row changed its cell count.
