Every Photoshop-style filter is now in (57/57); the Effect Gallery remains (4–6 h).
 - 2026-10-22: Ruby (ふりがな) for live text: `type.ruby` sets or removes a reading over a byte range of the selected type — above it in horizontal type, right of the column in vertical type (or below/left), start/centre/end aligned, at 1–100% of the base size (default half), overhanging or squeezed to the base width. It is saved in the native file, laid out with its line growing (following lines move on), drawn on the canvas, and written in SVG and PDF as outlines where ruby is present. UI panel and type on a path are next. Headline numbers unchanged.
