Summary

  • Read chart plot-area manual x/y/width/height and inner/outer targets, accepting only finite in-range rectangles.
  • Render the explicit rectangle with target-aware plot geometry and write it back to PPTX; invalid layouts use automatic geometry.
  • Keep the change scoped to chart model, import, render, save, and parity notes. The chart-elements checklist remains partial overall.

Validation

  • cargo fmt --all --check
  • cargo xtask parity (chart score remains 65%; chart-elements row remains partial)
  • cargo clippy -p deckcraft-model -p deckcraft-render -p deckcraft-pptx --lib -- -D warnings
  • Focused PPTX import/save tests and render geometry test passed.

PowerPoint COM was not checked. Windows tests and the Linux GUI build were not run.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • PowerPoint charts preserve and render valid manual plot-area layouts, including inner and outer positioning; otherwise, charts use automatic layout.
    • The CLI accepts ordered command files and multiple automation access folders.
    • Reorder multiple selected slides together in one undo step.
    • Slide shows can keep the cursor visible, and backward navigation reverses transitions.
    • The Format pane adds effect presets, shape scaling, and position-origin controls. Picture Styles adapts to available ribbon space.
    • Quick Access Toolbar items can run with Alt+1 through Alt+9 on supported platforms.
    • Table cells support horizontal text alignment; slide background fills and date insertion in master views are supported.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Missing chart values no longer display zero-value labels, and chart-edge values are assigned to the correct bins.
    • PowerPoint media timing settings are preserved when importing presentations.
    • Improved presentation of transparent content in PDF exports and handling of inherited picture-placeholder geometry.
    • CLI operations continue if output is closed early, while still reporting failures in the requested work.

Walkthrough

This pull request updates chart layout, CLI automation, engine commands, PPTX handling, rendering, slideshow behavior, and UI controls. It also revises project documentation and repository configuration.

Changes: Chart and format handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Chart layout and rendering
crates/model/src/chart.rs, crates/pptx/src/read/chart.rs, crates/render/src/chart.rs, crates/pptx/src/write/chart.rs
Charts now store validated manual plot-area layouts with inner or outer targets. PPTX import and export handle these layouts, and rendering applies them while retaining automatic layout when no valid manual layout is available. Histogram bin assignment, bar labels, axis labels, and gridline handling also change.
PPTX timing and geometry
crates/pptx/src/read/timing.rs, crates/pptx/src/write/timing.rs, crates/pptx/src/read/shapes.rs, crates/pptx/src/opc.rs, crates/model/src/anim.rs
PPTX import and export handle media timing settings, behavior-level animation auto-reverse, corrected emphasis effects, inherited picture-placeholder geometry, and normalized package paths.
Rendering and PDF output
crates/render/src/geometry.rs, crates/render/src/renderer.rs, crates/pdf/src/lib.rs, crates/metafile/src/emfplus.rs
Rendering rejects non-finite or excessively large geometry. PDF export copies backdrop RGB values into fully transparent content pixels. EMF+ region parsing applies cumulative work and depth limits.

CLI and MCP

Layer / File(s) Summary
CLI command files and output handling
apps/deckcraft-cli/src/main.rs, apps/deckcraft-cli/src/help.rs, apps/deckcraft-cli/tests/it/*
The CLI accepts ordered --cmd and --cmd-file options. Command files accept bounded UTF-8 lines and report file and line errors. Broken stdout pipes no longer stop requested work.
Multiple automation roots and bounded MCP frames
apps/deckcraft-cli/src/automation_args.rs, crates/engine/src/file_access.rs, crates/mcp/src/server.rs
Automation access accepts multiple read and write roots. MCP stdio requests are limited to 16 MiB; oversized frames and invalid UTF-8 receive errors.

Editing and text behavior

Layer / File(s) Summary
Engine commands and shape editing
crates/engine/src/cmd/*, crates/engine/src/lib.rs, crates/engine/src/compare.rs
Slide movement supports multiple IDs. Commands add validation and behavior for master date insertion, background fills, shadow size, table alignment, review comparisons, and automatic shape names. Session edits also refit eligible groups.
Text, fonts, and clipboard handling
crates/text/src/*, crates/engine/src/spell.rs, crates/engine/src/cmd/richclip.rs, crates/fonts/src/*
Text handling updates automatic numbering, date formatting, symbol-font selection, spelling suggestions, and clipboard HTML parsing and size limits. Font enumeration now has collection and named-instance caps.

UI and slideshow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Show settings, transitions, and presenter previews
crates/anim/src/show.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/show*, crates/ui-egui/src/state.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/dialogs/body.rs
Show state tracks backward navigation and cursor visibility. Back navigation reverses the departed slide’s transition, except for Morph. Presenter previews use tracked background rendering on non-WASM targets, with synchronous fallback paths.
Multi-slide dragging
crates/engine/src/cmd/slide.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/panels/thumbs.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/sorter.rs
Dragging selected slides moves them as one run. Dragging an unselected slide moves only that slide. The sorter and thumbnail pane share drag state and dispatch one move operation.
Format pane, ribbon, and shortcuts
crates/ui-egui/src/panels/*, crates/ui-egui/src/ribbon/*, crates/ui-egui/src/menus.rs
The Format pane adds effect presets, size and position controls, and background-fill selection. Picture Styles and the Add Animation menu adapt to available space. The Quick Access Toolbar supports Alt+1 through Alt+9 outside Mac-key mode.

Project records and other updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Documentation and configuration
ROADMAP.md, docs/*, AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, .github/workflows/windows-arm64.yml, Cargo.toml, contributors/people.toml
Project records update progress and parity notes. CI guidance and the Windows ARM64 shared-workflow reference change. The workspace updates the craft-update revision.

Merge Risk: Low · previous review ebb55

The chart-layout serialization is compatible with import and rendering, but spelling suggestions, CI-policy compliance, and parity-document bookkeeping still require follow-up.

Security architecture risk: Low · up to ebb55

Chart layouts are validated, and additional automation folders require explicit grants without combining read and write permissions. The main security tradeoff is replacing a fixed CI workflow revision with a moving branch. That workflow has read-only repository permissions and forwards no explicit secrets, limiting the demonstrated exposure.

Retained concerns

  • Low · security · observed: Windows ARM64 CI loses its immutable upstream workflow binding. Future changes to the upstream main branch can alter executable build and installation checks without a corresponding local revision change. This is intentional centralized update behavior, but it transfers ongoing execution control to that branch. The demonstrated scope is limited by read-only repository permissions and the absence of explicit secret forwarding.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • observed — MCP authority expands to additional folders only when the operator supplies additional roots of the corresponding access type. The changed CI caller grants contents: read, forwards no explicit secrets, and runs on selected pull requests, release pushes, a schedule or manual dispatch. The inspected caller does not establish release publication authority.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — An actor able to modify the shared workflow's main branch could influence subsequent Windows ARM64 CI execution without changing this repository. Removing the fixed revision introduces that update path. No upstream compromise, secret exposure or malicious execution was established; the caller's read-only permissions limit demonstrated authority.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — File authorization retains canonical, component-based containment and independent read/write grants. Local command-file execution remains an operator interface outside MCP confinement, rather than gaining authority from MCP-supplied paths.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Command-file execution is sequential, not transactional: earlier commands may already have executed when a later line fails, and remaining commands and final save/export steps are skipped. This follows the existing --cmd execution model rather than introducing a new atomicity guarantee.
  • observed — The documented filesystem check-then-open race remains: another local process can swap links between authorization and access. The inspected comparison does not show this PR introducing that limitation or removing an existing race control.

Review comments at @crates/pptx/src/read/chart.rs:
- Around line 132-136: Update the ManualLayout construction to read and
interpret the layout mode values before calling is_valid(); convert edge-mode
coordinates and dimensions to the rectangle representation, including treating
c:w as the right edge rather than the width, and reject the manual layout when a
mode is unsupported.

Review comments at @crates/render/src/chart.rs:
- Around line 322-323: Update axis-title positioning in the chart rendering flow
so draw_axis_titles uses manual_plot when an inner manual layout provides one,
aligning the bottom title to the plot center and the left title to the plot
edge. Retain automatic area-based positioning when no manual plot is present.

- presentation.json gets its own 256 MiB inflation limit instead of the 2 GiB
  per-entry allowance, and is parsed in place: only a file that needs its
  null-number repair is copied.
- A media member that fails decoding or its CRC is charged for the bytes it
  inflated, so later members cannot reuse the shared media budget.
- repair() and Presentation::validate() check slide layouts against a set
  built once instead of scanning every layout per slide.
