Closes #807

What changes

Design › Browse for Themes… with a .pptx or .potx now brings the file's slide master and layouts, as PowerPoint does. Before, only the theme part (colours, fonts, effects) was taken, so a company template couldn't be applied to an existing deck.

• The file's first master and its layouts replace the master the current slide uses. A master marked Preserve stays beside the new one.
• A template made for another slide size (4:3 into 16:9, say) stretches to the deck's size, as Slide Size does for masters.
• Each slide on the old master moves to the new layout with the same name, else the same kind, else Title and Content, else the first. Content is kept and placeholders are matched with slide::apply_layout, the same code the Layout command uses.
• In Slide Master view the selection moves to the new master.
• One undo step.
• A .thmx still brings its theme only. Its master and layouts aren't read yet (noted in docs/file-format-parity.md).

Reuse Slides (Keep Source Formatting) already copied a source master with its media and fresh ids. That code moved into reuse::import_master, so both commands share it. Reuse Slides behaves as before.

Open questions for maintainers

Happy to change any of these:

1. Which masters are replaced. Only the master the current slide uses (as design.browseTheme already chose for the theme). PowerPoint's Apply to All Slides would replace every master. Should there be an all parameter, or should that be the default?
2. Slide-level placeholder positions. apply_layout clears a matched placeholder's own xfrm, so a title moved by hand on one slide follows the new layout. Without that, many templates wouldn't take effect at all. Should they be kept instead?
3. Stretching. Master shapes stretch non-uniformly (like Slide Size), so a 4:3 logo gets wider on 16:9. Would you rather keep the aspect ratio of pictures?

Tests

• browse_theme_tests::a_template_brings_its_master_and_layouts_and_slides_follow: a 4:3 .potx with a logo picture, a background, renamed layouts (so they're found by kind) and a moved title. It checks the copied media, the stretch, every slide on a layout of the new master with its text kept, one undo step, and that undo restores the old master and slides.
• browse_theme_tests::a_preserved_master_stays_beside_the_template
• The existing Browse for Themes and Reuse Slides tests (engine, pptx/tests/roundtrip.rs, ui-egui browsetheme_tests) pass unchanged.
• cargo fmt --check, cargo clippy -p deckcraft-engine --all-targets -D warnings, cargo xtask layers and cargo xtask wasm are clean, and cargo test -p deckcraft-engine passes. The full cargo xtask ci couldn't run here: the desktop crate needs ALSA, which this machine lacks.
• Checked by eye with deckcraft-cli: a template with a dark background and a logo on the master, applied to the sample deck and rendered. The slides took the background, the logo and the colours, and kept their text.

Docs: ROADMAP.md progress log and docs/file-format-parity.md (.thmx row and revision history).

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Browse for Themes imports slide masters and layouts from .pptx and .potx files. Slides are assigned to matching layouts while retaining their content, and imported template elements are scaled to the deck’s slide size.
  • The existing master can remain alongside the imported master. Template imports can be undone in a single step.
  • .thmx files continue to import theme colors, fonts, and effects without importing a master or layouts.

Walkthrough

Browse for Themes now imports slide masters and layouts from qualifying .pptx and .potx files, scales them to the destination deck, and remaps slides while retaining their content. The operation supports undo. .thmx files continue through the theme-only path.

Changes: Browse for Themes template import

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Master and layout copying crates/engine/src/cmd/reuse.rs	The reuse code copies master media, remaps IDs, and records layout mappings. It passes the command name to renumbering and media-copy operations.
Template import and slide reassignment crates/engine/src/cmd/design.rs, ROADMAP.md, docs/file-format-parity.md	The command imports and scales the first master and its layouts, maps slides to layouts, and updates selection and results. Tests cover import, retained content, scaling, undo, and preserving another master. Documentation describes template import and .thmx theme-only import.

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to fca98

Browse for Themes now brings in a template's master and layouts and remaps slides. The reviewed behaviors match the author's stated design, and no merge-blocking risk was found. The differences from the original issue (type-first matching, and placeholder positions following the new layout) are intentional choices the author has documented.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: Browse for Themes now brings a template's slide master and layouts, not only its theme. The raw summary confirms the .pptx/.potx master and layout import in design.rs, the shared import_master extraction in reuse.rs, and the matching ROADMAP and docs updates. The title also includes the issue number (#807), while the PR objectives list the PR itself as #809, so the number may be wrong. The title is specific and accurate for the primary change. It does not mention the .pptx/.potx scope or the theme-only .thmx limitation, which the objectives treat as part of the narrower outcome. Those details are expected to be omitted from a short title.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

All changes relate to #807.

• crates/engine/src/cmd/design.rs: apply_master, matching_layout, the .pptx/.potx branch in browse_theme, and the command description. These implement the master and layout import.
• crates/engine/src/cmd/reuse.rs: master import moves into reuse::import_master. Reuse Slides uses the shared code. The PR description states that Reuse Slides behaviour is unchanged, and the existing Reuse Slides tests are reported to pass.
• Tests in browse_theme_tests: they cover the new behaviour and do not add unrelated features.
• ROADMAP.md and docs/file-format-parity.md: these record the implemented scope and the .thmx limit.

No unrelated functional change was found in the reviewed diff for design.rs.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #807 is open and directly linked. Its coding requirements are only partly met.

Met: design.browseTheme (crates/engine/src/cmd/design.rs) now imports the first master and its layouts from .pptx and .potx files through apply_master and reuse::import_master. It scales shapes to the deck size, replaces the master used by the current slide (preserved masters stay), moves slides with slide::apply_layout, and runs as one undo step. Tests a_template_brings_its_master_and_layouts_and_slides_follow and a_preserved_master_stays_beside_the_template cover these points.

Unmet:

1. .thmx master and layouts. The issue asks that a .thmx also bring its master and layouts. The PR keeps .thmx theme-only, as the PR description and docs/file-format-parity.md state.
2. Layout mapping order. The issue asks for mapping by type, then by name, then by fallback. matching_layout checks name first and kind second.
3. Slide-level overrides. The issue asks that slide-level overrides stay. apply_layout clears the matched placeholder's own xfrm, and the test asserts st.xfrm.is_none(). A slide title moved by hand therefore follows the layout.

Not a failure: the issue's "selected slides' master" rule. The PR replaces the master of the current slide, which matches this rule for the single-master case. The PR asks whether an all-slides option is wanted, and that is not a stated requirement.

Docs: the issue asks to fix the docs/parity-checklist.md row. The PR changes docs/file-format-parity.md and ROADMAP.md only. The checklist change is not shown in the summary. This is non-coding and does not affect the result.

Resolution

1. Read the master and layouts from .thmx files in design.browseTheme, or document a separate, agreed exception to #807 and update the issue scope.
2. In matching_layout, check LayoutType (non-custom) before name, as #807 orders the mapping.
3. Keep the slide-level placeholder xfrm when apply_layout matches a placeholder. Add a test that a manually moved slide title keeps its position after Browse for Themes.
4. Update the docs/parity-checklist.md row for #807 so it matches the implemented scope.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 50.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 16 functions across 2 files. (2 skipped: 2 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Preserve explicit placeholder positions when Browse for Themes applies a layout.

super::slide::apply_layout(doc, *i, *l)? clears o.xfrm for every matched placeholder. A destination slide imported from a .pptx can contain an explicit placeholder transform. Browse for Themes removes that transform, so the placeholder moves to the imported layout position. This violates #807's requirement to retain slide-level overrides.

Keep ordinary slide.layout behavior unchanged. Use a Browse for Themes-specific preservation mode. Reuse Slides does not call apply_layout.
