Lets users record author/co-authors/organization for a guide via a new
"Guide information…" dialog; this metadata renders below the title on
the PDF cover (title now sits above the accent rule). PDF export also
paginates so each step fits its own page where possible, keeps a
step's title/image/lead-in together, and forces the next step onto a
fresh page after an oversized step overflows. Exports now run in a
forked helper process so large guides no longer freeze the UI.

- The canvas Undo/Redo buttons now also undo/redo step deletion
(single or multi-select), restoring the step's data, images, and
position in the order. Backed by a new step:restore IPC call and
GuideStore.restoreStep().
- Remove "Finish capture session" from the capture menu. The
top-right recording bar in the guide editor is now the only place
to start/stop recording, with its toggle relabeled
"Start recording" / "Stop recording".
The per-annotation list cards and the "Copy this style to every other
... annotation" text/tooltips were still showing raw type ids (rect,
arrow, etc). Use ANNOTATION_TYPE_LABELS for these too.
The annotation editor's "Type" select used the raw lowercase type id
(e.g. "rect") as its label. Add an ANNOTATION_TYPE_LABELS map so it
shows "Rectangle", "Tooltip", "Number", etc. instead.
Exporters now interleave text/code/table blocks in the same order they
appear in the editor's Blocks panel (via a shared stepContentGroups
helper) instead of grouping by kind, so exported docs match the guide
editor's ordering.
selectStep() now also refreshes the Focused View controls and Blocks
panel (previously only done by renderAll), so switching steps no longer
leaves the previous step's blocks/focused-view sliders on screen. It
also flushes any pending edits on the outgoing step before switching, so
a later guide-wide reload (e.g. applying an annotation style to the
whole guide) can't discard unsaved text-block edits on other steps.
- Description editor: blockquotes get a left accent line and muted color so
it's clear when typing in "quote mode" (matches the existing active Quote
toolbar button highlight).
- Editor block cards: each text block's left border is colored by its level
(info/success/warn/error) so Note/Tip/Warning/Important are distinguishable
at a glance.
- PDF/HTML/DOCX exports: callouts now get a level-specific accent color and
tinted background/shading (blue/green/amber/red), instead of all looking
identical except for the label text.

Clicking Link no longer pops up "Link text"/"Link URL" dialogs; it
inserts [Text](Link) (or [selectedText](Link)) directly so the
placeholders can be edited in place.
- Enter now starts a new <p> (defaultParagraphSeparator) so line breaks
in the description box show up as line breaks in HTML/Markdown/Confluence
exports; htmlToMarkdown also handles <div>-separated paragraphs.
- Clicking Quote while already in a blockquote toggles back to a paragraph.
- Toolbar buttons (Bold, Italic, Bullet, Number, Quote) turn blue to
reflect the formatting state at the current cursor/selection.
Previously this wrapped the selection in a real <a> tag via
createLink. Now it inserts literal [text](url) markdown syntax,
using the selection as the link text or prompting for it if nothing
is selected.
Replaces the number-entry prompt with a scrollable side panel (so
large guides don't overflow the screen) listing every eligible step;
clicking one immediately re-parents the step. Context menus now
support submenu items in general via contextMenu().
Lets a step be re-parented under another step by entering that step's
displayed number, moving it (with its own substeps) to the end of the
target's substeps and updating the numbering accordingly.
Clicking Snapshot now opens a named-prompt dialog (matching the app's
modal styling) and flushes the current step/guide first, so the
snapshot reflects unsaved edits and is easy to identify later.
For linked guides, "Save now" now also writes back to the linked
.sfgz archive (reporting a lock conflict if another session holds it),
making the dedicated link/share button in the Guide panel redundant.
The toolbar Share button and More > Linked guide… menu still cover
one-off exports and archive management.
The guide panel's link button was a dead disabled control for local
guides. It now shares the guide as a .sfgz archive instead, while
linked guides keep the existing archive-management dialog.
Renamed "Style → step/guide" to "This step"/"Entire guide" under a
heading naming the annotation type, with hover text spelling out that
it overwrites every matching annotation's style in that scope.
The annotation canvas now renders as a viewport into the focused-view
crop region, matching what core/raster.js produces on export. Sliders
update the canvas live; annotation data stays in full-image-normalized
coordinates and remains correctly positioned, sized, and editable.

- New Capture sessions now start paused; the window only tucks away once
the user clicks "Start recording" in the capture bar instead of hiding
~1.2s after starting.
- The capture status bar is shown only in the editor view, not over the
library.
- Fix openModal/confirmDialog resolving as cancelled when an action button
is clicked, which made the step "Delete" button (and other modal actions)
silently no-op.
- Click-triggered captures now use the click-time cursor position for the
marker and arm the capture cache as soon as recording starts, so the
first click is captured instantly and accurately placed.

The session previously only listened for the global hotkey, which is
unreliable under WSLg/Wayland — users got one screenshot and nothing
more. Sessions now layer three triggers:
- click-capture via OS adapters (xinput test-xi2 on X11, PowerShell
GetAsyncKeyState polling on Windows), debounced, ignoring clicks on
StepForge itself
- interval auto-capture (3/5/10 s) as the always-works fallback,
enabled by default when click detection is unavailable
- the existing global hotkey, plus a manual Shoot button
The REC bar now shows live count + active trigger with Shoot / Auto /
Pause / Finish. New captures and added steps are selected in the
editor (explicit reload(stepId) wins over a surviving selection).
Capture self-test hook (STEPFORGE_CAPTURE_SELFTEST) verifies 3x
hotkey-path captures and interval capture end-to-end.

- capture.js: window-mode falls back to screen under WSLg; app window
hides during capture (showInactive restore for hotkey path so focus
is not stolen from the documented app); region capture hides too
- editor: Blocks panel (text/code/table block editors), focused-view
zoom/pan sliders, capture context menu, paste-image step, share as
.sfgz, apply-style-across step/guide, annotation copy/paste,
tool-key shortcuts (s/r/o/l/a/t/g/n/b/h/m/u/c), PageUp/Down step nav,
Ctrl+=/-/0 zoom, Ctrl+Delete step delete, Shift-arrow fast nudge
- prompt2.md: prescriptive handoff checklist for finishing remaining
dialogs/topbar/IPC/polish work

Bug fixes from code review:
- Wrap renderer modules (canvas/dialogs/editor/app) in IIFEs: duplicate
top-level 'const api' across plain scripts threw a SyntaxError that
prevented app.js from ever running (blank window), and dialogs.js/
editor.js silently overrode each other's labeledRow/makeSelect
- Focused-view toggle now writes step.focusedView.enabled instead of a
nonexistent flat field that the schema dropped on save
- Annotation property edits no longer rebuild the panel on every
keystroke (focus was stolen mid-typing); debounced save instead
- flushStep/undo/redo keep this.steps in sync with stepMap so the step
list stops going stale after the first save
- Escape now deselects the annotation; Delete remains the delete key
Welcome screen (per spec): app opens to a title at top and three
buttons at the bottom — New Capture (creates a guide, opens the editor,
starts a capture session), Existing Workspace (library), Settings.
Brand click returns to the welcome screen.
Adds an env-gated dev screenshot hook (STEPFORGE_SCREENSHOT[_JS]) used
to visually verify welcome/library/editor views under WSLg.
