Domistika XR v1.0 · Showrunner

v1.0 is here: a complete, local-first, portable performance workflow for the Domistika XR workshop. Create an editable installation, choreograph three visual acts with named cues, timed transitions, palette/gain/energy changes, and operate a silent show from desktop or the Quest's paginated PLAY SHOW / STOP SHOW / NEXT ACT / PREV ACT controls. Save and restore the full editable assembly and cue sheet in a validated Showpack v1 JSON. Your original workshop JSON, offline source previews, static GLB exports and optional music files remain independent. Playback emits no actual music and real Quest 3 device testing is still necessary. v1.0 release notes, safety contracts and headset test plan.

Domistika XR · Show Forge v0.9

The Domistika XR workshop now has one-click stage installations: Orbit Bloom, Neon Corridor and Bass Cathedral. The generated pieces are independent and editable with per-object Motion Forge and Beat Forge settings. Start silent visual demo to preview animated lighting with an internally generated, soundless signal, without loading an audio file. Quest controls include stage shortcuts and DEMO ON / DEMO OFF on the existing paged workshop deck. Stage creation is one atomic undo step. Saved JSON contains only the editable objects and motions, while GLB keeps static rest-pose materials. No microphone, upload or new authoring schema. v0.9 test and Quest acceptance guide.

Domistika XR · Light Forge v0.8

The immersive workshop now supports opt-in audio-reactive emissive glow with Outrun, Aurora, Ember and Ice palettes, bounded intensity and smooth transitions. Workshop objects keep their source colors and original rest poses; no real spotlights, strobes, or microphone recording. The Quest floating workshop menu is finally paginated into three smaller two-column pages with permanent NEXT/PREV actions and safe hit-testing. JSON exports preserve authoring data, and GLB exports use static rest-pose materials with no preview glow. Read v0.8 acceptance, limitations and Quest checklist.

Domistika XR · Beat Forge v0.7

Music-responsive sculpture now has independent Bass, Mids, Highs, and transient Beat channels. Choose each editable object's response band in Motion Forge, or cycle with BAND FX in the Quest in-world deck. Rhythm Forge displays three local spectrum meters and bass pulse detection. Existing local file-only operation remains; no microphone, cloud upload, BPM or exact beat-grid claim. Older project JSON defaults to Full energy; exported GLB still contains static rest poses. Beat Forge acceptance and limitations.

Domistika XR · Rhythm Forge v0.6

Bring your own local track into the Spatial Workshop. Rhythm Forge uses browser-native Web Audio spectrum analysis to make existing Motion Forge spins, bobs, orbits and pulses respond to bass/energy. Files remain local and ephemeral, with no microphone, uploads, network audio, or file storage. Quest has RHYTHM PLAY/STOP controls once a track is selected in the sidebar. Workshop JSON stores only the author's original object motion settings, never sound; GLB stays a static rest-pose export. Physical Quest audio and gesture acceptance remains pending. v0.6 playtest and feature boundaries.

Domistika XR · Motion Forge v0.5

Animate editable 3D workshop objects with Spin, Bob, Orbit, or Pulse visual effects. Set speed/amplitude/phase, preview in desktop or Quest VR, scrub a timeline, and reset instantly to the saved rest poses. Motion settings live in backward-compatible domistika.xr.workshop.v1 JSON; GLB exports remain static rest-pose geometry. Existing OpenBlueprint CAD and Framefield BPC previews remain protected and unmodified. No live music or microphone integration is claimed. Test plan and capability boundaries.

Domistika XR · Pattern Forge v0.4

The immersive Domistika workshop now has linear arrays and radial rings of independent editable objects, origin alignment between workshop objects, and transformed-mesh floor contact. All repeating copies are one-step undoable and capacity-checked before applying. Quest gets LINE +3, RING +5, and TO FLOOR on the in-world tool deck. FramefieldStudio and OpenBlueprintStudio originals remain read-only. Read the v0.4 qualification and headset playtest guide.

Domistika XR · Object Lab v0.3

The Spatial Workshop adds an editable object inventory, independent duplicate and true X-mirrored geometry copies, undoable renaming and recoloring, and a 3D in-world center-to-center distance ruler. Quest controllers use a compact two-column workshop menu. Measurements are visual annotations, not certified CAD dimensions, and are excluded from JSON/GLB exports; imported Framefield and OpenBlue sources remain read-only. Quest playtest and contracts.

Domistika XR · Spatial Workshop v0.2

Open the VR Workshop to make cubes, spheres, cylinders, toruses and knots, grab/rotate/scale with Quest controllers, snap to a meter grid, set exact measurements, and export a separate editable JSON assembly or combined GLB with spatial paintings. Operator-approved copies of Framefield BPC mesh previews and OpenBlueprint CAD walls can become independent workshop objects; original projects and preview-only assets remain untouched. Hardware acceptance for this upgrade is pending. See Spatial Workshop v0.2 guide.

Domistika XR · Connected 3D Workbench v0.1

The XR studio now connects the existing FramefieldStudio Export BPC XR animated mesh preview and a new read-only OpenBlueprintStudio Export JSON architectural plan preview, alongside free-air painting. Both imports are explicit local files; neither replaces the original source scene. See the contract and Quest playtest guide.

Domistika XR · Air Brush Studio v0.1

Paint in free air in Domistika XR with original neon, ribbon, and spark brushes, mirrored 3D strokes, independent local JSON backups, and GLB export. The existing 2D canvas studio and BPC preview remain in place. Quest 3 controller/hardware testing is still pending. See Air Brush Studio Guide.

Silicon Louvre Creative Handoff Receiver v1

Domistika can now receive a 5-minute browser-local SVG handoff from the museum's Creative Studio at https://michaelwave369.github.io/SiliconLouvre/ using the matching sender release.

• Preview is safe and automatic; import is not. Back up the current .domistika project, confirm the download, then create a new rasterized 800×800 paint-layer project.
• Checks the short-lived message, digest and a strict static SVG element/attribute allowlist.
• Imports locally with the public stable SDK and attempts rollback on failure.
• Does not publish artwork or enable arbitrary cross-app scripting.
• The museum's original scalable SVG export remains available for independent preservation.

See Silicon Louvre Receiver v1 for complete protocol and manual acceptance cases.

v0.9.43 — Artists Series / Impossible Geometry

Domistika now includes six original Artists Series symmetry studies under the Recipes inspector tab, inspired by mathematical tessellation, reversible perspective, recursive architecture, and optical geometry. The new TILE, GLIDE, and SHEAR primitives are live as you draw, and the generated thumbnail cards let you preview a style before applying it. The existing Dimensional Weave tool is linked from the series for intentional impossible-depth construction on independent layers. The patterns are original, not reproductions of existing artists' artworks. Guide.

v0.9.42 — Field Qualification

Domistika now contains an executable creative-authority end-to-end qualification protocol.

It snapshots the current project, runs a deterministic acceptance scenario on a disposable 512×512 project, hashes pixel evidence, writes a PSD in memory, then restores the original project even when a gate fails.

The frozen path verifies:

Composition Plate apply
Art Director generate + auto-lock
Symmetry Receipt verification
locked SDK write refusal
one-sector surgery
outside-sector no-op
inside-sector redraw
erase
redraw after erase
explicit radial refold + lock
exact undo / redo
.domistika save / restore
surgery provenance persistence
guide exclusion from PSD
motion-ignore exclusion from PSD
layered PSD write
original-project restoration

Pixel mutation checks use SHA-256 over raw RGBA canvas bytes. The final JSON qualification receipt is itself canonicalized and SHA-256 bound.

Stable SDK v0.1.19 adds:

await Domistika.qualification.run()
Domistika.qualification.last()
Domistika.qualification.running()

Command palette:

qualification.run

See Field Qualification.

v0.9.41 — Sector Surgery

Domistika can now open exactly one radial Composition Plate sector for bounded repair.

The workflow is deliberately narrow:

Art Director draws on a new layer
        ↓
generated layer locks
        ↓
pick one radial plate sector
        ↓
source is hidden + protected
        ↓
full repair copy becomes active
        ↓
brush / shape edits are clipped to sector ∩ region
        ↓
Seal only
or
Refold + lock

The full-copy approach means erasing and replacement edits are real rather than merely transparent paint stacked above the original.

Refold uses only the region's base RADIAL(n) count. MIRROR, NEST, SPIRAL, COUNTERSPIN, PERTURB, and PHASE are not silently reinterpreted as repair semantics.

Stable SDK v0.1.18 adds:

Domistika.sectorSurgery.begin(point, { space: 'normalized' })
Domistika.sectorSurgery.active()
Domistika.sectorSurgery.refold()
Domistika.sectorSurgery.seal()
Domistika.sectorSurgery.cancel()
Domistika.sectorSurgery.receipt()

See Sector Surgery.

v0.9.40 — Layered Exit

Domistika now exports layered PSD paint interchange while keeping .domistika as the canonical project format.

PSD export includes only semantic paint layers. Guide layers, type layers, motion-ignore layers, and export-excluded scaffolding are omitted. Hidden paint layers remain present as hidden PSD layers.

Preserved at the interchange boundary:

paint pixels
layer names
visibility
opacity
supported blend modes
stacking order
write-lock state

The export dialog now offers PSD · paint layers alongside PNG and JPEG.

Stable SDK v0.1.17 adds:

Domistika.export.inspectLayered()
Domistika.export.psd()

See Layered Exit.

v0.9.39 — Selection Acts

Domistika's existing rectangle/lasso Selection & Transform system now supports two bounded, one-step operations:

Fill selection
Stroke selection outline

Fill uses the current color + opacity. Outline uses the current brush size + opacity + color. Both close the active selection and create exactly one undo entry.

The selection panel also carries a compact five-brush recent strip backed by the real brush library. Layer locks now block pixel selection itself as well as both acts, closing the old selection-overlay lock bypass.

Stable SDK v0.1.16 adds:

await Domistika.selection.fill()
await Domistika.selection.strokeOutline()
Domistika.selection.boundary()

Domistika.brush.recent()
Domistika.brush.recall(brushId)

See Selection Acts.

v0.9.38 — Drafting Guides

Domistika now turns its existing export-excluded guide layers into precision constraints.

Built-ins:

Horizontal ruler
Vertical ruler
Ellipse
One-point perspective · one horizon + one vanishing point

Guide visibility and snapping are independent. The same active snap boundary applies to pointer/pen input and stable SDK strokes, so Recipe Artifacts and Agent Art Director output cannot silently bypass a drafting constraint.

Stable SDK v0.1.15 adds:

Domistika.draftingGuides.apply('horizontal-ruler', { position: 0.42 })
Domistika.draftingGuides.apply('ellipse', { cx: .5, cy: .5, rx: .32, ry: .22 })
Domistika.draftingGuides.apply('one-point', { horizonY: .42, vanishingX: .5 })
Domistika.draftingGuides.snap(false)
Domistika.draftingGuides.visible(false)
Domistika.draftingGuides.clear()

See Drafting Guides.

v0.9.37 — Layer Housekeeping

Domistika now has persistent layer locks, organizational groups, and one-step merge down.

Locked layers reject pixel writes from human drawing, symmetry, Composition Plates, SDK strokes, Recipe Artifacts, and Art Director targeting. Groups remain organization-only folders with no compositing semantics.

Stable SDK v0.1.14 adds:

Domistika.layers.lock(layerId, true)
await Domistika.layers.mergeDown(layerId)
Domistika.layers.groups.create('Guardians')
Domistika.layers.groups.assign(layerId, groupId)

See Layer Housekeeping.

v0.9.36 — Symmetry Receipts

Domistika now exports the generative grammar with the artwork instead of letting the pixels leave home without identification.

A SHA-256-bound receipt preserves:

formula
plate id + frozen regional grammar
Art Director seed
palette + palette source
transform count + count semantics

Creative Bridge remains protocol v2. The receipt carries its own hash, and that hash is anchored into the existing manifest-hashed bridge note so current Auralith receivers remain compatible.

Stable SDK v0.1.13 adds:

const receipt = await Domistika.symmetryReceipts.current()
await Domistika.symmetryReceipts.verify(receipt)

See Symmetry Receipts.

v0.9.35 — Composition Plates

Domistika symmetry can now obey different laws in different canvas regions.

The built-in plates are Mandala, Harvest Wheel, Portal Gate, and Square Guardians. Plate regions may carry their own Symmetry Recipe, constrain copies to the same region, or be protected from generated symmetry entirely. Protected regions still accept direct human drawing.

The Square Guardians plate is the acceptance target: the fold may shape the core, veil, body, gates, and flanks, but it is not allowed to enter the four guardian corners.

Stable SDK v0.1.12 adds:

Domistika.compositionPlates.list()
Domistika.compositionPlates.apply('square-guardians')
Domistika.compositionPlates.active()
Domistika.compositionPlates.regionAt({ x: 120, y: 120 })
Domistika.compositionPlates.clear()

See Composition Plates.

v0.9.31 — Semantic Role + Motion Policy

Domistika now separates semantic layer meaning from Kinetic Motion behavior.

role: paint | guide | type
motionPolicy: inherit | animate | ignore

Legacy role: motion-ignore projects migrate fail-safely, and a title can remain role: type while using motionPolicy: ignore.

See Semantic Role + Motion Policy.

Parallax Creative Interop v2 Candidate

Domistika now carries the frozen candidate profile for the owned four-app creative chain:

Domistika
→ Auralith369
→ ParaCut
→ WaveForgeStudio

Profile ID:

parallax.creative-interop.v2

Frozen spec SHA-256:

364448afa4997b4fb297a67e1d3cec73ec3bae500855ec21469a24df8ef01be0

Domistika CI independently recomputes this hash.

The optional CineSwarm extension remains explicitly unratified_receiver until an authorized receiver repository adopts it.

See Parallax Creative Interop v2.

v0.9.30 — Creative Bridge v2

Domistika now sends protected semantic overlays separately from the raster artwork Auralith is expected to grade.

paint          → base raster
guide          → excluded
type           → protected overlay
motion-ignore  → protected overlay

Creative Bridge v2 binds:

base image SHA-256
overlay image SHA-256
canonical manifest SHA-256

so modifying artwork pixels, title pixels, or semantic metadata invalidates the package.

Stable SDK v0.1.8 adds:

await Domistika.bridge.auralith.transfer()

and native site tools v0.1.1 add:

domistika_transfer_to_auralith

New Ink + Type placements retain domistika.semantic-text.v1 metadata, while older type and motion-ignore layers are still protected through their layer role alone.

See Creative Bridge v2.

Native Creative Chain Acceptance 001

The first observed live Domistika → Auralith finishing workflow is preserved as a cross-repo acceptance record.

The run verified:

Domistika 0.9.29
→ Harbor for Auralith
→ hash-bound parallax creative bridge
→ Auralith v0.7.1-alpha
→ image.open
→ Moonlight LUT
→ Vignette FX
→ 369 Cinema Style
→ creative receipt

The current bridge is raster, so type/layer semantics do not remain editable after transfer. That limitation is documented as expected behavior rather than hidden behind optimistic prose.

See Native Creative Chain Acceptance 001.

v0.9.29 — Native WebMCP Site Tools

Domistika now exposes a thin browser-native WebMCP layer over the frozen window.Domistika stable SDK.

Registered native site tools cover:

capabilities
command search / execution
canvas state
bounded strokes
Color Studio color + gradients
Spiro placement
semantic layer roles

The adapter uses the live stable runtime instead of reaching into raw canvas contexts or versioned labs.

Normal browsers without WebMCP continue to run Domistika unchanged. WebMCP-aware browsers can discover the site tools directly from the live page.

browser agent
→ WebMCP
→ Domistika site tools
→ window.Domistika
→ stable semantic runtime

See Native WebMCP Site Tools v0.9.29.

v0.9.28 — Playground UX + Capability Hygiene

Playground now makes its return path impossible to miss and keeps capability snapshots lightweight.

• A visible ▶ Playground chip sits beside Commands.
• After a demo, the chip becomes ↩ Return to Artwork.
• Playground completion shows an on-screen Return to my artwork action.
• The status line explicitly names ⌘K / Ctrl+K → Playground · Return to Previous Artwork.
• Domistika.playground.state() and Domistika.capabilities().playground now expose lightweight clip metadata only, excluding poster/data-URL payloads.
• Stable SDK advances to 0.1.7.

The first live end-to-end Playground run is preserved as Domistika Stable Runtime Acceptance 001.

See Playground UX v0.9.28 and Stable Runtime Acceptance 001.

v0.9.27 — Playground

Domistika now has a one-command first-run demo that performs the studio instead of merely describing it.

Run Playground · Demo the Studio from the Command Palette.

The sequence:

save return snapshot
→ fresh demo canvas
→ Portal Core gradient
→ Flower + Gear Spiro
→ static motion-ignore frame
→ 3·6·9 Portal
→ 3 second Kinetic recording
→ project motion clip / Gallery card
→ Stop

The previous artwork is held as an in-session return snapshot and can be restored with Playground · Return to Previous Artwork.

Stable SDK v0.1.6 adds:

await Domistika.playground.run()
await Domistika.playground.restorePrevious()
Domistika.playground.state()

await Domistika.project.restore(project)

Domistika.motion.record.start({ source: 'kinetic' })
Domistika.motion.record.stop({ source: 'kinetic' })

See Playground v0.9.27.

v0.9.26 — Layer Roles

Layers now carry a persisted semantic role:

paint · guide · type · motion-ignore

• Role is saved in .domistika projects and restored with the layer.
• Existing Superphase guide layers automatically remain guide.
• The Layers panel exposes a role selector and role badges.
• motion-ignore layers are excluded from the Kinetic snapshot and remain visibly static above Motion preview.
• Stable SDK v0.1.5 exposes Domistika.layers.role(...) and Domistika.layers.roles().
• Command Palette actions can mark the active layer as Paint, Type, or Motion Ignore.

This directly supports static titles, signatures, frames, and captions over animated artwork.

See Layer Roles v0.9.26.

v0.9.25 — Live Contract + Discovery Polish

Domistika now treats the running SDK as the canonical machine-readable contract.

Domistika.capabilities()

is the machine-readable source of truth for what the current build exposes. The README remains explanatory documentation, not a second capability registry.

• Domistika.tool.list() now discovers extension tools such as Fill, Select, and Smart selection when installed.
• Domistika.tool.set('fill') and Domistika.tool.set('select') route through their owning extension runtimes.
• Domistika.commands.search(query) gives scripts and agents the same search contract used by the Command Palette.
• Programmatic palette search now updates the visible palette when it is open.
• Harmony/color swatches have stronger two-tone framing so very dark and very light colors stay visible.

See Live Contract v0.9.25.

Live runtime contract

For integrations, do not infer features from README prose or app-version strings.

Use:

const capabilities = Domistika.capabilities();
const tools = Domistika.tool.list();
const commands = Domistika.commands.catalog();
const portal = Domistika.commands.search('portal');

The stable SDK is designed so humans, agents, scripts, accessibility tools, and future controllers can interrogate the same running contract.

v0.9.24 — Color Studio

The existing Colors room is now a complete color workspace instead of only a favorites bank.

• Native browser color wheel remains available.
• Exact HEX / HTML color input.
• Numeric RGB controls.
• Numeric HSL controls.
• Curated CSS named-color shelf.
• Local recent-color history.
• Existing Favorite Colors preserved.
• Automatically derived analog, triad, and complementary harmonies.
• Ten real linear/radial gradient presets.
• Gradients can paint behind existing pixels or replace the active layer with one undo checkpoint.
• Stable SDK v0.1.3 exposes Domistika.colors.*.
• Command palette gains Open Color Studio.

See Color Studio v0.9.24.

v0.9.23 — Command Palette

Domistika now has a searchable command palette backed by the stable SDK command bus.

• Open with Ctrl/Cmd+K or the Commands button.
• Search by command label, id, category, description, keywords, or shortcut.
• Keyboard navigation with Up / Down / Enter / Escape.
• Jump directly to Spiro Lab, Motion Studio, Gallery, and Creature Lab.
• Select common drawing tools without hunting the tool rail.
• Launch Motion presets, Composer / Visual Performance scenes, and recording controls.
• Open export/new-canvas/shortcut surfaces through the same command bus.
• Download the latest project motion clip.
• Stable SDK v0.1.2 adds Domistika.commands.catalog() while preserving list() and execute().

The palette owns search and presentation only. Feature execution stays inside window.Domistika.

See Command Palette v0.9.23.

v0.9.22 — Motion Clips as Project Objects

Motion recording now belongs to the artwork instead of only leaving through the browser download tray.

• Kinetic, Composer, and Visual Performance WebM recordings are saved to a bounded local motion-clip registry.
• Autosave stores clip metadata and IndexedDB references without repeatedly duplicating video base64.
• Explicit .domistika project downloads embed motion media for portability.
• Opening an embedded project restores the clips locally.
• Each recording lands in My Gallery with a poster, motion badge, and local video playback.
• Existing WebM download behavior remains available.
• Per-clip limit: 24 MiB.
• Per-project limit: 8 clips.
• Stable SDK v0.1.1 exposes Domistika.motion.clips.* and portable project serialization.

See Motion Clips v0.9.22.

v0.9.21 — Stable SDK v0.1

Domistika now exposes one frozen public runtime surface:

window.Domistika

The SDK wraps the existing versioned modules instead of replacing them. It provides stable canvas, tool, brush, stroke, layer, Spiro, Motion, clean-capture, event, and command surfaces for scripts, accessibility tools, test harnesses, MIDI experiments, and governed agents.

Highlights:

• Domistika.setTool(...), Domistika.color(...), and Domistika.stroke(...);
• canvas-coordinate or normalized-coordinate scripted strokes;
• missing scripted pressure defaults safely to full pressure, so direct drawSegment calls no longer collapse brush width;
• metadata-only layer controls without exposing raw canvas contexts;
• stable Spiro placement and Motion preset/scene wrappers;
• Domistika.export.capture() over the clean-art v0.9.20 contract;
• semantic domistika:* events;
• an initial command bus intended to back a future command palette;
• no network, filesystem, arbitrary JavaScript, or raw context surface.

See Stable SDK v0.1.

v0.9.20 — Clean Composite Capture

Domistika now exposes a bounded read-only clean-art capture surface at window.domistikaCleanCaptureV0920.

It returns the current CanvasEngine.compositeCanvas() artwork as a PNG payload without Studio chrome, symmetry guides, zoom controls, or other overlay UI. The surface is intentionally narrow:

• PNG only;
• base64 only;
• maximum output dimension 2048 px;
• optional white background;
• no network access;
• no filesystem access;
• no local-storage access;
• no mutation of the canvas.

This is designed for governed local visual-critic bridges such as Browsallax while keeping capture separate from drawing authority.

Domistika

A free, lefty-friendly drawing studio for the open web.

Domistika is an independent browser art application created for artists who want a focused sketching space without subscriptions, locked tools, or device-specific installs. The interface defaults to a left-handed layout and can flip instantly for right-handed artists.

Domistika is inspired by the broad category of professional digital sketchbooks. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or a copy of Sketchbook, Autodesk, or Sketchbook, Inc. No proprietary assets or source code are used.

• Adjustable X/Y pivot travel radius and orbit frequency
• Scene Sequencer for automatically advancing through existing kinetic performance presets
• Dream Cycle, Energy Run, Storm Ride, and Meditation Loop scene sets
• Ordered or shuffled scene playback with adjustable scene duration
• Composer presets: Ghost Mandala, Orbit Bloom, Infinite Dream, and Calm Drift
• WebM and PNG export automatically capture the visible Composer output when trails or kaleidoscope optics are active
• Additive runtime preserves the v0.9.15 live-source protection and authored paint layers

v0.9.17 — Mind Melt Pack

• One-click Slow Trails mode with long temporal memory and Slow Drift base motion
• Kaleidoscope quick buttons for 8, 12, and 16 mirrored slices
• Orbit quick paths for Circle, Ellipse, and Figure 8
• Quick WebM capture with 10, 12, 20, and 30 second duration choices
• Capture automatically uses Composer output when Trails or Kaleidoscope are active and falls back to the base kinetic recorder otherwise
• Black Stage toggle for a checker-free black void behind transparent kinetic artwork
• One-click MIND MELT combination: Hypnosis + Ghost Trails + Kaleido 12 + Figure-8 Orbit + Black Stage
• Reset action turns off Mind Melt add-ons while preserving the underlying kinetic motion state
• Additive control layer leaves authored artwork untouched

v0.9.19 — Accessible Input Bridge

• Sticky Draw toggle: click once for pen down, move the cursor to draw, click again for pen up
• Sticky strokes keep the existing brush engine, symmetry modes, layers, autosave, and one-step undo behavior
• Sticky Draw safely lifts on tool/layer changes, pan activation, pointer cancel, or interaction with controls outside the canvas
• Leaving and re-entering the canvas suspends and resumes Sticky Draw without connecting an accidental line across the gap
• Polyline mode for click-only precision drawing with live segment preview
• Enter or double-click commits a polyline; Backspace removes the last point; Escape cancels and restores the untouched layer
• Sticky Draw and Polyline are mutually exclusive alternative-input modes
• Keyboard access: Shift+D toggles Sticky Draw and Shift+P toggles Polyline
• ARIA pressed states and a live on-canvas mode indicator make input state explicit
• Public runtime API: window.domistikaAccessibleInputV0919
• Designed as an accessibility feature for people and alternative-input operators rather than a device-specific accommodation
