Also: the klammertext argtype (descriptions kept as source), txt table
wrapping and :hpos/:offset, @c between ‹ ›, txt section headings, the
ktext newline-only trim, capitalize(), and the argtype test suite.

A run of Unicode code points now needs one pair of carets, not one pair
each: ^9053 53EF 9053^ renders the characters adjacently, and a single
character inside such a run stands for itself. An invalid code point is
an error naming the position that wrote it, rather than an apology
rendered into the finished document; noncharacters are refused alongside
surrogates; and a code point that lands on a Klammertext special is safe
through the re-reads that assemble a document. The character tables now
produce the precomposed form, so a diacritic written as ^a" and one typed
directly are the same text to a search or a copy-paste.
"kdesc -u" describes how to write a Unicode character, with tables of
glyphs beside the codes that produce them. It is new and not yet
complete: it predates the sequence form and the typeface klammer below.
A typeface and a style are no longer both called "font". A typeface is a
family resolved by name; a style code is the one letter naming a type
style. So @document takes :serif_typeface and its siblings, a table takes
:style, captions take :caption_style and :caption_size, the uniform scale
is :text_scale, and the command is "kdesc --typeface". This renames
arguments a document may already use; an old name is a located error
rather than a silent omission.
@typeface sets a passage in another typeface for the length of that
passage:
@typeface Noto Sans Egyptian Hieroglyphs | ^132AA 133CF^ :scale 1.5 @
Writing the klammer is the whole declaration -- the document resolves the
typeface, embeds it in what it produces, and carries its license along.
Two typefaces for scripts no text font covers now ship with Klammertext:
Noto Sans Egyptian Hieroglyphs and Noto Sans Cuneiform. Every typeface in
the distribution now carries its license file.

kdesc gains --coverage, which reports for every klammer the set of targets it
can render to, and — the point of it — which klammers' coverage cannot be
derived and must therefore be declared. Three rules: coverage is DERIVED
where the definitions determine it (a general body of klammer calls covers
the intersection of what those klammers cover, by a greatest fixpoint after
loading), DECLARED where the engine cannot interpret what decides it (an
@eval body, whose targets are undecidable), and UNKNOWN where nothing is
written — which never means "deliberately unavailable".
Two new spellings in a definition's name. A comma-separated target list,
"@@table.html,tex :: ...", gives one body several targets; it is surface
syntax, expanded at registration, and each member goes through the
redefinition rules on its own. And "@@date.* :: ..." writes the general
target out, asserting that the klammer works for EVERY target including ones
not yet defined — a stronger claim than a list of the targets defined today,
and the one target declaration that could be mechanically falsified.
The Standard Klammer Set was swept accordingly: it now has no general
definitions at all, every klammer names the targets it serves, six use ".*",
and tex and pdf are at zero undecided.
kdesc's flags are reorganised on two rules: a flag reached for often gets a
single letter (-k klammers, -t targets, -c characters, -i input), a more
specialised topic a multi-letter name (--argtypes, --katoms, --rewrite,
--optionsets, --coverage, --klammerset, --font); and -v says how much to show
about PROCESSING, never what the RESULT contains — so the katom regex column
is "--katoms full" and the coverage detail "--coverage all". NOTE: "-k" now
lists klammers (optionally filtered by a name/description search); the katom
table moved to "--katoms".
Fixes carried along: an option written with no value crashed the command with
SIGSEGV instead of reporting the mistake; two required positional arguments
never parsed; kdesc and kdiag printed an error and exited 0; and definition
diagnostics counted registrations rather than what was written, so one line
could be reported as two definitions and then printed twice.
Four new test suites: target_list, coverage, command_option, kdesc.

Sync with klammertext-dev through b90b0e09:
- Argument types end to end: :python_cast values are applied (Python
@eval receives real bools/numbers/lists), argument values are
validated against their argtype patterns with the argtype's
description as the error message, argtypes can declare :default
(overridable per declaration), and parameterized type families are
supported: rest(N) casts a rest argument to an N-dimensional list
(bar-count = dimension).
- Unified indexed_range syntax (selector with parenthesized subsets,
composable mnemonic names) for table lines and spans.
- Table klammer: caption fonts fixed in both targets, :column_width /
:leading / :colsep wired, :colspan and :rowspan render (HTML
attributes; \multicolumn / \multirow), calculated cell values (:calc)
with prefix operators, display-precision semantics, :calc_format and
:decimal period|comma.
- Fonts: closed-world resolution on the Klammertext font store
(infrastructure in mac/font_store; no Google Fonts links or fetch).
Default fonts live in the top-level fnt/; additional fonts install
into KLAMMERTEXT_FONTS directories via kdesc --font (list, samples,
preview, install — classification by font metadata). CSS font family
names are quoted (digit-initial families were silently lost).
- Environment files moved from mac/env/ to the top-level env/; shell
profiles source env/runtime.env. Dead per-host variants removed.
- Container: fnt/ ships in the image; curl removed (no network use).
Curated source subset assembled by klammertext-dev's doc/make_dist.sh: the Klammermachine (mac), the Standard Klammer Set (sks), the commands (com), editor plugins and install guides (doc), a test subset (tst), and lib/bin placeholders. Builds with 'make -C com'.
