The name a text takes from its content and the size it is measured to are
derived: they never touch a copy (decisions (d) and (g), Phase 3c).
- Let a copy text's automatic name follow its own letters.
The editors name a text after its letters on every edit. In a copy that
rename went through the same write as the content, so it touched
:name-group (F27), against decision (d) of the component contract: only an
explicit rename is an override.
- update-shapes takes :ignore-touched as a set of attributes too, and the
editors' commits (v1 and v3, finalize and keystrokes) and the replace of
text pass #{:name}: the name follows the content, so its write is
derived. Token unapply still runs for such an update.
- Sync gives an untouched copy text the name generated from the letters it
shows after the sync when its main's name is the one generated from the
main's letters (decision (d), refined), and the main's name otherwise.
So a copy that retyped its text keeps that name, and one that did not
follows the main's.
The pure runner's text edit makes the same commit. Case Y no longer pins
F27 and checks the copy's name follows its letters; both golden masters
record the copy without :name-group.
text-sync-test: an untouched copy takes the main's letters and name, a
copy that typed its letters keeps the name they give, and a main named by
hand passes its name on.
- Name a text with several paragraphs without line breaks.
The editors name a text after its letters, with the line breaks of its
paragraphs included, so a text "Hello world" + Enter + "Ends Sunday" was
named "Hello world\nEnds Sunday"; the layers panel showed a space there
(F82). generate-shape-name now turns each line break, with the spaces
around it, into one space.
text-test: the name of a two-paragraph text joins them with a space.
- Keep the size a WASM text grows to from touching the copy.
A text that grows with its content (auto width, auto height) gets its size
from the WASM renderer after a font loads, a style changes, a paste or an
edit ends. That size is derived from the content, yet the resize applied
it as a user change, so a copy's text took :geometry-group each time and
kept that size against its main (F1). The resize and the debounced resize,
the size an edit ends with and its geometry undo now pass ignore-touched.
These paths measure the text in WASM, so no headless test reaches them.
Checked in the browser with the WASM renderer: an edit of a copy's text
touches :content-group only, and a resize after a font size change of 24
grows the text with no :geometry-group.
- Keep the finalize resize of a text out of the undo stack.
When an edit of an existing text ends, the WASM renderer gives the size it
grows to, and the finalize commit stores that size along with its undo.
The resize that shows it on the canvas recorded an undo of its own with no
undo group: a release build kept a second undo entry for one edit, and a
dev build failed the undo entry check (F36). It now records none; a new
text still joins the undo group of its creation.
Checked in the browser with the WASM renderer: an edit of an existing text
adds one undo entry.
- Keep the size a text edit ends with from touching the copy.
When an edit of a text ends, the editor stores its content together with
the size measured for it (the SVG renderer's text modifier, or the WASM
measure in the v1 editor). Only the name was written as derived, so an
edit of a copy's text touched :geometry-group besides :content-group, and
the text kept its size against its main (F1, in the SVG renderer). These
writes now take the size, the position data and the name as derived; the
content still touches.
workspace-text-modifier-test: an edit that ends with a measured width
touches the copy text's content only. Checked in the browser with the SVG
renderer: an edit of a copy's text touches :content-group and
:text-content-text only.
- Measure again on WASM the texts a sync writes.
The size of a text that grows with its content is derived (decision (g) of
the component contract): sync writes the main's, and the renderer measures
the text again. The SVG renderer does so when it draws the text; the WASM
renderer did not, so a copy text with content of its own kept its main's
width and height after a sync (F35). Now, with the WASM renderer, a sync
of the current file measures again the auto-grow texts of the current page
it writes, without a component sync of its own, in the undo group of the
sync; a sync with no undo group gets one for both.
Texts on other pages keep the size sync wrote until they are measured
again.
workspace-sync-wasm-text-test: a sync that writes a copy text with content
of its own measures it again, in the undo group of the sync. Checked in
the browser with the WASM renderer: after the main text grows or shrinks,
two copy texts with content of their own get their own widths and no
:geometry-group.

Penpot is the open-source design platform for teams that build digital products at scale.
Penpot’s key strength lies in giving you full ownership of your design infrastructure. Built on open source and designed for self-hosting, it puts teams in complete control of their design environment supporting strict compliance and governance requirements. Whether used in the browser or deployed on your own servers, Penpot works with open standards like SVG, CSS, HTML, and JSON.
Real-time collaboration strengthens this foundation, helping teams scale and bring design closer to the product through top-tier capabilities. Additionally, developers feel at home using Penpot, because design is expressed as code, enabling a direct translation and shipping products faster.
Best-in-class native Design Tokens provide a single source of truth between design and development. They ensure consistency, improve collaboration, and make it easier to manage complex design systems.
The MCP server takes it further by enabling multi-directional workflows between design and code. A powerful open API and plugin system makes the workspace programmable, enabling automation, AI-driven workflows, and integrations with the tools and systems you already use.
With CSS Grid and Flex Layout, teams can design responsive interfaces that behave like real code from the start.
Combined, these features turn Penpot into a full-stack design platform for building scalable design systems and fully integrated product development processes.
If your organization is scaling and needs extra support, we’re here to help. Talk to us

Why Penpot
Penpot connects design, code, and AI workflows through a code-based approach, making designs readable by developers and AI via the MCP server. This approach helps teams ship what’s actually designed and manage design systems at scale with powerful design tokens. As a self-hosted, open-source and real-time collaboration platform, Penpot offers full flexibility, security, and ownership without vendor lock-in. Learn more about why Penpot is the platform for your team.
Plugin system
Penpot plugins let you expand the platform's capabilities, give you the flexibility to integrate it with other apps, and design custom solutions.
