### Fixes and quick wins
The bugs users hit, the docs and a few quick wins: good first pull requests.
- Robustness: the Windows 11 start-up failure

- Robustness: Control-click menus on macOS
([#707](https://github.com/opengeos/RustGIS/issues/707)), Load Off-Map Data
([#661](https://github.com/opengeos/RustGIS/issues/661)).
- A pass over the user guide, the comparison pages and the README against what the app does
today (vertex editing, spatial join and kriging are listed as missing or undocumented; some
pages still say 16 languages).
today (no page says layout PDFs are pictures of each page; the built-in tool count), and short
task tutorials for newcomers: buffer, select and export a list; edit a layer and save the
result; a print layout _(open)_.

- Projects that survive a move: data paths kept relative to the project, and Repair Data Source

administrator can fix for a managed install (no AI Assistant, plugins or web services).
- Extend the OS keychain secret store to service connections (database passwords, S3 keys and
AI provider keys can already be remembered).
- Overlay tools beside Clip and Erase: intersect, union, identity and near _(open)_.

- Kernel density (heat map) as a tool and as a renderer; point clustering.
- SVG and PNG markers, fill patterns and a symbol library.
- A legend and colour bar on the map.
- A legend and colour bar on the map. In layouts, legend entries reordered, renamed and set in
columns; several values grouped into one unique-value class.
- Layouts and reports exported as vector PDF, with text and map frames as vectors (each page is
one picture today).
- Map series at a fixed scale, with the current feature highlighted and its attributes in the
page's text.
- Extend QGIS QML style import beyond the supported renderers; add SLD styles.
- A histogram for raster stretches; raster attribute tables.

### Data at the source
- Write edits back to GeoPackage and PostGIS (edits stay in the project today). _Coordinate
first._
- A date and date-time field type, read and written as dates (they are text today)
([#853](https://github.com/opengeos/RustGIS/issues/853)). _Coordinate first_ (it changes
`FieldType`).
- Editable standalone tables (they are read-only today).
- Export into an existing GeoPackage as an added or replaced table, leaving its other tables
([#852](https://github.com/opengeos/RustGIS/issues/852); export refuses an existing file today).
- Polygon editing: cut a polygon, reshape and trace _(open)_; then shared edges, where moving one
boundary moves its neighbour's too.
- Editor tracking fields (created/edited by and at).
- Attribute table columns: rename, hide and reorder _(open)_.
- Persistent attribute joins and virtual fields. _Coordinate first_ (they change `Feature`).
- Attribute forms: widgets, constraints and conditional visibility, on top of domains and
subtypes.
- Coded-value domains and subtypes read from File Geodatabases (their codes show raw today).
- Layer metadata, exported as STAC items.
- ArcGIS sign-in (OAuth) and a Portal browser, once the secret store (Solid ground) exists.

### Analysis
- Routing: isochrones, service areas and an origin–destination matrix (today shortest path over
a line layer).
- Hot-spot statistics (Getis-Ord Gi\*), and emerging hot spots on the time slider.
- Charts linked to the selection: histogram, scatter, bar and box plots of a layer's fields.
- Reverse geocoding; a DEM downloader so viewshed works without a loaded elevation raster
_(open)_.
- Tabulate intersection: one layer's counts and totals shared out to another by area overlap,
once intersect exists.
- Reverse geocoding, and the US Census geocoder beside Nominatim and Photon; a DEM downloader so
viewshed works without a loaded elevation raster _(open)_.
