# UnifiedWriter v5.39.0 Stage 1 Practical Editing

This build consolidates the planned first stage after v5.35.0.

## Scope

- v5.36-style table practical editing: table grid normalization, row/column resize handles, and stronger visual table affordances.
- v5.37-style image layout: inline, break text, wrap text, behind/in-front metadata, image margin and caption metadata.
- v5.38-style review/history: comment edit/reply foundations, snapshot compare entry and improved review panel integration.
- v5.39-style page chrome: visible header/footer, page-number rendering and footnote listing/renumber/edit/delete foundations.

## Model-first notes

Visible header/footer/page-number and footnote areas are renderer chrome. They are rebuilt from `current.headerFooter` and `current.footnotes` after rendering. Image resize handles, table resize handles and captions are also transient UI. The canonical document state remains the DocumentModel plus UnifiedWriter metadata stored in UWPSX.

## Remaining work

The implementation is a practical foundation. Full Word-compatible table grid resolution, floating image layout, review-thread collaboration and full section-level header/footer editing remain later stages.
