* Tests: Free Transform applies when another tool, layer or New Layer is picked (#5665, #5667)
Whole-app regression tests for the paths #5665 and #5667 report (a moved box, and a placed image moved or untouched; toolbar tool click, Layers panel row click, New Layer). They pass on main, so these issues don't reproduce here; the tests pin Photoshop's behaviour (apply, never silently cancel) while the reporters narrow down their environment.
* New Layer while Free Transform is open applies the transform first (History: the transform, then New Layer; a placed layer's step no longer swallows New Layer); tests: a real placed fixture, the New Layer button, History order
* Free Transform + New Layer: check the command can run before applying the transform; a refused transform keeps the box and the placed layer and returns the refusal
* Free Transform + New Layer: Session::precheck validates the call (params shape, New Layer's values, precondition) before the box is applied
* Free Transform + New Layer: commit-first only for PRECHECKED commands; precheck shares dispatch's admission checks (named-layer precondition, jobs, hidden target) and checks a named layer exists; Group from Layers documents its layer param; test: precheck agrees with execute
* Free Transform + New Layer: precheck resolves a layer given by name as the command does; Layer via Copy/Cut leave PRECHECKED (their failures show only when they run); rebased (lib.rs mod lines)
Like Photoshop, Cmd/Ctrl-clicking the Layers panel's New Layer button adds the
layer below the selected layer instead of above it. The Background stays at the
bottom: below it, the layer lands above it.
* Layers: clip groups follow New Layer, Arrange, Reorder and Delete (#2203)
Adding, moving or deleting layers never touched Layer::clipped, so a
new layer above a clipping base split its group and became the base of
the layers clipped above it, and moving or deleting a base left its
clipped layers clipping to whatever ended up below them.
The new clip_group module applies Photoshop's rules, measured on #2203:
a layer added or moved joins the clip group it lands in; a clipped
layer moved stays clipped while it still sits on a clip group; the
layers clipped to a base that moves away or is deleted are released;
and a clipped run left with nothing below it is released. They are
applied by layer.new.layer (new clipToPrevious param, Photoshop's Use
Previous Layer to Create Clipping Mask), layer.arrange.*, layer.moveTo
(Layers panel drags, batches and ⌥-drag copies) and layer.delete.

* Layers: the New Layer dialog (Layer › New › Layer…, ⇧⌘N)
Layer › New › Layer… made a layer straight away. It now opens
Photoshop's New Layer dialog: Name (focused and selected), Use Previous
Layer to Create Clipping Mask, Color, Mode, Opacity, and Fill with
<mode>-neutral color, greyed out with "(No neutral color exists for
<mode> mode.)" for modes that have none. OK makes the layer in one
history step.
layer.new.layer gains mode, opacity, color and fillNeutral params
(new engine module new_layer.rs) beside clipToPrevious. The neutral
colors (white for the darkening modes and Divide, black for the
lightening and difference modes, 50% gray for the light modes) are
checked by compositing at 8, 16 and 32 bits.
As in Photoshop, the Layers panel's New Layer button still makes a
layer at once and ⌥-click opens the dialog; commands with params
(automation, Actions, MCP) never show it.
