Feedback is welcome — future updates may follow based on interest and available time.

⚠️ Known issue:

Native Figma shapes (such as ellipses, stars, and polygons) may incorrectly define the starting point of the path after being edited or used in boolean operations. This can lead to inaccurate object placement.

✅ How to fix:

Copy the shape as SVG and paste it back into the canvas — this will convert it into a clean vector path.

Additionally, you can manually inspect and adjust the nodes if needed.
