Claude 4983796970 Design tab: sketch Offset takes the whole outline, not one segment
Offset worked on the single entity under the pointer. On an outline made
of many short entities (a text glyph, an imported shape) that is a
segment a few tenths of a millimetre long, and the starting distance was
a tenth of that: the ghost was too small to see, and a typed distance
moved one invisible segment. It read as "Offset does nothing, no
preview".

- The pick takes the chain the entity belongs to (connected_loop, same
  construction state), highlights all of it, and offsets it as one
  outline through offset_entities, which already joins and trims chains
  at their seams.
- The starting distance is a twentieth of the outline's size, so the
  preview is visible at once.
- The arrow reads its side off the ghost, since the engine may walk the
  picked entity backwards in the chain; it keeps pointing at the offset
  copy, flipped for a negative distance.
- A single entity still gets its Parallel/Concentric constraint. A chain's
  offset is placed as geometry, since its joined entities no longer map
  one to one onto the originals.
