### create_gradient with more than two stops: the second stop is placed at 100 %

`create_gradient { type: "radial", stops: [ {position:0,…}, {position:22,…}, {position:72,…}, {position:100,…} ] }`
reads back as rampPoints **0, 72, 100, 100**: the stop given second (22 %) ends up at 100 % with its colour,
after the real 100 % stop. Listing the 100 % stop second (`[0, 100, 22, 72]`) produces the correct 0/22/72/100
ramp, so it looks like the default gradient's second stop keeps rampPoint 100 when it is overwritten, and the
added stops are sorted around it.

Environment as in…

### group_objects stacking order is the reverse of the documented order (also for clipped groups)

The description says the first UUID becomes the bottommost item and, with `clipped: true`, the last UUID
becomes the clip path. Observed on 1.10.3 / Illustrator 2026 / Windows:

- `group_objects { uuids: [A, B] }` with A and B overlapping → **A renders on top of B**, and
  `get_document_structure` reports A with the higher zIndex.
- `group_objects { uuids: [content, mask], clipped: true }` → **content** became the clipping path (it lost its
  fill) and the mask shape became the clipped content.…

### import_svg_as_editable duplicates compound-path sub-paths and group children (holes get filled)

`import_svg_as_editable` copies every item in `srcDoc.pageItems`, but in Illustrator `Document.pageItems` is
recursive: it contains the children of compound paths and groups as well as the top-level items. Each child is
therefore duplicated a second time as a loose item next to its parent.

Visible result: any shape with a hole (letters O/A/R/B after outlining, donuts, frames) is imported with its
sub-paths also placed as solid standalone paths on top, so the holes appear filled. Groups get…
