Tommaso Bianchi 0e7fcb3daf Recipe v5: length-frame every feature, so the format stops orphaning projects
Every version bump so far has permanently orphaned every project saved before
it. deserialize_recipe refused anything that was not exactly the current
version, and with no migration path v2 and v3 projects are unopenable today —
the 3MF still carries the mesh, so the user gets a frozen solid and no feature
history, which is the whole point of the subsystem silently absent.

The cause was the shape of the data, not the gate. save/load is one flat
symmetric list of ~90 fields with no framing, so a reader has no way to know
where a feature ends unless it agrees on every field.

Each feature is now written as its own cereal stream behind a length prefix, and
the same few lines handle both directions of mismatch. Older file, newer build:
the sub-stream ends early, the read throws, and the fields already assigned are
kept while the rest default — cereal assigns sequentially, so a mid-list throw
leaves the earlier fields set, and that is what makes this work. Newer file,
older build: the sub-stream holds more bytes than the reader knows; it reads what
it knows and stops, and the outer stream is untouched because the length prefix
was consumed in full. A field a project predates is not a corrupt project, so
neither case is an error.

v4 keeps its own pre-framing flat path and opens exactly as before —
cad_recipe_v4.bin is untouched and now serves as the witness for that. v2 and v3
stay refused, by name: their field lists no longer exist in this code. This fixes
the future, not the past, and the comment says so rather than implying otherwise.

From here a new field only needs appending to save/load — no bump, no orphaned
projects. That removes the cost that had blocked snaporca-44m and snaporca-dgv.

The helix round-trip test was reading the blob back flat, reaching into the
format instead of through it; framing necessarily breaks that, so it now goes
through deserialize_recipe, which is a stronger assertion than it made before.
Every field check it carried is unchanged.

Tests: four new [CadDocument][recipe] cases, including the one the change exists
for — a deliberately truncated feature blob must LOAD, keeping what it could read.
Suite 177 -> 181 cases, 2366 -> 2411 assertions.

Tommaso Bianchi 4b3ff99004 Project load: say WHY the CAD model could not be restored
deserialize_recipe distinguishes three cases that matter very differently to the
person reading the message — saved by a NEWER build, saved by an OLDER one, or
genuinely unreadable — and names the version in each. load_recipe threw all of
that away and printed one generic sentence, so the user could not tell "update
SnapOrca" from "your file is damaged", and had no way to find out.

Same error-loss class as the 31 McpControl sites fixed in 1de72de9ed: the message
existed, it was simply not passed on. The generic sentence stays as the fallback
for the case where the kernel really has nothing to say.

This does not make old projects loadable — that is snaporca-2txy, which the audit
behind this change opened. It only stops the reason being withheld.

Tommaso Bianchi 7245415af7 Sketch: a profile may hold more than one closed loop — a plate with a hole extrudes
entities_to_wire handled exactly two shapes of sketch: one lone Circle/Ellipse, or
any number of Line/Arc/EllipseArc/BSpline pushed into a single MakeWire. Everything
else fell off the end as a null wire, so a circle drawn inside a rectangle — the
most ordinary thing in this whole program — refused with "not supported yet". Two
separate closed polygons were quietly worse: both went into one MakeWire, which
does not mean "two loops" to OCCT.

entities_to_wires now returns one wire per loop. A Circle or Ellipse is a loop on
its own; chain entities are grouped by shared endpoints (union-find, 1e-6 in sketch
coordinates), and an open chain still comes back as a wire because a sweep path is
legitimately open. It is all-or-nothing: one loop that fails to build poisons the
whole result, because a partial profile would extrude a shape the user did not draw
— the failure 2e6a8f9e91 was written to stop.

entities_to_wire survives as a two-line wrapper returning the single wire when
there is exactly one loop and a null wire otherwise, so all nine of its call sites
keep their exact contract and Revolve/Sweep/Loft/Surface* are untouched. What a
holed profile means for each of those is a separate question.

wires_to_face takes the largest-area loop as the outer boundary and adds the rest
reversed, which is how OCCT is told a wire is a hole. Containment is CHECKED with
BRepClass_FaceClassifier, not assumed: a loop outside the largest one is a second
island, and one sketch producing several solids is a much bigger feature, so it is
refused by name ("two disjoint regions") rather than guessed at.

Only the Extrude case consumes the new face. Tapered extrudes of a holed profile
are refused — offsetting inner loops has to go the opposite way — and the guard
counts wires on the face already built rather than rebuilding every wire to ask how
many there are, which is also the more honest test: what matters is the profile
being extruded.

Tests: six new [CadDocument][sketchwire] cases, proved by VOLUME rather than by not
throwing — plate-with-hole, two holes, and two regression guards that a lone circle
and a lone polygon extrude exactly as before. Suite 177 cases / 2366 assertions.
No serialized field, recipe version untouched, golden fixtures unchanged.

Tommaso Bianchi ad8b5a73fe Hover pre-highlight: show what a click would take, before it is taken
Third and last piece of the selection model. The other two turned out to be
built already — the rubber band is pick_bodies_in_rectangle and vertex picking
is SolidSel::Vertex with its camera-facing square, both live — so this closes
what the issue actually still described.

Vertex beats edge beats face is a rule the user cannot see until after they have
committed to a click. Showing the outcome under the pointer is what makes the
precedence learnable at all, and is the charter's L5 read honestly: one click,
one visible change means the change has to be predictable BEFORE the click, not
only explicable after it.

The resolution is now one function, resolve_solid_pick, const and writing only
into its out-parameter. The click applies it and then runs its escalation
unchanged; the hover applies nothing. Split this way the promise cannot drift
from the act — a second implementation of "what is under the cursor" would
eventually disagree with the first, and the disagreement would look like a
picking bug rather than a duplication one.

Rendering is likewise one function called twice. The pre-highlight draws first
so the committed selection paints over it, and is suppressed entirely when the
two are the same thing: two coats of the same colour reads as a rendering fault,
and a promise about a click that would change nothing is not worth making. It is
desaturated toward white rather than given its own hue — a distinct colour would
read as a distinct KIND of selection, when it is the same selection one moment
earlier.

Two things that would have been silent bugs. The edge ribbon and the vertex
square render with GL_BLEND off, so an alpha below 1 there is ignored; those two
are quietened by a muted rgb and only the blended face fill takes the alpha
multiplier. And the pre-highlight is cleared in clear_solid_selection, because it
names a face by an index into a shape a recompute has just rebuilt — left behind,
it would keep glowing on whatever now sits at that index, a real entity but not
the one meant.

Hover runs on plain motion only, with no button down and no band running: during
a drag the pointer is doing something else and a promise about clicking would be
a lie. It returns false so the event still reaches the camera — it asks for a
repaint, it does not consume the gesture.

Tommaso Bianchi 498c7ff8d1 Pattern/Cut/Boolean: grey the button when there is no body, and say why
Tommaso reported the array controls as missing. They were not — Shift+N opens a
Pattern card with every control correct — but the report was fair. With no body
the button accepts the click, opens nothing, and writes its refusal somewhere
other than where the click happened. From the user's seat that is
indistinguishable from a dead button, and the icon is one unlabelled glyph among
fourteen, which is how I mis-clicked it into Section view while reproducing this.

A control that cannot act should look like it cannot act, before it is pressed.
The three FEATURE buttons carrying a body-count guard — Pattern and Cut at one
body, Boolean at two — are now greyed below their threshold with a tooltip
naming what is missing.

Only those three. The same guard shape also appears on rows INSIDE the flyouts,
and those stay live: a drawer holds sketch-only entries too, so disabling the
drawer would hide tools that are perfectly usable. The keyboard shortcuts keep
running the guarded action rather than being gated — a key press has no
greyed-out state to see, so the sentence is the only feedback there is.

Re-evaluated in feed_bodies(), before its viewport early-return since this is
about the toolbar and not the canvas, and once after the toolbar is built: an
empty document is the state the bug was reported in and feed_bodies has not run
yet on a fresh tab.

Tommaso Bianchi 13922a52b6 Design status: clear the DoF line on leaving sketch mode, and wrap the HUD chip
Two independent leftovers, both in the same status area.

snaporca-752: the "N degrees of freedom" line described a sketch's constraint
state and stayed on screen after Confirm, Cancel and the Escape downgrade, in
Feature mode where it means nothing — visible in every Feature-mode screenshot of
the 2026-07-27 sweep. Cleared in set_ui_mode rather than at those three exits,
because that is the one place all of them pass through and a fourth exit added
later would otherwise reintroduce it. Constrain mode keeps the readout: that is
where the number is the whole point.

snaporca-8cc: moving the status out of the panel and into the viewport HUD
removed the clipping, but not the underlying problem. The chip is a top-level
popup that Fit()s to its text, so a long sentence grew past the right edge of the
canvas and hung over the window instead of being cut off inside it — the same
silent length limit wearing a different hat. The label now wraps to the room
actually available (canvas width minus the view-cube inset), which is what makes
the earlier promise that "a sentence can be a sentence" true at 1366 as well as
at 1920.

SetLabel + Wrap + Fit are now one function called from both the text change and
the placement. Wrap() rewrites the label it is handed, so it has to follow a
fresh SetLabel every time, and the placement path runs on resize — a chip wrapped
for the old width either overhangs a narrowed canvas or wastes a widened one.
The left inset is one constant now because the wrap width and the anchor have to
agree, or the chip wraps to a width it is not then given.

Tommaso Bianchi 8737ff701e i18n: drop regenerated catalogues from the PR branch
The .pot, the Italian .po and list.txt are build product: 27,314 of the added
lines in this branch were regenerated catalogues rather than code, and a reviewer
running git diff --shortstat met that number before anything else. Restored to
the merge-base so their diff is zero; they regenerate from source with
scripts/run_gettext.sh whenever the maintainers want them refreshed.

The Romanian catalogue goes with them, for a different reason: it is a complete
new translation and deserves its own PR rather than riding along inside a CAD
feature, where nobody qualified to review it would think to look.

Nothing here changes what the Design tab does. The strings are still marked for
translation in the sources; only the generated catalogues are out.

Tommaso Bianchi 1a6252c88c Hole/Thread re-edit: restore the face latch from the feature, not from the last pick
m_hole_on_face and m_thread_on_face are cleared only by their tool's flyout and by
their plane combobox, so after any on-face hole or thread the flag stays true for
the rest of the session. load_feature_into_dialog restored the stored plane into
the dropdown but never touched the latch, so re-editing from the feature tree
ignored the plane it had just restored: hole_plane() returned the still-latched
face plane, which may belong to a different face, a different body, or a body
since rebuilt. Silent until snaporca-200 added the "On face" row, which then read
as a confidently wrong answer rather than as nothing.

The latch is now rebuilt from the stored feature, which is the only source that
describes THIS hole. Not from the dropdown row: index_from_plane snaps an
arbitrary face plane to the nearest XY/XZ/YZ, so driving the re-edit from the row
would MOVE a hole drilled on a slanted or offset face — that was the reason the
other candidate fix was rejected.

is_base_plane() decides which of the two a stored plane is. It compares the origin
as well as the axes (a plane parallel to XY but 12 mm up snaps to row 0 and would
come back at z=0), and adds modeling_origin before comparing, because hole_plane()
and thread_plane() add it to the dropdown plane before the feature stores it — a
document with a shifted origin would otherwise mistake every dropdown hole for a
face pick. Vector norms, not isApprox, which is relative to magnitude and useless
against the zero origin.

The face's (u,v) extent is not serialized, so m_hole_has_bounds is cleared: the
gizmo's footprint clamp goes unbounded, which is honest, where another face's
bounds are not. The label says which body the face belongs to instead of a face
number the feature does not carry; "(none — uses Hole plane)" is the one thing
that is definitely false there.

Tommaso Bianchi 6b3711fb08 Mate preview: hover a mate row and see the assembly move, commit nothing (G3)
refresh_preview() listed Tool::Mate among the features that produce no solid and
cleared the ghost, with a comment saying a mate has no 3D ghost. The kernel never
agreed: preview() routes a Mate candidate through apply_mate on a throwaway copy
of the bodies, and build_candidate already filled the mate fields. That one early
return was the whole of epic gap G3.

A mate makes no NEW geometry but it MOVES a body, and the moved assembly is the
ghost worth showing. Both the Mate card and the offer's mate palette now show it:
hovering a palette row previews that kind, leaving the row drops it, and choosing
one commits. Nothing is written to the document until the click.

The committed bodies are hidden while the ghost is up — it is the whole assembly
in its post-mate pose, not an added lump, so leaving them visible would draw the
mated body twice and z-fight every other body against its own copy. Same reason
Dressup and Draft hide them.

Cleanup is after PopupMenu rather than on a close event: PopupMenu is modal, so by
then the menu is gone and any command it raised has run. A flag distinguishes a
ghost this menu put up from a preview that was already on screen.

Tommaso Bianchi 8e15ad23e2 Mate palette: five types on the offer, dimmed with the reason, naming the pair
snaporca-lukg part B. The issue describes building a contextual viewport palette
with a stable icon set, non-viable options dimmed and explained rather than
hidden, and edge-aware placement. show_offer_menu() already does all three — its
dead-row branch appends a disabled row with "   —   " and a reason, and wxMenu
places itself against the screen edge. So this is not a new widget. It is one
section added to that menu, fed by mate_options().

The header row names the pair: "Mate: A → B". That is epic gap G4 — the mate card
is abstract dropdowns and never says which body moves. B is the connector on the
body that MOVES, so B is the arrow's destination; the parameter order invites the
opposite guess, which is why it is commented at the point of use.

Five rows in one loop over the kernel's result, never reordered and never
filtered. The palette addresses rows by position, so a shorter list would move
every row below it — which is the whole argument for dimming instead of hiding.

The pair comes from the Mate card's combos when that card is open, so the offer
and the card cannot disagree about what they are acting on; otherwise the first
two enabled connectors, which is defensible only because the header names them.
An offer acting on an unnamed pair would be worse than no offer.

REVIEW CATCH: the five type names arrived as an array indexed by kind, read as
_L(table[i]). That compiles and is silently untranslatable — _L is a gettext
macro and the extractor scans SOURCE for literals, so five strings would have
shipped that are never in the catalogue. These names appear nowhere else in the
tree, so that would have been their only occurrence. Now a switch of literal
_L() calls.

G3 INVESTIGATED, NOT BUILT, as specified. preview() DOES handle a Mate candidate:
it copies the committed bodies to a temporary and routes the candidate through
apply_mate on that copy, committing nothing, and build_candidate already fills
the mate fields. The only blocker to a hover preview is refresh_preview()'s
Tool::Mate early return, which clears the preview on the belief that a mate has
no ghost. Nothing in the kernel refuses it. Filed rather than built.

Tommaso Bianchi 6b3642fa53 Mate viability: which of the five apply, and why the others do not
snaporca-lukg wants a palette offering all five mate types with the non-viable
ones DIMMED AND EXPLAINED rather than hidden — its reasoning being that a menu
changing shape between invocations destroys the motor memory experts rely on.
That needs an answer this document could not give. This is that answer, and
nothing else: mate_options(cs_a, cs_b) returns five MateOption{kind, viable,
reason}, always five, always in kind order, never filtered.

The geometry test rides on the fingerprint added for snaporca-kqih, which is why
it costs no new serialized field: coordsys_face_kind already records the surface
type. Revolute and Cylindrical need a cylindrical face at both ends because they
need an axis to turn about; Planar needs flat faces; Fastened and Slider
constrain frames rather than surfaces, so no geometry test applies to them.

UNKNOWN IS PERMISSIVE. A fingerprint of -1 means PointWorld or a connector that
has not resolved yet, and it does NOT make a type non-viable. Refusing on missing
information is the false-alarm behaviour that gets a whole feature ignored — the
same reasoning already recorded on kqih for the drift warning, applied again
because it is the same trade.

Reasons name WHICH connector is the problem when only one is. "needs a
cylindrical face at both ends" tells the user what the rule is; "connector A is
on a flat face" tells them where to look, and the second half is the one that
saves the time.

The stability contract has its own test, asserting five entries in kind order
even for a completely invalid pair. That matters more than any individual
verdict: the palette addresses rows by position, so a shorter list would move
every row below it.

Tommaso Bianchi a3398c6609 MCP: let a caller find out its face/edge ids went stale
snaporca-rgbj measured the damage: four chamfers on a box remove
0.400/0.397/0.397/0.395 mm3 when each id is re-read, and
0.400/0.008/0.397/0.280 when the four ids are captured up front. The kernel is
right in both runs — the second one asks for the wrong edges. Neither errors,
because a stale id still resolves to a real edge, just not the one that was
measured.

That makes it an API problem rather than a script bug. Reading the scene once and
then issuing several operations is the natural way to drive a socket, it is what
every agent will write, and it produced silently wrong geometry with nothing
anywhere reporting it.

CadDocument::topo_generation is bumped where the bodies are replaced — the single
line in recompute() where the face and edge maps actually change, so a feature
type added later cannot forget to bump it, which a per-mutator counter would
invite. describe_scene and query_topology return it. A caller may pass it back as
"generation" on any call, and a mismatch is refused with a message that says what
to do about it.

Two deliberate choices:

OPTIONAL, not mandatory. Every existing script keeps working unchanged; passing
the generation is what buys the guarantee. Making it required would break every
caller to fix a mistake only some of them make.

CHECKED AT THE DISPATCHER, not in each handler. One site covers fillet, chamfer,
shell, draft, coordsys, thicken, cut, project, delete_face and everything added
after them. A per-handler check is a list that goes stale the first time someone
adds a method in a hurry.

Not serialized: an id means something only within the run that produced it, so
persisting the counter would promise a stability the ids themselves do not have.
No recipe version change.

describe_tools now carries an id_lifetime note, because the guard only helps a
caller who knows to ask for it.

itself is NOT exercised — it needs the socket, so it is on snaporca-bdco.

Tommaso Bianchi 9125e0b4f8 Connector face drift: warn without crying wolf — and bump the recipe version
kqih option (c). A FaceAndDirection connector stores a global face index, and an
upstream edit can renumber faces so the index silently names a different one. The
DANGLING case already threw; this is the in-range-but-wrong case, which nothing
detected.

Fingerprint the face on first resolve, compare afterwards, and report a mismatch
into mate_conflicts — the channel that already marks the tree row — never as an
error. A drift warning must not abort the recompute, because the alternative
makes a legitimate Draft on a mated face fatal.

WHAT THE FINGERPRINT IS, AND WHAT IT IS NOT. Surface type plus edge count. Not
centroid or area: legitimate parametric edits move and resize faces, which is the
entire point of the model, so either would fire on every dimension change. Not
the normal, which is the tempting one — Draft deliberately tilts a face and
Transform reorients a body, both legitimate. Type and edge count survive rigid
motion, tilting and resizing, and catch the case that actually happens: a planar
index sliding onto a fillet's cylindrical face after a dress-up inserts faces.
The accepted cost is that a slide between two planar 4-edge faces is invisible. A
partial detector that never cries wolf beats a total one that does, because a
false alarm on a valid connector teaches people to ignore the warning.

Connectors with no fingerprint record one on first recompute, so old recipes
self-heal and both writers (DesignPanel, McpControl) get it without changing.

THE VERSION BUMP IS THE IMPORTANT HALF. The task was specified with "do not
change the recipe version" — that was wrong, and the rule is written in the
header three lines above the constant: bump whenever save/load gains a field.
deserialize_recipe() gates on v == VERSION and then reads a FLAT symmetric field
list. A v3 blob under a v3 build that has grown two fields passes the gate and
reads two ints past the end of every connector, into the next feature's bytes.
That is silent corruption of a saved project, which is worse than any load error.
Now v4, and v3 gets the existing clean refusal.

cad_recipe_v3.bin is KEPT, unregenerated, with a test asserting it is refused and
that nothing half-read is left behind. It is the only artefact that can prove the
gate works, because it was written by an older build — regenerating it with
today's code would destroy the evidence, which the test says in as many words.

Tommaso Bianchi 13c702bed3 Chamfer drift is the driver's, not the kernel's — measured, not argued
Two tests that separate a hypothesis nobody had tested. The socket showed four
chamfers on a filleted rim removing 29.6 / 20.0 / 10.3 / 7.5 mm3, falling
steadily. That could be the chamfer maths degenerating on a filleted rim, or it
could be how the driver captured its edge ids. Those have completely different
fixes, so the first job was to find out which.

dressup_edge is a global index into TopExp::MapShapes(shape, TopAbs_EDGE),
resolved against the body AS IT STANDS at that feature's position, and every
dress-up rewrites that map. So the two usage patterns are:

  ids re-read after each chamfer:  0.400, 0.397, 0.397, 0.395 mm3  (max/min 1.01)
  four ids captured up-front:      0.400, 0.008, 0.397, 0.280 mm3  (max/min ~48)

The kernel chamfers uniformly when handed a fresh id. It degrades only when
handed ids snapshot against an earlier shape — and the second chamfer's stale id
landed on a nearly-consumed edge and cut two percent of what was asked. That is
the accumulating-drift signature the socket showed.

Conclusion: driver artefact. apply_chamfer and OCCT are not at fault.

The part that makes this worth a test rather than a note: IT DOES NOT THROW.
ok=1, error empty. A stale id still resolves to a valid edge — just the wrong
one — so nothing anywhere reports it. Silent wrong geometry, which is the class
this project does not tolerate, reachable by any caller that reads the scene once
and then issues several dress-ups.

Test 2 asserts the non-uniformity as CURRENT BEHAVIOUR and says so in the code:
it documents a defect, it does not bless one. When the driver contract is fixed
it should be rewritten, not deleted.

Tommaso Bianchi 488c94e957 SurfaceOffset and ThickenSurface: the arrow stands on a face, the tool still takes the sheet
These were the last tools from the charter audit with no handle at all, and the
issue filed against them offered three options, all of which changed the tool.
Reading on_add_surface_offset() dissolved the question instead.

The premise was that a distance handle needs a frame, a sheet body has no single
normal, and therefore the tool must start demanding a face. But the face was
never needed for the OPERATION — only for the ARROW. Both tools still offset or
thicken the entire sheet named in the combo. The picked face only says where to
stand the handle.

So the arrow appears whenever a face of that sheet is under selection, and its
absence costs nothing: the card alone works exactly as before. Purely additive —
no existing flow changes, and there is no new precondition for the user to learn.
That is strictly better than any of (a) anchor on the first face and be wrong on
a curved sheet, (b) sample a normal at the bbox centre and be arbitrary on a
folded one, or (c) require a face pick and change what the tool demands.

The arrow is refused when the picked face belongs to a DIFFERENT body than the
sheet in the combo. An arrow standing on one body while the tool acts on another
would name the wrong thing, which is worse than no arrow.

ThickenSurface was not on the audit's list — it is a distinct tool from Thicken,
with its own card and its own sheet-body combo, and it has exactly the same
shape. Fixing one and not the other would have left the same gap under a
different name.

Tommaso Bianchi 416e7f7321 Mate conflicts: mark the row that carries them, and name the way out
detect_mate_conflicts() has been filling m_doc.mate_conflicts on every recompute
since the kernel half landed, and nothing read it. The diagnostics existed and
were invisible — a conflicting assembly looked exactly like a working one.

The tree row is where they go, because the tree is where the user is already
looking for which feature to change. Three states, in precedence order:

  disabled  -> dim. A SUPPRESSED mate is the user's answer to a conflict, so it
               must read as suppressed rather than keep shouting about it.
  conflict  -> warn.
  otherwise -> normal.

Selecting a marked row puts the reason on the status line — "Mate3 already
positions Body 2", the cycle, the self-mate — and names the eye as the way to
suppress it. A message that describes a problem with no action is a message that
gets ignored; the action here is already one click away on the row just selected.

Deliberately NOT a modal, and deliberately not treated as a document error. The
document still evaluates with a conflict present: the mate graph merely has more
than one answer for a body, and which one wins is the thing the user needs to
see. Blocking the loop to say so would interrupt without helping.

The dimming of non-involved bodies from the original UX proposal is still not
implemented, on purpose: under transform composition a failure mid-chain
propagates, so "not involved" is not a well-defined set, and dimming the wrong

Tommaso Bianchi 7311cb12cb Body-focus picking: fail open, and keep the combo and the viewport as one state
Two defects found by auditing the body-focus x-ray path, which shipped compiled
but never exercised. Neither is reachable from the happy path its test plan
walks, which is why compiling it proved nothing.

1. A STALE FOCUS KILLED THE VIEWPORT. The focus is a body INDEX held by the panel
   across recomputes, so it outlives the body it names: delete a body and the
   stored index can point past the end. body_pickable() then rejected EVERY body,
   because none of them equals an index that no longer exists — a viewport that
   silently accepts no clicks at all, with nothing on screen saying why. Out of
   range now means no restriction. Fail open, never dead.

2. THE COMBO AND THE FOCUS COULD DISAGREE. refresh_cs_body_choice() rebuilds the
   Body combo and, when the body list shrank, silently reset the selection to
   "(all)" — while the viewport stayed focused on the old index. Every other body
   kept its 25% alpha and picking stayed restricted to a body that might be gone.
   That is the exact mirror of the open_tool ordering bug this feature already
   fixed once: that one showed "Body N" over an opaque scene, this one shows
   "(all)" over a dimmed one. They are one state and are now written together.

   Guarded on CoordSys being the active tool, since it is the only card that owns
   this focus. In the edit path the function runs BEFORE open_tool with the
   previous tool still active, so the guard is false and the caller's explicit
   set_xray_focus still wins.

Also confirmed while reading, since the header asserts it: set_solid_pick() does
NOT touch m_pick_only_body, so the focus really does survive the mesh feed. That
claim now has a check behind it rather than a comment.

Tommaso Bianchi 23585382ab Mate connector: a roll mark that survives a grazing view, and a quieter warning
Two open findings from the first rig judgement of the connector glyph.

F4 — the quadrant collapses to a blob at grazing angles, which is exactly when
the roll is hardest to read. Adds a radial tick along +X extending past the disc
rim. As the disc flattens to a line the sector loses all its area, but a radial
spoke keeps its length and its direction along the one axis that still projects.

The alternative on the issue was to billboard the quadrant while the disc stayed
in-plane. Rejected, and not on taste: at true grazing the view direction lies IN
the connector's plane, so every in-plane direction projects onto the same screen
line and the roll is geometrically unrecoverable. Billboarding would not recover
it — it would face the camera and read as a definite orientation that is not the
frame's. Degrading to a direction that can still be trusted beats drawing a
confident lie. The tick is additive, so unlike billboarding it cannot make the
non-grazing case worse; it still wants judging on the rig at a true grazing view
before F4 is called closed.

F5 — roll-undefined was a loud red: the strongest colour in the viewport spent on
the least important connector, pulling the eye off the mate being made. It marks
"this one could not be derived", not an error. Muted amber says look-here without
shouting.

No tick is drawn when the roll is undefined — a tick there would assert a
direction that does not exist, which is the silent guess the hatched quadrant
exists to avoid.

Tommaso Bianchi e6a14b39c9 Rib: the thickness gets its handle, so the whole tool is draggable
Rib's depth already reused the Extrude arrow. Its thickness could not: the arrow
points along the plane normal, and thickness is an offset either side of the rib
line, IN the plane. Different direction, different handle.

Two square handles at mid ± perp·half, plus the slab's actual footprint drawn as
a thin closed rectangle — the footprint matters more than the dots, because what
a rib thickness means is how wide that slab lands on the body, and until now
there was no way to see it before committing.

A drag on either handle sets the FULL thickness, twice the perpendicular distance
from the line, because the slab is centred on the line and the handle sits at
half. Both handles behave identically for the same reason, so they share one
colour rather than pretending to be two different actions.

A zero-length line has no direction to grow a slab perpendicular to, so the
shared rib_frame() helper returns false and render and drag both draw nothing
rather than dividing by zero. Non-Line entities clear the gizmo instead of
guessing: the kernel is line-only and a gizmo that guesses would be lying about
what Confirm will build.

Unlike the helix callback this one goes through refresh_preview(), because Rib
builds a real solid ghost that has to rebuild. The helix has none and skips it
deliberately.

Both gizmos coexist and resolve the sketch and entity the same way, so the depth
arrow and the thickness handles can never disagree about which line they are on.

Tommaso Bianchi b9d6b59f90 A feature that destroys a body must say so, not ship a phantom
Driving the control socket: hexagon prism, six vertical fillets, four chamfers
on the already-filleted rim, an M8 hole. Afterwards describe_scene reported
bodies=3 and error='' — entirely healthy — while body 2's TopoDS_Shape was null.
Only mass_properties on that one body revealed anything was wrong.

So a feature destroyed a body, recompute() returned true, and the document went
on advertising it. Any downstream consumer — slicing, STEP export, a mass
properties report — met a null shape with no warning. That is the silent
corruption class, which is the one class this project does not tolerate.

recompute() now scans the freshly built bodies for a null shape, names the body
and the feature that destroyed it, and returns false. Returning false rather than
just setting error is the point: it hands the caller its normal rollback path, so
the operation that destroyed the body is undone instead of committed.

The message says "an unidentified feature" when source_feature is -1. "feature 0"
would be a lie, and a message that exists to tell you where to look has to be
trusted.

TEST IS A POSITIVE CONTRACT, AND THE REASON MATTERS. The reported order was
driven headlessly first, as the better test: it does NOT reproduce. The dress-up
step throws "fillet radius too large", which is an already-loud already-caught
path, so recompute fails honestly and never nulls a body. No public-API sequence
found so far reaches the guard's branch without a GUI, and faking a null into
`bodies` after the fact would not exercise it — the guard runs on `built`, before
the swap. So the test asserts what can be asserted: a box + fillet recomputes
true, error is empty, and no body is null. The guard's own branch is defensive
and currently unexercised; that is stated here rather than implied by a green
suite.

Kernel suite: 2217 assertions in 161 test cases, all passing. No existing test
relied on a null body surviving a recompute, so hardening this broke nothing.

snaporca-5425 (part a). Part b — why the chamfer chain degenerates on an
already-filleted rim — is untouched and stays open.

Tommaso Bianchi e8306a6e9a Helix: draw the thing, then let the numbers be dragged
grep -i helix over the viewport code returned nothing at all. The tool was four
coupled numbers and a Confirm button — you typed radius, pitch, height and taper
blind and pressed OK to find out what you had made. So this is not only the
charter's L2 failure; the tool had no visible state whatsoever while it was open.

Adds a plane-anchored helix gizmo built on the datum-plane gizmo as its template,
being the closest existing thing: also plane-anchored, also driven by a card while
the sketch tool is inactive, also a render / hit-test / drag triad.

It draws the live curve and the axis, and puts a handle on each of the three
lengths: radius on the base circle, height at the top of the axis, pitch at the
end of the first turn — which is exactly where one pitch of rise lands, so the
handle means what it is standing on. Below one full turn the pitch handle moves
to the end of the curve rather than floating off a curve that does not exist yet.

Taper and handedness stay on the card. One is a shape modifier and the other a
flag; L2 governs numbers you can point at.

A drag reports the whole (radius, pitch, height) triple rather than one value,
because pitch and height are coupled through the turn count and writing one alone
would redraw a stale curve. The callback re-feeds the gizmo directly instead of
going through refresh_preview(), since Helix takes the produces-no-solid early
return and refresh_preview would rewrite the status line on every mouse move.

REVIEW CATCH, fixed here: the first cut read taper as a fraction of the radius
consumed over the turn count. It is an ANGLE IN DEGREES — helix_spine() builds a
Geom_ConicalSurface of half-angle taper and takes the top radius as R+H*tan(taper),
growing with the height risen. The wrong reading drew a preview that collapsed to
a point for any non-zero taper while the committed feature was perfectly fine. A
preview that lies is worse than no preview, which is what this commit replaced.

Tommaso Bianchi a5bb41e340 Rib: the depth is the same arrow again
Rib's depth is a distance along the sketch plane normal, so it is the Extrude
arrow for the fourth time — anchored at the midpoint of the line the rib is
built on, because a rib's line IS its profile.

This is half of Rib's L2 failure. The thickness is an in-plane offset either
side of that line and no existing gizmo draws that; it needs a handle that does
not exist yet, filed as snaporca-plew rather than left implied. One of two
numbers draggable is strictly better than neither, and saying which half is
missing is the point.

Tommaso Bianchi 4ed14eb0be SurfaceExtrude and Thicken: drag the distance instead of only typing it
Both tools produce exactly one number — a distance along a known normal — and
neither had a handle for it. That is the same shape as the Extrude depth arrow,
which was already written, already draggable and already had an editable label
on the geometry. So this adds no gizmo: it points the existing one at two more
tools.

SurfaceExtrude anchors on its sketch's plane, at the profile centroid.
Thicken anchors on the picked face, and reuses the face-as-profile recipe from
the Extrude path verbatim — including the two things that path learned the hard
way: look the face up on its OWNER body rather than the whole-document compound,
and carry that body's display Move transform onto both the origin and the
normal, or the arrow draws on the bed instead of on the face.

The drag callback routes by active tool. `second` stays Extrude's alone: it is
the two-sided pair, and the other two have a single distance each.

SurfaceOffset is the third tool in this group and is deliberately NOT here. Its
target is an arbitrary sheet body, which has no single normal to anchor an arrow
on — that is a design decision, not typing, and it stays on the audit.

Tommaso Bianchi b7397b48bd Transform: drag the body, the numbers follow
The Placement > Transform verb opened a card of spin controls — dx/dy/dz, an
axis combo, an angle — with nothing on the geometry. The 3-axis drag gizmo the
charter asks for already existed and was fully implemented (arrows, rotation
rings, click-to-type per axis), reachable only from a small icon button in the
tree card header. The prominent verb opened the form; the geometry-first
control was hidden behind an icon. That was backwards.

Transform now arms that same gizmo on the target body. The card stays as L2's
typed half: the drag writes dx/dy/dz, the axis and the angle, and the pivot is
seeded from the body's centroid so the parametric feature reproduces exactly
what was dragged.

Decomposition is exact for the interaction that matters — the gizmo's rings are
per-world-axis, so a ring drag is an axial rotation. A pose composed from two
rings is not axial and the card can only name one axis, so it reports the
dominant one rather than refusing to answer.

Three things this had to get right:

- The gizmo bakes its drag into the display transform so the body follows the
  cursor, and the feature performs the same motion parametrically. Committing
  without reverting first would move the body twice.
- tool_confirm() and tool_cancel() both tested moving_body() BEFORE the active
  tool, so with the gizmo armed Confirm would have dropped the gizmo and never
  created the feature. Both are now guarded on Tool::None.
- close_tool() is the single revert point. Esc, Cancel and switching tools all
  pass through it, so a Transform that was never committed cannot leave the body
  displaced.

Edit mode is untouched: re-seeding the gizmo from a stored feature is a separate
problem, so editing an existing Transform still gets the card alone.

Tommaso Bianchi 3f62d4d58d Bodies: colour that survives selection, hide that toggles twice, Delete that acts
Three defects behind one report ("bodies cannot be moved or hidden/shown or
deleted, colour does not work"). They are unrelated to each other; only the
symptom was shared.

1. The Color tool wrote a per-body override that was correct end to end —
   stored on CadBody, carried across recompute (CadDocument.cpp:3381), read
   back by DesignCanvas::body_color() — and then overpainted every frame.
   m_body_selected is a DOCUMENT-WIDE flag raised whenever a non-Sketch
   feature row is selected, which is the resting state after any modelling
   operation, and while it was true every body rendered gold. An explicit
   colour now outranks the selection tint; unpainted bodies still tint, which
   is all the tint was ever for.

2. The eye toggle re-selected the body row through m_tree, using item ids that
   belong to m_parts. The row came back unselected, so the second press found
   tree_body_selection() == -1 and fell through to the feature-level branch
   instead of un-hiding. Hide worked exactly once. The sibling call in
   refresh_parts() had it right.

3. The tree card's Delete button answered a selected body row with "select the
   FEATURE that created this body" — an instruction the user cannot act on,
   because the tree does not say which feature that is. on_delete_body()
   already resolves CadBody::source_feature and confirms by name; it was
   reachable only from the right-click offer. The button now routes to it.

Tommaso BianchiandClaude Opus 5 606026a920 Home: axonometric view, fitted
DesignCanvas::set_view() and fit_view() were both written and then never called
from anywhere in the tree. The Design viewport has had no way back to a standard
view since it existed: no key, no button, nothing but orbiting by hand until the
model happens to drift into frame.

That is worse than a missing convenience. A camera left pointing along the bed
plane renders a scene that looks exactly like a failed renderer — geometry
present, nothing visible — and an hour went into blaming the software GL stack
before the real cause turned out to be two uncalled functions.

Home rather than a letter: every letter A-Z is already a Shift+letter tool
shortcut. Home is also the reset-the-view key most users arrive with. The
dispatcher needed no change, it keys on the raw wx keycode. set_view() already
does select_view + zoom_to_volumes, so this is fit and orient in one call.

Tommaso BianchiandClaude Opus 5 d584d66003 Mate conflicts: name what silently wins, don't call it over-constraint
Two enabled mates driving the same body is not an error today — the later one
just wins, and the earlier mate looks ignored with nothing said. A cycle in the
mate graph is worse: composition still produces a result, but an arbitrary,
order-dependent one.

recompute() now fills a mate_conflicts vector of (feature index, reason) before
the geometry pass, so it survives a throw further down. It catches a second mate
on the same target body, a mate positioning a body against itself, and a cycle,
via an iterative three-colour DFS over the body graph. Broken mates are skipped
silently — apply_mate() already errors on those.

Deliberately non-fatal: recompute() still returns true and error stays empty.
Deliberately not "over-constraint" — that word promises DOF analysis from a
solver this kernel does not have.

Tommaso BianchiandClaude Opus 5 3eec65f2bd CoordSys: pick a body first, x-ray the rest
In an assembly the face you want for a mate connector is nearly always behind
another body, and a click only ever returns the frontmost hit. Hiding the
occluder from the Parts list works but means leaving the tool mid-pick.

The CoordSys card now carries a Body chooser. Pick a body and every other one
drops to 0.25 alpha AND stops catching clicks, so the wanted face is both
visible and reachable in one gesture. "(all)" restores normal picking.

Deliberately NOT hit cycling: repeated-click cycling was removed from solid
picking as a charter L5/§10 violation (DesignSketchTool.cpp, "NO CYCLE"), and
re-introducing it here would make "click a face" a multi-click gesture again.

Mechanics: DesignSketchTool::set_pick_only_body() gates body_pickable(), which
every pick path already consults; DesignCanvas::set_xray_focus() drives both it
and the per-body alpha in reload(). The chooser stays a pick FILTER only --
coordsys_body still comes from the actual pick, so nothing in the kernel moves.

Body focus follows the CoordSys card: open_tool() reads it back from the combo
rather than clearing outright, because editing a CoordSys feature loads the card
(and its body) before open_tool runs.

Tommaso BianchiandClaude Opus 5 8ff7ba440d CadDocument: reindex mate connectors on feature delete and reorder
mate_cs_a/mate_cs_b are feature indices. remove_feature() remapped sketch_ref
through the deletion but not the mate connectors, and move_feature() swapped
sketch_ref but not the mate connectors. Deleting or reordering any feature
ahead of a connector slid both references onto whatever features landed on
those slots.

Nothing reported it. recompute() only rejects out-of-range and non-CoordSys
targets, and a shifted index normally lands on the assembly's other CoordSys —
an assembly carries at least two by construction. So the mate resolved against
the wrong frames and moved the wrong body, silently.

Extracted a remap lambda in remove_feature() and a swap_ref lambda in
move_feature(), applied to sketch_ref and both mate connectors.

Two tests, both confirmed red before the fix. [mate] tags green here:
395 assertions / 29 cases — the first end-to-end kernel compile of this fork.

Tommaso Bianchi 0a2faedc32 Design: draw the mate connector, so its verse and polarity are visible
A mate connector was visible only to a program. resolve_datum_coordsys had exactly ONE consumer
in the whole tree -- McpControl.cpp, the agent socket -- so the frame every mate is built on
could not be seen at all, and the two questions a connector has to answer on sight had no
answer in the viewport: which way does Z point (the VERSE), and which of the pair is anchored
versus about to move (the POLARITY).

The glyph is Onshape's proven core plus the part nobody ships. Disc for the XY plane, one gold
quadrant for the roll -- the only in-glyph answer to "where is X", which matters because
Fastened and Slider lock the clocking -- and a Z arrow drawn on +Z ONLY, never double-headed.
Polarity is carried by the head: a filled cone travels, an open collar receives. Onshape,
Fusion, Inventor and FreeCAD all draw both ends of a mate identically, which is why "which part
moves?" is a standing complaint; nothing here invents new semantics, it just stops hiding them.

Polarity is read from the committed Mate features, not only from the open card. A connector some
mate drives must read as driven whenever it is on screen, or the glyph tells the truth only while
a dialog happens to be open. The card, when open, still wins -- that is the live intent.

Judged on the rig rather than in a mock, which changed three decisions:

- Three RGB axis arms lose to one Z arrow. Rendered side by side (SNAPORCA_GLYPH=A selects the
  Onshape-style trio), the three heads are as large as the 22 px disc, they bury the quadrant, and
  at an oblique angle they pile into a smudge -- and the trio is indistinguishable from the move
  gizmo and the bed triad, which are already RGB arrow trios in this viewport.

- Depth off floats, depth on tears. With GL_DEPTH_TEST off, connectors on faces pointing AWAY from
  the camera drew their discs over the solid, so the part looked covered in frames that were on its
  back. Turning depth on fixed that and immediately z-fought: the disc is exactly coplanar with its
  face and came out a broken dotted arc. Depth ON plus a 0.7*upp lift along Z buys both, and scaling
  the lift by upp keeps it sub-pixel instead of opening a visible gap on zoom-in.

- Foreshortening degenerates an arrow into a dot when the axis points at the camera. It now draws a
  ring instead of silently vanishing, which is what a naive projection does.

Everything is sized in screen pixels via upp = 1/zoom, like every other gizmo here: a connector is
a symbol, not a part, so it must not shrink with the model.

Research and the empirical findings are written up in DESIGN_MATE_CONNECTORS.md section 8b;
rig images in artifacts/shots/g-0*.png, vendor reference glyphs in artifacts/glyphs/.

Not fixed here, and recorded rather than papered over: the quadrant collapses to a blob at a
grazing angle, which is exactly when the roll is hardest to read (F4); roll-undefined in red makes
the least important connector the loudest thing on screen (F5); and a true grazing view, a curved
face, and overlap with the move gizmo are still untested. Also surfaced while testing and unrelated
to drawing: add_mate accepted a mate between two connectors on the SAME body and duly transformed
the body relative to itself -- a concrete instance of the missing validation already filed as G6.

Tommaso Bianchi 24f4076bb5 Design: the Hole and Thread cards say which face they are holding
snaporca-200 asked which of the two models of "the card's face input" is right,
because clicking empty canvas now clears the selection (snaporca-od0) and made
them visibly disagree: Thicken / Shell / Draft read the LIVE selection and their
label reverts to "(pick a solid face)", while Hole / Thread LATCH the face they
were opened or picked on and keep it. The complaint was that Hole then drills a
face you can no longer see selected.

Taken to the rig, that turns out to be the wrong half of the story. With Hole
open and its face picked, a click on empty canvas leaves the Ø6.0 ghost and its
dimension gizmo drawn on that exact face — the card was never operating in
secret, it was showing its target the strongest way a CAD tool can. Meanwhile
Draft, whose behaviour was held up as the honest one, threw the pick away and
had to be told the face again.

So neither model replaces the other. They are different in kind: Thicken /
Shell / Draft are operations whose operand IS the selected face, and Hole /
Thread are placement tools with their own plane state that a pick merely seeds.
The latch is also the kinder of the two now that empty clicks are a deliberate
gesture — a stray one costs Thicken a pick and costs Hole nothing.

What was genuinely missing is that nothing in those two cards NAMED the latched
face, so after such a click the only words on screen were the viewport's
"Nothing selected" over a ghost about to drill. Both cards now carry an "On
face" row, the way the other three already do:

  Hole    Face 5 | (none — uses Hole plane)
  Thread  Face 1 | Edge 2 | (none — uses Thread plane)

Thread names an edge when the cylinder came from a circular rim rather than a
cylindrical face, which the code already distinguished internally and never
said out loud.

Verified on both rigs, every state driven through the GUI: face pick on open
and on live pick, survival across a click on empty canvas, and the fallback
after choosing XY/XZ/YZ from the plane dropdown. Thread's edge branch was
exercised on a revolved tube's rim, its face branch on the same tube's outer
wall.

Filed while here, surfaced by the new row rather than caused by it —
snaporca-uif9: re-editing a stored Hole/Thread from the feature tree restores
f.plane into the dropdown but never clears m_hole_on_face, so the re-edit
silently reuses the PREVIOUS card's latched face. Now visible by name instead
of invisible.

Tommaso Bianchi 93395b7888 Design: escalate on the entity that was picked, and let the chip follow the window
Both found by Kimi reviewing the previous two commits, both then reproduced here
before being touched.

snaporca-97z. The re-pick escalation required m_solid_sel, m_sel_body, m_sel_face AND
m_sel_edge to all match the previous pick. That looked stricter and was wrong: the
edge branch sets only m_sel_edge and m_solid_sel, leaving m_sel_face as whichever face
the ray happened to enter through — and a shared edge is entered through a different
face depending on which side you view it from. So picking an edge and picking that
same edge again from the other side compared equal edges, unequal faces, and refused
the escalation the status line had just promised. Now the comparison is made at the
level that was picked and nothing else. The edge id is already the stable global one
from edge_index_of, so it identifies the edge without help from the face.

Reproduced on the rig without needing to orbit, since two clicks 8px apart across an
edge enter through different faces:

  pick -> sel=3 body=0 face=5 edge=3
  ray  -> body=0 face=0
  re-pick -> escalated to whole body 0
  pick -> sel=1 body=0 face=-1 edge=-1

Same edge, face 5 then face 0, escalation fires. The old condition could not.

The frame-move case. The chip is anchored at an absolute screen position, and until now
nothing told it the window had moved — only a resize, a status change or a tab switch
re-placed it. Dragging the window by its title bar left it stranded where it was,
verified on the rig by moving the frame and watching it stay put. wxEVT_MOVE on the
top-level frame, alongside the ICONIZE and ACTIVATE binds from the previous commit.

Two related cases are filed rather than bound, because the list of window-geometry
events to chase is exactly what snaporca-lcq argues should stop: a layout change that
translates the canvas without resizing it, and wxEVT_DPI_CHANGED.

Not fixed, deliberately, and recorded on snaporca-97z: clicking the same FACE but
landing within the vertex or edge tolerance resolves to a different kind and so does
not escalate — that is the "smallest thing under the cursor" rule working as
documented; and a vertex re-pick after moving the body compares stale world
coordinates.

Verified on both rigs. The cross-face edge case was exercised on orca_cad;
DesignSketchTool.cpp is byte-identical across the forks, so snaporca inherits it, and
its face-level escalation and empty-click clear were re-checked there directly.

Fork parity unchanged: DesignSketchTool.cpp 0, DesignCanvas.cpp 16.

Tommaso Bianchi 6d1a4078ca Design: the status chip goes away with the window, not just with the page
Found by minimising the app on the rig with a face selected: the whole screen goes
black and the chip is still drawn on the bare desktop. A wxPopupWindow is
override-redirect — the window manager does not own it — so it neither iconises with
its frame nor stacks behind other applications. IsShownOnScreen does not catch this
either: an iconised frame still counts as shown, which is why the guard added for the
tab case sails straight past it.

So the frame has to say so itself: ICONIZE and ACTIVATE, both routed through the same
show_status_hud the page change already uses. Restoring is safe — a popup cannot take
focus, so our own Show() cannot re-trigger either event — and restoring while some
other page is up still leaves the chip down, because show_status_hud(true) goes
through place_status_hud's IsShownOnScreen guard.

Verified on both rigs: chip up, minimise -> screen black and empty, restore -> chip
back with its text and the face still selected. Restore while on Prepare -> chip stays
down.

This is the fourth defect from the same root, so snaporca-lcq now asks the question
these binds keep deferring: whether the line should be canvas content, like the view
cube and the round view buttons, rather than a window that has to be told about every
way a window can stop being visible.

Fork parity unchanged: DesignCanvas.cpp 16.

Tommaso Bianchi 9c3ce9b45e Design: clicking empty space lets go of the selection, and the status line follows its tab
Two things a click on nothing should already have done.

snaporca-od0. A click that hit no geometry left the solid selection standing. A
rubber band swept over empty space has always cleared it (pick_bodies_in_rectangle),
and the two gestures cannot disagree about the same outcome. The visible cost was in
the escalation that landed last commit: "click the face, click away, click the face
again" arrived as the SECOND click on the same face and took the whole body, when the
click away was the user letting go of it. Now the miss clears and says so.

This gives up something real, deliberately: Thicken / Shell / Draft hold their input
face in the panel's selection, so a stray click on empty canvas with one of those
cards open hands that face back. Their handlers already write the "(pick a solid
face)" placeholder and rebuild the ghost when the selection empties, so the card SAYS
it lost the pick rather than confirming against a face the viewport has stopped
highlighting. An orbit drag never reaches this branch — it exits at the 8px budget —
so panning the view still does not deselect.

snaporca-dlj. The status line is a wxPopupWindow, which is a TOP-LEVEL window: hiding
the Design page does not hide it. Select a face, switch to Prepare, and the chip was
still there reading "selected (whole body) — right-click for what applies to it" on a
tab with no such selection and no such menu. Same cause, second symptom: a status
update arriving while the page is hidden anchored against a client size that is not
the size the page will have, and parked the chip on the tab bar. So: an
IsShownOnScreen guard in place_status_hud, show_status_hud(bool) to take it down and
bring it back with its text intact, driven from the page-changed handler.

Verified on both rigs, not by reasoning about it: face 5 selected -> click bed ->
"Nothing selected", tint gone -> click the same face -> face 5 again, NOT the body ->
click it again with no click away -> whole body, so snaporca-gem is intact. Prepare ->
chip gone; back to Design -> chip returns. KEYTRACE across the round trip shows
shift+S then R still reaching the canvas (ui_mode 0 -> 1, Rectangle armed), which is
the focus theft this popup replaced a wxFrame to avoid.

Fork parity unchanged: DesignPanel.cpp 30, DesignCanvas.cpp 16, headers and
DesignSketchTool.cpp 0. MainFrame.cpp is outside that set and was edited per fork.
2026-08-03 11:05:45 +02:00
Tommaso Bianchi c32aa3f8ba Design: clicking the same face twice takes the body, and the status line moves onto the viewport
A click could point at a face, an edge or a vertex, but never at the body those
belong to: offer_selection_kind() can only return BodySolid when all three are
clear, which a viewport click never produces. The rubber band was the only door,
and the status line said "face 5 selected" while the user believed they had taken
the body. A second click on the SAME sub-element now escalates to it (snaporca-gem).

Not the pick cycle that was removed in bc2b741ce9 -- that one was silent and three
deep, so no click had a predictable meaning. Here the status line names the next
click before you make it, and a further click just takes the face under the cursor
again, which needs no teaching. Double-click is untouched: wx sends Down/Up/DClick/Up
and only the first Up carries a pending press, so a fast double-click still zooms to
fit and picks once.

The status line itself moved to the base of the viewport. In the side panel it was
clipped at ~73 characters with no warning and no wrap -- set_status()'s Wrap() never
took effect (snaporca-8cc) -- which silently length-limited every hint in the tab; the
first version of this change lost a clause to it. m_status is kept, hidden, as the
owner of the text and its colour, and the line is drawn in a bottom-left twin of the
readout HUD where there is a whole window's width.

Three defects found driving it on the rig, none of which the build could see:

  * the HUD as a wxFrame took the WM's keyboard focus every time it was raised, and
    the canvas then received NO key events -- every sketch shortcut silently dead.
    Caught with SNAPORCA_KEYTRACE: shift+S logged a line, the following R logged
    nothing. It is a wxPopupWindow now, which cannot be focused. SetFocus() on the
    canvas does not fix it: focus was on another toplevel.
  * zero vertical padding fits the popup tighter than the font's line box and clips
    the glyphs; 6 (what the readout uses) reads as a two-line box. 3 is right.
  * "has a caller chosen a colour?" compared the label's foreground against its
    PARENT's, which differ by default, so every line counted as chosen and the
    neutral text came out the panel's dark grey -- invisible on a dark chip. Compare
    against the colour the label was created with, captured before any caller writes.

Verified on both rigs against fresh binaries: sketch -> extrude -> click face ->
click again -> whole body tinted, offer opens with the body rows live and Create /
Add material correctly greyed. Keyboard drives the whole sequence.

Filed and NOT fixed here: snaporca-od0 -- a bare-plate click does not deselect the
solid, so "click away, click back" escalates. Pre-existing; clearing there would also
drop the face the Thicken/Shell/Draft cards hold, which needs its own pass.

Tommaso Bianchi 7e5994b8cb Design: right-click a body row opens the offer, and taking a body always means the same thing
The third door onto the offer, after the viewport right-click and the Menu key. A body ROW is
an unambiguous body, so the offer reports BodySolid and the body verbs act on the row you can
see highlighted — the confirmation a face pick cannot give, since pointing at a face lights the
face and never the body the verb will change. The status line has been promising exactly this
("Body N selected — right-click for what applies to it") since before any handler existed on
that list; the product was advertising a gesture that did nothing.

WHAT THE RIG CAUGHT THAT THE BUILD DID NOT. The first version hung the state normalisation off
wxEVT_TREE_SEL_CHANGED. But SelectItem() on a row that is ALREADY selected fires no selection
event, so a stale vertex from an earlier viewport pick survived — and offer_selection_kind()
tests vertex FIRST, so right-clicking the body row served the VERTEX offer while the row sat
highlighted: Fillet/chamfer/draft greyed, Mirror standing where Repeat belongs, "vertex
selected" still in the status line and the cyan marker still on screen. The happy path (fresh
row, nothing else picked) looked perfect, which is why only the deliberate stale-state sequence
exposed it. Reading the code would not have shown it — SelectItem looks like it selects.

So the normalisation is no longer a selection handler. apply_body_row() is called
UNCONDITIONALLY by both doors, because taking a body from the list means the same state change
however it was asked for. It also clears m_sel_solid_vertex, which the original handler never
did — latent while nothing opened the offer from that list, and immediately fatal once
something did.

Verified on both rigs with the failing sequence itself: pick a vertex, then right-click the
already-selected row. Fillet/chamfer/draft enabled, Repeat back in place, status reads "Body 1
selected", vertex marker gone.

Does NOT touch the feature tree. That needs new selection kinds (offer_selection_kind has no
notion of "a feature is selected") plus verbs the atlas does not contain — Suppress, Rename,
Reorder, Roll back — and is filed separately.
2026-08-02 10:31:21 +02:00
Tommaso Bianchi 6c59898ac0 Design: pointing at part of a body is pointing at the body
Tommaso: "i deleted a body using rubber band selection, but this is not intuitive as all
the ux revolves around clicking". Correct on both counts, and a correction to what I said
last round: the rubber band IS implemented and shipping (pick_bodies_in_rectangle, m_rubber,
the drag branch in on_mouse). What is unbound is whole-body picking via CLICK; I read the
comment about the click path and wrongly generalised it to the gesture as a whole.

The handlers were never the problem either. Move, Mirror, Cut, Mass and Colour all resolve
their target through selected_body_default() / m_sel_solid_body, and that is already set when
you click a FACE — level >= 1 records the body. They would have worked from a click all
along. The only thing keeping them out was the atlas gate: accepts listed body_solid and no
face kind, so offer_selection_kind() returning FacePlanar filtered the rows away. This is
therefore an atlas-only change, no handler edits.

Cut, Split, Mirror, Transform, Mass and Colour now accept face/edge/vertex as well, matching
what Delete Body already did. Edges and vertices are included deliberately, not just faces: a
click resolves to a vertex, an edge or a face depending on where inside the pixel it lands,
so accepting only faces would make Move vanish whenever you clicked near a corner — a flicker
that reads as a bug and gets reported as "sometimes it works".

NOT widened: Extrude on a face means push/pull THAT face, and Thicken consumes the face you
point at. Both have genuine face-specific meaning, so widening them would change what they
do rather than where they can be reached from.

The rubber band keeps its job — it is still the only way to take a body without also naming
one of its faces. It just stops being the only door.

Verified on both rigs from a plain face click: Transform > Move opens with Body = Extrude2
(resolved from the face pick), Modify > Edit / Delete Face / Colour / Delete Body, and
Reference > Mass.

Tommaso Bianchi b2654ebd8a Design: a body knows what made it, so "Delete Body" can exist
Reported by Tommaso: select a body, and there is no Delete in the offer. Two independent
faults stacked behind that.

FIRST, clicking a body never selects the body. Whole-body picking is deliberately unbound
(DesignSketchTool.cpp) pending the rubber band, so a viewport click only ever yields
Face/Edge/Vertex. The offer therefore saw face_planar, and "delete" accepted body_solid but
no face kind, so the row was filtered out entirely — while the status line read "Body 1
face 0 selected", which actively teaches the wrong model.

SECOND, even selecting the body from the Bodies list, Delete refused in red: "Select the
FEATURE that created this body". CadBody had no link back to its maker, so the offer was
advertising a verb it could not perform — worse than the action:null rows fixed earlier this
session, because this one is ENABLED and its refusal reads like user error.

CadBody::source_feature fixes the second. It is stamped in ONE place, the recompute loop,
and the rule is just "still unset?". That is sufficient because of an invariant worth
stating: no feature ever replaces a whole CadBody. Every in-place op writes only .shape
(boolean, cut, mirror-fuse, transform, dress-up — all 8 sites checked), so a body keeps the
stamp it was born with; a consumed body is erased outright, taking its stamp with it; and
the only bodies still at -1 are the ones the current feature just pushed. A feature type
added later needs no change here as long as it keeps to that invariant.

"Delete Body" fixes the first, sitting beside "Delete Face" in Modify and reachable by
pointing at any face/edge/vertex. The two names cannot be confused, and "delete" gave up the
body kinds so both can never appear for one selection. Deleting a body removes the feature
that made it, which is a real edit to the recipe, so it asks first and NAMES the feature — a
body vanishing from the viewport is not evidence of which feature went, and this is the one
action here that cannot be eyeballed.

Multi-body delete is NOT offered. bodies_2 was in the first draft of the verb; the handler
deletes exactly one body, so a two-body selection would have silently deleted whichever was
m_sel_solid_body. Caught before it reached a binary, at the cost of one rebuild.

Verified on BOTH rigs, full round trip: click a face -> Modify > Delete Body -> "Delete
Extrude2?" -> body gone, Sketch1 correctly left behind, panel falls back to the idle hint ->
Undo -> Extrude2 and Body 1 restored.

Tommaso Bianchi 34eb4224a1 Design: fix a wrong issue ref in the Thicken comment
The previous commit cites snaporca-y7q, which does not exist — I wrote the ID from memory
instead of reading it back from the bug I had just filed. The real one is snaporca-kgx,
"Offer: Thicken (and peers) open with the picked face discarded". The comment is corrected
here; the commit message above it cannot be, so this note is the pointer.
2026-08-02 09:03:49 +02:00
Tommaso Bianchi 9d47280a19 Design: a card opened from a face must use, and show, that face
snaporca-y7q. Thicken's opener cleared m_sel_solid_face outright. That was right when the
only door was a toolbar button — a button carries no selection, so pressing Thicken had to
clear and ask you to point at something. The offer inverted it: the verb is now invoked ON
a face, and the same line threw away the only thing the user had said. The card opened
reading "(pick a solid face)" over an immediate "thicken: face not found" — you pointed at
the face and were told none could be found.

Keep the pick when the body combo landed on the body it came from (the index is per-body,
and selected_body_default() returns exactly that body when it is valid).

Two neighbours had the mirror-image flaw, both invisible for the same reason — the value
was right and the ghost updated, so only the label lied:
  - Thicken had NO live label update at all. Nothing outside the opener ever wrote
    m_thicken_face_label, so while the card was open you could pick face after face and it
    still read "(pick a solid face)".
  - Shell and Draft wrote theirs ONLY from the pick handler, which runs while a card is
    already open — so opened from a selection they showed the previous pick, or the
    placeholder over a face they were about to use.

So the label is now written once in open_tool(), which every door goes through. The
edit-feature path already restores m_sel_solid_face from the stored feature BEFORE calling
open_tool, so it agrees rather than fights.

Verified on the snaporca rig: face 4 of an extruded plate, offer > Add material > Thicken
now opens "Face: Face 4" with "Preview — 24 triangles" and confirms to a real Body 2. Draft
opened from a face shows "Face 3" and previews the taper. This fork is code-identical here
bar the two permitted DropDown divergences; it still owes a build of its own (snaporca-5pl).

Project keeps its clear: there "(all edges)" is a legitimate default mode rather than a
failure, so changing it would alter behaviour with no reported problem behind it.

Tommaso Bianchi cfc2555c3a Design: a verb's address is data, so the toolbar widget can stop existing
snaporca-7ih's remaining half. Both flyout factories registered their verbs INSIDE the
widget-building loop, so the ~40 retired tool buttons had to be constructed and then
Hide()n: skipping construction would have deleted 42 offer verbs (26 fly:<family>#<row>
+ 16 Shift+keys) while their rows still rendered and did nothing when picked.

Register first, build second. The addresses are pure data; the widget is one door onto
them, not their owner. A family absent from kBarKeep now returns before any wxWindow is
made. The keep-list stays a one-line data decision, not a structural one.

And close the class of bug for good: the constructor now verifies, once, that every verb
the atlas marks wired resolves to a real registration, logging each break and asserting in
debug. Rows that render and do nothing have shipped three times (edit_feature and sk_move
with action:null, then this) and are invisible from either side alone.

Verified on the snaporca rig by walking the offer, not by reading the code — all four
at-risk address kinds run with no widget behind them: fly:design_rect#2 drew an OBLIQUE
rectangle (the third variant, not the family's first), key:S+E opened Extrude with its
10 mm gizmo, fly:material#4 opened Thicken. Hover hints, icons and nesting intact. This
fork is code-identical here bar the two permitted DropDown divergences; it still owes a
build of its own (snaporca-5pl).

Two hints were wrong and are fixed: Cut said "Split the body with a plane", colliding with
the Split verb one row away and pointing at a card for a value the canvas already offers as
a draggable arrow; Split never said its plane comes from a picked face.

Also, because it blocked the verification and will block the next one: gui-session.sh
killed by full path while its own app_pid() matched by basename, so a differently-pathed
instance survived, held the single-instance lock, and got reported as a healthy session —
a Jul-30 binary nearly passed as this build. It now kills by basename and prints which
binary is actually on screen. Traps 6 and 7 documented.

Mirror of snaporca 2b3e890165 (DesignPanel.cpp applied as a patch; parity 30 / 16, shared
files byte-identical).

All 86 verbs now carry a hint: 55 extracted from the C++ tool definitions so the offer and
the armed-tool hint cannot drift, 31 written by hand. One wxEVT_MENU_HIGHLIGHT binding
shows the hovered verb's hint in the status line. The generator asserts that no wired verb
lacks one.

Also: all 200 status writes go through set_status(), which wraps instead of clipping at the
panel edge; and the empty-document hint is called from on_tab_shown() as well, since
after_tree_edit() never runs on a freshly opened tab.

Verified on the rig.

Retiring the toolbar made ten hints untrue: each named an action whose door had moved to

Known and not fixed here: m_status does not wrap, so long hints clip; and the 86 offer

Hiding it with the drawing tools was wrong: Construction is a persistent MODE, not a tool —
the Bed checkbox, not the Line button. Q and the offer's Construction row kept toggling a
checkbox nobody could see, so you could not tell whether the next line would be construction
geometry.

Scoping unchanged and already correct: m_tb_sketch is shown only in UiMode::Sketch, so it
appears exactly while a sketch is open or being edited.

fadd() and sadd() now gate what reaches the bar: file operations, Bed, Undo/Redo, Delete
selected, Commit to Plate, Confirm/Cancel, plus Place on Face and Section view — the last
two because they are chrome_only in the atlas and have no offer row to fall back on.

The tool buttons are still built and then hidden, deliberately: their fly: addresses and
Shift+key bindings are registered inside the widget-building loops, so not building them
would silently drop 42 verbs from the offer while they still rendered. snaporca-7ih covers
hoisting the registrations so the construction can go too.

Four separators whose groups are now empty were dropped; they rendered as stray rules.

Mirror of snaporca bcab67f8ce (DesignPanel.cpp applied as a patch; parity 30 / 16, shared
files byte-identical).

tool_atlas.json now names an icon for 80 of 86 verbs, derived from the toolbar's own
definitions rather than invented, and every one of the 54 distinct names was checked to
exist in resources/images first.

The first attempt drew nothing despite a green build: wxGTK builds the GtkMenuItem inside
Append() and reads GetBitmap() there, so setting the bitmap on the returned item is a
silent no-op. append_offer_item() constructs, sets, then appends — the same order Orca's
own append_menu_item() uses.

Mirror of snaporca 1fb7786d9a (DesignPanel.cpp and DesignCanvas.cpp applied as patches;

With a sketch open, Text/SVG outlines become ordinary Line entities via push_closed_lines()
instead of a separate Sketch feature carrying rigid imported_regions — so the letters can
be constrained, trimmed and extruded like anything drawn by hand. The buttons and offer
actions arm Select first when in Sketch mode, since begin_sketch() does not run until a
tool is armed.

add_imported_regions() calls reset_autoedit(): without it the glyph contours entered the
draw-then-edit queue and opened a Length field on the first segment, which freezes the
canvas. Caught on the rig, not by reading.
