harrierpigeonandClaude Fable 5.1 cfad587c2d Belt: follow-ups from a second review pass
Guard the layer count and the per-object layer collection against an
object that is left without a layer to print on a belt (the counting
loop stepped before begin() and front() was taken of an empty vector).
Check the belt temperature tower's embossed model before the current
project is replaced, not after.  Only invalidate the support step of
objects that own a belt brim when an object is added or removed.  The
empty-layers test now counts an extrusion only where material is laid
down along a move.  The BeltBrim.cpp SEQUENCING note says exactly which
layers are read, and the machine-frame scale is 1/|sin|.

Remove more code that nothing calls: the kinematics inverse
(to_logical, apply_axis_remap_inverse, to_build_volume and the state
kept for them), the world_coordinates(), is_active() and
belt_brim_areas_by_layer() accessors, the PrintConfig overload of
physical_tilt() and the DynamicPrintConfig overload of
compute_belt_height_and_floor().  Comments in GCode.hpp,
BeltSliceStrategy.hpp/.cpp and PrintObjectSlice.cpp that described the
retired pre-slice remap and plane-evaluator still did; the purge-tower
width tooltip named the wrong switch.

harrierpigeonandClaude Opus 5 4d2c3a0af4 GCodeWriter: fix two machine-mapping bugs the extraction preserved
Both change emitted G-code, which is why they were kept out of the extraction
commit. Both are wrong only where the machine mapping is non-identity, which is
the definition of each bug.

1. Suppress lifts commanded through an unknown position.

_travel_to_z() emits full XYZ whenever the mapping must emit every axis, because
the mapping can make machine Z depend on logical X/Y, and it builds that point
from m_pos. At print start, and after any custom G-code that invalidates
position, m_pos.xy is the uninitialised origin; mapping (0, 0, z) through a
non-identity remap produces a real but wrong machine point -- for a reverse
mapping, build_vol_max, i.e. the far corner of the bed. The subsequent full-XYZ
move corrects the position, but the lift has already commanded a rapid across
the whole bed at travel speed.

Belt kinematics already guarded this; the Cartesian path did not. The guard is
now applied at all three lift sites through must_skip_lift_now(), not just the
one the extraction covered: travel_to_xyz()'s pending-lift branch,
lazy_lift(spiral_vase=true), and eager_lift(). The latter two also needed the
state fix -- both recorded m_lifted = target_lift regardless, so suppressing
only the emission would leave a later unlift() descending from a height that was
never commanded.

2. Never emit a G2/G3 arc a mapping cannot represent.

extrude_arc_to_xy() emitted G2/G3 with logical X/Y and I/J and never consulted
the mapping. There is no general fix by transforming the arc: a permutation
moves it out of the XY plane that I/J describes, a negation reverses handedness,
and the belt shear maps a circle to an ellipse that G2/G3 cannot express at all.

So supports_arc_moves() gates generation through the existing
GCode::should_disable_arc_fitting() hook, and BeltGCode's special-case override
is deleted -- belt now gets the same behaviour from the general rule instead of
its own exception.

supports_arc_moves() is m_remap_x == 0 && m_remap_y == 1, not !has_axis_remap():
an arc emits only X/Y/I/J, so a mapping that merely negates or reverses Z leaves
every emitted word untouched and keeps its arcs.

The fallback for an unrepresentable arc tessellates it into linear segments at a
0.005mm chord tolerance rather than substituting a single chord, and splits dE
proportionally across the segments. The capability check is hoisted above every
extrusion mutation: an earlier form ran it after filament()->extrude(dE) and so
extruded 2*dE on the fallback path.

Known limits of that fallback, since it is worth stating rather than discovering:
emitted relative E is conserved only to per-segment rounding (a radius-5
semicircle with dE=1.5 emits 1.50012 across 36 segments); the 0.005mm bound is a
logical-frame bound, about 0.00855mm in machine space under a 45-degree belt
shear; unequal endpoint radii and non-finite inputs are unchecked. Ordinary
export takes the original polyline when the mapping rejects arcs, so this path
is a fallback rather than the normal route.

Known gap, not claimed fixed: classic wipe towers have their own
enable_arc_fitting and their own G2/G3 emitter in GCode/WipeTower.cpp, which
should_disable_arc_fitting() does not govern. Belt printers are barred from
classic wipe towers; a remapped Cartesian printer is not.

Tests in tests/fff_print/test_gcodewriter.cpp: reverse-X remap with unknown and
with known position plus an identity control; eager_lift emitting nothing and
recording nothing; the arc-capability matrix including the Z-only cases; and the
tessellated fallback. E accounting is asserted through used_filament() rather
than E(), which resets per line in relative-E mode.

harrierpigeonandClaude Opus 5 e695da66df GCodeWriter: extract MachineKinematics, delete BeltGCodeWriter
BeltGCodeWriter subclassed GCodeWriter and overrode seven methods, five of them
by copying the base body and changing the transform. The base writer already
carried an axis remap and already branched at each of its seven
coordinate-emission decisions; the subclass did the same branching with a
different transform, and the two copies had begun to drift.

Replace the inheritance with a strategy object owned by GCodeWriter:

  CartesianKinematics  to_machine = the existing apply_axis_remap; today's base
                       behaviour, moved rather than changed.
  BeltKinematics       to_machine = MachineFrameTransform o axis_remap o
                       BeltBackTransform, plus a world_coordinates variant for
                       the PA calibration generators.

New: src/libslic3r/GCode/MachineKinematics.{hpp,cpp}, GCode/BeltKinematics.{hpp,cpp}
Deleted: src/libslic3r/BeltGCodeWriter.{hpp,cpp} (341 lines)

Points worth a reviewer's attention:

  * The predicate is must_emit_all_axes(), not couples_axes(). The base returns
    true for any non-identity remap, including pure permutations that do not
    physically couple axes, so the question is "must every axis word be
    emitted", not a statement about kinematics.
  * Every per-site word-omission branch is preserved. The base deliberately
    emits X/Y only, or Z only, or drops Z when its quantised value is unchanged.
    The strategy changes which transform applies, never whether words are
    omitted.
  * set_kinematics() replays the configured remap and build volume onto a newly
    installed strategy, because BeltGCode::init_belt_writer runs before
    GCode.cpp calls set_axis_remap/set_build_volume_max.
  * uses_pointwise_travel_speed() preserves a pre-existing divergence rather
    than introducing one: the base travel_to_xyz emits the raw configured travel
    speed in its final branch, ignoring the first-layer value computed at the
    top, whereas the belt path used the first-layer-aware value throughout. Both
    are kept. Unifying them changes feedrates and belongs in its own change.
  * The [BELT-DEBUG] block is deleted; it rate-limited itself with a
    function-local static thread_local in the hot emission path, and this is the
    commit that would otherwise have moved it into shared code.

This commit is intended to preserve existing export output. That is reviewed by
construction -- each emission site keeps its own omission branch and each policy
divergence is preserved -- and is NOT verified against a G-code diff corpus.
Building that corpus is the outstanding work here.

Two API-equivalence exceptions, neither reachable by any caller today:

  * Belt kinematics with no plane pointer installed, m_is_first_layer true,
    initial and normal travel speeds differing, travel_to_xyz() reaching its
    final branch: the old belt writer selected the initial-layer speed, the new
    writer selects the normal travel speed. The pending-lift and XY-only
    branches keep their previous selection.
  * Belt kinematics installed without set_force_normal_lift(true) and a
    non-normal lift requested: the old belt writer forced a normal lift, the new
    writer can take the slope branch.

The PA-pattern generator reaches the writer through explicit travel_to_z() /
travel_to_xy(), not travel_to_xyz() or the lazy/eager lift paths, and normal
belt export installs both the plane and the forced-normal-lift policy, so
neither exception changes output produced today. They are recorded because a
future caller could reach them.

tests/fff_print/test_gcodewriter.cpp was also not compiling before this branch:
it called writer.to_machine_coords(), a method that existed only on
BeltGCodeWriter. It never surfaced because the build targets OrcaSlicer, not
all, and BUILD_TESTS defaults to OFF, so that translation unit was outside every
compile path. Fixed here; the existing 30-degree coordinate assertions are kept
verbatim as the best available regression net.
