* ci: build Windows with build_win.bat and drop the old scripts
The deps and slicer jobs called build_release_vs.bat; they now call
build_win.bat. --deps-dir and --build-dir name the build/build-arm64
directories the cache keys and later steps already use, and the
script's own VsDevCmd call replaces the Enter-VsDevShell blocks.
With both stages configured each way into the same directory, the deps
superbuild is byte-identical and the slicer build files are
byte-identical apart from CMakeCache.txt recording how DEP_BUILD_DIR
was set.
Two changes beyond the script swap:
- The compiler is the clang-cl bundled with Visual Studio, the script's
default. The old script's bare "clang-cl" resolved to the LLVM on the
runner image's PATH, 20.1.8 on x64 and 22.1.8 on arm64; both arches
now build with the 22.1.3 VS 18.9 ships. Cached dependencies are only
rebuilt when deps/ changes, so they stay on the LLVM they were built
with; the arm64 leg already links deps built with Clang 19 into a
Clang 22 slicer.
- The deps job no longer zips the dependencies afterwards. The zip was
never uploaded and was not in the cached path.
A failed cmake --build now fails the job. The old script returned 0, so
the arm64 failure fixed in #15719 was reported as success and the
half-built dependencies were saved to the cache.
build_release.bat, build_release_vs.bat and build_release_vs2022.bat are
removed; nothing referenced them any more.
* ci: run Build all when the Windows build script changes; tests doc builds the deps
The push filter of build_all.yml never listed a build script, and CI
now depends on build_win.bat, so it and its test suite join the list
the pull_request filter already has.
tests/AGENTS.md told Windows to run build_win.bat --run-tests, which
only implies -s and stops at the dependency check on a clean checkout.
The old build_release_vs.bat tests built the dependencies first, so
the line now says -ds --run-tests.
* Run every profile maintenance job from one tool
orca_id_tool.py becomes orca_profile_tool.py, and orca_extra_profile_check.py
and orca_filament_lib.py fold into it as subcommands: check, generate-id, fix,
trim, update-index and update-snapshot. The three scripts already overlapped --
the checker imported half of its rules from the id tool, which in turn kept a
copy-pasted set of output helpers to avoid the resulting import cycle -- while
disagreeing on how a vendor is enumerated, how a JSON file is read and what the
exit code means. One file settles all three.
check, normalize, trim and update-index reproduce their predecessors exactly; normalize and
update-index were diffed byte-for-byte against the old scripts over a copy of
the whole tree. Deliberate changes: the compatible-printers check no longer
switches itself off when --check-materials is passed, an error exits 1 rather
than -1, update-index honours --profile-type and reports a profile it cannot
place instead of dropping it from the index, fix and update-index gained
--dry-run, trim keeps an unindexed file some surviving profile still inherits
from, and vendors are enumerated as directories with an index -- which is why
blacklist.json, a data file that an unscoped index rebuild once wrote four empty
list sections into, loses them here and will not collect them again. The dead
rename_filament_system() helper is gone.
The suite under scripts/tests now covers the maintenance commands too, and CI
runs it; nothing there ran in CI before. No shipped profile data changes apart
from those four keys.
* update vendor index files with "python3 ./scripts/orca_profile_tool.py update-index" and "python3 ./scripts/orca_profile_tool.py normalize"
* CLI: --ground-face-* / --lay-flat / --center-on-bed orientation primitives
Adds the CLI counterparts to the GUI's lay-flat / face-pick gizmos.
Scripted / CI / AI pipelines can now set orientation without rendering
a wxWidgets frame; today the only way is a GUI round-trip.
New CLI actions (all operate in the mesh-local frame so they compose
with prior --rotate-* / --orient flags):
--ground-largest-face 1 Auto-detect the largest planar-face
or --lay-flat 1 cluster (area-weighted), rotate so its
normal points -Z. Covers "this part has
one obvious flat side" cases.
--ground-face-normal NX,NY,NZ Pick the face whose mesh-local
normal best matches the given
vector; ground it. e.g.
`--ground-face-normal 1,0,0`
stands a part on its +X side.
--ground-face-point X,Y,Z Find the triangle containing the
given mesh-local point; ground its
face. Disambiguates when several
faces share a normal (largest
containing triangle wins).
--center-on-bed 1 Translate so the XY bounding-box
centroid lands at the bed center
(derived from printable_area).
New file `src/slic3r/Utils/MeshOrient.{hpp,cpp}`:
- collect_triangles_object / compute_face_clusters — quantize
per-triangle normals (0.001, ~0.06°) and area-weighted-average
within clusters. Same clustering logic used by lay-flat.
- apply_ground_rotation — same math as Selection::flattening_rotate
in the GUI (Selection.cpp:1432): world-space quaternion from the
transformed normal to -Z, applied as offset * new_rot * old_no_offset
on every instance of every object, then a per-instance Z-lift so the
grounded face lands at exactly 0 (avoids "No layers were detected"
from FP-error z≈-1e-9).
- ground_face_point uses a top-N cluster search + point-in-triangle
test in local space; largest-area triangle wins on ambiguity.
Rationale: without these, any CLI pipeline that needs a specific
face on the bed must either encode custom rotation math per part or
break out of the pipeline into the GUI. Both are bad for
reproducibility. The --ground-face-* triple + the largest-face
auto-mode cover essentially every orientation intent expressible
in a slicing wizard.
Scope:
- `src/slic3r/Utils/MeshOrient.{hpp,cpp}` — new, ~420 lines
- `src/slic3r/CMakeLists.txt` — 2-line registration
- `src/libslic3r/PrintConfig.cpp` — 5 new CLIMiscConfigDef entries
- `src/OrcaSlicer.cpp` — 58-line handler block + 1 include
No behaviour change when the flags are absent.
(cherry picked from commit c45a9795e1)
* CLI grounding: choose among the Lay on Face planes, per object
Addresses review:
- Move the geometry of GLGizmoFlatten::update_planes() into
libslic3r/LayOnFace and use it from the gizmo and the CLI, so the
--ground-* options pick convex-hull faces per object and instance,
with part transformations (--rotate-x/y) applied.
- Drop --center-on-bed, the --lay-flat alias and MeshOrient; make
--ground-largest-face a coBool.
- Parse --ground-face-normal and --ground-face-point strictly. A point
that only some objects contain grounds those and leaves the others.
- Fold in --inspect-mesh from #14603, reporting the same planes.
- Tests in tests/libslic3r/test_lay_on_face.cpp: bounding boxes before
and after, rotate then ground, two objects, and a ribbed part whose
parallel inner faces outsum its base.
* CLI --inspect-mesh, --ground-face-*: reject missing input and empty values
- Without an input file or --load-assemble-list, --inspect-mesh printed
nothing and exited 0. Reject it up front with CLI_INVALID_PARAMS.
- An explicit empty --ground-face-normal or --ground-face-point was
silently ignored. Only options given on the command line reach the
transforms loop, so an empty value now fails the strict parse like any
other malformed value.
# Description
Add `--strict` for CI and scripted pipelines, and a structured
`warnings`
array in `result.json`.
## `--strict`
A NON_CRITICAL slicing warning is logged and the slice succeeds: return
code
`0`, G-code written. That suits interactive use, but a pipeline then
ships a
slice with a warning nobody saw. With `--strict`, such a warning fails
the run
with `CLI_SLICING_ERROR` before the G-code is exported. Without the
flag,
nothing changes.
In FFF the warning that reaches this path is "support needed but
disabled"
(`PrintObject::generate_support_material`). `--no-check` skips that
check, so
`--strict --no-check` is rejected with `CLI_INVALID_PARAMS`.
`--strict` is read before any work, so it doesn't depend on argument
order and
`result.json` reports it for early failures as well.
## `result.json`
Two new top-level fields:
- `warnings`: `[{"class", ...details}]`. One class is wired:
`slicing_warning_non_critical` with `plate_id` and `text`, recorded
whenever
such a warning fires, with or without `--strict`. The array also fills
on
runs that succeed, so `return_code` stays the verdict.
- `strict_mode`: whether `--strict` was on.
`record_exit_reson` writes `result.json` on Linux only, so both fields
exist
only there. The non-zero exit works on every platform.
## Tests
- `tests/fff_print/test_support_material.cpp` (all platforms): an
overhang
sliced with support off raises the NON_CRITICAL support-needed status,
and
the no-check flag suppresses it.
- `tests/cli/test_cli_strict.sh` (Linux only): runs `orca-slicer`
without
flags, with `--strict`, and with `--strict --no-check`, and checks the
shell
status and `result.json` of each. It runs the built binary, so it
carries the
`RequiresApp` label, which `scripts/run_unit_tests.sh` excludes because
the
unit-test job only receives `build/tests`. Run it with
`ctest --test-dir build/tests -C Release -L RequiresApp`.
- CI: `unit_tests.yml` now passes `Release` on Linux too.
`build_linux.sh`
configures Ninja Multi-Config, and without a config ctest drops the
labels of
plain `add_test()` tests, so this test ran as "Not Run" instead of being
excluded. The docs that assumed Linux was single-config are corrected
too.
Built and run locally on Linux (GCC 14) on current `main`: both tests
pass,
and the touched files compile clean under Clang with `-Werror`.
* ci(flatpak): run the unit suite in a separate job, mirroring the other arches
Alternative to the in-job step: split build and test like the Linux/Windows/
macOS legs. The flatpak build now builds the test binaries in-sandbox (the
action's run-tests fires the module's build-only test-commands), prunes the
kept build tree to the test binaries + CTest metadata + data, and uploads it
with /app as a test asset (size reported to the run summary).
A new unit_tests_flatpak matrix job downloads that asset on a native runner,
restores the module-build symlink, and runs the suite via flatpak-builder
--run (which bind-mounts /run/build so TEST_DATA_DIR resolves) against the
GNOME SDK's bounds-checked STL. Results feed publish_test_results.
Costs a per-arch asset upload/download + a runtime install on the test
runner; the trade-off vs the in-job step is a genuine separate graph box.
* ci(flatpak): run tests via `flatpak build` to avoid rofiles-fuse
`flatpak-builder --run` sets up a rofiles-fuse overlay that this CI container
rejects (Failure spawning rofiles-fuse, exit_status: 256), even in a fresh job
with a machine-id and the runtime installed, and --disable-rofiles-fuse is not
accepted in --run mode. `flatpak build` enters the sandbox via bwrap directly,
so it sidesteps rofiles-fuse; bind-mounting the build tree at /run/build gives
the same path the compiled-in TEST_DATA_DIR expects.
* ci(flatpak): slim the test asset (strip binaries, drop source tree)
The first cut shipped ~1 GB: the test exes carried debug info (the SDK builds
with -g and only the app gets stripped) and the packaged module dir included
the whole copied source tree the tests never read at runtime. Strip the test
binaries and keep only build_flatpak/tests, tests/ (TEST_DATA_DIR) and scripts/.
The irreducible remainder is /app, which the exes link against.
* ci(flatpak): extract the test run into a reusable unit_tests_flatpak workflow
Move the flatpak test job out of build_all.yml into a reusable
unit_tests_flatpak.yml, called once per arch (Flatpak x86_64 / aarch64) the
same way the other arches call unit_tests.yml. build_all.yml keeps only the
build + asset packaging; the reusable workflow downloads the asset, runs the
suite via `flatpak build`, and uploads results as test-results-<artifact> for
publish_test_results. Drops the now-unused manifest checkout (flatpak build
does not need it).
* ci(flatpak): trim comments to the non-obvious
No behavior change.
* ci(flatpak): drop redundant caller comment
* ci(flatpak): drop redundant trim comment
* ci(flatpak): drop size-report scaffolding and redundant if-guards
* ci(flatpak): force the app module to rebuild so the test asset always exists
flatpak-builder caches modules by content hash and skips a hit, producing no
build tree and no test asset, so a re-run of the same commit would leave the
separate test job with nothing to download. Inject a per-run cache-buster into
the OrcaSlicer module's build-options (part of its cache key) so it always
rebuilds, mirroring how the other arches cache only deps and always rebuild the
app and tests. The deps modules stay cached.
* ci(flatpak): trim cache-buster comment, fix stale step name
* fix: guard H2C per-filament array reads against short config arrays
The H2C tool-ordering, wipe-tower, and g-code export paths index per-filament
config arrays by filament/tool id. A config with fewer entries than the filament
count (partial or legacy projects, minimal test configs) makes these reads run
past the end of the vector: silent under a normal STL, but UB that aborts under
the flatpak build's bounds-checked STL (_GLIBCXX_ASSERTIONS).
Route the reads through the existing clamping accessors (get_at,
get_filament_category, is_in_same_extruder) and add a small clamp helper for
filament_change_length. The guards are no-ops when the arrays are sized to the
filament count, so correctly specified configs are unaffected.
* ci(flatpak): build filament_group_tests too
The suite landed on main after this branch was cut and arrived via a later merge,
so it was missing from the target list and ctest failed the leg with
filament_group_tests_NOT_BUILT.
Not tests/all, which build_linux.sh uses: that is a Ninja subdirectory target and
this build configures with the default Makefile generator, where it does not exist.
* ci(flatpak): give the embedded-interpreter tests a valid Python home
python_test_support.hpp sets PyConfig.home to <testdir>/python when that
path resolves. WIN32/APPLE populate it with a copied bundled runtime; the
flatpak leg had no such branch, so home resolved to a directory with no
stdlib and all 21 embedded plugin tests failed at "failed to get the
Python codec of the filesystem encoding".
Symlink <testdir>/python to the bundled /app/libpython that already ships
in the flatpak (the test exe links libpython3.12.so from there via rpath),
so the interpreter initializes without duplicating the runtime.
* ci(flatpak): sync the ToolOrdering guard mirror with #14789
Match #14709's build_filament_group_context guard to the version on
#14789 (size filament_info to filament_nums, truncate filament_ids)
so the folded guard is a byte-identical mirror that drops cleanly when
#14789 merges, instead of leaving a stale hunk that conflicts on rebase.
* fix: guard WipeTower per-filament array reads against short config arrays
The BambuStudio WipeTower sync reintroduced raw per-filament array
indexing that reads out of bounds when a config leaves an array shorter
than the filament count: m_physical_extruder_map in format_line_M104/M109
(indexed even when empty), and m_filament_categories in get_wall_skip_points
and get_wall_filament_for_all_layer. Silent on a normal STL, a hard abort
under the bounds-checked STL the Flatpak build uses.
Bounds-check the physical extruder map before indexing (omitting the T
token, as the existing -1 path already does), and route the two raw
m_filament_categories reads through the clamping get_filament_category()
accessor the surrounding code already uses. No change for correctly-sized
configs.
* fix: default-initialize WallToolPathsParams fields
min_length_factor and is_top_or_bottom_layer had no default initializers, and the FillConcentric/FillConcentricInternal callers never set them, so WallToolPaths::removeSmallLines() thresholded on stack garbage. Which short extrusion lines it dropped then depended on memory layout, so concentric solid-infill output was nondeterministic between runs and across machines. Give every member a default, matching the adjacent FillParams. The perimeter path was already fine because it builds the struct via make_paths_params().
* fix: bounds-check the toolchange flush-volume and HRC per-filament lookups
GCode::set_extruder's toolchange flush-volume lookup and
GCodeProcessor::update_slice_warnings's HRC check index per-filament and
per-extruder arrays (flush_volumes_matrix, the filament map, the nozzle list)
by filament/extruder id. When a config leaves one of those arrays shorter than
the filament count (partial or legacy multi-extruder projects, minimal
configs), the reads run off the end: silent on a normal STL, a hard abort under
_GLIBCXX_ASSERTIONS.
Route both reads through bounds checks: the flush lookup falls back to no flush,
matching the existing unknown-old-filament branch beside it, and the HRC check
skips an unmapped filament, mirroring the required_nozzle_HRC guard on the line
above. When the arrays are sized to the filament count the values are unchanged,
so correctly-specified configs are unaffected.
* ci: retrigger checks
* ci: name the flatpak rebuild token after the cache it defeats
Since #15650 the Flatpak job also has a compiler cache, so a bare
"cache-buster" no longer says which cache is meant. Call it
flatpak_builder_cache_buster, and name the build-dir trim step after
the flatpak-builder cache save it keeps lean.
* ci: ship resources/profiles and resources/printers in the flatpak test asset
Two slic3rutils tests added in 4aa0e1d60b read
resources/printers/bambu_filament_ids.json through PROFILES_DIR/.., and
the asset dropped resources/ entirely, so both failed parsing an empty
stream on each Flatpak leg. Keep the two subtrees the tests reach;
test_gcodewriter's shipped-profile case stops skipping on this leg too.
* ci: restore the CRLF line endings of build_all.yml
The last merge from upstream/main rewrote the file with LF endings, which
turns the 60-line change into a whole-file diff on GitHub. Upstream has had
this file as CRLF since it was created, so put it back.
* ci: trigger Build all on changes to the unit-test workflows
The path filters only matched build_*.yml, so an edit to unit_tests.yml or
unit_tests_flatpak.yml could merge without ever running.
* ci: put a timeout on the flatpak unit-test step
Matches the 20 minutes of the regular unit-test workflow; without it a hung
test holds the runner for the six-hour job default.
VS 2026's ARM64 code generator needs about 27 GB for
_PyUnicode_ToNumeric, a switch with 1951 cases in
Objects/unicodetype_db.h; the same file takes under 1 GB on x64. The
16 GB CI runner has an 18.9 GB commit limit and only gets through when
Windows grows the pagefile on the temp disk in time, so cold arm64
dependency builds fail at random with C1002 "compiler is out of heap
space". build_release_vs.bat returns 0 on failure, so the job still
reports success and the incomplete dependencies are cached.
A property sheet compiles that one file with optimisation off on arm64;
the rest stays whole-program optimised and x64 is unchanged.
MSBuild reads it from PCbuild/msbuild.rsp, which is now written at
configure time and copied in, so a checkout path with spaces works too.
* fix: bounds-check the toolchange flush-volume and HRC per-filament lookups
GCode::set_extruder's toolchange flush-volume lookup and
GCodeProcessor::update_slice_warnings's HRC check index per-filament and
per-extruder arrays (flush_volumes_matrix, the filament map, the nozzle list)
by filament/extruder id. When a config leaves one of those arrays shorter than
the filament count (partial or legacy multi-extruder projects, minimal
configs), the reads run off the end: silent on a normal STL, a hard abort under
_GLIBCXX_ASSERTIONS.
Route both reads through bounds checks: the flush lookup falls back to no flush,
matching the existing unknown-old-filament branch beside it, and the HRC check
skips an unmapped filament, mirroring the required_nozzle_HRC guard on the line
above. When the arrays are sized to the filament count the values are unchanged,
so correctly-specified configs are unaffected.
* ci: retrigger checks
* fix: guard H2C per-filament array reads against short config arrays
The H2C tool-ordering, wipe-tower, and g-code export paths index per-filament
config arrays by filament/tool id. A config with fewer entries than the filament
count (partial or legacy projects, minimal test configs) makes these reads run
past the end of the vector: silent under a normal STL, but UB that aborts under
the flatpak build's bounds-checked STL (_GLIBCXX_ASSERTIONS).
Route the reads through the existing clamping accessors (get_at,
get_filament_category, is_in_same_extruder) and add a small clamp helper for
filament_change_length. The guards are no-ops when the arrays are sized to the
filament count, so correctly specified configs are unaffected.
* fix: size the grouping context's filament_info to the filament count
build_filament_group_context built model_info.filament_info by walking
filament_type, so a config whose filament_type is shorter than the filament
count produced a short vector. FilamentGroup indexes filament_info by filament
id, so clamping the individual reads only moved the out-of-bounds access
downstream. Loop to filament_nums and read all three fields through get_at,
and drop filament_ids entries past the filament count, since the grouping code
pairs filament_ids and filament_info by position.
Adds a regression test with four filaments and one-entry filament_type /
filament_is_support. Without the fix it throws bad_alloc from copying a garbage
std::string read past the end.
* fix: guard the carousel nozzle-change length reads too
The carousel branch added in b90ac13d86/b0dddb4648 reads
m_filaments_change_length by tool id without a bounds check, the same
pattern this branch already routed through filament_change_length_at
a few lines above in both plan_toolchange and plan_tower_new.
* fix: guard WipeTower per-filament array reads against short config arrays
The BambuStudio WipeTower sync reintroduced raw per-filament array
indexing that reads out of bounds when a config leaves an array shorter
than the filament count: m_physical_extruder_map in format_line_M104/M109
(indexed even when empty), and m_filament_categories in get_wall_skip_points
and get_wall_filament_for_all_layer. Silent on a normal STL, a hard abort
under the bounds-checked STL the Flatpak build uses.
Bounds-check the physical extruder map before indexing (omitting the T
token, as the existing -1 path already does), and route the two raw
m_filament_categories reads through the clamping get_filament_category()
accessor the surrounding code already uses. No change for correctly-sized
configs.

Adds a nightly workflow that runs the long parity checks from
[orca-test-repo](https://github.com/OrcaSlicer/orca-test-repo), which
are too slow for the per-build "Run external slicer regression tests"
step and are kept out of every PR and merge build.
## What it runs
`.github/workflows/parity_nightly.yml`, three jobs:
| Job | What it does |
|---|---|
| Find the build to test | Picks the latest successful `build_all.yml`
run for the branch (`main` by default) and records its commit. |
| Override sweep effect stage (shard 0 and 1) | Runs orca-test-repo's
override sweep with `--effect-full`: every config option that lands on
the CLI is re-sliced on its own to check that it actually changes the
G-code. Split into 2 shards, each with a 60-minute timeout. |
| GUI-vs-CLI parity harness | Slices a set of fixtures in the GUI
(headless under Xvfb) and on the CLI, compares the exports, and scores
divergences against a known-differences ledger. It reports only and
never fails on a divergence. |
## When it runs
- **Every night at 21:00 UTC,** after `build_all.yml`'s 17:00 UTC run
has finished.
- **By hand** through `workflow_dispatch`, with optional inputs:
- `build_branch`: the branch whose latest successful build to test;
- `test_repo_ref`: the orca-test-repo ref;
- `fixtures`: a subset of harness fixtures;
- `cli_presets`: `flat` or `raw`.
- **No `push` or `pull_request` trigger,** so nothing here runs on PRs
or merges. The per-build CI step is unchanged.
## How it tests a build
- **Binary:** the Linux x86_64 AppImage from the chosen `build_all` run.
- **Source:** OrcaSlicer checked out at that run's exact commit. The
AppImage only ships packed preset caches, so profiles and the CLI option
list come from this checkout, matched to the binary.
- **Output:** each job writes a summary to the run page and uploads its
report (`override-report-shard*`, `parity-scorecard`) for 30 days.
- **Failures:** a failing effect shard fails the run, and GitHub's usual
failure notification for scheduled workflows applies.

- Dispatched on this branch against orca-test-repo `main` and #15693's
build ([run
34933239912](https://github.com/OrcaSlicer/OrcaSlicer/actions/runs/34933239912)).
Every job passed:
- **effect shard 0:** 19m31s; 225 options sliced, 151 effective, none
crashed or hung, every fixture sliced;
- **effect shard 1:** 19m33s; 349 options sliced, 254 effective, same;
- **harness:** 4m32s; all 13 fixtures, 0 new divergences, 0 errors.
- An earlier dispatch on this branch, testing #15693's build against
orca-test-repo's parity branch ([run
34836468900](https://github.com/OrcaSlicer/OrcaSlicer/actions/runs/34836468900)),
passed: effect shards in 20m28s and 23m30s, and the harness reported 0
new divergences.
- The workflow only runs from the default branch on its schedule, so the
nightly trigger itself takes effect once this is merged.

Since #15438, every CLI run that loads a system preset spends about a
second per preset file re-parsing that vendor's entire profile tree. A
slice with a machine, process and filament preset got roughly 2.5 s
slower, and a four-filament slice roughly 4 s slower. This PR loads each
vendor tree once per run instead. Resolved presets and G-code are
unchanged.
The GUI never takes this path, and no release contains #15438, so the
regression only affects CLI runs on current dev and nightly builds. That
includes print farms, slicing services and plugins that call
`orca-slicer --slice`, and CI suites.
## Changes
### Why it was slow
`PresetBundle::resolve_preset_config` resolves a system preset through
its vendor manifest by loading the whole OrcaFilamentLibrary bundle and
the whole vendor tree from JSON, then picking the one preset out. The
CLI did that separately for every `--load-settings` and
`--load-filaments` file, on a fresh `PresetBundle` each time. With BBL
presets, a machine + process + filament run opened `BBL.json` three
times and read BBL's 2,879 profile files and the library's 512 three
times over.
### Load each vendor tree once
- `PresetBundle` keeps every vendor bundle its manifest path loads,
keyed by source root, vendor and substitution rule, and reuses them for
later resolutions on the same bundle.
- OrcaFilamentLibrary is cached the same way, so vendors under one root
share a single library load and the library's own presets resolve from
that same instance. A vendor bundle only reads from its base while
loading, so sharing it is safe.
- A failed or throwing load is not kept, so error reporting is
unchanged.
- The key includes the source root, so presets from two different
profile roots still resolve separately.
- The CLI resolves every system preset through one `PresetBundle` for
the whole run, instead of creating one per file.
The resolved configurations still come from the same canonical vendor
loader, so what a preset resolves to does not change. Only the CLI calls
`resolve_preset_config`, so a long-lived GUI bundle cannot end up
holding profile trees that later change on disk.

CLI slice of a 20 mm cube with X1 Carbon system presets. Both builds get
the same datadir, best of 3, Linux. "Before" is this PR's base from CI.
| System presets loaded | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| machine | 0.95 s | 0.87 s |
| machine + process | 1.67 s | 0.92 s |
| machine + process + 1 filament | 2.51 s | 0.97 s |
| machine + process + 4 filaments | 5.00 s | 0.99 s |
Files opened during the machine + process + filament run (`strace -e
openat`):
| | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| `BBL.json` | 3 | 1 |
| `OrcaFilamentLibrary.json` | 3 | 1 |
| `system/BBL/**/*.json` | 8,634 | 2,880 |
| `system/OrcaFilamentLibrary/**/*.json` | 1,536 | 512 |
Peak memory did not rise: max RSS 306 MB → 286 MB for the three-preset
run, and 305 MB → 285 MB for four filaments. The "before" figure is an
AppImage, so part of that gap is probably packaging.
## Tests
<!--
> Please describe the tests that you have conducted to verify the
changes made in this PR.
-->
- New test "Manifest-backed resolution reuses the vendor tree it already
loaded" in `tests/libslic3r/test_preset_bundle_loading.cpp`. It resolves
one preset, changes the parent profile on disk, then resolves a sibling.
The same bundle returns the value it already loaded, and a fresh bundle
picks up the change.
- New test "Manifest-backed resolution shares the library between
vendors under one root". It resolves through one vendor, changes a
library profile on disk, then resolves through a second vendor and a
library preset on the same bundle. Both return the value already loaded,
and a fresh bundle picks up the change.
- All `[Preset][Bundle]` tests pass (87 test cases, 1,069 assertions),
including the existing manifest-backed resolution cases for source-root
scoping, malformed vendor loads, missing parents and type mismatches.
- G-code of the three-preset slice is identical before and after, header
lines excluded.
- The external CLI regression suite passes. Two cases report as
unexpectedly passing because #15639 fixed their bug. They pass the same
way on this PR's base without the change.
- A GUI-vs-CLI parity run over 10 fixtures shows no new differences.
- Builds clean on Linux (Release, with tests).

Testing](https://www.orcaslicer.com/wiki/how_to_download_pr_artifacts)
The manifest resolver loaded OrcaFilamentLibrary once per vendor it
resolved through, so a run that mixes vendors parsed the library tree
again for each of them. The library is now cached like any other vendor
tree, keyed on its root and substitution rule, and doubles as the base
every vendor under that root loads against. A vendor bundle only reads
from its base while loading, so sharing the instance is safe.
The cache key carries the substitution rule as its enum, and the lookup
lambdas take a const bundle since they only read.
`--export-settings` already writes the merged config as JSON at the
right point in the CLI flow. Passing `-` now writes that same document
to stdout, so scripts can inspect the effective config without a temp
file. This replaces #14605.
- `ConfigBase::save_to_json` gains a stream overload. The file overload
serializes through it before opening the file, so the output format is
unchanged, and a config that cannot be serialized (invalid UTF-8) now
leaves the existing file untouched instead of truncating it.
- On stdout, invalid UTF-8 in string values is written as U+FFFD instead
of ending the process with an uncaught `type_error`. Files keep the
strict behaviour.
- To keep stdout pure JSON, `-` is rejected up front (stderr message,
`CLI_INVALID_PARAMS`, shell status 254) when combined with an action or
transform that can write to stdout or does real work: `--info`,
`--help`, `--orient`, slicing and exporting. Options that do nothing
without a slice (`--uptodate`, `--min-save`, `--pipe`, ...) are still
accepted.
- The one unconditional stdout write on a success path, "skip locked
instance" during arrange, now goes to the log.
- Every other value, including the default `output.json`, behaves as
before.
Tests in `tests/libslic3r/test_config.cpp`: the stream output equals the
file output and keeps the tab-indented format; invalid UTF-8 throws on
the strict path and is replaced when asked; a failed save leaves the
previous file intact.
Opening a model with a relative path, for example `orca-slicer ./some.3mf`,
failed with "Loading of a model file failed." and "The file does not contain
any geometry data.", while the same file opened by an absolute path or by
drag and drop worked.
GUI_App::init_app_config() changes the working directory to <data_dir>/log,
and it runs from the GUI_App constructor because the app config is needed
early for instance checking. The input files are opened much later, in
post_init(), so a path still relative at that point resolved against the log
directory instead of the directory OrcaSlicer was started from, and the 3MF
reader failed to open it.
Resolve the input paths in CLI::setup(), which runs before GUI_App is
constructed and therefore before the working directory moves. Absolute paths
are returned unchanged, so the forms that open today are unaffected, and
custom open protocol URLs are passed through since post_init() hands those to
the downloader rather than the file loader.
The working directory change is left alone. It was added in #3248 so the TUTK
logs land in the data directory instead of the working directory (#3209).
The U1's heated bed tops out at 100 °C, but these profiles requested
105-110 °C, which leads to print errors unless the user modifies the
printer's firmware configuration.
Affected profiles:
- Snapmaker ABS @U1 base (110/105 → 100)
- Snapmaker ASA @U1 base (110 → 100)
- Fiberon ASA-CF08 @Snapmaker U1 base (105 → 100)
- Fiberon PPS-GF20 @Snapmaker U1 base (105 → 100)
Bumps Snapmaker.json to 02.04.00.10.

* Extract Layer::choose_ironing_extruder for unit-testable ironing routing
The ironing extruder selection in make_ironing() was a 5-line nested
conditional inlined at the top of the loop, with no isolated test
coverage. Pull the gating into a static helper so the routing decision
is unit-testable without spinning up the slicing pipeline.
Pure refactor: the helper preserves the original logic bit-for-bit
(NoIroning -> -1; AllSolid always enabled; TopSurfaces and TopmostOnly
require some top shells or, in spiral mode, more than one bottom shell;
TopmostOnly additionally requires being on the topmost layer; enabled
ironing routes to solid_infill_filament).
Add tests/fff_print/test_choose_ironing_extruder.cpp covering:
- AllSolid regardless of layer position
- TopSurfaces with top_shell_layers > 0
- TopSurfaces with top_shell_layers=0 + spiral mode + bottom_shell_layers>1
- TopmostOnly + topmost layer
- NoIroning short-circuit
- TopSurfaces with top_shell_layers=0 (and not spiral) -> disabled
- TopSurfaces, spiral, but bottom_shell_layers=1 -> disabled
- TopmostOnly on a non-topmost layer -> disabled
* Move ironing routing test into the Fill subsystem file
Rename the test to tests/libslic3r/test_fill.cpp and tag it [Fill] to
match the subsystem it covers, use flat behavioral test cases with
GENERATE for the parameterized ones, and drop the history narration from
the code comments.
* tests: move ironing routing tests into fff_print/test_fill.cpp
Keeps the Fill tests in one file, alongside the existing ironing
rotation-template test.
Cover the two cache paths the first test left open: a vendor tree that fails to load is retried on the next resolution instead of being served from the cache, and a type-probed filament resolved through resolve_preset_config_type reuses the OrcaFilamentLibrary base already loaded for a sibling.
Resolving a system preset through its vendor manifest loaded the whole vendor tree and the filament library from JSON, and the CLI did that separately for every --load-settings and --load-filaments file. A run with machine, process and filament presets parsed BBL's 2,879 profile files and the library's 512 three times over, about a second each.
Keep the library and vendor bundles loaded by the manifest path on the PresetBundle that resolved them, keyed by source root, vendor and substitution rule, and have the CLI resolve every system preset through one bundle for the whole run. A failed load is not kept, so errors are reported as before.
On a cube slice with X1C machine, process and PLA presets: 2.42 s -> 0.93 s, BBL.json opened once instead of three times, identical G-code.
A valid mixed filament already slices the same on the CLI as in the GUI;
these are the places where the CLI still skipped a rule the GUI applies.
- Keep the prime tower when a mixed filament is used, even if every
--load-filaments preset is the same. A mixed filament swaps between its
components every layer, so turning the tower off left the swaps with
nothing to purge on.
- Leave a mixed slot's row and column of the flush matrix at zero when
--filament-colour triggers a recompute, as the GUI does; a mixed slot
never reaches a nozzle.
- Refuse a mixed slot that has no filament of its own. Feature filament
ids aimed at it were past the filament count, got reset to filament 1
and the model silently printed in one colour.
- Refuse a plate that uses a mixed filament whose components are
different filament types, the type half of the GUI's
Sidebar::has_broken_mixed_filament. Missing or out-of-range components
are already rejected for the whole project by validate().
get_extruders_under_cli gains an expand_mixed_slots flag so the gate
can see mixed slots rather than their components; existing callers
keep the expanded list.
Both refusals exit with the new CLI_MIXED_FILAMENT_INVALID (-69).
update_values_to_printer_extruders_for_multiple_filaments picks each
filament's value from the flattened (filament x variant) columns of every
per-filament variant option. When a column index fell past the end of the
option's values, it skipped that filament and left the zero the output
vector was created with.
The GUI always hands this function full columns, but the CLI does not:
- a CLI override of a single value, such as --nozzle-temperature=211 on a
four-filament project, came out as 211,0,0,0, so three filaments would
print at 0 C;
- loading fewer filament presets than the project has filaments left the
remaining filaments' columns missing, so filament_cooling_before_tower
came out as 10,10,0,0 and filament_ramming_volumetric_speed as -1,-1,0,0.
An out-of-range column now keeps the option's first value, the fallback
get_at() and the sibling gather step already use. The seven per-type copies
of the loop are replaced by that same gather_option_values helper, moved
above the function; it now takes its caller's name for its log lines. An
empty option, which has no first value, is given one registered default per
filament first; it used to be replaced with zeros.
On a partial load a filament whose preset was not loaded takes the first
filament's value rather than its own preset's, which the CLI does not load;
for the options seen in practice those agree.
Runs orca-test-repo's full override-sweep effect stage (two shards) and the GUI-vs-CLI parity harness every night against the latest successful build_all Linux AppImage, with sources checked out at that build's commit. Kept out of the per-build regression step, whose time budget it would exceed, and never gates a build.

Testing](https://www.orcaslicer.com/wiki/how_to_download_pr_artifacts)
* CLI: record command-line overrides in different_settings_to_system
Settings passed on the command line (--sparse-infill-density 25% ...) override
the loaded presets when m_extra_config is applied to m_print_config, but nothing
recorded them in different_settings_to_system. The exported project therefore
carried the new value with no mark that it was modified, and re-opening it in the
GUI reverted it to the system preset's value -- the same failure the preset-leaf
diff fixes for user presets, via a different source of override.
The key set comes from m_config, not m_extra_config. read_cli() puts only what the
user typed into m_config and setup() adds nothing but CLI-own defaults (none of
the keys run() materialises there is a preset option), whereas the CLI writes its
own values into m_extra_config (has_filament_switcher, filament_colour,
filament_map ...), which must not be reported as user overrides.
Values are snapshotted just before the apply and only keys the override actually
changed are recorded: a typed value equal to the loaded one modifies nothing, and
listing it would read as a spurious difference against what the GUI writes. Each
key lands in the column(s) whose preset type owns it -- process, every filament,
printer -- and a key already present is not duplicated. Keys no preset owns
(curr_bed_type, a project setting) land nowhere, as in the GUI.
Follow-up to #15595, split out at review.
* CLI: judge command-line overrides the way the value is read
Review follow-ups on the override recording:
- Lists were compared as whole serialized strings. read_cli() builds a fresh
one-entry list, so --nozzle-temperature 245 against 245,245,245 on a
three-filament project was recorded in every filament column although nothing
changed. Lists are now compared entry by entry with a missing entry read as the
first, as get_at() reads it (and as resize() pads).
- The log line fired for every changed key, including ones no preset owns
(curr_bed_type) and which therefore land in no column. It now fires only when a
column took the key.
- m_print_config.has(key) straight after apply(m_extra_config, true) was always
true, both configs sharing print_config_def; removed. columns.size() >= 2 also
always holds after the resize to filament_count + 2 -- different_settings_to_system
is not a CLI option, so nothing in between can shrink it -- but that rests on code
far away, so it stays a plain check rather than an assert: release builds compile
asserts out, and a _GLIBCXX_ASSERTIONS build would abort on columns[0].
Deliberately NOT done: comparing a key the loaded config lacks against its
built-in default. On reopen the GUI restores an unlisted key from the SYSTEM
preset, not the default. A 3MF written before an option existed leaves it absent
here, so --sparse-infill-density 20% (the default) against a Prusa system 15% would
go unrecorded and be reverted to 15%. Absent keys stay always-recorded:
over-recording is cosmetic, under-recording loses the value. Verified that such a
key really is absent at this point, rather than filled from the system preset.
Reported by HanifKoh and raistlin7447 in review of #15642.
* CLI: evaluate compatible_printers_condition in the compat checks
Slicing from the CLI with --load-settings exits with
CLI_PROCESS_NOT_COMPATIBLE (-17), "The selected printer is not compatible
with the process preset in the 3mf.", for process/printer pairs the GUI
accepts. Reproducible with stock, unmodified Prusa system profiles:
orca-slicer --datadir <datadir> \
--load-settings "<datadir>/system/Prusa/process/0.20mm SPEED @CORE One HF 0.4.json;<datadir>/system/Prusa/machine/Prusa CORE One HF 0.4 nozzle.json" \
--load-filaments "<datadir>/system/Prusa/filament/Prusament PETG @CORE One HF 0.4.json" \
--slice 0 --outputdir /tmp/out model.stl
The four compat checks in CLI::run did a literal name match against the
`compatible_printers` list only:
for (index ...) if (new_print_compatible_printers[index] == new_printer_system_name)
process_compatible = true;
Process profiles that declare compatibility through
`compatible_printers_condition` and leave `compatible_printers` empty are
therefore always reported incompatible -- the condition is never consulted.
For 0.20mm SPEED @CORE One HF 0.4 that condition is:
printer_notes=~/.*PRINTER_MODEL_COREONE[^_a-zA-Z0-9].*/ and
nozzle_diameter[0]==0.4 and printer_notes=~/.*HF_NOZZLE.*/
The GUI does not have this bug: is_compatible_with_printer() in Preset.cpp
treats an empty list as "no explicit constraint" and evaluates the
condition in that case.
Fix: replace the four loops with a check_compat lambda that calls
is_compatible_with_printer() -- the same helper the GUI uses -- wrapping
the already-loaded DynamicPrintConfigs in lightweight Preset /
PresetWithVendorProfile shells. The 3MF-embedded process/printer full
configs are kept in current_process_full_config /
current_printer_full_config so the condition can be evaluated for the
reprocess paths too; those fall back to the previous literal match when
the full config was not preserved.
Behaviour is unchanged where an explicit compatible_printers list exists:
is_compatible_with_printer() performs the same name match, and returns
true when both list and condition are empty, matching the existing
"old 3mf, no compatible printers, set to compatible" path.
Split out of #13731 (section 1) as a standalone, single-purpose change.
Orthogonal to the inherits-chain resolution work in #14718 / #15302 /
#15438; those decide which values a preset resolves to, this decides
whether the resulting pair is considered compatible.
* CLI: translate the 3MF's renamed compatibility keys before the compat check
The 3MF fallback fed the project config to is_compatible_with_printer() as-is,
but a project config does not carry compatible_printers or
compatible_printers_condition. PresetBundle::construct_full_config() erases both
and re-emits them as print_compatible_printers and
compatible_machine_expression_group; they are renamed back only on the
PresetBundle load path, which the CLI does not take. The check therefore saw no
list and no condition, read that as 'no constraint' and accepted every printer.
That is not just a wrong accept. An early true skips the !process_compatible
block that sets machine_switch, so the new printer is never appended to
print_compatible_printers and the exported 3MF stays marked compatible only with
the printer it came from -- which is exactly what that block exists to prevent.
Translate the two keys back before the check. Index 0 of the expression group is
the print preset; the group is filled print, filaments, printer.
Also note in the comment that profiles/BBL/{process,machine}_full/ are gitignored
and generated by nothing in-tree, so current_*_full_config is always empty and
this fallback is the only live path -- not the rare non-BBL case the original
comment implied.
Reported with measurements by HanifKoh in review of #15449.
Preset: add a config-level is_compatible_with_printer() overload
The CLI holds resolved DynamicPrintConfigs, not Presets, so it wrapped them in
throwaway Preset shells at the call site. Moving that into Preset.cpp puts the
compatibility policy -- including the documented fail-open on a malformed
compatible_printers_condition -- in one place for the GUI and the CLI, rather
than leaving a second copy of the plumbing in OrcaSlicer.cpp to drift.
Purely additive: neither existing overload changes, so no GUI behaviour moves.
Requested by HanifKoh in review of #15449.
(cherry picked from commit 14ca1972ef4d3c7d90935d159423013a40a6bd70)
* CLI: never overwrite a real compat key with an empty renamed one
7e7f0e3 translated compatible_machine_expression_group[0] into
compatible_printers_condition whenever the group vector was non-empty. A project
the CLI exported itself carries the real compatible_printers_condition AND an
all-empty group, ["", "", ""], so the valid condition was overwritten with
"", the check saw no constraint, and every printer was accepted.
That fixed GUI-shaped projects and broke CLI-shaped ones. Bisected across six
builds re-slicing one CLI-exported CORE One project with an MK4S: every build
before 7e7f0e3 gives 'compatible 0' and takes the machine-switch path; with it,
'compatible 1' and no switch.
The raw keys now win whenever they carry something; the renamed ones are only a
fallback, and an empty value is never written over a real one. Same for the list:
print_compatible_printers is used only when compatible_printers is absent or
empty and it itself is not.
Found by a peer session re-testing the installed build.
