A boolean cut whose tool misses the target is a perfectly legal
operation: OCCT reports IsDone(), the shape comes back unchanged, and the
feature lands in the recipe reporting ok:true. Driving the MCP socket,
that produced two consecutive {ok: true, bodies: 1, error: ''} responses
for a hole that was never drilled -- same viewport, same 46939.11 mm3 --
and the tree grew two Hole features that will never cut anything. A
caller, an agent especially, has no signal at all that the thing it asked
for did not happen.
Measure the volume across the op in route_feature's in-place branch and
refuse the no-op. Only for removals: Hole, Thread, and Extrude / Revolve
/ Sweep / Loft in Cut mode. Everything else may legitimately leave the
volume alone -- a Transform certainly does. The tolerance is relative,
because an absolute epsilon is wrong across the mm-to-metre range of real
parts, and a cut that shaves a numerically invisible sliver is a miss
too. The existing rollback in the MCP actions already preserves the
reason, so a missed hole now answers ok:false with the error and undoes
the feature.
The confusion underneath was not itself a bug: hole's x/y are in the
sketch plane's frame, whose origin is describe_scene's modeling_origin,
and describe_tools documented them only as "number, unit mm". Passing the
world centre put the hole 135 mm clear of the solid. All six x/y params
on hole / hole_styled / hole_standard now say which frame they are in,
since the wrong guess was silent.
Regression test drives the reported failure directly: a hole at x=135 on
a 20x20x20 box is rejected and leaves the body untouched, the same hole
at the origin still removes exactly pi*4^2*20, and a cut-mode extrude
whose profile sits at x=200 is rejected too. 152 cases / 2083 assertions
green on both forks.

Two defects found while driving the tools that Phase B wired but nobody had
exercised yet.
apply_project had no all-edges branch: with no face picked and no explicit
edge list it threw "no edges or face selected". That is precisely the state
the Project card opens in, and its label reads "(all edges)" — so the card's
default could never be confirmed. It now projects every edge of the source
body. Edges perpendicular to the target plane collapse to a point when
projected, so segments whose endpoints coincide are dropped instead of being
emitted as zero-length lines that would poison the sketch downstream.
The second defect is why the first one was invisible. 29 of the 31 rollback
sites in McpControl ran `if (!ok) doc.undo();`, and undo() recomputes the
restored feature list — which succeeds and clears doc.error. Every failing
command therefore reported `error: ""`. Yesterday's fix covered 2 sites and I
treated the file as done; it was not. All 31 now capture the reason before
the rollback and restore it after. Failures that read as `""` now read as
"rib: bad entity" / "surface-revolve: revolve failed".
Verified on the running GUI through the control socket: the Project call that
previously returned ok:false now returns ok:true, and failures carry a reason.

checkpoint() snapshotted `features` and undo() restored `features`, but
`variables` is a separate member of CadDocument. Every caller of the documented
checkpoint -> mutate -> recompute -> undo-on-failure pattern therefore failed to
roll a variable back: the bad value stayed in the document and every later
recompute failed, which is exactly the corruption the pattern exists to prevent.
Feature `expr` bindings were unaffected only because expr lives inside
CadFeature and rode along in the features snapshot — which is why the feature
side appeared to work.
This was a kernel gap, not a GUI one: McpControl::action_set_variable has the
same sequence and was equally broken.
The undo/redo stacks now hold a {features, variables} Snapshot. Nothing here is
serialized, so no recipe version change and no golden-fixture regeneration.
Two tests, both verified to FAIL against a faithful reproduction of the bug
(undo() leaving `variables` untouched) at test_caddocument.cpp:4420 and :4441:
one covers restoring a variable's previous value, the other covers removing a
variable that did not exist before the checkpoint. Worth recording that the
first mutation attempt was NOT faithful — it dropped the restore but kept
std::move(variables) into the redo stack, which empties the map as a side effect
and made the second test pass for the wrong reason. A mutation has to reproduce
the original defect, not merely break the code.
Second defect, same area: undo() calls recompute(), which succeeds and clears
doc.error, so the reason an edit was rejected was destroyed before anything
could display it. Six sites — four in DesignPanel, two in McpControl — now carry
the message across the rollback. on_remove_variable additionally asserted
"referenced by a feature expression" as fact; it now offers that as the likely
cause and appends the real error, since that diagnosis is wrong for any other
failure.

check_interference(min_volume) reports every pair of solid bodies whose
intersection encloses more than min_volume, as {body_a, body_b, volume}. It
reports only — no geometry is mutated, so calling it cannot disturb mates or
placements. Read-only at the MCP surface too: no checkpoint, no recompute.
Sheet bodies are skipped up front: an intersection involving one encloses no
volume, so the boolean would be wasted work. Bodies that merely touch share a
face and enclose nothing, so face-to-face contact is not an interference.
A boolean that fails on one pair must not lose the report for every other pair,
so each pair is guarded — and OCCT raises Standard_Failure, which is not a
std::exception and would otherwise escape.
No new serialized fields, no recipe bump: this reads `bodies`, which is
recompute output and was never serialized.
No separate MCP listing for instances and mates: describe_scene already emits
the feature tree, and Mate has rendered there correctly since M8a fixed
feature_type_name.
Tests assert the exact overlap volume (20*20*4 = 1600 mm^3), both negative cases
(clearly apart, and exact face contact), that sheets are skipped, that the
min_volume gate silences a real overlap, and that a clash created by a Fastened
mate is detected — which ties the M8b placement work to this report.

Each kind constrains the DOFs it owns and PRESERVES the rest from the body's
current pose, following the pattern Planar established in M8a. Resolved instead
as "Fastened with a parameter", all three would have been geometrically
identical to Fastened — relabelling rather than behaviour.
Revolute fixes position on the axis line; rotation about it survives
Slider fixes orientation and perpendicular position; axial position survives
Cylindrical fixes the axis line only; rotation and axial position both survive
No new serialized fields, no recipe bump, no fixture regeneration: mate_kind is
already an int and mate_offset / mate_angle already exist.
The minimum-rotation z-alignment (including the antiparallel 180 deg case fixed
in M8a) is now a shared make_z_align lambda rather than a second copy.
Fixes a rotation-about-pivot bug found by the no-op tests: R_full was built as a
rotation about the origin with a translation to oB appended, instead of a proper
rotation about oB (translation = oB - R*oB). It moved bodies that were already
correctly placed, and accounted for three of the seven initially failing cases.
Testing notes, both of which cost real debugging time here:
- Mates are defined on connector FRAMES, but the convenient thing to measure is
CentreOfMass(), and the two coincide only when the body is symmetric about its
connector. Five expectations in this milestone asserted the centroid while
meaning the connector. These tests assert on the mated face's centroid.
- A CoordSys built from a face ALONE takes its z from the face normal (which
follows the body) but its x from coordsys_x_hint, a world constant. Such a
frame cannot see rotation about its own normal, so no mate can correct or
preserve a spin it does not encode. The Slider and Cylindrical rotation tests
pin coordsys_edge to an edge of their own body; without that both passed
vacuously, one of them for a wrong implementation.
The Cylindrical rotation test was verified to fail when its mate kind is mutated
to Slider, and the Slider test failed at axis_aligned == 2 before the connectors
were edge-pinned. Neither is green by accident.
Known wart: mate_angle is silently ignored for Slider, whose rotation is fully
constrained. Defensible but undiagnosed at the API surface.

An assembly is a multi-body document. An instance is already expressible as
Transform with xf_copy=true, and a mate connector is already a CoordSys
feature, so this adds exactly one feature type: Mate.
No constraint solver. A mate rigidly transforms the body carrying connector B
so that B's frame lands on connector A's, applied in feature order like every
other feature. Chains resolve by composition; closed kinematic loops do not
converge (last mate wins) and are out of scope.
The vendored SolveSpace in src/libslic3r/slvs/ was evaluated for 3D extension
and rejected: it is built and linked but has zero callers, and SketchEngine's
solver is hand-rolled. Extending it would mean adopting a dependency to write
more code than the alternative.
- CadFeatureType::Mate appended; six fields (mate_kind, mate_cs_a, mate_cs_b,
mate_offset, mate_angle, mate_flip) appended at the END of both cereal lists
- SNAPORCA_CAD_RECIPE_VERSION 2 -> 3; v2 blobs are rejected, as by design there
is no migration path. Golden fixture renamed to cad_recipe_v3.bin and
regenerated once, extended with two CoordSys + one Mate so the new fields are
tripwired by the field-order assertions
- datum_frame() extracted from resolve_datum_coordsys() so a mate can resolve
its connectors against the in-progress bodies vector during replay
- apply_mate dispatched early-return, so Mate is deliberately absent from
starts_new (unreachable for that dispatch style)
- Planar: the degenerate branch splits on the sign of zB.z_target — antiparallel
needs a 180 deg rotation about a perpendicular axis, which an earlier revision
silently skipped, leaving the body's normal inverted
- MCP: mate command, named bare to match the other 38 methods
Drive-by: feature_type_name() was missing Mirror, ThickenSurface, SurfaceOffset,
SurfaceLoft and SurfaceFill, which reported as "Unknown" to MCP clients.

The two remaining ways to create a sheet body. SurfaceLoft skins 2+ profile

Split-by-face reuses the existing Cut feature rather than adding a new type:
two appended fields (cut_face_body, cut_face) let apply_cut derive the cut
plane from a picked face via SketchPlane::from_face when cut_face >= 0,
otherwise it keeps using the base `plane`. cut_offset / cut_flip still apply
along the derived normal, so the same square-wire split machinery handles
both cases. add_split_by_face() is the convenience entry point; MCP gains a
`split` method (body / face_body / face / keep_upper / keep_lower).
Serialization stays append-only — cut_face_body, cut_face appended to

Until now move and rotate lived only in the GUI as m_body_xform, a display
transform. That made them a correctness hole, not a missing tool: a moved body
recomputed and booleaned at its ORIGINAL position, and the move was not in the
recipe at all, so it vanished on save/reload. Only export_step consulted the
transform, which is why the discrepancy stayed hidden.
CadFeatureType::Transform makes it a real feature: rotate angle_deg about
xf_axis through xf_pivot, then translate by xf_translate, applied to the target
body with BRepBuilderAPI_Transform. xf_copy=true keeps the source and appends
the transformed body instead of mutating in place, which covers Onshape's
Transform/copy in the same feature.
Rotation is composed before translation (trsf = tr * rot) so the pivot means
what a user expects — the point the body turns about, not a point that then
drifts with the translation. A rotation with a degenerate axis is refused
rather than silently skipped; a zero angle skips the rotation entirely so a
pure move needs no axis at all.
The decisive test is not the bbox arithmetic but "moved body participates in a
later boolean at its new position": two coincident boxes, one moved to partial
overlap, fused. The fused volume must be strictly greater than one box (the
move took effect in the kernel) and strictly less than both (they still
intersect). With a display-only transform the first assertion fails.
Serialization stays append-only; recipe version unchanged at 2. Golden fixture
regenerated with a GoldenTransform feature carrying distinctive literals so a
field reorder shows up as obviously wrong values. Also fills in the Helix arm
of feature_type_name(), missing since the helix commit.
Kernel suite 51 -> 57 cases, 985 -> 1054 assertions, green.

Adds CadFeatureType::Helix — the missing input for Sweep. Sweep already
existed but could only follow a sketch, so springs, coils, augers and
non-standard-pitch threads were unreachable. Helix + the existing Sweep now
gives all of them with no further work.
Built the OCCT way: a 2D line on a Geom_CylindricalSurface (Geom_ConicalSurface
when helix_taper_deg != 0) turned into an edge and lifted to 3D with
BRepLib::BuildCurves3d — a true analytic helix, not a sampled polyline, so a
swept spring is smooth rather than faceted. The axis is the plane normal
through the plane origin, matching how Revolve and Plane already work.
Sweep's path resolution is widened to accept either a Sketch (unchanged
behaviour) or a Helix, and rejects anything else with a clear error. Helix
itself is skipped in route_feature and recompute — like the datum features, it
produces no body and exists to be consumed.
Invalid input is refused rather than approximated: non-positive radius or
pitch, negative height, a turn count above 10000 (which would hang OCCT), and
a taper that would drive the radius negative before reaching the top all fail
with a specific error.
Serialization: helix_radius/pitch/height/left_handed/taper_deg appended at the
very end of both save and load, identical order, after the coordsys block.
SNAPORCA_CAD_RECIPE_VERSION stays 2; Helix is appended to the end of
CadFeatureType. Golden fixture regenerated with distinctive literals and
field-value assertions; all pre-existing assertions pass unchanged.
Tests assert analytic values. The one that actually proves it is a helix and
not a circle or a spiral: arc length of r=5 pitch=2 height=10 measured with
BRepGProp::LinearProperties against 5*sqrt((2*pi*5)^2 + 2^2), WithinRel 1e-3.
Plus bounding box (2r in X and Y, height in Z), the conical top radius, the
left-handed winding compared at equal parameter, and the integration test:
a circle r=1.5 swept along a 5-turn helix gives one valid solid of ~1115 mm^3
(WithinRel 0.1 — pipe sweeping is not exact).
MCP: `helix` method registered in describe_tools().
Ported from snaporca 6cdc6b5459. Two fork-specific adjustments: the two new
error-message assertions use Catch2 v3's ContainsSubstring (v2's Contains does
not exist here), and the golden fixture is copied rather than regenerated
because this fork cannot be compiled locally — make_golden_doc_v1() is
byte-identical across both forks, so the blob is provably the same.

Adds CadFeatureType::Axis and ::CoordSys — reference geometry that produces
no solid, modelled on the existing Plane datum feature.
Axis construction methods (AxisType): TwoPoints, FaceNormal,
CylinderCenterline, PlaneIntersection, AlongEdge. The centreline case is the
useful one: it gives a real axis through an existing hole or boss.
Coordinate systems (CoordSysType): PointWorld and FaceAndDirection. The
latter Gram-Schmidts the picked references, so the stored frame is
orthonormal even when the user's X hint is not perpendicular to the face
normal; the third axis is derived by cross product rather than stored, so it
cannot drift out of sync.
Revolve and pattern are deliberately NOT rewired to consume these — this
commit adds the reference geometry only and changes no existing behaviour.
Serialization: all axis_*/coordsys_* fields appended at the very end of both
CadFeature::save and load, identical order, after mirror_keep_original.
SNAPORCA_CAD_RECIPE_VERSION stays 2; Axis and CoordSys are appended to the
end of CadFeatureType so existing type ordinals are unchanged. Golden fixture
regenerated with distinctive non-default literals and field-value assertions
for every new field; all pre-existing assertions pass unchanged.
Tests assert analytic values: two-point axis direction exactly +Z with unit
length, cylinder centreline collinear with Z and on the true axis, parallel
planes fail cleanly, and the Gram-Schmidt frame is orthonormal to 1e-9 with
X x Y == Z. Degenerate input (identical points) fails with a non-empty error
rather than producing NaNs.
MCP: `axis` and `coordsys` methods registered in describe_tools().
Ported from snaporca 242d4efecb. The golden fixture is copied rather than
regenerated because this fork cannot be compiled locally (Eigen 5.0.1 vs the
build image's 3.3); make_golden_doc_v1() is byte-identical across both forks,
so the two fixtures are provably the same blob.

Adds CadFeatureType::Mirror: reflect a target body about a plane using
gp_Trsf::SetMirror + BRepBuilderAPI_Transform. BooleanMode::New keeps the
mirrored copy as its own body (mirror_keep_original decides whether the
source survives); BooleanMode::Add fuses it back into the source, so an
overlapping mirror does not double-count volume.
Serialization: mirror_keep_original is appended at the very end of both
CadFeature::save and load (append-only contract). The mirror plane reuses
the existing `plane` member and the body selector reuses `target_body`,
as Cut already does. Golden fixture regenerated at the current
SNAPORCA_CAD_RECIPE_VERSION = 2; the existing field-value assertions all
still pass unchanged, and the reorder tripwire was re-verified after
regeneration (swapping draft_face/draft_angle in `load` alone still
fails the golden test).
Tests assert analytic values: mirrored volumes equal (8000 each) with the
reflected centroid, Add on a non-overlapping asymmetric body gives exactly
2x volume, Add across an intersecting plane gives strictly less than 2x,
and an invalid body index fails cleanly with a non-empty error.

Port of snaporca c2821af783. New GeometryEngine::mass_properties over BRepGProp
(separate VolumeProperties/SurfaceProperties), bounds-checked
CadDocument::body_mass_properties, and a mass_properties MCP method. Query-only:
no CadFeature, no serialization, no version change. Analytic tests
(WithinRel/WithinAbs): cube 8000/2400/COM(0,0,10)/inertia 533333, cylinder
500pi/300pi, hollow = solid-500pi, invalid index -> valid=false.

query_topology: indexing a body face-by-face was quadratic — face_by_index
re-walks the explorer and edge_by_index rebuilds the whole indexed map on every
single call. On a 15.7k-face / 25.6k-edge imported solid this blew past the
MCP 15 s main-thread timeout with the UI frozen throughout. GeometryEngine
gains faces_of()/edges_of(), which enumerate once in the very same order (ids
stay interchangeable with the _by_index accessors, so fillet/up_to_face targets
are unaffected). Measured on that body: 15 s timeout -> 0.46 s.
Feature ops: every commit-time m_doc.recompute() (fillet, cut, shell, boolean,
extrude, ...) now goes through recompute_guarded(), which runs the rebuild on a
worker thread. Live-preview/drag paths stay inline on purpose — yielding inside
a drag would be worse than the stall.
run_off_ui_thread(): the progress dialog is now created only after 300 ms, so a
fast op does not flash a dialog, while input stays blocked (wxWindowDisabler)
for the whole operation since the worker owns the document.

Opening an STL/OBJ in the Design pane now rebuilds it into a real OCCT B-rep
solid that the face/edge feature tools can operate on, instead of a print mesh.
GeometryEngine::mesh_to_brep is a native C++ port of mesh2step
(github.com/tommasobbianchi/mesh2step): vertices and edges are shared across
triangles at construction time (vertex cache by deduped index, edge cache by
unordered index pair), so no BRepBuilderAPI_Sewing pass is needed to rebuild the
topology afterwards, and watertightness falls out of the edge-usage counts for
free. An open mesh is returned as a shell and reported as such — never dressed up
as a fake solid.
It runs in-process on the OCCT kernel libslic3r already links, so no STEP file is
written or re-read. That is not an optimisation but the whole point: a faceted
STEP of a 62k-triangle mesh is ~149 MB and OCCT's STEPControl_Reader takes >300 s
to parse it back, so routing this through a file would hang the GUI.
Coplanar neighbours are merged (ShapeUpgrade_UnifySameDomain, 5° default) so the
body arrives with pickable CAD faces rather than one face per triangle — on the
20,656-triangle test part that is 20,614 faces down to 4,784. Without it the
import is technically a solid but nothing you can meaningfully fillet or extrude.
- Design pane: "Import mesh" button + Shift+M; warns above 50k triangles.
- MCP: import_mesh {path, tolerance, merge_angle_deg}, returning the full
conversion stats so a caller can tell an honest solid from an open shell.
- Catch2: cube round-trip (exact volume, 12 faceted faces, 6 after merge), open
mesh stays a shell, and the scale-independent sliver rule that a naive
area < tolerance^2 test would get wrong.
Verified end-to-end on the real 20,656-triangle ir3v2 hotend STL: reproduces
mesh2step's Python run exactly (20,614 kept, 42 degenerate, 0 boundary edges,
2 non-manifold edges, not watertight) and the resulting body's bbox matches the
one FreeCAD reports for the same part.

Reconstruction is no longer box-only. Five new actions, all thin
wrappers over existing CadDocument::add_* (the same kernel the GUI
calls): revolve (sketch -> add_revolve), fillet/chamfer targeted at a
measured edge id from query_topology, hole (add_hole), and boolean
(union/subtract/intersect over two bodies). extrude and revolve also
accept an optional closed profile=[[x,y],...] -> add_sketch_profile,
the Measure->Build bridge: feed a measured/sliced contour straight back.
Shared helpers plane_from / bool_from / profile_from. Each action is
transactional (checkpoint -> add -> recompute -> undo on failure ->
refresh) and returns post-state. Live-verified: fillet, chamfer (clean
edge), hole, profile-extrude (L), revolve (ring), boolean union (3->2
bodies). MCP method catalogue now 13.

Add the Build-input and Validate ends of the reverse-engineering loop.
import_step loads a STEP as native B-rep bodies (the reference part to
measure), reusing the GUI Import path (read_step_solids -> Import
features -> recompute). validate_against compares a body to a reference
({step:path} | {body:id}) and reports volume delta %, bbox delta, and
centroid offset via OCCT GProp + Bnd_Box — the RE skill's actual
acceptance metric (the "scarto %"); surface-deviation heat-map is the
upgrade path.
With this the full Understand -> Measure -> Build -> Validate loop is
live: 8 methods (describe_tools/describe_scene/query_topology/measure/
slice_body/import_step/validate_against/extrude). Verified: import a STEP
then validate body vs same STEP = 0.0%% delta / 0.0mm offset.

The "evidence" half of the reverse-engineering loop — read-only
perception that turns a body into measured numbers. query_topology
lists faces (centroid/normal, cylinder radius+axis when round) and
edges (length, circle radius); measure returns distance (and angle when
both refs have a direction) between two {face|edge|point} refs;
slice_body cross-sections a body by a base plane at an offset and
returns world polylines (sections-as-evidence). All reuse GeometryEngine
topology accessors; slice_body adds one BRepAlgoAPI_Section call.

Predispose the Design tab to run under an external MCP agent. New
McpControl.{cpp,hpp} embeds a line-delimited JSON-RPC 2.0 server over a
Unix domain socket, off unless env SNAPORCA_MCP is set. Requests are
marshalled onto the wx main thread and run through the SAME CadDocument
kernel the GUI uses, via two thin DesignPanel hooks (mcp_doc /
mcp_after_change) — no parallel engine.
Slice-1 methods: describe_tools (introspection -> the bridge builds tool
schemas), describe_scene (feature tree + per-body bounding boxes), and
extrude (centred rectangle sketch -> new solid). Every op returns its
full post-state. POSIX-only; Windows compiles to a no-op.
