CadFeature::save/load is append-only by contract, and ~20 planned features
each append fields. The existing roundtrip test cannot police that: it writes
and reads with the same code, so any self-consistent ordering passes. Only a
blob written by older code and stored on disk can detect that the format moved.
The first attempt at this test passed while the defect was present. I proved
it by swapping draft_face (int) with draft_angle (double) in both save() and
load() -- a genuine byte-layout change -- and it still reported 613 assertions,
exit 0. It asserted only derived geometry: body count, per-body volume, feature
types. The golden document had no Draft feature, so those fields sat at their
defaults, the reorder scrambled values nothing read, and the recomputed solids
came out byte-identical.
So the fixture now asserts the DATA, not what the data produces:
- make_golden_doc_v1() builds 22 features across 14 types (Draft, Shell,
Revolve, Pattern, Cut, Hole, Chamfer, Fillet, Extrude taper/symmetric,
Thread, Sweep, Loft, Boolean, Plane) with distinctive non-default literals
(draft_angle 7.25, shell_thickness 1.375, revolve_angle 217, pattern_count 5)
so a reorder produces visibly wrong values rather than swapped defaults.
- Layer 1 reads the committed blob with raw cereal and asserts field by field,
independent of recompute, so a geometry regression cannot mask a format break.
- Layer 2 keeps the geometry checks as a separate concern.
Verified to trip, twice, by deliberate breakage rather than by assertion:
draft_face <-> draft_angle -> draft_face reads 1075642368 (0x401d0000),
the high half of double 7.25
revolve_angle <-> revolve_axis -> revolve_angle reads 0.0, not 217.0
Both revert clean to 758 assertions / 30 cases.
Also scoped the "regenerate the fixture" hint to the feature-count check only.
It was in scope for every assertion in the block, so a detected reorder told
you to run [.regen] -- which would bake the corrupted layout in as the new
golden and permanently disarm the test. A guard must not advise disabling
itself.

Ported from snaporca f9e0f99bcb. The patch needed fuzz: this fork's copy of
test_caddocument.cpp carries a Catch2 v3 include, a `using Catch::Approx`, and
an extra [Deviation] case appended after line 1611 -- exactly where these hunks
land. Verified after applying: new symbols present, the [Deviation] case
intact, braces balanced, and only WithinAbs/WithinRel used (both exist in v3).
Compile and test verification here is CI, not local: this fork needs Eigen
5.0.1 while the local deps image ships 3.3.
Adds scripts/kernel-test.sh: build the libslic3r_tests target and run the CAD
kernel tags, exit code as the whole contract. Clean build 4m36s, incremental
18s, no display needed -- every [CadDocument] case builds a CadDocument,
recompute()s it and asserts on geometry.
Four things this had to get right, each found by it going wrong first:
- SLIC3R_GTK=3 and BUILD_TESTS=ON are mandatory. src/CMakeLists.txt turns
SLIC3R_GTK into 'wx-config --toolkit=gtk<N>', so omitting it asks for
toolkit "gtk", nothing matches, and configure dies with the thoroughly
misleading "Could NOT find wxWidgets" -- while wx-config sits right there
in the deps prefix, working. BUILD_TESTS=ON is what creates the target.
- Configure runs unconditionally. Guarding on "CMakeCache.txt exists" is
wrong because a FAILED configure writes that file too, after which the
guard skips reconfiguring forever and every later run silently reuses the
poisoned cache, ignoring corrected flags.
- A new build volume is always built clean. Cloning a warm cache from
another tree is a correctness trap: rsync preserves source mtimes, ninja
compares them against foreign object timestamps, concludes everything is
current and relinks stale objects. That produced a binary containing NO
[CadDocument] tests at all -- while exiting 0. A green run that tests
nothing is worse than a red one.
- --host builds where the deps image already lives, staged per volume so
parallel workers never share a tree.
The two [known-broken] tags: "entity constraints: tangent/midpoint/symmetric/
angle" aborts inside the vendored solver (slvs/dsc.h FindById, "Cannot find
handle"), and SIGABRT is fatal to the Catch2 process -- that single case took
the suite down at 12 of 31, so a green baseline was unreachable. The thread
groove case is a plain pre-existing assertion failure. Both are excluded from
the dev loop's default filter ONLY; ctest in CI still runs and reports them,
so neither bug is hidden. Baseline is now 603 assertions / 29 cases green,
which is what makes "I broke nothing" a meaningful statement.

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.

orca_cad's test_geometry.cpp is upstream Catch2 v3 with no CAD suite, so the
surface_deviation check lives alongside the CAD tests here. Built + ran green
in orca_cad's kernel-test docker: All tests passed (4 assertions). Both forks
now carry the test.

Port of the snaporca CAD work to the mainline fork.
- Onshape default planes (XY/XZ/YZ) at the bed centre (transparent, labelled);
modeling origin unified to the bed centre (CadDocument::modeling_origin);
world-axis triad moved to the bed centre on the Design canvas only.
- Datum plane: clickable ghost-plane base pick + draggable offset arrow.
- Slot: dims reassessed to inter-centre distance / radius / angle; fixed the
duplicate cap-arc radius quote.
- Hole: 3D cube move-handle on the face; binds to the face on the first click;
decluttered side-distance construction lines.
- Thread: derive the M spec (diameter/pitch/depth) from a picked cylindrical
surface or circular edge (GeometryEngine::circle_of_edge); fuse the helical
ridge onto the existing body; MakePipeShell fixed-binormal sweep (uniform, no
twist) + self-intersection/param guards.

Mirror of snaporca-cad a82cb0d. snaporca-88g — three [CadDocument] tests
proving recompute() replays the whole timeline, so editing any feature (not
just the last) rebuilds downstream: mid-timeline extrude edit -> fillet
rebuilds; first-feature sketch edit propagates the chain; the same survives
serialize_recipe()/deserialize_recipe(); a sketch->extrude->hole->chamfer
chain rebuilds hole+chamfer on a mid-edited extrude. All 3 pass (34 assertions,
Catch2 v3). on_edit_feature edits the tree-selected feature at any position
(13/16 types); Import/Boolean/Cut get a status message instead of a silent
no-op (full dialogs = follow-up snaporca-nu9).

Dual-fork mandate: port the parametric-recipe 3MF persistence from
snaporca-cad commits ed19eac+147e1c4 so a saved project reopens with the
editable CAD feature tree, not just the baked mesh.
Shared kernel/format/GUI (identical to snaporca-cad):
- CadDocument serialize_recipe/deserialize_recipe (cereal BinaryArchive,
versioned) + CadFeature split save/load + imported_solid<->BRep string.
- Model::cad_recipe carried through 3MF zip entry Metadata/SnapOrca_cad.bin
(writer + binary-verbatim reader branch).
- DesignPanel on_commit() stamps the recipe; on_tab_shown() rehydrates a
loaded project via load_recipe() (deserialize -> feed_bodies + refresh_tree).
Mainline-only adapters (no snaporca-cad counterpart — Catch2 v3 vs v2):
- tests/libslic3r/test_caddocument.cpp: <catch2/catch_all.hpp> +
`using Catch::Approx;` (v3 scopes Approx under Catch::).
- tests/libslic3r/CMakeLists.txt: register test_caddocument.cpp (the
original CAD port had left it out of the test build).
Verified on behemoth (snaporca-deps toolchain): libslic3r_tests clean;
[CadDocument] 17/18 (only the pre-existing tangent-to-circle SIGABRT fails,
identical to snaporca-tkz); K1 serialize round-trip + version-reject pass
(13 assertions); new [3mf] "CAD recipe blob survives a 3mf save/load cycle"
passes byte-for-byte; orca-slicer GUI links clean (186/186, DesignPanel.cpp
compiled). Interactive :10 click-through pending (no Design-tab automation).
