Tommaso BianchiandClaude Opus 5 cbbd24dcb4 Port the exact loop area, the offset traversal fix, and the 2D sketch ladder
Carries snaporca 572f794c84, d0f9a0052a, 9f7e4e3627 and 3974f8a170. Parity holds: 17 files
identical, 8 diverging by their expected counts.

EXACT AREA. A loop's area is now integrated entity by entity in traversal order — Green's
theorem — instead of being shoelaced over the render polyline, which faceted every arc into 24
chords and lost 2.02 mm2 on a 3706.86 mm2 stadium. 0.054%, invisible on screen, and wrong in a
number reported as "the area".

OFFSET FOLLOWS THE TRAVERSAL. Offsetting a mirrored profile put one half on the wrong side and
split the loop in two, because the chainer only followed p1->p0 links and each entity's offset
side was taken from its stored direction. Chains are now orientation-aware, seeded at a free end,
offset by `reversed ? -d : d`, and normalised head-to-tail on the way out — so offset is correct
for any input ordering and its own output cannot reintroduce the problem.

Both are the same underlying lesson, which has now cost three separate defects: an entity's
STORED direction is not its direction of TRAVEL around the loop.

THE LADDER. scripts/sketch-ladder.py is a graded suite of 2D sketches judged the way a person
judges them — VERTEX, LENGTH, ARC, TANGENT, SYMMETRY, CLOSED — with area only as a cross-check,
because area is derived and nobody can confirm it by eye. Eight rungs from a rectangle up to
MPD5 from the StudyCadCam corpus, a dia 27 x 95 pin reproduced as its revolve half-profile with
the R5 fillet tangency solved exactly. Entirely 2D: no extrude or any solid feature.

Kernel here: all tests passed, 2681 assertions in 231 test cases, including the new
"profile: a mirrored half offsets as one loop, not two". GUI target builds and links.
