ExPikaPakaandSoftFever 39c77325ce Carry existing colour across a bake instead of reindexing it (#16392)
* Carry existing colour across a bake instead of reindexing it

Baking, painting colour, then baking again left colour debris on surfaces
nothing had painted and destroyed what the earlier bake had laid down.

TextureDisplacementBakeJob::finalize() deserialized the volume's pre-bake
mmu_segmentation_facets into a TriangleSelector built on the post-bake mesh,
on the assumption that the bake is topology-preserving. That holds for the
classic path, which moves vertices and leaves the topology alone, but not for
the one-run pipeline, which rebuilds the mesh. TriangleSelector::deserialize()
only checks that the stored triangle ids are in range, and a bake almost
always grows the triangle count, so every stale id passed that check and
landed on an unrelated face.

Measured on a 26 mm slab baked twice at 0.19 mm with a 750 k budget: 7580
triangles ended up carrying paint neither bake produced, as far as 31 mm from
any colour that was actually laid down, while the first pass's colour was lost
where the second bake left the surface alone.

TriangleSelector::remap_painting() already transfers paint between meshes by
position, and ModelVolume::restore_painting() uses it for the same reason, so
the bake job now uses it too. It runs in process(), on the worker thread: it
builds an AABB tree over both meshes and took around a second on the case
above, which would have frozen the UI in finalize(). The bake's own colour is
still applied last, so it wins where it painted and the rest is kept, which is
what makes successive bakes accumulate rather than overwrite. If the volume is
painted while the bake is running, a timestamp check falls back to the live
mask so that stroke is not dropped.

The out_triangle comment in TextureColorRequest claimed the bake is
topology-preserving, which is what justified the original indexing; it now
says which mesh the colours belong to.

The regression test bakes twice, checks both results are closed, and checks
the first bake's colour survives the second at the positions where it was
laid down and nowhere else.

* Carry the paint across with transfer_facet_paint

The branch used TriangleSelector::remap_painting(), which pairs a source
paint triangle with a target triangle overlapping it to within
TriangleCursor::tolerance. That is right after a remesh, which leaves the
surface where it was, and wrong after a bake, which has moved it by the
relief depth - most of the paint finds no partner. transfer_facet_paint()
asks the other question: every triangle of the new mesh takes the state
painted at its foot point on the old one, which is exactly where it came
from however deep the relief.

It also does all four paint channels rather than colour alone, and it runs
where the volume is read, so the snapshot and the timestamp that guarded
against the user painting while the bake ran are no longer needed: the
annotation is read at commit time and is by definition current.

The function and its call site are byte for byte what the model-UV branch
carries, so the two merge in any order and in either order produce one
mechanism rather than two fighting over mmu_segmentation_facets. The
regression test is unchanged except for the call it makes.

OrcaSlicer tests

Building, running and writing tests is documented on the wiki, under How to Test.

Two files here rather than there, because coding agents only read what is in the repository:

  • AGENTS.md is the same guidance in short form, and is what an agent working under tests/ picks up.
  • CATCH2.md is the Catch2 reference, including the mistakes that break a test at runtime.
