Clifford GarwoodandClaude Opus 5 b6a2c76e5d Share the prime-tower rule with the slicer instead of copying it
imex_wipe_tower_hull() open-coded "does this plate print a tower?" as one
filament and no forcing reason. normalize_fdm_2, which is what actually
clears enable_prime_tower before slicing, has a second arm the copy omitted,
and reads the mixed-filament flag project-wide where the copy read the
plate. Two cases went wrong in opposite directions.

A ByObject plate with several objects prints no tower and the scene draws
none, yet the copy validated one and could refuse the slice with "the prime
tower overlaps an area reserved for IDEX/IQEX parallel printing" - with
nothing on screen to move.

A plate using one plain slot while some other slot in the project is a blend
does print a tower, because normalize_fdm_2 keeps it for any mixed filament
in the project, and the copy skipped validation entirely, so the tower could
be placed in a carriage zone and sliced.

prime_tower_is_printed() in libslic3r states the rule once, and both the
gate and a test use it. The counts are the ones normalize_fdm_2 is handed:
filament slots as authored, so a mixed slot counts once, and distinct
objects rather than instances. filament_is_mixed is a project option, so it
is passed in rather than read from the print preset.

The test drives every combination the rule looks at and compares the verdict
against normalize_fdm_2 itself, so the two cannot drift again without
failing.

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.
