Four of this fork's five absolute chrome coordinates were shifted by CHROME_DY when the
ladder was first brought up here (DESIGN_TAB, CONSTRUCTION_CHECKBOX, CON_BTN_Y,
CONFIRM_BTN). TREE_ROW0 was not, because it is declared above the CHROME_DY block and was
simply never in view.
The unshifted click lands 26 px below the first tree row, just past its 23 px height, so
the row is never selected and Delete does nothing. reset_document then spends 40 rounds on
it and dies with "could not empty the feature tree" — a message that names the feature
tree, which is not the fault. The same 26 px is why confirm_and_reopen's double-click did
not reopen the sketch, which surfaced as "sketch_describe: no sketch is open" three frames
away from the cause.
Measured, not inferred: the Sketch1 row centre reads y=241 on the rig at 1920x1080 with
the window at (0,0), against the constant's 215. CONFIRM_BTN was checked in the same pass
from a screenshot taken in CONSTRAIN mode and is correct at (1751, 101).
With this, the four new constraint rungs hold 20/20 on this fork's rig, driving the binary
built from 648b930e75 (BuildID 56417445) — so the DistanceX/Y fix ported here is now
exercised, not merely parity-checked.

Design-tab scripts
Everything here supports the parametric Design tab (src/libslic3r/CAD/,
src/slic3r/GUI/CAD/). Nothing here is needed to build or run OrcaSlicer — these
are the development and verification tools for that one feature.
The verb in the name is the role:
build-… |
produce a binary |
start-… |
bring something up and leave it running |
run-… |
run a suite and report pass/fail |
check-… |
one specific assertion, usually driving a live app |
Verification
| Script | What it proves | Needs |
|---|---|---|
run-kernel-tests.sh |
The CAD kernel builds and the Catch2 [CadDocument] tags pass — every case builds a document, recomputes it and asserts on real geometry. Exit 0 is the verification contract. |
Docker only. No display. |
run-all-checks.sh |
Every check below, in one command. The gate before pushing a Design-tab change. | Docker + the GUI container |
check-sketch-engine.py |
A ladder of 2D sketches of increasing complexity, judged on loop count, closure and void attribution rather than on area. | Kernel only |
check-sketch-engine-corpus.py |
The same ladder graded against a systematic sample of real drawings instead of shapes we chose. | Kernel + corpus |
check-gui-sketching.py |
The same profiles drawn the way a person draws them — synthetic mouse gestures and typed values. | Headless GUI |
check-gui-context-menu.py |
That right-click is the pivot of the design gesture, and adapts to what was clicked. | Headless GUI |
check-mcp-sketch.py |
The sketch layer driven over the MCP socket, asserting what decides whether a profile is buildable. | Headless GUI + SNAPORCA_MCP |
run-kernel-tests.sh is the only one CI can run. The rest need a live
application with an OpenGL canvas and synthetic input, which hosted runners do not
have. The kernel suite itself is already in CI by an ordinary route: the cases are
registered in tests/libslic3r/CMakeLists.txt under if (SLIC3R_CAD), so they are
part of libslic3r_tests and run under ctest on every platform like any other
unit test. This script exists for the local loop, where it is a two-minute round
trip instead of a full application build.
Build and run
| Script | Purpose |
|---|---|
build-gui.sh |
Build the GUI binary in a throwaway container, writing into the build-cache volume the long-lived GUI container reads. |
build-gui-incremental.sh |
Incremental build against the deps-baked image, for a fast edit/compile loop. |
start-headless-gui.sh |
Bring the app up on a headless X display (Xvfb + a window manager), ready to drive or attach to over VNC. |
Two constraints that are not obvious and have each cost a session:
- Never build inside the GUI container. Its baked source tree silently reconfigures the shared build directory and this fork's targets vanish.
- A window manager is required. Without one, windows are never focused, and an unfocused GTK app ignores synthetic keys — which looks exactly like a code bug.
docs/rig_build_traps.md documents these and three more, with symptoms and exact
recovery commands. Read it before debugging a configure or link failure one of
these scripts reports.
