Tommaso BianchiandClaude Opus 5 df6ef85614 Un-quarantine the internal-thread test: the geometry was right, the test was not
snaporca-kzy was filed as "internal thread cuts too little material". It does
not. Measured on the test's own fixture, a 40x40x20 box:

  plain Ø12 bore   removes 2261 mm3
  internal thread  removes 2157 = 1571 (minor bore) + 586 (groove)

apply_thread bores at the MINOR radius (radius - depth = 5) and then carves the
groove out to radius + depth = 7. A tapped hole therefore keeps the crests
between turns and holds MORE material than a plain clearance hole at the
nominal radius — which is what every real tapped hole does. The test asserted
the opposite, so it was asking for something physically wrong and had been
quarantined for it since it was written.

One hypothesis discarded on the way: that the shortfall was a tessellation
artefact, since chords on a helical surface undercut a concave bore. Exact
BRepGProp::VolumeProperties agreed with the tessellated volume to within
2.5 mm3, so that was not it and is not offered as a hedge.

The reference is now the tap-drill bore the thread actually starts from (Ø10),
against which the groove's 586 mm3 is the meaningful quantity — that is what
"the thread cuts" means. Test re-tagged [CadDocument][thread], so CI covers the
thread path again instead of skipping it.

Also documented the (void)internal in make_thread_profile. It reads like a bug
and is not: the V is the same shape either way and the caller decides, fusing
it onto a shaft or cutting it out of a wall. Someone "fixing" it to point
inward for the internal case would make the groove sweep already-empty bore
space and cut nothing — the exact failure the old comment described.

Suite 148 cases / 2035 assertions, with this test now among them.

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.
