Port of snaporca 2d36d28770. Parity OK: 17 files identical, 8 diverging at their expected counts. infer_axis_constraint returned only Horizontal or Vertical. On the CAD-1000-hours corpus the top two transitions are sketch_dim -> sketch_draw (5896) and back (5756): the signature of geometry that does not self-constrain as it is drawn. Every rule requires the relation to be ALREADY TRUE within tolerance, so nothing the user drew is moved; parallel/perpendicular and tangent additionally require a shared endpoint. TWO LIMITS THE CORPUS RUNG FORCED, neither visible to the unit tests: 1. At most ONE constraint per rule per new entity, not one per PAIR, and no one-at-a-time fallback for the relations batch. EqualRadius has no locality restriction, so 200 equal holes produced ~20000 candidates; the rejected batch then cost a solve per constraint and pinned the app at 95% of a core with the MCP socket unresponsive. 2. Relations only for gesture-sized batches. "A scripted add is not a drawn gesture" is already this file's rule at its bulk call site (snaporca-8xg1), and EqualRadius also couples geometrically distant entities, merging independent connected components and defeating the partitioning that makes large sketches solvable (snaporca-yww4). With the cap alone geometry stayed correct (32/32 sheets clean) but seven of the largest timed out, including MPD681 -- the sheet that call site's own comment names. Also fixes the tolerance leak behind 2: the bulk path asks for exact inference with ang_tol_rad = 0 but len_tol_frac kept its 0.01 default. ALSO independent of this feature: run-kernel-tests.sh defaulted to TAGS=[CadDocument] while four CAD test files carry their own tags and nothing selected them (2624 assertions / 206 cases reported, 7648 / 264 actual). All 58 dark cases were passing; the coverage was never exercised. VERIFICATION LIMIT, as with the previous three commits: this fork's kernel suite still cannot run (find_package(assimp) at configure time, snaporca-w80c). Shared sources are byte-identical to snaporca's, where kernel is 7651 assertions / 265 cases and ALL LADDERS HELD 7/7.
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.
