A group is now a set of pallets shown together, stacked top to bottom,
and an edge shows one group at a time. The icon strip lists every group
(grip bar over its pallets' icons, the shown group on a grey
background); clicking any icon of a group shows that whole group.
- Dropping a pallet on the top / bottom half of a pallet in the shown
group stacks it above / below; dropping on the strip's icons places it
in that group at that spot, and on a grip or below the last group
starts a new group (which is then shown).
- Splitters set the heights of the pallets within a group; double-click
makes them equal again.
- Each group keeps its own width; the divider sizes only the group it
belongs to, and switching groups switches width.
- A group whose pallets all auto-hide shows only while hovered.
- Layouts saved by older builds load with their stacked pallets as one
group.

Each dock edge now has a vertical icon strip along the window edge in
place of the horizontal tab row and the auto-hide rail.
- Every shown group gets a grip bar with its pallets' icons below it;
the shown pallet's icon has a grey background. Clicking an icon shows
that pallet in its group; hovering the icons of an auto-hiding group
opens it.
- Dragging an icon within the strip reorders it or moves it into
another group; dropping it on a grip or below the last group makes it
a new group there. On the pallet area, the top / bottom bands still
start a new group above / below and the middle joins the group.
- Dragging a grip moves the whole group to another position or edge.
- A + button under the groups opens the pallet menu (icon, name, check
mark). Opening a pallet from it docks it on that edge as a new group,
or in its existing group there; a checked pallet is hidden.
- Groups keep their width when moved; the divider against the viewport
sizes the whole edge column.

- The tab row shows only when at least two pallets share a slot.
- Tab icons are larger (18 px). The shown tab gets the grey background
without a border; other tabs have no background.
- The pallet menu was drawn by a dropdown that squeezed it to one icon
wide. It is now its own overlay hanging under the menu button, laid
out like the right-click menu: pallet icon, name, and a check mark on
the right for the pallets shown in this slot. Any click outside closes
it.

- LAYERS opens the Layer Manager as a dockable pallet instead of a modal
dialog with a darkened backdrop. It floats over the middle of the
drawing the first time and keeps its place after that; LAYERS again
(or its close button) hides it. The table keeps its natural width and
scrolls sideways when the pallet is narrower, and the Name column
divider now drags through the dock's pointer capture. Ctrl+A selects
all layers while a layer row is selected in the open pallet.
- The Layer Manager is listed in the tab-row pallet menu like the others.
- Double-clicking a docked title bar floats the panel beside its edge;
double-clicking a floating title bar docks the panel on the side its
title bar faces.

- Dropping on a docked pallet now stacks it above or below over the top
and bottom 35 % of the slot; only the middle 30 % makes it a tab.
- Tabs show the pallet icon (title as tooltip), aligned to the left.
Every docked slot has the tab row, so its menu is always reachable.
- A menu button at the right of the tab row lists every pallet with a
check mark for those shown in this slot. Checking one opens it as a
tab here (moving it from wherever it was docked); unchecking hides it
and keeps its tab for next time.

- Dragging a tab along its slot's tab strip moves it to the gap under the
pointer; the drop preview shows the new tab order. A panel dragged from
elsewhere onto a tab strip lands at that position too. A drop in the
middle of the slot still appends a newcomer and leaves a member where
it is.
- All tabs of a slot share one width: a joining panel takes the slot's
width, resizing or resetting one tab sizes them all, and slots sized
apart by older configs render at their widest tab. Switching tabs no
longer changes the column width.
- Hovering an auto-hide rail raises its slot without turning the rail
blue.

- Docked title bars show the pin and close only while the pointer is
over the bar; the bar keeps a fixed height so nothing jumps.
- Auto-hide on is drawn as a 30° tilted pin (new pin_active.svg)
instead of a coloured button background, on docked and floating bars.
- A floating panel's resize grip sits in the bottom corner away from its
title bar. With the bar on the right it is bottom-left (new mirrored
resize_left.svg) and resizing from there keeps the right edge fixed.
The bar stays on its side while resizing.
- While a floating panel is dragged, only the drop preview shows it; the
panel no longer stays drawn at its old place.

Panels can now float over the workspace, share a docked slot as tabs,
and split an edge at heights the user picks.
- Dropping a panel away from the edges floats it at the pointer. Floating
panels move by their title bar, resize from a corner grip, and come to
the front when clicked.
- Dropping in the top or bottom quarter of a docked slot docks the panel
above or below it, as before. Dropping in the middle adds the panel as
a tab of that slot. Pressing a tab shows that panel; dragging a tab
pulls the panel out again.
- While dragging, a blue ghost previews the result: the new slot, the
slot with its future tab row, or the floating window.
- A splitter between stacked slots sets their heights; double-click it
to make the slots equal again. Heights persist.
- A press only becomes a drag after 5 px of movement, so clicking a title
bar or tab never moves the panel.
The persisted layout now stores each edge as tab groups with a height
weight, plus a list of floating panels. Configs with the old
bare-panel-id stacks still load as single-panel slots.

Ctrl+click on a composite selects it with the solid under the cursor as
the one its palette and grips edit: the solid whose own surface passes
through the picked point. With its history shown, a composite draws the
edges of the solids its booleans joined, each where it sits.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
With SOLIDHIST on, UNION, SUBTRACT and INTERSECT no longer reduce the
result's history to a frozen body: each solid's history joins the
result's under a boolean step, in the order the result applied them.
The Properties palette lists a composite's solids under Operand; the one
chosen shows its own geometry rows and grips, placed where it sits in
the composite, and editing it replays the whole tree. A composite read
from a file keeps its saved body; the tree is replayed only on edits.

Display gets a command line text colour (blank keeps the theme's); it

DsSetHandle for the first arrowhead also overwrote the second, destroying split-arrowhead configurations. The second write was a drive-by from overhaul 25515fa3; the Dimsah toggle has its own null-guarded init. Test: dimblk1_pick_leaves_dimblk2_alone pins per-end independence (RED first). Full suite: 1989 passed / 0 failed / 25 ignored.
SelectionState now holds view, gesture, input, menu and orbit sub-structs; all 450 access sites updated mechanically with no behavior change. Deletes three write-only dead fields (box_last, box_last_crossing, poly_last_crossing). Hand-rolled clears in commands and dim_viewport route through the new clear methods; bench fixture updated. Full suite: 1976 passed / 0 failed / 25 ignored.
The two per-frame ViewCube blocks rebuilt the named-UCS name list (N String clones plus a Vec) every frame; now Scene::cached_ucs_names memoises it behind ucs_epoch and the picker takes the Arc, so frames cost a refcount bump. Bumped on UCS SAVE, UCS DELETE, RENAME UCS, record-API ucss patch, file-open, and undo Full-swap. Tests: cached_ucs_names_returns_same_arc_until_bump pins the hit path; cached_ucs_names_invalidated_by_bump pins rebuild with new content. Full suite: 1976 passed / 0 failed / 25 ignored.

A point or pick step commits on the press, so the cursor drifting before
the button comes up no longer moves it. Selection steps and drag-fence
picks still wait for the release.
The press runs the existing release path once; the command path clears
left_down, so the real release that follows does nothing. This replaces
the PR's moved click block and press_consumed_point flag, which could
stay set when the release landed outside the viewport and swallow the
next release, and which broke TRIM's press-and-drag fence.

MTEXT draws its stored text instead of re-evaluating fields on every
redraw. Fields update on their evaluation events as the reference does:
open (1), save (2, not autosave), plot (4) and REGEN/REGENALL (16), each
masked with the drawing's FIELDEVAL (variable dictionary, 0-31, with the
reference's prompt and message), and the new UPDATEFIELD command
(selection, attributes of selected block references, "N field(s)
found." / "N field(s) updated."). A Date field (on demand only) keeps
its value until UPDATEFIELD. The FIELDDISPLAY gray box now covers each
field's own glyphs, one box per line it spans, instead of the whole
text. Codec moved to the update_fields / field_spans revision.

A plot stamps PlotDate fields, but the redraw only dropped the host's
own tessellation: an attribute is drawn by its INSERT and a host inside
a block definition by every reference to the block, so both still
showed the old value on screen and in the plotted output. The changed
hosts now redraw through their INSERT / the block's references (block
cache refreshed), without re-tessellating anything else. The codec is
patched to the field format code fixes.

The wizard's folder scan, Import Layout as Sheet, the template layout
lists and the drawing cache behind Model Views, Place on Sheet, callout /
label blocks and block previews parsed whole DWGs on the UI thread. They
now go through the shared `background_task` worker: a cache miss reads the
drawing and handles the message that needed it again. Block previews lend
the cached drawing to the preview scene instead of cloning it.

A VIEW record's centre is an offset from its target in view coordinates.
Views saved by earlier versions stored the target itself as the centre;
treating that as an offset put them (and VIEW plots) at about twice the
coordinates. One shared `named_view_center` now resolves the centre in
f64 (DVec3/DQuat), taking a centre equal to a non-zero target as the old
convention; VIEW RESTORE, the view plot window and Place on Sheet use it.

Closes the view-to-dispatch resort race: the nine Layer* variants plus ColorPickTarget::Layer now carry the layer name and resolve to the current panel row at dispatch time via layer_panel_index; unknown names no-op. View sites (layer panel, ribbon dropdown) and the CLI/plugin path send names, so the CLI position lookup and the ribbon enumerate are deleted. Panel-internal selection state stays index-based. Tests: layer_toggle_visible_targets_layer_by_name_after_resort pins name targeting across a re-sort; layer_toggle_visible_unknown_name_is_noop pins the graceful no-op. Full suite: 1974 passed / 0 failed / 25 ignored.
Turning a 141k-entity layer off/on took 1.5-5 s; it now takes ~0.6-0.9 s.
- Off/freeze toggles go through invalidate_layer_visibility: entities on
the layer keep their tessellation memo (visibility gates them before
tessellation); only block users re-expand. No mesh recolor.
- The resident patch reuses a surviving memo entry instead of
re-tessellating, guarded by the same display-context hash as the full
build.
- The patch looked up `layout.order` linearly per re-shown entity, which
made turning a big layer back on quadratic.
- recolor_meshes_for_handles resolved materials for handles with no mesh.
- Wire arena: a hidden slab keeps its instances and sets a `hidden` flag
in its consts (collapsed in the vertex shader); an unchanged re-show only
clears the flag. Const writes are batched into merged spans.
- The `layer_visible` automation action indexed the document's layer
table instead of the sortable panel rows the Layer* messages use.

- When the count area's boundary is gone the approved Invalid Area dialog

Model Views lists named model views and places them on the current sheet
(xref, viewport, paper-space named view, view label with navigation
fields, sheet view record); sheet view rows get Display, Rename & Renumber
View, Set category, Place Callout Block and Place View Label Block; the
View Category dialog's Add Blocks opens List of Blocks / Select Block; a
sheet whose relative path is gone shows missing; sheet set fields store
their values when a set changes; named views keep their centre relative to
the target. Codec pin moves to the revision with these field helpers.

Saving filled every 3D solid without stored wires with tessellated display
edges, so solids read from a file without a wireframe cache (for example a
DXF) were saved with edges OCS never created. Only solids without ACIS data
now get an edge cache on save; solids OCS creates or edits already get their
wires when they are built.

Import Layouts as Sheets shows the reference's statuses (already part of

- COUNTCOLOR / COUNTERRORCOLOR / COUNTSERVICE reject any other value with
the range message; COUNTTABLE ? lists in the reference order, padded,
22 lines a page with Press ENTER to continue:, then the totals.
- Target picks report N found / N found, M total; several objects (or one
that is not a block reference) count their copies, shown as Geometries
in the palette.
- Current area is the area in use (kept aside by Entire model space),
otherwise all of model space; an invalid Object boundary ends with the
reference message.
- Count colours reach solids and fills; the palette list and the count
are recomputed only when the drawing changes.

A command started from the command line, an alias, a shortcut or Repeat
now lights the same ribbon button a click on it would, so users learn
where the tools they type live. A button inside a dropdown lights the
dropdown, a slide-out tool lights its group title, a tool hidden in a
collapsed panel lights the panel's opener, and a button on another tab
lights that tab's header. Always on, in the existing active-button blue.
Buttons are matched by the command they dispatch, so ids that differ
from their command still resolve; the tab on show wins when a command
appears twice, and a clicked button keeps its highlight. Transparent
commands leave the running command lit. The #355 rule that a highlight
lasts only while something runs moves from the ribbon click handler into
dispatch_command, so typed commands are cleared the same way.
