The previous commit converted the allocations that scale with the
drawing and deliberately left the small fixed-size ones -- uniforms, the
viewcube's static geometry, per-image and per-wipeout quads -- reasoning
that an allocation failure was not a realistic outcome for a few dozen
bytes.
That reasoning was wrong, and the log says so precisely. On the
reproducer the vertex buffers degraded exactly as intended:
[gpu] uncaptured ... Out of Memory
[gpu] uncaptured ... In Queue::write_buffer
Buffer with 'block_wire.vertices' label is invalid
... errors #4#8#16#32#64#128, session kept alive
and then the process died here:
thread 'main' panicked at wgpu_core.rs:2253:
Error in Buffer::get_mapped_range: Validation Error
Caused by: Buffer with 'block_wire.const' label is invalid
'block_wire.const' is a single uniform struct. Once the device is out of
memory every allocation fails, including a 32-byte one, and
create_buffer_init maps it and panics. Size was never the relevant
property -- whether the path maps is.
So every remaining allocation goes through gpu_upload too: block-wire
const, the viewcube's seven buffers, the blit and clip-boundary buffers,
image instances/params/vertices, mesh material params and surface and the
empty index stub, the texture-hatch uniform, and all five wipeout
buffers. `grep -r create_buffer_init src` now finds only a comment, and
no mapped_at_creation:true remains outside gpu_upload's own docs.
`queue` is threaded through the last holdouts: upload_wipeouts,
upload_clip_boundary, MeshBatchStubs::new and
create_material_bind_group_from_resources.

The renderer shares one set of wire GPU buffers per wire_content_id
across every pane and viewport slot. Every geometry edit mints a new
content id, so every edit builds a new set -- and the old one stayed in
wire_buffer_cache until the map exceeded sixteen entries.
Sixteen entries is a sane bound for small drawings and fatal for large
ones. The policy counted entries, not bytes. On the reproducer a single
set is most of the card: the VRAM trace shows 572 MiB baseline rising to
1871 MiB on a 2048 MiB GT 1030. The second set has nowhere to go, so the
first edit after opening exhausts VRAM. The perf log shows exactly that
-- two `shared-fullupload` lines, an edit, then the process dies.
Evict on every miss instead of at a count threshold, and do it before
building the replacement rather than after, so the old allocation is
released while the new one is still being sized. Dropping this slot's own
handles first is what lets the retain see the superseded entry as
garbage; a pane still drawing that content keeps its own clone and its
strong count stays above one, so shared geometry is never pulled out
from under a live viewport.
The trade is that returning to a previous content id -- undo, mostly --
now rebuilds instead of hitting a warm entry. On a card where the
alternative is dying, that is the right way round.
Adds a PERF line reporting evicted and retained entry counts, so the
policy can be watched rather than assumed.

The crash in #358 was not the out-of-memory itself. wgpu reports OOM as
recoverable and the app already installs a handler that logs and keeps
the session alive. What killed the process was what happened next:
create_buffer_init maps the new buffer unconditionally, and mapping the
invalid buffer an OOM device returns panics. That panic unwinds through
iced's main-thread redraw, trips the wgpu-hal swapchain assertion in a
destructor, and becomes a non-unwinding abort -- no chance to autosave.
Every allocation whose size scales with the drawing now goes through
src/scene/pipeline/gpu_upload.rs, which creates the buffer unmapped and
fills it with Queue::write_buffer. A failed allocation then surfaces as a
validation error on the write, which reaches install_gpu_error_handler
and degrades the frame -- exactly what that handler's comment promised:
"A bad frame must degrade, not end the session."
Converted: block-wire vertices and instances, the wire const storage
buffer, all three wire-arena allocators, face3d vertices and instances,
block-text instances and text vertices, both hatch backends, and the
silhouette buffers. mesh_gpu already allocated this way, which is why the
mesh path never produced this panic; the rest now match it.
No mapped_at_creation:true remains in the renderer. The create_buffer_init
calls left are fixed-size or bounded-small -- uniforms, the viewcube's
static geometry, per-image and per-wipeout quads -- where an allocation
failure is not a realistic outcome.
Two trade-offs worth stating:
* write_buffer stages through a copy, which mapping at creation avoided.
Chunking bounds that transient cost, and the measured block-wire
upload got faster with chunking, not slower.
* `queue` had to be threaded through the wire, face3d, text and hatch
builders and their callers. Mechanical, but it widens the diff.
This touches every upload path, so it needs a visual check against a real
drawing before it goes upstream.

max_buffer_size is an API validation limit, not physical VRAM. NVIDIA
reports several GB of it on a 2 GB card, so sizing a chunk from it
produces buffers larger than the whole device. That is the same bug as
#203 (mesh_gpu), #358 (face3d_gpu) and the block-wire vertex buffer:
rediscovered three times because each upload path spelled the budget out
for itself.
mesh_gpu.rs was the only site that clamped the result. Move that clamp
into src/scene/pipeline/gpu_budget.rs and route every allocating path
through it, so a new upload path cannot reintroduce the mistake by
copying one of the unclamped expressions.
Five sites had no clamp at all: text_gpu (block-text instances),
wire_gpu (block-wire instances), and face3d_gpu (vertices, instances,
and upload_chunks).
Three behaviour changes worth noting:
* Silhouette chunks were capped at a private 64 MiB constant and now
use the shared 32 MiB budget.
* The storage-hatch chunk limit was the minimum of two device limits,
both of them validation figures; it is now also capped by the
budget. The `*_fits` predicates next to it are genuine "would wgpu
reject this" checks and are left alone.
* mesh_gpu's instanced path used the unclamped ceiling to decide
whether a mesh fits in a single buffer, which would still admit a
multi-GB allocation. It now uses the clamped budget, so a few more
meshes take the chunked path.
OCS_GPU_CHUNK_MIB overrides the cap. Raising it above the real VRAM is
the cheapest way to force an allocation failure and check that the
renderer degrades instead of aborting.

BlockWireGpu::from_wires built one unbounded vertex buffer per
(source_id, mesh_edge) group. On a block-heavy drawing that reached
~505 MiB in a single create_buffer_init, which fails on a 2 GB card;
wgpu then returns an invalid buffer and the unchecked
get_mapped_range_mut() inside create_buffer_init panics.
The instance buffer in the same function was already chunked. Convert
the vertex buffer the same way, matching the solid-mesh chunking in
mesh_gpu.rs (#203) and the fill chunking in face3d_gpu.rs (#358),
including mesh_gpu.rs's clamp: max_buffer_size is an API validation
limit, not physical VRAM, and NVIDIA reports several GB on a 2 GB card.
Chunk sizes are rounded down to a multiple of 6 so a segment's quad
never straddles two buffers -- the shader derives its corner from
vertex_index % 6 and every draw restarts that counter at zero.
Instance buffers are hoisted out so they are built once and reused
across vertex chunks instead of re-uploaded per chunk.

Pan and even plain cursor movement over the canvas ran at ~8 fps on a
large drawing. Nothing rendered was responsible: the GPU idled at 0-8%,
encoding no scene at all changed nothing, and vertices, pixels and draw
calls could each be cut without moving the number. `view` was the frame
-- 110 ms of it against 3-6 ms on a small drawing -- and inside `view`
it was the status bar.
The status bar builds the selection-filter menu, which asks for the
distinct entity type names in the layout. That call cloned the layout's
entire handle list (1 166 357 handles, ~9 MB), then did a map lookup, a
String allocation and a BTreeSet insert for each one. About 107 ms of a
110 ms frame, to produce roughly twenty names, for a menu that is only
visible when opened.
Cache the result against geometry_epoch and the layout block, since it
only changes when entities are added or removed, and make the scan
itself borrow the handle list rather than clone it and collect &str,
allocating only for the names it returns.
The immediate-mode UI rebuilds every widget on every mouse move, which is
fine as long as nothing in that path is O(document). This was.

Refresh stale depth bounds after geometry edits, allow orbiting through camera poles, and preserve hidden-line occlusion for selected solids.\n\nFixes #957
Model space appearance now follows the active UI theme instead of a
hardcoded dark background. Canvas mode is user-selectable (Match Theme /
Classic CAD Dark / Custom RGB), with matching controls for the paper
sheet and desk surround backgrounds and grid opacity.
Implements industry-standard CAD system variables, all settable via
command name, SETVAR, and the Options dialog:
- COLORTHEME (0/1 dark/light UI scheme, preserves custom palettes)
- COLORSCHEME (interactive named-theme selection)
- BACKGROUND (THEME/CLASSIC/DEFAULT/DESK presets, RGB triplets)
- SELECTIONAREA, SELECTIONAREAOPACITY (translucent marquee fill)
- WINDOWSAREACOLOR/WINDOWAREACOLOR, CROSSINGAREACOLOR (ACI or theme)
- SELECTIONEFFECT, SELECTIONEFFECTCOLOR (GPU highlight pass, driven by
selection_generation invalidation — no retessellation)
- SELECTIONPREVIEW (bit 0 = idle rollover, bit 1 = in-command hover)
- GRIPSIZE, GRIPCOLOR, GRIPHOT, GRIPHOVER (grip overlay styling)
Scene.selection was Rc<RefCell<SelectionState>> (31 fields, ~1.6KB
with poly_points) cloned deep per view_main per pane via
(*sel_ref).clone() at view/mod.rs:760. Replace with
Arc<RefCell<SelectionState>> (Arc::new(RefCell::new(...)) at
scene/mod.rs:1436,1868), SelectionCanvas holds Arc<RefCell> and
selection_overlay takes Arc<RefCell> (overlay.rs:365,415),
view_main does Arc::clone(&tab.scene.selection) (atomic bump)
instead of deep clone. sel_ref stays borrowed for field reads
(vp_size etc.).
Bench (release, n=5000): SelectionState::clone 39-68ns (64pts) /
11-22ns (0pts) vs Arc::clone 7ns — 5-9x on the hot path.
Tests:
- selection_is_arc_not_refcell: asserts type_name contains Arc
- bench_selection_state_clone / bench_selection_arc_clone / bench_selection_state_clone_empty (ignored, release)
