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)
Keep hidden pre-drag geometry out of snap candidates and avoid empty
scene invalidations. Require stable OTRACK dwell observations and cache
planar-solid visibility during live previews.

Sync current main and companion codec changes before preserving unsupported frame rows, rendering in the entity plane, and sharing final layout metrics with placement preview.
Affected Chromium adapters fail after selecting WebGPU even when packed renderer paths are forced. Use WebGL2 for the web app and let device limits select renderer tiers.\n\nRefs #788
Keep all solid geometry GPU-resident during navigation. Use vertex-rate instancing, compact untextured vertices, vertex-cache ordering, and cached silhouette sources without culling geometry.
Share source buffers across block placements and render nested content with GPU instance transforms.\n\nChunk silhouettes and compact mesh material data so large drawings stay under device buffer limits and remain responsive.
A paper layout painted its whole canvas in the page colour, so the sheet
had no visible edge — zooming out never reached one, because the surround
was the same colour as the page. Floating viewports then painted
themselves black over it.
Both come from the same idea, that a viewport's canvas is a colour it can
be handed. What lies behind a viewport depends on what the viewport is:
- The full-canvas sheet shows the desk. `paper_bg_color` is the page, and
the page is a bounded rectangle `paper_sheet_fill` already draws; using
it for the canvas too erased the boundary between them. The desk is now
its own colour, defined once in the scene and read by both the widget
and the renderer, so the two cannot drift apart.
- A floating viewport sits on that sheet and must paint no canvas at all.
Handing it a transparent one does not work: the background shader
returns an opaque colour whatever alpha it is given, so alpha zero came
out black. Skipping the pass is the only way to ask for see-through, so
`skip_background` now suppresses both the clear and the pass. It is part
of the frame signature too — without that, a cached frame would keep
showing the canvas the flag was just turned off for.
Shading and fog still blend toward what is behind a floating viewport,
which is the page, so the uniform keeps that colour even though nothing
paints it.

Sphere faces drew as complete balls. ACIS parametrises a sphere about
any pole, so a vessel's dished head is commonly bounded by a circle that
is no line of latitude in that frame, and a theta/phi bounding box of
such a boundary covers nearly the whole ball. Derive the window
analytically instead: when a face's loops are circles lying on the
sphere, re-pole the frame onto their common axis, where each seam is an
exact latitude at acos(d / R). One ring bounds a cap, two bound a zone;
the material side comes from the boundary winding, reusing the helper
the torus path already had.
Separately, the longitude wrap flag was resetting the colatitude window
to the whole meridian. A cap centred on the pole covers every longitude
while still ending at its seam, so that reset grew every cap back into a
ball. Trim the two angles independently and rename the flag theta_full
so the split reads at each use, including the silhouette generator,
which skipped the colatitude test the same way.
Cone faces took their height span from the first boundary loop alone. A
lateral face closed off by one rim and one pierce curve -- a pipe branch
meeting its run -- carries its two ends on different loops, so the tube
was sized to whichever came first and the leg above the junction went
undrawn. Read every loop.

Route model, paper, viewport and nested block content through one traversal while preserving leaf renderers. Carry decoded material state into mesh shading and harden solid geometry conversion.
Preload one language-aware font resource across the interface, drawing text, and navigation labels.\n\nRender the navigation cube, ring, outlines, and labels through a 4x MSAA target.
Pin Iced 0.15 so dialogs can measure content before distributing the resolved frame across child panels. Keep the web plugin notice compact and non-resizable.\n\nCloses #582
Keep storage fast paths on capable adapters and use packed or texture fallbacks only when device limits require them.\n\nCompact mesh-edge varyings to avoid WebGL shader rejection.
Avoid full document, cache, and GPU rebuilds for entity deltas so add, delete, history, selection, and live polyline edits stay responsive on large drawings.
