The codec now holds wide EntityType variants boxed (MText, Helix,
Dimension, Hatch, Viewport, MultiLeader, Surface, Table, Ole2Frame,
Light, Extended). Constructors box their entity; nested patterns reach
a dimension through entities::dimension::as_dimension(_mut). Also
follows BlockAction::action_ids, LineTypeComplexData::source_flags and
the decimal tab stop with an explicit character.

Open the Edit Block Definition dialog when BEDIT is invoked without an active selection, listing candidate block definitions alphabetically while filtering layout records, anonymous blocks, and external references. Allow typing a new valid block name to start an empty block editor session that only commits to the drawing block table upon explicit save.
Introduce would_create_cycle in block_service to prevent recursive block definitions with case-insensitive matching across block records. Enforce cycle refusal at INSERT commit in BEDIT and during block redefinition (redefine_block_raw) with a shared error message. Ensure render-time recursion truncates safely with a one-time session warning on cyclic documents.
new src/scene/block_service.rs (references, delete, rename, purge candidates, name validation, one error type and message). The command-line RENAME, palette Remove, plugin API, control/MCP block_delete and PURGE all use it. Layout, xref, dynamic-block, anonymous and open-in-editor records are protected; PURGE removes an anonymous block only when nothing references it. PROTOCOL CHANGE: control/MCP block_delete refuses a referenced block unless force=true (erases referencing INSERTs in one undo step). New REST route DELETE /api/v1/blocks/{name}?force=true. MCP tool digest re-pinned. Undo labels are Delete block X, Rename block X to Y and Purge.
