Options → Selection already carried the pick box, the selection-area effect
and the grip visuals. Four settings behind it were finished, persisted and
reachable only by typing a system variable, and one more was a constant.
**Four that only needed a widget.** `SELECTIONEFFECT`, `SELECTIONPREVIEW`,
`PICKADD` and `PICKDRAG` are all wired end to end already. `SELECTIONEFFECT`
was the odd one: the card's own "Restore Defaults" button resets it, so it
could be turned off by a button and only turned back on from the command
line.
`SELECTIONPREVIEW` is a bitmask and gets one checkbox per bit, which is why
`set_preview_bit` exists rather than two inline expressions — the bits are
the thing this change is most able to get backwards.
The `PICKADD` checkbox is worded as AutoCAD words it, "use Shift to add to
selection", which is the *inverse* of the stored flag. That inversion is
commented at both ends; it reads as a bug otherwise.
**`GRIPOBJLIMIT`.** The limit past which a selection gets no grips arrived
with the selection work as a hardcoded 100, matching AutoCAD's default. It is
now a setting, a slider and a system variable, following `PICKBOX`'s path
exactly. AutoCAD's 0 means "no limit", which the old `>` comparison could not
express, so the read now guards on it — with a test, because zero is the one
value that would otherwise suppress every grip instead of allowing all of
them.
The slider covers 0..=1000, where every useful value lives; the sysvar takes
AutoCAD's full 0..=32767, and a larger value set from the command line parks
the handle at the end while the read-out keeps showing the real number.
**`SelectionPrefs`** replaces the `pick_box` parameter rather than adding
three more. `view_window` already took seventeen positional arguments, and
`pick_add` / `pick_drag_rect` are two adjacent `bool`s that would swap
silently at the call site.
**Two fixes found on the way.** `OPTIONS` and `OP` were registered for
autocomplete but never dispatched, so typing either answered "Unknown
command" and the dialog could only be opened from the start page. And the
`SELECTIONPREVIEW` doc comment had its bits the wrong way round — the code
reads `& 1` for the idle rollover and `& 2` for the in-command one, as
AutoCAD does — which would have put the two new checkboxes' labels backwards.
**Not done, deliberately.** `PICKFIRST` and `PICKAUTO` exist but are always
on, with no variable. `PICKSTYLE` is stored in the header and read by nobody
— group expansion decides from the group's own `selectable` flag — so an
"object grouping" checkbox would control nothing. Associative-hatch selection
does not exist as a selection behaviour. Each needs a behaviour change rather
than an exposure.
Of the ten new strings, en-US and el-GR are translated; the other nineteen
locales carry the English text. Composing them from existing keys, the way
el-GR composes the neighbouring labels, only works for one of the ten —
there is no existing key for "limit", "unlimited", "shift", "rectangle" or
"lasso", and "Grips: Objects" as the label of a numeric limit would be worse
than an untranslated string.

Capture the rendered canvas during the clean frame instead of requesting synchronous GPU buffer readback. Preserve embedded previews and allow saving when canvas readback is denied. Add a browser save and reopen regression check.
Fixes#1021
The first hover over the canvas after opening a large drawing froze the
UI for a second:
hover-detail query=0.2 handles=986.1 ... candidates=253
hover-dwell 986.6ms
`interaction_handle_index` and the insert-hatch map it reads are built
lazily, and first use is that hover. Neither can move to the loader
thread: they read `hatches`, `meshes` and `block_meshes`, which are
installed on the real `Scene` only after the loader has finished.
Build them at the end of the open instead, where the user is already
waiting. This does not make the work cheaper -- open grows by roughly the
second the hover used to cost -- but a second inside an operation that is
already seconds long reads very differently from a second-long freeze on
a mouse move.

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)
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.
INSERT enumerated all block names in a single prompt string, causing unbounded overlay growth and full-screen occlusion in drawings with many blocks. Replace prompt enumeration with a ranked, incrementally filtered suggestion model: BlockPicker maintains precomputed lower/upper caches and usage ranks (MRU/frequency), filters via O(n) substring scan and partial sorting (select_nth_unstable) to O(k), bounded to CLIPROMPTLINES.
Introduce CLIPROMPTLINES (Integer 0-50, Registry, default 3) for the number of temporary prompt lines above the command window; persist in UserSettings, expose via SETVAR and direct entry, enforce in CommandLine::view. Suggestion count is in direct relation to CLIPROMPTLINES (limit = clip, capped to 50).
Make search live without requiring Enter: add CadCommand::on_live_input, implement for INSERT/MINSERT via picker.set_needle, and wire to command-line input paths (Message::CommandInput, on_command_append_char, on_command_backspace). Updates use upper/lower caches and partial sort for <0.2ms per keystroke on 10k blocks, with debounced block-usage persistence (MRU cap 20, freq cap 200) to avoid I/O thrash. Correct tri_count test helper to use display_from_solid.
Persist camera, render state, and solid fallback geometry across saves. Generate previews from a clean live viewport and refresh recent-file thumbnails immediately.
Saving to a path that already holds a drawing fails on Windows with
"could not verify <path> before saving: ... (os error 33)". Save As over any
existing drawing is affected; saving to a new path is not.
EditLease::acquire() opens the destination and takes the platform drawing
lock on it, then the save fingerprints the same path to check nothing changed
underneath. LockFileEx is mandatory and scoped to the handle that took it, so
that second open is refused against our own lock, lands in the non-NotFound
arm and aborts the save. flock on Unix is advisory and the second open
succeeds, so neither CI nor a Linux desktop sees it.
Read through the handle the lease already holds instead. A duplicate shares
the lock ownership, so the pre-replace re-check on the save worker can use
one too rather than re-opening the path.
The same collision reached the headless open op, which read a path this
session may hold leased: automation's save_then_open_round_trips fails on
main for that reason, one line after the save it no longer reaches.
- Run Plugin Manager release fetches on OS threads so they execute in
parallel instead of serialising on the async executor.
- Reduce V4Connection shutdown poll from 3s to 100ms; the runner is killed
and reaped without blocking host shutdown.
- Add PluginManager::remove and PluginProcess::shutdown_and_wait so
uninstall can stop the runner before deleting files, fixing Windows
access-denied errors on plugin removal.
- Rebuild ribbon immediately after uninstall so the tab disappears.
The feature existed for one reason: truck's mesh and boolean crates reach
`vtkio → xz2 → lzma-sys`, a C library that cannot cross-compile to wasm32. So
the web build dropped it, and with it the Model tab, solid tessellation and
ACIS import — all of which quietly did nothing in the browser.
cadkernel is pure Rust and has no C dependency, so none of that holds any
more. The feature gated exactly two things by the end, `acis_export` and the
save-path sync that calls it, and both are as portable as everything around
them. Removing it means the web build makes primitives, runs booleans, draws
ACIS solids read from a file, and writes them back out as exact geometry — the
same as the desktop build.
Verified against all three: native, `--no-default-features`, and an actual
`wasm32-unknown-unknown` check rather than an assumption about one.
The docs claimed otherwise in four places and are corrected. `tessellation.md`
in particular was organised around whether an entity "goes through truck",
which is no longer a question anything can be asked — the three paths are now
a kernel B-rep mesh, a curve sampled through `entities::curve`, or geometry
emitted directly, and the per-entity table is updated to match.
`index.html` no longer passes `data-cargo-no-default-features`; there are no
features left to turn off.

The last four truck crates are gone from the manifest. What they were doing
falls into three parts, and each now has one answer instead of two.
NURBS evaluation. truck was carrying B-spline curves and surfaces for the
SPLINE entity, hatch boundaries, BLEND's endpoint frames, the spline preview
and ACIS spline-surface faces. The kernel now has both, over one de Boor
written across however many coordinates a control point holds — so a plane
curve and a space curve cannot drift apart, and a surface is the same
algorithm applied twice. The rational and the polynomial cases stop being
separate types: weights absent means polynomial.
The entity conversion. Every LINE, ARC, ELLIPSE, SPLINE and polyline was
built into truck topology purely so it could be sampled back into points.
They are sampled through `entities::curve` now, which is where each one's
geometry is already defined once and what EXTRUDE and REVOLVE read — so a
circle drawn on screen and a circle handed to the Model tab come from the
same definition. That retires four of TruckObject's variants and the module
is renamed for what it does.
SWEEP and LOFT. Both only ever produced a mesh, so both are built from point
lists: a band of quads per span, and a lid where a profile closes. Lofting
profiles of different densities resamples them by distance rather than by
index, so a circle lofted to a square no longer twists.
Two things worth noting for anyone reading the old comments. The tolerance
globals that lived in the tessellation module were never about truck at all —
they are the per-frame chord height, and they move to `curve_tol`. And the
rule that a profile handed over as `Lines` silently broke EXTRUDE and REVOLVE
no longer holds: those read the curve directly and never look at this channel.
The two `automation` test failures are unchanged from before this and are not
caused by it.
