Avoid full document, cache, and GPU rebuilds for entity deltas so add, delete, history, selection, and live polyline edits stay responsive on large drawings.
Replace full-document snapshots with Arc first-touch deltas and batch cache invalidation. Reuse interaction and GPU category caches across unrelated edits.
- Block reference Name (Misc) is editable: the dropdown re-points the
insert to another definition; typing a new name renames the definition
everywhere (record re-key, Block marker, every INSERT reference).
Anonymous (*) and xref blocks stay read-only, with the same guards
added to Scene::rename_block.
- Custom single-control dropdown (text field + caret) built on the
shared floating_below overlay so the list always opens downward,
unlike iced's space-based menu placement.
- Consecutive "<Base> X/Y/Z" rows (Position, Scale, Start, Center, ...)
collapse into one expandable summary row across all entities; the
expand state persists across rebuilds and selection changes.
- The BEDIT block tab no longer offers the layout Rename/Delete
context menu.

Frequent entity-only edits (MOVE/ROTATE/SCALE/MIRROR/ALIGN, COPY/ARRAY,
draw-add, ERASE) captured a full ~800k-entity CadDocument clone (~46ms) on
every edit — the last big per-edit cost after the incremental-render work.
They now record only the touched entities' before/after images:
- Scene self-records through the five mutation primitives when a recording is
open (UndoRecording + is_recording_undo guard, zero cost off-path).
- apply_entity_delta installs one side per handle (in-place / re-insert with
the original handle / remove) plus a per-handle cache reseed, then a single
bump_entities so the incremental caches patch instead of a full re-tess —
undo/redo of a small edit is fast too, not just the edit.
- HistorySnapshot is now Full | Delta; a Delta is self-inverting and moves
between the undo/redo stacks without re-capturing. Commands that touch
non-entity state (new layer, group, *D block, viewport) fall back to the
full snapshot via per-command predicates, and a poison flag debug-asserts
any mis-scope.
remove_entity leaves the handle dangling in its owner block record's
entity_handles (harmless on its own, a lookup miss is skipped), so a
re-insert strips stale entries first — otherwise add_entity would list the
handle twice and the DXF/DWG writer would emit the entity twice.
Round-trip tests cover transform/erase/add/copy (do->undo->redo equality,
handle preservation, no duplication).

Every geometry mutation previously bumped a monotonic geometry_epoch and each
derived cache compared its stamp and, on a miss, re-walked the whole document —
so drawing or moving one line rebuilt every hatch / image / mesh / wipeout model
even though none of them changed.
Add a per-mutation delta journal: bump_entities(&[(Handle, ChangeKind)]) records
exactly which handles changed (Added / Removed / Modified), folding the memo drop
and the epoch bump into one call a site cannot forget. A bounded ring keeps the
recent deltas; replay_since(last_epoch) coalesces the changes past a consumer or
returns None (full rebuild) when a spanned delta is `full` or the consumer fell
off the ring. bump_geometry / bump_geometry_no_blocks push a `full` delta so the
journal is never missing a step.
Route the common single-entity ops through it: add (Added), update (Modified),
erase (Removed), move/rotate/scale/mirror (Modified), copy (Added). Gate the four
per-category model caches on category relevance — an edit whose handles are not in
a category leaves that category cache warm; a removal is treated conservatively
(the erased handle can no longer be classified), and the mesh cache also
invalidates on any INSERT edit since it carries the instanced block meshes.
Net: a plain-entity edit no longer rebuilds the hatch/image/mesh/wipeout model
sets. The resident wire clone-all and the GPU re-upload are still whole-set — the
journal is the groundwork for making those per-entity next. Adds 6 journal unit
tests (replay, coalescing, full-fallback, ring overflow, category gate).

The Current Vertex row is now a ◀ / ▶ stepper (new PropValue::Stepper)
showing "i / N". Stepping it moves the panel's focus through the
polyline's vertices — Vertex X/Y and the per-vertex start/end widths show
and edit the focused vertex instead of always the first — and the focused
vertex's grip is drawn hot (filled) in the drawing so it's visible while
navigating. Focus wraps around and resets to the first vertex when the
selection changes. Adds Area and Length to the LwPolyline Geometry group
(Polyline2D already had them). Applies to LwPolyline and Polyline2D.
The focused vertex is threaded to the per-entity property builder/editor
through a dispatch thread-local (like the curve-tolerance override), so
the PropertyEditable trait signatures are unchanged.

Groundwork for making the Properties panel conform to the per-entity group/row
spec (PROPERTIES.md). The panel already renders a Vec of sections, but each
entity could only express a single geometry section.
Change PropertyEditable::geometry_properties (and the EntityTypeOps enum
dispatch) to return Vec<PropSection>, update the two impl macros, and flatten
in properties_sectioned so the panel shows [General] + the entity's groups.
Every entity builder is wrapped to return its existing section as a one-element
Vec — pure mechanical change, no rows or titles altered, panel output identical.
Enables Phase 2: rewriting each entity's groups/rows to match the spec.

Locked-layer objects were fully editable. Now they stay visible and
snappable but are otherwise protected:
- Not selectable: the five interactive pick paths (box, lasso, single
click, cycling, box-release) plus SELECTALL and QSELECT skip locked
entities.
- Not modifiable (defense-in-depth even if a handle slips through):
transform_entities, erase_entities, apply_grip and the Properties
commit all skip locked entities.
- Faded: entities on a locked layer render dimmed toward the background
(render_style + wire tessellation); toggling lock re-tessellates.
- Snap still works: locked entities are intentionally kept in the wire
set (visibility_ok untouched), so object snap keeps finding them.
- Feedback: a small padlock is drawn by the crosshair when hovering a
locked object, and clicking one prints "Object is on locked layer …".
New Scene::is_layer_locked / locked_layer_name helpers centralise the
check (mirroring layer_hidden).

Selecting an INSERT with attributes now adds an editable "Attributes"
section to the Properties panel — each tag is a row whose value can be
changed inline (Enter commits, undo works, the attribute text repaints).
Previously attribute values could only be reached through ATTEDIT, which
didn't let them be changed (#192).
Attribute tags are runtime strings, so they can't ride the geometry
edit path whose field key is `&'static str`; a dedicated PropValue::
AttrText variant plus PropAttrInput/PropAttrCommit messages carry the
tag. Values are stored verbatim (no expression evaluation, since
attribute text is free-form).
Also guard the panel's in-progress edit buffer: it now only carries
across a rebuild when the selection is unchanged (a commit-triggered
refresh), so a typed-but-uncommitted value can't display or commit onto
a different entity — e.g. two title blocks sharing a REV1 tag. This
closes a latent stale-buffer leak that affected geometry fields too.

Break up the four giant files (~29k lines total) into focused submodule
directories, one concern per file. Pure mechanical moves — behavior is
unchanged.
- app/update.rs (9650) -> app/update/{mod,viewport,command,style,file,
dynamic,dialog,util}. The 384-arm update_inner match stays in mod.rs
with thin delegating arms; the 66 fattest arm bodies move to topic
methods. Arm set preserved exactly (384 -> 384).
- scene/mod.rs (9017) -> scene/{mod,entity,tess,hittest,layout,paper,
mspace,project,selection,modify,group_layer,preview}. The impl Scene
body is split across files via inherent-impl-per-file; struct, ctor,
fields and load-time helpers stay in the root. fn count 123 -> 123.
- app/commands.rs (6082) -> app/commands/* grouped by command family.
The 233-arm dispatch match becomes source-ordered per-family
dispatch_* handlers, preserving first-match precedence (233 -> 233).
- app/view.rs (4686) -> app/view/{mod,overlay,modal,viewcube,controls}.
Largest file drops from 9650 to 3343. Builds clean; app launches and
loads plugins with no panic.

Move the 30 flat modules under src/scene/ into six folders by role:
convert (entity→geometry), text (fonts/shaping), model (render models),
pick (hit-test/selection/grips/xclip), view (camera/transform/render),
cache (block + property caches). pipeline/ is unchanged.
Full path migration — all `scene::X` references become
`scene::<group>::X`, no compatibility re-exports. render.rs items that
were `pub(super)` (parent was scene) become `pub(in crate::scene)` to
keep their original scene-wide visibility.
No behavior change; build and tests are green.

DRAWORDER now affects rendering immediately (bump geometry epoch so the
sort cache rebuilds) and front/back anchor to the block's full effective
sort range instead of only existing table entries, so bring-to-front
actually lands on top. The render fallback sorts table-absent entities by
their own handle.
Draw order now applies across entity types, not just within a type. A
per-entity draw-order rank (SortEntitiesTable override or own handle,
ranked per block) is encoded as a small signed clip-z bias in the wire,
hatch, image, and 3DFACE pipelines. The shared LessEqual depth buffer then
orders fills, lines, rasters and 2D solids against each other regardless of
pass order — without touching model coordinates. 3D meshes keep real
geometric depth; wipeouts stay always-on-top.
Adds a Draw Order submenu to the viewport context menu (Bring to Front,
Send to Back, Bring Above/Send Under Object). The above/under items run an
interactive reference-object pick, then reorder the captured selection.

- ribbon.rs → ribbon/mod.rs + ribbon/widgets.rs
Extracted all rendering helpers, button styles, colour constants,
layout constants and dropdown position calculators into widgets.rs.
- scene/mod.rs → scene/mod.rs + scene/selection.rs + scene/render.rs
Moved SelectionState into selection.rs; moved CameraState, Primitive,
shader::Program/Primitive impls, render_style and resolve_pattern
into render.rs, reducing mod.rs from 1323 to ~1030 lines.
