- Unlayered raster images go with the PDF layer drawn last before them.
- Circular Bezier arcs import as arcs: bulged polyline segments with Join,
ARC entities without it; straight chains still join.
- Imported PNGs go to "PDF Images" next to the PDF; import blocks are
numbered imp31, imp32, ...
- Background darkness is its HSL lightness below one half.
- All chosen pages attach at the same insertion point.
- PDF geometry snaps as separate pieces: centre from the rim, intersections
and perpendiculars.
- Automation: snap query with an optional base point.

The codec and kernel repositories and crates are renamed opencadcodec and
opencadkernel. Inside OCS they are depended on under short keys, so code
reads `codec::`, `kernel::` and the new `graph::` (opencadgraph, the node
graph engine). File-format and protocol spellings stay as they were: the
ACIS product id `acadrust`, the ACADRUST_* switches and the plugin
version keys `acadrust_version` / `acadrust_source`.
A button left of MCP on the command line opens a translucent node graph
over the viewport, with a palette of object, input, math, logic, list,
text and geometry nodes added by click or drag. An object node owns
drawing entities and its rows are the Properties panel's own rows for
them: the single-object page is extracted from refresh_properties as
entity_property_sections, values use the control protocol's
property_json, and writes go through set_property_value with a property
target override, so the panel, MCP and the graph share one read/write
path. A list reaching an object row makes one entity per element. Each
graph action is one undo step; the canvas pans and zooms.

- The palette launcher arrow is recoloured from the theme like the other
interface icons, instead of drawing the raw SVG.
- The Frames dropdown shares one icon constant; its entries were left
misindented.

- An inverted clip's roundtrip record goes in the filter's extension
dictionary through the codec's own API (ensure_extension_dictionary /
xrecord / extension_dictionary_handle) instead of a scan of every
object, which the renderer ran for each clipped reference.
- Pin cadcodec 1c3be0c (the DXF writer now links a spatial filter's
extension dictionary, so that record is not left unreferenced) and
cadkernel deb529b; plugin crates and the Python plugin lock follow.
- The XCLIP boundary preview stays f64.

- Pin cadcodec upstream at d290dbe (the merged underlay change) and
cadkernel at 4134ae3, which follows it; drop the fork patch, move the
plugin-API and web-worker crates and the Python plugin lock to the same
codec so one copy is built.
- "Import as block" with raster images left IMAGE entities without an
image definition: block definition now creates it like add_entity does,
through one shared helper.
- The three preview outlines (attach frame, clip boundary, import area)
stay f64 instead of casting world points to f32.
- Page size / total / PDF scale entries use the catalog's positional
placeholder; the bare {name} form failed to format in 20 locales.
- The Underlay Layers bulb is the SVG layer icon, not a text glyph.
- PDF dialogs use the shared dialog buttons and radios.
- Options opened from a PDF dialog clears its saved state on return.
- Paper-space underlay background reuses the model block handle already
resolved; dead `let _ = i` lines and a misplaced doc comment removed.

The operations docs/automation/API-SPEC.md (PR #1383) describes, brought
over from huaninstratech/OpenCADStudio so the specification no longer runs
ahead of the code:
- entity CRUD: entities_create, entities_delete, entities_transform,
entities_copy_to, and `where` filters on query
- blocks and export: block_define, block_delete, a normalised wblock
- publishing: layout_create, page_setup_set, plot (per_page included)
- metadata: sysvar, xdata_set / xdata_get, file_identity
- collections: group_create, selection_set_save / load
- control plane: batch, events, view_focus, close
- the REST transport: `--http <port>`, the /api/v1 routes and their
OpenAPI 3 description
- person-in-the-loop picks: user_select and getpoint, hosted by the GUI
over the same REST routes, with on-screen pending signals
Taken from the fork's commits b7a7ed80, 69396b42, 64f1cf6a, c3aafc8e,
bb5a7bfa, 52317a5c, 50d293ba, b90e194f, 517c6397, 53a5c4c9, a49ac045,
37de5a46, a78b1822, 6d9aed2a, 33f522da, 5b5cafe2, 02a7e78d, 94df40dc,
fd5bc14d, 485fac61 and 2c5fc994.
Left out on purpose: 37de5a46 also removed the donation surface (the
Patreon fetch, the donation prompt, the Start-page supporters rail, the
DONATE command and its locale strings) and replaced the About dialog's call
to action; that is the fork's own product decision and stays out. The
fork's version bump and its unrelated IFC/BIM work are not part of this.
Adapted while porting: the REST server and the GUI bridge are desktop-only
and a template start is refused in the web build, so the wasm target still
compiles; the two plot tests read the PDF through the shared stream helper,
because exported streams are Flate-compressed; the benches set the new
crosshair field; comments and docs describe each operation in its own
terms rather than by another product's API names.

The reference follows the cursor while its insertion point, scale or
rotation is asked (preview-only PScale/PX/PY/PZ/PRotate included); a
relative path chosen before the drawing had a file becomes relative on the
first save, and relative paths start from "./" at or below the drawing's
folder; -XREF name options report "No matching xref names found.".

Attach External Reference dialog after XATTACH / ATTACH; ATTACH routes
drawings, PDFs and images; placement prompts and messages follow the
reference (presets, Corner/XYZ, nonzero check, existing definition reuse,
missing file, self-reference); name keeps the file's case; overlay and
path type at attach; one undo step for definition and INSERT; -XREF option
prompt and `?` table; XREF opens the palette; ER alias; xref Properties
rows; dependent symbols flagged and remapped and resolved content left out
of the saved file; dialog_ok automation action; localized labels.

Implement the complete Block Definition dialog window launched via BLOCK
and BMAKE commands, featuring standard CAD layout, workflows, and entity
creation pipelines.
- Dialog UI & Layout:
- 2-column compact CAD grid with synchronized vertical heights (580 × 390px).
- Editable combobox with existing block names, invalid character validation,
and inline redefinition badge.
- Multi-line text editor widget for block descriptions (replacing single-line input).
- Quick Select (QSELECT) button integration restoring dialog state upon completion.
- Confirmation guard when attempting to redefine an existing block definition.
- Centered radio buttons, clean coordinate inputs, and accessible keyboard shortcuts.
- Base Point & On-Screen Workflow:
- BlockOnScreenCommand strictly enforces prompt sequencing: Base point is
prompted before object selection.
- Dynamically recalculates world_to_block and block_to_world affine transforms
when base point is specified on-screen, preventing stale (0,0,0) normalization.
- Supports Retain, Convert to block (INSERT placement), and Delete modes.
- Explode Enforcement:
- Guarded EXPLODE command to prevent decomposing blocks flagged as non-explodable.
- Dynamic Themed Icons:
- Added pick_point.svg, select_objects.svg, quick_select.svg, and warning_triangle.svg.
- Routed all icons through the semantic theming engine so line work (#B4B6B9)
and accents (#6DB7ED) adapt automatically to the active theme.
- Tests:
- Added unit tests for retain/convert/delete modes, redefinition, explodable flag,
on-screen base point transform recalculation, and command sequencing.
acadrust follows hakanaktt/acadrust main through #107, entity-record
passthrough included; cadkernel pins the same codec rev so one acadrust
stays in the graph. Upstream added BlockFlags::is_xref_unloaded, which
XATTACH now sets to false for a freshly attached reference.

ExtrudeCommand never opted into dyn_commit_as_text(), so a typed
Enter fell through to generic point-resolution instead of
on_text_input, producing a near-zero height that silently failed
to commit. Mirror PresspullCommand's pattern, gated to the Height
step.

XREF command with status, reload, unload, detach, path, pathtype, bind, overlay, and attach options, plus guided XATTACH with unique naming and placement prompts.
Use the maintained cadkernel main revision and retain source surfaces. Verify signed and two-point input, partial failure, DWG round-trips and one-step undo/redo of solids and history objects.
Reuse the application library from the binary entry point instead of compiling the module tree twice. Keep desktop-only transports and caches out of web builds, remove unused test code, and check executable targets in CI.
- Implement `TABLEDIT` command supporting viewport point-picking on cell interiors
- Support overlapping table hit testing with selection cycling and top-table resolution
- Support `/n` and `\n` multiline paragraph breaks (`\P`) in table cell text editing
- Unify text input modes via `InputKind` (`Point`, `SingleToken`, `FreeText`) on `CadCommand`
- Migrate 15+ commands across annotate, draw, insert, layout, and view modules
- Preserve text casing, literal spaces, and bypass arithmetic eval during FreeText input
- Add dedicated `tabledit_tests` and `free_text_entry_tests` test suites
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.
