Resolve entities' XDATA class-identity keys through the live plugin manager
(new `src/plugin/entity_labels.rs`) and qualify display types as
"<Label> (<Native>)" wherever the bare native type is shown today.
- The single-entity Properties panel title (and the node graph, which shares
the same computation) becomes e.g. "Linear Element (Line)". Host-owned
classifications (xref, dynamic constraints, underlays, surfaces) keep the
native parenthesized part, so nothing they tell the user is lost.
- The records API's `entities` collection: `display_type` carries the
qualified label; the raw `type` / `record_type` fields stay native so
existing scripts, type filters, and by-type grouping keep working.
- The automation entity summary gains a `display_type` field with the same
semantics; `type` stays raw. Exposed by `query`, `user_select` sessions,
and `get_selection`.
Semantics: the identity (a stable class KEY like "CVIFC-CLASS:LINE") lives
in the entity's XDATA and round-trips the drawing; the display LABELS live
in the declaring plugin's manifest. Keys only — no display text is ever
written to the file, and the label never governs behavior (display-only: it
does not affect snapping, selection, filtering, or grouping). Gating rides
live manager state at query time, so without a loaded declaring plugin every
surface here is byte-identical to today, immediately after any reopen, with
no re-assert pass. The command-line LIST output deliberately stays on the raw
dxf name. An app id claimed by more than one loaded plugin resolves through
the first-loaded declaration and debug-logs the ignored duplicate; a
prefix-only value, an unknown key, or an empty label mapping fall back to
the native type.
Tests: resolver core (known key, foreign app ignored, record without an
identity value ignored, prefix-only / unknown key / empty label fallback,
duplicate app id first-wins), the empty-manager gating end-to-end through
`with_manager`, the "<Label> (<Native>)" form, and the byte-identical
fallbacks asserted at the panel, records, and query layers for entities
stamped with a perfect identity record.
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 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,

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.
