feat(bench): performance lane + task-matrix chart; docs: README rebuilt around four evidence lanes

- benchmarks/perf_suite.py: fixed headless workloads (2k creates, 10k build/export/reopen, 10k region query, premium quality pass) timed through the same backend methods the tools call; machine fingerprint recorded; self-measurement only
- benchmarks/render_perf_chart.py -> docs/assets/autocad-mcp-perf.svg (log-scale wall time)
- benchmarks/render_matrix_chart.py -> docs/assets/autocad-mcp-taskmatrix.svg (tasks x servers status heatmap from published reports)
- render_live_chart now tolerates other lanes sharing results/published/
- README: PyPI-first install, four-lane benchmark section with Python-generated visuals, v1.4 feature table, updated client/config/roadmap
- published perf report: benchmarks/results/published/perf-ezdxf.json

## [Unreleased]
### Added
- **Headless performance lane** (`benchmarks/perf_suite.py` +
`render_perf_chart.py`): fixed wall-time workloads (2k individual creates,
10k build/export/reopen roundtrip, 10k region query, full premium quality
pass) measured through the same backend methods the MCP tools call;
machine fingerprint recorded, self-measurement only.
- **Task-matrix chart** (`benchmarks/render_matrix_chart.py`): tasks × servers
status heatmap rendered from the published live-run reports, so coverage
gaps are visible per capability instead of one folded score.
### Changed
- README rebuilt: PyPI-first install, a four-lane benchmark section with
Python-generated visuals (scores, task matrix, performance, source review),
v1.4 feature table, updated client/config/roadmap sections.
- `render_live_chart` now skips non-task-matrix reports so multiple lanes can
share `benchmarks/results/published/`.
_Next (1.5): screenshot overlay + handle grounding v1, ezdxf redo (forward
snapshots), COM `block_create_from_entities`, ISO 286 transition/interference
hole letters (delta rule), titleblock on paper-space layouts._

## Start in 60 seconds
## Install in 10 seconds
```bash
git clone https://github.com/U-C4N/Autocad-MCP.git
cd Autocad-MCP
python -m venv .venv
pip install autocad-mcp-pro # or: uvx autocad-mcp-pro
autocad-mcp # stdio MCP server, backend auto-selected
```
Activate the environment and start the stdio server:
```powershell
# Windows
.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1
pip install -e .
python server.py
```
Headless (no AutoCAD required, any OS) or live AutoCAD on Windows:
```bash
# macOS / Linux
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e .
python server.py
AUTOCAD_MCP_BACKEND=ezdxf autocad-mcp # portable DXF engine
AUTOCAD_MCP_BACKEND=com autocad-mcp # live AutoCAD (pip install "autocad-mcp-pro[com]")
```
That starts the headless-capable server with automatic backend selection. For
live AutoCAD control on Windows:
Extras: `[com]` live AutoCAD (pywin32 + Pillow), `[pdf]` PDF/screenshot
rendering (matplotlib), `[full]` everything. Working from a checkout is the
same commands with `pip install -e ".[full]"` and `python server.py`.
```powershell

## Benchmarks — three lanes, all reproducible
No AutoCAD installation is needed for the ezdxf backend:
Every number below is generated by a script in [`benchmarks/`](benchmarks/)
and rendered to SVG with Python (matplotlib). No hand-edited charts, no
adjectives.

## Evidence, not adjectives

The graphic is generated with Matplotlib from
[`benchmarks/source_review.json`](benchmarks/source_review.json). A fixed,
public 100-point rubric covers functional CAD breadth, correctness and delivery,
backend reach, engineering production, tests, and security.

### 2 · Task matrix — where the score comes from
## Why this architecture holds up
![Task matrix](docs/assets/autocad-mcp-taskmatrix.svg)
### One contract, two engines
The single score hides *which* capabilities exist, so the matrix shows every
task against every server: green = verified pass, amber = partial, gray = the
server documents no equivalent (planning, refinement, TABLE/MLEADER, hashed
delivery), red = attempted but failed verification.
The COM backend controls a live AutoCAD session on Windows through a
single-threaded STA executor. The ezdxf backend creates, edits, renders, and
validates DXF drawings without AutoCAD. Both return the same typed entities,
layers, blocks, drawing metadata, and capability format.
```bash
python -m benchmarks.render_matrix_chart
```
### Geometry agents do not have to guess
### 3 · Headless performance — scale evidence
Tools such as `point_from_snap`, `point_intersection`, and `point_tangent`
resolve exact construction coordinates from drawing entities. Handle-preserving
edit tools and smart selection keep agents attached to real geometry instead of
reconstructing state from prose.
![Performance](docs/assets/autocad-mcp-perf.svg)
### Quality is a loop
| Workload | Wall time | Throughput / result |
|---|---:|---|
| Create 2,000 lines (individual calls) | 0.64 s | ~3,100 entities/s |
| 10,000 lines: build + DXF export + reopen | 13.9 s | ~700 entities/s end-to-end |
| Region query over 10,000 entities | 3.4 s | 2,500 matched |
| Premium pass (layers + part + dims + full critique) | 0.32 s | 0 issues |
`drawing_preflight` checks whether an engineering request is ready to draw.
`drawing_critique` reports standards and geometry issues. `drawing_refine`
repairs the supported subset inside isolated transactions and rolls back rounds
that reduce quality. `drawing_finalize` combines structural validation,
standards critique, a scalar score, and invalidity ratio.
Workloads call the same backend methods the MCP tools call, so server-side
overhead is included. Self-measurement only — competitor servers would pay an
extra stdio serialization cost that in-process runs do not, so no cross-server
timing claims are made. Numbers move with hardware; the machine fingerprint is
recorded in the report.
### Delivery carries evidence
```bash
python -m benchmarks.perf_suite --out benchmarks/results/published/perf-ezdxf.json
python -m benchmarks.render_perf_chart
```
`drawing_deliver` creates the requested artifacts, computes SHA-256 hashes,
reopens the canonical DXF, compares entity/layer/type counts and bounds, and
writes `manifest.json` plus `validation.json`. A successful tool call is not
treated as proof that the drawing survived export.
### 4 · Source-reviewed capability rubric (context)
![Source-reviewed AutoCAD MCP capability benchmark](docs/assets/autocad-mcp-benchmark.svg)
Six named AutoCAD MCP projects scored against a fixed public 100-point rubric
(CAD breadth, correctness and delivery, backend reach, engineering production,
tests, security), generated from
[`benchmarks/source_review.json`](benchmarks/source_review.json). This is a
dated source review — evidence grade **A** means source plus executable local
evidence was reviewed; **B** means the live AutoCAD path was not fully
executed. It is not a shared live run; lanes 1-3 above are the runtime
evidence. Full rubric, caveats and the version A/B suite:
[`benchmarks/README.md`](benchmarks/README.md).
## What ships in v1.4
| Area | Tools |
|---|---|
| Drawing lifecycle | create, open, save, export DXF/PDF, audit, purge, undo/redo |
| Geometry | lines, arcs, polylines, splines, hatches, trim/extend/fillet/chamfer, handle-preserving edits |
| Annotation | ISO 129 toleranced dimensions, **ISO 286 fits** (`fit="H7"`), TABLE, MLEADER, GD&T frames + datums (ISO 1101) |
| Engineering generators | involute gears (front + section A-A), DIN 6885 keyed bores, ISO A3 titleblock |
| **Paper space** *(new)* | `layout_list/create/set_current`, scaled `viewport_create`, `drawing_export_pdf(layout=...)` |
| **3D solids** *(new, opt-in)* | `solid_box/cylinder/extrude/revolve/boolean` on live AutoCAD (`ENABLE_3D=true`) |
| Quality loop | `drawing_preflight` → `drawing_plan` → `drawing_critique` → `drawing_refine` → `drawing_finalize` (0-100 score) |
| Delivery | `drawing_deliver`: DXF/PDF/PNG + SHA-256 manifest + reopen-parity checks |
| Discovery | **tool profiles** *(new)*: `TOOL_PROFILE=lean` (~46 tools) / `core` / `full` for clients with tight tool caps |
The tool surface evolves — ask `system_about` for the live grouped inventory
and `system_capabilities` for per-backend support modes instead of copying
lists from this README.

uses deterministic orchestration and validation:

- `server.py` owns the FastMCP surface, lifespan, middleware, resources, and

- `backends/base.py` defines the shared contract and capability model.
- `backends/com_backend.py` serializes COM calls through one STA thread with
per-call timeouts.

`asyncio.to_thread` and snapshot-based transactions.

## Security model
The server treats tool input as untrusted:
Tool input is treated as untrusted:
- Every file path passes through traversal and allowed-root validation.
- Dangerous AutoCAD commands and AutoLISP channels are blocked by default.
- Remote HTTP requires explicit opt-in and a bearer token.
- DXF size, query-result size, undo history, and COM call duration are bounded.
- Audit middleware records tool timing and failures.
- `system_status` and `system_about` expose `unsafe_mode` when dangerous
- every path passes traversal + allowed-root validation;
- dangerous AutoCAD commands and AutoLISP channels are blocked by default,
with regression tests for known bypass patterns;
- remote HTTP requires explicit opt-in plus a bearer token;
- DXF size, response sizes, undo history and COM call duration are bounded;
- audit middleware records tool timing and failures;
- `system_status` / `system_about` expose `unsafe_mode` when dangerous
operations are enabled.
`DANGEROUS_COMMANDS_ENABLED=true` is a trust decision, not an installation
shortcut. Keep it disabled for agents or clients you do not fully control.
