Three authored claims in SYSVAR_CATALOG were false against the engines:
- HPANG said "degrees" but ActiveX GetVariable/SetVariable (and AutoLISP
getvar) hold radians - measured on AutoCAD 2026 in a scratch document:
SetVariable(pi/4) reads back 0.7853981633974483 on both paths. The row
now says radians, like POLARANG.
- ANGBASE said "radians" with both engines True, but the DXF header stores
$ANGBASE in degrees (AutoCAD saved the 1.5708-radian seat value as 90.0)
and ezdxf read/wrote it raw, so the two engines disagreed by a factor of
57.3. EzdxfBackend now translates that header variable at its boundary
(_HEADER_DEGREE_SYSVARS): the tool speaks radians on both engines, the
file keeps degrees.
- OSMODE claimed engines.ezdxf True, but $OSMODE is an R12-only header
variable ezdxf never exports for R2000+: a headless write reported
ok: True and read back None after save + reopen. It is registry-saved
in AutoCAD, so it joins _UNSAVED_SYSVARS (refused with
capability: registry_sysvar; the facade's `osmode` key refuses and
snapshots None headlessly, like polar / polar_angle). Headless reads of
every registry-saved variable now report None instead of whatever the
ezdxf template holds in memory.
The gate that should have caught all three, tests/test_sysvar_catalog.py's
default round-trip, wrote 56 no-ops out of 66 and never saved: it now
writes a value that differs from the fresh document's for every writable
ezdxf-True entry, saves, reopens and reads back from the file. Two new
tests pin OSMODE's refusal and ANGBASE's radians-at-the-tool /
degrees-in-the-file split.

90 authored rows (type, range/enum, default, meaning, saved-in, per-engine
support, friendly key); every ezdxf claim is checked against the real
backend and the registry-saved set is pinned to what the backend refuses.
