Task 24 (merge sanity) on main after the five track E groups merged.
- TOOL_PACK_NAMES = ("core", "pid", "settings"); PACK_TOOL_NAMES["settings"]
is exactly the 22 SECTION 20 tools. Styles and page setup stay in core.
- LEAN_TOOL_NAMES += page_setup_apply, batch_plot (53 -> 55).
- _GROUP_TAG_PRIORITY / _GROUP_TAG_LABELS: "style" moved up next to "pid",
"pagesetup" -> page_setup and "environment" -> environment added; the 28
SECTION 19/20 decorators gain their section tag, so _tool_groups() reports
styles 10 / page_setup 6 / environment 22 (23 groups, 204 tools) and
pack == group == section for the settings pack.
- SECTION headers, backends/base.py composition, contracts/__init__.py
exports and the layer_states feature entry were already correct after the
merge (read and confirmed, nothing edited).
- Pack text: config.py, .env.example, README config row; README <sub> line
204 tools in 23 groups; release snapshot 3259 collected tests (measured).
- docs/tool-inventory.json regenerated; registry snapshot re-derived.
- tests: test_tool_packs.py replaced (11 tests), test_capability_contract.py
+3 (composition, the agreed capability flags, layer_states honesty),
golden set +10 tuning cases (81 = 66 tuning + 15 holdout); all ten route
in the top 3 without alias edits.
Deviation from the plan text: TRACK_E_KEYS carries five keys, not six. The
plan's "mleaderstyle" (ezdxf True / com False) contradicts spec §8.1, which
retracted that key because the ActiveX route exists (§4.2); measured on the
tree: capability_keys() == {boundary_trace, chspace, interactive_prompt,
live_application, preferences, revcloud, wipeout}, and
ComBackend.mleaderstyle_create is a native implementation
(backends/com_backend.py:6752, is_capability_default -> False). The test now
also asserts the key is absent.
No new ActiveX call was written in this task, so no live probe was needed.

TOOL_PACKS=all (default) | comma list of core,pid. core is everything not
claimed by another pack and can never be dropped; unknown entries are
ignored with a warning. Pack hiding composes with TOOL_PROFILE=lean (the
lean set now carries pid_symbol_insert / pid_line_draw / pid_graph, 50
tools) and ENABLE_3D. system_about reports {enabled, available, ignored};
cad_batch's unknown_tool rejection names the TOOL_PACKS gate.

`add_diameter_dim` / `add_radius_dim` measure to the point they are handed;
`leader_length` is a text placement. The ezdxf backend passed
`centre + (radius + leader)` as that point, so the leader became part of the
measurement: a true 40 mm bore was dimensioned 60 at the default
`leader_length=10`, and 108 at 34. Radius callouts were `leader_length` too
large the same way.
This is the worst class of defect for this project -- a wrong number, at
default settings, on the one part of a drawing that exists to carry numbers --
and it shipped in v1.4.0 and earlier. The size now comes from `radius` and
`location` only places the text.
The live COM backend was never affected: ActiveX's AddDimDiametric takes the
two chord points and the leader length as separate arguments. The two engines
had been disagreeing by 2 x leader_length on the same call.
Found while building the drawing for the new README, whose own bore callout was
wrong. Two checks added to correctness_suite.py; both report fail -> pass
against v1.4.0, not miss -> pass, which is what separates a repaired defect
from new capability in that lane. A/B is now 21/26 -> 26/26, five fixed, zero
regressed.
README rewritten from scratch
- Hero is a real ISO A3 sheet the server drew: m6 z24 involute spur gear, DIN
6885 keyed bore, section A-A, ISO 129 dimensions, ISO 286 H7 fit, ISO 7200
title block, 56 entities, drawing_critique clean. New
scripts/render_readme_showcase.py rebuilds it, and the tool-call sequence
that produces it is printed in the page.
- Star history chart, badge row, capability matrix, five evidence lanes, and a
"what this release is bad at" section carrying the 28% throughput regression.
- Every image and repo link is now an absolute URL: README.md is the PyPI long
description, where relative paths 404.
Corrections this work forced, all measured
- The df=0 example was wrong. FILLET is already in entity_fillet's own text;
the commands that genuinely scored zero are WBLOCK, PEDIT, OVERKILL,
LAYTRANS and MATCHPROP.
- 40,305 tokens is the tools/list wire payload; ~25,143 is the part forwarded
to the model. The old wording said "of schema", which is neither.
- `--tokenizer anthropic` needs a package and credentials this repo does not
lock, and refuses rather than falling back. Said so.
- Discovery ranks over the 149-tool advertised catalog, not the 154 registered.
- Five middlewares, not four; the fifth is what makes refusals machine-readable.
- Five of the 27 capability keys are environment-dependent, so the matrix
carries footnotes instead of bare ticks.
- "Every coordinate is WCS" has one deliberate exception: TEXT rotation.
- render_live_chart's axis still said "fixed 10-task matrix" while our bar came
from v3's fifteen. Each bar now carries its own matrix.
- .env.example said MAX_UNDO_STACK=50 (code: 5) and omitted four real
variables, two of them the remote-HTTP controls.
- server.json described an empty ALLOWED_PATHS as blocking access. It disables
the allowlist.
- server.py called the lean profile ~46 tools; it is 47.
- backends/capability.py cited a test file that does not exist.
1249 passed, 1 xfailed.

Tool count 131 -> 154; 474 -> 1242 collected tests.
The release exists for two measured reasons. A 149-tool catalog costs a client
~40,300 tokens before it has asked for anything, and a drafter searching the way
drafters think -- FILLET, BPOLY, QSELECT, WBLOCK -- scored df=0 against the stock
index, because those words were simply not in the data.
Discovery and batching
- DISCOVERY_MODE=search replaces the catalog with search_tools + call_tool,
ranked over an AutoCAD command and synonym corpus (discovery/aliases.py) on
top of fastmcp's BM25 index. Measured: 40,305 -> 356 tokens advertised.
- cad_batch runs a step list in one round trip; fields= projects result-heavy
responses. The `core` profile is gone -- discovery replaced it.
Honesty debt (Tier 0)
- OCS/ECS: `extrusion` appeared nowhere in this codebase, so mirrored and
rotated geometry reported coordinates that were quietly wrong. backends/ocs.py
translates at the backend boundary; every tool coordinate is WCS on both
engines, and a tilted plane refuses rather than answering with a number that
looks fine.
- drawing_save_as(fmt="dwg") wrote DXF bytes to a .dwg path. drawing_audit never
repaired. analysis_measure_area shoelaced points the caller typed in.
- ezdxf calls gained a per-call timeout, so one hung call can no longer wedge a
server whose document lock is a single asyncio.Lock.
Architecture
- The 1854-line backend ABC is 19 contract modules; @capability(key, reason=)
makes optional methods declarative and a gate fails on undeclared holes.
- 8 layout/viewport tools, CHSPACE, CAD_PROGID escape hatch.
- Wave A: selection filters, boundary tracing, hatch depth, annotation objects,
measurement -- 13 tools of a planned 39. The REGION and 2D-boolean family was
cut on evidence: add_region() yields zero ACIS bytes and the greiner_hormann
substitute loses 28.2% of the area on a square with one semicircular edge.
Verified against a live AutoCAD 2026, which found four COM defects no amount of
reading would have caught -- AcadPViewport has no ViewCenter, and the line that
set it had been swallowed by a bare except since v1.4.
Benchmark v3 (15 tasks) and what it caught
- v2 scored this server 10/10, which carried no information: every task in it
exercised something the server was built around. Five tasks were added because
they can fail, and three did while being written -- a hatch could not be
measured though the refusal listed HATCH as measurable, the boundary tools and
the measure tool disagreed about the same shape (139.2177 vs 139.2699), and a
circle stored as two bulged vertices measured 0.0.
- Competitor reports are NOT re-scored. They are pinned v1.4 runs against v2 and
were never asked these five questions; the chart shows those rows `not run`.
- Correctness A/B: 21/24 -> 24/24, zero regressions.
Performance, stated plainly
The published v1.4 perf report was recorded on CPython 3.14 and the new one on
3.11.15, so the apparent 2-6x speedup is the interpreter, not this release.
Re-measured on one interpreter, v1.5.0 is 28% slower creating entities and 22%
slower on the 10k roundtrip. Fully attributed: EZDXF_CALL_TIMEOUT=0 restores
v1.4.0's exact numbers. That is the deadlock fix being paid for, the knob is
documented, and winning it back is on the 1.6 roadmap.
