Umut CANandClaude Opus 5 e24b46d6f0 fix: three measurement defects the adversarial triage surfaced
**COM discarded areas it had already read.** `entity_measure` fell back to
rebuilding geometry from `.Coordinates` when `.Area` *or* `.Length` was
missing, coupling two independent property reads. HATCH, REGION and 3DSOLID
expose `.Area` and neither of the others, so the fallback fired, found no
vertices, and raised "AutoCAD reported neither an area nor usable vertices" --
while holding the area. Those are the exact types the README sells the COM
backend on. Now only a missing `.Area` triggers the fallback; an absent
perimeter is reported as `None` with `perimeter_exact: False` instead of being
invented, which also removes a `round(None, 6)` TypeError waiting for the first
type that answers `.Area` and nothing else.

**A plain square hatch reported itself self-intersecting.** `ezdxf.path
.flattening()` repeats the start point, and `is_self_intersecting` excluded
adjacent edges *by index*, so with the duplicate present the first and last
real edges were cross-tested and registered as crossing. Measured: a 40x40
SOLID hatch came back `area: 1600.0, self_intersecting: True`. A closed loop
now answers the same whether or not it carries its closing vertex, and a real
bowtie is still caught (`area: 0.0, self_intersecting: True`).

**The bowtie warning never fired on the live backend.** `self_intersecting` was
only computed inside the COM fallback, so an LWPOLYLINE bowtie -- which has
both `.Area` and `.Length` and never reaches it -- returned `area: 0.0,
self_intersecting: null`. The confident zero this field exists to flag, going
out unflagged. It is now computed on the normal path too.

Also corrects a docstring written earlier today in `contracts/analysis.py`
claiming the live backend "asks AutoCAD for `.Area`, which has already applied
the [hatch island] style". Whether ActiveX's hatch area applies the style is
not verified against a live seat, and the method could not measure a hatch at
all. It now says so.

The ActiveX member profiles behind the COM tests are assumptions, not facts,
and the tests say so; a live seat settles them. `.Circumference` for CIRCLE and
`.Perimeter` for REGION are deliberately NOT added here -- writing more members
from the reference is what produced four wrong beliefs in v1.4/v1.5.

1267 passed, 1 xfailed.

Umut CANandClaude Opus 5 b03a7615b1 release: v1.5.0 — discovery layer, honesty debt closed, Wave A
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.
