Two authoring slips in the valve x actuator composition:
- The diaphragm actuator's stem stopped at y=4 while the dome's flat base
sat at y=6, so the canonical control-valve symbol (PID_VALVE_*_DIAPHRAGM,
9 catalogue entries) shipped with its dome floating 2 mm above the stem.
- Actuators were placed at a fixed y=4 regardless of the body, so on the
needle body (top 5.6) the piston/motor/solenoid glyphs were drawn over
the knob and the hand bar across the needle's stem; the stem line(0,0,0,4)
also duplicated the needle's own axial line (and the butterfly disc).
Placement is now body-relative: `_body` reports `axis_top` (where its own
geometry on x=0 ends) and the stem runs from there to the glyph base at
`body_top + STEM_CLEARANCE`; the diaphragm dome's base is the stem top
(base + DIAPHRAGM_YOKE), and the FAIL attribute follows the glyph base.
The reference 8x4 bodies keep their published numbers (globe+diaphragm
signal at y=9.0, bbox top 9.0).
Tests: per-combination check that the stem starts at the body's derived
axis top, the glyph's lowest edge equals the stem top, the glyph clears
the body, and the signal port is the topmost edge; plus a catalogue-wide
no-duplicate-primitives gate. 33 combinations fail on the old geometry.
The plan's Step 3 snippet is synced with the fixed module.

Plan covers the prerequisite block_insert attribute fix (ezdxf wrapped the
INSERT in an anonymous *U block and lost its ATTRIBs), the two generic
contracts, the 43-symbol catalogue, routing, the ISA-5.1 grammar, the
graph reader, deliverables, six critique focuses, pid_from_spec, TOOL_PACKS,
resources, benchmark v4, and the live COM smoke.
Spec reconciled with the plan: 43 base symbols, FUNC/LOOP at +-2.0,
solid = DXF SOLID entity, shape/direction options, example spec uses an
actuated FCV-101 (a hand valve has no signal port), refine hints in
detail["hint"], preflight LAYER_SET_INTENT_MISMATCH, radial port matching
on the circle.

Research snapshot of the AutoCAD MCP field (20 READMEs, 2026-09-14), the
seven 1.6 tracks with measurable acceptance criteria, their order
(A -> E -> B -> G -> F -> H -> D), and the tool-pack decision.
Track A: symbol catalogue authored in code (ISO 10628-2 + ISA-5.1), two
generic contracts (block_define, entity_get/set_xdata), nine pid_* tools,
routing, the ISA-5.1 tag grammar, the pid_graph reader, six critique
focuses, TOOL_PACKS, and the test/evidence plan.

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.
