Three findings, one family: a guard that reads the WRONG SET silently stops
guarding and the drawing gets a duplicate or a wrong number with no refusal.
1. Layout-scoped state was read from the wrong space. add_revision called
read_revisions and add_balloon called read_balloons BEFORE enter_layout;
both read entity_list, which follows the current space, so the guard
inspected Model while the rows and balloons lived on the layout -- and the
layout is the sheet workflow (sheet_frame and titleblock_apply both take
one). Measured headlessly: two revision_add(rev="B", layout="SHEET1") calls
both returned created=True, handles 46 and 5A, both bbox
{min [230,273], max [410,287]} -- a second heading band and a second B row
drawn exactly on top of the first, twelve TEXTs on the tab instead of six.
Both reads now happen inside the entered layout, and the whole body sits in
the try/ so the caller's tab comes back on the refusal path too.
2. bom_extract truncated the parts list at 200 INSERTs and printed a wrong QTY
into a real TABLE. extract_records passed its own limit=200 default straight
to entity_list, the tool exposed no limit, and nothing in the payload said
the list had been cut: 250 bolts reported [("ISO 4014 - M12x60", 200)].
all_entities now pages entity_list (offset loop, PAGE_SIZE 1000, plus a
no-new-handles guard so a backend that ignored offset cannot spin) and
extract_records(limit=None) reads the whole drawing. bom_extract exposes
limit (0 = no cap) and reports truncated measured, by asking for one record
past the cap.
3. The balloon clash guard did not fire in two routine cases. (a) targets is
optional in the tool, so the clash test compared () != () -- False -- and
two untargeted balloons carried item 1 with no refusal. The renumber arm
above has already returned for the balloon that stands for these targets, so
anything still carrying the number is a clash, whatever its targets; the
message names the handle and says "no targets" when it has none. (b)
read_balloons and read_revisions took entity_list's 200-entity default, so a
drawing whose first 200 CIRCLEs are a hole pattern read back no balloons at
all and every guard passed blind -- and index = len(existing) restarted at
0, stacking revision bands. Both readers now go through all_entities.
Evidence, headless (ezdxf), each finding's own repro before -> after:
1 created True/True, handles 46+5A, 12 TEXTs -> created True/False, one
handle 46, 6 TEXTs; renumbered False/False -> False/True, same handle 33
2 records 200, rows [(..., 200)] -> records 250, rows [(..., 250)]
3a two balloons handles 2F+35, no refusal -> refused, naming balloon 2F
3b read_balloons() == () with 206 circles -> the balloon past the 200th
circle is found, the rerun renumbers, the item-1/BBB clash is refused
3c 200 notes + rev A twice + rev B -> created True/False/True, row 1 then
row 2 (was: every band at row 1, on top of the last)
Six regression tests added: one per finding plus the layout-scoped twin of
each, which is what would have caught all three.
The live engine was UNAVAILABLE for this round:
win32com.client.GetActiveObject("AutoCAD.Application") did not return within
90 s against the running acad.exe (PID 40068), and the ComBackend probe timed
out on its first call at both COM_CALL_TIMEOUT=60 and 180. No second AutoCAD
was launched and no document was opened. No new ActiveX call is introduced by
this fix -- it only reorders existing calls and pages entity_list(offset=),
which both engines already implement.

SECTION 24 grows to six tools: revision_add, bom_extract, bom_table,
balloon_add.
bom_extract reads. It walks the INSERTs through the generic members already in
the contract -- entity_list, block_get_attributes, entity_get_xdata -- and
returns parts-list rows from the ACADMCP_MECH std_part payload, falling back to
the block's own ATTRIBs and reporting which of the two each row came from. A
block with neither is skipped rather than guessed at, and the tool never writes
to the drawing.
bom_table draws the rows as a real TABLE, 180 mm wide (ISO 7573: the item list
is as wide as the title block), growing upwards from directly above it with the
heading row against the block and item 1 the row above -- which is what ISO 7573
asks for on a drawing. A TABLE is drawn downwards from its insertion point, so
the upward list is inserted a table height above its anchor with the heading as
the last row; one table_layout feeds both the real TABLE and the pure
table_prims, so the two renderings cannot disagree.
balloon_add draws the ISO 6433 reference -- numeral, leader, dot on the item --
and writes the balloon payload naming its targets. A rerun over the same
targets renumbers that balloon instead of drawing a second one, and an item
number already used for different targets is refused by name with the other
balloon's handle.
revision_add appends a row to the revision block, is idempotent per revision
code (a repeat draws nothing at all), and optionally clouds the changed regions
and tags them with the triangle. Clouds are refused up front, carrying
capability "revcloud", on an engine that has no revcloud member -- the COM
backend -- rather than leaving half a revision behind.
Declared: ISO 7200 does not standardise the revision block's geometry and
ISO 7573 does not fix the item list's column widths or row height, so both
reuse this repository's 180 mm / 7 mm ruling and say so in their SOURCE
docstrings. ISO 6433's "numeral at least twice the dimension character height"
is met by the numeral being 1.4x the balloon radius: the 4 mm default clears
2.5 mm dimension text, and balloon_add's docstring tells a sheet dimensioned at
3.5 mm to pass radius=5.0.
Three corrections to what the plan wrote, each measured rather than assumed:
* extract_records read `block_get_attributes(...)["attributes"]`. Both engines
return the flat {tag: value} mapping itself (ezdxf_backend.py:6687 builds it
from `ent.attribs`, com_backend.py:5703 from `ref.GetAttributes()` as
{TagString: TextString}), so every attribute fallback would have been
silently empty -- measured headlessly, where a PLATE insert carrying only a
DESIGNATION ATTRIB extracted to nothing.
* draw_bom_table now reports `entity_type` / `representation` /
`child_handles`. `entity_create_table` returns EntityInfo(type="TABLE") whose
handle is the first CHILD of a composite on the headless engine, so reading
that handle back gives a rule LINE, not an ACAD_TABLE -- the contract
tests/test_table_leader.py already pins. A caller that means to edit the
table afterwards has to be told which of the two it got.
* add_revision reports one `tags` entry per tag asked for ({at, handles}), not
one per entity: a tag is two primitives, so a flat handle list claimed twice
as many tags as the caller requested.
Discovery: `bom_extract` / `bom_table` / `balloon_add` each entered the index
heavy with "parts"/"list" tokens and took top-1 for the bare query "parts list"
away from `entity_create_table` (a BM25 tie broken alphabetically). Narrowed on
my side only -- the reader speaks of the bill of materials, the drawer names a
table, the balloon names an item -- never by touching the golden case.

SECTION 24 opens with sheet_frame and titleblock_apply.
engineering/sheet/frames.py transcribes ISO 216's trimmed sizes, ISO 5457's
20 mm filing margin and 10 mm edges, the grid reference system (an even number
of divisions per side, that side of the frame over 50 mm; letters from the top,
numbers from the left), the centring marks (trimmed edge to 5 mm inside the
frame) and the 10 x 5 mm corner trimming marks. Every one of those numbers is
pinned by a test against the clause it comes from, because a wrong margin is
visible on every drawing this server makes.
engineering/sheet/titleblock.py draws the ISO 7200 block -- 180 mm wide, which
is exactly the drawing-space width of a portrait A4, which is why one block
fits every size -- and carries the ISO 128-30 projection-angle symbol. Which
symbol is which is derived rather than remembered: first-angle projection puts
the view seen from the left on the right, and the view of the cone from its
small end is the small circle inside the large one, so first angle draws the
cone left and the circles right.
The old A3 module folds in. apply_iso_a3_titleblock now forwards to
apply_titleblock(size="A3", projection=None, zones=False, marks=False), which is
the geometry it always drew, and tests/test_engineering_titleblock.py passes
unchanged -- that is the regression gate for the fold.
No new ActiveX member is called: both tools reach the drawing only through
contract members the A3 title block has used on both engines since v1.0
(entity_create_polyline / _line / _circle / _text, layout_list,
layout_set_current), so there was nothing to probe live.
Declared, not glossed: the zone divisions drawn here are equal, so ISO 5457's
allowance for shorter corner fields is not implemented; the division counts,
which are what a zone reference quotes, are the standard's. ISO 7200's full
optional-field list is not transcribed, only the fields this block has a cell
for. Coverage is A4-A0; an unknown size is refused by name with the five it has.

AcadApplication has no GetVariable/SetVariable members; they live on
AcadDocument. Measured on the running AutoCAD 2026 (25.1s, 2026-09-22,
scratch Documents.Add(), Close(False)):
hasattr(app, 'GetVariable') -> False
hasattr(app, 'SetVariable') -> False
app.GetVariable('INSUNITS') -> AttributeError: ... IAcadApplication
instance ... has no attribute 'GetVariable'
doc.GetVariable('INSUNITS') -> 4
doc.GetVariable('MEASUREMENT') -> 1
doc.GetVariable('FILEDIA') -> 1; doc.SetVariable('FILEDIA', 0) -> None,
reads back 0, restored to 1
doc.GetVariable('AUDITCTL') -> 0, 'CMDACTIVE' -> 0, 'USERS1' -> ''
Fifteen call sites in backends/com_backend.py still went through the
Application inside `try/except ... log.debug`, so on a live seat they
silently degraded: MEASUREMENT defaulted every seat to metric,
drawing_info reported units from a failed INSUNITS read, drawing_audit
never set AUDITCTL, the CMDACTIVE guards of system_run_command /
system_run_lisp never fired and run_lisp never read USERS1 back. All are
rerouted through `_acad_doc()`; the try/except stays only where an
optional read is defaulted (INSUNITS -> "Unknown", AUDITCTL absent on a
host that lacks it, USERS1 after the expression ran) and the log line
says so.
Linetype loading, measured the same way: `SendCommand("_-LINETYPE _LOAD
CENTER acadiso.lin\n\n")` loads nothing with FILEDIA=0 and leaves the
command at `Enter an option [?/Create/Load/Set]:` (LASTPROMPT), which
makes the whole seat answer RPC_E_CALL_REJECTED to every client until
ESC is pressed; with FILEDIA=1 it opens the modal "Select Linetype File"
dialog. `doc.Linetypes.Load("CENTER", "acadiso.lin")` returns None and
the table grows 3 -> 4; a repeat raises 'Duplicate record name', an
unknown name 'Undefined linetype', a missing file 'File system error'.
`_ensure_linetype_loaded` and `linetype_load` now call `Linetypes.Load`
(MEASUREMENT still read on the document to pick the .lin), touch no
FILEDIA, and report a failure with the English excepinfo description.
`apply_standard` reads every variable it will write before the first
style is created, so a read the engine refuses is a refusal with nothing
written (it used to fail after ISO-25 / ISOCP were created and current).
Fakes: every application fake refuses GetVariable/SetVariable
(tests/test_styles.py's COM fixture carried them on the Application,
enshrining the wrong shape); the members exist on document fakes only.
Regression tests per rerouted site: linetype load via Linetypes.Load with
MEASUREMENT on the document, drawing_info units from the document,
AUDITCTL set/restored on the document, CMDACTIVE/USERS1 on the document,
apply_standard refusing before any write.
Live end-to-end with the real ComBackend on a scratch document:
apply_standard('iso') -> INSUNITS 4, ISO-25 (already in acadiso.dwt,
created: false) and ISOCP (created: true) current, second call created:
false / changed: {}; linetype_load('CENTER') -> Linetypes 3 -> 4, FILEDIA
stays 1, repeat already_loaded, 'NOSUCHLT' refused by name;
_ensure_linetype_loaded('HIDDEN') -> 3 -> 4; drawing_info units 'mm';
drawing_audit AUDITCTL 0 -> 0; system_run_command ok;
system_run_lisp('(+ 40 2)') -> '42'.

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.

Five tuning cases for the styles surface (DDIM, the ISO-25 set-current
paraphrase, the one-call drafting-standard paraphrase, the isocp text
style, and the dimstyle counting question) — measured against the live
catalog every one ranks top-1, so no alias vocabulary changed. The
docstring count moves to seventy-one (56 tuning + 15 holdout); the
holdout set is untouched.
Lean decision (spec §8.2): dimstyle_set_current, textstyle_set_current
and drawing_apply_standard join LEAN_TOOL_NAMES (50 -> 53); the seven
authoring/list tools stay full-only and all ten stay in core (no pack
claims them). Pinned by the new profile test in tests/test_styles.py,
written async like the rest of that module (its module-wide asyncio
mark warns on a sync test).

Live AutoCAD writes a real .dwt through SaveAs(path, ac2018_Template = 66) and
puts the description into the summary Comments; headlessly a .dxf template is
written through drawing_save_as and a .dwt request is refused with capability
dwt_write, naming the DXF route and the COM route. drawing_save_as's "dwt"
entry was 5 (acR13_dxf): a DWT request wrote an R13 DXF under a .dwt name.
Probed live on AutoCAD 2026 (typelib: ac2018_Template = 66, acR13_dxf = 5,
acTemplateDwg absent; the saved file starts AC1032, the document is rebound,
Comments takes). SECTION 19 is now 6 tools; SAVEAS joins SHARED_ACAD_COMMANDS;
templates/README.md documents the two files per template.

Documents.Add(<file>) accepts only a genuine DWT. Measured on AutoCAD 2026:
Add(templates/iso_a3_pid.dxf) returned the default acadiso drawing (layers
['0'], Layout1/Layout2) exactly as Add() and Add(<missing.dwt>) did, so
drawing_new(template=<bundled name>) reported ok:true with source
'bundled_dxf' over a blank document, and the explicit .dxf path route was
just as blank. ComBackend.drawing_new now converts any non-.dwt template
through AutoCAD itself (Documents.Open read-only -> SaveAs ac2018_Template,
older constants tried next -> Close(False)), caches the .dwt in the temp
folder keyed on path/size/mtime, hands Add the .dwt, and refuses a missing
template file instead of letting Add default silently. The tool result
carries template.dwt / template.dwt_cached. Re-measured end to end through
server.drawing_new on the real ComBackend: ansi_b_mech -> 11 layers, tab B,
DIMTAD 0 / DIMTIH 1 / DIMEXO 1.5; iso_a3_pid -> 17 layers, tab A3, second
call reuses the cached .dwt (0.8 s conversion once). Fake-ActiveX tests pin
the call shape and that the conversion document never stays open.
Headlessly the build's fallback wrote spec 4.1 only as header DIM variables,
and the renderer folds six of them, so DIMTAD/TIH/TOH/EXE/EXO/GAP/LUNIT/LWD
were a no-op: ansi_b_mech dimensioned with ISO text placement while
system_get_variable and AutoCAD said ANSI. The fallback now also stores each
value on the Standard dimstyle; the five DXFs are rebuilt (--check passes)
and a test reads the effective values off a DIMENSION drawn from each
template and asserts header and style agree.

An ISA-5.1 signal line has no pipe line number, yet every pneumatic /
electric line got the bare sequence as its number and a label, and ate a
process sequence number. Signal classes now leave line_number None (a
verbatim one is still honoured), seq None, no label. A radial port aimed
at the far end even with waypoints, so the first segment cut through the
bubble; aim_points (lines.py) aims at the first/last waypoint for both
draw_line and the dry run.
Merge note: benchmarks/adapters/autocad_mcp_pro.py (final group's file)

the signal row is unnumbered, the connector row is 3.

Four review findings against the COM styles block, all measured on AutoCAD 2026
(scratch documents from Documents.Add, closed without saving):
1. textstyle_create: `TextStyle.fontFile = "arial.ttf"` raises 'Filer error' for
every bare TrueType name (bundled presets included) after TextStyles.Add has
run, leaving a stub with an empty font that a retry meets as "already exists";
a full path is accepted but the STYLE record then carries the machine path.
`SetFont("Arial", bold, italic, 0, 0)` — the STYLE dialog's own route — stores
the clean `arial.ttf`. The font is now located before Add (`_com_locate_font`:
support path, then the Windows font folders), a TrueType is written by the
family/subfamily read from its `name` table (`_truetype_face`), an SHX by the
name given, an unlocatable file is refused with nothing written, and a write
ActiveX still refuses after Add deletes the entry it added.
2. _ensure_com_textstyle goes through the same helper, so DIMTXSTY / text_style
ARIAL and ISOCPEUR are created on the first call with a real font instead of
failing once and then silently binding a fontless style.
3. dimstyle_create / dimstyle_modify check a user DIMBLK/DIMBLK1/DIMBLK2 against
doc.Blocks before any write (`_com_require_arrowhead_blocks`, the headless
`_require_arrowhead_blocks` twin, same message and table-spelling rewrite);
a write that fails after DimStyles.Add restores the previous ActiveDimStyle
(discarding the unsaved overrides) and deletes the half-made style and any
preset text style the call created.
4. _com_dimensions_using un-narrows each `Layouts.Item(i).Block.Item(p)` —
declared IAcadEntity*, so `.StyleName` raised AttributeError under a makepy
cache and the blanket except reported `[]` — and swallows nothing.
The fake in tests/test_styles.py now models the measured ActiveX rules (bare
TrueType fontFile refused, SetFont by installed typeface, SetVariable refusing an
unknown arrowhead, IAcadEntity narrowing on block items, Delete) so the old code
cannot pass; nine tests cover the four findings. SECTION 18 docstrings state the
live engine's refusal rule for fonts and the pre-write arrowhead check.

4fe2d96 matched custom keys with str.casefold(), but AutoCAD's key compare
is a simple one-to-one case compare, not Unicode full case folding.
Measured on AutoCAD 2026 (AddCustomInfo of the second spelling over the
first on a scratch document, Close(False)): Project/PROJECT, Grün/GRÜN,
é/É, ÿ/Ÿ, ł/Ł, σ/Σ, я/Я and dž/DŽ are one key ('Duplicate key'), while
Straße/STRASSE, ẞ/ß, kelvin/Kelvin-sign, µ/Μ, σς/ΣΣ and Dž/DŽ are two keys
(both stored) -- every one of those six is casefold()-equal. So with
'Straße' present, `custom={'BEFORE': 'b', 'STRASSE': 's2', 'AFTER': ...}`
was routed to SetCustomByKey, AutoCAD answered 'Key not found', and the
request raised with subject and BEFORE applied and AFTER never written --
the half-write class the fix claimed to close; a delete of 'STRASSE' over
'Straße' raised the same way; headlessly 'STRASSE' overwrote the 'Straße'
value instead of becoming a second tag; and the validator refused
{'Straße', 'STRASSE'} with a reason AutoCAD contradicts.
COM no longer routes from a Python approximation. An exact spelling goes
to SetCustomByKey; anything else is AddCustomInfo, and its 'Duplicate key'
(excepinfo scode -2145386475, measured) falls back to SetCustomByKey. A
delete is RemoveCustomByKey, and its 'Key not found' (scode -2145386476)
is reported as not deleted. Any other com_error keeps propagating. The
scode is matched before the English description because the HRESULT text
is localised.
The headless engine and the validator match on `custom_key_fold`: a
per-character fold to lowercase only when lower()/upper() are single
characters that round-trip and the character is one of the two; it never
changes string length and reproduces every measured pair (ß, ς, µ, the
Kelvin sign, Dž, ı and İ stay as they are). Docstrings in settings.py and
server.py now state that rule instead of 'case-insensitive'.
Tests: parametrized fold over the measured SAME / DISTINCT table (plus a
pin that casefold() merges the six DISTINCT pairs, which is why 4fe2d96
regressed), validator acceptance of each DISTINCT pair, headless
side-by-side storage and deletion of each pair, the fake SummaryInfo now
matches by the same fold and raises pywintypes.com_error with the
measured excepinfo tuples, the COM half-write scenario for each pair
(no SetCustomByKey guess, 'Key not found' delete tolerated, rest of the
request lands), the 'Duplicate key' fallback, and an unrelated
SummaryInfo failure still raising. The scodes were measured live before
the change; AutoCAD stopped answering COM (blocked in another agent's
command or a modal dialog) before the post-change re-run, so that run
is recorded as not done.

SECTION 19 grows to five tools with drawing_template_list; drawing_new takes a
bundled name (iso_a3_mech, iso_a1_arch, iso_a3_pid, ansi_b_mech, ansi_d_arch)
or a .dwt/.dxf path and reports template: {name|path, path, source}.
scripts/build_templates.py builds templates/*.dxf through EzdxfBackend
(layer set, header DIM variables until group S's styles land, drawing_settings,
sheet tab, ISO 5457 frame on A3, page_setup_apply) and --check pins them
reproducible. One drift the plan's same-process measurement could not see is
fixed at the source rather than masked: ezdxf orders CLASSES by set iteration,
so two processes disagreed on LAYOUT / ACDBPLACEHOLDER; the section is re-keyed
(required list first, then by name) before the save.
The root .gitignore ignores *.dxf as generated output; templates/*.dxf is
un-ignored there, since the bundled set is the one DXF that is committed.

Two review findings on 32821c6.
1. Once the shielded rollback body runs after a real client cancellation it
can fail (the COM hard timeout, _safe_send_command's own deadline, an
ezdxf quarantine refusal). That RuntimeError escaped run_spec as an
ordinary error and the mcp lowlevel server, which had already answered
the cancelled request, tried to respond a second time: `assert not
self._completed` in mcp/shared/session.py escaped the server task group
and the whole session died (measured through the real transport: the next
system_status was never answered and Client.__aexit__ re-raised the
AssertionError). run_spec now decides by the exception it is handling:
after a cancellation the rollback error is logged and the cancellation is
what propagates, so the SDK's cancellation suppression applies; after any
other error the rollback error propagates as before, with the original
chained as its context.
2. The docstring promised the rollback on both engines, but on the live
AutoCAD 2026 ComBackend.transaction_rollback sent `_UNDO B` with no UNDO
Mark in the stack (StartUndoMark/EndUndoMark form an undo *group*, not a
Mark), AutoCAD answered "This will undo everything. OK? <Y>", SendCommand
blocked at that prompt, _run gave up after 60 s, the entities stayed and
every COM client was rejected until a human pressed ESC. transaction_begin
now types `_.UNDO _M` before StartUndoMark (refused with ok:false while
CMDACTIVE, where the Mark would be swallowed as input), and
transaction_rollback ends the group and sends `_.UNDO _B`, which returns
exactly to that Mark - also on an empty transaction, where `_UNDO 1` would
be one step too many. A rollback with no transaction is refused the way the
headless engine refuses it, because an unmarked Back is that prompt.
Measured with the real ComBackend in a scratch Documents.Add() document on
the running AutoCAD 2026 (closed with Close(False)): begin 31 ms ->
entity_create_line + circle -> rollback 63 ms -> 3 entities back to 1,
CMDACTIVE 0, no prompt; an empty begin/rollback leaves the older line;
begin/commit unchanged.
Tests: the two failure modes on run_spec (anyio scope cancellation with a
raising rollback completes the task group and logs; a ValueError with a
raising rollback still raises the rollback error with the ValueError as
context), the real-transport case (client.cancel mid-run, rollback raises,

The 2b9791f fix mirrored only the characters the first review happened to
measure ('=' and ';'), so `custom={'AAA': 'first', 'A:B': 'x', 'ZZZ': 'never'}`
still raised from AddCustomInfo('A:B') on the live engine after subject and
AAA were applied -- the same half-write for 11 other keys. Re-measured on
AutoCAD 2026 by sweeping every character 0x20-0x7E through a scratch
document: exactly thirteen printable characters are 'Invalid key' anywhere
in a key (" * , / : ; < = > ? \ ` |); control characters, internal spaces,
a no-break space and unicode are accepted; leading/trailing whitespace
(space, tab, NBSP) is refused. `_CUSTOM_KEY_FORBIDDEN` is now that set,
the internal-NBSP refusal (wrong: measured accepted) is gone, and the
validator / tool docstrings state the measured rule instead of a closed
enumeration that was false.
A delete (`{key: None}`) is exempt from the AddCustomInfo syntax rules:
RemoveCustomByKey never validates syntax (measured: 'Key not found', never
'Invalid key'), and 2b9791f ran the check before the None branch, so a key
an ezdxf script wrote ('A=B', ' PAD ') showed in drawing_properties_get and
could never be removed. The line-break rule still applies both ways.
Also measured: custom keys are case-insensitive in AutoCAD (AddCustomInfo
over an existing case-variant is 'Duplicate key'; SetCustomByKey and
RemoveCustomByKey match either spelling and keep the stored one). The COM
routing was case-sensitive, so `{'PROJECT': ...}` over 'Project' went to
AddCustomInfo and failed mid-write -- the same class. Both engines now
match existing keys casefolded (update in place under the stored spelling,
never a second tag), and a request naming two case-variants is refused.
Tests: parametrized validator sweep over all thirteen characters, the
accepted set (control chars, NBSP, unicode, the other printables), the
delete exemption headlessly on a DXF carrying such keys and on the fake
SummaryInfo, case-variant refusal, and case-insensitive routing against a
fake that raises 'Duplicate key' / 'Key not found' like AutoCAD. Confirmed
live through the real ComBackend on a scratch document (Close(False)).

Three review findings against SECTION 19 on the live engine, each measured
on AutoCAD 2026 in a scratch document with the operator's BACKGROUNDPLOT=2:
- plot_style_list read Preferences.Files.PrintStyleSheetPath; the ActiveX
member is PrinterStyleSheetPath, so the AttributeError was swallowed and
every row came back installed=None. Renamed in the backend, the server
docstring and the test fake (which faked the same wrong name). Live: 13
rows, all 9 catalogue ctb files installed, four .stb files as installed.
- ComBackend.drawing_export_pdf returned ok before any file existed under
background plotting, so batch_plot died on path.stat() with an unhandled
FileNotFoundError and a later foreground plot raised E_FAIL. The export
now sets BACKGROUNDPLOT=0 around PlotToFile (restored after), honours the
method's bool and reports ok only with the file on disk (bytes included).
batch_plot turns a backend RuntimeError or a phantom ok into a per-row
ok:false, keeping the rows already plotted.
- With a sheet current, the Model row was that sheet plotted again: the COM
export switched tabs only when a layout was named. layout=None now makes
Model current (restoring the tab), and batch_plot names every layout,
Model included, so both engines plot the tab the row is labelled with.
Live: Model row /Title (Model) at 210x297 beside the A3 sheet, the active
tab and BACKGROUNDPLOT restored.

Measured on AutoCAD 2026: under a UCS at (100,50) rotated 90 deg, a pick on a
circle at WCS (105,70) came back from IAcadUtility.GetEntity as (20,-5,0),
while Utility.GetPoint already answered in WCS. A model doing ucs_set ->
user_select -> entity_create_* at `picked` would place geometry at a silently
wrong position. The point goes through Utility.TranslateCoordinates(acUCS,
acWorld) packed as a VT_ARRAY|VT_R8 VARIANT (the plain tuple GetEntity hands
back is refused as "Invalid argument Point"). The fake Utility now models the
UCS frame and the VARIANT requirement; a new test pins the measured figures
and checks GetPoint stays untranslated. Docstrings state WCS.

Three header-only-write / half-write classes in drawing_properties_set:
1. Measured: ezdxf emits $CUSTOMPROPERTYTAG / $CUSTOMPROPERTY only after
$LASTSAVEDBY, which does not exist before R2004, so on an R12 (AC1009) or
R2000 (AC1015) document the write reported ok, drawing_properties_get
echoed it from memory, and drawing_save_as (version kept) wrote nothing --
the class f3ff703 removed for CANNOSCALE. The headless engine now refuses
with a ValueError naming the DXF version and "save as R2004 or newer",
before custom_vars is touched; the dwgprops capability reason no longer
claims custom_properties_supported unconditionally.
2. A line break in a custom key or value passed validation, ezdxf wrote it
unescaped, and the saved DXF failed to reopen (DXFStructureError) -- the
whole drawing lost, reported as success. Refused by name in the shared
validator.
3. Measured on AutoCAD 2026: AddCustomInfo rejects keys with leading/trailing
whitespace and keys containing '=', ';' or a no-break space as 'Invalid
key' -- mid-write, after the summary and earlier keys were applied, as an
unnamed COM error -- while the headless engine wrote them. The shared
validator now mirrors those rules, so both engines refuse before writing
(internal spaces, tabs, unicode and 300-char keys stay accepted, as
AutoCAD accepts them).
Pinned by save+reopen tests on R12/R2000 (refused, file reads back empty),
R2004 (round-trips), the newline case (refused, the file still opens), and
the fake-SummaryInfo COM test (no ActiveX call reaches SummaryInfo).

user_pick_point / user_select answer {cancelled: true} on ESC (DISP_E_EXCEPTION)
and {timed_out: true} past COM_CALL_TIMEOUT; preferences_set refuses read-only,
unknown and out-of-range keys before any ActiveX call.
The read-only key is Files.PrinterStyleSheetPath, not the spec's
PrintStyleSheetPath: IAcadPreferencesFiles has no member of that name
(measured live on AutoCAD 2026 / R25.1), and a misspelt key would make
preferences_get() raise on every live call.

Four review findings, all measured by the reviewer on AutoCAD 2026:
1. ucs_list and the ucs_restore('world') CMDACTIVE guard read
app.GetVariable, but GetVariable is an AcadDocument member — the tool
was dead live and the guard's swallowed read forced cmd_active to 0,
sending `_.UCS _W` into any open prompt. Both read the document now,
and a failed CMDACTIVE read refuses instead of proceeding. The fake
app in tests/test_views_ucs.py has no GetVariable any more, so the
old code cannot pass.
2. view_named_save defaulted from doc.ActiveViewport.Center/Height/Width,
which does not track the display (it answered the initial view after
`_.ZOOM _C 5,6 20`). The current view is VIEWCTR / VIEWSIZE at the
SCREENSIZE aspect — what `-VIEW _S` records (width 40.267 for height
20). The fake viewport is deliberately stale so a read of it fails.
3. view_named_restore wrote Center/Height/Width into the AcadViewport;
AutoCAD anchors the lower-left corner and widens to the display
aspect, landing a 10x20 view at (5, 6) on VIEWCTR (20.134, 6). It now
zooms the saved rectangle (app.ZoomWindow), which centres and fits
like `-VIEW _R` (VIEWCTR = saved centre, VIEWSIZE = max(h, w/aspect)),
reports `applied: "zoom_window"` and reads VIEWCTR / VIEWSIZE back.
Headless the same reconciliation moved the centre whenever the
*Active VPORT's aspect was rewritten from w/h (even the 1.34 default
opened at x = 11.734): the aspect the file carries is left alone —
it is the display's, written by AutoCAD at save — and the window is
fitted into it; the payload adds `vport_height` / `aspect_ratio`.
4. layer_state_restore set ActiveLayer before the loop and outside the
try; AutoCAD refuses to make a frozen layer current, so the spec's
own save → freeze → restore path raised an opaque COM error with
nothing applied. When `frozen` is being restored the state's current
layer is thawed first; the write is wrapped and a refusal lands in
`warnings`. The fake document and layer now model both refusals.
Live AutoCAD was not running in this round (GetActiveObject failed, no
acad process), so the fix is measured against the reviewer's numbers,
not re-measured.

_num let NaN/inf (and a 400-digit int, as OverflowError) through, so an
INSERT was placed at [nan, 0] and the refusal, when it came, named the
line instead of equipment[0].x. run_spec caught Exception only, so a
CancelledError mid-run left the placed symbols inside an open transaction
(an open undo mark on COM). Finite check in _num; except BaseException.

base_x/base_y were only float()-cast, so a NaN base point was written into
the BLOCK record; a primitive on a layer the drawing lacks was written as a
dangling reference doc.audit() never flags (and on COM would fail mid-loop
after Blocks.Add). validate_base_point names the key; the layer table is
probed before the first write and the missing names are refused, or created
and reported as layers_created when create_layers=true (new optional kwarg,
contract + both engines + tool).

block_insert and block_set_attributes applied str() to whatever arrived, so
a JSON null became the text None and a non-mapping failed after the INSERT
was written. validate_attribute_values (backends/block_specs.py) runs first

written as plain digits, everything else is a TypeError naming the tag.

Headless text_find_replace matched and wrote only dxf.text of an ATTRIB/ATTDEF, so on a multi-line attribute it reported replaced: 1 while block_get_attributes and block_explode still carried the old embedded MTEXT (and a needle on the second line was never found). The ATTRIB/ATTDEF branch now reads through _attrib_value and writes through _write_attrib_value, the same pair block_get_attributes / block_set_attributes use.
COM block_explode swallowed a failing GetAttributes() (attrs = ()), GetConstantAttributes() and Invisible, then exploded, deleted every ATTDEF placeholder and the reference and returned ok: True with no attribute text -- every value destroyed silently on a transient RPC_E_CALL_REJECTED. Those reads now happen before Explode() and propagate with nothing written; a failure after the explode deletes the members it added and the TEXTs written so far and leaves the reference in place (_undo_explode), so the drawing is never left half-burst under an exception. The fakes gain the members a live AcadBlockReference / AcadAttributeDefinition always expose (GetConstantAttributes, Constant, Invisible) instead of relying on the swallow.

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.

An unnamed UCS (UCS Origin / 3P without saving, the common kind) has an
empty UCSNAME exactly like WCS does, so both engines answered
`current: world` while the drawing was not in WCS — verified live on
AutoCAD 2026 (`_.UCS _O 10,10,0` → UCSNAME="" WORLDUCS=0) and on the DXF
it writes ($UCSNAME='' $UCSORG=(0,20,0)). A silent wrong value.
- COM: a named match still wins; otherwise WORLDUCS (AutoCAD's own answer)
decides, and WORLDUCS=0 appends a `name: None` row built from
UCSORG/UCSXDIR/UCSYDIR.
- ezdxf: the same rule against $UCSORG/$UCSXDIR/$UCSYDIR via the new
`engineering.environment.ucs.is_world_axes`; a stale $UCSNAME falls back
to the frame instead of leaving no row current.
- Server `ucs_list` result: `current` is null for an unnamed UCS (never
`world`), plus `current_unnamed: bool` so null is unambiguous.
- Tests: helper, headless (unnamed row, stale name, and the exact AutoCAD
DXF over the wire), and COM fake reading WORLDUCS + the frame variables.

Two review findings on the headless engine, both content lost with ok: True.
Multi-line attribute writer: `block_set_attributes` set only `attrib.dxf.text`,
so after an edit `block_get_attributes` reported the new value while
`block_explode` (`_burst_attrib`) burst the embedded MTEXT at its pre-edit
content -- and on the default R2010 document, where ezdxf exports no embedded
MTEXT, a save/reload carried the new value the exploded drawing never showed.
`_write_attrib_value` now rebuilds the embedded MTEXT from its own virtual
entity with the new content (`virtual_mtext_entity()` + `set_mtext(...,
graphic_properties=False)`, the round trip ezdxf's `BaseAttrib.transform`
uses), keeping placement, style and height; `_attrib_value` reports the
embedded MTEXT's full `Line1\PLine2` content for a multi-line attribute, as
AutoCAD's `TextString` does, so get / set / explode / COM agree.
Opaque members: `block_explode` iterated `virtual_entities()` without a
`skipped_entity_callback`, so ezdxf dropped every member it cannot copy
(OLE2FRAME) or transform (VIEWPORT) with a debug log, an ACAD_PROXY_ENTITY
without proxy graphics contributed nothing, and the reference was then deleted.
`_explodable_members` materializes the list before any write and refuses by
member with the typed capability `explode_opaque_members` (declared on both
engines: headless False with the reason, COM native), naming the block and
the live way out. The block_explode docstrings (backend and tool) now state
this refusal instead of claiming the xref/MINSERT gate covered everything.
Tests: eight new headless cases in tests/test_track_a_hardening.py -- the
multi-line reader, the rewrite (value on every surface, placement unchanged,
clean audit), a `\P` value and the empty value, an R2010 save/reload, the
single-line path unchanged, the opaque-member refusal (nothing written,
reference alive, members named), an ordinary block still exploding under a
uniform scale, and the capability declared on both engines.

A multi-line ATTRIB keeps its content in an embedded MTEXT; dxf.text is only
the first line (ezdxf) or "Line1\PLine2" (AutoCAD), so the TEXT the explode
emitted silently dropped lines or rendered literal \P with a clean audit.
ezdxf: `_burst_attrib` adds `virtual_mtext_entity()` (graphic properties and
WCS placement already carried; the reference matrix applied for a constant
ATTDEF) and marks it invisible like the ATTRIB. COM: `_capture_attrib` reads
`MTextAttribute` / `MTextAttributeContent` / `MTextBoundaryWidth` and
`_add_mtext_from_capture` goes through `AddMText` (height, style, frame,
then Rotation, then the attachment mapped from the ATTRIB's Alignment).
Two INSERT kinds `virtual_entities()` cannot explode were destroyed with
ok: True: an xref (no virtual entities, reference deleted) and a MINSERT
(only the first cell resolved, the rest of the grid gone). Both are now
refused by name before any write, on both engines (`block_record.is_xref`
/ `mcount > 1` headless; `Blocks.Item(Name).IsXRef` / `AcDbMInsertBlock`
live, the latter previously failing the INSERT check with the misleading
"not a block reference").
Tests: nine new cases in tests/test_track_a_hardening.py (headless multi-line
ATTRIB and constant ATTDEF, xref and MINSERT refusals, a single-cell grid
that still explodes; COM multi-line capture, frame-before-angle, and both
named refusals). The fake ActiveX surface gains AddMText and IsXRef.

Measured: an R12 (AC1009) document has no OBJECTS section, so ezdxf exports
neither AcDbVariableDictionary/DICTIONARYVAR nor the seeded SCALE objects, and
drawing_save_as keeps AC1009. `_set_annotation_scale` reported `ok: True,
changed 1:1 -> 1:50` and the file reloaded as 1:1 -- the header-only write
that vanishes on reload, the class this task exists to remove, and a breach
of the backend's own R12 honesty convention (viewport_set_scale / lock).
The write is now refused with a ValueError naming R12 and "save as R2000 or
newer", after parse_scale (a malformed value is still named as such) and
before either dictionary is touched, so a refused call leaves the root
dictionary as it found it and drawing_settings still applies the sibling keys
(limits / grid / ortho survive R12). The refusal is listed with the others in
the contract and server docstrings. Pinned by two tests that save, reopen and
read the R12 file back.

COM: ``text.Normal`` was a plain Python tuple, which ActiveX marshals as
VT_ARRAY|VT_VARIANT and refuses with E_INVALIDARG (verified live on
AutoCAD 2026); because the write came after Explode(), the ATTDEF deletes
and AddText, the tool raised and left the drawing torn. It now goes
through ``_apoint`` like every other point write, and the fake ActiveX
surface refuses a bare tuple on Normal/InsertionPoint/TextAlignmentPoint
so a test cannot pin the wrong call shape again.
COM: every AcDbAttributeDefinition Explode() returned was deleted, but
GetAttributes() excludes constant attributes, so a constant attribute's
only visible text was destroyed with ok: True. A constant ATTDEF from the
explode (Constant member, or its tag in GetConstantAttributes()) is now
captured like an ATTRIB and replaced by a TEXT; placeholders are still
just deleted.
ezdxf: an AutoCAD-authored reference carries no ATTRIB for a constant
attribute and virtual_entities() skips ATTDEF, so the same text vanished
headlessly. A constant ATTDEF whose tag has no attached ATTRIB becomes a
TEXT transformed by the reference matrix, the path add_auto_attribs takes,
and is not converted twice when block_insert did attach one.

An ezdxf-authored drawing has no ACAD_SCALELIST entries, and
`_ensure_scale_entry` appended only the requested scale. AutoCAD repopulates
its default list only when the dictionary is *empty*, so the saved file
opened with a one-entry scale list and `SetVariable("CANNOSCALE", "1:1")`
failed with `Error setting system variable` -- the annotation scale could
no longer be changed in AutoCAD, while the tool reported `ok: True` and the
test pinned the degraded state (`len(keys) == 1`).
An empty list is now seeded with AutoCAD's own default metric list before
the requested scale is considered: the 17 entries a fresh AutoCAD 2026
drawing carries (`Documents.Add()` saved as DXF, MEASUREMENT 1), in that
order and under AutoCAD's own keys A0 ... A9, B0 ... B6. New entries take
the next key in that sequence (`_scale_list_key`) instead of being keyed by
their name; presence is still decided by group 300, so a non-empty
AutoCAD-authored list is never re-seeded or duplicated. Verified live: the
headless file now opens in AutoCAD 2026 with the 17 keys, CANNOSCALE 1:50
current, and switching to 1:1 and 1:100 works.
Tests: the fresh-drawing test asserts the seeded names and keys, that
setting 1:50 appends nothing (it is a default), that 1:25 lands under B7
once, and that the list survives save + reopen with 1:1 present; a new test
pins that *reading* the annotation scale creates nothing (the read side
stays pure, AutoCAD fills an empty list itself); the AutoCAD-keyed list test
now expects the A3 key. The `drawing_settings` docstring says what each
engine does and that AutoCAD refuses the live write on a paper-space layout
with no active viewport (measured).

Two silent wrong-place defects in the BURST path. An ATTRIB is an OCS
entity, so the TEXT that replaces it now carries extrusion/thickness with
insert/align_point; a mirrored reference (ATTRIB reflected to (0,0,-1),
INSERT +Z with yscale=-1) put the tag 50 units across the mirror axis with
a clean audit. Members and TEXTs now go into the INSERT's owner layout
(ezdxf get_layout, COM ObjectIdToObject(OwnerID)) instead of the current
space: a sheet title block exploded while Model was current duplicated
geometry into model space and then died on delete_entity headless, and on
COM landed the tag text in model space with ok: True. A reference nested
in a block definition is refused before any write on both engines.
Five regression tests (mirrored INSERT, sheet-owned INSERT with Model
current, nested INSERT, and the COM owner-block / nested-refusal call
shapes) fail on the previous commit and pass here.

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.
