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.

flatten_bulges chops a semicircle into an even number of chords (36 for
r=50, 12 for r=5), so a flattened vertex lands exactly on the apex — the
axis of symmetry, the one place a P&ID line most plausibly meets a
crossing jump. segments_cross treats a vertex hit as a junction, so both
neighbouring chords dropped it and the arc contributed 0: the (45,0)->(55,0)
bulge -1 jump reported crossings 0 at x=50 and 1 at x=50.3 or x=49, the
plan's own (0,0)->(100,0) semicircle 0 at x=50, and the mirrored frame
(extrusion -Z) 0 at x=-50.
count_crossings now takes bulges= (per-chain DXF bulge lists, zero-padded)
and tests every bulged edge as its exact arc through the new
segment_arc_crossings — circle/segment intersection restricted to the
sweep — with the same junction rule as the straight case: a hit within
_EPS of the segment's ends, of the arc's own two ends, or a tangent, is
not a crossing. Nothing along the sweep is a vertex any more. The arc
parametrisation is factored into _arc_of_bulge and shared with
flatten_bulges, which keeps its promised signature and its ezdxf pin but
no longer feeds the crossing count. draw_line passes the vertices and
bulges through unflattened.
Pinned in tests: the apex case on the semicircle (x=50, y 20->60), the
r=5 jump at x=50 / 50.3 / 49 on +Z and -Z frames, the junction cases
(T-touch on the arc, through the arc's endpoint, chord side, tangent
along the apex, in-and-out at y=4.9 counts 2), and 4x400 seeded random
segment/arc pairs against ezdxf's ConstructionArc.intersect_line (a
20 000-case run in the worktree found 0 mismatches). The eight new
assertions fail on the flattened rule and pass on the exact one.
Headless finding, headless evidence; no new ActiveX call was written, so
the shared live AutoCAD was not touched.

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).

A foreign or hand-edited ACADMCP_PID payload (from: 'garbage', seq: True)
made the next pid_line_draw raise TypeError; payload_port_refs /
payload_seq now accept only well-formed values and a reader result never
raises. An existing polyline with a bulge was tested as its chord, so a
line through the arc reported crossings 0; flatten_bulges (pure, pinned
against ezdxf.math's flattening) feeds count_crossings on both engines.

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;

pid_graph step 5 ran the TEXT label fallback for every edge without a
number. Once signal lines stopped carrying a fabricated number (3c0babf),
every pneumatic/electric run drawn by pid_line_draw entered it, and a
transmitter-to-controller run 12 mm above a labelled header came back as
line_number="100-P-1", number_source="label" — on both engines, with no
confidence field on edges to flag it.
The fallback now skips an edge that carries its own record (an
ACADMCP_PID payload: its `number: null` is the answer) and any
signal-class edge, payload or layer-classified (`signal_unknown`
included): LINE_NUMBER_RE is the pipe grammar, so a match near a signal
line always belongs to a neighbouring pipe. A foreign process line still
takes its label; a verbatim number on a signal line still reads back
from XDATA.
Tests: the finding's layout in test_pid_graph (engine-drawn signal beside
a labelled pipe, verbatim signal number, foreign electric and
signal_unknown lines beside a labelled foreign pipe) and the line_list
row in test_pid_deliverables — three of the four fail on the old reader.

_com_dimensions_using walked every entity of every layout and, since the
un-narrowing fix, re-dispatched each one through a dynamic proxy before
reading ObjectName (~8-10 ms per entity), which put dimstyle_modify past
the 60 s COM_CALL_TIMEOUT on a ~6k-entity drawing after its SetVariable +
CopyFrom had already landed. It is now a single
SelectionSet.Select(acSelectionSetAll, (0 . "DIMENSION") (3 . <style>)),
which answers from AutoCAD's own index whatever the drawing size.
Measured live (AutoCAD 2026, scratch doc, 1000 LINEs + 14 dimensions across
model and paper space): walk 12.7-15.8 s, selection 0.02-0.09 s, identical
handle sets; the whole dimstyle_modify tool now returns in 0.07 s.
The group-3 filter value is a wcmatch pattern, so the style name is
backtick-escaped (_wcmatch_literal): unescaped, "A.B" also selected the
dimensions of "A_B", "N#1" those of "N21", "P[1]" those of "P1", "S@X"
those of "SAX" (measured). Handles are returned in ascending handle order,
Select failures propagate, and the selection set is deleted either way.
tests/test_styles.py: the fake document carries a SelectionSets that
emulates ssget "X" over every layout with wcmatch-literal semantics and
narrowed IAcadEntity items, refusing an unescaped wildcard; three tests
cover no-per-entity-read, escaping, and cleanup-on-failure.

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)
had its two _task_pid_roundtrip assertion lines moved to the new truth —
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.

EzdxfBackend.drawing_export_pdf routed layout=None / layout="Model" through
_msp(), which follows the current tab, so with a sheet current the "Model"
PDF was that sheet's paper-space content with no refusal — the same defect
finding 3 named on COM, still live on the headless engine. Measured: circle
in model space, 390x270 rectangle on an A3 sheet, sheet current — the Model
row's /MediaBox was 176.1x121.9 mm (the rectangle) instead of 121.9x121.9
(the circle). The model target is now doc.modelspace() whichever tab is
current, on both entry points.
The test that vouched for this only asserted the row's shape (paper is None,
true by construction). It is replaced by two tests that prove content: the
Model row's mediabox with a sheet current equals the one with Model current
and carries the circle's square aspect, and drawing_export_pdf(path) with no
layout does the same. Both fail without the backend change. plot.py's
docstring now says which engine does what.

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 next request is answered, cleanup through the real rollback), the COM
shape now pins `_.UNDO _M, StartUndoMark, EndUndoMark, _.UNDO _B`, and
test_com_sprint3 grows a Mark-keeping fake document whose unmarked Back
fails the way the prompt does: begin before the group, rollback consumes the
Mark, rollback without a transaction sends nothing, begin refuses on
CMDACTIVE.

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

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.

acax25enu.tlb declares IAcadDictionaries.Item, IAcadDictionary.Item and
IAcadDictionary.AddObject as returning IAcadObject*. With a makepy cache for
the AutoCAD type library present (it is, on any machine where gencache ever
ran against AutoCAD), pywin32 wraps each result in the gen_py class of the
declared type, which exposes only IAcadObject members: .Count/.Item/.GetName
on the dictionary and .ArrowSize/.LandingGap/.TextHeight/.TextStyle on a
style all raised AttributeError, so the previous round's removal of the
@capability refusal turned a typed UnsupportedCapabilityError into a raw
AttributeError on AutoCAD 2026.
`_com_unnarrow` re-dispatches an object on its raw IDispatch through
win32com.client.dynamic.Dispatch (no gencache side effect, unlike CastTo),
and the dictionary route applies it to the dictionary, to every Item(i) and
to the AddObject result. Verified live on AutoCAD 2026 (scratch document,
closed afterwards): list reads Standard = 0.18/0.09/0.18/Standard, create
writes ISO-LDR = 2.5/1.0/2.5/ISOCP, the duplicate is refused, and an
independent late-bound read of the dictionary agrees.
The fake in tests/test_styles.py now models the narrowing: Dictionaries.Item,
Dictionary.Item and Dictionary.AddObject hand back a wrapper that answers only
IAcadObject members and raises on everything else (reads and writes alike)
until unwrapped through _oleobj_. Five COM tests fail against the previous
backend and pass now; a new test pins the missing-dictionary path
(Dictionaries.Add before AddObject).

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.

The MCP SDK cancels a request by cancelling an anyio scope, and anyio
cancellation is level-triggered: task.cancel() is re-issued on every loop
iteration while the task is inside the cancelled scope. run_spec's
`except BaseException: await backend.transaction_rollback()` was therefore
cancelled at its first await, before the rollback body ran. Measured through
the real transport (fastmcp.Client + notifications/cancelled): five symbols
left in an open transaction on ezdxf; on the COM shape EndUndoMark / _UNDO B
never sent while the backend's `finally` already cleared _transaction_active,
so the next transaction_begin nested a StartUndoMark. A native Task.cancel()
(what the plan's Step-4 note reasoned about) is delivered once and clears,
which is why raising CancelledError from a mock passed trivially.
The rollback now runs inside anyio.CancelScope(shield=True). The COM hard
timeout (asyncio.wait_for inside ComBackend._run) still fires inside the
shield, measured at 0.62 s with a 0.5 s deadline, so a hung rollback cannot
freeze the server.
Tests: the mock-raise test is replaced by real cancellations that fail on the
unshielded code — a cancelled anyio task-group scope (parametrized alongside
the native Task.cancel() case), the real transport via Client.cancel(request
id) polled mid-run, and the COM shape (real ComBackend._run, a real
single-thread executor and the real transaction_rollback over a recording
ActiveX document, with a call in flight when the scope is cancelled) which
asserts StartUndoMark, EndUndoMark, _UNDO B land and the next begin is fresh.

`_paper_frame` computed `paper_per_unit = mm_per_unit * unit` where `unit`
is millimetres per paper unit, so an extents+fit plot on an inch sheet
reported `effective_scale: "607.06:1"` for a fit that is `1:1.06276` (off
by 25.4 squared). The render was right (`units_per_mm` is unit-free); only
the label was wrong, and it flowed into `drawing_export_pdf(layout=...)`.
The mm sheet could not see it because there `unit` is 1.
`test_extents_plot_fits_the_printable_area_and_centres` is parametrized
over ISO A3 (mm, width-bound) and ANSI B (inches, height-bound); the ink
position is derived from the centred frame so both cases check the same
invariant. The inch case fails without the fix.

Two review findings, both root causes.
1. `_sync_header_to_dimstyle` copied the DIMSTYLE entry's ezdxf-internal
arrowhead spelling (OBLIQUE) into the DXF-facing $DIMBLK/$DIMBLK1/$DIMBLK2
header, so the saved file named a block it did not hold (the blocks are
_OBLIQUE / _DOT) and `system_get_variable("DIMBLK")` answered "OBLIQUE"
headlessly against "_OBLIQUE" on COM and in the same engine's own
`dimstyle_list` row. The header write now goes through
`reported_arrowhead` — the same read-side rule `_dimstyle_value` applies.
Pinned by header, `system_get_variable`, save/reopen (`ezdxf.readfile`
header equals the block the file holds) and the Restore-to-Standard
empty-string case in `test_builtin_arrowheads_render_save_and_report_one_spelling`.
2. The `mleaderstyle` capability refusal rested on a false engine boundary.
acax25enu.tlb (AutoCAD 2026) exposes IAcadMLeaderStyle with Name,
ArrowSize, LandingGap, TextHeight, TextStyle, ... — exactly what
`Dictionaries.Item("ACAD_MLEADERSTYLE").Item(i)` returns — and
IAcadDictionary.AddObject(keyword, "AcDbMLeaderStyle") creates one.
COM `mleaderstyle_list` now reads the four values off those objects
(`values_available: True`); COM `mleaderstyle_create` validates every value
(`validate_mleaderstyle`, shared with ezdxf), checks the clash and the text
style before AddObject, then writes the four properties. The contract
method is `@abstractmethod` again, the key is gone from both capability
maps, the fake ActiveX surface models the real call shape, and the spec
(§4.2, §8.1, §9) states the ActiveX route.
Live AutoCAD was not running on this machine (GetActiveObject: operation
unavailable; no acad.exe), so the COM route is type-library-verified and
fake-tested, not executed live — scripts/smoke_settings_com.py (Task 24)
owns that.

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

CancelledError mid-run left the placed symbols inside an open transaction
(an open undo mark on COM). Finite check in _num; except BaseException.

ezdxf keeps a multi-line ATTRIB's two placement surfaces (the ATTRIB's own
insert/align_point and the embedded MTEXT's insert) in step through
transform() but not translate(): Insert.translate moves only the ATTRIB's
points (1.4.4 attrib.py has no translate). entity_move / entity_copy /
entity_array_rectangular therefore left the embedded MTEXT behind, so
block_explode burst the note 50 units from its symbol (audit clean), and
block_set_attributes / text_find_replace -- which rebuild the MTEXT and let
set_mtext re-place the ATTRIB from it -- teleported the attribute back to
the old spot while the INSERT stayed put (a regression of e7dafb8/b753a12,
which before wrote only dxf.text).
- _anchored_mtext(attrib): the virtual MTEXT re-anchored to the ATTRIB's
own placement (get_placement() through its OCS, the inverse of ezdxf's
_update_location_from_mtext). _burst_attrib and _write_attrib_value read
through it, so a drawing whose surfaces already disagree bursts and
writes at the ATTRIB's placement instead of the stale MTEXT's.
- _translate(ent, ...): translate + settle every multi-line ATTRIB's MTEXT
onto the ATTRIB (the set_mtext round trip ezdxf's own transform uses),
keeping the whole value in group 1. Used by move, copy, rectangular array.
- _transform(ent, m): transform + restore group 1 of every multi-line
ATTRIB -- BaseAttrib.transform goes through set_mtext, which mirrors only
the first line, so rotate/scale/mirror/polar array/change_space turned
'A\PB' into 'A' on the one surface an R2010 save keeps.
- block_insert of a multi-line ATTDEF: add_auto_attribs embeds through
embed_mtext with the same first-line mirror; the whole value goes into
group 1 the way _write_attrib_value keeps it.
Tests: move/copy/rectangular array carry the MTEXT (explode lands on the
symbol), set_attributes and find_replace after a move leave the attribute
where the move put it, a rotated reference moves both surfaces by the same
delta, a stale drawing bursts/writes at the ATTRIB placement, rotate/scale/
mirror/polar and a fresh insert keep the whole value across an R2010
round trip, and a single-line reference is unchanged. 13 fail before the
fix, all pass after; full suite 2511 passed.

`_file_identity` keyed on normcase(abspath), which folds case and separators
only, and only on Windows. Two names for one file — a hard link (which
Path.resolve() cannot fold either), an NTFS junction reached in-process, or
a case variant on macOS's case-insensitive APFS where normcase is the
identity — registered two entries: both rows said `saved: True`, a save from
either overwrote the other's bytes, and closing the 'clean' one dropped its
work as `discarded_changes: False`.
Identity now asks the disk: `os.stat` (st_dev, st_ino) when the path exists
(the samefile identity), `normcase(abspath)` only for a path not on disk yet
(a save target, or an owner whose file was removed) or a filesystem that
reports no inode. `_register_document`, `_path_holder`,
`_resolve_document_key`, the `_doc_path` setter and the quarantine's
same-path warning all go through the one helper. An untitled entry holds no
file and never matches a path.
Tests: the `_case_folding_fs` guard probes the temp filesystem instead of
`os.path.normcase`, so the case-variant tests run on macOS where they used
to skip while the bug was live. New: hard link (backend and over the wire),
junction (mklink /J; a directory symlink elsewhere), a case variant with
normcase given its POSIX definition, and the spelling fallback for a save
target that is not on disk. Four of the five fail on the previous backend.

DXF and ActiveX layer tables are case-insensitive, but block_define collected
the primitives' layers with a case-sensitive set. A request naming 'Alpha' and
'ALPHA' with create_layers=True made ezdxf add the first, then raise
DXFTableEntryError on the second after the write — layer left behind, no block,
surfaced as an internal error instead of a named refusal. COM ran Layers.Add
twice, got the existing layer back the second time, and reported two layers
created for one that appeared; the two engines diverged and the refusal message
without create_layers named the same layer twice.
referenced_layers() in backends/block_specs.py keys the set on the folded name
and keeps the first spelling; both engines consume it. _FakeLayers in the
hardening tests now matches Item/Add case-insensitively and returns the existing
record on a duplicate Add, as the ActiveX table does, so the COM path is pinned.

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).

a JSON null became the text None and a non-mapping failed after the INSERT

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

document_close's promise (never drop unsaved work unless told to) and the
`saved` row of document_list are only as good as _DocState.dirty, and three
headless mutators never set it: a new layout tab, the $TILEMODE / active
layout write, and a paper-space VIEWPORT all changed the file yet closed
without refusal, reported discarded_changes: False, and were absent on disk.
COM refused the same sequence (Saved is AutoCAD's DBMOD), so the two engines
disagreed. Each now calls _mark_dirty() after its write, which also pushes
the undo snapshot every other mutator already has.
The regression test runs the save -> mutate -> list/close/undo/redo -> close
with save sequence for all three and checks the change reached the file.

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.

`drawing_apply_iso_layers` recorded its standard in `_active_layer_set` on
the backend, and `_role_layer` reads it ahead of the PlanSpec to decide where
`dimension_auto` / `construction_xline` file their output. It was neither a
`_DocState` field nor cleared by `_reset_document_state`, so an iso13567
sheet next to a mech one pushed the mech drawing's dimensions onto
`M-DIMEN-T-N` (created on demand), silently — and `drawing_critique` could
not see it because the same stale set drove the critique. The attribute
predates the registry (v1.5 `drawing_new` did not reset it either), but the
per-document claim of Task 21 covered it and the measured attribute list
missed it.
- `_DocState.active_layer_set` + `_ActiveField("active_layer_set")` on
`EzdxfBackend`: the set follows the active entry, bidirectionally.
- `PremiumContract._reset_document_state` clears it (declared on the mixin
like `_plan_spec`), which fixes COM's `_ensure_document_state` switch and
`drawing_new` / `drawing_open` / `disconnect` on both engines.
- tests: `test_active_layer_set_is_per_document` (headless registry, the
reviewer's repro plus the reverse direction) and the COM activate test now
also asserts the set is cleared and `_role_layer('dim')` is back on DIM.

Two measured root causes on the headless engine, both silent:
1. page_setup_apply wrote PLOTSETTINGS group 147 (unit_factor) as 1.0 for
every scale. Under USE_STANDARD_SCALE AutoCAD's plot engine scales by
group 147 alone (a 1:10 sheet with code 21 and 147 = 1.0 plotted a
100-unit line at 99.99 mm while the row, `applied` and 142/143 said
1:10; patching 147 to 0.1 alone gave 9.99 mm). AutoCAD writes 147 as
numerator / denominator (measured live on AutoCAD 2026 for fit, 1:1,
1:2, 1:10, 1:50, 2:1, 10:1: 1.0, 1.0, 0.5, 0.1, 0.02, 2.0, 10.0). The
writer now stores 75, 142/143 and 147 from the one resolved ratio on
every route, so no reader can disagree with the plot.
2. DXF_STANDARD_SCALE_TYPE and _plot_scale followed ezdxf's STD_SCALES,
which has no 19 = 1:5 and numbers everything above 18 one lower than
the ObjectARX StdScaleType enum AutoCAD actually writes (1:10 = 21,
1:20 = 23, 1:50 = 26, 1:100 = 27, 2:1 = 28, 10:1 = 31 — measured via COM
SaveAs DXF). An AutoCAD-authored 1:50 sheet listed as "1:100" and a
1:10 sheet rendered at 1:16. papers.py now authors the full file enum
(DXF_STD_SCALES, codes 1-33 with AutoCAD's imperial names), the writer
uses the same codes ActiveX uses, and nothing goes through ezdxf's
table. 1:5 stays on the custom route on both engines (the live setter
refuses 19) while the reader knows code 19 for files AutoCAD wrote.
Tests: the plan's `1:50 -> 25` assertion was the stale numbering and now
pins 26; a pure-data test pins the enum against the measured codes and the
ActiveX numbering; a parametrised writer test checks 75/142/143/147 for
every catalogue scale; a reader test stores the scale exactly as AutoCAD
saves it (including codes 19 and 22 the writer never emits) and checks
page_setup_list and _paper_frame report and render it at its own scale.

Two review findings on the multi-line-attribute paths of block_explode /
block_set_attributes.
COM: `_add_mtext_from_capture` wrote `InsertionPoint` before
`AttachmentPoint`. ActiveX's `AttachmentPoint` keeps the text body where it
is and relocates the anchor, so every non-TopLeft attribute was laid out
TopLeft-at-anchor with only the label moved (live: a BottomLeft two-line
note landed two lines low, BottomRight also a box width right). The anchor
is now written last, unconditionally, after the attachment and the frame.
Verified live on AutoCAD 2026: every alignment's bbox matches the control
and the end-to-end burst MTEXT sits at the ATTRIB's TextAlignmentPoint.
The fake MTEXT now relocates `InsertionPoint` on `AttachmentPoint`/`Normal`
writes the way ActiveX does, both tests assert where the anchor ended up,
and the alignment test uses BottomRight rather than the default TopLeft
that could never show the displacement.
ezdxf: `_write_attrib_value` relied on `set_mtext`, which mirrors only the
first line into `dxf.text`; below R2018 ezdxf exports no embedded MTEXT,
so the default R2010 document saved `NEW ONE` where the reader had
promised `NEW ONE\PNEW TWO\PNEW THREE`. `dxf.text` now carries the whole
value (AutoCAD's own `TextString` convention) after the MTEXT rebuild;
the R2010 round-trip test uses a `\P` value, and an R2018 round trip
pins both surfaces.

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.

Finding 1: page_setup_list swapped size_mm for plot_rotation 1/3 but
reported the margins un-turned, so a 297 x 210 sheet carried its portrait
margins ([20, 20, 7.5, 7.5], printable 282 x 170) while ezdxf's Page and
_paper_frame plotted [7.5, 7.5, 20, 20] (257 x 195). The mapping now lives
once in papers.turned_sheet (cross-checked against Page.from_dxf_layout
for all four rotations) and is used by the ezdxf row, _paper_frame and the
COM row. page_setup_apply resets plot_rotation to 0; headlessly it now
re-writes the turned margins un-turned so the sheet keeps the margins it
had (nothing moves, changed says nothing), and on COM, where margins come
from the .pc3, the ones that moved show up in changed.
Finding 2: both engines forced plot paper units to millimetres with no
units field in the row, so an inch-authored ANSI sheet was rescaled 25.4x
with ok: True and changed naming only the media. Rows now carry
paper_units (mm | inches | pixels, DXF group 72 / AcPlotPaperUnits);
resolve_page_setup takes paper_units="mm" (default) | "inches" | None
(keep the layout's units, as AutoCAD's own Page Setup does); a move is
reported in changed and, with its 25.4x consequence and the way back, in
the new warnings list (papers.page_setup_warnings, identical on both
engines).
