Groups U and N were built side by side, so the takeoffs carried narrow
stand-ins for what group U reads properly. On main they read through U:
- describe.drawing_units is the one call every reader makes (kept records,
labelled room faces as evidence); describe, scale_check and the takeoffs
all use it. Without the room faces, a layout that declares inches over
millimetres can tie three ways and fall to the header.
- layout_tags takes its plan copies from describe.prepare, room_regions its
rooms from describe.find_rooms, and pipe_rows its scale from scale_check,
per-room groups included. scale_stand_in and the takeoff's own unit bands
and cluster grid are gone.
- test_understand_one_reading pins the agreement: one unit, one plan copy,
one verdict and one set of rooms per drawing, across drawing_understand,
drawing_scale_check and the two takeoffs.
