Every 3-D solid OCS makes or opens now goes through cadkernel, which holds
analytic surfaces — a cylinder is a cylinder record, not a spline that looks
like one. That is what lets a solid built here be written back out as exact
ACIS instead of a triangulation, and a facetted export is a one-way door: the
next application to open the file would have no way back to the circle.
The Model tab's seven primitives, the Design-group booleans, 3DROTATE,
3DMIRROR, 3DALIGN, SLICE, SECTION, POLYSOLID and PYRAMID all come from the
kernel now, and `scene.solid_models` holds a `Body`. A mirrored solid needed
its own care before; the kernel reverses the loops on the way through, so it
comes back the right way out rather than lighting black.
EXTRUDE and REVOLVE sweep the profile `entities::curve` already defines, so a
circle, an arc-bulged polyline and a closed spline arrive as the same thing.
A circle extrudes into four cylinder patches rather than a run of chords, and
a profile turned about an axis becomes a cone, a sphere or a torus. A spline
profile has no analytic side wall and is refused rather than approximated.
ACIS goes both ways through the codec's own bridge: `lift` to read and
`append` to write. That drops the 679-line truck conversion and the planar-
only exporter, and the tessellator keeps its bespoke sampler as a fallback for
whatever the kernel cannot yet express — reported rather than passed off as
whole, since a mesh missing a wall looks finished.
truck-shapeops is no longer used and is gone from the manifest. truck-modeling
stays for now: fourteen files use it as a 3-D NURBS evaluator, which the
kernel has no answer for yet, and SWEEP and LOFT have no kernel operation
behind them either.
The two `automation` test failures are unchanged from before this and are not
caused by it.

OCS models 3-D solids with truck, but extrude/boolean results carried no ACIS
body, so other CAD apps dropped them on open. Add an exact planar exporter and
run it at save time.
- scene::convert::acis_export::planar_solid_to_sat walks a truck Solid whose
faces are all planes bounded by straight edges into a vertex/face-ring mesh
and builds an exact ACIS body via acadrust's build_planar_body. Curved
faces/edges return None (left for the NURBS path). A signed-volume check
flips the winding if the shell comes out inside-out.
- OpenCADStudio::sync_truck_solids_to_acis fills in ACIS geometry for every
cached truck solid that still has none, just before a Save / Save-As, so the
written DWG/DXF carries real modeler geometry.
- Bump acadrust to 9142a50 (build_planar_body + classic-ACIS AcDs roundtrip fix).
Booleans (already cached as truck solids) now export exact geometry. Extruded
polygons will too once the EXTRUDE command caches its truck solid (a separate
change kept out of this commit because command_driver.rs holds unrelated
in-progress edits).
