Keep all solid geometry GPU-resident during navigation. Use vertex-rate instancing, compact untextured vertices, vertex-cache ordering, and cached silhouette sources without culling geometry.
Share source buffers across block placements and render nested content with GPU instance transforms.\n\nChunk silhouettes and compact mesh material data so large drawings stay under device buffer limits and remain responsive.
A paper layout painted its whole canvas in the page colour, so the sheet
had no visible edge — zooming out never reached one, because the surround
was the same colour as the page. Floating viewports then painted
themselves black over it.
Both come from the same idea, that a viewport's canvas is a colour it can
be handed. What lies behind a viewport depends on what the viewport is:
- The full-canvas sheet shows the desk. `paper_bg_color` is the page, and
the page is a bounded rectangle `paper_sheet_fill` already draws; using
it for the canvas too erased the boundary between them. The desk is now
its own colour, defined once in the scene and read by both the widget
and the renderer, so the two cannot drift apart.
- A floating viewport sits on that sheet and must paint no canvas at all.
Handing it a transparent one does not work: the background shader
returns an opaque colour whatever alpha it is given, so alpha zero came
out black. Skipping the pass is the only way to ask for see-through, so
`skip_background` now suppresses both the clear and the pass. It is part
of the frame signature too — without that, a cached frame would keep
showing the canvas the flag was just turned off for.
Shading and fog still blend toward what is behind a floating viewport,
which is the page, so the uniform keeps that colour even though nothing
paints it.

Sphere faces drew as complete balls. ACIS parametrises a sphere about
any pole, so a vessel's dished head is commonly bounded by a circle that
is no line of latitude in that frame, and a theta/phi bounding box of
such a boundary covers nearly the whole ball. Derive the window
analytically instead: when a face's loops are circles lying on the
sphere, re-pole the frame onto their common axis, where each seam is an
exact latitude at acos(d / R). One ring bounds a cap, two bound a zone;
the material side comes from the boundary winding, reusing the helper
the torus path already had.
Separately, the longitude wrap flag was resetting the colatitude window
to the whole meridian. A cap centred on the pole covers every longitude
while still ending at its seam, so that reset grew every cap back into a
ball. Trim the two angles independently and rename the flag theta_full
so the split reads at each use, including the silhouette generator,
which skipped the colatitude test the same way.
Cone faces took their height span from the first boundary loop alone. A
lateral face closed off by one rim and one pierce curve -- a pipe branch
meeting its run -- carries its two ends on different loops, so the tube
was sized to whichever came first and the leg above the junction went
undrawn. Read every loop.

Pin Iced 0.15 so dialogs can measure content before distributing the resolved frame across child panels. Keep the web plugin notice compact and non-resizable.\n\nCloses #582
Keep storage fast paths on capable adapters and use packed or texture fallbacks only when device limits require them.\n\nCompact mesh-edge varyings to avoid WebGL shader rejection.
Avoid full document, cache, and GPU rebuilds for entity deltas so add, delete, history, selection, and live polyline edits stay responsive on large drawings.
Keep resident wires, draw depths, GPU slabs, and edit history incremental across entity changes. Defer rollover work to avoid cursor jumps on dense drawings.
Replace full-document snapshots with Arc first-touch deltas and batch cache invalidation. Reuse interaction and GPU category caches across unrelated edits.
Even collected at the right place, a block-internal wipeout still let
geometry show through: the wipeout pipeline's depth bias was positive,
pushing the mask behind geometry at the same depth (a block's wipeout and
its shapes are coincident at Z=0), so LessEqual rejected it. Bias toward
the camera (constant -8, slope -1) so the mask wins against coincident
2-D geometry, small enough that genuinely nearer geometry still occludes.

The wipeout pass ran after the wire pass with no draw-order bias, so
the mask erased its own boundary frame (and everything else at its
plane regardless of draw order). The mask uniform now carries the
entity's draw-order depth (uniform grows 80 → 96 bytes) and biases its
clip-z like every other pipeline, and the frame wire rides a
+half-rank override — the later mask pass fails the depth test at the
frame's pixels, so the boundary stays visible, while entities drawn
above the wipeout are no longer erased.

Image textures were created Rgba8UnormSrgb: sampling decoded sRGB to
linear, but the surface isn't sRGB, so every raster (images, OLE, PDF
underlays) rendered visibly dark. Rgba8Unorm passes the texels through
in the same space as every other colour in the app.
The frame wire also always carried the X diagonals — that's the
broken-reference placeholder, and it scribbled over resolvable images.
The diagonals now draw only when the reference doesn't resolve.

Hatch/wipeout boundary sub-loops were separated by NaN vertices that the
fill shaders detected with `p.x == p.x`. Intel Mesa folds that NaN
self-compare to `true` under fast math, so separators read as real
vertices, the ray-cast crossing count broke, and fills bled outside
their boundary — only on Intel iGPUs. GPU uploads now rewrite the
separators to a finite 1e30 sentinel (GPU_BOUNDARY_SEP) and the shaders
test `abs(x) < 1e29`, which every driver evaluates identically. The
CPU-side NaN representation is unchanged.

Xref merge now inserts entities in the source block's chain order and
carries SortEntitiesTable objects across (remapped to merged handles).
draw_depth_map values become [depth, half] so exploded block/xref fills
and wide-polyline band wires both compose child depth as
insert_depth + in-block rank x half, recursing into nested inserts with
the same divisor - bands and fills from one block interleave by the
block's internal order instead of stacking at the insert's single depth.
Band batches split per rank via WireModel.depth_override; thin wires
stay merged. The wire arena falls back to a full rebuild when a slab
carries mixed depths so refreshes don't flatten band overrides.

The web wire pipeline (fat-instance wire.wgsl) had grown to 17 vertex
attributes as the width-band and taper fields were added; WebGL2 and
WebGPU cap vertex attributes at 16, so pipeline creation failed and
the web viewport drew no lines at all — UI and SDF text still worked,
which is why it looked like "the app stopped working" rather than a
crash (#414). Scalars now ride in packed vec4/vec2 attributes (10
locations total); the instance struct's memory layout is unchanged.

GRADIENT silently degraded to a plain hatch: add_hatch rebuilt the
render model from the DXF entity but never encoded the gradient on it,
so the committed fill lost its gradient entirely. The entity now
carries the full gradient record (name, angle, colour stops,
solid-fill flag), and the standard shape set became selectable:
Linear / Cylinder / Spherical / Hemispherical / Curved plus an Invert
toggle, offered as prompt buttons on the GRADIENT command and as a
Gradient type dropdown + Invert box in the properties panel. All nine
standard DXF names round-trip (inverted linear persists by swapping
the colour stops), and the shaders shape each kind distinctly —
mirrored cylinder, eased curve, dome-profiled hemisphere — on both the
native and web pipelines without changing the GPU struct sizes.

A wide polyline with per-vertex varying widths rendered at its widest edge
(uniform-width ones were already exact). Draw the true taper instead.
`WireModel.taper_widths` carries a per-point full band width. The wire
instance (native slim + web fat) gains per-endpoint `world_hw_a/b`, and both
wire shaders interpolate `mix(hw_a, hw_b, which_end)` so each segment's band
narrows/widens linearly — depth-tested, and the linetype dash still applies.
Alignment (widths must match the tessellated points) is solved by building
both together: a new `TruckObject::TaperedLines(points, widths)`, filled by
`common::tapered_band_points` (straight = endpoints, arc = 16 samples with the
width lerped along it). to_truck routes a varying-width polyline here —
LwPolyline before the PLINEGEN split, Polyline2D at its return — while a
uniform-width one keeps the constant-band Contour path unchanged. `world_width`
stays the widest edge as the PDF-stroke + zoom-floor fallback.
Blocks fall back to the constant-widest band (`LocalWire` carries no
taper_widths).
