Invalidate cached world-space block vertices when the base translation changes. Share the regular/mesh partition between full uploads and patches so instanced blocks are uploaded only once. Cover both paths with CPU and GPU regression checks.
Clicking to end a segment froze the UI until the whole drawing had been
re-uploaded. With block geometry cached the remaining cost is the regular
half, and on two drawings it dominates:
113 k wires regular=96ms block=13ms index=12ms total 122ms
198 k wires regular=85ms block= 7ms index=25ms total 118ms
It is rebuilt from scratch because `PersistentWireArena` -- the only
thing that patches wire buffers in place -- was disabled outright by:
&& !vp_wires.iter().any(|wire| wire.render_instance.is_some())
One block reference was enough; the reproducer has 11 363. The scene
already produces an incremental patch in 0.9 ms and the GPU side could
not use it.
Instanced wires are not something the arena has to handle: they are a
different batch type with their own pipeline. Partition them out, let the
arena own and patch the rest, and keep building `BlockWireGpu` for them.
The handle index is unaffected -- it maps into `vp_wires`, not into arena
slabs, and the patch path already maintains it.
Measured on the 198 k-wire drawing, per drawn segment:
before wire 350ms (shared-fullupload)
after wire 12ms (arena-patch)
with the whole click, including `bump_entities`, going from ~411 ms to
~20 ms.
Verified visually on drawings with and without blocks, through repeated
edits and undo/redo.

Adding one entity to a drawing rebuilt every block group's geometry from
scratch. Measured on a 1.17 M-entity drawing with 11 380 block wires, the
per-edit upload split as:
upload-split regular=80.4ms block=230.3ms
The block half is three quarters of it, and every byte of it was
identical to the previous frame: a new line is not a block reference.
`BlockWireGpu::from_wires` re-emitted each group's segments, re-expanded
them six-fold and re-uploaded the vertex buffers anyway.
That work depends only on the block definition being expanded, which
already has a stable identity: `render_instance.source_id`, minted once
when the block cache expands a definition and unchanged while that
expansion stays cached. Cache the vertex chunks and constants under
`(source_id, mesh_edge, colour)` -- colour is in the key because a
highlight tint changes the constants while leaving the vertices alone.
Only the per-instance placements are rebuilt, and they must be: each
carries its own draw depth and the depth map shifts on every add or
remove. They are also small, a few thousand placements against millions
of vertices.
Entries not seen in a build are dropped, so a block-cache rebuild that
mints fresh source ids does not strand old buffers on the GPU.
Measured: the block half falls from 230 ms to 7.4 ms, and the whole
per-edit upload from ~350 ms to ~118 ms.

With the block geometry cached, the per-edit upload is 135 ms of which
only 92 ms was accounted for by the regular and block halves. The rest is
the handle index: a `String::parse` per wire over the whole 198 k
resident set, rebuilt from scratch on every edit.
The arena has an incremental path for this (`patch_handle_index`), but
the shared path never reaches it -- the same gate that keeps the arena
away from this drawing. Short of that, the parses are independent, so run
them across cores and keep only the map insertion serial.
`par_iter().enumerate()` collects in index order, so the slot lists keep
the emission order they depend on.
Adds a `wire-handle-index` PERF line, since this was the unaccounted
third of the upload.

The previous commit converted the allocations that scale with the
drawing and deliberately left the small fixed-size ones -- uniforms, the
viewcube's static geometry, per-image and per-wipeout quads -- reasoning
that an allocation failure was not a realistic outcome for a few dozen
bytes.
That reasoning was wrong, and the log says so precisely. On the
reproducer the vertex buffers degraded exactly as intended:
[gpu] uncaptured ... Out of Memory
[gpu] uncaptured ... In Queue::write_buffer
Buffer with 'block_wire.vertices' label is invalid
... errors #4#8#16#32#64#128, session kept alive
and then the process died here:
thread 'main' panicked at wgpu_core.rs:2253:
Error in Buffer::get_mapped_range: Validation Error
Caused by: Buffer with 'block_wire.const' label is invalid
'block_wire.const' is a single uniform struct. Once the device is out of
memory every allocation fails, including a 32-byte one, and
create_buffer_init maps it and panics. Size was never the relevant
property -- whether the path maps is.
So every remaining allocation goes through gpu_upload too: block-wire
const, the viewcube's seven buffers, the blit and clip-boundary buffers,
image instances/params/vertices, mesh material params and surface and the
empty index stub, the texture-hatch uniform, and all five wipeout
buffers. `grep -r create_buffer_init src` now finds only a comment, and
no mapped_at_creation:true remains outside gpu_upload's own docs.
`queue` is threaded through the last holdouts: upload_wipeouts,
upload_clip_boundary, MeshBatchStubs::new and
create_material_bind_group_from_resources.

The crash in #358 was not the out-of-memory itself. wgpu reports OOM as
recoverable and the app already installs a handler that logs and keeps
the session alive. What killed the process was what happened next:
create_buffer_init maps the new buffer unconditionally, and mapping the
invalid buffer an OOM device returns panics. That panic unwinds through
iced's main-thread redraw, trips the wgpu-hal swapchain assertion in a
destructor, and becomes a non-unwinding abort -- no chance to autosave.
Every allocation whose size scales with the drawing now goes through
src/scene/pipeline/gpu_upload.rs, which creates the buffer unmapped and
fills it with Queue::write_buffer. A failed allocation then surfaces as a
validation error on the write, which reaches install_gpu_error_handler
and degrades the frame -- exactly what that handler's comment promised:
"A bad frame must degrade, not end the session."
Converted: block-wire vertices and instances, the wire const storage
buffer, all three wire-arena allocators, face3d vertices and instances,
block-text instances and text vertices, both hatch backends, and the
silhouette buffers. mesh_gpu already allocated this way, which is why the
mesh path never produced this panic; the rest now match it.
No mapped_at_creation:true remains in the renderer. The create_buffer_init
calls left are fixed-size or bounded-small -- uniforms, the viewcube's
static geometry, per-image and per-wipeout quads -- where an allocation
failure is not a realistic outcome.
Two trade-offs worth stating:
* write_buffer stages through a copy, which mapping at creation avoided.
Chunking bounds that transient cost, and the measured block-wire
upload got faster with chunking, not slower.
* `queue` had to be threaded through the wire, face3d, text and hatch
builders and their callers. Mechanical, but it widens the diff.
This touches every upload path, so it needs a visual check against a real
drawing before it goes upstream.

max_buffer_size is an API validation limit, not physical VRAM. NVIDIA
reports several GB of it on a 2 GB card, so sizing a chunk from it
produces buffers larger than the whole device. That is the same bug as
#203 (mesh_gpu), #358 (face3d_gpu) and the block-wire vertex buffer:
rediscovered three times because each upload path spelled the budget out
for itself.
mesh_gpu.rs was the only site that clamped the result. Move that clamp
into src/scene/pipeline/gpu_budget.rs and route every allocating path
through it, so a new upload path cannot reintroduce the mistake by
copying one of the unclamped expressions.
Five sites had no clamp at all: text_gpu (block-text instances),
wire_gpu (block-wire instances), and face3d_gpu (vertices, instances,
and upload_chunks).
Three behaviour changes worth noting:
* Silhouette chunks were capped at a private 64 MiB constant and now
use the shared 32 MiB budget.
* The storage-hatch chunk limit was the minimum of two device limits,
both of them validation figures; it is now also capped by the
budget. The `*_fits` predicates next to it are genuine "would wgpu
reject this" checks and are left alone.
* mesh_gpu's instanced path used the unclamped ceiling to decide
whether a mesh fits in a single buffer, which would still admit a
multi-GB allocation. It now uses the clamped budget, so a few more
meshes take the chunked path.
OCS_GPU_CHUNK_MIB overrides the cap. Raising it above the real VRAM is
the cheapest way to force an allocation failure and check that the
renderer degrades instead of aborting.

Refresh stale depth bounds after geometry edits, allow orbiting through camera poles, and preserve hidden-line occlusion for selected solids.\n\nFixes #957
Model space appearance now follows the active UI theme instead of a
hardcoded dark background. Canvas mode is user-selectable (Match Theme /
Classic CAD Dark / Custom RGB), with matching controls for the paper
sheet and desk surround backgrounds and grid opacity.
Implements industry-standard CAD system variables, all settable via
command name, SETVAR, and the Options dialog:
- COLORTHEME (0/1 dark/light UI scheme, preserves custom palettes)
- COLORSCHEME (interactive named-theme selection)
- BACKGROUND (THEME/CLASSIC/DEFAULT/DESK presets, RGB triplets)
- SELECTIONAREA, SELECTIONAREAOPACITY (translucent marquee fill)
- WINDOWSAREACOLOR/WINDOWAREACOLOR, CROSSINGAREACOLOR (ACI or theme)
- SELECTIONEFFECT, SELECTIONEFFECTCOLOR (GPU highlight pass, driven by
selection_generation invalidation — no retessellation)
- SELECTIONPREVIEW (bit 0 = idle rollover, bit 1 = in-command hover)
- GRIPSIZE, GRIPCOLOR, GRIPHOT, GRIPHOVER (grip overlay styling)
Keep hidden pre-drag geometry out of snap candidates and avoid empty
scene invalidations. Require stable OTRACK dwell observations and cache
planar-solid visibility during live previews.

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.

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.
