# ocs_doc_api — Architecture
This document explains how `ocs_doc_api` is put together and, most importantly,
the **workflow for adding a new entity, family, or method**. It assumes you've
read `README.md` (the user-facing surface).
## Layered design
```
┌─ Facade (facade.rs) DocApi → Document → collections → typed handles
│ Object-centric, hand-written. Methods build Operation/Query and call
│ Transport::apply. OpGroup (client compensation), query_batch, assert_revision.
│
├─ Wire (envelope/ops/query) DocApiEnvelope = Op(single) | Queries(batch)
│ bincode + serde. Operation/Query enums are HAND-MAINTAINED (src/gen,
│ append-only) → stable discriminants; the spec's op/query names must map to
│ them (asserted by spec_wire_consistency tests).
│
├─ Transport (transport/) trait Transport: Send+Sync { apply, alive }
│ InProcess (host) | OcsPluginApiIpc (plugin). The ONLY plugin↔host boundary.
│ Portability contract: &self + internal serialization + correlation + timeout.
│
├─ Executor (executor.rs) apply_op / apply_queries ← crate-owned logic
│ Per-op atomicity: validate+compute BEFORE push_undo; mutate; finalize_op once.
│
├─ Backend (backend.rs) trait DocApiBackend ← thin host hook
│ resolve_body / store_solid / update_solid / add_curve / transform_entity /
│ bounds / volume / centroid / revision / push_undo / finalize_op /
│ ensure_transformable / can_remove / ...
│
└─ Host (src/app/doc_api.rs) impl DocApiBackend for HostSession
Maps to scene/app primitives: register_solid_model, restore_solid_models
(lift-on-miss), solid_to_sat, edge_wires, erase_entities, meshes.metrics.
```
The same `executor` runs in-process and over IPC — one implementation, versioned
in the crate. The host only supplies scene primitives through `DocApiBackend`.
## Flow: from the single source of truth to a committed change
The **single source of truth** for the API surface is `spec/entities.toml` —
every entity family, its construction ops, geometric actions, and queries, and
their kernel/acadrust mapping. Everything downstream derives from it. The full
flow from spec to a committed document change:

**How to read it:**
- **Blue (source of truth)** — `spec/entities.toml` + `layouts.json`. Change
*these* to change the API surface; everything else regenerates or maps onto them.
- **Green (codegen)** — `build.rs` derives the wire enums, the human reference,
and the binding handover schema. The `Operation`/`Query` enums are the canonical
append-only wire vocabulary; the spec's `op`/`query` names must map to them
(enforced by `spec_wire_consistency` tests).
- **Facade → wire → transport** — a plugin's `solid.intersect(&other)` becomes an
`Operation`, wrapped in a `DocApiEnvelope`, and shipped via the one `Transport`
(in-process or IPC). Identical request either way.
- **Amber (hot paths)** — the executor's per-op invariant and the host's tab
authorization + per-tab `Scene` state (solid cache, geometry epoch, the
persistent cold-tessellation budget). This is where atomicity and the DoS
boundaries live.
- **Response** — the host produces a `Receipt` (outcome + query results + new
geometry revision) that the facade turns back into a typed result (`Solid`,
`Aabb`, `f64`, …).
## Per-op execution model (the load-bearing invariant)
Every write op follows this exact sequence (see `executor::apply_op`):
1. **Validate + compute** — resolve inputs, run kernel geometry (`make_solid`,
`brep::combine`, `brep::transform`), pre-flight fallible host work
(`prepare_solid_model_display`), check `ensure_transformable` / `can_remove`.
*No mutation yet.*
2. **`push_undo(label)`** — begin the host's undo delta capture.
3. **Mutate** — `store_solid` / `update_solid` / `add_curve` / `transform_entity` /
`remove_entity`.
4. **`finalize_op()`** — close the undo delta + republish the document view.
On any error in steps 1–3, the op returns before `finalize_op`: **nothing is
applied, no undo step, no revision bump.** This is the per-op atomicity
guarantee. `brep::combine` is pure; `erase_sources` only runs on success.
The geometry revision advances via the host's internal `bump_geometry` inside
`add_entity`/`update_entity`/`register_prepared_solid_model`. The epoch moves
monotonically per op (one undo step per op); the exact bump count is a host
internal — do not assert on it.
## Object identity and the solid cache
- **`ObjectId`** = `acadrust::Handle` (u64). Kernel keys never cross the API.
- **Solids** live in the host's `scene.solid_models: HashMap`
cache. `resolve_body` does **lift-on-miss** (`restore_solid_models`): if a
solid isn't cached, its body is re-lifted from the entity's ACIS SAT. This is
what makes DocApi-created solids visible to host-native booleans and vice
versa, and what makes a reloaded DWG's solids usable.
- `store_solid` / `update_solid` pre-flight the mesh (`prepare_solid_model_display`)
**before** committing, so the post-commit `register_prepared_solid_model`
cannot fail — there is no rollback path that would bump the revision on failure.
## Bulk ops and read batching
- `CreateMany` / `TransformMany` / `DeleteMany` are **single ops**, one undo
step, one publish — but **all-or-nothing via upfront validation**: every
fallible check (make_solid, `ensure_transformable`, `can_remove`) runs before
`push_undo`, so the apply loop cannot fail part-way. Item-capped
(`BULK_ITEM_CAP`) to bound host execution.
- Read-only query batching (`query_batch`) shares one round-trip and never bumps
the revision. Also capped.
- Why: per-op `publish_document_view` is a full-document serialization, so N
sequential ops cost O(N²) — bulk ops collapse that to O(N) once. See
"Performance" below.
## Codegen (build-time, spec-driven)
`build.rs` reads `spec/entities.toml` and regenerates the committed snapshots:
- `src/gen/ops_gen.rs`, `src/gen/query_gen.rs` — the `Operation`/`Query` enums
(the canonical wire vocabulary; **append new variants at the END only**).
- `src/gen/api_reference.md` — human API reference.
- `src/gen/binding_schema.json` — the merged binding-handover schema (object
model + method signatures + op/query mapping + wire layouts), exposed as
`binding_schema_json()` for REPL/scripting bridges.
`cargo build` regenerates them deterministically; CI fails on drift.
---
## Workflow: adding a new entity, family, or method
This is the common task. Follow these steps in order.
### A. Add a new `Operation` or `Query` variant (the wire vocabulary)
1. **Append** the variant to `src/gen/ops_gen.rs` / `src/gen/query_gen.rs`
**at the END** of the enum (never reorder — bincode discriminants are
order-based). Use existing payload DTOs or add new plain-data mirrors in
`src/ops.rs` / `src/query.rs`.
2. Add its name to `Operation::op_name` / `Query::query_name` in `src/ops.rs` /
`src/query.rs`.
3. Regenerate: `cargo build -p ocs_doc_api` — the spec/schema pick up the wire
change. Update `src/gen/layouts.json` so `binding_schema.json` stays
self-contained.
### B. Add a family (e.g. a new entity kind)
1. **Spec** — add a `[[family]]` block in `spec/entities.toml` (name,
`acadrust_variant`, `handle`, `collection`, and its `[[family.method]]`s).
2. **Handle type** — add a `handle!(NewType)` line in `facade.rs` (gives it
`bounds`/`delete`/`transform` + `id()`), plus `HasId`. Add family-specific
methods as an `impl NewType` block if it has geometric actions.
3. **Construction** — add a `create_*` method on the right collection
(`SolidCollection`/`CurveCollection`/`EntityCollection`) building the op.
4. **Backend conversion** — extend `src/app/doc_api_convert.rs`
(`curve_spec_to_entity`, `entity_kind_name`, `entity_bounds`) to map the new
acadrust `EntityType` variant.
5. **Executor** — if the family has a new op variant, add its arm to
`executor::apply_op`.
### C. Add a method to an existing family
1. **Wire** — if it's a new operation/query, do step A first. If it reuses an
existing op (e.g. another boolean), skip to step 3.
2. **Spec** — add a `[[family.method]]` entry under the family (name, kind,
op/query, args, returns, `fixed` fields).
3. **Facade** — add the method to the handle's `impl` block in `facade.rs`;
it should build the `Operation`/`Query` and call `session.apply_op` /
`session.one_query`, returning the typed result.
4. **Executor + backend** — if the op is new, implement its arm in
`executor::apply_op` (driving `DocApiBackend`), and add/override the backend
method in the host (`src/app/doc_api.rs`) mapping to the scene primitive.
5. **Test** — add a mock-backend unit test (`tests/mock_backend.rs`) and, for
host-affecting ops, a `HostSession` integration test in `src/app/doc_api.rs`
(model it on the existing roundtrip tests).
### D. Keep the invariants
- Validate + compute **before** `push_undo`; never mutate in the validate phase.
- One undo step per op; `finalize_op` only on success.
- New op/query variants **append at the end** of the generated enums.
- Host geometry stays in the host (kernel keys never cross the wire); the wire
carries `ObjectId`s and plain-data DTOs.
---
## Error model
`ApiError::{Validation, Geometry, UnknownId, Unsupported, Transport}` —
serializable, so IPC returns the same structured error the in-process executor
produced. Bulk-op validation names the failing index. A stale handle's methods
return `UnknownId` (structured), never a panic.
## Performance notes
- **Per-op publish** (`finalize_op` → `publish_document_view`) is a
full-document serialization; N sequential ops cost O(N²). This is the
documented trade of per-op autocommit and the reason bulk ops exist.
Measured estimate: ~10⁵ sequential creates+transforms ≈ minutes; the same as
one `CreateMany`+`TransformMany` ≈ ~1 s. Use bulk ops for N ≳ a few hundred.
- **`volume`/`centroid`** are **accuracy-first**: a fine tessellation
(`mesh_body(0.1, 1e-4)`) for near-analytic results, memoized per
(handle, geometry_epoch) on the per-tab `Scene`. The cold-tessellation budget
(256/tab) bounds the DoS surface and **persists across DocApi dispatches**;
when exhausted the path degrades to the approximate `meshes.metrics` value
rather than failing.
- **`resolve_body` lift-on-miss** is cheap when the cache is warm (no-op). The
read-only `with_body` accessor borrows the cache in place (O(1)) instead of
deep-cloning the B-rep — `bounds()` uses it.
- **IPC** serializes the envelope once; the `bytes` fields use `serde_bytes` so
the outer frame is a single length-prefixed copy.
- **Tab authorization**: `execute_doc_api` rejects a request whose `tab_id`
doesn't match the bound tab, so a plugin can't reach tabs it isn't bound to.

## Changes from the original design (review-driven)
The initial implementation was reviewed (`/review`) and refined in two rounds.
This section records the concrete changes and *why* they were made, so the
reasoning isn't lost. Tests are green after every change (592 host lib + 8 crate
unit + 7 `HostSession` integration tests, incl. the regression tests added for
the CRITICAL fixes).
### Files introduced / modified in `src/app/`
The host-side integration lives in `src/app/`. Concretely:
**New files**
- **`src/app/doc_api.rs`** — the `DocApiBackend` implementation for `HostSession`
(the thin host hook). Contains:
- `execute_doc_api(host, tab_id, bytes)` — the dispatch entry: deserialize the
`DocApiEnvelope`, run the crate executor, serialize `ApiResult`.
- `impl DocApiBackend for HostSession` — `resolve_body` (lift-on-miss via
`restore_solid_models`), `store_solid`/`update_solid` (pre-flight
`prepare_solid_model_display` before commit → `register_prepared_solid_model`),
`add_curve`, `remove_entity` (direct `erase_entities` + locked-layer error),
`can_remove`, `ensure_transformable`, `transform_entity`, `bounds`
(lift-on-miss for solids), `volume`/`centroid` (`meshes.metrics` cache +
divergence fallback), `revision`, `push_undo`/`finalize_op`.
- helpers `obj_to_handle`/`handle_to_obj`, `kernel_placement`,
`mesh_volume_centroid` (single divergence-theorem helper).
- 7 `#[cfg(test)]` integration tests (create/boolean/query roundtrip, unknown-id
error, transform-many all-or-nothing, query-batch cap, 2D-entity roundtrip,
geometric-methods roundtrip, **DWG write→reload roundtrip**).
- **`src/app/doc_api_convert.rs`** — acadrust `EntityType` ↔ DTO conversions:
`curve_spec_to_entity` (Line/Circle/LwPolyline/Point from `Curve2Spec`),
`entity_kind_name`, `entity_bounds` (per-family coarse bounds for non-solids).
**Modified files**
- **`src/app/mod.rs`** — registers the two new modules (`doc_api`,
`doc_api_convert`), both gated `#[cfg(not(target_arch = "wasm32"))]`.
- **`src/app/plugin_host.rs`** — extends `HostSession`:
- a `doc_api_pending: Option` field (the in-flight per-op undo delta);
- accessors used by the backend: `scene()`/`scene_mut()`,
`commit_entity_handle(entity)` passthrough, `begin_doc_api_undo(label)`
(→ `app.begin_undo`), `commit_doc_api_undo()` (→ `app.commit_undo_delta` +
`publish_document_view`; **no** extra `bump_geometry` — the entity op already
bumped);
- `impl HostApi for HostSession::doc_api_dispatch` → routes to
`doc_api::execute_doc_api` (gated `not(wasm32)`).
**`ocs_plugin_api` (sibling crate, also touched)**
- `src/ipc/protocol.rs` — appended `PluginRequest::DocApiRequest{tab_id, bytes}`
and `PluginResponse::DocApiResponse{bytes}` (append-only; `serde_bytes` on the
payload).
- `src/host.rs` — appended defaulted `HostApi::doc_api_dispatch` (returns
"not supported"; `HostSession` overrides it). Append-only, object-safe.
- `src/ipc/server.rs` — routes `DocApiRequest` → `host.doc_api_dispatch(...)`.
### Review round 1 — correctness & safety fixes
Two CRITICAL and six WARNING findings were fixed:
1. **Bulk ops are now truly all-or-nothing** (was CRITICAL). The original
`TransformMany`/`DeleteMany`/`CreateMany` only existence-checked ids; a
mid-apply failure (e.g. `store_solid` register failure, or `transform_entity`
hitting a non-solid) left partial state with no undo step. Now the executor
pre-validates *everything fallible* before `push_undo`:
- `TransformMany` → new backend method `ensure_transformable(id)` (v1:
solids-only) validated for **every** id first.
- `DeleteMany` → `can_remove(id)` (existence + not-on-locked-layer) for every id.
- `CreateMany` → its prepare loop was already pure; the residual `store_solid`
post-commit failure is eliminated by the pre-flight in (8).
- Regression test: `doc_api_transform_many_with_non_solid_fails_all_or_nothing`.
2. **Query batch is capped** (was CRITICAL / DoS). `apply_queries` had no bound —
a ≤64 MiB envelope could carry millions of `GetVolume`/`GetCentroid` queries,
each tessellating a solid on the synchronous UI thread. Now capped at
`BULK_ITEM_CAP` like the write bulk ops. Regression test:
`doc_api_query_batch_over_cap_is_rejected`.
3. **Locked-layer erase no longer silently succeeds** (was WARNING).
`HostSession::remove_entity` returns `false` for locked-layer entities; the
executor treated `Ok(false)` as success (`Delete` reported `Deleted`, boolean
`erase_sources` left the second input live). Now:
- backend `remove_entity` returns `Err(Unsupported)` when the entity is on a
locked layer;
- the boolean-erase path validates `can_remove(b)` **before** `update_solid(a)`;
- `Delete`/`DeleteMany` pre-validate `can_remove` before `push_undo`.
4. **One publish per op for deletes** (was WARNING). The backend's `remove_entity`
went through `HostSession::remove_entity`, which calls `publish_document_view`
per invocation → `DeleteMany` triggered N+1 full-document publishes. The backend
now calls `scene.erase_entities` directly (clears `solid_models`/meshes/hatches
+ records the undo delta); the single publish happens at `finalize_op`.
5. **`bounds` lift-on-miss for solids** (was WARNING). `bounds` checked
`solid_models.contains_key` and fell through to a non-solid `Unsupported` for a
solid with a cold cache (e.g. dropped by a host-side `update_entity`). Now it
resolves solids through `resolve_body` (lift-on-miss), consistent with
`volume`/`centroid`.
6. **`volume`/`centroid` accuracy + budget** (was WARNING / perf). They
re-tessellated the full body (`mesh_body`) + cloned the B-rep per query. Now
they compute via a **fine tessellation** (`mesh_body(0.1, 1e-4)`) for
near-analytic accuracy, memoized per (handle, geometry_epoch); the cold-tess
budget lives on the per-tab `Scene` (persists across dispatches) and degrades
to the `meshes.metrics` value when exhausted. The duplicated divergence loops
were merged into one `mesh_volume_centroid` (single source of truth, shared
by the host + both mock backends).
7. **Double revision bump documented** (was WARNING). Solid write ops bump
`geometry_epoch` twice (the entity add/update path + `register_prepared_solid_model`).
This is host-internal and shared with native commands; the meaningful guarantee
(one undo step per op, monotonic epoch) holds and is tested. Documented rather
than changed, to avoid touching shared host scene bump behavior.
8. **`store_solid` failure no longer moves the revision** (was WARNING). The
original rollback path (`rollback_new_entities` on `register_solid_model`
failure) bumped the epoch *again* on a failed op, violating "failed op = no
bump." Now `store_solid`/`update_solid` **pre-flight** `prepare_solid_model_display`
**before** `commit_entity_handle`, so a mesh-prep failure errors before any
mutation — the rollback path is eliminated (and the double `prepare` work is
removed). This also feeds the `CreateMany` all-or-nothing guarantee in (1).
### Review round 2 — cleanups (SUGGESTION)
- **`serde_bytes` on the IPC payload** — `PluginRequest::DocApiRequest.bytes` /
`PluginResponse::DocApiResponse.bytes` now use `#[serde(with = "serde_bytes")]`
so the outer frame is a single length-prefixed copy (was a per-byte seq walk +
a second full copy on 10–20 MB bulk payloads).
- **Dead code removed** — `src/gen/dispatch_gen.rs` (never generated/included),
`Operation::references` (no call sites, false doc comment), the discarded
serde-reflection tracer stub + `serde-reflection` build-dep in `build.rs`
(it reads `layouts.json` directly now), and the dead `Session.tab` field
(transport carries `tab_id`; `DocApi::document(tab)` keeps the arg for
forward-compat but no longer stores it).
### Subsequent additions
- **Rename** `ocs_doc_api_2` → `ocs_doc_api` (directory, package, lib, all refs).
The plan document under `.kilo/` keeps the historical name.
- **DWG roundtrip robustness** — the stable-DWG test writes to
`target/doc_api_roundtrip_intersected.dwg` (kept for inspection). It releases a
stale lock first and falls back to a process-unique path if still locked, so it
never flakes on Windows file locking (error 33).
- **Docs** — `README.md`, this file, `IMPLEMENTATION.md`, enriched
`spec/entities.toml` + the generated `api_reference.md` (constructors, generic
methods, cross-cutting, bulk ops, `unsupported` markers).
- **Examples** — five runnable examples under `examples/` (e1 primitives+queries,
e2 booleans, e3 transform-chain, e4 2D+bulk, e5 failure+guards) over a shared
in-process mock backend (`examples/common/mod.rs`).
- **Tests** — 7 `HostSession` integration tests in `src/app/doc_api.rs`, incl.
roundtrips for 2D entities, geometric methods, and a **DWG write→reload**
roundtrip proving an intersected solid survives with valid ACIS and re-lifts to
the expected volume.
### Review round 3 — branch review fixes (tab auth, geometry, budget, caps)
A full branch review (all six tracks) found 3 CRITICAL + 5 WARNING + suggestions,
all fixed with regression tests:
1. **Tab authorization (confused deputy)** — `execute_doc_api` ignored `tab_id`,
so any plugin could reach any open tab. Now rejects `tab_id != host.tab_id()`
before dispatch (`doc_api_tab_mismatch_is_rejected`).
2. **Negative-bulge arc center mirrored** — `bulge_arc_segment` used signed
`tan(half)` AND a sign flip, double-counting so CW arcs got the center on the
wrong side. Now apothem magnitude + sign-picks-side (CW below / CCW above).
3. **Cold-tess budget ineffective** — the 256-tessellation budget lived on
`HostSession` (rebuilt per dispatch → reset every request). Moved `mass_cache`/
`cold_tess_used` to the per-tab `Scene` so budget + memoization persist; when
exhausted it degrades to the approximate `meshes.metrics` value (no hard-fail).
4. **Loft uncapped** — added `BULK_ITEM_CAP` (was the only uncapped multi-item op
→ unbounded kernel call from one request). Regression test.
5. **CreateMany not all-or-nothing** — Curve specs are pre-validated (ellipse ratio)
in the prepare phase before `push_undo`. Regression test.
6. **Partial-ellipse rotation** — `start`/`end_parameter` now offset by `rot_z`
(the Arc arm already did). Regression test.
7. **`resolve_body` deep-clone** — added `with_body` borrow accessor; the host
borrows the cache in place (O(1)) and `bounds()` uses it (no per-query B-rep copy).
8. **`add_raster_image` unvalidated path** — now validates non-empty + image
extension and rejects UNC/network + parent-traversal paths. Regression test.
9. **Deploy capability gate** — `API_VERSION` 5→6 so DocApi plugins are rejected
at handshake by old hosts (clean refusal, not a runtime decode error); append-only
wire + defaulted `doc_api_dispatch` keep older V2–V5 plugins loading unchanged.
10. **Dead code** — `query_name` wired into `apply_queries` error labels; the host
uses the crate's `ObjectId::from_handle`/`to_handle` (dropped local duplicates);
deleted `is_null`/`backend_mut`; test mock now stores curve specs + computes
curve bounds (aligned with the example mock); Spline/Dimension bounds delegate
to `points_aabb`.
### Known deviations (documented, not bugs)
- **Two `geometry_epoch` bumps per solid write op** (see #7 above) — host-internal,
shared with native commands; monotonic and one-undo-step-per-op are guaranteed.
- **`volume`/`centroid`** are fine-mesh-approximate (`mesh_body(0.1, 1e-4)`), not
exact analytic values; the render-mesh `meshes.metrics` is the coarse display LOD.
- **`Angular2Ln` constructor** exists; `Radius`/`Diameter`/`Angular3Pt`/`Linear`
are the supported dimension sub-types.
