The title bar's ×, File ▸ Quit, the OS closing the window (Alt+F4, Cmd+Q, the window manager:
close_requested is cancelled until the designs are answered) and app.quit / ui.window close all
go through documents::request_quit, which asks Save / Don't Save / Cancel once per design with
unsaved changes. Save saves (Save As for a never-saved design) and quits only if it saved; Don't
Save discards (no recovery copy is kept); Cancel or Esc stays open. Closing a tab asks the same
question (now titled "Save changes to <name>?"); New and Open never replace an unsaved design
(they open a tab). The web app asks through beforeunload while a design is unsaved. Control:
ui.documents {action: quit, answer: save|dont_save|cancel}, app.quit {force}. Tests: quit with
Save then Don't Save across two tabs, Cancel, a Save that saves nothing, Save As; scenario
s43_quit_asks_to_save.
Fixes #33

# Control protocol
|
|
|
|
`solvecraft --control PORT` (or `SOLVECRAFT_CONTROL_PORT=PORT`) listens on `127.0.0.1:PORT` for
|
|
JSON lines. Each request is one line `{"id": …, "method": "…", "params": {…}}`; each reply is one
|
|
line `{"id": …, "ok": true, "result": …}` or `{"id": …, "ok": false, "error": "…"}`. Requests are
|
|
handled on the UI thread between frames; pointer and keyboard input is injected as real egui
|
|
events, one pointer event per frame.
|
|
|
|
## Engine
|
|
|
|
| Method | Params | Result |
|
|
|---|---|---|
|
|
| `engine.execute` | `command`: command id, `params`: JSON object | the command's result |
|
|
| `engine.script` | `commands`: `[{command, params}, …]` | results, stops at the first error |
|
|
| `engine.commands` | — | every command: id, label, tab, panel, icon, shortcut, params doc, enabled |
|
|
| `document.inspect` | `measure?`: bool | parameters, timeline (errors, timings), bodies, sketches, selection |
|
|
|
|
Commands never open dialogs when run this way. `solvecraft-cli commands` prints the same registry.
|
|
|
|
## UI
|
|
|
|
| Method | Params | Notes |
|
|
|---|---|---|
|
|
| `ui.inspect` | — | UI state, viewport rect, camera, active tool/dialog, hover, renderer, timings, live preview (`active`, `busy`, `error`, `ms`, bodies it stands in for) |
|
|
| `ui.set` | any `UiState` field (`tab`, `perspective`, `showGrid`, `hiddenBodies`, `dark`, …) | `dark: false` switches to the light theme |
|
|
| `ui.view` | `view`: `front`, `back`, `top`, `bottom`, `left`, `right`, `iso`, `home`, `fit`; `animate` (bool, default false: snap) | |
|
|
| `ui.start` | `command` | like a toolbar click: starts the sketch tool or dialog for the command |
|
|
| `ui.click` | `x`, `y` (screen points), `button?`: left/right/middle, `shift?`, `ctrl?`, `double?` | real pointer input |
|
|
| `ui.move` | `x`, `y` | |
|
|
| `ui.drag` | `x0`, `y0`, `x1`, `y1`, `button?`, `shift?`, `ctrl?`, `steps?`, `hold?`, `hold_end?` | press, move, release; a left drag on the model is a box selection (left to right: window, right to left: crossing); `hold` keeps the button down that many frames first (a right press-and-hold opens the marking menu, releasing over a direction picks it), `hold_end` that many frames at the end (a sketch drag shows its snap) |
|
|
| `ui.menu` | `x?`, `y?`, `target?`, `close?` | with a point: open a context menu there as a right-click would (the viewport's marking menu, or a browser menu with `target: {"type": "body", "name"} \| {"type": "sketch", "id"} \| {"type": "component", "id"}`); without: the open menu (`radial` and `items`: id, label, shortcut, enabled) |
|
|
| `ui.menuPick` | `item`: id or label | runs an item of the open menu, as clicking it does |
|
|
| `ui.rename` | `text?`, `commit?` (default true) | finishes the rename box a Rename item opened |
|
|
| `ui.selection` | | the selection, the open dialog's inputs, the hovered item, and the active sketch's drawn dimensions (`dimensions`: id and text centre, `dimension_selected`, `dimension_editing`) |
|
|
| `ui.worldToScreen` | `points`: `[[x, y, z]…]` world points | their screen points |
|
|
| `ui.triad` | | screen points of the 3D sketch move triad's handles (`x`, `y`, `z`, `plane`) |
|
|
| `ui.sketchToScreen` | `points`: `[[x, y]…]` in active-sketch coordinates | their screen points (null when behind the camera) |
|
|
| `ui.dialogInput` | `index` | what clicking an input's Select chip does: picks go to that input |
|
|
| `ui.at` | `world: [x,y,z]` \| `sketch: [x,y]` \| `plane: "XY"` \| `axis: "Z"` \| `dimension: "d1"` (its value text) \| `handle: "arrow"` (a manipulator handle, see `scenario::publish_handle`) | the screen point (a scenario step's target; see `crates/ui-egui/src/scenario.rs`) |
|
|
| `ui.handles` | `prefix?` | the handles drawn last frame, `[{name, x, y}]`: toolbar buttons and drop-down items `toolbar:<command id>`, panel labels `panel:<tab>:<panel>`, browser rows `row:<label>` and fold arrows `fold:<label>`, manipulator handles |
|
|
| `ui.editFeature` | `feature` (id or name) | what double-clicking a timeline item does: rolls back to it and opens its dialog filled in (sketches open in sketch mode) |
|
|
| `ui.scroll` | `x`, `y`, `delta?` | wheel zoom at the cursor |
|
|
| `ui.key` | `key` (egui key name, `Enter`, `Escape`…), `cmd?`, `shift?` | |
|
|
| `ui.text` | `text` | typed text |
|
|
| `ui.screenshot` | `path?` | PNG of the window (needs a presented frame) |
|
|
| `ui.render` | `path`, `width?`, `height?` | CPU render of the model with the current camera (no window needed) |
|
|
| `ui.confirm` | `accept?`: bool | answers the Delete confirmation (shown when a delete takes other features with it or makes some fail); without `accept`, what it lists |
|
|
| `ui.documents` | `action?`: `new`, `switch`, `close`, `quit`; `index?`; `force?` (close without asking); `answer?`: `save`, `dont_save`, `cancel` (answers "save changes?") | the open designs (tabs): names, unsaved flags, the active one, a pending "save changes?" prompt, whether a quit is asking |
|
|
| `ui.home` | `open?`: bool; `sample?`: index | the start page: show or hide it, open a built-in sample (once built); returns `open` and the recent designs |
|
|
| `ui.shortcut` | `command`, `key?`, `replace?` | a command's key, or rebinds it (`""` clears; a key another command uses is refused unless `replace`) |
|
|
| `ui.help` | `item?`: `about`, `shortcuts` (read only), `report` (copies diagnostics) | the version, commit, build date and diagnostic text |
|
|
| `ui.prefs` | any of `default_units`, `nav` (`fusion`, `solidworks`, `inventor`), `zoom_reverse`, `orbit_cursor`, `msaa`, `length_decimals`, `angle_decimals` | sets preferences (kept between runs), returns them all |
|
|
| `ui.capture` | `action?`: `capture`, `revert`, `cancel` | answers the Capture Position question (asked when a command starts or the design is saved while components were moved without capturing); without `action`, what waits |
|
|
| `ui.window` | `action`: minimize, maximize, restore, toggle, close | what the title bar's caption buttons do (on Windows and Linux the application bar is the title bar); close asks about unsaved designs first |
|
|
| `ui.resize` | `width`, `height` | |
|
|
| `app.quit` | `force?` (quit without asking about unsaved designs) | `quitting` (the window closes), `asking` (a "save changes?" prompt is open) |
|

## MCP
|
|
|
|
`solvecraft-cli mcp --connect 127.0.0.1:PORT` bridges an MCP client (an AI agent) to this
|
|
channel; see [mcp.md](mcp.md).
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
|
|
```text
|

|
|
{"id":3,"method":"engine.execute","params":{"command":"solid.extrude","params":{"distance":20}}}
|
