Change

SolidCraft's planar region boolean (crates/kernel/src/prism.rs, planar_regions_boolean) is used for sheet-metal cuts, flat patterns, DXF and text regions, and mesh conversion. It becomes a thin call to solidcore_ops::prism::planar_regions_boolean, solidcore's copy of the same recipe (RFC 0003, step 2.10). Ops refusals map to the same KernelError messages. The planar extrusion stays on the kernel copy for now.

Before the switch, ops is made to give the correct answer wherever the two copies disagreed. Both copies call the same solidcore kernel. Every difference came from the wrapper code, or from ops running with no UpstreamFixes: SolidCraft never names fixes on the ops session.

1. An empty result is empty. A 2D boolean that leaves a sheet with no faces now returns no regions. Before, ops read that sheet back and failed with Status(1001). (solidcore-ops/src/prism.rs combine)

2. Two flags retired, following the solidcore: retire the remaining UpstreamFixes flags, in batches #14246 method. Each fixed path is now the only path. SolidCraft's preset already ran both on, so ops now matches the kernel copy's configuration.

   • boolean2d_plane_covers_far_faces (WR-536): a 2D boolean's plane grows to cover far faces.
   • boolean_skips_faces_apart (WR-527): face pairs whose boxes lie apart are skipped (topology_intersector/p2.rs IntersectTopology, ~:1489), and inner loops outside a new planar face's outer-loop box stay in place (topology/brep/p9.rs).

   For each flag, the field, the off path, the preset line in crates/smlib, the fixes.json entry and the tests' off halves are removed.

   Scope of the WR-527 retirement. IntersectTopology is shared by the 2D boolean and every 3D boolean, so the skip now runs in every default-kernel boolean, 3D included: solidcore-ops sessions with no fixes named, the goldens and the kernel rig. SolidCraft's own kernel calls already ran with it (preset). The skip only drops face pairs whose boxes are farther apart than the intersection tolerance, which cannot meet (ARGUED; the fork's tangency-labs/smlib@60b1c6a, recorded as speed-only in its finding). Evidence that results are unchanged at this head (MEASURED): all 283 golden units run, and only surface.surface_p5's 3 WR-536 rows change (below); the kernel rig passes; and on the 4,183 planar probe calls every output segment of O with the skip is bit-identical to O without it (the 89 calls that differ at all differ only in loop start or region order, from step 4's tolerance grid).

3. A polynomial quadratic read in a plane is the conic of weight 1, as a profile writes it (a font's glyph curves). Before, it was a degree-2 Bézier, which broke the DXF export's text_is_splines_and_lines_not_chords. (prism/read.rs free_form)

4. Canonical order. sheet_regions returns regions in one order whatever order the operands came in:

   • each loop starts at its smallest start point, holes and regions are sorted by that point, the larger area first on a tie;
   • points compare by a key on the grid of the read's tolerance tol: x and y each rounded to the nearest multiple of tol ((c / tol).round()), then the exact x and y as the tie-break. Comparing the four numbers lexicographically with total_cmp is a total order, deterministic, so sort_by is sound. Coordinates that differ by rounding only (a vertical edge whose ends' x differ in the last bits) land in one cell, so y decides, not ulp noise. Round coordinates sit at cell centres; only a coordinate within the noise of a half-odd multiple of tol can still fall either way (ARGUED; documented on point_key);
   • an arc's start angle is in (-π, π]. Before, atan2 gave -π at y = -0, and the second half of a whole turn started past π. An angle already in range keeps its bits.

   This changes the region order of every planar boolean, so DXF regions, flat-pattern regions, text and every other planar_regions_boolean result come back in the canonical order instead of the kernel's face order. No consumer depends on the order (ARGUED from the code, and MEASURED by the full SolidCraft test run below): flat_regions (crates/doc/src/sheet.rs :3034) puts a junction slit in the region whose outline has the slit's vertex, and otherwise clips it against every region (:3034-3044), so the order matters only if two regions shared that vertex; the one order-dependent test (the ring-cut island, below) now picks its region by geometry.

5. The switch: crates/kernel calls ops. crates/kernel shrinks (prism.rs 20 lines added, 24 removed).

WR-305 (classify_edge_interval): nothing left to enable for this PR. #15747 (merged 2026-11-14) made WR-305's certified part the default on every kernel, ops included: a straight interval along a straight edge is classified on the edge when both its ends lie within the intersection tolerance of the edge's line, with rounding counted (curve_class/p3.rs classify_edge_interval + straight_run_on_line; the distance to a line is convex along a segment, so the ends bound it). What stays behind the flag is the fork's curved-piece midpoint sample: one point decides that a whole curved interval lies on the edge. That is a sampled acceptance (CONTRIBUTING: "No acceptance is decided by sampled checks"; definitions-and-certificates.md §7 item 6), and #15956 also holds classify_edge_interval out of its flag retirement. So this PR does not turn it on in ops, and does not retire it.

• The flange corner, rebased onto main 5a986bf with no flag in ops (MEASURED): cmd::sheet::tests::a_cut_passing_a_hair_off_a_flange_corner_builds passes, as do all 87 engine tests matching flange. solidcore: near-tangent strips in planar booleans are decided once, by certificate (WR-305, WR-614) (#15718) #15747's a_taper_near_a_flange_corner_cuts_to_the_exact_area_or_within_its_sliver runs on ops with no fixes named and passes (PROVEN there: exact area or within its sliver bound).
• wr_614_coincident_strip_crossing (12 tests) passes at this head on the default kernel (MEASURED), including wr_614_wider_protruding_box_keeps_exit_crossing, which failed when the flag was forced on before solidcore: near-tangent strips in planar booleans are decided once, by certificate (WR-305, WR-614) (#15718) #15747.
• Does any planar call still need the curved sample? On the re-probe below, no call differs between K (main's kernel copy, SolidCraft's preset, curved WR-305 on) and O (ops, no fixes) in refusal, regions, holes per region, or segment counts per loop, except the co-circular arc merges (MEASURED, region by region). So the curved midpoint sample changes no recorded sheet call.

Changes a default: no
A kernel result changes in the cases below; no UX default changes.

Test change: the ring-cut island was picked by the region order the old planar boolean happened to return; it is now picked by geometry, assertions unchanged
Test change: surface.surface_p5's three coincident-plane covers pinned upstream's failed cover (WR-536); two copies of z = 0 cover each other at distance 0
Test change: flag retirements (WR-536, WR-527) delete the tests' pinned-upstream off halves; the fixed halves now run on the default kernel
Test change: CodeRabbit fixes add new tests only (leftmost_points_straddling_zero_keep_one_order, prism::tests::a_sheet_seen_from_below_starts_its_arcs_in_range); no existing test or expectation changed

CodeRabbit fixes (778b86f), both in prism::sheet's canonical order:

• point_key: (c / tol).round() gave -0.0 for a coordinate a hair under zero, and total_cmp orders -0.0 before 0.0, so points straddling an axis fell in two cells and the -0 one started the loop whatever its other coordinate. + 0.0 makes every zero cell +0. PROVEN: leftmost_points_straddling_zero_keep_one_order (left edges at x = ±1e-15, both ways round) asserts each loop starts at its lower left corner and the lower region comes first. MEASURED: it fails without the fix (the upper region started at y = 14).
• A face seen from below (up < 0) has its loops reversed, and a reversed arc starts at start + sweep, which can lie outside (-π, π]. start_at_smallest now applies principal to every arc's start before keying (an angle in range keeps its bits). PROVEN: a_sheet_seen_from_below_starts_its_arcs_in_range reads a disc's sheet in a frame and in the frame turned over, and asserts every arc starts in (-π, π], on the disc, the loop closes, and the area is πr². MEASURED: it fails without the fix (an arc at -π).

Claim labels: PROVEN means asserted in code (a test assertion, or a closed form checked in a test). ARGUED means reasoning in prose, or premises only sampled. MEASURED means a probe or run whose numbers are given here.

Validation

Re-probe after #15747 and #16149 (on main 5a986bf; the later rebase onto 22aa00d touches none of these paths; MEASURED)

The old recording was lost, so the calls were recorded again: main's kernel copy (K) with a recording hook (scratch, not committed) under SolidCraft's tests that reach it: solidcraft-doc sheet::tests, solidcraft-engine sheet, display_mesh_tests, features_more and mesh_convert, and all of solidcraft-kernel. That's 39,858 calls, 13,518 distinct. 3 hold a non-finite input (tests of input checks) and can't be replayed from JSON, so 13,515 ran. Each ran through K and through this head's ops (O), one core (taskset), best of 3, K and O alternated (harness planar_timing as before). This recording covers more tests than the old one (4,183 distinct calls), so the counts are not one for one with the table below.

distinct calls (13,515)	O at this head vs K
O refuses, K builds	0 (was 4 at 5612a14, all the flange-corner calls)
K refuses, O builds	0
both refuse	3
same shape, lines and arcs	13,366; worst total-area difference 1.6e-8 relative, O against K (below)
same shape, free-form	125; worst 2.4e-16 relative
co-circular arcs merged in O (K splits the arc)	21, from 9 tests (free-form and elliptic cut-outs, round cut-outs); worst area difference 2.3e-14 relative

• Per region (MEASURED). O's order is canonical, so K's and O's regions are matched one to one: by the structure of each region (its outer loop's segment counts by kind, and each hole's), then by area. All 13,512 calls that both build match region for region: the same region count, the same holes in the same regions, and the same segment counts in every outer loop and every hole. For the 21 arc-merge calls, the arcs are left out of the counts. Every region's area and every hole's area agree within 1.9e-6 relative. Only two calls go past 1e-6 (below); the next worst is under 1e-6.
• What the comparison rests on. Ops runs with no UpstreamFixes flags named. K runs SolidCraft's preset, 181 flags in crates/smlib/src/core.rs (this PR retires two of them, so ops gets those by default). Parity between the copies rests on these 13,515 recorded calls, compared region by region. It does not rest on an argument flag by flag that the other flags can't reach a planar boolean (ARGUED for no flag; MEASURED on the recorded calls only).
• The largest area differences are the flange-corner calls, which O refused before solidcore: near-tangent strips in planar booleans are decided once, by certificate (WR-305, WR-614) (#15718) #15747. Against the exact polygons (rational arithmetic, Sutherland-Hodgman on the convex operands; MEASURED):
  • call 4817 (intersection, tol 1e-7): exact 965.8579644, K 965.8578477 (off by 1.17e-4), O 965.8578631 (1.01e-4);
  • call 4839 (intersection): exact 965.8577644, K off by 1.24e-4, O by 1.32e-4;
  • call 4841 (cut): exact 9061.1340471, K off by 1.24e-4, O by 1.32e-4. Here K places one vertex 2.4e-6 from every exact crossing of the operands; O's vertex lies on an exact crossing (1.5e-14).
  • By area against the exact polygon, O is closer on 4817 and farther on 4839 and 4841. Neither copy is the more accurate one on these calls. The 1.6e-8 relative in the table is O against K, not against the exact area.
  • These are the cuts whose taper passes within the intersection tolerance of the flange corner: both copies merge the corner points that the tolerance can't separate. solidcore: near-tangent strips in planar booleans are decided once, by certificate (WR-305, WR-614) (#15718) #15747's ops test asserts O within that sliver bound for this family (PROVEN there).
• Next: a_cut_out_on_one_side_of_a_bend_line_with_a_corner_a_hair_from_it_refolds (4 calls, cut, tol 1e-7). These are the two calls past 1e-6 per region, and two repeats of them at smaller differences. The cutter is a triangle of area 1. One corner, (94.99999996, -3e-8), lies 3e-8 from the plate's corner (95, 0), outside the plate (y < 0). Both copies return the plate with a triangular hole (MEASURED):
  • K keeps the cutter's corner as given. Its hole has area 1 exactly, and that hole vertex lies 3e-8 outside its region's outer loop.
  • O moves that one vertex 4.2e-8, to (94.9999999753, 9.6e-9), inside the plate. Its hole's area is 1.0000019 (1.9e-6 relative), and the other two vertices are bit-identical to K's.
  • Both moves are within the tolerance 1e-7. O's hole lies inside its region, which K's does not (ARGUED from the coordinates above). The total area differs by 7.5e-10 relative.
• Arc exactness (each output arc against the input circle it lies on): K 42,877 arcs, 3,774 bit-exact, largest deviation 4.7e-7, 2,909 starts outside (-π, π]. O 42,834 arcs, 27,131 bit-exact, largest deviation 4.3e-12, 0 starts outside (MEASURED).
• Timing (one core of server2, best of 3, indicative): total K 49.8 s, O 36.4 s; median O/K 0.79. The largest call took K 10.3 s, O 5.3 s.

The table and figures that follow are from the old head 5612a14 and the old 4,183-call recording. They are kept for the main's-ops column (main's ops refused 319 of those calls).

Counts (single-thread probe at head 5612a14, MEASURED)

The probe ran every distinct operand pair recorded from SolidCraft's engine sheet tests: 4,183 distinct calls (the recording holds 6,074 calls with repeats; every count below is over the 4,183 distinct ones, in both columns). Each call ran through the kernel copy (K, main's crates/kernel/src/prism.rs with SolidCraft's preset) and through ops: main's ops (merge base 3efdfcb, no fixes named) in the first column, this head's ops in the second. Harness: planar_timing (a scratch example under crates/kernel/examples, not committed), K and O on the same input in one process; areas by Green's theorem (lines and arcs in closed form; conics, cubics and Béziers by composite Gauss-Legendre, exact for the polynomial pieces).

distinct calls (4,183)	main's ops vs K	this head's ops vs K
O refuses, K builds	319 (227 Status(1001), of which 201 are K's empty results; 56 Status(1007); 25 edge not read in the plane; 11 Status(1006))	4 (all the WR-305 flange-corner calls, #15718)
K refuses, O builds	0	0
same shape (region, loop and segment counts by kind), lines and arcs	3,822; worst total-area difference 8e-11 relative	4,137; worst 8e-11 relative
same shape, free-form (text glyphs)	0: all 38 differ in kind (O Bézier, K conic)	38; worst area difference 2.4e-16 relative
co-circular arcs merged in O (K splits the arc)	4	4 (the same hole of holes_in_a_contour_flanges_end_panels...); area difference 2.3e-14 relative

The earlier figure of 13,959 differing calls for main's ops counted repeated calls over several recordings; it is replaced by the distinct-call column above.

Free-form curves (MEASURED). Step 3 changes how a glyph's quadratic comes back (conic of weight 1 instead of a degree-2 Bézier). On all 38 free-form calls the regions have the same shape as K's and the total area agrees to 2.4e-16 relative (main's ops: same areas to 1.1e-14, but Bézier segments where K has conics).

Arc exactness, MEASURED. Each output arc is compared with the input circle it lies on: the larger of the centre distance and the radius difference.

	arcs	bit-exact arcs	largest deviation	start outside (-π, π]
before (K)	65,498	4,791	1.21e-9	2,209
after (O, this head)	65,494	41,678	4.69e-13	0

Region order and loop start.

• PROVEN by shuffled_operands_give_the_same_regions: the operands are reversed, rotated and swapped, for each of the three operations; the result has the same regions, loops and segments in the same order (numbers within 1e-12). It fails with the canonical step removed (MEASURED).
• PROVEN by leftmost_points_a_rounding_apart_keep_one_order: two regions whose left edges' x differ by one ulp, one way round and then the other; both variants start each loop at its lower left corner and put the lower region first. It fails with the old exact comparison: the lower region started at its upper left corner (MEASURED).
• MEASURED: on the 4,183 probe calls, the tolerance grid changes the loop start or region order of 89 calls against the exact comparison, with every segment bit-identical.

Show the problem

• Disjoint squares: [0,10]² ∩ [20,30]² at tol 1e-7.

  • Before: ops returned Err(Status(1001)); K returned [].
  • After: Ok([]). PROVEN by disjoint_squares_intersect_in_nothing, which fails without the fix with Err(Status(1001)) (MEASURED).

• A no-fix case: engraving a long channel. The plate is 106.524 × 1200, less four corner notches (each a 4 mm square with an r 2 relief arc), tol 1e-7.

  • Before (ops, no fixes): Status(1007). The notches' faces lie beyond 100 widths of the first face's plane, so they were rebuilt on a plane that did not hold them.
  • After: one region of area 127825.238476018. The closed form is 106.5238934211693 · 1200 − 4(4 − π) = 127825.2384760175 (MEASURED against the closed form; K gives 127825.238476017).
  • Other examples (MEASURED): the 500-hole union of the perforated sheet went from Status(1001) to 500 regions of area 392.699081699 = 500 · π · 0.5²; a large sheet with small bends went from Status(1006) to one region, as K.

• 42 such cases fail without WR-536's fix and build with it (MEASURED, probe). For 35 of them, far_faces_of_recorded_sheet_cuts_build_and_their_areas_agree (35 recorded pairs, 45 KB gz) asserts (PROVEN) that the union, intersection and both differences build and close, and that:

  • area(A∪B) = area(A∖B) + area(B∖A) + area(A∩B) within 1e-9 relative;
  • area(A∪B) = area(A) + area(B) − area(A∩B), with area(A) and area(B) summed from the input regions, within 1e-9 of area(A) + area(B). The first identity alone cannot see dropped faces, which lose area from the union and the differences alike; this one can. All 35 pass.

  Without the fix the probe has ops refuse every one of them (MEASURED).

Regression tests (each fails without its fix)

• Step 1: solidcore-ops/tests/prism.rs disjoint_squares_intersect_in_nothing (PROVEN; fails without the fix, MEASURED).
• Step 2, WR-536: fork_67b8a1e_four_far_disks_join on the default kernel (its four-disk join failed with 1006), and far_faces_of_recorded_sheet_cuts_build_and_their_areas_agree (PROVEN).
• Step 2, WR-527: fork_edf7414_perforated_plate_work and boolean_2d_coincident_edges_work count face pairs and loops on the default kernel (PROVEN). Each asserts n face pairs for n holes, where without the skips the test's own comment records upstream's 2080 and 32896 pairs for 64 and 256 holes.
• Step 3: prism::tests::a_polynomial_quadratic_reads_back_as_the_conic_of_weight_one (PROVEN), plus SolidCraft's dxf_tests::text_is_splines_and_lines_not_chords. With the switch but without step 3, the analyst measured that test failing: 26 of 42 segments were lines or conics (MEASURED).
• Step 4: shuffled_operands_give_the_same_regions and leftmost_points_a_rounding_apart_keep_one_order (PROVEN).

Speed (counts first, MEASURED, indicative)

• Face pairs on the perforated cut. For a plate less 1000 united holes, WR-527's skips make the 2D boolean pair the plate face with each hole: n pairs, not n² (PROVEN for 64 and 256 holes by the WR-527 tests above). Without them, ops paired every face.
• Timing at this head, one P-core (taskset), best of 3 per call, K and O alternated: total over the 4,183 calls K 66.8 s, O 49.3 s; median O/K 0.84. The largest call (the perforated cut) took K 12.3 s, O 4.6 s. Indicative only: the gate ran on the machine at the same time.
• Before WR-527 was retired, ops took 268, 116 and 37 s on the three largest perforated cuts where K took 9.6, 4.1 and 2.3 s (earlier run, same harness).
• The analyst's earlier 2.3× slowdown came from lock contention in its 16-thread probe (ARGUED). Follow-up: one ops session lock per kernel call, rather than per operation step, would remove the contention for parallel sheet operations.

Gate at 5e433675f (the CodeRabbit fix on main b8ac0a8; sc-gate.sh --changed: case 4, the full gate, because the diff changes crates/doc and crates/kernel)

All 25 steps pass (MEASURED). The pushed head 778b86f is that commit rebased onto main 7e2a596. Main's changes to this PR's files there are other hunks (a new 3D plate test in fork_edf7414, a counter in kernel.rs); at 778b86f fmt, clippy -D warnings on solidcore and solidcore-ops, fork_edf7414 5/5 and solidcore-ops --test prism 21/21 pass.

• solidcore: fmt, script tests, clippy, panic sites, wasm, doctests and solids pass. nextest workspace (goldens profile): 8,217 run, 8,217 pass, 100 skipped. Kernel rig (8 jobs): pass.
• Goldens: all 283 units run, and all 283 pass against the expectations at this head. As before, only surface.surface_p5's 3 rows differ from main (blessed in the expectations commit, table below). WR-527's skip now runs in every default-kernel boolean, and this is the evidence that it moves no other golden result (MEASURED).
• SolidCraft: fmt, assets, icons, licences, lists, skills, layers, shared, ui-containers, mesh-decisions, clippy, wasm and doctests pass. nextest workspace (engine, solidcraft-cli with naming_corpus, the edit tests and the rest): 16,161 run, 16,146 pass, 15 fail, all 15 on the known-failing list. known-failing: "no regression". The flange-corner test that regressed at 5612a14 passes.

Inventory of changed expectations (from git diff origin/main over tests and goldens)

• crates/doc/src/sheet.rs ring_cut_retains_exact_central_material_island. For the maintainer to decide.

  • Old predicate: the first region whose outline holds (50, 30).
  • New predicate: the region whose outline holds (50, 30) but not (50, 37.5), a point in the ring between the radii.
  • Why: the plate's outline holds the centre too, so the old test depended on the island coming first in the order the old boolean returned. Every assertion on the island is unchanged.
  • Alternative: an order that puts the island first, such as smallest area first. It was rejected because it tailors a canonical order to one test (ARGUED).

• solidcore/crates/goldens/expected/surface.surface_p5.jsonl: 3 rows:

  case	old	new	proof
  cover_analytic_plane_vs_plane_coincident (+_tol1e-3, _merged)	out = [0, -1, 1e20] (no cover found, max distance 1e20)	[0, 0, 0] (this plane covers, max distance 0)	both surfaces are the plane z = 0, so every point of one lies on the other at distance exactly 0. The old row was upstream's cover search, which reached only 100 widths of the plane's domain (WR-536).

• Flag retirements, the off halves only. The fixed assertions are unchanged and now run on the default kernel:

  • fork_67b8a1e_four_far_disks.rs: fork_67b8a1e_four_far_disks_join_fails_by_default (pinned upstream's 1006) is deleted; _with_the_fix is renamed fork_67b8a1e_four_far_disks_join.
  • wr_536_boolean_2d_far_disks.rs: renamed far_disks_join_on_one_plane, with the flag line dropped.
  • issue_1526_boolean_2d_faces_apart.rs: the comparison with the flag off is dropped; the exact-area check stays.
  • fork_edf7414_perforated_plate_work.rs and boolean_2d_coincident_edges_work.rs: the flag lines are dropped. Their counts are unchanged.
  • issue_1945, issue_2020, issue_2260, wr650 and kernel_cases/fixes.json: the two flag names are removed from their SolidCraft preset lists.

• Added checks only (no expectation changed): leftmost_points_a_rounding_apart_keep_one_order (new test) and the area(A) + area(B) − area(A∩B) assertion in far_faces_of_recorded_sheet_cuts_build_and_their_areas_agree.

Integration status

• Rebased onto main 7e2a596 (2026-11-14). One conflict, in crates/smlib/src/core.rs's fix list: main retired fillet_corner_ball_center_from_axes (solidcore: retire the group A UpstreamFixes flags that change no result #16433) next to this PR's retired WR-536 line, so neither line stays. No other code change beyond the rebase and the CodeRabbit fixes. Earlier, on 541350e (main 22aa00d), the full gate also passed 25/25. WR-305's certified part is on by default since solidcore: near-tangent strips in planar booleans are decided once, by certificate (WR-305, WR-614) (#15718) #15747, and its curved midpoint sample stays opt-in (above).
• At this head (MEASURED): solidcore-ops --test prism 20/20 (with solidcore: near-tangent strips in planar booleans are decided once, by certificate (WR-305, WR-614) (#15718) #15747's two flange tests); the flag-retirement tests (issue_1945, issue_2260, issue_2020, wr650, fork_67b8a1e, wr_536, issue_1526, fork_edf7414, boolean_2d_coincident_edges_work) and wr_614_coincident_strip_crossing 12/12 pass; engine flange 87/87, including the flange-corner test. Re-probe above.
• Pre-gate checks at this head (MEASURED, all pass): fmt (root and solidcore); clippy -D warnings, all targets, on solidcraft-kernel, -smlib and -doc and on solidcore and solidcore-ops; solidcore script tests and record ids; the panic-site ratchet.

Walkthrough

The change makes two solidcore boolean behaviors unconditional, removes their configuration flags, and updates related tests and documentation. It also normalizes prism arc and quadratic reads, canonicalizes planar region ordering, adjusts empty-result handling, and routes kernel planar-region booleans through solidcore-ops.

Handle planar boolean results and kernel delegation solidcore/crates/solidcore-ops/src/prism.rs, solidcore/crates/solidcore-ops/tests/prism.rs, crates/kernel/src/prism.rs	solidcore-ops treats assigned results with no faces as empty. Tests cover empty intersections, operand-order consistency, canonical result ordering, and recorded far-face cases. The kernel API delegates planar-region booleans to solidcore-ops and maps its errors.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: Low · up to 54135

The planar boolean now goes through solidcore-ops with the same error messages, and results are meant to come back in a stable canonical order. A few narrow cases can still return a different but geometrically equivalent representation. These are signed-zero ordering near x or y = 0, arcs on downward-facing sheets, and booleans where one operand is empty. These are worth fixing before merge but are unlikely to cause wrong shapes. Rerun the full test gate on the final head.

Security architecture risk: Minimal · up to 54135

The change warrants design review, but the inspected paths do not establish a new security or failure-containment risk. Input checks remain before boolean execution, failed public operations do not publish partially modified operands, and shared execution retains serialization and recovery controls.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• observed — The behavioral scope extends beyond planar wrappers to shared default-kernel 3D face-pair processing. Delegated planar operations use a process-wide serialized session; these package relationships do not establish separate services or tenant boundaries.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — Newly unconditional plane-coverage checks refuse geometry that cannot be covered rather than continuing with invalid surfaces. Face-box failures generally fall back to unbounded boxes, retaining intersection work; cancellation and unported errors propagate instead.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• observed — The delegated session rejects same-thread reentry before acquiring its kernel lock. Cancellation or panic replaces the shared kernel before reuse, clears call state, and releases the lock before invoking a guarded failure callback. These existing controls now contain the delegated planar operation.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: SolidCraft's planar region booleans now run on solidcore-ops, and the ops copy was aligned first. It also references RFC 0003 step 2.10. The raw summary confirms the kernel prism.rs delegation and the ops-side fixes (empty results, flag retirements, canonical ordering), so the title is related to the changeset. It is somewhat long (109 characters) and the phrase 'made to match first' covers only part of the change, but it is specific and accurate.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description is thorough and follows the template closely. It has a Change section explaining the switch from the kernel copy to solidcore_ops, the four behavior changes, and the flag retirements. It states the default-change line as 'no' with an explanation that a kernel result changes. It includes Test change lines for each changed existing expectation, as the template requires for kernel changes. The Validation section gives detailed measured results. It does not include screenshots, which the template allows for changes without useful observable UI behavior, and it does not state an explicit reason for the kernel behavior change beyond the test-change lines. The Integration status section is present and records the rebase and gate runs. Some sections are very long and hard to scan, and the Title item is not visible in the provided description, but the content is substantively complete.

Full details: Existing Defaults Unchanged

Explanation

The PR changes no UX default that a user relies on. The check exempts kernel and geometry results, including changes under solidcore/. Changes in this PR fall into that exempt group. Evidence from the provider-reported PR and the raw summary: - Kernel and geometry result changes (exempt): - planar_regions_boolean now delegates to solidcore_ops::prism. - Empty 2D boolean results return no regions instead of Status(1001). - Some calls that were refused now build. Example: the long-channel engraving. - Planar boolean results come back in a canonical region and loop order. - Polynomial quadratics read back as weight-1 conics. - Arc start angles are normalized to (-π, π]. - surface.surface_p5 golden rows change. - Kernel configuration (not a UX default): - The boolean2d_plane_covers_far_faces and boolean_skips_faces_apart fields are removed from UpstreamFixes. - The matching preset lines in crates/smlib/src/core.rs and fixes.json are removed. - These are kernel fix flags. They are not user settings, preferences, or UI options. - No UX surface changed: The summary lists no changes to settings, preferences, command-line options, shortcuts, UI layout, or UI behaviour. The description states Changes a default: no, and that matches the changed files in the summary. - DXF and flat-pattern output: These follow from the kernel result changes above. They are geometry output, not defaults. No user-visible default changes. The Changes a default: no label is consistent with the code.

[brett19]

Scope update: this PR converges SolidCraft's planar region booleans onto solidcore_ops::prism (RFC 0003 step 2.10). A side-by-side probe on every real call in the doc, kernel and engine sheet tests found that the two implementations differ today. Without fixes, 13,959 results differ and ops refuses 2,702 calls the kernel copy builds. With smlib's fix set, 3,052 differ (mostly region order and rounding, about 205 with real arc differences) and 17 fail.

An independent analysis is deciding, class by class, which side is correct. This PR will make ops match the correct behaviour (fixing whichever side is wrong), prove each class, then switch crates/kernel to ops so it shrinks. #14758's per-round flat-work charging and its speed-up follow on top.

Normalize arc starts after reversing a loop.

For an accepted plane with up < 0, this reversal occurs after read::arc normalizes the start angle. An arc with start = -PI/2 and sweep = -PI becomes an arc starting at -3*PI/2, because Seg2::reversed uses start + sweep. The final canonical pass only rotates segments, so the returned angle violates the new (-PI, PI] contract.

Normalize arc starts after orientation changes. Add a downward-facing sheet regression.

After reversing pieces for downward-facing planes, normalize each resulting arc’s start angle so it remains within the canonical (-PI, PI] range; `Seg2::reversed` can move an already-normalized start outside that range.

Canonicalize results from the empty-operand shortcuts.

If a contains regions in reverse order and b is empty, union and subtraction return a.to_vec() without calling sheet_regions. The result retains the input region order, loop starts, hole order and arc angles. Union with an empty a has the same problem for b.

These paths bypass the canonical result contract now exposed by the kernel API. Route retained operands through kernel-owned canonicalization, and test empty operands on both sides.

The empty-operand shortcuts in the Boolean operation match block return retained operands without canonicalizing them. Route retained operands through the kernel-owned canonicalization used by sheet_regions for both union with an empty left or right operand and subtraction with an empty right operand, while preserving the empty-result behavior for intersection and subtraction with an empty left operand. Add tests covering empty operands on both sides and verifying canonical results.
