Change

A drawing's dimensions are laid out on the sheet by the engine. Until now, the engine kept its own copies of three small pieces of maths:

• the way a dimension's line runs;
• whether one line already draws another;
• how the numbers of an ordinate set are spaced so they don't overlap.

This PR moves that maths into one module in the drawing code, crates/doc/src/drawing/line_maths.rs, and the engine now asks it. Part of #13052 (baseline and ordinate dimension sets).

It follows @jyviko's ruling on this PR: the helpers belong in SolidCraft's drawing code, not in solidcore, as one PR. So the PR moves from main to drawings and is rewritten.

The module:

• LineCoords: a dimension's line on paper, with its unit direction and normal. along and across read a point against it. reach gives the farthest point across it on one side.
• covers: one line already draws another.
• spread_along: places along a line, at least a pitch apart and moved as little as can be. It refuses more than MAX_ITEMS places (from MAX_SET_TARGETS, as asked), unordered or non-finite input, and sizes past 2^50 pitches.

The engine (drawing_dimension_paper.rs, cmd/drawing_dimension.rs):

• line_direction, spread, covered and same_line are deleted.
• 9 sites now use the module: linear, centred, chain, baseline, ordinate, across, the layout's line collector, and the default side of a new dimension.
• geom's drawing_measure::axis is now pub, so LineCoords uses the one axis rule geom already has. No geom code is added.

Measured against the ruling, point by point:

• spread_along and line_coords_2d (now LineCoords) move here.
• to_local_all doesn't move. geom's Plane::to_local already does that job. The view projections that would use it live in geom's drawing_measure.rs, which is planned to move into the drawing code as a whole in a follow-up.
• Two doc sites in the ruling's list stay as they are: OnPlane::ends and Lookup::line in drawing/dimension.rs. They sort 3D model points along a model direction, before any view, so a paper-line helper doesn't fit them.

Geometry functions in the app crates (the rule of #13957, Add a shrink-only ledger of geometry computed in the app crates): 6 engine functions stop computing geometry (line_direction, linear, chain, baseline, ordinate, covered). The module adds 3 (LineCoords::along, LineCoords::across, covers). Net: 3 fewer. The ledger isn't on drawings yet.

Nothing a user sees changes: every switched site reads the same numbers.

Changes a default: no

Validation

Run on the pinned 1.99.1 toolchain, on this branch's head (f3bfa8bcb3, on #13053's 42d9394581):

• cargo test -p solidcraft-doc --lib -- drawing: 146 pass (10 of them the module's).

• cargo test -p solidcraft-engine --lib -- drawing_dimension drawing_view drawing_scene: 365 pass. Two tests the filter matches are in tests/KNOWN_FAILING_TESTS (gaps 1 and 2 on Drawing W13, W14: references that survive model edits, and updating drawings when the model changes #4892) and were skipped.

• cargo test -p solidcraft-geom --lib -- drawing_measure: 14 pass.

• Six planted faults in line_maths.rs, each caught:

  Fault	Tests that caught it	Of those, engine tests
  along read as across	10	8
  normal turned clockwise	22	19
  spacing without its pitch shift	5	2
  reach on the near side	4	3
  covers without end slack	1	0
  no forward flip	5	4

  The engine tests catching them shows the layout really uses the module.

• cargo clippy -p solidcraft-geom -p solidcraft-doc -p solidcraft-engine --lib --tests -- -D warnings: clean.

• rustfmt --check on the touched files: clean.

The engine's spread and covered tests moved into line_maths_tests.rs with the functions. That includes the fuzz test that makes many places at one spot. Only three things changed in them:

• the call (spread_along(..).unwrap(), covers(.., 1e-6));
• 65 is named as MAX_ITEMS;
• the empty case now sits with the refusal tests.

Screenshots of the behavior (when observable)

None: this moves code and changes no number on any sheet.

Integration status

• Stacked on Drawings: baseline and ordinate dimension sets (#13052) #13053 (42d9394581, not merged yet), so the diff shows Drawings: baseline and ordinate dimension sets (#13052) #13053's commits too. It stays a draft until Drawings: baseline and ordinate dimension sets (#13052) #13053 lands, then goes ready.
• Drawings: drag a dimension's text or line to a point of its sheet (#4894) #4895 (Drawings: drag a dimension's text or line to a point of its sheet) adds two calls to line_direction, which this PR deletes. Whichever of the two lands second switches those drag sites to LineCoords.
• Checked against drawings b0862e371f: merges cleanly. The one newer commit touches none of these files.

Walkthrough

The pull request adds a core spacing algorithm and prism coordinate calculations. It exposes these APIs through the ops crate and adds tests for results and invalid inputs.

Changes: Layout Spacing

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Spacing algorithm solidcore/crates/solidcore/src/layout.rs, solidcore/crates/solidcore/src/lib.rs	The core crate adds spread_along, which adjusts ordered places to meet a minimum pitch using pooled adjacent violators. It validates inputs and results, defines MAX_ITEMS, and tests spacing properties and rejection cases.
Operations API solidcore/crates/solidcore-ops/src/layout.rs, solidcore/crates/solidcore-ops/src/lib.rs, solidcore/crates/solidcore-ops/tests/layout.rs	The ops crate exports spread_along and MAX_ITEMS. The wrapper maps core errors to Error::Argument, and the test checks an overlapping-place result and invalid arguments.

Prism Coordinates

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Coordinate calculations solidcore/crates/solidcore/src/prism/profile.rs, solidcore/crates/solidcore/src/prism/tests.rs	The core crate adds frame validation, batch conversion to frame-local coordinates, and 2D line coordinates. It checks finite inputs, frame tolerance, direction length, and point-count limits. Tests cover coordinate results, thresholds, and rejection cases.
Operations API solidcore/crates/solidcore-ops/src/prism.rs, solidcore/crates/solidcore-ops/tests/prism.rs	The ops crate adds wrappers for frame-local conversion and line coordinates. The wrappers convert between ops and core types and map failures to Error::Argument; tests check results and invalid arguments.

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

Merge Risk: Low · previous review 4ea0b

This adds new, unused helpers for dimension drawing, with no existing callers switched over. One narrow edge case remains: extremely large coordinates can give labels slightly off their ideal centre while still correctly spaced. It is safe to merge with owner awareness.

Security architecture risk: Low · up to 4ea0b

The new helpers perform geometry calculations without adding privileged operations or persistent state. Risk is low, with a remaining resource-handling consideration: oversized point batches are copied before their size is rejected. Exposure to untrusted callers has not been established.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The demonstrated reachability is through library calls exercised by integration tests. Resource consumption occurs in the hosting caller's process; available caller evidence does not establish remote access, cross-tenant reach, or deployment-wide exposure.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — Caller-controlled geometry passes through kernel validation before successful results are returned. The new projection tolerance is confined to the new API; the existing section-measurement gate still uses the original finite-frame and 1e-12 checks.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• observed — Both coordinate adapters convert the entire point slice into a new vector before invoking the kernel's count check. Consequently, the 8192-point budget bounds kernel projection work but not adapter allocation or conversion work for rejected oversized inputs.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — If these adapters will receive untrusted batches, enforce the point-count budget before allocating their converted copies, while retaining kernel validation. This would make the resource limit effective across the adapter boundary; it is hardening, not a verified remote denial-of-service finding.

Full details: Existing Defaults Unchanged

Explanation

The check fails only if the PR changes a UX default: a default setting or preference, the default result of a usual command or tool use, the default UI layout or behaviour, or a shortcut. Purely additive changes pass. Changed kernel or geometry results under solidcore/ do not count as changed defaults. Evidence from the PR metadata and summary: - solidcore/crates/solidcore/src/layout.rs adds the public MAX_ITEMS constant and spread_along. The solidcore-ops crate adds the layout module, to_local_all, LineCoords, and line_coords_2d. These changes are additive. No existing public function is changed. - The PR description moves engine helpers (line_direction, spread, covered, same_line) into a drawing module. It states that the switched sites read the same numbers and that no sheet output changes. It also states "Changes a default: no". - The description mentions no setting, preference, shortcut, layout, or command default change. The summary lists no such change. - The solidcraft-geom change makes drawing_measure::axis public. This is a visibility change, not a default change. - The CodeRabbit threads concern batch-size checks and rounding in the solidcore spread_along kernel. The custom check excludes kernel or geometry results, so these threads do not decide this check. Limitation: linked-repository inspection was unavailable. I did not read the diff for the engine files. The verdict rests on the PR metadata, the summary, and the author's stated validation. The author reports that the engine's own tests pass and that sheet output is unchanged.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the drawing dimension sets' line maths consolidation into one drawing module and the deletion of the engine's copies, which matches the PR's main change (moving line_maths into crates/doc/src/drawing and removing engine copies). However, the raw summary describes a different changeset entirely: additions to solidcore and solidcore-ops (spread_along, to_local_all, line_coords_2d, MAX_ITEMS, frame_is_orthonormal_to) with no drawing module or engine deletions. The PR objectives also describe that solidcore changeset. The title therefore does not match the changeset provided in the context, so it is unrelated to the files listed.

Resolution

Confirm the correct changeset for this review. The title describes changes to crates/doc/src/drawing/line_maths.rs and deletion of engine helpers, but the file summaries and objectives cover solidcore and solidcore-ops kernel helpers (layout::spread_along, prism::to_local_all, prism::line_coords_2d). Either update the title to describe the solidcore layout and prism helpers, or supply the diff for the drawing module changes.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description is detailed and follows most of the template: it explains the change in plain terms, states the default-change line (Changes a default: no), gives validation results, and includes a screenshots section with a reason. It does not match the changeset in the context, though. It describes moving code into crates/doc/src/drawing/line_maths.rs and deleting engine copies, while the raw summary and objectives cover solidcore and solidcore-ops additions in layout.rs and prism.rs. The Integration status section is present. The description is largely complete in form but off-topic for the supplied changes.

Resolution

Rewrite the description for the changes in the diff. Explain the solidcore and solidcore-ops helpers (spread_along, to_local_all, line_coords_2d, frame_is_orthonormal_to), the kernel rule the change touches, and the validation run for those crates. If the description correctly covers a different PR, attach the matching diff to this review.

15-15: Trivial · Maintainability & Code Quality · Poor tradeoff

Ops maps every kernel refusal from spread_along to Error::Argument, so callers cannot tell the causes apart.

The mapping discards the kernel's error value. Callers cannot distinguish unordered places, an invalid pitch, too many places, or insufficient precision. This matches how other ops wrappers already map kernel errors to Error::Argument. Preserving the reason needs a new Error variant or a redesign of the error enum for the whole crate. That change should be a separate follow-up, not part of this PR.

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Keep application acceptance thresholds outside the shared kernel.

MIN_DIRECTION and VIEW_FRAME_TOL encode SolidCraft drawing policy in kernel APIs. For example, another client cannot use line_coords_2d with a nonzero direction of length 1e-10, even when that client supports this scale.

Pass these acceptance thresholds into the kernel helpers. Let ops choose the workflow defaults, and let the application supply drawing-specific policy.

As per path instructions, “solidcore is shared by every client,” so application-specific “defaults or settings” do not belong here.

Check the batch limit before allocating the conversion buffer.

When points.len() exceeds MAX_SEGMENTS, both wrappers still convert and allocate the complete batch. The kernel then rejects it without using the converted points. A million-point batch therefore creates a large temporary allocation for a request that must fail.

Check the count before either collect(). Keep the kernel checks for direct kernel callers.

Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Accumulated rounding shifts large pooled blocks away from their least-squares centre.

With 6,000 places at 1e15 and pitch 1, the least-squares solution is centred on 1e15. At line 69, blocks.push((a + b, m + k)) adds f64 block sums that reach about 6e18, where one ulp is 1024. Each merge rounds, so the block mean is wrong before the places are formed at line 79. Replaying these operations in double precision puts the centre about 26.75 pitches from 1e15.

The size guard at lines 91-95 only checks whether rounding can erase a gap. It does not bound this displacement, so this input is accepted and the documented least-squares placement is not met.

Keep the rounding of the block sums far below the output resolution at this magnitude. Either accumulate block sums with compensated summation, or pool on targets measured from a reference place. The second option is valid because the pooling is invariant under a fixed shift, as the module header states. A shift must not overflow for spans near f64::MAX. Add a regression test at 1e15 that checks the centre to a small fraction of a pitch, and confirm that it fails on the current code.

@jyviko could you look at the shape of this one before the rest of the series follows? My question: the first two helpers (points in a view's own frame, coordinates along and across a line) are general geometry and fit solidcore. The third, spacing labels so they don't overlap, reads more like drawing layout than kernel work. Should that one live in the drawings code instead of prism?

[jyviko]

Thanks, Cam. The maths and the tests are careful: the scaled length that gives the same bits on wasm, pool adjacent violators with a proven gap margin, refusals that name the size that fits, and the planted-fault runs. The code is good. What needs changing is where it lives and when it lands.

Where it lives. solidcore holds what more than one client app needs. Each app keeps its own drawing crate (solidcore/docs/layers.md, the Apps row). Only SolidCraft's drawing dimension sets use these three helpers. No other client of solidcore needs local coordinates in a view's plane, coordinates along a line, or label spacing. So they belong in SolidCraft's drawing/doc crate, not in solidcore. That also answers your question about prism: none of the three goes into solidcore, so none sits in prism. If another client ever needs local coordinates on a plane, that is when to_local_all and line_coords_2d move down to the kernel, with the bounds prism asks for.

When it lands. Merged on its own, this PR adds a second spread beside the engine's spread, with nothing calling the new one. The layers doc treats two implementations of one job as a bug. Please make it one PR:

• move spread_along, to_local_all and line_coords_2d into SolidCraft's drawing crate;
• switch the twelve engine and doc sites to them;
• delete the engine's own spread.

Then there is one copy from the first commit, and the planted-fault and fuzz tests come with it.

Two small things:

• The refusal "more than 8192 places: at most 8192 fit" hard-codes the count. Derive it from MAX_ITEMS, so the two can't drift apart.
• The local runs used toolchain 1.98.0. The repo pins 1.99.1, and CI checks with that.

[bherbruck]

Thanks for the careful write-up. After talking it over with @jyviko: this math should stay in SolidCraft, not solidcore. Please move the helpers into the drawings code (the label spacing especially is page layout, not kernel geometry). If another app ends up needing the frame and line helpers later, we'll move them somewhere shared then. Happy to review it once it's in the drawings side.
