[brett19]

A boolean operand that touches itself along a line, carried as two coincident edges of two faces each (the form a record round trip writes), is now glued back into one edge of four faces before the merge. This is the kernel's own form, which the merge handles. The glue is on by default, with no flag. Two edges are glued only when their curves are proved within the B-rep tolerance of each other over their whole spans. Samples never decide it.

Carries #13576 by @bherbruck: its three commits are cherry-picked with their authorship, and four commits on top (6fd06cf, 7c5c25a, 9cb66f6, 2374968) make these changes. #13576 has since been closed (asked at #13576 (comment)).

• No flag. Kernel::fixes.boolean_glues_self_touching_edges is removed, and merge_boolean_by always calls glue_self_touching_edges on both operands.

• A bound over the whole edge replaces the 3-sample test (coincidence_bound, boolean/api_brep.rs). It bounds the two edges' Hausdorff distance, with rounding included:

  • two lines: each edge is the segment between its curve's points at the ends of its interval (Line::segment_over, each end with its coordinate error bound). For (1-s)a0 + s a1 against (1-s)b0 + s b1, the distance is at most (1-s)|a0-b0| + s|a1-b1| by the triangle inequality, so it is at most the larger end distance at every s. Both pairings are tried and the smaller bound is kept. Each end's error e adds 2e (≥ √3·e), and the sum is rounded up by (1+γ_2). Distances use the existing norm_up, which rounds up and returns None when a number is not finite.
  • two non-rational B-splines on the same interval, inside both NURB domains: the existing nurbs::crv_deviation::certified_distance. That is the convex-hull bound over common Bézier spans at one degree, with the rounding of refinement, elevation and translation charged. It bounds the whole common domain, which contains the edge interval.
  • every other pair (arcs, rational curves, different intervals, mixed kinds) has no bound and is not glued, so the operand goes to the merge as given, as on main.
  • The acceptance is bound.is_some_and(|d| d <= tol), so a NaN bound or tolerance refuses.

• No crack-glued edge, however many copies (review fix, 7c5c25a): copy_pairs checks each copy against the faces of the first edge and of every copy already glued into it, so a face never ends up on both sides of the glued edge. An edge with a face on both sides (more than two of its uses on one face: the kernel's crack edge) is never glued. The old doc said so, but the dedup'd face list let it through. Unit test: copies_are_checked_against_every_face_already_glued (three-edge buckets, crack edges as first and as copy, a shared face, no proof).

• A gluing that fails leaves the operand as given (all or nothing). GlueEdgesGeneral can fail on a valid operand both before its first topology change (b.remove_from_edge_list(del)) and after it:

  • before: the PreEdit / MergeInBrep / face PreEdit notifications, the same-geometry test's intervals and curve_max_distance_between (orientation Same, equal intervals), the vertex reads and the shared-vertex precondition;
  • after, for each moved use pair: the radial-sector search and its InvalidInput errors (an edge or mate without edge use, shell, radial or region), set_uv_trim_curve, edge_remove of the pair, the sector's mate and loop tests, set_orientation, add_oriented_eu_pair, a surviving wire's edge_remove and vertex-use unlinking, the survivor's set_tolerance, and destroy of the deleted edge. Then merge_shells, test_closure_split_region_attempt (which passes its status on under brep_edit_statuses_pass_on and may draw from k.rng), is_spine and test_closure_split_region_edge.

  Because "after" sites exist, a check up front can't replace a rollback. glue_all_or_none saves the operand (Brep::snapshot), k.rng and k.upstream_ub_passed before the first pair. Any ordinary failure (error::native_failure: one that can stand for an upstream status) restores all three exactly, and the merge runs on the operand as given, as on main. Port defects (PortInvariant, NotFound, Unported, …) and cancellation are restored too, then propagate. If the snapshot can't be taken (a cleared surface owner, or nesting past the copy bound), nothing is glued. The site order is PROVEN from the code order in topology/brep/p7.rs and listed in glue_self_touching_edges's doc. The restore is PROVEN by a_failed_gluing_restores_the_operand_and_the_rng: the second pair fails after the first changed an edge's tolerance, drew from the rng and noted an upstream-UB id, and the edges, the counts, the rng and the UB list all equal the saved ones, for an InvalidInput (0 glued, merge goes on) and a NotFound (returned). It is also PROVEN by glue_edges_general_failures_leave_the_operand_as_given: the real GlueEdgesGeneral with non-shared vertices returns 0 glued and leaves the operand as given; with a stale id it returns an error and leaves the operand as given.

• Two solids touching along an edge (split_shared) are glued back into the one shared edge the kernel's own union makes. IsManifoldSolid runs after the glue, so such an operand can go through NonManifoldBoolean instead of ManifoldBoolean. New test two_solids_touching_along_an_edge_survive_a_round_trip_and_booleans: after a round trip, a cut across the edge (1.75), an intersection across it (0.5) and a union far from it (3) give the exact volumes and valid bodies, with no fixes and with every fix. MEASURED: it also passes with the glue call removed, so this guards against a regression and does not show a fix.

• Determinism: buckets and the glued set are a BTreeMap and a BTreeSet instead of a HashMap and a HashSet. The old code sorted the buckets, so this is for clarity and does not fix a defect.

• Tests: fix(boolean): an operand touching itself along two coincident edges is glued before the merge (WR-754, #3160) #13576's per-bug test file moves into the boolean area file (solidcore-ops/tests/boolean.rs, mod pocket_with_hole_at_its_corner, added below the existing tests, with no existing line of that file changed, and unchanged except that the round-trip case runs with no fixes and with every fix instead of setting the flag). Two new unit tests are in boolean/api_brep.rs.

• BSplineCurve::nurb_ref goes from pub(super) to pub(crate) so that the bound can read the NURB.

• The WR-754 record (new in this PR, not yet merged) now describes the default-on fix and the bound.

Fixes #13650

Not fixed here: #15621

I reproduced #15621's script with the ops crate (cylinder r 25 h 50 joined with the 100×15×50 bar whose corner edge lies on the cylinder). The kernel's union is valid. Its interference with the cylinder (98174.770424624, which is π·25²·50) and the cut (75000) both build. After a record round trip the touching line is one edge with 8 edge uses (the cylinder's side face meets itself across the line, plus the two bar faces). It is not two coincident edges, so this glue never sees it. The interference then fails with NotSolid (no fixes and every fix), and the cut fails with NotSolid / Status(1001). That is a separate merge defect in the one-edge-of-four-faces form when one face repeats, so this PR does not claim #15621. MEASURED, on this branch and on main alike (the glue does not change that operand).

Evidence

Claim	Label
The line bound is an upper bound of the two segments' Hausdorff distance (triangle-inequality argument above) and charges each end's evaluation error	PROVEN (code: coincidence_bound, with the argument in its doc). Asserted by the_coincidence_bound_of_two_lines_is_their_end_distance: reversed and identical lines ≤ 1e-13, a 3e-6 offset gives a bound in [3e-6, 3e-6 + 1e-13], and a NaN end gives no bound
The B-spline bound covers the edge's whole interval	PROVEN (reuses certified_distance, whose doc carries the hull and rounding argument; the code checks that the edge interval is the same for both edges and lies inside both NURB domains)
A real defect near the accepted case is still refused	PROVEN (a_bump_between_the_samples_is_not_coincident): two cubics between the same ends, one with a 1e-4 bump confined to [0, 1/8]. The test asserts they agree exactly at t = 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, so #13576's 3-sample check would have glued them. The bound is ≥ the bump's dense-sampled peak and > 1e-6, so they are not glued. Mixed kinds and different intervals give no bound.
Two arcs that share both vertices but are the two halves of a circle are not glued	MEASURED (diagnostic run on the #15621 bodies: every such pair gave no bound)
#13650's round trip now joins to a valid solid with volume = target + tool (1e-6 relative), with no fixes and with every fix	MEASURED (filling_a_pocket_whose_corner_a_hole_reaches_joins_after_a_record_round_trip). With the glue call removed, the same test fails: "the round-tripped body, all fixes false: the result is not a closed solid"
The surviving edge's tolerance can rise to the largest of the copies' tolerances, never above it: the glue gap is 0, so GlueEdgesGeneral's radius is max(del_tol, surv_tol), and the survivor is raised to it when it exceeds 1.1·surv_tol (p7.rs set_tolerance). The glue happens only when the proved distance is ≤ the B-rep tolerance	PROVEN from the code (glue_edges_general with edge_gap = 0.0)

§7 checklist

1. Sampled or bounded? Bounded over the whole edge: the end-point convexity bound for lines, and the Bézier hull for B-splines. No samples.
2. Rounding counted? Yes. Each line end has its evaluation error from segment_over, norm_up rounds up, and (1+γ_2) covers the final sum. For B-splines, certified_distance charges its own rounding in the curves' frame.
3. NaN refuses? Yes: is_some_and(|d| d <= tol), norm_up returns None when a number is not finite, and certified_distance refuses non-finite input.
4. No tolerance widened, no expectation loosened? None. The tolerance is the B-rep's, the glue gap is 0, and no existing test expectation changes (fix(boolean): an operand touching itself along two coincident edges is glued before the merge (WR-754, #3160) #13576's test moved verbatim, apart from the flag line).
5. Refusal names the size that fits: n/a. Nothing is refused to the caller: a pair with no bound is left unglued and the merge runs as on main.
6. Bounded work: no recursion. One pass over the edges, then pairwise comparisons only within vertex-pair buckets. certified_distance is bounded by the curves' spans and MAX_DEGREE.
7. Every moved golden explained: none moved. All goldens (dist/goldens --all --goldens) pass unchanged on 2374968, and the kernel rig passes.
8. Real-defect test: a_bump_between_the_samples_is_not_coincident (above).

Gate (sc-gate.sh --core-only on 2374968, case 1 widened to all goldens plus the rig because every boolean now runs the glue): PASS for fmt, script tests, clippy, panic sites, wasm, nextest workspace (1046 s), doctests, solids, the kernel rig (284 s) and all goldens (336 s, 0 moved).

Walkthrough

Two-B-rep Boolean merging now checks operands for eligible coincident edge copies and attempts transactional gluing before constructing the merge. Tests cover eligibility, coincidence bounds, rollback, and Boolean results on original and record-round-tripped bodies.

Changes: Coincident-edge Boolean preprocessing

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Edge eligibility and coincidence bounds solidcore/crates/solidcore/src/boolean/api_brep.rs, solidcore/crates/solidcore/src/nurbs/b_spline_curve/p1.rs	The code selects candidate edge copies based on topology, face, and curve-kind constraints. It checks line and B-spline coincidence with conservative bounds. nurb_ref is now visible within the crate.
Candidate collection and transactional pre-merge gluing solidcore/crates/solidcore/src/boolean/api_brep.rs, solidcore/plan/upstream-issues/WR-754--boolean-operand-touching-itself-along-two-coincident-edges.md	The merge path collects candidates and attempts gluing on both operands before constructing the merge. Failed gluing restores the operand and kernel state; successful gluing refreshes cached topology. The issue record describes the round-trip case and fallback behavior.
Rollback and Boolean regression coverage solidcore/crates/solidcore/src/boolean/api_brep.rs, solidcore/crates/solidcore-ops/tests/boolean.rs	Tests check candidate selection, coincidence bounds, rollback and error handling. Boolean regressions cover pocket-and-hole and edge-touching solids after record round trips, with no fixes and all fixes.

Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: Low · up to 23749

Boolean merges now glue coincident edge copies before merging, which fixes the record round-trip pocket-fill case. If a glue fails, the operation silently falls back to the old unglued merge, which can still produce an invalid body or fail. Mergeable, but the owner should decide whether this fallback should become a typed refusal.

Security architecture risk: Minimal · up to 23749

The inspected change remains within existing geometry operations, with conservative eligibility checks and per-operand recovery. No introduced defect materially affecting security, failure containment, rollback, or ownership was established.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — Caller-supplied geometry reaches additional topology-editing work through existing Boolean APIs. The directly established scope is the two owned operands and their mutable kernel session; the inspected evidence does not establish a remote entrypoint, cross-tenant exposure, or additional privilege.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — Topology rewriting requires a positive coincidence-bound comparison against the B-rep tolerance. Unsupported pairs and unavailable bounds are refused. Lines use endpoint bounds with numerical-error allowances; B-splines require equal edge intervals within both domains and a certified-distance calculation that rejects unsupported curve representations and nonfinite inputs.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• observed — Transaction scope is one operand's glue sequence, not the entire Boolean operation. A later error can follow a successful first-operand transition without restoring that transition's RNG or diagnostic effects. The owned operands are not returned on that error path, so this is not evidence of an escaping partially edited B-rep.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: a boolean operand that touches itself along a line (two coincident edges) is glued into one edge before the merge. It matches the changeset, which adds self-touching-edge gluing to merge_boolean_by and references issue #13650. The title is long at 95 characters but specific and accurate.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the template's main parts: a plain-language Change section that explains the problem and the new behavior, the required 'Changes a default: no' line, a Validation section with measured results and a gate run, and a linked issue (Fixes #13650). It does not include a 'Test change:' line, but the PR changes no existing test expectations, so none is required. The Screenshots section is not filled in. The kernel change is not observable in the app, so the template allows omitting it. The Integration status section is missing: it should record the upstream commit and PR status checked, any conflicts resolved, and post-integration validation. The description also uses a lot of internal shorthand (PROVEN, MEASURED, §7, sc-gate) that a newcomer would not follow, which runs against the template's request for plain words.

Resolution

Consider adding an Integration status section (upstream commit checked, PR status, conflicts resolved, validation after integration). Consider rewording the Change section in plainer terms for someone new to the project, and defining the labels PROVEN and MEASURED.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Directly linked issue #13650 has one coding objective. Gluing the two coincident self-touch edges into one edge before the merge makes the pocket-filling union succeed. The change implements this. merge_boolean_by now always calls glue_self_touching_edges on both operands (api_brep.rs). Edges are glued only when coincidence_bound proves their curves are within B-rep tolerance over the whole edge. Lines use the end-point bound. Non-rational B-splines on the same interval use certified_distance. The issue's reproduction case is a line-line self-touch, which this bound covers. The reproduction test moved into solidcore-ops/tests/boolean.rs (mod pocket_with_hole_at_its_corner). It checks the join after a record round trip with no fixes and with every fix. The PR states that removing the glue call makes that test fail. Unit tests cover the bound and the rollback. This assessment relies on the PR summary and the author's measured results. I did not rerun the tests. #15621 is excluded from this objective and is not claimed by this PR.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

Each change supports the #13650 fix or its verification. The Kernel::fixes.boolean_glues_self_touching_edges flag removal follows from making the glue default-on. The coincidence_bound logic, copy_pairs face checks, glue_all_or_none rollback, and the Brep::snapshot use all belong to the glue. BSplineCurve::nurb_ref changes from pub(super) to pub(crate) so the bound can read the NURB. This is needed for certified_distance. The BTreeMap/BTreeSet change is a small determinism change inside the new glue code. The PR states it does not fix a defect. The WR-754 plan record documents the same fix. The added tests verify the fix. No change is shown to be unrelated to #13650. The #15621 case is explicitly not fixed here. The raw summary lists no unrelated file.

Full details: Existing Defaults Unchanged

Explanation

The check fails only when the PR changes a UX default: a default setting or preference, usual command or tool behaviour, UI layout or behaviour, or shortcuts. The check also says kernel or geometry results under solidcore/ are not changed defaults. Evidence: - The changed-file inventory (git diff --name-status over the review range) lists four files, all under solidcore/: crates/solidcore-ops/tests/boolean.rs (M), crates/solidcore/src/boolean/api_brep.rs (M), crates/solidcore/src/nurbs/b_spline_curve/p1.rs (M), and plan/upstream-issues/WR-754--...md (A). No UI, CLI, configuration, preference, or shortcut file changes. - The main code change makes the self-touch glue always on in merge_boolean_by. It also removes the Kernel::fixes.boolean_glues_self_touching_edges flag. This changes kernel boolean behaviour inside solidcore/. The check excludes that from "changed default". - The contributor's Changes a default: no statement does not conflict with the diff. No UX default changes, so the fail-on-mismatch clause does not apply. Caveat: the description says the glue is now on by default with no flag. That is a kernel-level default. It is not a UX default under this check's definition, so it does not cause FAIL.

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

Bound candidate work and poll cancellation during pair selection.

For a bucket of m face-disjoint B-splines that share vertices but fail coincidence, this loop performs m * (m - 1) / 2 certificate calls. Neither copy_pairs nor coincidence_bound receives a cancellation token. A cancelled Boolean must finish this preprocessing before it can stop. Add cancellation checks during candidate selection and a documented work budget that returns a typed refusal.

As per coding guidelines, certificates use bounded work and “poll the kernel's cancel token.”

Major · Functional Correctness · Heavy lift

Do not let a failed glue fall back to the unglued merge.

When GlueEdgesGeneral fails with an ordinary native error, this path restores the operand and returns Ok(0). merge_boolean_by then runs the Boolean on the representation this change is meant to glue. The failure cause is dropped in native_failure, so the caller cannot distinguish a repaired operand from an operand that failed to repair. The repository rules prohibit this try-then-fallback pattern. The source documents that the unglued form can produce a non-closed body or fail in relate (1001).

Keep the rollback. Decide the outcome from the glue's failure cause rather than discarding it. The correction must not refuse operands that the pre-change merge accepted. Check that case against the zero-return test and the golden cases before choosing a refusal or a fix at the failing glue step.
