ifcviewer: v15 — defer property metadata off the first-paint path
First-paint over a network is metadata-bound: the whole post-index metadata (~10 MB on a 118 MB model) had to download before any geometry. But ~25% of it — elements + string_table, the IFC element tree (names/GUIDs/hierarchy) — is used only for UI/picking, never for rendering (ViewportCore never touches it). v15 splits the post-index metadata into a render-CRITICAL block (meshes, instances, georef, chunk TOC) preceded by its byte length, then a DEFERRED block (elements + string_table). The web loader reads only the critical block before painting; the deferred block sits at a known, self-describing offset ([critical end, EOF)) and is fetched on demand. Desktop reads both (local). Web on-demand path is wired and complete (not yet called — no UI consumer): loadDeferredMetadataWeb(model_id) range-fetches + parses the deferred block into ModelGpuData.elements/string_table, at most once; the first consumer will be "show the selected object's name" on pick. No background prefetch — view-only sessions never download the property data (saves 2.64 MB on this model). parseSidecarTail split into parseSidecarCritical + parseSidecarDeferred (pure, unit-tested); StreamingSidecar gains the critical-block locator. Measured (118 MB model): critical metadata 10.35 -> 7.71 MB, deferred 2.64 MB off the path; first paint 10.5 -> 9.6 s @ 24 Mbps. (Instances still dominate the critical block — the next metadata lever.) Format -> v15, no back-compat; regenerate sidecars. 111/111 unit + 6/6 web smoke pass.
