Adds tooling to surface and normalize representations that live on an
occurrence but not its type, aligning with the convention that typed
occurrences share the type's representations (per maintainer feedback on #8788).
- Promote to Type (bim.promote_representation_to_type): slot-based, "type wins".
Copies the promoted rep onto the type as a RepresentationMap, then for every
occurrence of the type removes ANY existing rep in the same slot -- context
(context/subcontext/target view) + RepresentationIdentifier + resolved
RepresentationType -- and assigns the type's mapped rep in its place;
occurrences with none inherit it. Covers both local reps and reps inherited
from a floating IfcRepresentationMap not anchored to the type (Revit exports),
so no duplicate is left; removes the type's existing slot map first so
promoting is idempotent. Geometry is not compared, so independently-meshed /
mirrored / rotated instances are consolidated too. Adds tool.Geometry
copy_representation_deep and add_type_representation_map.
- Representations panel: group rows under Type (mapped/inherited) vs Occurrence
(local) headers so occurrence-local reps are surfaced. Adds is_mapped /
element_is_type / element_has_type to RepresentationsData; drops the old "*"
suffix.
Copy and add-representation behaviour is unchanged from base. Design note at
docs/dev-notes/occurrence-representations.md.

Introduce docs/dev-notes/ for living design notes on unmerged feature
branches (one Markdown file per branch), so collaborators and the AI agents
they work with can pick up a branch's context from the diff. Documented in
AGENTS.md and a directory README; seeded with the opening-template-on-type
note.
