Take QString out of ViewportWindow's outward-facing surface so it can
eventually move into a Qt-free ViewportCore:
void queueLoadSidecar(const QString&) → (const std::string&)
uint32_t loadSidecar(const QString&) → (const std::string&)
QString cameraString() const → std::string …
void captureNextFrameToPng(const QString&, bool)
→ (const std::string&, bool)
void setHudText(const QString&) → (const std::string&)
Internal members also moved off QString:
std::deque<QString> pending_sidecars_ → std::deque<std::string>
QString pending_screenshot_path_ → std::string
Implementation strategy: convert at the boundary where ViewportWindow
still leans on Qt internals — `loadSidecar` bridges to QString once
for QFile/QDir/QFileInfo path handling; the screenshot save path
constructs a QString locally for QImage::save; the OverlayRenderer's
HUD setter still takes QString so setHudText converts before calling
through. Each of those bridges goes away when ViewportCore lands and
OverlayRenderer / SceneLoader / SidecarBuilder get their own de-Qt
sweeps. cameraString now produces its CSV via snprintf — no QString
ever instantiated.
Bonsai-side updates (compile-only):
ifcviewer-minimal/main.cpp — queueLoadSidecar / captureNextFrameToPng
callers add .toStdString() on the QString
parser result
modules/viewport/View.cpp — setHudText callers add .toStdString() to
their `QString::arg(...)` formatter chains;
two `QString()` empty sentinels become
`std::string()`
Measurement.cpp — same pattern, two setHudText sites
ifcviewer/LengthMeasurement.cpp — same, three sites
The cameraString string-streaming fix-up in ViewportWindow.cpp drops
the temporary .toUtf8().constData() bridge from #82 — Log::Stream's
std::string overload now handles it directly.
Builds: desktop / bonsai / web all green. Tests 100/100. Closes#80.
Add Log.h (in IfcViewerCore) — a tiny stream-style logger that backs
fprintf(stderr,...), with overloads for the common primitives + char
strings. Mimics qInfo()/qWarning()'s syntax surface enough that
mass-replacing qInfo()→Log::info() and qWarning()→Log::warn() keeps
existing call sites parsing unchanged; .noquote() / .nospace() exist
as compat no-ops so chained qInfo().noquote()<<x<<y patterns survive.
QString streaming is a transitional concern — the QString → std::string
sweep (#80) hasn't landed yet, so ViewportWindow and friends still
construct QStrings for log payloads. LogQt.h (in IfcViewer, not Core)
adds the QString / QStringView operator<< overloads so those streaming
sites work without source changes during the in-flight Qt removal.
When #80 retires QString, LogQt.h drops out.
ViewportWindow.cpp: 132 qInfo/qWarning callsites converted. The two
printf-style qInfo("fmt %s", ...) callsites get fprintf with explicit
[info]/[warn] prefixes to keep the output discoverable.
Also de-Qt'd:
AreaMeasurement.cpp — 1 qInfo("fmt", …) → fprintf
SceneLoader.cpp — 4 qDebug + 1 qWarning printf-style → fprintf
GeometryStreamer.cpp — 2 qDebug printf-style → fprintf
ifcviewer-minimal/main.cpp — 2 qWarning << → Log::warn
Drops <QDebug> from each. Closes#82.
Builds: desktop / bonsai / web all green. Tests 100/100 pass.
The GL backend is gone (task #53). The wgpu/non-wgpu folder split and
the Wgpu* class prefix were both disambiguation artefacts from the
overlap period — now pure dead weight.
## Folder + library merge
* `src/ifcviewer-wgpu/` → folded into `src/ifcviewer/` (git mv tracks
every file as a rename so blame/log history survives).
* `src/ifcviewer-wgpu-minimal/` → `src/ifcviewer-minimal/` (the exe was
already named `IfcViewerMinimal`; this just brings the folder + CMake
target name into line).
* `src/ifcviewer-wgpu/tests/test_wgpu_{selection,visibility}.cpp` →
`src/ifcviewer/tests/test_{selection,visibility}.cpp`, folded into
the existing `add_ifcviewer_unit_test(...)` helper.
* The `IfcViewerWgpu` static library is dissolved — its sources become
part of the unified `IfcViewer` static library, which now bundles
scene/loader + renderer in one target. The pre-merge circular
dependency (IfcViewer linking IfcViewerWgpu just to get the
ViewportWindow.h include path that SceneLoader.h needs) goes away.
* The wgpu-native FetchContent block, the Cocoa/QuartzCore link on
Apple, the OBJCXX-enabled `.mm` source, and the wgpu-native runtime
install all move into `src/ifcviewer/CMakeLists.txt` unchanged.
## Type renames (Wgpu prefix dropped from every Wgpu* identifier)
WgpuAreaMeasurement → AreaMeasurement
WgpuBufferPool → BufferPool
WgpuLengthMeasurement → LengthMeasurement
WgpuMetalSurface → MetalSurface
WgpuModelGpuData → ModelGpuData
WgpuOverlayFrame → OverlayFrame
WgpuOverlayRenderer → OverlayRenderer
WgpuSectionPlane → SectionPlane
WgpuSelectionState → SelectionState
WgpuStreamingLoader → StreamingLoader
WgpuStreamingThread → StreamingThread
WgpuViewportWindow → ViewportWindow
WgpuVisibilityState → VisibilityState
CMake target IfcViewerWgpuMinimal → IfcViewerMinimal (exe name was
already this since wgpu shipped as default).
Deliberately kept: `onWgpuLog` (wgpu-native log callback — names a
binding to an external API, not one of *our* types), and the WGPU*
enum/struct prefixes from wgpu-native's own headers. `WgpuMemProbe`
lives in the separate `src/wgpu-mem-probe/` standalone diagnostic
project and isn't touched.
## Include-path updates
Every `#include "../ifcviewer-wgpu/Wgpu<X>.h"` → `"../ifcviewer/<X>.h"`,
every in-directory `#include "Wgpu<X>.h"` → `"<X>.h"`. Includes from
sibling subdirectories (modules/, etc.) are updated to point at
`../../../ifcviewer/` instead of `../../../ifcviewer-wgpu/`.
## cmake/CMakeLists.txt simplification
The redundant `add_subdirectory(ifcviewer-wgpu)` blocks (one inside
the BUILD_BONSAIVIEWER fan-in, one in the BONSAIVIEWER-less standalone
block) collapse into a single unconditional
`add_subdirectory(../src/ifcviewer ifcviewer)`. The standalone block
keeps only `wgpu-mem-probe` (the diagnostic tool, unrelated to the
viewer lib).
## Verification
* Full build green: `IfcViewer` static lib, `IfcViewerMinimal` exe,
`BonsaiViewer` exe, all four pre-existing ifcviewer unit tests, and
the two new-location tests (`test_selection`, `test_visibility`).
* No stray `Wgpu<X>` identifier remains across `src/ifcviewer/`,
`src/bonsaiviewer/`, `src/ifcviewer-minimal/` (verified by grep).
* Renames tracked by git as `R` entries — `git log --follow` on
ViewportWindow.cpp etc. continues to show history through the move.

Bonsai now drives the wgpu viewport for both sidecar and direct-IFC
loads. The GL viewer and its supporting state classes are gone.
SceneLoader rewire:
- Takes WgpuViewportWindow* instead of ViewportWindow*.
- Sidecar path reads metadata only (readSidecarMetadataOnly) and hands
the StreamingSidecar off to the new applyCachedModel. Field accesses
inside applySidecarData go through .meta.
- Direct-IFC path uses the wgpu A-path (upload{Mesh,Instance}Chunk +
finalizeModel). The applyLodExtension call is dropped — wgpu has no
live LOD1 splice; LOD1 still lands in the on-disk sidecar for the
next open.
Bonsai migration:
- ViewportWindow → WgpuViewportWindow across MainWindow, Measurement,
SessionState, and every modules/*/{Commands,Panel,View}.{h,cpp} —
116 sites total. Same s/OverlayRenderer::/WgpuOverlayRenderer::/
rename, 12 sites.
- Includes flipped from ../ifcviewer/ViewportWindow.h to
../ifcviewer-wgpu/WgpuViewportWindow.h. OverlayRenderer.h include
dropped (transitively reached via the viewport header).
- BonsaiViewer links IfcViewerWgpu in addition to IfcViewer for the
duration of the migration; the GL-side IfcViewer also publicly links
IfcViewerWgpu so SceneLoader can resolve WgpuViewportWindow.
GL backend deletion:
- src/ifcviewer/ViewportWindow.{cpp,h}, BvhAccel.*, OverlayRenderer.*,
Selection.*, Visibility.* all gone.
- src/ifcviewer-minimal/ removed entirely (MinimalWindow drove the GL
viewport).
- src/ifcviewer/tests: test_bvh_accel, test_selection, test_visibility
removed. The first has no replacement (wgpu doesn't use a per-instance
BVH); the latter two are ported separately. test_lod_builder,
test_sidecar_cache, test_instanced_geometry, test_federation remain
(backend-agnostic).
- IfcViewer's CMakeLists drops OpenGL, Qt::OpenGL, Qt::Widgets — none
of the surviving translation units reach for them.
Build flag plumbing:
- BUILD_BONSAIVIEWER now auto-enables BUILD_BONSAIVIEWER_WGPU since
SceneLoader requires the wgpu lib for its WgpuViewportWindow* arg.
- The wgpu subprojects add_subdirectory ahead of the GL one so
IfcViewerWgpu exists when IfcViewer's link evaluates.
- src/ifcviewer-minimal subdir reference removed from cmake/CMakeLists.

Closes the other half of task #10. The wgpu minimal already wrote PNGs
via wgpuCommandEncoderCopyTextureToBuffer + mapAsync; the GL backend
now has the equivalent via glReadPixels on the back buffer just before
swapBuffers.
- ViewportWindow::captureNextFrameToPng(path, quit_after=true) queues
a one-shot capture. render() reads the default framebuffer at full
pixel size (width * devicePixelRatio), flips bottom-up → top-down
into a QImage::Format_RGBA8888, saves PNG, and optionally
QCoreApplication::quit. Synchronous glReadPixels is fine here —
pick is interactive and rare; not used per-frame.
- ifcviewer-minimal --screenshot PATH wires through MinimalWindow
just like --camera / --benchmark. Honoured after all loads complete
(applyPendingBenchmark also drains pending_screenshot_).
Lets a parity script do:
IfcViewerMinimal foo.ifc --camera A,B,C,D,E,F --screenshot gl.png
IfcViewerWgpuMinimal foo.ifcview --camera A,B,C,D,E,F --screenshot wgpu.png
# then pixel-diff with whatever (ImageMagick, PIL, etc.)

Turn src/ifcviewer into libIfcViewer.so holding the rendering engine +
geometry pipeline (ViewportWindow, GeometryStreamer, BvhAccel,
InstancedGeometry, SidecarCache, LodBuilder, AppSettings). Move the
existing UI shell (MainWindow, SettingsWindow, main.cpp) into
src/ifcviewer-full as the IfcViewerFull executable. Add a new
src/ifcviewer-minimal target with a MinimalWindow that hosts only the
viewport and reuses the sidecar fast-path for benchmark/debug runs.
