Alternative to #8955, for #8951 (23 of 25 ifcmcp tools reach MCP clients
with an empty description because FastMCP reads each wrapper's own
__doc__, and the server.py wrappers had none).
#8955 fixes this by hand-writing a new docstring directly onto each
server.py wrapper. Most of those wrappers are thin passthroughs to
IfcSession methods in core.py, which already had short docstrings, which
themselves mostly delegate to already-documented ifcquery/ifcedit
functions -- so that fix tripled up content across three layers that can
drift out of sync.
This instead enriches the true source (the ifcquery/ifcedit library
functions, useful independently of MCP) and has core.py's IfcSession
methods copy __doc__ from their delegate via a small _use_doc()
decorator, and server.py's tool registration pull description= from the
matching IfcSession method. Methods that aren't pure passthroughs
(session lifecycle, generic API/shape dispatch) keep their own
hand-written docs. Keeps #8955's regression test.

coerce_value assumed value_str was always a CLI string, but ifcmcp
passes JSON-decoded native types (int, None) straight through. Guard
the Union/Optional "none" check so it only calls .lower() on strings,
and handle native None explicitly.
IfcSpace is not a subtype of IfcElement, so quantify.run_quantify()'s
default selector silently skipped all spaces, reporting
elements_quantified: 0 with no error or warning.

These three packages were added to src/ but lacked the Makefile needed
by common.mk to build distribution wheels, and the GitHub Actions
workflow to publish them to PyPI.
Adds make dist / make test / make qa targets and ci-*-pypi.yaml
workflows matching the pattern used by ifcpatch, ifcclash, etc.
Add --format ids to ifcquery to output step IDs suitable for piping into
ifcedit parameters. Add ifcedit foreach to apply an operation to every
element in a query result. Extend clash and relations output so --format ids
extracts all involved element IDs, enabling one-liners like clash detection
piped directly into render.

ifcedit is a new command-line tool for executing ifcopenshell.api mutations from the shell. It wraps the entire API surface — any function callable via ifcopenshell.api can be invoked without writing Python.
Subcommands:
list [module] — list all API modules, or functions within a module
docs <module.function> — full documentation (params, types, descriptions)
run <file> <module.function> [--param value ...] — execute a mutation; overwrites input file by default, or use -o <output> to write elsewhere; --dry-run validates without executing
quantify list — list available QTO rules
quantify run <file> <rule> — run quantity take-off, writing IfcElementQuantity psets back to the file
Parameter coercion: entity references can be passed as step IDs (strings); lists, dicts, booleans, and None are handled automatically.
Usage:
python3 -m ifcedit run model.ifc root.remove_product --product 42
python3 -m ifcedit docs geometry.edit_object_placement
