Dion Moult 0b8c787ac0 ifcviewer: v16 zstd-compressed sidecars (~10x smaller over the wire)
The .ifcview data is hugely redundant (repeated double instance matrices,
patterned indices) — measured 12x zstd whole-file. Server Content-Encoding
can't be used (it breaks HTTP Range), so compress PER-CHUNK into the format.

Format (v16): geometry becomes per-chunk zstd(vertices)+zstd(indices) frames —
each independently Range-fetchable, so streaming is intact — and the critical +
deferred metadata blocks are single zstd frames. SidecarChunk carries the
compressed blob offsets/sizes; applyStreamedChunk (render/upload) is UNCHANGED —
decompression slots into the fetch. Full readSidecar (test/tooling) reconstructs
by decompress+scatter. zstd: desktop links libzstd (also compresses at bake);
the web build (Emscripten has no zstd port) FetchContent's the pinned zstd
source and compiles its decompress-only subset for wasm — no vendored blob,
same version as desktop. New SidecarCompress wraps it (compress guarded off
under Emscripten). Both stream paths — desktop StreamingThread worker + sync
fallback (readChunkGeometryCompressed) and web beginWebChunkLoad — decompress;
readSidecarMetadataOnly / the web bootstrap / loadDeferredMetadataWeb decompress
the metadata blocks. streamingByteProgress reports COMPRESSED bytes. MEASURED: a
752 MB v15 federation → 75 MB v16 (10x; per-file 6.7-15.3x); PP-PLP 118→15 MB,
loads 13/13 chunks on web, 0 errors.

Three fixes found while testing big federations on a real server:
- Web-streamed race: streaming_from_web was set in the deferred-header callback
  (a round-trip after the model+chunks exist), so driveStreamingLoads could take
  the sync fopen path meanwhile → "failed to read/decompress chunk 0". Now set
  immediately after applyCachedModel.
- OOM abort on 18 models: the pool grew unbounded until an alloc failed, but on
  web that's an uncatchable bad_alloc abort. Cap total pool capacity
  (setMaxTotalCapacity, 3 GB) so it stops before the heap ceiling, and raise
  MAXIMUM_MEMORY 2→4 GB (wasm32 max) for headroom.
- Web never evicted (grow-or-block only). At the hard budget, fall through to the
  LRU/priority evictor so a big federation stays navigable (highest-contribution
  chunks win) instead of freezing with holes.

113/113 desktop + 6/6 web smoke pass. No back-compat: regenerate sidecars
(desktop bakes v16; scratch conv tool migrates v15→v16).

Dion Moult 41a85a70ba 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.

Dion Moult e1be2f208c ifcviewer: v14 chunk-contiguous sidecar + progressive network streaming
Makes large-model streaming over a network actually good — fixing read
amplification, then first-paint latency — building on the byte-range work.

v14 layout + TOC (SidecarLayout, pure + unit-tested)
  The loader chunks meshes by spatial Morton order, but the sidecar stored
  geometry in mesh-id order, so a chunk's meshes were scattered through the
  file: streaming one chunk meant either hundreds of tiny range requests or
  reading (and discarding) everything between them — a 113 MB model fetched
  ~340 MB, a 531 MB model 2.25 GB (4.2x). Fix: at bake, reorder meshes into
  the loader's chunk order and rebuild vertex/index(LOD0+LOD1)/instance
  sections so each chunk is one CONTIGUOUS byte range, and bake a chunk TOC
  ({first_mesh, mesh_count}). The loader builds chunks straight from the TOC
  rather than re-deriving the plan — the float Morton quantisation isn't
  bit-identical across toolchains (x86 baker vs wasm loader), so a re-derived
  plan scatters the chunks. Format bumped to v14 (regenerate sidecars). The
  reorder buckets instances by per-instance mesh_id (the baker never sets
  MeshInfo.first_instance — trusting it scrambled every transform → geometry
  at the origin). Multiset-verified on a 28,900-instance model: every
  instance's placement + geometry preserved. Result: 531 MB fetches 531 MB
  (1.0x) in 72 requests (was 2036).

Progressive streaming (concurrency cap + small chunks)
  Even at 1x, geometry appeared only after ~the whole model arrived: the
  browser multiplexes every in-flight Range request over one HTTP/2 conn, so
  unbounded concurrency (9 in flight) split the bandwidth and nothing finished
  until the end (measured: first paint after 113 of 118 MB / 35 s @ 24 Mbps).
  Cap concurrent chunk loads (kMaxWebInflightChunks=2): the priority-sorted
  top chunks finish and paint first, then the next → first paint 9 s. Chunk
  size dropped 16->4 MB (cheap now that each chunk is one read; matches Cesium
  3D Tiles / xeokit / SVF2) for smoother progression. First-paint is now
  metadata-bound (~10 MB tail) — the next lever.

111/111 unit (new test_sidecar_layout: geometry preserved, contiguous layout,
Morton-identity) + 6/6 web smoke pass; desktop bake (SceneLoader) reorders
before writeSidecar; embedded web sample regenerated to v14.

Dion Moult a0ba3c0b98 ifcviewer: extract pure buffer-based sidecar parse + read-plan helpers
Splits the v13 metadata wire-format knowledge out of the FILE*-bound
streaming reader into pure, buffer-based functions so the web byte-range
path (#88) can reuse it without loading the whole sidecar into the wasm
heap:

  - parseSidecarHead  — validates the 16-byte head, yields num_vertex_bytes
  - parseSidecarTail  — parses meshes/instances/georef/elements/strings
                        from an in-memory tail buffer, bounds-checked
  - planSidecarReadRanges + SidecarReadPlan — the range-coalescing /
    scatter planner, promoted out of the anonymous namespace

readSidecarMetadataOnly and the range readers now call these; desktop
behaviour is unchanged (head + tail are small, the bulk is still skipped
via seek). The metadata tail is split from the head around the bulk
sections, so a blob-backed loader just slices those two regions and
hands the bytes to the same parsers.

Closes a coverage gap: StreamingLoader had no unit tests. Adds
test_streaming_loader.cpp (7 cases: metadata round-trip, corrupt/truncated
rejection, vertex+index range scatter, head validation, tail truncation,
read-plan coalescing). 107/107 unit tests pass.

Dion Moult 8ab5c31e75 refactor: merge ifcviewer-wgpu into ifcviewer, drop Wgpu prefix
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.
