+"""Generic face-quad resize gizmos for any axis-aligned local box.
+
+This module contains the box-agnostic core of the interactive
+face-resize gizmos: two Gizmo classes (a near-invisible click target
+welded to each face, and a thin colored edge outline), a per-redraw
+orchestrator that places six of each on a box, and the pure one-sided
+resize arithmetic. None of it knows about IFC, clip boxes, or
+``BIMSceneClipBoxProperties`` — a future camera-view-box adapter can
+reuse the same classes and helpers.
+
+Consumer contract — the adapter group must:
+
+1. Create six ``BIM_GT_box_face_quad`` and six ``BIM_GT_box_face_outline``
+   instances at ``setup()`` time, in :data:`FACE_ROUTES` order, and bind
+   each quad's ``move_get_cb`` / ``move_set_cb`` to closures that read
+   and mutate the box's host (e.g. an Empty's ``location`` / ``scale``).
+2. Call :func:`apply_face_quad_layout` from ``refresh()`` /
+   ``draw_prepare()`` with the box's local-frame ``bmin`` / ``bmax``,
+   the host's ``matrix_world``, the OBB rotation as a 4x4
+   (``Matrix.Identity(4)`` when the rotation rides in ``matrix_world``),
+   and the current ``region`` / ``rv3d``.
+3. Implement ``_lock_for(active_gz)`` / ``_unlock_all()`` on the group
+   for drag mutual exclusion; the quad's ``invoke`` / ``exit`` call them.
+
+The resize arithmetic in :func:`compute_face_resize` is pure: feed it
+the modal scalar plus drag-start snapshots and it returns the host's
+new scale-on-axis and new origin location.

+"""Shared helpers for Bonsai's parametric preview flows.
+
+Multiple Bonsai features follow the same Scene-level preview pattern:
+
+    Enable<X>Preview   — validates a selection, populates draft state on
+                         ``Scene.BIMPreviewProperties.<x>``, flips ``is_active``.
+    Gizmo<X>Preview    — polls on ``is_active``, surfaces tunable widgets +
+                         validate/cancel icons.
+    <X>PreviewDecorator — GPU lines drawn while ``is_active`` is True.
+    Finish<X>Preview   — direct ``bpy.ops.bim.<verb>(...)`` call with kwargs
+                         read off the draft state, then clears it.
+    Cancel<X>Preview   — pure state reset.
+
+The MEP bend and wall fillet flows are the two current callers. They write
+their Finish / Cancel operators directly, matching the convention used
+throughout the rest of ``bim/module/model/`` for operator-to-operator
+dispatch (explicit ``bpy.ops.bim.X(kwarg=value)`` at the call site, no
+string indirection). This module hosts the cross-cutting accessors only;
+no base class layer.
+
+The GPU draw-handler lifecycle for ``<X>PreviewDecorator`` lives on the
+feature-neutral ``tool.Blender.ViewportDecorator`` base, which every
+viewport decorator (preview or otherwise) inherits from."""

+"""Four wall-offset dimension gizmos (left / right / top / bottom) shared by door and
+window edit gizmo groups — both fillings sit in a LAYER2 wall and the offset math is
+identical.
+
+The compute side returns a *signed* value on the X axis (negative when the filling
+is 180°-flipped onto the wall's opposite face) so the gizmo framework auto-flips
+the rendered arrow; the apply side takes ``abs(value)`` because the user-facing
+offset is always positive. Z-axis values are unsigned in both directions.
+
+Fillings are assumed to align with the wall's local X axis to within ±90° — the
+parametric door/window construction path enforces this, and the X-sign math
+falls back to +1 if ``col[0].x`` lands on the ambiguous zero (filling rotated
+exactly 90° in the wall plane).
+
+Every public entry point falls back to a safe no-op when the host-wall chain
+cannot be resolved: reads return 0.0, writes do nothing, and gizmo anchors
+return a filling-relative position. This keeps the gizmos non-crashing when a
+filling momentarily loses its host (e.g. mid-edit, partially-loaded files).
+
+``_GEOM_CACHE`` is module-scoped and persists across tests — tests must call
+``clear_caches()`` between cases."""

+"""Shared operator mixins for parametric-edit operators.
+
+Edit-lifecycle mixins (Enable / Finish / Cancel):
+    `FeatureModifierEditMixin` — door, window (BBIM_<Type> pset; nested
+        lining/panel properties; Finish + Cancel route through
+        ``ifcopenshell.api.feature``).
+    `PathPreservingEditMixin` — railing, roof (path_data preserved across
+        edit; only general kwargs are user-editable).
+
+Pattern selection (which approach a new feature should adopt):
+    Every parametric edit lifecycle commits to one of three patterns. Pick by
+    answering "does the feature share the Enable→Finish→Cancel shape that
+    one of the existing mixins already encodes?":
+
+    A. Inherit one of the shared mixins below and route through
+       `tool.Parametric.build_edit_lifecycle`:
+
+       - `FeatureModifierEditMixin` when the feature stores its pset as
+         `{general fields} + {lining_properties: {...}} + {panel_properties: {...}}`
+         and Finish must call a per-type `update_<type>_modifier_representation`.
+
+       - `PathPreservingEditMixin` when the feature's pset carries a
+         `path_data` field that survives general-kwarg edits untouched, with
+         a separate Enable/Finish/Cancel lifecycle for path editing itself.
+
+    B. Write a per-feature mixin that subclasses `ParametricEditMixinBase`
+       and provides `_enable_targets` / `_finish_targets` / `_cancel_targets`,
+       then route through `build_edit_lifecycle`. Pick this when the
+       feature's pset roundtrip or representation handling diverges from the
+       shared mixins but the Enable→Finish→Cancel shape still fits.
+
+    C. Declare standalone Enable/Finish/Cancel Operator subclasses (no
+       factory) when the feature's parameter-change logic is sufficiently
+       unique that even a per-feature mixin would force optional hooks or
+       dead branches. Such operators MUST call the matrix_world drift
+       helpers (`tool.Geometry.commit_placement_if_moved` on Enable/Finish,
+       `tool.Geometry.restore_or_rebaseline_placement` on Cancel) — the
+       drift contract is enforced uniformly regardless of which pattern the
+       operators adopt.
+
+    The authoritative list of registered parametric types — and which use
+    `build_edit_lifecycle` vs. standalone operators — lives in
+    `tool/parametric.py`'s `EDIT_TYPES` and is enforced by the registry
+    contract tests.
+
+This module hosts operator-side mixins that import ``bonsai.tool`` freely.
+The lightweight parametric registry consumed at addon-enable time must stay
+free of such imports and lives separately in ``tool/parametric.py``."""

+        ``_iter_targets(context)``: list of objects to act on (default: ``[active_object]``)
+
+    Drift handling is built in: pre-edit matrix_world drift commits to IFC on
+    Enable, in-edit drag commits on Finish, and Cancel restores the committed
+    IFC placement. This prevents an uncommitted drag from disappearing on
+    Finish or snapping back on Cancel.

+"""Shared post-disconnect cleanup dispatch.
+
+Used by both ``bim.disconnect_elements`` (explicit user disconnect) and the
+connection cascade in ``tool.Geometry.delete_ifc_object`` (implicit
+disconnect-on-delete). Each kind returned by
+:py:meth:`bonsai.tool.connection.Connection.find_rels` /
+:py:meth:`find_rels_for_element` maps to a single arm here, so adding a new
+kind means extending one dispatch table — both call sites benefit
+automatically and the AST forward-compat guard enforces coverage.
+
+The ``subject`` parameter is the entity whose teardown effects the
+disconnect: for ``"path"`` / ``"element"`` / ``"element-top"`` kinds it
+carries an ``IfcRel*`` relationship entity (the rel that gets removed);
+for ``"mep-pair-fitting"`` it carries an ``IfcFlowFitting`` (the fitting
+that gets deleted). The slot is uniform on intent — the dispatch decides
+the teardown mechanism by kind.

+"""Generic discovery of the connection linking two IFC elements.
+
+Used by ``bim.disconnect_elements`` so the operator surface is one operator
+per disconnect intent (active vs. partner, identified by GlobalId) rather
+than one per rel class. Each lookup returns ``(subject, kind)`` tuples where
+``subject`` is the entity whose teardown effects the disconnect:
+
+- ``"path"`` — ``IfcRelConnectsPathElements`` (wall-wall, wall-roof, etc.).
+  ``subject`` is the rel; removing it disconnects.
+- ``"element-top"`` — ``IfcRelConnectsElements`` with ``Description=="TOP"``
+  (created by ``extend_walls_to_underside``). ``subject`` is the rel.
+- ``"element"`` — any other ``IfcRelConnectsElements``. ``subject`` is the rel.
+- ``"mep-pair-fitting"`` — two MEP elements joined via ``IfcRelConnectsPorts``
+  through a single bridging ``IfcFlowFitting``. ``subject`` is the fitting
+  itself; removing it disconnects. ``OBSTRUCTION`` fittings are excluded
+  here; those go through ``bim.mep_add_obstruction(mode=REMOVE)``.
+
+Add new kinds by extending :py:meth:`Connection.find_rels`. The dispatch in
+``bonsai.core.connection.disconnect_rel`` maps each kind to the right
+post-mutation cleanup; the AST forward-compat guard enforces coverage."""

+"""Registry and save-time auto-commit for parametric draft edits.
+
+The registry is consumed along two orthogonal axes:
+
+- **Predicate axis**: every entry carries an ``is_<name>`` total predicate. Used
+  by ``find_for_element``, save-flow auto-commit, and per-feature gizmo polls.
+- **Lifecycle axis**: a subset of entries flagged ``supports_build_edit_lifecycle=True``
+  share the ``Enable/Finish/CancelEditing<Type>`` operator shape and are wired
+  through ``build_edit_lifecycle``. The remainder declare their edit operators
+  directly because their lifecycle (per-attribute diff dispatch, layer-stack
+  editing, mid-spline gizmo drag, …) does not fit the shared mixin contract.
+
+Adding a new parametric element type is a single entry in ``EDIT_TYPES``;
+flag ``supports_build_edit_lifecycle`` only if the type's edit lifecycle matches
+one of the shared mixins in ``bim/parametric_lifecycle.py``."""
