+# Developer notes (in-progress features)
+
+This directory holds **living design/working notes for unmerged feature branches**,
+one Markdown file per feature, named after its branch (e.g.
+`opening-template-on-type.md`).
+
+## Purpose
+
+A shared scratchpad so collaborators — and the AI agents they work with — can pick up
+the context behind an in-progress branch: the problem, the design decisions and the
+*why*, dead ends already ruled out, and what still needs testing. Because the note is
+committed on the branch, it travels with the PR and shows up in the diff, so it is
+discoverable without anyone being told where to look.
+
+## How to use it (humans and agents)
+
+- **Before working on a feature branch**, read its note here if one exists.
+- **As the PR is refined**, keep the note current — append decisions, correct things
+  that changed, update the test checklist.
+- **One file per feature**, named after the branch.
+
+## Lifecycle
+
+These are *not* permanent user documentation. When a PR merges, either remove its note
+or promote the durable parts (the load-bearing "why") into code comments or the regular
+docs, so stale notes do not accumulate on the default branch.

+## Problem
+
+`bpy.ops.bim.duplicate_type` and `bpy.ops.bim.append_library_element` lose a custom
+`IfcOpeningElement` body (e.g. an `IfcPolygonalFaceSet`/tessellation) and replace it
+with a generated extrusion. Root cause: the only mechanism that preserved a custom
+opening was "copy it from a sibling occurrence of the same type"
+(`get_existing_opening_occurrence_if_any`), which returns nothing for a brand-new
+type. `generate_opening_from_filling` then always builds an extrusion (profile or
+bbox), discarding the custom geometry.
+
+## Key facts established
+
+- IFC-level `root.copy_class` already `copy_deep`s opening representations; the loss
+  happens on the Bonsai side (the `regenerate_from_type` listener on
+  `type.assign_type`, and placement-time generation).
+- Opening occurrences of one type already **share** a single `IfcRepresentationMap`
+  via mapped representations — that is why editing one void edits them all
+  (see `tool.Model.unshare_opening_representation` docstring). Bonsai shares, it does
+  not copy. The shared map just has no durable home (it is hosted implicitly by
+  whichever occurrence exists), so it does not survive to a new type.
+- IFC4 ADD2 TC1 `IfcShapeRepresentation`: identifier **`Reference`** = "3D
+  representation that is **not part of the Body representation** ... used, e.g., for
+  opening geometries ... excluded from an implicit Boolean operation." Schema-valid;
+  `IfcTypeProduct` has no uniqueness rule on `RepresentationMaps` (only
+  `ApplicableOccurrence`). So a `Reference` map can sit beside the `Body` map.
+- The geometry kernel selects an opening's geometry **by context, not by
+  `RepresentationIdentifier`** (`mapping::representation_of`, `ifcgeom/mapping/mapping.cpp`).
+  So a `Reference`-identified opening in the Body context still booleans correctly.
+  Nothing in Bonsai reads `"Reference"` to *skip* applying an opening.
+- Caveat: IFC has no type-level void (`IfcRelVoidsElement` is occurrence-only). The
+  "opening template on type" is therefore a Bonsai convention using a spec-valid
+  identifier; other tools see a harmless extra `Reference` rep they ignore. The
+  regeneration smarts are Bonsai-only by necessity.
+
+## Design
+
+Store the shared opening body on the **type** as a `Reference` representation map.
+Because `bim.duplicate_type` (`tool.Root.copy_representation`) and
+`append_type_product` both copy a type's `RepresentationMaps`, the template survives
+both. Occurrence openings map over the same map, so editing a void rewrites the
+shared map = updates the type template in one stroke (no separate write-back needed).
+
+`map_type_representations` must skip `Reference` maps so the window/door occurrence
+does not receive the opening shape as its own Body (the kernel would otherwise pick
+arbitrarily between the real Body and the opening rep). The skip is both required and
+spec-endorsed ("not part of the Body representation").
+
+### Body-context coexistence (Option A)
+
+The template lives in the **Body** subcontext (required: the instance opening that maps
+over it must resolve in Body context for the geometry kernel to subtract it). So the
+type holds two reps in one context: the `Body` window body and the `Reference` opening
+template. Per IFC, `Reference` is a *RepresentationIdentifier value used within the Body
+context*, not a separate context - so we keep it there and disambiguate elsewhere:
+
+- The representations panel now shows `RepresentationIdentifier` as its own column
+  (`geometry/data.py`, `geometry/ui.py`) so the two Body-context reps are
+  distinguishable (`Model | Body | MODEL_VIEW | Reference | Tessellation`). The panel
+  column previously read "Body" because it shows `ContextOfItems.ContextIdentifier`,
+  not the representation's identifier.
+- `Geometry.reimport_element_representations` type branch now renders the requested
+  `base_representation` instead of `get_representation(element, context)`, which matched
+  only by context and returned the window body when switching to the `Reference` rep.
+  This is what makes "switch to the Reference row" actually show the void on the type.
+
+### Precedence in `generate_opening_from_filling`
+type `Reference` template → (existing sibling occurrence, checked by callers) →
+type `Profile` extrusion → bbox extrusion.
+
+### Type switching (assign_type)
+
+On `type.assign_type` the opening is rebuilt to reflect the **assigned** type's void.
+Two listeners in `model/handler.py`:
+
+- **pre** `Bonsai.Opening.PreserveOnTypeChange` → `preserve_opening_on_type_change`:
+  before the filling moves to the new type, `promote_opening_to_type(old_type)` anchors
+  the old type's custom void as a template, so it isn't lost when (possibly the last)
+  occurrence is regenerated. Idempotent; custom voids only.
+- **post** `Bonsai.Opening.RegenerateFromType` → `regenerate_from_type` →
+  `_regenerate_from_type`: rebuilds from the new type's template / sibling / extrusion.
+  The old PR1 "preserve custom" guard was **removed** here — it kept the previous type's
+  void on a switch (wrong), and the template now makes preservation unnecessary.
+
+NOTE: upstream `v0.8.0` landed `assign_type` changes + new `test_assign_type_*` tests
+(merged under this branch's base). The listeners ride on top of that — re-test the
+switch/edit round-trips against the new `assign_type`.
+
+### Write-back on void edit
+
+Editing an occurrence's void writes the new geometry back to the type's `Reference`
+template via `update_type_template_from_opening` (creates the template if absent), then
+**re-maps every occurrence's opening onto the template** and reloads the affected host walls
+(`switch_representation`) so they re-boolean. The re-map (`_remap_opening_to_template`) is the
+key part: an earlier version only re-pointed a *pre-existing* shared map, so siblings whose
+openings were **independent** (their own `IfcRepresentationMap`, never sharing the template)
+didn't follow — the common real-world case. Now they do. Hooked at both commit paths:
+`UpdateRepresentation._execute` (the `edited_objs` path) and
+`OverrideModeSetObject` after `edit_representation_item` (the in-place item edit). The
+older `edit_openings`/`is_edited` path also calls it. `set_type_opening_representation`
+has replace semantics (one `Reference` map per type).
+
+### Preserving adjusted extrusions (duplicate_type)
+
+`is_opening_representation_custom` only flags *non-extrusion* geometry (tessellation, brep,
+CSG) as worth preserving — a proxy for "not regenerable". That mis-classifies a *manually
+adjusted* extrusion, which is still an `IfcExtrudedAreaSolid`, so a hand-tweaked extrusion
+opening was reset to the default on `duplicate_type`.
+
+`promote_opening_to_type` now gates on `should_preserve_opening` = custom **or**
+`_is_adjusted_extrusion`. The latter generates the default (`generate_opening_from_filling`,
+which yields the default since no template exists at promote time) *transiently*, compares the
+two bodies' axis-aligned bounding boxes (1 mm tolerance) via the geom engine, then removes the
+temporary default. Divergence ⇒ the extrusion was adjusted ⇒ promote it; a plain default
+matches ⇒ left regenerable (not frozen — see the "freeze" discussion). Scoped to the duplicate
+path so the generate-and-compare stays out of the hot predicate. Limitation: bbox comparison
+misses a shape change that preserves the bbox (upgrade to a vertex-set compare if needed).
+
+## Status — implemented (manually verified in Blender)
+
+- core `map_type_representations.py`: skip `Reference` maps.
+- `model/opening.py`: `get_/set_type_opening_representation`, `promote_opening_to_type`,
+  `update_type_template_from_opening` (+ `_remap_opening_to_template`),
+  `preserve_opening_on_type_change`, `should_preserve_opening` (+ `_is_adjusted_extrusion`,
+  `_representation_bbox`); `generate_opening_from_filling` consults the template; PR1 guard
+  removed from `_regenerate_from_type`.
+- `model/handler.py`: pre + post assign_type listeners.
+- `type/operator.py` `DuplicateType`: promote before copy.
+- `project/operator.py` `AppendLibraryElement`: `harvest_opening_template`.
+- `geometry/operator.py`: write-back hooks in `UpdateRepresentation` and
+  `OverrideModeSetObject`; `reimport_element_representations` renders the requested rep.
+- `geometry/data.py` + `geometry/ui.py`: `RepresentationIdentifier` column + headers.
+
+Branch `opening-template-on-type` (#8200): initial feature commit + the #7916 build-conflict
+ancestry-merge + void-propagation-to-all-occurrences + adjusted-extrusion preservation. The
+`docs/dev-notes/` convention itself lives on the stacked branch `dev-notes-system` (#8201).
+
+Still **deferred:** explicit "Apply/Reset to type" operators + a "diverges from type"
+indicator; import never auto-writes back. `update_simple_openings` still keeps its
+`is_opening_representation_custom` guard (array propagation, same type — left as-is).
+
+## Things to test / verify
+
+- Duplicated/appended type's new occurrence gets the faceset void and it **cuts** the
+  wall (kernel selects opening geom by context, so a `Reference`-id rep still booleans).
+- `harvest_opening_template` cross-file `file.add`: no duplicate
+  `IfcGeometricRepresentationContext` left behind; units (kernel doesn't rescale rep
+  coords — same assumption as `append_asset`).
+- Switch X→Y→X round-trip restores each type's void; switching to a plain (template-less)
+  type gives its default extrusion, not the previous faceset.
+- Edit a void → type's `Reference` row updates; **all** occurrences follow (including ones
+  that had independent openings) and their host walls re-boolean; survives duplicate.
+- `duplicate_type` on a type whose extrusion opening was **manually adjusted** → Type B keeps
+  the adjusted extrusion; a type with a plain/default extrusion stays regenerable (not frozen).
+- Three write-back hooks are intentional (different commit paths) — candidate for
+  consolidation in review.
+- Re-test against upstream's new `assign_type` (see NOTE under "Type switching").

+
+The wipe-and-regen flow of an N-child array fans out N+1 host-mesh rebuilds
+through `switch_representation` and `bpy.ops.bim.update_representation`.
+Wrapping each parametric / array operator's body in
+`tool.Geometry.batch_host_recut` collapses those to one per unique host.
+
+These tests pin the wrap-points by patching `batch_host_recut` as a spy and

+on call counts is pinned at the helper-unit lane and the structural
+contract is pinned by a forward-compat AST guard."""

+Two contracts pinned per scanned file/region:

+A. Host body recuts route through `tool.Geometry.recut_host`, not directly

+"""Forward-compat AST contract for viewport decorator lifecycle.
+
+Any class that tracks Blender draw handlers via a class-level ``handlers``
+list MUST subclass ``tool.Blender.ViewportDecorator``. The base sets
+``handlers = []`` and ``is_installed = False`` via ``__init_subclass__`` and
+provides install / uninstall with the correct ``cls.handlers.clear()``.
+A class that declares its own ``handlers = []`` outside the base duplicates
+the lifecycle and is at risk of regressing the handler-clear bug class."""
