Add tests for IfcGridAxis fixes

- Add test_create_axis_curve.py with three unit tests: basic
  polyline creation, safe removal of an unshared existing curve,
  and preservation of a shared curve when only one referencing
  axis is updated (regression for the shallow-copy duplication bug)
- Add feature scenario "Export IFC - with duplicate-of-duplicate
  grid axis locations preserved" to project.feature, reproducing
  the case where duplicates of duplicates lost their positions on
  save/reload

+"""Forward-compat AST guards on the batched host-recut entry points.
+
+Two contracts pinned per scanned file/region:
+
+A. Host body recuts route through `tool.Geometry.recut_host`, not directly
+   through `bonsai.core.geometry.switch_representation`. Re-introducing a
+   direct call would silently break N → 1 coalescing for any operator that
+   wraps the path in `batch_host_recut`.
+
+B. Host `update_representation` writes route through
+   `tool.Geometry.update_host_representation`, not directly through
+   `bpy.ops.bim.update_representation`. Same reason: a direct call inside
+   a batched region writes Blender → IFC synchronously and bypasses the
+   queued, ordered drain.
+
+Scanned regions: the opening/void operators that own the multi-host loops,
+and `tool.Model.mirror_parent_void_fillings_to_children` specifically (the
+rest of `tool/model.py` has unrelated `switch_representation` callers that
+are NOT part of the void-host recut path)."""

+"""Tests for the batched array-duplicate path.
+
+`tool.Geometry.duplicate_ifc_object_n_times` lifts the per-call overhead of
+`duplicate_ifc_objects` (snapshot, UI refresh, decorator reload, select
+flips) out of the per-child loop in `_regenerate_array_body`. These tests
+pin three contracts:
+
+1. N-way batched duplicate produces N distinct entities mapped from the
+   source under `old_to_new[source_element]`, and the source object stays
+   selected throughout (no per-iteration deselect).
+2. Per-layer batching collapses the N independent UI refreshes into one.
+3. End-to-end array regen still yields the same number and shape of
+   children as the per-call baseline."""

+The opening/void/array recut paths fan out N host-mesh rebuilds per array of N
+fillings — the CSG opening-subtraction inside ``switch_representation`` is the
+most expensive geometry step in the addon. ``batch_host_recut`` queues
+``recut_host`` + ``update_host_representation`` calls by voided element id and
+drains each unique host once on the outermost exit. These tests pin the
