Bonsai: normalize occurrence-local representations onto the type

Adds tooling to surface and normalize representations that live on an occurrence but not its type, aligning with the convention that typed occurrences share the type's representations (per maintainer feedback on #8788). - Promote to Type (bim.promote_representation_to_type): slot-based, "type wins". Copies the promoted rep onto the type as a RepresentationMap, then for every occurrence of the type removes ANY existing rep in the same slot -- context (context/subcontext/target view) + RepresentationIdentifier + resolved RepresentationType -- and assigns the type's mapped rep in its place; occurrences with none inherit it. Covers both local reps and reps inherited from a floating IfcRepresentationMap not anchored to the type (Revit exports), so no duplicate is left; removes the type's existing slot map first so promoting is idempotent. Geometry is not compared, so independently-meshed / mirrored / rotated instances are consolidated too. Adds tool.Geometry copy_representation_deep and add_type_representation_map. - Representations panel: group rows under Type (mapped/inherited) vs Occurrence (local) headers so occurrence-local reps are surfaced. Adds is_mapped / element_is_type / element_has_type to RepresentationsData; drops the old "*" suffix. Copy and add-representation behaviour is unchanged from base. Design note at docs/dev-notes/occurrence-representations.md. Issue: #8788 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

+## In-Progress Feature Notes
+
+Living design and working notes for unmerged feature branches live in
+[`docs/dev-notes/`](docs/dev-notes/), one Markdown file per feature, named after the
+branch. They capture the problem, the design decisions and the *why*, and what still
+needs testing — so collaborators (and their AI agents) can pick up the context behind a
+branch. Because the note is committed on the branch, it travels with the PR.
+
+- Before working on a feature branch, read its note in `docs/dev-notes/` if one exists.
+- Keep the note current as the PR is refined.
+- These are not user documentation; at merge they are removed or their durable parts
+  promoted to code comments / permanent docs.
+
+See [`docs/dev-notes/README.md`](docs/dev-notes/README.md) for details.

+# 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.

+the closed PR #8789 (see "History / pivot"). Stacked on `dev-notes-system` (#8201) →
+`opening-template-on-type` (#8200) → `select-by-representation-type` (#7916), because it shares
+the Representations panel and `RepresentationsData`.
+
+## Position (maintainer-aligned)
+
+Per Dion Moult (project lead), **if a type has representations, its occurrences should share
+them** — an occurrence carrying a representation the type lacks is an *anomaly to normalize up
+to the type*, not something to preserve. This follows the MVD concept-template intent (mapped
+representations mirror the type relationship) and the `IfcTypeProduct` text that typed
+occurrences "have to reference the representation maps", even though EXPRESS has no WHERE rule
+enforcing it. See the buildingSMART thread Moult started:
+<https://forums.buildingsmart.org/t/must-mappedrepresentations-come-from-the-corresponding-ifc-type/3361>.
+
+This branch therefore provides the **normalization path**, and deliberately does *not* try to
+make occurrence-local reps a first-class, persisted thing.
+
+## Scope
+
+**In:**
+
+1. **Promote to Type** (`bim.promote_representation_to_type`) — lift an occurrence-local rep
+   onto its type as a `RepresentationMap`, so occurrences inherit it. The migration tool for
+   imported/legacy models (Revit et al. emit occurrence-only / partial-from-type reps).
+2. **Type / Occurrence panel split** — `BIM_PT_representations` groups rows under **Type**
+   (mapped/inherited) vs **Occurrence** (local) headers, so an anomalous occurrence-local rep
+   is *surfaced* instead of silent.
+
+**Deliberately out (dropped from the earlier draft):**
+
+- **Copy-time preservation** — `copy_class` is left as-is (occurrence-only reps are not
+  re-added on duplicate). Preserving them perpetuates the anomaly; normalize first, then copy.
+- **"Add to Occurrence" toggle** — removed. `add_representation` keeps stock behaviour
+  (`geometry.assign_representation` already redirects a new rep onto the type when the type has
+  maps). No force-local override.
+
+## Design
+
+### Promote to Type (slot-based, "type wins")
+
+`bim.promote_representation_to_type` (`EXPORT` icon on Occurrence rows, only when
+`element_has_type`) → `core.geometry.promote_representation_to_type`. Copies the promoted rep
+onto the type as a new `RepresentationMap` (`tool.Geometry.add_type_representation_map`), then for
+**every** occurrence of the type: removes **any** existing rep in the same **slot** and assigns
+the type's mapped rep in its place. Occurrences with no rep in the slot simply inherit it.
+
+"Any existing rep" is the load-bearing part: it covers a **local** (non-mapped) rep *and* an
+already-**mapped** rep the occurrence inherited from another map — e.g. a floating
+`IfcRepresentationMap` not anchored to the type, which Revit emits (each occurrence maps to its
+own or a shared floating map, the type's `RepresentationMaps` is empty). Local reps are removed
+via `core.remove_representation` (Blender-aware); mapped reps via a per-occurrence
+`geometry.unassign_representation` + `geometry.remove_representation` (its `remove_deep2` keeps a
+shared map alive until its last user is gone, so floating maps get garbage-collected). If the
+type already holds a rep in the slot it is removed too, so promoting is idempotent (replaces
+rather than accumulating maps). The slot key resolves through mapped items
+(`resolve_mapped_representation`), because an inherited rep's own `RepresentationType` is
+`"MappedRepresentation"`, not the underlying type.
+
+The slot key is context (context/subcontext/target view) + `RepresentationIdentifier` +
+resolved `RepresentationType`. **Geometry is not compared** — the type's representation replaces the
+occurrence's for that slot even when the occurrence's geometry genuinely differs (e.g. an
+independently meshed / mirrored / rotated Revit instance), so such occurrences visibly adopt the
+type's geometry. The mapped rep uses `map_representation`'s identity transform, so a divergent
+instance takes the type geometry at *its own placement* (baked per-instance mesh orientation is
+lost — the accepted tradeoff of "type wins").
+
+Rationale for dropping the earlier geometry comparison: for Revit-style imports each occurrence
+carries an independently tessellated body (same vertex count but reordered + reoriented; no
+single affine maps one to another, confirmed via a least-squares fit — `max_err ≈ 1.3 m`), so an
+"only consolidate byte-identical" rule left most real-world duplicates unconsolidated. Slot-based
+replace is the deliberate, user-chosen behaviour.
+
+### Panel split
+
+`RepresentationsData` (geometry/data.py) exposes `is_mapped`
+(`resolve_representation(rep) != rep`), `element_is_type`, and `element_has_type`.
+`draw_representation_row` is shared and carries the stack's `RepresentationIdentifier` column +
+`select_by_representation_type` button; the Occurrence-group rows additionally show the promote
+button. A type element shows a flat list.
+
+## The divergent-occurrence case (decision made)
+
+Two occurrences of one type that carry **different** geometry in the same slot cannot both live
+on the type (one mapped rep per slot). The chosen resolution is **"type wins"**: promote
+replaces every occurrence's local rep in that slot with the type's, discarding divergent
+per-instance geometry. This favours a single authoritative type geometry over preserving
+independently-authored instance bodies. (Intrinsic per-instance geometry — voids/joins;
+`IfcRelVoidsElement` is occurrence-only — lives in a *different* mechanism and is unaffected.)
+The broader "can occurrences ever legitimately diverge" question is still worth raising with
+Moult on #8788, but Promote no longer tries to adjudicate it.
+
+## Status — implemented (verified in live Blender)
+
+- `tool/geometry.py`: `copy_representation_deep`, `add_type_representation_map`.
+- `core/geometry.py`: `promote_representation_to_type` (slot-based).
+- `core/tool.py`: interface decls for the two new `Geometry` methods.
+- `bim/module/geometry/operator.py`: `PromoteRepresentationToType`.
+- `bim/module/geometry/{data,ui}.py`: `is_mapped` / `element_is_type` / `element_has_type`;
+  Type/Occurrence grouping merged with the stack's panel columns; old `*` suffix removed.
+- `bim/module/geometry/__init__.py`: register `PromoteRepresentationToType`.
+- `core/root.py`, `tool/root.py`, `core/geometry.py::add_representation`: reverted to base
+  (copy-preservation + add-to-occurrence removed).
+
+## History / pivot
+
+Originally four pieces incl. a `copy_class` fix that re-added occurrence-only reps on duplicate,
+and an "Add to Occurrence" toggle. PR #8789 was closed by Moult as "based on the wrong premise
+— there shouldn't be representations on occurrence and not on type if the type has
+representations." Re-scoped to the normalization-only subset above; copy-preservation and the
+toggle removed.
+
+## Things to test / verify
+
+- Promote (verified on a Revit sink type, 5 occurrences): every occurrence ends up referencing
+  the type's mapped rep — occurrences with a local body in the slot have it replaced (including
+  independently-meshed/mirrored ones, which visibly adopt the type geometry), and occurrences
+  with none inherit it. Exercises `remove_representation`'s Blender mesh/data-link side effects.
+- Promoting a second slot (e.g. Body/PLAN_VIEW/Curve3D) adds a second `RepresentationMap` and all
+  occurrences inherit both.
+- Re-open the saved IFC and confirm the mapped instances render sensibly (the divergent ones will
+  have changed orientation — that's the accepted "type wins" tradeoff, not a bug).
+- Panel: Type vs Occurrence grouping correct for occurrence, typed occurrence with no local
+  reps (only Type header), typeless element (only Occurrence), and a type element (flat list);
+  columns still align with the stack's header row.
+- Confirm copy/add behave as stock v0.8.0 (no regression from the removed pieces).

+
+## 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").

+"""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.

+"""Bend-preview lifecycle for MEP segment joins.
+
+Holds the four lifecycle operators (Enable / Finish / Cancel /
+EnableFromBend) and the ``GizmoBendPreview`` group that surfaces the
+tunable dimensions and validate/cancel icons during preview. Draft state
+lives at ``Scene.BIMPreviewProperties.bend`` per CLAUDE.md §2.9 (Scene
+for cross-element previews).
+
+The geometry math (``compute_bend_preview_polylines``,
+``_bend_profile_cross_section``, ``_sweep_profile_along_polyline``)
+stays in ``mep.py`` because the commit operator ``MEPAddBend`` reuses
+it; this module imports the polyline helper for per-frame gizmo
+positioning. The GPU lines themselves are drawn by
+``decorator.BendPreviewDecorator``, kept in ``decorator.py`` with its
+sibling decorators."""

+"""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."""
