Adds three knobs and three new heartbeat numbers to support the ongoing perf-parity work. None affect behaviour in default runs. cull[wall|compute|upload] split timer The existing cull_timer wrapped both the parallel std::async dispatch and the sequential cullModelCpuUpload loop (queueWriteBuffer × 3 per resident chunk × ~120 chunks ≈ 360 wgpu calls per frame). Splitting them ruled upload out as the bottleneck on a 51-model federation scene: compute ≈ 16-17 ms, upload ≈ 1 ms. WGPU_CULL_THREADS=0 — force sequential cull std::async-per-model was already in place; this env var disables it so we can compare wall time vs sequential and confirm parallelism is working. On the federation scene with 52 models: sequential 74 ms vs parallel 17 ms = 4.4× speedup. Confirmed; the 17 ms floor is not a parallelism failure, it's the cost of culling the largest single model (model 43, 114k instances) ÷ no parallelism within that model. WGPU_STREAM_DEBUG=1 — per-frame [stream-debug] log Surfaces cands/enq/drained/ev_lru/ev_pri/blocked/resident/cycled/ max_load each frame from driveStreamingLoads. The "cycled" / "max_load" pair makes thrash vs eviction-churn vs just-loading distinguishable. Off by default; opt-in via the env var. Bench-warm timeout dump When [bench warm] times out (600 frames without 0-loads streak), prints a structured summary: resident/missing/total chunks, cycled count, pool usage, largest free run, avg missing chunk size, and an auto-classifier diagnosis (POOL FRAGMENTED vs WORKING SET > POOL vs FEW-CHUNK CYCLE vs still-loading). Caught a real fragmentation pattern (18 MB largest free run vs ~100 MB typical chunk) on a 51-model run where the dumb classifier would have called it a load-budget problem. LOD1 firing counter "lod1 X/Y (saved Z tris, N no-lod1)" suffix on the [frame] log. X = LOD1-selected this frame, Y = LOD1-eligible, Z = tris not drawn vs always-LOD0, N = visible instances with no baked LOD1 (mesh below IFC_LOD_MIN_TRIS). Confirmed LOD1 path is genuinely firing post the per-chunk LOD1-storage commit, and exposed that ~90% of instances in real scenes are no-lod1 meshes — relevant to the future LOD-tier-residency design. Chunk.load_count + Chunk.lod0/1 layout bookkeeping Per-chunk reload counter for the thrash detector. lod0/1 layout_count fields prep the data model for distance-tiered residency (Phase B of #31) but aren't acted on yet.

IfcOpenShell
IfcOpenShell is an open source (LGPL) software library for working with Industry Foundation Classes (IFC). Complete parsing support is provided for IFC2x3 TC1, IFC4 Add2 TC1, IFC4x1, IFC4x2, and IFC4x3 Add2. Extensive geometric support is implemented for the IFC releases IFC2x3 TC1 and IFC4 Add2 TC1. Extending with support for arbitrary IFC schemas is possible at compile-time when using C++ and at run-time when using Python.
In addition to a C++ and Python API, IfcOpenShell comes with an ecosystem of tools, notably including IfcConvert (an application to convert IFC models to other formats), Bonsai (an add-on to Blender providing a graphical IFC authoring platform), and many other libraries, CLI apps, and more. Support is also provided for auxiliary standards such as BCF and IDS.
