Dion Moult ab99024307 ifcviewer: budget the geometry cache and make required allocations fallible
Loading enough models drove the chunk pool to the driver's refusal point,
after which the first click aborted: the pick attachments are allocated
lazily, wgpu-native reported their OOM as a validation error nobody
observed, and the invalid views reached wgpuQueueSubmit, which panics
across the FFI boundary. Two policy defects compounding: the cache was
allowed to take the last byte, and nothing but the pool's own growth was
treated as fallible.

GPU memory is now two tiers. Required allocations (per-pixel attachments,
a model's metadata buffers, readback staging) are eager, deterministic
and fallible; the chunk pool is an elastic cache that grows only to a
budget and yields whenever a required allocation fails.

- GpuBudget (pure, unit-tested): desktop derives the budget from the
  driver's free-memory report minus a reserve for the attachments at 4K;
  web keeps the wasm-heap cap; either lowers it on pressure. The budget's
  source differs per platform, the mechanism does not.
- GpuAllocScope: the OOM/Validation error-scope dance in one place,
  synchronous on wgpu-native, provisional on Dawn-web. BufferPool's
  inline copy now uses it.
- BufferPool::shrinkToCapacity releases whole sub-buffers newest-first
  after the owner empties them; growth clamps to the budget instead of
  overshooting.
- ViewportCore::allocateRequired runs any required creation under a
  scope and, on failure, lowers the budget, evicts and releases cache
  sub-buffers, waits for the device to reclaim them, and retries until
  it fits or the cache is at its floor. Pick attachments are created with
  the other attachments in configureSurface; render() skips a frame
  rather than submit invalid views; a model whose buffers cannot fit is
  not loaded instead of aborting.

Verified on a 4 GB GeForce: the pool clamps itself at the derived budget
(256+256+67 MB for a 579 MB budget) and, in a standalone check against
the real device, a pool grown to the driver's refusal point observes a
failed required allocation, releases 320 MB and succeeds on retry.

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.
