Fix three issues in generate_space: 1. Z location drift: z was derived from the Blender bounding box, which changes after every regeneration. Use active_obj.location.z instead. 2. Cache invalidation for moved roofs/slabs: commit placements for HEIGHT_DETECTION_CLASSES in addition to BOUNDING_CLASSES so the geometry cache reflects recent moves. 3. Non-deterministic regeneration: the old Body representation was still present in the IFC file when get_space_volume_strategy built the geometry tree, so ray hits from get_vertical_bounding_planes hit the space's own body. Since each regeneration produced a different Body (BooleanClippingResult/FacetedBrep), the strategy alternated between EXTRUDE_CLIP and BREP. Remove all Body representations before strategy detection so the tree only contains bounding elements. Also clean up stale IfcRelSpaceBoundary relationships before each regeneration to prevent old boundary references from contaminating subsequent runs. Remove ALL existing Body representations (not just the first one found) to prevent duplicate half-space clipping chains. Add regression tests including a 5-iteration stability check.

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.
