Dion Moult 0b8c787ac0 ifcviewer: v16 zstd-compressed sidecars (~10x smaller over the wire)
The .ifcview data is hugely redundant (repeated double instance matrices,
patterned indices) — measured 12x zstd whole-file. Server Content-Encoding
can't be used (it breaks HTTP Range), so compress PER-CHUNK into the format.

Format (v16): geometry becomes per-chunk zstd(vertices)+zstd(indices) frames —
each independently Range-fetchable, so streaming is intact — and the critical +
deferred metadata blocks are single zstd frames. SidecarChunk carries the
compressed blob offsets/sizes; applyStreamedChunk (render/upload) is UNCHANGED —
decompression slots into the fetch. Full readSidecar (test/tooling) reconstructs
by decompress+scatter. zstd: desktop links libzstd (also compresses at bake);
the web build (Emscripten has no zstd port) FetchContent's the pinned zstd
source and compiles its decompress-only subset for wasm — no vendored blob,
same version as desktop. New SidecarCompress wraps it (compress guarded off
under Emscripten). Both stream paths — desktop StreamingThread worker + sync
fallback (readChunkGeometryCompressed) and web beginWebChunkLoad — decompress;
readSidecarMetadataOnly / the web bootstrap / loadDeferredMetadataWeb decompress
the metadata blocks. streamingByteProgress reports COMPRESSED bytes. MEASURED: a
752 MB v15 federation → 75 MB v16 (10x; per-file 6.7-15.3x); PP-PLP 118→15 MB,
loads 13/13 chunks on web, 0 errors.

Three fixes found while testing big federations on a real server:
- Web-streamed race: streaming_from_web was set in the deferred-header callback
  (a round-trip after the model+chunks exist), so driveStreamingLoads could take
  the sync fopen path meanwhile → "failed to read/decompress chunk 0". Now set
  immediately after applyCachedModel.
- OOM abort on 18 models: the pool grew unbounded until an alloc failed, but on
  web that's an uncatchable bad_alloc abort. Cap total pool capacity
  (setMaxTotalCapacity, 3 GB) so it stops before the heap ceiling, and raise
  MAXIMUM_MEMORY 2→4 GB (wasm32 max) for headroom.
- Web never evicted (grow-or-block only). At the hard budget, fall through to the
  LRU/priority evictor so a big federation stays navigable (highest-contribution
  chunks win) instead of freezing with holes.

113/113 desktop + 6/6 web smoke pass. No back-compat: regenerate sidecars
(desktop bakes v16; scratch conv tool migrates v15→v16).

// NOTE: Sidecar format v3 is being rewritten to v4 (instanced geometry layout).
// During the instancing rewrite (Commit A) the cache is a no-op: reads always
// miss and writes always succeed without producing a file. Commit B will
// re-introduce the on-disk format with MeshInfo + InstanceGpu sections.

// v5 = MeshInfo extended with lod1_ebo_byte_offset + lod1_index_count (56 B).
// sd.indices may contain an appended LOD1 index slice for each mesh
// where meshoptimizer decimation produced useful output.
// v6 = VBO vertices quantized to 16 B/vertex (pos u16x3 + normal oct i16x2 +
// color u8x4). Dequant basis is per-mesh MeshInfo.local_aabb_min/max.
// v7 = VBO vertices shrunk to 12 B/vertex (normal oct i8x2 replaces i16x2,
// eliminating 2-byte pad + saving 2 bytes on normal).
// v8 = source_file_size field dropped from header. Sidecar is keyed purely
// on path stem (foo.ifc and foo.ifcdb/ both map to foo.ifcview) so the
// same cache serves either source format. Staleness is user-managed
// (delete the sidecar to force a rebuild).
// v9 = unused `reserved` field dropped from header (16 B -> 12 B).
// v10 = InstanceCpu gains placement_transformation[16] alongside transform[16]
// — record grew from 104 B to 168 B. placement_transformation is the
// raw streamer output; transform is the composed FederatedFalseOrigin ·
// ModelTransformation · CoordinateOperation · placement_transformation
// result. Sidecar serialises both; on load the transform is recomputed
// from placement_transformation + the ViewportWindow's current stage
// matrices, so v10 sidecars are reusable across .ifcfeds.
// v11 = SidecarData gains a per-model CoordinateOperation cache:
// coordinate_operation_meters[16] (column-major), unit scales, and a
// has_coordinate_operation flag. Lets sidecar-loaded models apply
// georef without re-parsing the IFC source. Edits to the IFC's
// IfcMapConversion do NOT invalidate the sidecar — delete the
// .ifcview manually if you change the source's georef parameters.
// v12 = InstanceCpu::placement_transformation is double[16], and
// InstanceChunk carries the streamer placement as double[16]. This keeps
// large IFC placements exact until CoordinateOperation / FederatedFalseOrigin
// composition has reduced them to viewport-local float-sized values.
// v13 = Map unit scale in cached ModelGeoref is derived from
// IfcMapConversion.Scale, not IfcProjectedCRS.MapUnit.
// v14 = Geometry is laid out in streaming-chunk order (SidecarLayout) and a
// chunk table-of-contents (`chunks`) is appended. The loader builds its
// chunks from the TOC instead of re-deriving the Morton/greedy plan, so
// each chunk is one CONTIGUOUS byte range — fixing network read
// amplification. The plan can't be re-derived at load because the float
// Morton quantisation isn't bit-identical across toolchains (x86 baker vs
// wasm loader), so it must be baked in. No back-compat: v13 sidecars are
// rejected (regenerate them).
// v15 = The post-index metadata is split into a render-CRITICAL block (meshes,
// instances, georef, chunk TOC) followed by a DEFERRED block (elements +
// string_table — the IFC element tree, used for UI/picking, never for
// rendering), with the critical block's byte length written just after
// the index section. The web loader reads only the critical block before
// painting, so first geometry no longer waits on the property data; the
// deferred block is fetched lazily (or skipped where unused). Desktop
// reads both. No back-compat: regenerate sidecars.
// v16 = Geometry + metadata are zstd-COMPRESSED. Each chunk's vertex bytes and
// index bytes are stored as two independent zstd frames (so per-chunk
// Range streaming still works — you fetch + decompress just one chunk),
// and the critical + deferred metadata blocks are single zstd frames.
// The chunk TOC records each chunk's compressed blob offsets/sizes plus
// the raw (decompressed) sizes. ~3-5x fewer bytes over the wire while
// keeping HTTP Range intact (unlike server Content-Encoding). No
// back-compat: regenerate sidecars.
