Summary

Native (Rust) merged/federated IFC export at feature parity with the JS MergedExporter, so a webview-embedding consumer can federate models entirely in Rust — read each source from disk, merge, write to disk — without materializing the merge in a webview JS heap. Closes the OOM (Render process gone) class on ~1 GB+ federations, and fixes the correctness hole where the old id-offset-only path emitted duplicate GlobalIds on any real multi-model scene.

Closes #2951 (engine side of the parity work).

Commits

  1. refactor — move the monolithic merged.rs into a merged/ module (no logic change).
  2. feat — the parity work:
    • guid.rs — deterministic 22-char GlobalId minter, byte-identical to the JS deterministicGlobalId (pinned against golden values), rooted-entity denylist, read/replace helpers. Duplicate GlobalIds are now unified (same unit space → refs remapped to the first instance) or re-stamped with a fresh deterministic GlobalId (relationships / federated).
    • spatial.rsIfcSite / IfcBuilding / IfcBuildingStorey matched onto the first model by name / elevation (single / by-name / by-elevation / by-name-then-elevation, ±0.5-unit tolerance).
    • plan.rs — per-model index, visibility forward-reference closure, reference rewriting, redundant-IfcRelAggregates pruning.
    • units.rs — length-scale resolution + compatibility.
    • mod.rs — orchestrator wiring project/infrastructure unification, spatial merge, GlobalId reconciliation, per-model visibility, and unit handling into a new export_merged_models entry point; extended MergedOptions / MergedStats.
  3. testmerge_ifc example harness (reads files from disk, merges, self-checks dup GlobalIds / dangling refs / unified project).

Deferred (documented gate, not silent loss)

Cross-unit normalize rescale is not done natively this iteration: rather than partially rescale (which would silently mis-scale parametric geometry), an incompatible-unit model is federated (kept as its own project, always a valid file) and MergedStats.unit_rescale_required is set so the downstream native path can gate that case to the JS MergedExporter — exactly like the single-model native path already gates mutations/transforms. unitReconciliation: 'auto' multi-project nuances and mutation baking follow the same gating pattern.

Verification

  • cargo test -p ifc-lite-export — 33 merged tests (incl. GlobalId reconciliation, spatial merge, visibility, federation) + 258 crate tests pass.
  • Workspace clippy gate (cargo clippy --workspace --exclude ifc-lite-wasm --all-targets -- -D warnings) clean.
  • Module-size ratchet respected (every production module < 400 lines).
  • Real federation: 11 models totalling ~1.65 GB (one 1 GB file) merged in ~75 s to a 1.75 GB / 29.3M-entity file with no OOM, 1 unified IfcProject, 0 dangling references, and 0 cross-model duplicate GlobalIds (5 residual duplicates are pre-existing within-source exporter defects the JS path emits too).

Notes

  • Byte-for-byte identity with the JS output is not a goal — structural/semantic equivalence is.
  • The public export_merged / export_merged_with_stats wrappers keep their existing signatures; export_merged_models is the new richer entry point.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added native IFC/STEP export for combining multiple models into one file.
    • Consolidates compatible sites, buildings, and storeys across models.
    • Supports configurable unit handling, including shared units and incompatible-unit federation.
    • Preserves references, resolves duplicate GlobalIds, and applies visibility filtering.
    • Provides merge statistics, warnings, and validation through a command-line example.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for merging, filtering, spatial matching, units, identifiers, and reference integrity.

Move the monolithic merged.rs into merged/mod.rs and its tests into
merged/tests.rs (via the sibling mod tests; include the house pattern
uses), with no logic change. This creates the module directory the native
merged-export parity work (#2951) lands its submodules into.
…spatial merge, visibility (#2951)

Bring the native Rust merged exporter (rust/export/src/merged) up from the
id-offset-only "P1" to feature parity with the JS MergedExporter, so a native
consumer can federate models entirely in Rust without materializing the merge
in a webview JS heap (the OOM class this addresses).

- guid.rs: deterministic 22-char GlobalId minter (byte-identical to the JS
  deterministicGlobalId, pinned against golden values) + rooted-entity
  detection denylist + read/replace helpers. Duplicate GlobalIds are now
  unified (same unit space) or re-stamped (relationships / federated), so a
  merged file no longer carries duplicate GlobalIds.
- spatial.rs: match IfcSite / IfcBuilding / IfcBuildingStorey onto the first
  model by name / elevation (single / by-name / by-elevation /
  by-name-then-elevation, +-0.5-unit tolerance).
- plan.rs: per-model index, visibility forward-reference closure, reference
  rewriting, and redundant-IfcRelAggregates pruning.
- units.rs: length-scale resolution + compatibility.
- mod.rs: orchestrator wiring project/infra unification, spatial merge,
  GlobalId reconciliation, per-model visibility, and unit handling into
  export_merged_models, plus extended MergedOptions / MergedStats.

Cross-unit rescaling (unitReconciliation 'normalize') is deferred: an
incompatible-unit model is federated (never silently mis-scaled) and
MergedStats.unit_rescale_required is set so the caller can gate that case to
the JS path — permitted as a first-iteration limitation by the spec.

cargo test -p ifc-lite-export and the workspace clippy gate are clean.
A runnable harness that reads several IFC files from disk, merges them
natively via export_merged_models, writes one .ifc, and self-checks the
result (duplicate GlobalIds, dangling references, unified IfcProject).
This is the native path a webview-embedding consumer would drive instead
of the JS MergedExporter, and the tool used to confirm a ~1.6 GB / 11-model
federation merges without the WebView2 out-of-memory crash (#2951).

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds a native Rust IFC merge exporter with model planning, spatial matching, GlobalId reconciliation, unit handling, reference rewriting, validation tests, and a command-line example.

Changes

Native IFC merge

Layer / File(s) Summary
Public API and unit policies
rust/export/src/merged/mod.rs, rust/export/src/merged/units.rs, rust/export/src/lib.rs
The exporter exposes merged-export APIs and rooted GlobalId extraction. Unit utilities resolve length scales and compare them with relative tolerance.
Model indexing and reference planning
rust/export/src/merged/plan.rs, rust/export/src/merged/plan_tests.rs
The planner indexes STEP entities, resolves visible reference closures, rewrites references outside quoted strings, unifies compatible entities, and removes redundant aggregate relationships.
Spatial and GlobalId reconciliation
rust/export/src/merged/spatial.rs, rust/export/src/merged/guid.rs, rust/export/src/merged/plan.rs
Spatial entities match by name, count, or elevation. Rooted GlobalIds are extracted, duplicate entities are reconciled, and replacement IDs avoid existing identifiers.
Merge orchestration and STEP emission
rust/export/src/merged/mod.rs
The exporter applies unit and planning decisions, emits remapped entities, rewrites references and GlobalIds, and reports federation results.
Integration validation and CLI example
rust/export/src/merged/tests.rs, rust/export/examples/merge_ifc.rs
Tests cover spatial merging, visibility, units, duplicate GlobalIds, and dangling references. The example reads files, writes output, reports statistics, and validates the result.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 27b7a

The export path can currently produce corrupted entity references, incorrect unit-policy behavior, rewritten non-GlobalId attributes, or duplicate GlobalIds in merged IFC files. Because these issues can compromise output correctness, the PR is not safe to merge until they are fixed or explicitly accepted by the owner.

We built an incremental slice of this same ground before seeing this PR, hit a few sharp edges by execution, and it seems more useful to hand those over than to keep a competing branch alive. Our read is that this PR should landunits.rs and spatial.rs are real work we scoped out entirely, and this is broader and more complete.

Two things we ran into that appear to apply here, both reproduced rather than inferred.

1. extract_global_id_fast is positional, which is right — but rootedness still rests on a hand-maintained denylist.

The positional check (quote must be the first thing after () matches what we ended up with, and it closes the larger half of the problem. The residue is is_non_rooted_string_type's ~35-entry list: any non-rooted type whose first attribute is a string and which is not on that list gets treated as carrying a GlobalId.

Concrete case, executed against this branch: IFCCOLOURRGB inherits Name (IfcLabel) as its first attribute from IfcColourSpecification, an IfcPresentationItem rather than an IfcRoot subtype — confirmed against packages/codegen/schemas/IFC4X3.exp:4972-4988 — and it is not on the denylist. So

#12=IFCCOLOURRGB('AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA',0.5,0.5,0.5);

returns Some("AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"). If that 22-character colour name collides with a real GlobalId in another model, it gets re-stamped and the colour's name is silently rewritten. We hit the identical shape on IFCMATERIALLAYER and spent a while convinced our own test proved the opposite — it passed because of the bug, since the fixture used a non-rooted entity as a stand-in GlobalId.

What worked for us was replacing the denylist with the generated schema: IfcType::is_subtype_of(IfcRoot) from rust/core/src/generated/schema.rs. One caveat we then found — that table is IFC4X3-only, 484 rooted types, while the JS side resolves across IFC2X3+IFC4+IFC4X3 for 538. The 54 missing ones include IFCPROXY, IFCDOORSTYLE, IFCWINDOWSTYLE and the IFC4 *STANDARDCASE/*ELEMENTEDCASE family, so a positive-table approach needs a supplemental list for those or it under-covers IFC2X3 merges. Worth knowing before adopting it — the denylist approach here doesn't have that particular gap, it has the over-inclusion one instead.

2. included's forward closure can undo an exclusion, which may surprise a caller using it as a hide-list.

resolve_included pulls in everything reachable from a wanted root. Executed on this branch: a storey with two walls #20,#21 under one IFCRELCONTAINEDINSPATIALSTRUCTURE #31, with included set to everything except #21. Because #31 is itself wanted and its line reads (#20,#21), the closure walks into #21 and re-includes it — two IFCWALL lines emitted, not one.

That is defensible for a "these are the roots I want, bring their dependencies" model, and it is why this design cannot produce the dangling-reference problem at all. But it does mean included is not usable directly as "hide this element, keep its siblings" without the caller pre-narrowing relationship membership first. The JS side handles that case by narrowing the SET/LIST in filterHiddenRefsFromRelationshipLine (packages/export/src/reference-collector.ts:630-675), dropping the line only when the survivor set is empty or the excluded id sits in a single-valued slot. We went the other way first — dropping the whole relationship — and that stripped spatial containment from every other visible element in the storey, which is worse.

Either documenting the caveat or adding narrowing would cover it; the choice depends on what included is meant to promise.

Neither is on the order of the duplicate-GlobalId bug this PR already fixes, and neither looks like a blocker.

Also, minor: the diff carries no changeset, and rust/export ships via @ifc-lite/wasm.

Verified this merges clean onto 989ee2c4e and cargo test -p ifc-lite-export passes 258. We did not re-run the 1.65 GB federation claim — no fixture of that scale here — so that one is yours, not ours, to stand behind.

Follow-up to the rootedness point, since "swap the denylist for a schema check" is easy to say and annoying to do: it is extracted as a standalone branch, portable-rooted-type-check (dade00516), off current main. One file, rust/export/src/rooted_type.rs, deliberately inert — not wired into any call site, no changeset, ships nothing. Take it, copy from it, or ignore it.

It fits your structure without reshaping anything. Your single gate is extract_global_id_fast(type_upper, line) at merged/mod.rs:315, and type_upper already arrives upper-cased from ModelIndex.type_of. So the change is is_non_rooted_string_type(type_upper)!is_rooted_type(type_upper) at merged/guid.rs:138, after which the ~35-entry denylist can go.

The 54-entry legacy table is the part worth having independently of the rest. IfcType::is_subtype_of(IfcRoot) covers 484 rooted types from the IFC4X3-generated schema; the JS side resolves 538 across IFC2X3+IFC4+IFC4X3. The 54 in the gap — IFCPROXY, IFCDOORSTYLE, IFCWINDOWSTYLE, the IFC4 *STANDARDCASE/*ELEMENTEDCASE family — resolve to Unknown, which has no parent(), so a bare is_subtype_of check quietly treats them as non-rooted and skips their GlobalIds. Every entry was re-derived by walking parent chains in packages/data's IFC2X3 and IFC4 tables and confirming absence from the IFC4X3 one.

Four cases are pinned as tests: IFCCOLOURRGB with a 22-character first attribute is not a GlobalId; a real IfcRoot subtype with one is; IFCDOORSTYLE is rooted via the legacy table; an unknown vendor type is not rooted. That last one is the direction that matters — getting it wrong is how the corruption bug appears.

A cross-check we ran afterwards, in case it is useful: dumping all 876 Rust IfcType variants and running is_subtype_of(IfcRoot) gives 484, plus the 54 gives 538; running the JS isRootedType over the 1159-row union of all three schema tables also gives 538, and a set difference in both directions is empty. So the two sides do agree once the legacy table is present.

Nothing here is a blocker on this PR, and the merged-export work in it stands on its own.

@BIMvoice Could you please let me know which software you use to test your IFC files? On my end, I have access to Tekla, SolidWorks, Revit, and some local vendor tools.

If you could share any specific IFC files with edge cases, it would really help me analyze the merge issue from different angles. Right now, I'm primarily driven by my own use case: I'm working with 10 files that need to be merged into a single IFC model under a single IFCPROJECT. I noticed some strangers in my files and accounted for them in the code, but it would be great if you could send over your own specific test files as well.

246-256: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Select the closest storey instead of the first one inside tolerance.

The loop returns the first unmatched entry whose elevation is inside tolerance. storeys_by_elevation is in scan order. If two first-model storeys are both inside tolerance, the merge can pair the later storey with the farther one. Selecting the minimum absolute difference removes that ambiguity.

Confirm that the JS matchRootContainer uses first-match order before you change this, because the module targets byte parity with the JS exporter.

Reduce the number of full passes over each model.

Each model is scanned three times: ModelIndex::build (Line 205), resolve_length_scale (Line 209), and detect_schema (Line 243). The first model is indexed twice, once at Line 186 and once in the loop. For the reported 1.65 GB federation this cost is significant.

Keep the first ModelIndex and reuse it for iteration 0. Consider resolving the schema and the length scale from the same scan that builds the index.

Five reviewer findings on the merged export, verified against the code and fixed:

- Filtered canonical targets dangle (Greptile P1 / CR): canonical_project,
  first_infra and spatial_lookup were derived from the COMPLETE first model, so
  when models[0].included excludes its project / unit / a spatial container,
  later models still redirected refs onto those never-emitted ids. Now the
  first-model merge targets are filtered through resolve_included; an excluded
  canonical simply isn't a target and later models keep their own.
- Schema conversion duplicates GlobalIds (Greptile P1): a downgrade with no
  target type falls back to IFCPROXY with placeholder_guid(id). Two models
  sharing a source-local id seeded the same GlobalId. Pass the OFFSET id so the
  proxy guid is globally unique (and consistent with the line's offset #id).
- Within-model mint collision (CR): GuidMinter::mint only checked prior models'
  emitted guids + its pending set, so a re-stamped guid could collide with an
  unchanged guid in the SAME model. mint now takes the current model's
  local_guids as an extra exclusion set.
- Type-aware GlobalId classification (CR): the harness/tests counted the first

The merged/ split left mod.rs at 425 lines, over the 400-line ratchet with no allowlist row (the failing rust-tests gate). Move the plan-building helpers (ModelPlan, PlanCtx, build_plan, reconcile_global_ids, model_salt) into plan.rs — their natural home beside ModelIndex/unify_spatial — dropping mod.rs to 303, and extract plan.rs's inline tests into a sibling plan_tests.rs (exempt via the _tests.rs suffix) so plan.rs stays at 374. Prefer splitting over allowlisting per AGENTS.md.

Use schema-based rootedness before exposing this API.

leading_rooted_global_id delegates to extract_global_id_fast, which uses a hand-maintained denylist. It can classify IFCCOLOURRGB and IFCMATERIALLAYER as rooted when their first string attribute resembles a GlobalId. The merge planner can then rewrite a non-GlobalId attribute.

Use schema-based rootedness, with an IFC2X3/IFC4 compatibility table if required. Add regression tests for both entity types.

Use a schema-based rooted-entity check before GlobalId reconciliation.

Line 286 trusts extract_global_id_fast. Its denylist can classify a first string attribute of non-rooted entities, such as IFCCOLOURRGB and IFCMATERIALLAYER, as a GlobalId. The planner can then redirect or rewrite a non-GlobalId attribute and corrupt the exported IFC data.

Replace the denylist-based decision with schema-based rootedness. Keep a tested IFC2X3/IFC4 fallback table where schema metadata is unavailable. Add regression cases for these entity types.

Handle duplicate GlobalIds within the current model.

Line 341 only detects identifiers that already exist in ctx.guid_to_final. If two emitted entities in this model share a rooted GlobalId that has not appeared in an earlier model, both bypass can_unify and restamp. Line 356 converts local identifiers to a HashSet, so it cannot identify that duplicate either.

Track seen non-skipped local GlobalIds during the loop. Keep one identifier or redirect it when valid. Re-stamp every later duplicate. Add a plan_tests.rs regression that merges a model containing two rooted entities with the same GlobalId.

Diagnosed the single failing test. The implementation is fine; the assertion is wrong, and it says so itself.

The failure

rust/export/src/merged/tests.rs:41

// Two models minus one dropped project ≈ 2*single - 1 entities.
assert_eq!(stats.written, single * 2 - 1);

Measured on ara3d/duplex.ifc (fetched and sha-verified against the manifest):

single = 38898    written = 75965    naive 2*single-1 = 77795    gap = 1830

The comment says and the assertion says ==. That is the whole bug: an approximation written as an exact equality.

The 1830 are unified, not lost — and your own test proves it

I removed only that one assertion and re-ran. The test passes, which means every other assertion in it holds:

  • ids are globally unique after merge
  • exactly one IfcProject survives
  • "no dangling references: every #ref resolves to a written id"

That last one is the decisive evidence. If 1830 entities had been dropped rather than redirected, references into them would dangle and that check would fail. It does not.

And the module doc explains where they go — merged/mod.rs:10-11:

the first IfcUnitAssignment / representation contexts are dropped and their references redirected to the first model's (compatible models only)

plus spatial.rs, which unifies the shared spatial tree. So the merge unifies considerably more than the project, and 2*single - 1 only ever accounted for the project. Merging a model with itself is the maximum-overlap case, so it is exactly where that undercount is largest.

Two ways to fix it, and I would take the second

1. Assert the invariant instead of the arithmetic. written < single * 2 and written >= single — true, but weak: it would also pass if unification went badly wrong.

2. Make the number checkable. MergedStats currently has models, written, federated_model_count, unit_rescale_required, warnings — nothing counts what was unified. Adding a unified: usize turns the brittle approximation into an exact identity:

assert_eq!(stats.written, single * 2 - stats.unified);

That is strictly stronger than what is there now, it survives future changes to what gets unified, and the count is independently useful to a caller deciding whether a merge did anything. It also means the next person who widens unification gets a green test instead of a mystery left: 75965, right: 77795.

Your call which — (1) unblocks you in one line.


Separately, and not yours to resolve: #2970 was opened this morning implementing the same issue and says "Closes #2951", while you are the assignee and have had this PR open since 08-20. I have flagged that for @louistrue. You got here first and this is one assertion away from green, so I would not want it obsoleted quietly. Whichever direction he takes it, you should hear a reason rather than find out from a closed tab.

Your single failure is a test-arithmetic problem, not a defect in the merger. Diagnosis so you do not have to hunt for it.

rust/export/src/merged/tests.rs:41

assert_eq!(stats.written, single * 2 - 1);
//  left: 75965   right: 77795

The comment one line above says "≈ 2*single - 1 entities" — and the assertion encodes that approximation as exact equality. So single = 38898, and 1831 entities from the second model were unified away rather than the 1 the arithmetic allows for.

That is your own merger working as designed. It drops more than the project:

  • merged/plan.rs:21SHARED_INFRASTRUCTURE_TYPES: IFCUNITASSIGNMENT, IFCGEOMETRICREPRESENTATIONCONTEXT, IFCGEOMETRICREPRESENTATIONSUBCONTEXT, first instance kept, later duplicates dropped and redirected
  • merged/guid.rs — GUID-matched non-relationship types are unified; IFCREL* are re-stamped rather than unified, because a shared GUID on two relationships does not imply the same membership

The fixture merges a model with itself (&[&a, &a]), which is the input that maximises GUID matches, so the dedup is at its most aggressive exactly where the test asserts it is at its least.

Options, your call

  1. Assert what the merge actually guarantees rather than a count: single <= stats.written < single * 2. Honest, but weak — it would pass if dedup went haywire and unified half the model.
  2. Merge two genuinely different models. Dedup then only touches shared infrastructure, the count becomes predictable, and it tests the case users actually hit. This is the one I would pick.
  3. Derive the expected number from the dedup rules and assert it exactly, with a comment saying which rule accounts for which subtraction. Strongest assertion, most brittle to future dedup changes.

Whichever you choose, the three assertions around it are already the valuable ones — globally unique ids, exactly one IFCPROJECT, and no dangling references. Those pin the properties that actually matter; the entity count is a proxy that happens to be fragile.

One thing you should know that is not about your code

#2951 is assigned to you, and #2970 was opened this morning implementing the same feature and saying Closes #2951. I have flagged it there — the disposition is a maintainer's call, not mine, but you should not find that out by having this PR closed. Your work here is 260 tests passing with one arithmetic slip in a test, which is a long way from stalled.

@Blogbotana Maintainer decision on the overlap with #2970: this PR takes precedence. You filed #2951, you are the assignee, and you got here first. #2970 arrived fifteen hours later against the same issue, which is a coordination failure on our side, not a problem with your work. Apologies for the noise.

Two things follow from that.

1. The failing test is one assertion, and the implementation is fine

merge_two_models_unifies_project_and_offsets_ids asserts stats.written == single * 2 - 1, while its own comment says the relationship is approximate. Measured on ara3d/duplex.ifc merged with itself: single=38898 written=75965 naive=77795, so the gap is 1830, not 1.

Those 1830 entities are unified, not lost. Removing only that assertion lets the test's own "every #ref resolves to a written id" check run, and it passes: if the entities had been dropped rather than redirected, references into them would dangle. merged/mod.rs documents the other unification sites (IfcUnitAssignment, representation contexts) and spatial.rs adds the spatial tree, so 2*single - 1 only ever accounted for the project. Merging a model with itself is the maximum-overlap case, which is exactly where a project-only estimate undercounts worst.

The stronger fix, if you want it: add unified: usize to MergedStats and assert written == single * 2 - stats.unified. That turns an approximation into an exact identity and will not produce a mystery left/right for whoever widens unification next.

2. What we would like carried over from #2970

We compared the two implementations feature by feature. Yours is closer to the JS MergedExporter on almost every axis, including the unify branch of GUID reconciliation, unit compatibility and federation fallback, spatial unification, infra dedup, cross-schema conversion, and the per-model-id mint salt that #2970 salts by index instead. It also has the JS golden-value anchors for deterministic_global_id, which #2970 has none of.

Four things exist only in #2970 and should not be lost:

A. Visibility: an excluded set, and narrowing kept relationship lines. This is the significant one. Your included: Option<Vec<u32>> is roots plus a forward-reference closure, which cannot express "hidden product": a kept IFCRELCONTAINEDINSPATIALSTRUCTURE names the hidden wall, the closure walks into it, and the hidden geometry re-enters the export. The only workaround is excluding the whole relationship, which drops storey containment for every visible sibling too. #2970's merged_visibility.rs ports the JS hiddenProductIds plus filterHiddenRefsFromRelationshipLine, including the IfcRelConnectsStructuralMember.ConditionCoordinateSystem optional-slot exception. Without it a JS-parity visibleOnly merged export is not expressible through this API, and visibleOnly is in #2951's acceptance criteria.

B. Schema-derived rooted detection. #2970 uses IfcType::is_subtype_of(IfcType::IfcRoot) plus a 54-entry IFC2X3/IFC4 legacy-rooted table, where guid.rs uses a 52-entry denylist of non-rooted types. Not a live bug: you gate on 22 characters and the GUID charset, so a short leading string is safe. It is a drift hazard, because every future non-rooted type with a leading string has to be remembered. IFCGRIDAXIS (first attribute AxisTag, a label) is already absent from the list. Worth noting the trade in the other direction: an allowlist needs that legacy table or IFC2X3 GUIDs stop deduplicating, so port both halves or neither.

C. Two tests. #2970 checks a shared GlobalId appears exactly once in the raw output text (merged.matches(guid).count()). That oracle is independent of the classifier, where merged/tests.rs checks dedup via leading_rooted_global_id, the production classifier, so the differential shares the contract-reading with the code under test. It also covers non-rooted 22-character strings end to end through the merge, where yours covers them at unit level.

D. Changesets. #2970 has four, this PR has none, and the Lint lane gates on a changeset for published-package changes.

How to proceed

Your call, and either is fine by us:

  • fold A through D in here, or
  • fix the assertion, land this, and we open a follow-up PR that ports them on top.

If you would rather not take on A (it is roughly a day: merged_visibility.rs is self-contained but MergedModel needs an excluded field and the closure becomes a fixpoint), say so and we will do it as the follow-up. We will not push to your branch either way.

Thanks for the work, and again, sorry for the duplicate.

Resolve the export conflict from #3007 (GlobalId dedup) landing on main: keep the split merged/ module (the full-parity superset), drop the flat merged.rs, and fold in #3007's GlobalId regression tests — all green against the unify implementation. Update the stale self-merge count assertion to the unify invariant (#3007 re-stamped; #2952 unifies, matching merged-exporter.ts).

* docs(agents): respect assignments, and claim work before starting it

Three PRs today duplicated work that was already claimed. The one that
matters: issue #2951 was filed by an external contributor, assigned to
them, and implemented in #2952 — and #2970 arrived fifteen hours later
implementing the same thing. They objected, correctly.

The cost is not the wasted effort. It is that someone who did everything
right watched the project duplicate their work.

The rule has three parts, and the third is the one that was missing:
check assignees, check for an open PR referencing the issue, and assign
yourself BEFORE writing code rather than when opening the PR. An
assignment made at PR time claims nothing, because the window it needed to
cover has already closed. Check again just before opening, since a claim
can appear while you work.

Also states who keeps the work when a duplicate happens: the person who
was assigned, not whoever is further along. And that a duplicate is
enumerated before it is closed, so what it uniquely holds is not lost.

* docs(agents): helping is welcome, taking over is not

The first version said "if someone else is assigned, it is theirs, do not
start", which forbids the cases that are actually fine and gives no way to
tell them apart from the case that is not.

Two things make it help rather than a takeover:

They accepted an offer. Comment saying what you would do and wait for a
yes. Silence is not a yes. An assignee who is mid-development and reads
"we have already built this in parallel" is being told, not asked, which is
exactly what happened on #2670.

It has genuinely gone quiet: no commits and no word for about a week, and
even then comment first, wait a couple of days, and reassign explicitly
rather than working in the shadows.

Also lists what needs no permission at all, since the first version could
be read as discouraging it: reviewing their PR, diagnosing a failing check
and posting the cause, answering a question, reporting a defect in shipped
code. And what is not help however good the code: a parallel
implementation announced afterwards, an unraised branch duplicating their
work, pushing to their branch, a competing PR.

If you already built something before noticing, say so, hand it over, and
let them decide. That is recoverable. Landing it is not.

Applies to us as much as to any bot.

P1 Placeholder GUID collision bypasses reconciliation

When a schema-converted entity receives a deterministic placeholder matching a rooted GlobalId already emitted by an earlier model, conversion occurs after GUID reconciliation and registers the placeholder without checking for the existing value, causing duplicate GlobalIds in the merged IFC.

Store the primary scale for AssumeShared.

AssumeShared promises to unify models regardless of declared units. Line 214 stores this_scale. reconcile_global_ids then rejects a duplicate GlobalId because it compares that stored scale with primary_scale.

Store primary_scale as the effective scale for this mode. Add a test with equal GlobalIds in models that declare incompatible units under AssumeShared.

Proposed fix
-                UnitReconciliation::AssumeShared => (true, this_scale),
+                UnitReconciliation::AssumeShared => (true, primary_scale),

Do not wrap EXPRESS ids during merge.

A model containing u32::MAX can make the next model's offset wrap to zero. The exporter can then emit duplicate or invalid EXPRESS ids and rewrite references to the wrong entities.

  • rust/export/src/merged/mod.rs#L288-L288: replace cumulative offset wrapping with checked arithmetic.
  • rust/export/src/merged/mod.rs#L269-L270: use the validated final EXPRESS id when seeding schema-conversion placeholders.
  • rust/export/src/merged/plan.rs#L137-L149: reject overflowing reference ids and offsets instead of wrapping them.

Expose a fallible merge path, or stop output generation with an explicit error when the merged id range exceeds the supported range.

Connect the synthetic spatial hierarchy.

build_model only relates #10 to #11. It does not relate #1 to #10 or #11 to #12. The spatial tests can therefore pass when the exporter emits disconnected containers instead of preserving and remapping a project-to-site-to-building-to-storey hierarchy.

Add aggregate relationships for project-to-site and building-to-storey. Assert their remapped endpoints after merge.

Assert entity behavior for each unit policy.

The project count does not prove that Normalize keeps spatial containers federated or that AssumeShared unifies matching rooted entities. A regression can keep the expected project count while incorrectly merging federated containers or re-stamping the matching wall.

For Normalize, assert separate site, building, storey, and wall counts. For AssumeShared, assert one of each matching rooted entity and unique rooted GlobalIds.

Also applies to: 552-555

@Blogbotana Your side is green. Rust tests pass, and 20 checks are passing overall.

The one red mark is the Build + WASM + Rust + Node roll-up, and it is not yours. It is failing because the Node tests lane is timing out repo-wide, on main as well as here. Nothing in this PR causes it and nothing in this PR can fix it.

For what it is worth, that lane reports as cancelled, which is the same word GitHub uses when a run is superseded by a newer push. The only thing that separates them is the clock: 25m16s and 25m29s against a timeout-minutes: 25 cap. Worth knowing, because "cancelled" reads like something harmless happened.

The fix is in #3035. The measurement it produced:

Node tests (viewer removed)   5:32   SUCCESS
Viewer tests (alone)         25:29   TIMEOUT

So everything except the viewer costs five and a half minutes, and the viewer alone did not fit in 25 even with a whole runner. It is now sharded four ways and running. Once that lands, this PR should go green without you touching it.

So: nothing to do on your side, and sorry that a repo-wide problem has been sitting on your PR.

One process note, no action needed on the code: the body references #2951 without a closing keyword, so merging this leaves the issue open. Only Closes #2951 in the body auto-closes it.

Worth adding since this is the PR that is actually landing the work.

@Blogbotana #3035 has merged, so the lane that was failing your PR is fixed on main. Nothing here was ever yours to fix.

Your PR needs one thing to pick it up: merge main into your branch (or rebase). A bare gh run rerun will not work, because a re-run replays the pinned merge commit and would just reproduce the old failure against the old base.

For the record on what it was, since "cancelled" is a misleading thing to have had sitting on your PR for a day: a single test in the viewer suite hung, node:test has no per-file timeout, so one stuck child held the runner until the job's 25 minute cap while every other test finished. Turbo buffers output until a task ends, so the job printed nothing and read as a deadlock. The status GitHub shows for a timeout is cancelled, the same word it uses for a superseded run, so only the duration distinguished them.

The actual cause turned out to be a Node version difference: module.registerHooks landed in 22.15.0, CI floats node-version: 22 to 22.23.2, and the loader hook that test relies on matched a bare specifier that the newer sync path had already normalised. It passed on any developer machine still on an older 22 and hung on CI, which is why it survived.

After the fix:

Node tests               5:33   success
Viewer tests (shard 0)   2:46   success
Viewer tests (shard 1)   1:29   success
Viewer tests (shard 2)   1:59   success
Viewer tests (shard 3)   2:02   success

Your Rust tests were already green on your own fix before any of this, so once the base updates this should go green on its own.

@Blogbotana Base refreshed, and your PR is now on the fixed CI lane: 23 checks passing.

The one remaining red is Viewer tests (shard 1), and it is not yours. It is a known flake, now seen on five unrelated PRs today (#3025, #3027, #3043, #3044 and this one), always the same file and the same assertion:

useSandbox.runSupersession.test.tsx
  "the reproducer must be parked on its host gate"   0 !== 1, then 2 !== 1

Your diff is rust/export and cannot reach a viewer sandbox test. #3043, which also hit it, touches no TypeScript at all.

Tracked in #3060, and the fix is in #3061. The cause is mine: I added --test-concurrency=4 to the viewer suite earlier today, which makes that timing-sensitive test race three neighbours under CI load. It came from an earlier attempt at the CI lane that I had already measured as not helping, and I carried it forward once the sharding worked. The parallelism comes from four concurrent shard jobs, so the flag was buying nothing.

Once #3061 lands, a base refresh here should clear it. Nothing for you to do, and sorry for the second round of noise on your PR from our infrastructure rather than your change.

@Blogbotana Status check: all 25 checks pass, the CI problems are gone, and this is the PR that lands for #2951. What is left is review findings rather than infrastructure.

Seven CodeRabbit threads are still open, five of them Major, and all are live at head (none marked outdated). Summarising so you have them in one place:

  1. merged/mod.rs:36 — use schema-based rootedness before exposing leading_rooted_global_id
  2. merged/plan.rs:289 — same, before GlobalId reconciliation
  3. merged/plan.rs:359 — handle duplicate GlobalIds within the current model, not only across models
  4. merged/mod.rs:215 — store the primary scale for AssumeShared
  5. merged/mod.rs:288do not wrap EXPRESS ids during merge; a model containing u32::MAX can make ids wrap
  6. merged/tests.rs:365 — connect the synthetic spatial hierarchy (minor)
  7. merged/tests.rs:537 — assert entity behaviour per unit policy rather than project count (minor)

Findings 1 and 2 now have a worked example on main. #3030 merged a few hours ago and did exactly this for the sibling path: it replaced the hand-maintained non-rooted denylist with getInheritanceChainAcrossSchemas. Worth reading as a reference rather than deriving it again, and it also settles the point I raised earlier about IFCGRIDAXIS being absent from a denylist — a schema check removes that whole class rather than patching one entry.

Finding 5 is the one I would do first. An EXPRESS id wrapping is silent: the file still parses, references still resolve, and they resolve to the wrong entity. That is worse than a crash and it will not show up in any test that does not deliberately construct a model near u32::MAX.

Nothing here is a reason to start over, and none of it is CI. Ping when you want another look, or say if you would rather we take any of them as follow-ups on top once this lands.

Thanks for keeping this moving. CI is 25/25 green, so I want to be clear that what follows is not CI telling you something is wrong. I checked the findings against the code on head (b4201006c) rather than relaying the bot.

rust/export is a Rust crate, which is where this repo holds its strictest bar, so I would rather give you a precise blocking list than a vague "address the comments".

Blocking: the wrapping arithmetic on EXPRESS ids

merged/plan.rs:139-141

n = n.wrapping_mul(10).wrapping_add((line[j] - b'0') as u32);

I assumed this needed an implausible model to reach, and that is wrong. The wrap is in the digit parser, so any oversized id token in the input triggers it:

#4294967296  parses to  0
#4294967297  parses to  1

An id too large to represent does not fail, and it does not become a sentinel. It becomes a small, valid-looking id that aliases a real entity. remap(n) then either hits a genuine entry for the wrong entity, or falls through to n.wrapping_add(offset) and lands somewhere else real. Either way the exporter writes a well-formed file whose references point at the wrong things, and nothing downstream can tell.

Same operator at merged/mod.rs:288 (offset = offset.wrapping_add(index.max_id)) and at plan.rs:149 (n.wrapping_add(offset)).

wrapping_* is a deliberate "I want the wrong number rather than a panic" choice. For an id namespace it should be checked_* with an explicit error. A merge that cannot be represented should refuse, because a silently mis-referenced IFC file is worse than no file.

Blocking: schema-based rootedness

Four findings converge on one thing (guid.rs:113, mod.rs:36, plan.rs:289, tests.rs:360): GlobalId reconciliation decides what is a rooted entity without consulting schema data. That is one fix, not four, and it is worth doing once at the seam rather than at each call site.

Blocking, smaller

  • plan.rs:359, duplicate GlobalIds within one model, not just across models.
  • mod.rs:215, store the primary scale for AssumeShared.

Not blocking

The three Minors (mod.rs:240, guid.rs:363, tests.rs:365, tests.rs:537) are fair but I would take them in a follow-up rather than grow this diff.

On the overlap with #2970

#2970 is an internal PR against the same issue. The call here was that yours takes precedence, and that still stands. The one thing #2970 holds that yours does not is a fuller visibility filter (merged_visibility.rs). Yours has visibility in mod.rs and plan.rs, and CodeRabbit's mod.rs:195 finding is about its ordering, so the two are addressing the same ground. I am leaving #2970 open until yours lands so that work is not lost, then it gets rebased on top of yours rather than competing with it. Nothing for you to do about it.

Happy to take any of the above off your hands if you would rather not carry all of it. Say which and I will open a PR against your branch instead of pushing to it.
