ispyisail 46c35d2297 Let a script query the project database
Every structural question this API could answer, it answered by walking
live objects. The project builds a SQLite database that already knows
most of them, and nothing outside the application could reach it.

  tables()      what is queryable, tables and views
  query(sql)    rows, one object per row
  queryError()  why the last one returned nothing

This is not a new door. QElectroTech already ships a "Requête SQL
personnalisée" box in the element-query dialog where a user types
arbitrary SQL, guarded by projectDataBase::isReadOnlySelect(); query()
goes through projectDataBase::newQuery(), which applies that same rule
and returns the same rejection message. A script gets what a user
already has, and neither can write: DELETE, UPDATE and a chained
"SELECT 1; DROP TABLE" are all refused before reaching SQLite.

An empty result and a failure are told apart. query() returns no rows
for both, so queryError() carries the reason -- a refusal, or SQLite's
own message for a bad column -- and is empty when the query simply
matched nothing. Conflating those is how a silent typo in a column name
becomes "there are no such elements".

No updateDB() before querying, and that is a measured decision rather
than an omission. A script that has just edited something is the
expected caller, so a stale cache was the obvious hazard; but
projectDataBase maintains itself incrementally through addElement(),
elementInfoChanged(), addConductor() and the rest, which the undo
commands behind every edit already call. Tested both ways on the cases
most likely to go stale -- an element added and labelled, a conductor
property changed -- each queried immediately afterwards through both the
table and the view. Identical counts with the rebuild and without it,
and updateDB() repopulates every table, so calling it per query would
have been real cost for no benefit. The comment says so, so it is not
added back on the assumption it must be needed.

The views are the surface to depend on: element_nomenclature_view,
project_summary_view and wiring_list_view exist to be queried. The
tables are how the cache is arranged today and a column may move --
which is why tables() lists both and the header says which is which.

Verified against examples/industrial.qet, the largest shipped project:
618 elements counted, the busiest wire numbers ranked (0VDC 93 times,
24V2 64), and duplicate element labels found by GROUP BY ... HAVING --
V6 seven times, V5 six -- which is a design-rule question no tool here
could previously ask. Qt 6.10.2, ctest matches master.

ispyisail 2adc58c1c0 Let a script add the text and shapes a folio carries
The drawing furniture beside the circuit: a free-standing note, a line,
a rectangle, an ellipse, a polygon.

  texts()  addText()  setTextContent()  setTextColor()
           setTextRotation()  deleteText()
  shapes() addShape()  deleteShape()

Added with the same AddGraphicsObjectCommand the corresponding GUI tools
use, and changed through the plainText/color/rotation properties those
items already publish, so a script's note undoes like a hand-placed one.

These are addressed by index into a listing sorted by position, reading
order, because they have no better identity: unlike an element they carry
no uuid, and unlike a conductor they have no terminal to be named by.
Position is what they have and it persists, so the ordering survives a
save and reload -- verified by listing before and after, including a
rotated text whose bounding box moves. It does not survive adding or
deleting one: indexes after that point shift the way a list's do, which
is why texts() and shapes() exist rather than a caller keeping a handle.

The sort is on sceneBoundingRect(), not pos(). A QetShapeItem keeps its
geometry in its line/rect/polygon and leaves pos() at the origin, so
sorting on pos() put three shapes drawn in three different places all at
(0, 0) and made every shape index refer to whichever the set yielded
first -- which is what the first version of this did, and the test that
caught it was asking for three shapes and getting index 0 three times.

Path is deliberately not offered: it is built by successive clicks and
has no two-point form to give here.

Verified headlessly: three texts added bottom-up and listed in reading
order, edited, recoloured, rotated, one deleted; three shapes added,
listed with their real geometry, the middle one deleted and the right one
gone; unknown shape name, invalid colour and out-of-range index all
decline with a reason. Saved, reloaded, both listings identical.

Qt 6.10.2, build clean, ctest matches master, qet-lint clean on the
generated project, qet-coherence-check clean on the example corpus.

ispyisail 82262c5980 Let a script number a conductor and link a cross-reference
Two gaps left over from the drawing verbs. A script could create a
conductor but not say what it was -- no number, colour, section or
formula -- and could not link a master to its slave, although
LinkElementCommand has been there all along and nothing bound it.

  conductors()            what is on this folio, and how to address it
  conductorProperty()
  setConductorProperty()  num, formula, function, bus, cable,
                          tension_protocol, conductor_color,
                          conductor_section, color, text_color
  elementLinkType()       simple / master / slave / next_report / ...
  linkedElements()
  linkElements()          two folio indices: a master and its slave are
                          normally on different folios
  unlinkElement()

The property names are the ones the .qet file uses for the same fields,
so what a script sets is what a reader of the file sees rather than a
third spelling invented here.

A property is applied to every conductor of the same electrical
potential, not to the one conductor named. That is the rule the
application already follows -- SearchAndReplaceWorker pushes one
QPropertyUndoCommand per conductor of relatedPotentialConductors()
inside a macro -- because a wire number describes a potential, not one
drawn segment; setting it on one and leaving the rest of the potential
disagreeing would produce a file no GUI action could have produced.

Linking asks LinkElementCommand::isLinkable() rather than re-deriving
its rules, so a script cannot make a link the GUI would refuse: master
to master, a PLC master to a non-PLC slave, a next-report to another
next-report, or anything to an already-taken target.

A conductor is addressed as "the conductor on terminal i of element U".
It has no identity of its own to use instead: conductors carry no
persisted uuid, and the terminal1/terminal2 ids in the file are
folio-scoped integers QElectroTech renumbers on every save. Since the
change is potential-wide, any terminal of the potential names it equally
well, so in practice a potential is addressed from one of its leaves; a
terminal carrying several conductors names none of them and is refused
rather than guessed at.

Verified headlessly. Conductor: num, section and colour set from one end
of a potential and read back from the other, saved and reloaded, present
in the XML. Propagation shown to discriminate, which took two tries --
the first attempt wired A.0-B.0 and B.1-C.0 and saw no propagation,
correctly, because a coil's two terminals are opposite ends of the coil
and not one potential. Wiring a real hub at A.0 instead, a number set
via the B leaf appears on the C conductor too, in memory and in the
saved file. Cross-reference: a master on one folio linked to a slave on
another, linkedElements() agreeing from both ends, surviving save and
reload with link_uuid written on both folios; master-to-master,
self-link, unlink and relink all behave. Unknown property, invalid
colour, bare terminal and ambiguous terminal all decline with a reason.

Qt 6.10.2, build clean, ctest matches master, qet-coherence-check clean
on the example corpus, qet-lint clean on the generated projects.

ispyisail c740cdf1ac Let a script wire, label and rotate, not only place
The scripting API (bugtracker #162) could place an element and move it,
and could count conductors but not make one. So a script could put a
coil and a motor on a folio and had no way to connect them, which is
most of what drawing is. This adds the missing verbs:

  addConductor()      wire terminal i of one element to terminal j of another
  rotateElement()
  setElementInfo()    any information key
  setElementLabel()   the label key, by name, since it is the one people want
  addFolio()
  setFolioTitle()
  elementUuids()      what is on this folio
  elementName()
  elementTerminals()  which terminal index is which, before wiring it

Each goes through the command the GUI already uses, so a script's edits
undo like manual ones and reach the project database the same way:
ConductorCreator (the drag-a-rectangle-over-terminals path, which is
what makes a new conductor inherit an existing potential's properties
and join auto-numbering), ChangeElementInformationCommand,
QETProject::addNewDiagram(), ChangeTitleBlockCommand. rotateElement()
pushes the same QPropertyUndoCommand on "rotation" that
RotateSelectionCommand pushes for an Element, rather than
RotateSelectionCommand itself, which works on the diagram's selection
and would mean rewriting the user's selection to rotate one element.

Terminals are addressed by index, not uuid. Terminal::uuid() is a
property of the catalog .elmt definition: empty for most of the
installed base, and where present, identical across every instance of
that element -- two coils of the same type placed side by side have
byte-identical terminal uuids, so a uuid cannot say which coil's A1 is
meant. elementTerminals() exists so a script can see the indexing
instead of guessing it.

The one real hazard is that ConductorCreator asks the user which
potential to inherit from when the two terminals sit on two different
existing ones, and it asks with a plain modal QDialog that
QET::QetMessageBox's non-interactive mode does not cover -- so under
headless --run there is nobody to answer and the call never returns.
Measured: with the check removed, that one call hangs until killed;
with it, it declines in 0.4 s. addConductor() therefore refuses that
case, the same way and for the same reason addElement() already refuses
the import-conflict dialog.

To make that check without duplicating the condition, existingPotential()
becomes static over an explicit terminal list and ConductorCreator gains
a public needsPotentialChoice() predicate. Behaviour of the GUI path is
unchanged; setUpPropertieToUse() passes m_terminals_list to the same code
it called before.

Verified headlessly against a copy of examples/ArduinoLCD.qet: new folio
titled, two coils placed, wired, labelled, an info key set and the
element rotated; saved, reloaded, and the conductor, label, title and
rotation (persisted as orientation="1") all read back. Re-saving the
result is byte-identical. qet-lint clean on the generated project;
qet-coherence-check clean on it and on the 24-project example corpus,
and shown to report 9 findings on a deliberately broken copy of the same
file, so the clean result discriminates. Qt 6.10.2, ctest identical to
master (the 61 failures are the vendored KDE ECM suite, present on both).

ispyisail 4a83521306 Fix scripting review findings: import, save, backups, timeout
Addresses scorpio810's review of PR #891:

- addElement() now imports the element into the project's own embedded
  collection first (QETProject::importElement()), same as the
  drag-from-collection-panel path -- otherwise the saved .qet referenced
  a definition outside the project, missing on another machine. Also
  found and fixed while wiring this up: ElementsLocation::setPath()
  forces any path to embed:// once a non-null project is passed, so the
  unconditional ElementsLocation(locationPath, m_project) this method
  used before silently broke every common://custom:// call. Refuses
  on an import-collision case that would otherwise reach
  QETProject::importElement()'s own modal ImportElementDialog, with
  nobody there to answer it in a script.
- addElement()/setElementPosition()/moveElement()/deleteElement() refuse
  on a read-only project, matching their GUI equivalents.
- save() goes through QETProject::write() when no path is given (read
  -only handling, saveddate/savedtime, QSaveFile via writeXmlFile()) and
  QET::writeXmlFile() directly for an explicit output path, instead of a
  plain QFile that skipped all of that.
- Interactive "Run Script...": exports briefly disable project backups
  around the temporary QETProject CLIExport::run() opens on the same
  file, so it doesn't race the real open project's own KAutoSaveFile.
  Restored right after -- the headless --run path is untouched, since it
  depends on backups staying off for the whole run.
- A watchdog thread now calls QJSEngine::setInterrupted() after 30s,
  so a runaway script (`while(true){}`) can't freeze the GUI or hang a
  CI job forever. First version used sleep_for() and blocked every run,
  fast ones included, for the full 30s on join() -- caught by testing a
  one-line script, fixed with wait_for() on a condition variable so a
  script that finishes early wakes the watchdog immediately.
- Interactive script errors now also show a QetMessageBox, not just
  stderr (invisible on Windows).
- Ran update_translations (lupdate) to pick up the 37 strings this
  feature had not yet added to the .ts files.

Not applied: wrapping the whole script run in one undo macro. It would
make the script's own qet.undo()/qet.redo() calls silent no-ops for the
run's duration -- QUndoStack ignores undo()/redo() while a macro is
open -- which would break that already-shipped, explicitly requested
capability to get one convenience Ctrl+Z instead.

Verified: Qt 6.10.2, builds clean, ctest 6/6. Ran each fix against a
real project: addElement() on a common:// path now succeeds and the
saved file embeds the definition (embed://import/...); read-only
project refuses addElement(); save("") and save(otherpath) both
produce a correctly embedded file; `while(true){}` under --run is
interrupted at 30s where it previously hung forever, and a normal
script now exits in ~0.3s instead of blocking for the full timeout
budget.

ispyisail 0920e82188 Add geometry editing, undo integration, and navigation to scripting
Extends the scripting surface from the previous commit with exactly
the three things explicitly scoped out there, per follow-up direction:
editing geometry, undo integration, and driving the GUI -- the last
one narrowed to select/zoom/message after discussion, since "invoke
any menu action by name" would let a script trigger a modal
QDialog::exec() with nobody there to dismiss it, the same hang class
investigated for bugtracker #882.

## New capabilities

- addElement/setElementPosition/moveElement/deleteElement, through the
  same undo commands the GUI itself uses: AddGraphicsObjectCommand
  (the same one drag-from-collection-panel placement uses),
  QPropertyUndoCommand on the standard `pos` property, and
  DeleteQGraphicsItemCommand (refuses a non-deletable terminal, same
  as the Delete key).
- undo/redo/canUndo/canRedo against the project's real QUndoStack --
  the same one QETDiagramEditor's Ctrl+Z is wired to via
  undo_group.activeStack(), not a parallel mechanism.
- selectElement/deselectAll (scene state, no view required -- works
  headless), zoomFit/zoomToContent/zoomReset (need the active
  DiagramView, so false headless where there is nothing to zoom), and
  showMessage (a modal QET::QetMessageBox::information -- safe headless
  because non-interactive mode is already on for the whole process
  before any script runs).

## Two real bugs caught by testing this, not assumed away

1. save() was still going through the same reopen-from-disk path as
   every export method: it opened a *second*, unmodified copy of the
   project from its file on disk and rewrote that. addElement() and
   friends operate on the live in-memory project, so nothing they did
   ever reached the saved file -- an element counted correctly in
   memory and then silently vanished from the output. Fixed by having
   save() write m_project->toXml() directly, the only method that
   touches the live instance rather than a fresh copy of the file.

2. A script calling setElementPosition() then moveElement() on the
   same element produced a saved position that didn't match either
   call, and undo/redo didn't step through them independently. Traced
   to QPropertyUndoCommand::mergeWith() (pre-existing, not new):
   consecutive commands on the same object+property merge when their
   text() also matches, and both calls build the identical "Déplacer
   %1" text for a given element -- exactly the same collapsing
   dragging an item repeatedly gets. Not a bug in the new code; a
   wrong assumption in the first test. Re-verified against the
   correct, merge-aware expectation: add -> merged move -> undo (back
   to first position) -> undo (element removed) -> redo (element back)
   -> redo (merged move reapplied) landed at the exact predicted final
   position, read back from the saved XML.

## Verified

Qt6, build clean from a fresh reconfigure, ctest 6/6.

- Headless: addElement returns a real uuid and the count updates;
  select/set-position/move all report correctly; the merge-aware
  undo/redo/save round trip above, confirmed against the saved file's
  actual XML, not just in-memory counters.
- Corpus: the existing read-model smoke script re-run against all 24
  shipped example projects on the fixed binary, 0 failures.
- zoomFit correctly returns false headless (no view to act on),
  confirming the "narrowed GUI-driving" scope holds in code, not just
  in the doc comment.
- GUI: running the add-only script via "Exécuter un script..." marked
  the project [modifié] in the title bar, the same change-tracking
  path a manual edit goes through -- consistent with the undo command
  actually being pushed onto the project's real stack rather than some
  side channel invisible to the rest of the application.

ispyisail eba258f6cd Add JavaScript scripting: --run and "Run Script..." (bugtracker #162)
Following up on my own comments there: a deliberately small, mostly
read-only scripting surface, exposed to scripts as a single global
`qet` object (QetScriptApi) built on QJSEngine rather than an embedded
Python interpreter -- no new toolchain to package (QJSEngine ships in
every Qt SDK QET already targets, via the Qml module), no GIL, no
version pinning, automatic reflection of the QObject-derived core
classes' own methods with no hand-written binding layer.

## What a script can do

- Read the model: project title, file path, folio count/titles,
  element/conductor counts per folio.
- Trigger the same operations the --export-* CLI flags already do
  (pdf/png/svg/cables/wires/bom/wiring/nets/links/info), plus
  set-titleblock and save -- thin wrappers around CLIExport::run(),
  reusing its already-tested logic rather than duplicating it.

Deliberately NOT in this version: creating or editing diagram
geometry, undo integration, driving the GUI. All explicitly out of
scope per the discussion on #162.

## Two entry points, both built and tested

- `qelectrotech --run script.js project.qet` -- headless/CI.
- Projet > "Exécuter un script..." -- an interactive macro against the
  currently open project. Export/save calls act on the project's file
  on disk (see QetScriptApi's class comment for why), so unsaved GUI
  edits aren't visible to the script; save first if that matters.

## Optional dependency, not a hard requirement

Qt::Qml is probed the same way QtPdf already is in this codebase:
QUIET, non-fatal, behind a QET_HAS_SCRIPTING compile definition. A
build without it compiles and links identically; the CLI flag and
menu action are simply absent (main.cpp) or compile to a clear
"not available" stderr message rather than silently disappearing
(qetscripting.cpp), matching the existing QtPdf pattern rather than
introducing a new one.

One real bug caught building this, not assumed away: my first pass
conditionally excluded the new source files from QET_SRC_FILES behind
`if(QET_HAS_SCRIPTING)` inside qet_compilation_vars.cmake -- but that
file is included before QET_HAS_SCRIPTING is set in the top-level
CMakeLists.txt, so the variable didn't exist yet at that point and the
files were silently never compiled, only caught by an undefined-symbol
link error. Fixed by following the QtPdf file's own precedent:
compile the files unconditionally, guard their Qt::Qml-dependent
content internally instead.

## Verified

Qt6, build clean, ctest 6/6.

- Headless: a script reading project/folio/element/conductor counts,
  calling exportInfo() and exportPdf() against a real project --
  correct JSON, a real single-page PDF confirmed with `file`.
  Error paths: a thrown script exception reports file:line:message and
  exit 1; missing script/project arguments exit 2 (matching
  CLIExport's own usage-error convention); a missing project file is
  reported and does not hang.
- Corpus: the same read-model script run against all 24 shipped
  example projects, 0 failures.
- GUI: "Exécuter un script..." opens a real file dialog filtered to
  *.js, running the picked script against the live open project
  produced the exact expected JSON export file, and the application
  was still fully responsive afterward.
