qet_recording_list and qet_recording_read fetch what QElectroTech's macro
recorder saved: each step from the undo history as structured changes
(consecutive folio states diffed with qet_diff), and the overall change
from before.qet to after.qet. qet_recording_check runs a script on a copy
of before.qet from where the person started -- the folio on screen (a
proxy answers qet.currentFolio(), which a Qt object will not let a script
replace) and the selection -- and says whether the result matches
after.qet, or what differs. qet_recording_remove deletes one.

QElectroTech now advertises its live channel in the "live" part of
qet-assistant.json instead of a live-session.json of its own. When nothing
is listening, the error now tells apart QElectroTech not running, live
mode switched off, and the start-up warning not accepted.

QElectroTech now writes qet-assistant.json with its folders, features,
script calls and stored scripts. The server reads it to find the scripts
folder -- right even when QElectroTech runs with --data-dir, where the
per-platform guess was wrong -- and qet_about shows it, never the live
token. The initialize reply now carries instructions: what QElectroTech
is, headless and live, the usual order of tools, start with qet_about.

qet_live_status, qet_live_run_script and qet_live_run_stored talk to a
running QElectroTech through the channel its LiveServer opens, only when
live mode is switched on in its settings and accepted at this start. They
find it through live-session.json in QElectroTech's data folder and send
its token on every request; with no session, the error says which of the
three switches is missing. Running needs QET_ENABLE_SCRIPTING=1 as editing
does; asking for the status does not.

Checked against a real Windows package under Wine: QElectroTech keeps its
data in %APPDATA%\QElectroTech\QElectroTech, next to which the scripts
folder goes.

qet_script_api lists every qet.* call, asked of the QElectroTech that will
run it (qet.apiSignatures() where the build has it, names otherwise), with
the header format that makes a script a button.
qet_script_test runs a script's text on a copy of a project and returns the
qet_diff of what it changed, its log and its errors with their line.
qet_script_install stores a script, and optionally an SVG icon, in the
scripts folder QElectroTech reads; with test_project it tests first and
stores nothing if the test fails. qet_script_list, qet_script_read and
qet_script_remove complete the set.
The folder is the server's choice, never the call's: ids are checked as
file names, and storing or removing needs QET_ENABLE_SCRIPTING=1 like an
edit, because a stored script runs when the user clicks it. A header is
checked with the same rules as QElectroTech's own, so nothing is stored
that would get no button.

The "one text per potential" switch (onetextperfolio) lives in a folio's
conductor defaults, which no scripting call or qet_edit op could reach, so
callers patched the saved .qet afterwards (#1178).
qet.setConductorDefault(folio, property, value) sets onetextperfolio or any
setConductorProperty name on a folio's defaults, or with folio -1 on the
project's defaults that new folios copy. A change to onetextperfolio
re-shows or hides the conductor texts at once, as the Folio properties
dialog does. Not on the undo stack, like both dialogs.

The MCP server gives each QElectroTech run a private HOME and writes the
element collection path for it (elements_dir) into
~/.config/QElectroTech/QElectroTech.conf there. Only Linux reads that
file: Qt keeps settings in the registry on Windows and in the system
preferences on macOS. So on those systems elements_dir did nothing, and
every run read the user's own settings (#1178).
When QET_SETTINGS_DIR names a folder, QElectroTech now keeps its
settings in <folder>/QElectroTech/QElectroTech.ini on every system. It is
set in main() before the first setting is read. Without the variable
nothing changes.
The server sets it for each run and writes the collection path to the
.ini as well as the .conf, so an older QElectroTech keeps working on
Linux. The path is written with forward slashes: Qt reads a backslash in
these files as an escape. The README notes that elements_dir needs this
on Windows and macOS, and that long arguments go on stdin with "-"
(Windows refuses a command line over 32,767 characters).
tst_settingsdir: a script places a symbol that only the folder's settings
can resolve, while the usual settings file points at an empty collection.
It fails on master and passes here.

The seven Edit > Align commands (Snap to grid and the six align
commands, discussion #1069) had no icons: the menu, the context menu,
command search and the shortcut bar showed them as bare text.
They are pixel-grid SVGs in ico/scalable/ drawn like the folio and
Add PDF icons: 24 pixel canvas, art on the inner 22 pixel grid, one
currentColor ink so misc/make_icon_themes.py writes the dark copies.
Each align icon is a guide line with two boxes of different lengths
against it; the centre ones show the guide only between the boxes.
Snap to grid is a faint grid with one box sitting exactly on a cell.
The boxes have a solid outline and a 35 % tinted inside, which keeps
the guide the strongest mark at 16 pixels.
Names follow the freedesktop icon names (align-horizontal-left, ...).

The Windows portable ZIP ships "Lancer QET_qt6.bat", but the script only
looked for "Lancer QET.bat", so it stopped at its first check and never
registered anything. It now tries the ZIP's name first and falls back to
the installer's.
It also wrote to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, which a standard (non-admin) Windows
account cannot create keys in. It now writes to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes: per-user, no elevation needed, and
Windows merges it into HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT for that user.
qet_uninstall_file_associations.reg removes the HKCU keys first, then the
old HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT ones as before.
Tested under Wine 10 on the git10275 nightly ZIP: the old script aborts
("Lancer QET.bat ... n'a pas ete trouve"), the new one registers .qet,
.elmt and .titleblock under HKCU with nothing under HKLM, the uninstall
file removes them, and the "Lancer QET.bat" fallback works. Wine does not
enforce admin rights, so the non-admin case itself is not proven there.
Reported in #1148.

On Windows every tool that starts QElectroTech (qet_export, qet_edit,
qet_query, qet_check, qet_continuity, qet_project_new) failed, for two
reasons:
- The server ran a copy of the executable from a temporary folder, to get
its own SingleApplication key. A Windows program loads its DLLs from its
own folder, so the copy died before main() with 0xC0000135 (DLL not
found). Every flag the server passes is a CLI export flag or --run, and
main.cpp handles both before it constructs SingleApplication, so on
Windows the original is now run. The copy stays elsewhere.
- It set QT_QPA_PLATFORM=offscreen. The Windows packages ship only the
qwindows platform plugin, so Qt found none and stopped at a message box
nobody could close: every call hung until its timeout. Windows now keeps
its default platform; the export flags and --run open no window.
Checked under Wine (qet-wine-smoke) on the fork's CI Windows build, run
through python.org's embeddable Python: before, qet_export ended with
exit 3221225781; after, a PDF export, a qet_query (98 elements, as on
Linux) and a qet_edit placing a common:// element all succeed. The hang
was isolated by launching the same export from bash (works) and from
Python with one change at a time: only dropping QT_QPA_PLATFORM made it
work. Four unit tests pin both choices per platform; each fails with its
fix removed. Suite 262/262 none skipped on Linux.

A mutation audit of the functions no audit had covered (tests needing no
QElectroTech): these 13 caught 153 of 337 planted bugs (45 %). With these
tests, 322 (96 %). qet_check was at 26/59 and qet_continuity at 24/37
even with the binary tests, since those look at a finding or two.
- qet_check / qet_continuity: _run_qet replaced by a stub returning chosen
log lines, so the whole answer is compared -- summary counts, "ok",
passed, check_failures, each finding's count, note and sampled rows,
sorting by severity, folio_number, the launch hint carried through,
the folio argument in the script, folio bounds, and lines that only
look like ours.
- qet_element_build / qet_element_info: the written header, names, kind
information and terminals, and the reported result, key for key; the
refusals; geometry worked out by hand; every part kind's extent and
written attributes; number formatting.
- qet_element_search and its index: the index entry key for key, the
cache, ranking (exact name, then first word, then length), the default
and given limits.
The 15 left are equivalent: timeouts and output limits, a ranking
constant that only has to exceed 0, and a containment check the 5-unit
margin keeps from ever failing. Tests only; 282/282.

Most Windows users have no Python, which the MCP server needs. The
installer now offers "Python for the AI assistant", unticked by default:
the official embeddable package from python.org (3.14.7, ~12 MB, no
registry, removed with QElectroTech), in <folder>\mcp\python. The
portable folder and the MSI, which pack all of files/, carry it.
The workflow downloads it pinned by version and by python.org's own
sha256 for the file (checked against python.org's download API), and
fails the build on a mismatch. The script stays plain text beside it.
Checked under Wine (64-bit, qet-wine-smoke image), on an installer built
with makensis 3.10 (0 warnings, strings in all 29 languages):
- a silent default install puts mcp\qet_mcp.py in place and no Python;
the same installer with the section ticked by default installs it, so
the check tells the two apart;
- the installed Python runs the installed server: 15 tools listed,
qet_project_info on an example answers as on Linux, and the server
finds bin\QElectroTech.exe and elements\ by itself.
Not checked: a real Windows machine; the CI download step (fork run).

The MCP server (misc/qet-mcp) was only reachable from a source checkout.
It now ships with every package, next to the program, and finds that
QElectroTech and its element collection from where it sits:
- make install (Linux distributions, snap, flatpak):
<prefix>/share/qelectrotech/mcp/qet_mcp.py, executable, with its README.
- Windows installer: a new "AI assistant (MCP)" component (on by default,
~200 KB), installed to <folder>\mcp. The workflow stages files/mcp, so
the portable folder and the MSI, which packs all of files/, carry it too.
The server learns the Windows layout (<root>/mcp beside <root>/bin, whose
program is QElectroTech.exe, and <root>/elements), in addition to
<prefix>/share/qelectrotech/mcp. A copy saved anywhere else, even beside
some bin/ folder, is not taken for an installation.
The installer strings are given in all 29 installer languages: French
translated, the others in English until translated, which is what NSIS
would fall back to anyway but without its warning 6040 per language.
Checked: make install into a scratch prefix, then from the installed
script with nothing configured and no qelectrotech on PATH, an SVG export
and a qet_edit placing a common:// element both succeeded. makensis 3.10
compiles the installer with 0 warnings before and after (removing the
French description gives warning 6040), and the installer contains
mcp/qet_mcp.py. Suite 274/274 none skipped; each layout check was
removed in turn and a test failed. Snap/flatpak: installed by the same
CMake rule; launching their QElectroTech from outside is untested.

qet_export, qet_edit, qet_query, qet_continuity, qet_check and
qet_project_new took the QElectroTech executable as a per-call argument
and ran whatever executable file it named, with the call's own paths as
arguments. The workspace policy exempted it as configuration, but it is
chosen by the model on every call, so text inside a project could steer
an assistant into starting another program.
The server now finds QElectroTech itself: QET_BINARY, then the install it
ships in (<prefix>/share/qelectrotech/mcp/), then PATH. "binary" becomes
optional; when given it must be that same file (after resolving
symlinks) or one listed in QET_MCP_BINARIES. QET_MCP_ALLOW_ANY_BINARY=1
restores the old behaviour, as QET_MCP_ALLOW_ANY_PATH does for paths.
"elements_dir" defaults to the installed collection and, when given, must
be in the workspace, that collection, or QET_MCP_ELEMENTS.
Both checks live in enforce_path_policy(), the one place tool arguments
enter. test_configuration_paths_are_exempt asserted the old exemption and
is replaced by BinaryPolicy (13 tests) and a stdio test of the original
reproduction. Each new check was removed in turn and the tests failed.

tools/qet-mcp-audit/mutate.py over the code changed since #1095
(_build_script, the diff helpers, _parse_script_output, tool_items and
the wire-end keys of #1118), tests needing no QElectroTech only: master
f530b7636's suite noticed 531 of 578 planted bugs (92 %). With these
tests, 568 (98 %). The 10 left are equivalent: rsplit("/", 1) vs 2, a
1e-6 tolerance compared with < or <=, a one-letter orientation sliced
[:1] or [:2], branches that only touch parts without terminals, and the
placeholder terminal 0 a conductor uuid overwrites.
- Every argument kind refuses what it cannot take, before any launch:
malformed indices, bool, points and nodes, search_and_replace with an
unknown kind or conductor field or an empty element_info field,
"conductor" given with "element" or "terminal" alone, an op that is not
an object -- and the same kinds accept what they should.
- _parse_script_output reports capabilities (none logged = unknown, not
"nothing missing"), notes on the right op, save and stopped_early;
ignores a line without the marker even when it would parse, and a line
of a kind it does not know.
- A uuid wire end in a column of terminals (same x) keys like the
numbered one: the match is on x, y and orientation together.
Tests only; 264/264.

The "$id" of an add_folio or insert_folio held the index the folio had
when it was made, so a later insert_folio or remove_folio in the same
qet_edit run shifted it, and ops naming "$id" edited the wrong folio --
the case #1115 fixed for folios given by uuid, left open for these.
The script now also keeps such a folio's uuid (qet.folioUuid()) and
resolves "$id", where an op takes a folio, through qet.folioIndex() at
the moment it is used. On a build without folioUuid() it falls back to
the stored index, as before, and nothing new is required of the binary.
The op's reported result is still the index.
Test: add_folio "$f" (index 1), insert_folio at 0, set_folio_title
"$f": the title lands on the third folio -- on the second without this
change. Two script-generation tests updated for the new expression.
255/255.

A web chat in a browser cannot start a local program, so it cannot run
this server. Two ways round that, documented in the README:
- the Claude desktop app runs stdio servers; a step-by-step setup;
- a chat that can execute Python can upload qet_mcp.py and run
`--call <tool> '<json>'` (or `-` to read the arguments from stdin).
--call goes through the same dispatcher as the stdio server, so the
workspace policy applies unchanged. Exit status 0 success, 1 the tool
reported an error, 2 the call was malformed.

Review of the previous commit: an add_conductor with both terminal uuids
wrong logged two notes under one op index and the second replaced the
first, and neither said which end it was about. Notes of one op are now
joined, and a terminal note starts with its argument ("from_terminal:",
"to_terminal:", "terminal:"). The integration test's both-ends case fails
with the old replacing behaviour.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
"terminal", "from_terminal" and "to_terminal" take the terminal's uuid
(as qet_element_info lists it) in place of its index. It names a
terminal of the op's own element -- for add_conductor, of that end's
element, "$name" references included -- and is turned at run time into
the index the call takes by qet.terminalIndex(); if the element has no
such terminal the op fails with a note. Unlike the index, a sort by
position, it is defined between two terminals at the same point. The
lookup is required only when a uuid is used, so index-only edits still
run on older builds.
README: the terminal uuids; wires of older projects now get a lasting
uuid (#1107) instead of staying unnamed.
Tests: script generation for every terminal-taking op, "$name" and folio
uuid resolution, the index still passed through; through the binary,
bobine_ka_a_remanence (file order A2, A1; index order A1, A2) wired A2 to
A1 by uuid lands on exactly those ends, and an unknown uuid stops the run
with its note. 255/255 against a build with qet.terminalIndex(); a build
without it is reported as missing it.

Review of the previous commit:
- The load fallback compared a saved uuid with occurrence 0 only, so a
wire on the second of two terminals at one point of a symbol was lost
once the definition was replaced, and one on the first could go to
either of the pair (Element::m_terminals is sorted, not in definition
order). Element::parseTerminal() now records each terminal's rank among
the terminals of the definition at the same point, derivedUuid() uses
it, and fillMissing() starts from the same rank.
derivedUuidFoundAfterReplacement runs on perceuse.qet and industrial.qet
too: 154/156 and 670/671 wires without the rank, all with it.
qet-mcp: the first save of an older project now rewrites its wires from
the numbered form to the uuid form, and qet_diff keyed the two forms
differently, so an untouched resave showed every wire removed and added
(4 failures in test_qet_mcp.py). A uuid end is now resolved to the same
key as a numbered one: the terminal's definition position, moved to where
the wire docks, is the placed symbol's <terminal> record.
test_conductor_key_same_in_both_forms fails without it; 253/253 pass on
this build and on the previous stage's.

qet_edit takes a folio as its index, and the index shifts when an earlier
op in the same run adds, inserts or removes a folio: remove folio 0, then
edit "folio 2", and the edit lands on the folio that was 3. Every other
item qet_edit addresses (elements, texts, shapes, pictures, tables, symbol
text fields) can already be named by uuid; folios could not.
- "folio" and "to_folio" take the folio's uuid as well as its index,
turned into the current index at run time by qet.folioIndex(). The
lookup is required only when a uuid is used, so an index-only edit still
runs on a build without it.
- qet_project_info lists each folio's uuid. A folio saved without one
(132 of the 133 in the shipped examples) shows it empty until the
project is saved once, and an empty "folio" says so.
Tests: the generated script for a uuid folio, on its own and inside a
table lookup and link_elements' to_folio; and a real run that removes
folio 0 and then retitles the old folio 2 by uuid, on a file saved without
folio uuids. The run fails against a build without qet.folioIndex().
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Every scripting call names a folio by its index, and the index shifts when
a folio is added, removed or moved: a script that removes folio 0 and then
edits "folio 2" edits the wrong one. Texts, shapes, pictures, tables and
symbol text fields already have a uuid lookup for the same reason; folios
had none.
- qet.folioUuid(index): the folio's uuid, or "".
- qet.folioIndex(uuid): the folio's current index, or -1.
A folio saved without a uuid (132 of the 133 in the shipped examples) is
given one on load, derived from the file, so it is the same on every load
and is written on the next save. No two folios share one: a clash is
renewed on load.
Tests in misc/qet-mcp's integration suite, which drives these through
--run: a folio followed across the removal of the one before it, on a file
saved without folio uuids, and a new folio's uuid found in the saved file.
Both fail against a build without this change.

- An end conductorEnds() reports as "?" is never picked.
- An empty "conductor" says why: an older project's conductors have no
saved uuid, so qet_conductors reports it empty.
- The op description and README say set_conductor still changes the
whole potential when given a uuid, and that older projects' conductors
are named by element + terminal until #1103.
- test_conductor_by_uuid covers move_conductor_segment.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
set_conductor, move_conductor_segment and delete_conductor named a
conductor by one of its terminals, which had to carry exactly one
conductor: where two meet at a terminal, neither could be named from it.
Each now also takes "conductor": "{uuid}" (as qet_conductors reports it)
in place of element + terminal. The generated script asks
qet.conductorEnds() for the conductor's two ends and passes the one whose
terminal carries only that conductor. Where both ends are shared, or no
conductor has that uuid, the op fails and its "note" says which. The
lookup is required only when a uuid is used; giving both forms is an
error.
Tests: the script generated for each form and the argument errors; on a
folio where one terminal carries two conductors, deleting either by uuid
leaves exactly the other; an unknown uuid is reported. With the end chosen
without checking its terminal carries only that conductor, the terminal
test fails. 248/248 with a build carrying qet.conductorEnds().
Stacked on the conductorUuids()/conductorEnds() scripting change.

Conflict in _extras(): keep master's tables and folio uuids and _angle(),
and read only the folio's own inputs/shapes/images as this branch does.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
set_table_position and delete_table took a table's index, and
set_element_text / delete_element_text a text field's index. An index
shifts when an earlier item is deleted, so a run that deletes table 0 and
then moves "table 1" moved the wrong table.
Each now also takes the item's uuid, resolved at run time through
qet.tableIndex() and qet.elementTextIndex() (the previous commit), as
texts, shapes and pictures already are through textIndex() and friends. A
text field's lookup is scoped to the op's element, since copies of a symbol
share their fields' uuids. An index still works, and a build without the
lookups is refused with the usual missing-methods hint only when a uuid is
actually used.
Tests: the generated script (no binary), and end to end: delete one table
then move the other, both by uuid; and edit one copy's shared field by uuid,
leaving the other copy's untouched.
