From 7cce9653aa4c3146ee669a5f28b65c7be1841892 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: TMHSDigital <154358121+TMHSDigital@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Tue, 22 Sep 2026 07:07:11 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 1/6] fix: correct the inverted EEVEE engine id in shipping-crate eevee_engine_id() keyed on >= (4, 2, 0) and returned 'BLENDER_EEVEE_NEXT' for every version at or above it. Blender 5.x reclaimed the plain 'BLENDER_EEVEE' id and no longer offers 'BLENDER_EEVEE_NEXT', so the --output path died on 5.1 and 5.2: TypeError: bpy_struct: item.attr = val: enum "BLENDER_EEVEE_NEXT" not found in ('BLENDER_EEVEE', 'BLENDER_WORKBENCH', 'CYCLES') Smoke stayed green because smoke never passes --output. The correct mapping is already witnessed in the tree: examples/swatch-grid asserts both the chosen id and the other era's id against the running build. Use its form and name it as the source, per the copied-not-imported convention the hygiene helpers already follow. shipping-crate is the pilot piece the other 27 were modelled on, which is how one inverted ternary propagated.

That is how an inverted engine id shipped twice. tests/smoke/run_smoke.py already asserts the mapping against the running build, but against its own copy of the helper. It cannot see the other copies, and showcase and example scripts are standalone by convention, so each carries its own. Eighty-four mappings across eighty-three files. This checker closes that gap at zero render cost. It walks examples/, showcase/, templates/, snippets/, scripts/ and tests/, and for every function that resolves an EEVEE id it compiles and *calls* the function twice against a stubbed bpy.app.version of (4, 5, 11) and (5, 2, 1); conditional expressions yielding an id are evaluated the same way. AST rather than regex, deliberately. A line-oriented regex misreads the if/return form as two independent branches and flags snippets/version-branch-skeleton.py, which is correct. Calling the code is the only reading that cannot be fooled by formatting. Resolver detection is narrow on purpose: only a body of returns and version branches qualifies, so a main() that merely mentions the id is not compiled and does not need the module's imports. Three deliberately inverted mappings exist — swatch-grid, turntable and gn-sdf-remesh each assert that the *other* era's id is rejected by the build. Those now carry an explicit `# engine-id-exempt:` marker, so the intent is stated in the source rather than inferred by the checker. Canary-proven.

A falsifier that exits non-zero on an earlier budget is red for the wrong reason and proves nothing about its target, and the exit code is right there to catch it. Documents the rule in CONTRIBUTING.md and showcase/README.md, with --off-circle replacing --flat-arch as the worked example: a lintel is 0.62 m shorter than the arch, so it failed the bounding box (exit 8) and never reached the intrados circle fit (exit 19). Widening the bbox tolerance would have destroyed a real budget to rescue a bad falsifier. The rule is explicit that the fix is the model or the falsifier, never the band. tests/check_falsifier_targets.py enforces it in two modes, one checker rather than a parallel harness: - static (default, no Blender, runs in validate.yml): reads each piece's falsifier table and asserts the flags are real argparse flags, the declared exit codes appear in that piece's exit-code table, every falsifier names a target budget, and no falsifier-shaped flag in the script is undocumented. 160 falsifiers across 25 pieces. - --run BLENDER: executes each falsifier and asserts the observed exit equals the declared one. This is the mode that catches an ill-aimed falsifier. One Blender launch per falsifier, about 150 s for the tree on one version, so it is an authoring and cron tool rather than a per-PR smoke step. No blender-smoke.yml change. Table parsing is header-aware, not positional: wooden-ladder's four-column "Falsifier | Budget violated | Exit | Measured failure" is as valid as the three-column form, and an earlier positional regex silently read it as having no exit column at all. The bidirectional variant — requiring each exit-code row to name its falsifier — was tried and dropped. It would have forced a format change across 23 READMEs to state something the falsifier table's own target column already carries. cart, hay-bale and stone-well predate the convention and have no table. They are listed explicitly in the checker and reported on every run; a new piece without a table is an error rather than an entry in that list. Canary-proven at runtime.
