sheet_info

Sheet detail: dims (px and pt), vector segment count, whether the sheet has vector linework (one_click floods it when present; a scanned sheet falls back to rendered pixels, disclosed as raster_traced), scale status, the detected scale suggestion, and this sheet's committed shape count. Coordinates are image px at render scale 2.0: PDF pt × 2, origin top-left, y down (the browser canvas's native space). Sheet payloads carry dims in both px and pt.

set_scale

Set a sheet's scale — exactly ONE of: label (a standard scale, e.g. '1/4" = 1'-0"'), upp (real feet per image px), calibrate (two points along a known dimension plus its real feet), or use_detected (adopt the drawn scale note read off the sheet). The detected scale is never applied automatically — setting it is always this explicit call. Coordinates are image px at render scale 2.0: PDF pt × 2, origin top-left, y down (the browser canvas's native space). Sheet payloads carry dims in both px and pt.

one_click

One-Click Area: click inside a room (image px) and the plan's vector linework bounds it — the sealed flood engine (RFC #60), contour trace, vertices snapped to true PDF endpoints. The engine's arguments are FEET-TRUE through the sheet's scale, exactly the canvas's: gap sealing bridges up to a door-width opening (disclosed as gap_sealed_px — that much boundary is synthetic), door-swing wedges annex the swing a doorway sweeps (door_wedges), and the minimum-passage rule keeps sub-half-foot slits from conjoining two rooms (min_pass_px/min_pass_delta). Every trace carries the engine's own account of itself: confidence (0..1, with confidence_factors naming what deducted) — a review PRIORITIZER, never a verification. 1.0 means every signal ran clean, not that the trace is right; a LOW confidence is a view_sheet {overlay: true} audit prompt, not a fact to bid from — put eyes on the flagged edge before the total means anything. SCANNED sheets work too (#154): where vectors can't bound the room (an image-only scan, or a scan wrapper whose only linework is the title block), the flood falls back automatically to the sheet's rendered pixels — same engine the canvas uses — and the reply plus the committed shape's origin carry raster_traced: true so a pixel-bounded ring is never mistaken for a vector-snapped one. Vector always wins where it works; a raster ring's corners are unsnapped, so audit it with view_sheet {overlay: true} before trusting the total. With the sheet's scale set, returns area_sf / perimeter_lf; pass condition (a finish tag, e.g. "CPT-1") to commit the traced shape to the takeoff — the full engine account rides the committed shape's origin, so the export tells the truth about how each shape was made. Without a scale it returns px-only quantities with a warning and commits nothing (the engine also degrades to its scale-blind fallbacks — a weaker measurement, one more reason set_scale comes first). role "deduct" makes the committed shape subtract. After committing, LOOK at what landed — view_sheet {overlay: true} — and fix an overshot ring with edit_shape before trusting any total. Coordinates are image px at render scale 2.0: PDF pt × 2, origin top-left, y down (the browser canvas's native space). Sheet payloads carry dims in both px and pt.

detect_rooms

Batch room detection: reads every room-number label off the sheet's text layer (e.g. "134", "OFFICE 101") and runs One-Click at each — one call instead of read_sheet_text + reasoning + N one_click calls. An OCR'd scan (text layer, no vector linework) floods the rendered pixels instead (#154), disclosed per room and on origin as raster_traced. A seed is only reported as a room once it survives three gates, and everything skipped is counted and reasoned in `withheld` — never dropped silently, because a room the tool tells you it skipped is a question you can ask, while one it hides is a hole in a bid. The gates: a flood that leaked or landed in dense linework never becomes a region; two labels flooding the SAME region commit once (the extra labels ride on `merged_labels` — double-counting an area is the worst failure an estimating tool has); and a flood that is enclosed and clean but smaller than min_area_sf is a room-number bubble, a door swing, or a wall cavity rather than a room. Every room floods through the SAME sealed engine a single one_click runs (RFC #60 — feet-true gap sealing, door-swing wedges, the minimum-passage rule), so a batch detection and a click at the same seed measure the same square footage; each room carries the engine's account of its own trace (confidence + confidence_factors, gap_sealed_px, door_wedges, min_pass_px/min_pass_delta), and the same account rides origin on everything committed. Confidence is a review prioritizer, never a verification — a low-confidence room is a view_sheet {overlay: true} audit prompt, not a fact to bid from. With the sheet's scale set, returns area_sf/perimeter_lf per room. Every committed room carries the room number it was traced from as the shape's `label`, so a sweep arrives already sliced by room — that field is what the Report's per-room grouping and the workbook's floor × room tab read, and it is the one thing about a batch that cannot be recovered downstream if it is dropped. TO COMMIT, choose the honest source of the finish tag: assign_from_schedule: true routes every room through its OWN room-finish schedule row and commits each under the FLOOR finish that row states — when a schedule exists in the set, THIS is the default move, because one agent-chosen tag across N rooms flattens real finish variety into a wrong bid; condition commits every room under that one stated tag (only right when the rooms genuinely share it; role "deduct" makes them subtract). Without a scale, returns px-only quantities per room and commits nothing — the plausibility floor needs real units, so it only applies once a scale is set. A batch commit is NOT finished until you have LOOKED at it: view_sheet {overlay: true}, audit every ring against the walls, fix misses with edit_shape / delete_shape — before the totals mean anything. Coordinates are image px at render scale 2.0: PDF pt × 2, origin top-left, y down (the browser canvas's native space). Sheet payloads carry dims in both px and pt.

measure_polygon

Measure a closed polygon you supply (min 3 vertices, image px): area_sf and perimeter_lf at the sheet's scale. Requires the scale to be set. Pass condition to commit it; role "deduct" subtracts. Coordinates are image px at render scale 2.0: PDF pt × 2, origin top-left, y down (the browser canvas's native space). Sheet payloads carry dims in both px and pt.

cut_out

Cut a REAL hole in a committed floor_area shape (#206) — the way the canvas cuts one (#137): the same lib/cutout.js boolean subtract, so the two surfaces can never disagree about what a hole holds. The parent keeps its outer ring plus the reconciled hole(s) (verts_norm_holes), its computed nets for real — N cuts compose, overlap between cuts never double-deducts (set subtraction), a hole ADDS perimeter — and the deduct commits carrying cuts_shape_id so the report and legend read the reconciled number, never a second arithmetic pass. This is the verb for a column, a floor drain, an island of casework INSIDE a room; an independent measure_polygon role:"deduct" stays the tool for a deduction that isn't a hole in one parent. Refusal over guessing: the ring must sit FULLY inside the parent's outer ring (an edge-crossing cut is a boundary correction — edit_shape the parent instead), and a cut that would erase the parent or split it in two refuses whole (trace the pieces as rooms). One journal entry — undo_last restores parent and hole together; delete_shape on the deduct later reverts the cut too (a multi-cut parent rebuilds from the chain's pristine snapshot minus the survivors). Coordinates are image px at render scale 2.0: PDF pt × 2, origin top-left, y down (the browser canvas's native space). Sheet payloads carry dims in both px and pt.

measure_line

Measure an open polyline (min 2 points, image px): length_lf at the sheet's scale. Requires the scale to be set. Pass condition to commit it as a linear shape (base, transitions, feature strips). Coordinates are image px at render scale 2.0: PDF pt × 2, origin top-left, y down (the browser canvas's native space). Sheet payloads carry dims in both px and pt.

measure_surface

Surface Area — wall SF (#146): trace an OPEN run along the wall in plan view (min 2 points, image px) and the quantity is traced LF × height. This is how wall tile, wainscot, and wall systems are taken off — the quantity family one_click and measure_polygon cannot produce. Height lives on the CONDITION (the canvas's H knob): pass height_ft to set it on this call (journals as its own undo step, like typing H before tracing), or set it once with edit_condition; with neither, this refuses and mints nothing. The shape snapshots the height it was quantified at. Requires the sheet's scale. Coordinates are image px at render scale 2.0: PDF pt × 2, origin top-left, y down (the browser canvas's native space). Sheet payloads carry dims in both px and pt.

place_count

Count markers — EA (#146): one point, one each. Thresholds, stair nosings, floor boxes, entrance mats — the scale-free quantity family. Commits one count shape per point (computed {count: 1}, exactly the canvas's Count tool), NO scale required, and the whole call is ONE undo step like a detect_rooms sweep. takeoff_summary reports them as ea; the marked set draws each marker. Coordinates are image px at render scale 2.0: PDF pt × 2, origin top-left, y down (the browser canvas's native space). Sheet payloads carry dims in both px and pt.

symbol_sweep

Find EVERY instance of a repeated plan symbol from ONE example — drains, thresholds, fixtures, transition markers: marquee a tight seed_rect around a single instance and the vector linework is searched for every other placement of that same segment cluster. Deterministic geometry, not vision: each placement scores as the length-weighted fraction of the seed's segments reproduced within tolerance_px, under translation plus 0/90/180/270 rotation and mirroring (symbols rotate on plans — both ON by default; turn them off to pin orientation). Score ≥ 0.92 is a match; the 0.75–0.92 band comes back in `withheld` with a reason — a near-match is a question you answer by LOOKING (view_sheet at its `at`), never a silent commit and never a silent drop. The seed's own location is reported in `seed` and never double-committed. Work is capped and the cap is disclosed: a reply with candidates.dropped > 0 says exactly that some placements were never scored — tighten the seed rect around more distinctive geometry rather than trusting a truncated count. Marquee discipline: the rect must hug ONE instance — only segments FULLY inside it define the symbol, so a loose rect that swallows wall linework fingerprints the wall, not the symbol. scope "set" sweeps the WHOLE working set, counting on PLAN-role sheets only (the sheet graph decides): a symbol drawn in a detail, legend, or schedule is a reference drawing and never counts itself — which is also how you seed from one: marquee the assembly on the detail sheet and its plan-sheet occurrences are counted while the detail stays excluded (the exclusion disclosed in `skipped`, per-sheet results with per-sheet caps and wall-clock in `sheets`). Scale across sheets: the fingerprint is size-true and is never scale-SEARCHED, so a detail drawn at 1-1/2" = 1'-0" is 12× the size of the same mark on a 1/8" plan — when BOTH sheets have a scale set, the exact ratio is computed from them and the seed is resized before matching (reported per sheet as `scaled`); when a scale is missing, the sweep runs at 1:1 and SAYS so (`scale_assumed`), because an unknown ratio plus a zero count is not evidence of absence. Seeding from a detail/legend/schedule sheet REFUSES outright until both scales are set — that is the case where an unstated ratio silently finds nothing. commit: true (requires condition) commits every match center as an EA count marker through the same path as place_count — the whole sweep (set-wide included) is ONE undo step, each marker carries origin.method "symbol_sweep" with its score, transform, and seed source, and withheld placements are NEVER committed. The COUNT is scale-free (EA), but matching across sheets of different scales is not — set_scale on the sheets involved is what turns the ratio from an assumption into arithmetic. After any batch commit, LOOK at what landed — view_sheet {overlay: true} over the swept area — and audit the markers against the drawing before trusting the EA total. Coordinates are image px at render scale 2.0: PDF pt × 2, origin top-left, y down (the browser canvas's native space). Sheet payloads carry dims in both px and pt.

sweep_schedule_row

Take off a schedule row's mark from the row itself — the estimator's own gesture: a transition type sometimes exists only as a schedule row plus tag markers scattered across the plan sheets, and this tool mints the condition FROM the row and finds every occurrence. Pass the row's key (e.g. 'T1') and the tool (1) reads the row from the set's schedule tables (the sheet_graph/find_schedule machinery — the row is the condition's cited source), (2) anchors a geometric fingerprint on the marker the tag is DRAWN as on a plan sheet (a deterministic pad ladder around the tag text; where the tag occurs more than once the fingerprint must recur at a second occurrence before it is trusted — `anchor.corroborated`), and (3) sweeps every PLAN-role sheet for it. The count is geometry AND text agreeing: drafting reuses one bubble shape across many marks, so a match counts ONLY when the row's own tag sits within the marker footprint (its bbox rides the match as `tag_at` evidence); a match labeled with a SIBLING row's tag is excluded and says whose it is, an unlabeled match is withheld as a question, and a tag drawn with no matching marker is disclosed as text_only. REFUSAL over guessing, with the reason and the fix: no such row; the same key in two tables (ambiguous); a tag drawn on no plan sheet; no repeatable marker linework around the tag — a fingerprint is never guessed from text alone (the fallback is always: marquee one instance with symbol_sweep). commit: true commits the counted matches as EA markers under the row's own key — one undo step for the whole set-wide sweep, every marker carrying origin.assignment {source: "schedule"} plus the anchor and row citation on origin.symbol.seed. The COUNT is scale-free (EA), but matching is not: where the anchor sheet and a target sheet both carry a scale, the marker is resized by their exact ratio before matching (`scaled` per sheet), and where one does not, the sweep runs at 1:1 and discloses it (`scale_assumed`) rather than reporting a confident zero. After committing, LOOK: view_sheet {overlay: true} over each swept sheet. Coordinates are image px at render scale 2.0: PDF pt × 2, origin top-left, y down (the browser canvas's native space). Sheet payloads carry dims in both px and pt.
