Representative commits: 812e3dc6..., 06d947f8..., 6201ea71..., fc736f72..., 65a8ae10.... - Context-aware view title for drawings: Sheet/view titles omit scale for perspective drawings to reflect the actual drawing type. Commit: f2c96b65... - Dynamic render engine configuration: Removes hardcoded render engine and enables assigning render engine dynamically via config (shading_styles.json). Commit: bf717622... - SVG rendering: top element ordering for Freestyle: Improves SVG export by ordering elements to render prominently at the top and improve clarity. Commit: 1f9e3ffe... - Object selection tolerance: Adds a tolerance property to document settings and uses it for object selection to account for floating-point inaccuracies. Commit: 6f7565f6... Major bugs fixed: - Profile generation safety and validation: Ensures profiles are generated only from flat meshes with exactly one face, avoiding errors from invalid geometry. Commit: a8efc5b1... - Rendering engine default typo fix: Corrects the rendering engine setting in CreateDrawing from BLENDER_EEVEE_NEXT to BLENDER_WORKBENCH. Commit: 837f9e82... - Unlocking objects restores selectability: Fix: when spatial objects are unlocked, their hide_select is set to False so they become selectable again. Commit: e3317af5...
