Function solid_signed_volume_for_sign 

pub fn solid_signed_volume_for_sign(
    solid: &BrepSolid,
    bar: f64,
) -> Result<f64, String>

solid_signed_volume read for its SIGN against bar, as the boolean’s assembly reads it (volume <= tolerance³ refuses an inverted shell).

The exact integration spends most of a trimmed wall’s time on the sliver correction behind every chord of its rim pcurves; where such a pcurve is a straight line in uv (a bore’s rims, 85 % of the plate case’s 105 ms check: 256 chords per wall half, 442 368 correction stations in all) the sliver has no area and the correction is zero to rounding, so this reading skips it (trimmed::with_straight_corrections_skipped). Face volume and vector area terms are integrated together and retained by content, then evaluated about the same shell reference as solid_signed_volume.

Native two-sphere supports with the certified trim scope can return a positive lower bound; BREP_SPHERE_SIGN_BOUND=0|off keeps the old path. Only a comparison against bar is meaningful for that result; it is never stored in the full mass cache. If the bound cannot prove > bar, the old path runs.

The verdict is the exact check’s: when the reading sits within [SIGN_READING_MARGIN] of the magnitudes of the bar, the exact value is returned instead, bit for bit. Callers compare the result with bar.
