1//! STRUCTURED STEP export: write a product structure, not just bodies.
2//!
3//! The flat writer ([`super::export_step_report_named`]) puts every body of the
4//! document into ONE `PRODUCT`. That is the right answer for a part, and the
5//! wrong one for an assembly: a nested assembly came out as a bag of bodies at
6//! their world positions, with the parts library, the instance count and the
7//! hierarchy all discarded.
8//!
9//! This module is the other answer. It takes a [`StepAssemblyExport`] — one
10//! [`StepExportProduct`] per distinct part holding that part's bodies IN ITS OWN
11//! LOCAL FRAME, plus one [`StepExportOccurrence`] per placement — and writes the
12//! AP242 graph the importer (`io/step_import/`) reads back:
13//!
14//! ```text
15//!   PRODUCT -> PRODUCT_DEFINITION_FORMATION -> PRODUCT_DEFINITION
16//!       -> PRODUCT_DEFINITION_SHAPE -> SHAPE_DEFINITION_REPRESENTATION
17//!       -> ADVANCED_BREP_SHAPE_REPRESENTATION (the part's own bodies)
18//!
19//!   NEXT_ASSEMBLY_USAGE_OCCURRENCE(parent_pd, child_pd)
20//!       <- PRODUCT_DEFINITION_SHAPE('NAUO PRDDFN')
21//!       <- CONTEXT_DEPENDENT_SHAPE_REPRESENTATION
22//!       -> ( REPRESENTATION_RELATIONSHIP(child_rep, parent_rep)
23//!            REPRESENTATION_RELATIONSHIP_WITH_TRANSFORMATION(
24//!              ITEM_DEFINED_TRANSFORMATION(identity_axis, placement_axis) )
25//!            SHAPE_REPRESENTATION_RELATIONSHIP() )
26//! ```
27//!
28//! # The placement convention, and why it is copied rather than chosen
29//!
30//! A reader composes `T = M(item_2) · M(item_1)⁻¹` to map `rep_1` into `rep_2`.
31//! With `rep_1` the CHILD and `item_1` the identity axis, `T` is simply
32//! `M(item_2)` — the child's frame expressed in the parent. That ordering is
33//! taken from the `as1-ug-214` vendor fixture
34//! (`REPRESENTATION_RELATIONSHIP(' ',' ',#213 /* rod */,#219 /* rod_assem */)`
35//! with `ITEM_DEFINED_TRANSFORMATION(' ',' ',#1041 /* identity */,#1109)`), NOT
36//! from our own importer: `resolve_rep_rel_transform` reorients using the
37//! child's known root representation, so a self round-trip would have passed
38//! with the ordering reversed and told us nothing.
39//!
40//! For the same reason `item_1`/`item_2` are ITEMS of the reps they belong to —
41//! the identity axis is the first item of every representation this writer
42//! emits, and each occurrence's placement axis is pushed into its PARENT's item
43//! list. A conformance checker requires exactly that.
44//!
45//! # Naming, and what PMI resolves against
46//!
47//! A part's bodies, faces and edges keep the part's OWN names — `Extrude1_top`,
48//! not `ACOMP3:Extrude1_top` — because they are written into the part's product,
49//! where the component namespace does not apply. The document still refers to
50//! them by the namespaced name, so [`StepAssemblyExport::occurrence_paths`]
51//! walks the graph and registers every entity under EVERY chained occurrence
52//! path that reaches it (`ACOMP3:`, `ACOMP5:ACOMP1:`), with the vertex points
53//! moved into root space so a `{body}@x,y,z` reference still matches. Two
54//! instances of one part share the part's entities, so `ACOMP3:top` and
55//! `ACOMP4:top` resolve to the SAME `ADVANCED_FACE`.
56//!
57//! They are not the same ANNOTATION, though, and PMI is written accordingly:
58//!
59//! - a PART's own annotations ([`StepExportProduct::pmi`], from the part
60//!   document's `pmi` block) are written into that part's product, with the
61//!   part's own names and its own draughting model — once, however many
62//!   instances place it;
63//! - the ROOT document's annotations are written through the occurrence paths,
64//!   and a reference that reaches a part through an occurrence hangs its
65//!   `SHAPE_ASPECT` off THAT occurrence's `PRODUCT_DEFINITION_SHAPE` (the
66//!   `'NAUO PRDDFN'` one), not the part's. The `GEOMETRIC_ITEM_SPECIFIC_USAGE`
67//!   still points at the part's face; only the owner says which instance is
68//!   meant, and it is the only place that can say it.
69//!
70//! `io/step_import/assembly_pmi.rs` reads exactly that distinction back, which
71//! is what makes an assembly's PMI survive export → import unchanged.
