Description

Two defects from #468 in the FreeCAD harness's macro generator (utils/freecad_macro_gen.py).

A: part boolean never produced geometry. parts.boolean_op stores the result in project["parts"] with type set to cut/fuse/common and params.base_id/tool_id. _gen_parts only knew primitives, so the result was written out as # WARNING: Unknown part type 'cut'. (_gen_boolean_ops reads a separate boolean_ops list that part boolean doesn't fill.) _gen_parts now emits Part::Cut / Part::Fuse / Part::Common for these parts, looking up the operands by id. The operands are always earlier parts, so they already exist at that point.

B: export included intermediate shapes. _gen_export collected every object with a valid Shape, so boolean operands and every PartDesign feature solid were exported along with the final result. It now skips objects with a non-empty InList, meaning objects another object consumes (boolean operands, features inside a Body, the Body's origin). Standalone parts are still exported as before.

Measured with real FreeCAD 1.1.4 (freecadcmd) on the repro from the issue (40×30×20 box minus an r=6 cylinder, expected 24000 − π·6²·20 = 21738.05 mm³):

path	before	after
part add ×2 + part boolean cut	27391.4 mm³ (box + cylinder, no cut)	21739.0 mm³
body additive-box + subtractive-cylinder	67478.0 mm³, 1052 triangles	21739.0 mm³, 520 triangles

These match the numbers in the issue.

Fixes #468 (defects A and B; I didn't touch the secondary notes 4–6).

Type of Change

• Bug Fix: fixes incorrect behavior

Testing

• TestIntermediateFiles::test_boolean_part_emits_freecad_boolean: the macro builds Part::Cut with the right Base/Tool (no FreeCAD needed).
• TestFreeCADBackend::test_export_boolean_cut_stl_is_the_cut_solid and test_export_body_stl_excludes_intermediate_features: export to STL and check the mesh volume against the expected solid.
• All three fail before the change and pass after (with FREECAD_PATH pointing at FreeCAD 1.1.4). The full cli_anything/freecad/tests suite gives 109 passed, 6 skipped.

I used an AI assistant to help write this change. I reproduced both defects with real FreeCAD and checked the fix and tests myself.
