UPID v2 manufacturing intent

UPID v2 retains the v1 geometry and document structure. The envelope and document both declare schemaVersion: 2. It adds two controller-neutral intent values:

The host records these choices explicitly and checks exact post capabilities before generation. A post decides how to realize them. UPID carries no controller commands. Domain operations promote a v1 document to v2 when either choice is made and preserve a later supported version. Current readers accept valid v1, v2 and v3 files and reject unsupported versions or mismatched envelope and document versions. Existing saved revisions retain their exact bytes, package hash and engine version.

Engine 2 compiles new saved revisions. Engine 1 snapshots remain readable through their original compilation rules and integrity hashes; generating a controller artifact from an old snapshot requires the current compiler to accept the same plan. Otherwise the user must review and save a new revision. This keeps revision history accessible without authorizing an old unsafe route.

The v1 geometry, identity and validation rules also apply to v2. Derived contour/path-element bounds must agree with their source segments, and temporary partial-cut identities cannot replace stored geometry. These correctness checks add no serialized fields or version promotion. If a previously accepted inconsistent document or colliding historical execution plan is rejected, preserve its original and review a new project/revision instead of changing installed posts or saved snapshots.

The separate saved-process simulation does not extend UPID v2: rough stock, viewing speeds, imported machine placement and release/support assumptions remain simulation settings. Playback and approximate obstruction findings do not authorize machining or represent validated machine cycle times.
