Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are identified. Start by mapping the CadQuery/Build123d-to-OCCT boundary and reviewing existing logging or tracing facilities, then agree on the scope, default-off behavior, and diagnostic output needed before defining completion criteria.

Description

Hi @adam-urbanczyk,
we would like to suggest additional tracing / logging calls in this or another fitting library between CadQuery/Build123d and OCCT.
The idea is to catch and investigate strange behaviour in OCCT and getting good examples to either build OCCT fixes or improve the usage of CadQuery and Build123d.

I would be willing to support or contribute the work. I am able to do it in Python or C++ being a Software-Engineer since 20 Year.
My opinion is that it would be best done in Python though I am open for other suggestions.

The tracing and logging should be definitively default off and only be used if an error occurs.

What is you take on that?

Thanks for all your great work and contribution
Sincerely from Germany
Felix
