Recover after enabling paint without a selection
When paint_set_enabled is called before a mesh is selected, setTexturePaintEnabled(true) leaves m_paintEnabled set even though no session was created. After the caller follows the returned advice and loads/selects a mesh, retrying this tool without an explicit resolution hits the setter's same-value early return and fails again indefinitely unless the caller first disables painting or supplies a resolution. Ensure a missing session is created on every enable request, or restore the disabled state after the initial failure.

Populate layer-list channels from the imported material
For every fresh qtmesh paint <file> --layer list process, paintedChannelIds() examines only live or stashed paint layer stacks, neither of which exists after this import, so paintedChannels is always empty even when the mesh has bound base-color, normal, or ORM textures. This contradicts the command's stated purpose of reporting channels that carry texture data; enumerate the imported material's bound slots instead.

Reject invalid CLI stencil channels
When --channel contains a typo, PaintChannelNS::fromId returns Channel::Count, and setActiveChannel silently ignores that out-of-range value. The command then successfully projects and exports into the default BaseColor channel, producing a valid-looking but incorrectly modified asset. Validate the parsed channel before starting projection; height should likewise be rejected rather than silently redirected to Normal.

Reject height in paint_apply_stencil
For paint_apply_stencil calls with channel: "height", this validation accepts the ID and setActiveChannel redirects it to Normal, so the tool silently writes to a different channel than requested. This is inconsistent with the adjacent paint_set_active_channel contract, which explicitly rejects Height because it is not paintable; apply the same check here before projection.
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

Report failure when deleting the only paint layer
When the session contains its initial single layer and the caller deletes index 0, deletePaintLayer deliberately returns without changing anything because the controller preserves at least one layer. This handler nevertheless returns a successful “Deleted layer 0” response with the layer still present, which makes automation believe its mutation succeeded. Reject deletion when layerCount() <= 1 or verify that the count changed before returning success.

…, layer breadcrumbs, two named tests **`qtmesh paint`** (registered in CLIPipeline's dispatch AND AppLaunchHandler's recognised list — omitting the latter makes the binary silently take the GUI path and hang, as #552 found the hard way): paint --list-stamps | --list-presets | --list-palettes [--json] paint <file> --layer list [--json] paint <file> --bake --engine <t> [--resolution N] [--prefix P] -o <dir> paint <file> --apply-stencil <img> --camera "ex,ey,ez,tx,ty,tz" [--channel <id>] [--fov D] [--resolution N] -o <out> `--engine` is accepted as an alias of `paint-bake`'s `--target`, and `--bake` delegates to the same `paintBakeToDirectory` core, so the two commands cannot diverge. **Layer MUTATION is deliberately omitted.** `--layer add/merge-down/flatten` would create a layer, write nothing, and exit: paint layers are a live in-memory session and are never persisted to a mesh file, so there is nothing for them to change in `out.fbx`. `--layer list` is supported and reports the honest answer (no layers on a freshly imported mesh, plus which channels carry texture data); baking is how painted pixels reach disk. The error message for the omitted verbs says so rather than failing opaquely. **`projectFromPhotoWithCamera(path, eye, target, up, fovY)`** is new: `projectFromPhoto` reads the ACTIVE VIEWPORT camera, so it cannot run headlessly. This builds the view/projection itself, frames the mesh from its world bounds with padding (a tight far plane silently drops the far half), and auto-picks a stable up vector when the caller looks down the world up axis. Both projection paths now share `projectPhotoWithView`, so occlusion, resolution, breadcrumb and commit behaviour cannot drift between them. **`paint.layer.*` breadcrumbs** — the only non-descoped breadcrumb gap in the epic. Ten sites: add/delete/duplicate/reorder/rename/merge_down/flatten/ visibility/blend_mode. **The two test files #553 names that had no equivalent**: `BrushEngine_test.cpp` (13 tests — which gradient mode reads which SampleParams field, ramp-missing fallback, no-NaN on degenerate input) and `PaintLayerStack_test.cpp` (25 tests — ordering, solo-overrides-visible, merge/flatten, snapshot round-trip). One test I had to correct: I first asserted PaintLayerStack ignores out-of-range indices. It does not — `layer(index)` throws, and that is fine because every caller in TexturePaintController bounds-checks first. The test now pins the real contract in both directions, so a future caller knows the guard is theirs to own. Verified end-to-end: all three list queries (6 bundled + 1 custom stamp, 15 presets, 7 palettes), --json parses, and stencil projection onto Rumba Dancing.fbx with an explicit camera writes a 642KB mesh. Both failure paths behave: a 3-value --camera is rejected up front, and a camera pointing away reports "wrote no texels" without writing a misleadingly-unchanged file.

MCPServer had ZERO coupling to TexturePaintController, so this is a new bridge
rather than extra dispatch entries. All 13 tools are registered in the dispatch
table, tool schemas, gamification clusters, and (for the image-heavy one) the
heavy list.
paint_set_enabled paint_set_active_layer
paint_list_layers paint_set_active_channel
paint_add_layer paint_set_brush_preset
paint_delete_layer paint_set_color
paint_reorder_layer paint_set_gradient
paint_merge_down paint_apply_stencil
paint_flatten
`paint_set_enabled` is NOT in the issue's list, but without it the other twelve
were unreachable over MCP: every one needs a live paint session and there was no
tool to enter paint mode, so a human had to click the GUI first. That would have
been a parity feature that could not be driven by the thing it exists for.
Notes on the design:
- One `paintCtrlWithSession` helper gives the same explicit error for the most
likely failure ("no active paint session … needs --with-mcp") instead of each
tool null-dereferencing differently.
- Every mutating tool returns the resulting layer list, active layer and active
channel, so a caller can see the effect of its own call without a second
round trip.
- `paint_set_active_channel` REJECTS an unknown id rather than accepting
PaintChannelNS::fromId's BaseColor fallback — silently painting BaseColor when
the caller asked for roughness would be very hard to notice. It also rejects
'height' explicitly, pointing at 'normal' (#547).
- `paint_reorder_layer` loops the controller's move-up/move-down rather than
reaching past it into the stack, so the single-step invariants and their
breadcrumbs stay intact.
- `paint_set_color` routes through applyPaletteColor so scripted picks feed the
recent-colours ring exactly like manual ones.
- `paint_apply_stencil` takes an optional explicit camera (part 1's
projectFromPhotoWithCamera) and falls back to the live viewport when omitted.
Verified live against a GUI+MCP instance over the HTTP API, not just by
inspecting the registration: load_mesh -> paint_set_enabled (session opens,
1024px, 1 layer) -> add x2 -> reorder 2->0 -> set_active -> merge_down ->
flatten, with layer counts correct at every step; stencil projection committed a
new layer (1 -> 2); and every error path returns its intended message (unknown
channel, height, bad gradient mode, missing preset, out-of-range delete, merge
at index 0). stdio and HTTP both list all 14 paint_* tools.
NB the stdio probe needs LSP Content-Length framing, not newline-delimited JSON
— a newline-only client hangs on the first read.

…mples docs/PAINT_V2_CLI_MCP.md is the user-facing reference: every `qtmesh paint` form, all 14 MCP tools, the `<AppData>/paint/` on-disk layout, and an explicit "Not implemented" section so the two descoped features read as decisions rather than gaps. CLAUDE.md gains a Slice J parity bullet (following the #473 HDR parity template) and — more importantly — a CORRECTION: the Paint v2 bullet claimed the epic's Sentry categories were "paint.brush.gradient, paint.channel", when 22 distinct paint.* categories exist across brush/stamp/layer/symmetry/stabilizer/ projection/decal/preset/palette/bake. That was wrong before this slice and would have sent anyone auditing breadcrumbs to the wrong place. Also documented, because both cost real debugging time this slice: - the MCP stdio transport needs LSP Content-Length framing, not newline-delimited JSON (a newline-only client hangs on the first read); - PaintLayerStack does not bounds-check, and that is safe only because every TexturePaintController::setPaintLayer* guards first. Verified every flag documented in PAINT_V2_CLI_MCP.md is actually parsed by cmdPaint (14 of 14; --with-mcp is a launch flag, not a paint flag). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
1. **paint_set_enabled could get permanently stuck.** setTexturePaintEnabled early-returns when the flag already matches, so a first call with no mesh selected left paint "enabled" with no session, and every retry no-opped forever unless the caller passed a resolution or disabled first. An enable request now clears a stale flag before retrying, and leaves the flag OFF on failure so the state the caller observes matches reality. 2. **`--layer list` always reported zero painted channels.** paintedChannelIds() inspects live/stashed layer stacks, and a freshly imported mesh has neither — so it contradicted the command's stated purpose. It now enumerates the MATERIAL's bound PBR slots, which is what "channels carrying texture data" means for a file on disk. Verified on Rumba Dancing.fbx: reports [basecolor, normal], matching its two textures. 3. **CLI `--channel` accepted typos silently.** PaintChannelNS::fromId returns Channel::Count for an unknown id and setActiveChannel IGNORES an out-of-range value, so `--channel speculr` projected into whatever channel was active and exported a valid-looking but wrong asset. Now rejected — and at ARG-PARSE time, before any filesystem or Ogre work, so an invalid flag reports usage (2) rather than being masked by a missing-input error (1). 4. **paint_apply_stencil accepted channel "height".** It is a real id that setActiveChannel redirects to Normal, so the tool silently wrote a different channel than requested — inconsistent with paint_set_active_channel, which rejects it. Both now share one paintChannelFromId validator. 5. **Deleting the only layer reported success.** The controller deliberately keeps at least one layer and returns without changing anything, so automation was told a mutation happened when nothing did. Now refused with a reason, and the layer count is re-checked before reporting success. All five verified live rather than by inspection: the CLI cases against Rumba Dancing.fbx (rejections write no output; the valid path still exports 642KB), and the MCP cases against a GUI+MCP instance over HTTP (enable → fail-with-no-mesh → load → retry now succeeds; height and typo rejected; delete-only-layer refused; a valid stencil still commits a layer). Eleven CLI regression tests added, including the two ordering cases that made me move the validation earlier. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
6. **The docs' MCP example could not be parsed.** The Content-Length said 57 but the JSON body is 58 UTF-8 bytes, and onReadyRead reads exactly the declared length — so anyone copy-pasting the example got a truncated body and a parse error. A worked example that fails is worse than none. 7. **`--resolution abc` and `--fov abc` were accepted silently.** QString::toInt/toDouble return 0 on non-numeric text and the ok flag was discarded, so `--fov abc` built a DEGENERATE camera that projected nothing while still running the whole import/export path, and `--resolution abc` quietly kept the source size. Both are now usage errors, and --fov is range-checked to (0,180) since a degenerate angle cannot project. 8. **A bad gradient mode still mutated the ramp.** setActiveRampName ran before the mode was validated, so a valid `ramp` with an invalid `mode` changed the session AND returned an error — misleading for scripted callers that read an error as "nothing happened". Every argument is now resolved before any is applied. Verified live: ramp stays Ocean across a rejected call. 9. **`channel: "vertexcolor"` was accepted and silently ignored.** VertexColor is enum 7, past kTexturePaintChannelCount, so it is a real id that setActiveChannel drops on the floor — the same silent-no-op trap as a typo, which I had just fixed for typos and missed here. It is not a texture channel at all (it has its own Texture/Vertex paint-target toggle). Verified live against a GUI+MCP instance, including that the tightened checks reject only what they should: all six valid channels and a valid ramp+mode still apply. Four CLI regression tests added, one of which asserts that VALID numeric flags still get past parsing — a validator that rejects everything would have passed the other three.

Closes #553, and completes the Paint v2 epic (#543).
Slice J is the audit-and-finish slice: bring Paint v2 to project conventions (CLI, MCP, breadcrumbs, tests, docs). I audited what the previous nine slices already shipped before building, which cut the work substantially — several named deliverables already existed under different names.
What was already done (not rebuilt)
ProjectionPainter_test.cppexists verbatim;PaintChannel_test.cppandSymmetryMirrorMap_test.cppare the*Router*/SymmetryEngineequivalents.--bake --engineis the same concept as Slice I'spaint-bake --target— wired as an alias sharing one core rather than a second implementation.What's new
CLI
qtmesh paint— three list queries (--list-stamps/--list-presets/--list-palettes, all--json),--layer list,--bake, and--apply-stencilwith an explicit camera.14 MCP
paint_*tools.MCPServerhad zeroTexturePaintControllercoupling, so this is a new bridge, not extra dispatch rows.projectFromPhotoWithCamera—projectFromPhotoreads the active viewport camera and so cannot run headlessly. Both paths now share one tail, so occlusion/resolution/breadcrumb/commit behaviour can't drift.paint.layer.*breadcrumbs (10 sites) — the only non-descoped breadcrumb gap in the whole epic.BrushEngine_test.cpp(13 tests) andPaintLayerStack_test.cpp(25) — the only two files #553 names that had no equivalent coverage.Three judgement calls
Layer mutation is deliberately absent from the CLI.
--layer add/merge-down/flattenwould create a layer, write nothing, and exit: paint layers are a live in-memory session, never persisted to a mesh file. A command that appears to work and does nothing is worse than one that explains why it isn't there, so the omitted verbs say so.--layer listis supported and reports the honest headless answer; baking is how painted pixels reach disk.paint_set_enabledisn't in the issue's list, but the parity surface doesn't work without it. Every other paint tool needs a live session, and nothing could enter paint mode over MCP — a human had to click the GUI first. A scripting surface that can't be driven by scripts isn't parity.Two deliverables dropped, with the reasons recorded in
docs/PAINT_V2_CLI_MCP.mdand CLAUDE.md rather than left as silent gaps:DerivedMaps_test.cpp/paint.derived_map.*— Slice G (Paint v2: Slice G — Cavity / curvature / AO masks #550) was closed as not planned; I confirmed no cavity/curvature/AO code exists to test.paint.tablet— deliberately skipped in Slice H (desktop-only project, no pen hardware to verify against).A documentation correction
CLAUDE.md claimed the epic's Sentry categories were "
paint.brush.gradient,paint.channel". There are 22 distinctpaint.*categories. That was wrong before this slice and would have sent anyone auditing breadcrumbs to the wrong place.Verification
306 paint tests pass.
I verified the MCP tools against a live GUI+MCP instance over the HTTP API rather than just inspecting the registration:
load_mesh→paint_set_enabled(session opens, 1024px, 1 layer) → add ×2 → reorder 2→0 → set-active → merge-down → flatten, with layer counts correct at each step; stencil projection committed a new layer (1→2); and every error path returned its intended message (unknown channel,height, bad gradient mode, missing preset, out-of-range delete, merge at index 0). Both stdio and HTTP list all 14 tools.CLI verified end-to-end: 6 bundled + 1 custom stamp, 15 presets, 7 palettes,
--jsonparses, and stencil projection onto Rumba Dancing.fbx writes a 642KB mesh. A 3-value--camerais rejected up front; a camera pointing away reports "wrote no texels" without writing a misleadingly-unchanged file.One test I had to correct: I first asserted
PaintLayerStackignores out-of-range indices. It doesn't —layer(index)throws, and that's safe only because every controller caller bounds-checks first. The test now pins the real contract in both directions, so a future caller knows the guard is theirs to own.Two gotchas worth knowing
Content-Lengthframing. A newline-delimited JSON client hangs on the first read — my first probe did exactly that.AppLaunchHandler's recognised list or the binary silently takes the GUI path and hangs (same trap Paint v2: Slice I — Bake-up workflow #552 hit).Epic closure
With this merged, #543's nine implementation slices are complete (#550 not planned). Two epic acceptance criteria correspond to the descoped features above and can't be ticked honestly; I'll note them on the epic rather than claim features that don't exist.
