fix(cache): wire the parse-to-cache handoff so the README quickstart typechecks (#3811)
`packages/cache`'s README quickstart didn't typecheck: `IfcParser.parseColumnar` takes the raw `ArrayBuffer`, not a `Uint8Array` view of it (`new Uint8Array(ifcBuffer)` failed), and `BinaryCacheWriter.write` needs a `CacheDataStore` (`schema: SchemaVersion`, a numeric enum) — not the parser's `IfcDataStore` (`schemaVersion: 'IFC2X3' | 'IFC4' | 'IFC4X3' | 'IFC5'`, a differently-named string union). Nothing converted between the two, so a caller following the README verbatim had to reverse-engineer the mapping by hand. Added `toCacheDataStore()`, exported from the package root, to do that conversion. An IFC5 source is tagged `SchemaVersion.IFC2X3` on write, since the binary cache format predates IFC5 — the same fallback the viewer's read-side cache hook already uses. It intentionally does not carry over an entity index (the parser's live map and the cache format's serializable byte-offset index are structurally different shapes; nothing today converts one into the other) or materialize properties/quantities — it serializes exactly what the store's property/quantity tables already hold. Also corrected the package docstring and README, which claimed the `.ifc-lite` cache pre-computes "all data structures" for a 5-10x speedup. That's true for entities/relationships/spatial hierarchy/geometry, but not for properties or quantities: a STEP-parsed store resolves those lazily and never populates its property/quantity tables, so `write()` serializes them empty and a cache-restored model queries properties exactly as slow as a fresh parse — unless the caller separately retains the source buffer and re-attaches on-demand extraction on read, the way the viewer's cache hook does. `docs/guide/querying.md` already documented this correctly; the package's own docs now say the same thing. Tests: `toCacheDataStore` is covered directly (schema-string→enum mapping including the IFC5 fallback, data tables passed through unchanged, entity index left undefined, an already-populated property table is left untouched, `spatialHierarchy` presence/absence). Mutation check: changing the IFC5 fallback branch from `SchemaVersion.IFC2X3` to `SchemaVersion.IFC4` fails two of the new tests (the explicit-mapping test and the IFC5-fallback test) — confirmed by running it. Changeset: `@ifc-lite/cache` patch. `scripts/api-surface.json` updated for the new `toCacheDataStore`/`ParsedIfcStore` exports. Closes #3759 <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit - **New Features** - Added `toCacheDataStore()` to simplify converting parsed IFC data for cache writing. - Preserves entity indexes, spatial data, schema versions, and entity counts during cache creation. - **Bug Fixes** - Corrected cache quickstart examples so they typecheck and use the required data formats. - Clarified that property and quantity tables are resolved lazily and may remain empty in caches created from STEP data. - **Tests** - Added coverage for cache round trips across supported IFC schemas, including entity lookup preservation. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai -->

Add `toCacheDataStore()`, exported from the package root, so callers stop
6+
hand-rolling the `IfcDataStore` to `CacheDataStore` conversion that
7+
`BinaryCacheWriter.write` requires (`schema: SchemaVersion`, a numeric enum,
8+
against the parser's `schemaVersion` string union). The viewer's cache hook
9+
carried its own copy of that mapping, spelled out as bare `1`/`2`/`0`
10+
literals, and the package README carried a second one inline; both now go
11+
through this one function, so the mapping can no longer drift between them.
12+
An IFC5 source is tagged `SchemaVersion.IFC2X3` on write, since the binary
13+
format predates IFC5, matching the fallback the viewer's read side already
14+
uses. The store's `entityIndex` passes straight through (the parser's
15+
`EntityByIdIndex` already iterates `[number, EntityRef]` and `EntityRef`
16+
satisfies `CacheEntityRef`), so a cache written this way carries an
17+
entity-index section and a reader that retains the source can re-attach the
18+
parser's lazy accessors.
19+
20+
Correct the package docstring and README, which claimed the cache
21+
pre-computes "all data structures" for a 5-10x speedup. That holds for
22+
entities, relationships, spatial hierarchy and geometry, but not for
23+
properties or quantities: a STEP-parsed store resolves those lazily and
24+
never populates its property/quantity tables, so `write()` serializes them
25+
empty and a cache-restored model queries properties exactly as slow as a
26+
fresh parse, unless the caller separately retains the source buffer and
27+
re-attaches on-demand extraction on read (as the viewer's cache hook does).
28+
`docs/guide/querying.md` already documented this correctly; the package's
29+
own docs now say the same thing. Reported as issue #3759.

Binary cache format for IFClite. Caches the parsed data store and geometry in a compact binary format so a previously-loaded IFC reopens in milliseconds instead of re-running the full parse + tessellation pipeline. Content-addressable (xxHash64 of the source IFC), so cache invalidation is automatic.

5+
**Properties and quantities are not part of that speedup.** `BinaryCacheWriter.write` serializes whatever the data store's property/quantity tables already hold. A STEP-parsed store resolves properties lazily on demand and never populates those tables, so a cache written straight from a STEP parse round-trips with EMPTY property/quantity tables — a cache-restored model queries properties exactly as slow as a fresh parse (see `docs/guide/querying.md`). If your application needs fast repeat property queries too, retain the source buffer alongside the cache entry and re-attach on-demand extraction on read, the way the viewer's cache hook does.
