Closes #4091

A BIM coordinator typed IfcOpenShell selector syntax into ifc-lite's object filter and got nothing back. I reproduced it in the running viewer on AC20-FZK-Haus (275 elements) before writing any code:

query results
Wand 13
IfcWall 15
IfcWall* 0
IfcWall, IfcSlab 0
IfcWall[Name*=Wand] 0

The search box is a plain substring matcher, so every selector character is matched literally and adding syntax makes it match less. The Advanced Filter is a structured rule builder whose Name operators are only eq / ne / contains / notContains / startsWith. There is no text grammar on either surface, and ifc-lite disagrees with itself: the CLI's clash selectors already accept --a "IfcDuct*|IfcPipe*".

What this adds

parseSelector in @ifc-lite/query: a tokenizer plus recursive-descent parser over the whole IfcOpenShell filter grammar, answering with an AST or an error carrying the character offset that broke. Plus selectorToFilterRules in the viewer adapting that AST onto the existing FilterRule model, a selector field in the Filter tab, regex ops in the rule model, and a docs page.

The parser lives in the query package, not the viewer, because the CLI, MCP and SDK all already depend on it and should adapt the same AST rather than growing a second grammar. Accepting more than any one surface can evaluate is deliberate: the adapter names what it dropped instead of matching nothing in silence.

Working today: IfcWall, IfcSlab with subclasses, IfcElement, ! IfcWall, Name=D01 and Name=/D[0-9]{2}/, Pset_WallCommon.FireRating=2HR across all eight operators, /Pset_.*Common/.LoadBearing=TRUE, … != NULL, material=, classification=/Pr_.*/, location="Level 3".

Verified by driving the UI, not by asserting

IfcWall* now answers: Character 8 (at "*"): "*" is only valid as part of the "*=" (contains) operator; this grammar has no "*" wildcard. Use a regular expression such as /Ifc.*Wall/ instead. Rules untouched.

IfcWall, /Pset_.*Common/.ThermalTransmittance>1 becomes two visible, editable rules (IFC TYPE expanded to IfcWall + IfcWallElementedCase + IfcWallStandardCase, plus the property rule) and returns 5 rows in 16 ms.

IfcDoor, Name=/T.*/, type=WT01 applies the first two and reports "type=WT01": matching an element's type by name is not supported yet (#4094).

The reporter's own selector is pinned by name in the test set, as promised in the thread.

Two review rounds, and what they caught

/simplify (4 agents) found the AST's string/regex discriminator was flattened back into ambiguous text and re-derived downstream, so a quoted literal name compiled as a regex and Name=/\\/tmp\\// silently lost its slashes. That is this issue's own defect class reappearing at the adapter seam. Fixed by carrying an explicit TextKind.

/code-review then found Qto_WallBaseQuantities.NetVolume=NULL produced a property rule reading the pset table, which matched every element in the model. Also that promote had lost its Name contains fallback for plain text that happens to parse, and that two tests passed with the toast deleted. All fixed, each with a before/after mutation count.

Measured limitation, documented not guessed

location="Level 3" matches an element contained directly in the storey but not one inside a space on that storey (elementToStorey.get(pump) is undefined), so IfcOpenShell's example 17 does not carry over. A test measures this rather than asserting it, and the docs matrix says so. #4094 tracks it, correctly scoped as a fix to the existing storey rule rather than a new rule kind.

Revit's unprefixed BaseQuantities and ArchiCAD's ArchiCADQuantities are unreachable from a selector; documented, with a test pinning the gap so it turns red when #4094 closes it.

Notes for the reviewer

apps/viewer/src/lib/search/selector-to-rules.ts is at exactly 400 lines, the limit, with no allowlist row. I had it judged rather than split reflexively: it is a deep module (two public functions over 400 lines of implementation), and each candidate seam was measured and rejected. An op-map module needs 11 crossings and would import the rule vocabulary anyway; the unsupported messages are 17 inline literals whose value is sitting on the branch that detects the condition; a per-kind split is 4 files and 12+ crossings. When #4094 forces growth, the plan is to absorb regexProblem into filter-ops.ts first (one crossing, and it co-locates two compiles of the same source that can currently disagree), then split adaptProperty only if still over.

Deferred on record: NameEditor / MaterialEditor / ClassificationEditor drop the kind on an op-only toggle, which bites only when the value is itself /…/-shaped.

The viewer, the CLI and the SDK each take a different structured filter and
none reads the selector syntax the IfcOpenShell docs describe, so every example
from that page matched nothing and reported nothing (#4091). A trailing `*`
made it worse: `IfcWall` found 15 elements in the running viewer and `IfcWall*`
found 0, because the star was matched as a literal character.

Add `parseSelector` to `@ifc-lite/query`: a tokenizer plus a recursive-descent
parser over the full grammar, returning either an AST or an error with the
offset that broke. The parser deliberately accepts more than any one surface
can evaluate — `type=`, `parent=`, `query:`, `+` unions — so an adapter can
name what it dropped instead of silently matching nothing.

Tests pin one case per worked example on the docs page, asserting the exact
AST, plus quoting, escapes, regex literals, NULL, operator precedence and the
error offsets.

The rule model had no way to say "matches this pattern": the Name rule offered
eq / ne / contains / notContains / startsWith, and a property rule compared set
and property names by lowercase equality. So the selector syntax's two regex
forms, `Name=/D[0-9]{2}/` and `/Pset_.*Common/.FireRating`, had nothing to land
on (#4091).

Add `matches` / `notMatches` to StringOp, ValueOp and ClassificationOp, and
route the property and quantity name compare through `nameMatches`, which reads
a `/…/` literal as a regular expression and anything else as the equality it
was. Both reuse `compileNameMatcher` from `@ifc-lite/lists`, so the cache and
the `g`/`y` flag strip that keep `.test()` from alternating are already there.

Regex matching is case-SENSITIVE, unlike every other op here, because the
grammar's `/…/` is a Python regular expression. An invalid or empty pattern
matches nothing rather than throwing. `isFilterRule` keys on `kind` alone, so
saved presets carrying a regex op round-trip unchanged.

The IfcOpenShell page says `location="Level 3"` matches an element contained
directly OR indirectly in a spatial element of that name, and its example 17 is
a pump sitting in a space on Level 3. ifc-lite's storey rule reads
`spatialHierarchy.elementToStorey`, which is built from direct containment plus
aggregated parts, so whether it answers example 17 is a question about the
parser, not about the rule.

Measure it against a real parse rather than reasoning about it: a pump inside a
space, a wall directly in the storey, one `Rule.storey(['Level 3'])`. The
storey rule matches the wall and does NOT reach the pump; the space itself does
map to its storey. That result is what the docs matrix will say, and it is the
case a spatial-ancestor rule has to change (#4094).

`selectorToFilterRules` turns the selector AST into `FilterRule[]`: class
filters fold into one expanded `ifcType in` rule (and one `notIn` for the `!`
subtractions), Name and PredefinedType become their attribute rules, a
`Pset.Prop op value` becomes a property rule with `= NULL` / `!= NULL` reading
as isNotSet / isSet, a `Qto_`-prefixed set with a numeric value becomes a
quantity rule, and material, classification and location become theirs.

The class expansion is the part that changes answers: `IfcWall` now reaches
`IfcWallStandardCase`, which is why a model full of them stopped answering
zero, and `IfcElement` reaches its whole branch.

Everything the rule model has no home for — GlobalId terms, `type=`, `parent=`,
`query:`, attributes other than Name and PredefinedType, `+` unions, an
operator a dimension cannot take, a regex JavaScript cannot compile — comes
back in `unsupported`, quoting the text as typed. That list is the point: a
construct that produced no rule and no complaint is #4091 exactly.

Mutation-checked: deleting the `expandTypes` call fails 16 cases including
IfcWall -> IfcWallStandardCase; dropping the GlobalId report fails 4 including
example 5.

The Filter tab is a chip builder with no text entry, so someone arriving with
the IfcOpenShell syntax in hand had nowhere to put it and fell back to the
search bar, which matches the characters literally (#4091).

Add a selector field above the rule list. Apply parses, adapts, and replaces
the rules; a parse error applies nothing and points at the character that broke
it; a construct with no rule is named rather than dropped. `IfcWall*` now says
that `*` is only part of `*=` instead of returning zero elements.

"Add <query> as rule" reads the search bar as a selector when the whole thing
maps cleanly, and keeps `Name contains` otherwise, including when part of the
selector is unsupported — falling back is honest, a partial reading is not.

Mutation-checked: replacing the Apply handler with a no-op fails 5 of the 7 UI
cases.

`@ifc-lite/query` gains `parseSelector` and the AST types, which is a minor
bump and a snapshot refresh.

Narrow what leaves the package while doing it: the six per-kind filter
interfaces and `SelectorKeywordKind` stay module-internal, since a caller
narrows on `filter.kind` off the union rather than naming each member, and an
export with no consumer is permanent semver liability. `TokenKind` was
exported by nothing and is now local to the lexer. The viewer's selector field
takes `SelectorParseError` instead of restating its shape.

The gap #4091 reported was as much a documentation gap as a code one: nothing
said which parts of the IfcOpenShell selector syntax ifc-lite reads, so a
selector that matched nothing looked like a mistake by the person who typed it.

Add `docs/guide/selector-syntax.md`: the grammar as ifc-lite reads it, a
per-construct support table for the viewer's Filter tab, and a mapping table
for the CLI, MCP and SDK filters, which are structured rather than textual and
stay that way for now (#4094).

Two entries are measured rather than assumed. `location=` reaches an element a
storey contains directly and not one nested inside a space on that storey, per
the test in `filter-evaluate.test.ts`, so IfcOpenShell's pump example does not
carry over. And the clash selectors' `IfcDuct*|IfcPipe*` glob is named as the
separate older mini-language it is, since the viewer rejecting `IfcWall*` while
the CLI advertises it is otherwise just confusing.

`knip` flagged the six per-kind filter interfaces as exported types nothing
consumes: trimming them out of the package index left them still `export`ed
from `ast.ts` and reachable from nowhere. Drop the keyword. The emitted `.d.ts`
still carries them as the union's constituents, so `SelectorFilter` narrows on
`filter.kind` exactly as before, and the API surface snapshot is unchanged.

`Pset_BeamCommon."IsExternal" = FALSE` was a parse error while
`/Pset_.*Common/."IsExternal" = TRUE` parsed. The lexer keeps a '.' inside a
bare word on purpose, so a decimal value like `1.5` stays one token; the
consequence was that a literal property set never reached the dot branch and
its quoted property name was read as a stray token. Only the regex spelling
worked, one character from the selector the reporter typed.

parseFilter now takes a word ending in '.' followed by a quoted or regex token
as the property-set/property pair. The decimal case is unchanged and still
pinned by its own test.

The adapter re-encoded the AST's discriminator into a `/…/` spelling and the
matchers guessed it back out of the text. Both directions of that guess are
wrong, and both matched the wrong elements without saying anything, which is
the defect #4091 reported reappearing one layer along:

  "/Wall/".FireRating=2HR   quoting is the grammar's only escape hatch for a
                            literal name, and the rule read it as a pattern
                            that swallows Pset_WallCommon.
  Name=/\/tmp\//            the source IS `/tmp/`; sniffed for delimiters it
                            compiled to `tmp`.

Rules now carry a `TextKind` per string: 'regex' is a source compiled whole,
'literal' is text that is never a pattern, and an absent kind is free text a
human typed into a chip field, where the Lists-panel `/…/` convention (#1591)
is the only way to say "pattern" and reading it is the grammar rather than a
guess. The chip editors clear the kind on the field they edit.

Splits the pure operator matchers out of filter-rules.ts into filter-ops.ts at
the op seam: the added fields took the file past the 400-line cap, and an
allowlist row would have frozen the debt instead of paying it. Both halves are
now well under the cap with no allowlist row.

Tests: the reporter's own selector is pinned by name; the two cases above are
pinned end to end through parse, adapt and match. With the mechanism removed
the adapter suite is 34/42, with it 42/42.

The unknown-class entry quoted `filter.name` where every sibling entry quotes
`filter.text`, the exact source substring. `! IfcWaall` therefore read back as
`"IfcWaall"`, dropping the "!" and leaving the reader unable to tell which of
two similar terms the adapter had rejected.

…the app

The selector adapter lower-cased before testing for `qto_`, where all six
other `Qto_` prefix tests in the repo (SDK, lists, ids, ifcx) compare the
prefix as spelled. That made the selector the only surface answering a
different question about the same set name.

`SelectorGroup` was re-exported from the package index with nothing importing
it: a caller reaches a group through `SelectorQuery.groups` and narrows on
`filter.kind` from there. AGENTS.md is explicit that an unused public export is
permanent semver liability, so it goes before the first release rather than
after. The interface itself stays, module-internal, where the parser uses it.

Snapshot regenerated with `pnpm api-surface:update`; the existing `minor`
changeset still describes the surface, which never shipped this name.

The Filter tab's Selector field and its "add the search query as a rule"
button each carried their own copy of parse then adapt, down to the same
models/activeModelId subscription taken only to reach a schema version. Two
copies of a reading is two ways for the same text to be read.

`readSelector` in selector-to-rules.ts is now that reading, once, and
`useActiveSchemaVersion` is the subscription, once. What each caller does with
the answer stays with the caller: one replaces the rule list, one appends to
it, and only the caller knows which. No behaviour change.

"Add <query> as rule" fell back to `Name contains <the whole string>` whenever
the adapter could not carry every term. `IfcWall, type=WT01` therefore added
one rule matching zero elements, with no message: a valid selector, an empty
result, nothing to read. That is the defect #4091 reported, reached from the
second entry point, and a test pinned it as intended.

It now applies the rules it can and names the rest in a toast, the same policy
the Selector field directly above it uses; a selector that yields no rule at
all reports instead of adding a guaranteed miss. Text that is not a selector —
a plain `Wand` — still becomes the `Name contains` it always was.

The tests assert the message reaches the DOM through a mounted Toaster, not
that the handler was called.

The toolbar search box is the surface #4091's reporter actually typed into,
and it answered "No results — try a name, IFC type, or full GlobalId." for a
selector it does not read. A valid query, an empty list, and nothing to tell
the two kinds of emptiness apart.

When the query parses as a selector, the empty popover now says so and points
at the Filter tab, which does run it. Tier-0 search itself is unchanged: it
still matches names, types and GlobalIds, because rewiring it through the
parser changes an existing surface's result set and belongs to #4094.

Two behaviours changed in this branch and the page did not say either. Quoting
a name forces a literal and now works after a literal property set as well as
a regex one, and the `Qto_` prefix test is case-sensitive like every other one
in ifc-lite.

…hole container

Both toast assertions in SearchModal.filter.promote.test.tsx matched
`container.textContent`, and the promote button's own label carries the
query verbatim (`Add "IfcWall, type=WT01" as rule`, 18 chars, untruncated).
Deleting `toast.info` and `toast.error` left all 5 tests green: the two
that exist to prove the dropped part is named could not fail.

Scope them to the toast region instead. The Toaster's stack now carries
`role="status"` / `aria-live="polite"`, which is the right semantics for
it anyway and gives the test a stable hook.

Proved by mutation: with both toast calls deleted the file was 5/5 before
this change and 3/5 after; restored it is 5/5 again.

…d of misrouting it

A `property` rule reads IFCPROPERTYSET rows; quantities live in their own
table. `adaptProperty` only reached `Rule.quantity` for a `Qto_`-prefixed set
with a numeric operator and a finite number, and everything else fell through
to a property rule that reads the wrong table and added nothing to
`unsupported`. Measured before this change:

  Qto_WallBaseQuantities.NetVolume=NULL   property isNotSet -> matched EVERY element
  Qto_WallBaseQuantities.NetVolume!=NULL  property isSet    -> matched nothing
  Qto_WallBaseQuantities.NetVolume*=1     property contains -> matched nothing
  Qto_WallBaseQuantities.Note=draft       property eq       -> matched nothing

A `Qto_` set that cannot become a quantity rule is now reported, naming the
reason, and emits no rule at all.

`looksLikeQuantitySet` also missed a pattern whose `Qto_` opens an alternative
rather than the pattern, so `/(Qto_Wall|Qto_Slab)BaseQuantities/.NetVolume>1`
became a property rule matching nothing; it is a quantity rule now.

Not fixed here: making property rules read quantity rows, which is the real
remedy and belongs in #4094. That leaves the non-prefixed spellings out of
reach — Revit IFC2x3 writes `BaseQuantities`, ArchiCAD writes
`ArchiCADQuantities` — so docs/guide/selector-syntax.md now says so instead of
carrying an unqualified green row, and a test pins the gap.

selector-to-rules.test.ts: 44/46 before (the two new cases fail), 46/46 after.

… names nothing

"Add <query> as rule" used to turn any search text into `Name contains
<text>`. Reading it as a selector first took that away from text that
happens to parse: `IFC`, `ifc`, `IFC-Export`, `Level=1` and `Ø=100` all
parse, produce no rule, and used to leave the user with a toast and no rule
at all. Multi-word text still fell back, so the loss was invisible on the
inputs anyone tried.

The adapter now says which of the two it saw. `readsAsPlainText` is true
when no rule came out AND every term is a class name no schema knows or an
attribute with no rule behind it, which is what a plain search term parses
into. `parent=Foo`, `query:…` and a GlobalId term are none of those, so
they still report rather than silently becoming a Name contains that
matches nothing.

Warn-and-apply is unchanged wherever at least one rule survives.

`FILTERABLE_ATTRIBUTES` is now the single home for the two attribute names,
read by both `adaptAttribute` and the plain-text test, so the pair cannot
drift. Comments trimmed where they repeated docs/guide/selector-syntax.md,
keeping the module inside the 400-line limit (399).

SearchModal.filter.promote.test.tsx: 5/6 before (the new case fails), 6/6
after.

…rule

The empty search popover's "that reads as selector syntax, run it from the
Filter tab" hint fired on `parseSelector(query).ok`. Parsing is the wrong
test: an unknown 22-character GlobalId and a misspelled class such as
`IfcWaall` both parse, produce no rule, and are then refused by the tab the
hint sends the user to. The GlobalId case is worse than useless, since this
box is where GlobalIds are searched.

`selectorYieldsRules` asks the question the hint means — does the adapter get
at least one rule out of it — and SearchInline reads that instead. Schema
version is not passed: it only widens class expansion, and neither the
unknown-class nor the unsupported-construct answer depends on it.

Comments trimmed where they duplicated docs/guide/selector-syntax.md, so the
module lands at 400 lines; SearchInline is unchanged in length (734).

SearchInline.empty-state.test.tsx: 3/5 before (both new cases fail), 5/5
after.

Directs selector-shaped no-result queries to the Filter tab and adds polite status-region semantics to toasts.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 3813a

Empty regular expressions are correctly rejected, but the Filter tab explains their semantics incorrectly. This is a bounded messaging issue and does not block selector functionality.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 40.32% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 62 functions across 23 files. (6 skipped: 6 unsupported.)

Full details: Changeset Bump Matches The Api Surface

Explanation

The @ifc-lite/query bump is correct for the added parseSelector function and selector types: packages/query/src/index.ts and scripts/api-surface.json show additive exports, and the package is at version 2.1.0. The changeset is incomplete for the versioned @ifc-lite/viewer app. The PR adds user-visible selector filtering in apps/viewer/src/components/viewer/SearchModal.filter.selector.tsx:36-75, integrates selector promotion in SearchModal.filter.builder.tsx:101-115,153, and changes toast behavior in apps/viewer/src/components/ui/toast.tsx. apps/viewer/package.json identifies version 1.40.0, and .changeset/config.json has privatePackages.version: true with no ignored packages. .changeset/selector-parser.md:2 names only @ifc-lite/query, so the viewer behavior has no patch bump.

Full details: One Defect Class Per Pr

Explanation

The PR fixes one stale-TextKind state-reset defect at several separate editor handlers without a shared reset mechanism or a gate. It clears metadata directly in PropertyEditor at SearchModal.filter.editors.tsx:349, :357, and :366, and in QuantityEditor at :394 and :402. These handlers all implement the same decision: changing text invalidates the inferred literal/regex kind. The rule model adds the shared TextKind state in filter-rules.ts, but no shared update helper enforces its invalidation. The next instances remain in RuleRow and the other editors: NameEditor is rebuilt by :123, MaterialEditor by :140, and ClassificationEditor by :459, :464, and :472, all without preserving or deliberately clearing the kind. The PR description also records this deferred behavior. The component tests contain no editor metadata-reset coverage, so no gate prevents another call site.

Resolution

Add one typed rule-update helper or centralized editor mutation API that handles TextKind consistently. Route the Name, Property, Quantity, Material, and Classification editor updates through it, with explicit rules for text changes and operator-only changes. Add component tests for every editor mutation, including changing the value and toggling operators on selector-created regex rules. Alternatively, add a structural gate that enumerates all rule mutation paths and rejects direct reconstruction that can drop or stale TextKind.

P2 Badge Expand class selectors for every federated model schema

When a federation contains models with different schemas, this expands a class using only the active model's schema and then applies the resulting exact type list to every model in evaluateFilterRulesFederated. For example, with an IFC4 model active and an IFC2X3 secondary model, IfcBuildingElement omits IfcReinforcingBar from the IFC2X3 results; making the IFC2X3 model active instead can incorrectly include IFC4 reinforcing bars. Preserve the class intent until per-model evaluation or otherwise expand separately for every loaded schema.

P2 Badge Preserve selector regex provenance when editing operators

Adding regex operators to these editors exposes selector-generated rules whose valueKind: 'regex' is significant, but the Name, Material, and Classification editor callbacks rebuild rules without that field. After applying a selector such as Name=/\/tmp\//, merely switching from matches to notMatches changes /tmp/ from a regex source containing literal slashes into a slash-delimited pattern matching plain tmp; op-only edits must retain valueKind while actual value edits may clear it.

P2 Badge Reject partially numeric quantity operands

For a Qto_ selector whose operand starts with a number but contains trailing text, such as Qto_WallBaseQuantities.NetVolume>1m, Number.parseFloat returns 1, so the adapter silently runs a different numeric comparison instead of reporting the documented numeric-only requirement. Validate the complete operand before constructing the quantity rule.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Correct the empty-regex diagnostic.

When readRegex rejects Name=//, the Filter tab displays error.message. An empty regex matches every value, so it filters nothing. The current message states the opposite and can mislead users.

Proposed wording fix
-        return { ok: false, error: { message: 'empty regular expression: // matches nothing', offset: start } };
+        return { ok: false, error: { message: 'empty regular expression: // matches every value, so it filters nothing', offset: start } };

The existing test checks only the empty regular expression substring.
