Iconic CAD v2.0.0 — the library release

Iconic CAD v2 connects the layout editor to validated part libraries.

What's new since v1 (Collin DeSantis's spring 2026 release):

• All fifteen wall and window modules are now expressed as library entries — schema, compiler, metadata, and geometric expectations — validated in CI on every change: code validation (parameters, units, ranges) and output validation (the compiled FreeCAD geometry is checked for completeness, overlap, and envelope fit).
• Every web asset (FreeCAD parts, browser geometry, specs, thumbnails) is baked from validated entries; a failing entry stops the bake. wall_instances.yaml is now generated from the entries.
• Construction systems are data: the editor carries a system manifest per construction set and ships a Village Construction Set (VCS-12) demonstrator palette, baked from vcs-library — design work by Catarina.
• The editor is hosted: https://opensourceecology.github.io/iconic-cad/
• Output validation surfaced framing defects invisible to the compiler-parity tests (#12); they are tracked openly alongside the M0 geometry-trust findings, which remain the gate for build-ready output.

Ecosystem shipped alongside v2: vcs-library (validated parts + toolkit), library site (every entry browsable with 3D, drawings, BOMs, validation status), library workbench (the authoring loop inside FreeCAD).
