Improved readability of `armature_deform.cc` high level API functions
by using spans, references, and optional values instead of raw pointers.
Threading callbacks are reorganized to avoid unused function parameters
in code branches and makes it easier to verify which parts of the code
are executed for given input arguments.

Previously in 95259228d9, property names
within geometry nodes panels are trimmed to make it less verbose if the
property name contains the parent panel's name as prefix, this didn't
take into account where property name can be the same as panel name, in
which case there will be an empty property name which is undesired. So
we should not trim the name in this case.

Previously when joining a stroke from other layers, those original
strokes are kept even when joining mode isn't "Join and Copy". Now the
operator will correctly remove the incoming strokes from their original
layers.

The root cause of the crash was that currently the depsgraph does not support
being rebuilt twice without being evaluated in the meantime. While not ideal to
rebuild the depsgraph twice, it's really something I'd expect to work without
crashes/leaks.
The double-rebuild when switching the scene was introduced by b6e1afb6e1
which tagged the depsgraph relations indirectly. Tagging relations at that place
should be valid though. The same bug can easily be reproduced by explicitly
writing code that rebuilds the depsgraph twice as shown in
https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/issues/139079#issuecomment-1615029.
So far, we've found two places that need to be fixed to properly support
rebuilding the depsgraph before it has been evaluated:
* `update_invalid_cow_pointers`: `previously_visible_components_mask` was used
to check if the id is new and therefore not expanded yet. However, this check
is wrong in the case when the depsgraph was not evaluated yet. Instead, check
whether the ID is expanded directly. IDs which don't use copy-on-eval are
still handled properly due to another existing check.
* `DepsgraphNodeBuilder::begin_build`: This just discarded
allocated-but-not-expanded IDs without freeing them. Now they are freed when
their ownership is not transferred to `IDInfo`.

Fix crash when tweaking following gizmos:
- Box Mask
- Ellipse Mask
- Crop
This commit uses the same workaround to trigger an update for gizmos
(see also Sun Beams, Corner Pin and previous versions of the above
mentioned gizmos).
A better solution is needed for gizmo updates. This will be
investigated and submitted separately.

"Median" can have:
- a geometrical meaning, as in the median of points in a mesh,
- a statistical meaning, as in the median of a set of values. Used
in node attribute statistics.
This commit adds the specific "NodeTree" translation context to the
latter sense.
Reported by Satoshi Yamasaki in #43295.
"Edges" usually refers to the edges of a mesh. In the context of the
Keying compositing node, it should be the image processing sense of
edges between color areas. This mirrors the singular "Edge", already
similarly disambiguated.
Reported by Satoshi Yamasaki in #43295.
"Strip" generally is a sequencer or animation strip, but in this
context it is a string manipulation action for file names. It is
defined as part of the Path Mode defined in the FBX and OBJ exporters.
Those exporters are defined in Python and C++, respectively. This
commit changes both exporters to use the "File browser" translation
context.
In addition, the tooltip for "Relative" from the FBX exporter was
changed to match its OBJ counterpart, and the "Strip Path" mode was
also matched to the other version which reads better as an enum item.
Reported by Ye Gui in #43295.
Link items need to be gathered using the same translation context as
the actual enum prop they come from, in this case "Nodetree".
Reported by Ye Gui in #43295.
Node socket tooltips can include substrings from many different
sources. This commit adds two that were previously untranslated:
- hardcoded strings that simply need to be manually translated using
`TIP_()`,
- the socket name, which should use its context. This simply copies
the translation code from the socket name label.
Reported by Gabriel Gazzán in #43295.
Job names displayed in the status bar were not extracted or
translated. This commit adds a regex to the bl_i18n_utils settings to
detect `WM_jobs_get()`, and the `RPT_` translation macro to translate
the message in the UI.
About 30 new messages are translated.
Reported by Ye Gui in #43295.
This node uses the recently-introduced uiLayout API to draw its UI.
This still needs to do manual translation using `IFACE_()`. This
commit adds this macro.
Reported by Ye Gui in #43295.
New sequence strip modifiers get a name that is to be translated if
translation of data is enabled. This used the default translation
context, but "Sequence" must be used because this is the context used
to extract the modifier names (`modifiersTypes` array in modifier.cc).
Reported by Ye Gui in #43295.
Node tree interface sockets can have subtypes depending on their type.
These use enum items extracted elsewhere using the "Unit" translation
context. The sockets' subtypes thus need to use the same context as
well.
Reported by Satoshi Yamasaki in #43295.
Using armature deformation with a lattice object that doesn't have
vertex groups creates an invalid span that crashes during deformation.
This was caused by refactoring which replaced raw pointers with spans,
but has to check for nullptr to avoid creating an invalid span.

When only handles were selected they could not be set.

Makes it possible to use non-trivial C++ types in `FileListEntryCache`.
I'm planning to use this for blender/blender!130543, to store status
information about downloaded previews. While it's possible to use
C-style types instead, this is easier and a worthwhile general
improvement.
I turned `FileList.filelist_cache` into an allocated pointer, so
`FileList` doesn't have to be ported to be a non-trivial type as well.
We probably want to do that too at some point.

In rotation-based transform operations, the rotation axis can be
determined in two ways:
1. Through "orient_axis" (X, Y or Z)
2. Through "constraint_axis"
When the axis is obtained through the constraint, "orient_axis" is
ignored, and the angle may be negated depending on the view orientation
to match the mouse movement.
However, "orient_axis" never has its angle negated. Since the default
orientation is "View", the Z axis is inverted by default, aligning with
the mouse movement but not with the constraint axis.
This causes problems in the Redo Panel because the constraint fields
are hidden in the Rotation operation, so they need to be unset for the
Axis field to work. However, if you change the value of the Rotation
field, the object may have its rotation negated unexpectedly.
This issue was partially shown in #93078. Commit c30e6a37b0 attempted
to fix it by unsetting the constraint property when the Axis was
changed. However, this solution is incomplete: if the Axis is changed
and then reverted, the negative rotation issue reappears. In addition,
it has not been implemented in all operations.
This commit resolves the issue by reverting c30e6a37b0, aligning the
behavior of "orient_axis" and "constraint_axis", and unsetting
"constraint_axis" in `saveTranform`.
A downside of this solution is that it may break operators invoked from
Python that rely on "orient_axis" as the rotation axis, as the rotation
value now needs to be negated.

**Problem Description**
Blender's current mesh data layout often lacks spatial coherence,
causing performance bottlenecks during BVH construction for sculpting
and painting operations. Each time a BVH is built, the system must
recompute spatial partitioning and vertex groupings from scratch,
leading to redundant calculations and suboptimal memory access patterns.
**Proposed Solution**
This patch implements pre-computed spatial organization of mesh data
through a new `mesh_apply_spatial_organization()` function that:
- Reorders vertices and faces based on spatial locality using recursive
spatial partitioning.
- Stores pre-computed MeshGroup hierarchies in MeshRuntime for reuse.
- Enables the BVH system to bypass expensive spatial computation when
pre-organized data is available.
This approach separates the expensive spatial computation from more
frequent BVH rebuilds, providing sustained performance improvements
across multiple sculpting operations.
**Limitations**
- Requires manual invocation (occurs automatically only during remesh
operations).
- Additional memory overhead for storing MeshGroup metadata.
- One-time computational cost during initial organization.
- Spatial group references are not yet stored in files.
**User Interface**
The feature is accessible via a new "Reorder Mesh Spatially" operator in
the Mesh Data Properties panel under the Geometry Data section. Users
can invoke it manually when needed, or it will be applied automatically
during quadriflow and voxel remesh operations. The operator provides
feedback confirming successful spatial reordering.

The soft eraser could leave points with zero opacity. To fix this issue
for now, we apply a post-process step when the stroke is done to remove
these points.
In the future, it would be better to refactor the eraser a bit more and
delete points during the stroke.

Add support to select multiple tree view elements (similar to outliner/anim channels)
`Ctrl + LMB` to select+activate element under the mouse
`Shift + LMB` to select all items between active and clicked item.
As of now, only Shape key has support for multi-select. (straightforward to include
other views). `KEYBLOCK_SEL` flag is used for storing selection state.

You could basically not interact with the animation (except for
keyframes in the main region), channels region was totally empty, NLA
could not be used, ...
It is not something users will animate a lot, but we should still have
animation editors in mind when adding a new object type.

Adjust angle threshold defaults to dissolve verts as before,
while preserving selected geometry.
The new behavior works as follows:
- If a dissolve terminates on an edge loop or the the corner vert of a
face, do the dissolve.
- If a set of dissolve edges (either a chain, or a set of 3+ edges)
crosses a loop cut, do the dissolve.
- If a chain of dissolve edges touch the corner of an unselected face,
and then leave in a different direction without crossing a loop cut,
preserve that vert. Just because the selection touches it doesn't mean
it should be altered.
- If a dissolve edge is separating two triangles,
then the face join creates a quad. Users generally prefer
and strive to create meshes that contain quads.
Instead of destructively dissolving the corners of the quad and
automatically turning it to a triangle or wire,
instead prefer to preserve the quad.

Cursor is actually wrapped at the beginning with the help of function
`WM_cursor_grab_enable`. Though the `ND_MODE` event notifier added
inside `editmode_enter/exit_ex` further calls `region_cusor_set()`.
This resets the cursor to default at the bottom of
`ED_region_cursor_set()`. Such sitution could be avoided by creating a
dummy cursor function for hud region. But issue remains when we call
redo panel from F9. As Julian suggested, add condition for `grabcursor`
to avoid changing cursor when editing buttons.

Use fixed speed values for translations in Fly mode to constant
values for each axis. Until now, after switching to the Fly mode,
the latest speed value calculated based on RegionView3D::dist
was used for translations.
Now, the translation speed in Fly mode is an adjusted constant
for each axis.
