+# Goal: Complete the PythonOCC Core backend for topologicpy
+
+Make `src/topologicpy/pythonocc_backend/` pass topologicpy's `Core` backend
+contract well enough that `Core.SetBackend(PythonOCCBackend)` is a real
+drop-in replacement for `topologic_core` — not a demo.
+
+## Ground truth
+
+- Spec: `TopologicPy_Replacement_Backend_Developer_Guide.docx`. Read it in
+  full — all tables via `python-docx`'s `d.tables`, not just paragraphs.
+  Treat it as authoritative over anything below.
+- Appendix A ("Minimum backend checklist") and §13 (test plan) define
+  "done."
+- Check `git log`/`git diff` in this repo before assuming anything is
+  broken or missing — prior work has already landed some fixes. Trust
+  what you observe over any stale summary, including this one.
+
+## What matters most
+
+Judge priority by how much of the checklist a fix unlocks, not by a fixed
+list. As a compass:
+- Non-manifold `CellComplex` (real shared faces across multiple cells) is
+  the single most important behavior in Topologic — if it's faked (e.g.
+  wrapping a single Cell), that's the highest-value fix.
+- The guide's type IDs are bit flags, not sequential (Vertex=1, doubling
+  per type up to Topology=4096) — get this right early since much else
+  dispatches on it.
+- Anything the guide defines as able to "fail" must return `None`, not an
+  empty/sentinel object.
+- Prefer a smaller surface that's real and tested over broad stub
+  coverage.
+
+## Freedom
+
+Decide what to fix and in what order, as long as you move the checklist
+forward without regressing what already works. Use your own judgment on
+trade-offs — no external list here is mandatory.
+
+## Constraints
+
+- Work only in `pythonocc_backend/` — don't touch the abandoned
+  `PythonOCCBackend.py` single-file version.
+- Don't touch the Mojo repos (`topokernel`/`geokernel`) — separate effort,
+  see `C:\Github\DigitalEngineer\topokernel\MOJO_BACKEND_GOAL.md`.
+- Keep TopologicPy's analytical algorithms out of the backend — it's a
+  primitive kernel + persistence layer only (guide §1).
+- Run tests when PythonOCC is actually installed; say plainly when you
+  can't verify rather than claiming untested code works.
+- Don't commit; leave changes in the working tree for review.
+
+## Acceptance
+
+Appendix A's checklist and §13's test plan pass against
+`Core.SetBackend(PythonOCCBackend)`, verified by actually running tests
+with PythonOCC installed — not just code review.

+Audit the PythonOCC backend against the topologicpy wrapper layer.
+
+For every backend namespace (Vertex, Edge, Wire, Face, Shell, Cell,
+CellComplex, Cluster, Graph, Topology, and their *Utility classes):
+
+  1. LIVE-GAP: wrapper static methods that the wrapper dispatches to the
+     backend via `Core.InstanceCall(<obj>, "MethodName", ...)` but which are
+     NOT present on the backend native class. These are real breakages
+     (they would raise AttributeError/TypeError at runtime).
+
+  2. STUB: backend methods that still call `not_implemented()` (print
+     "... - Not implemented.") or raise NotImplementedError.
+
+  3. (Optional) SMOKE: backend factory/constructor methods that return
+     None when handed valid inputs.
