Anville (ray-aqno)MCADConfidence: Medium

Anville reviews machined parts against a shop profile from a STEP file, but the only working connector was Onshape, while SolidWorks and Fusion hosting is general knowledge, not tried, and the fix branch writes Onshape features that would not carry over. PR #68 builds a local STEP source and sink so the review loop runs without any CAD API.
