OpenSCAD
OpenSCAD matters less as a back-end dependency than as a design philosophy reference. It demonstrated that code can be a legitimate modeling surface and that authored, versionable design input has real value.
How EngineeringOS Uses It
EngineeringOS should learn from OpenSCAD's programmable-model mindset, Git-friendly workflow, and disciplined relationship between authored text and derived geometry. It can also support OpenSCAD export where useful.
Boundary
EngineeringOS should not inherit OpenSCAD's geometry syntax as its own engineering language, and it should not treat OpenSCAD as the center of the architecture. The reuse is philosophical and selective, not structural.
