+ * `design.create.*` — author new scene-committed BIM entities.

+ * Every creator takes geometry handles + scalars and returns a
+ * {@linkcode ComponentHandle} (or `ComponentHandle[]` for plural creators;
+ * `wallRuns` returns one `ComponentHandle[]` per run) — the
+ * `Component.id` of the created entity, resolvable across the rest of the
+ * `design.*` surface. Creation is an undoable host call; it **throws** on failure
+ * (no `Result` wrapper — consistent with `core.geom.create.*`).
+ *
+ * Footprint objects take a {@linkcode ContourHandle} (outer profile + holes);
+ * build one with `snaptrude.core.geom.create.contourFromProfile(s)`.
+ *
+ * `door`/`window` place a catalog item into a host wall (the world point is
+ * projected onto the wall face to locate the opening; the wall is re-cut in one
+ * undo entry) and throw if the point projects outside the wall. `smartLayout` is
+ * the one creator returning a grouped {@linkcode PluginSmartLayoutResult} rather
+ * than a handle — it clones an in-scene template into one or more target spaces,
+ * merging every target into a single undo batch (see its JSDoc).
