constraint.childof_set_inverse

• ✅ context override
• 📋 can be overridden using object (🛠️context_active_object())
• 📋 constraint context member can be provided to automatically fill operator args constraint (constraint name) and owner
• constraint is Constraint works only if operator started with .invoke()
• constraint must be one of the object constraints

clip.add_marker

• POLL_INTERNAL: ED_space_clip_tracking_poll
• POLL:
• 📋 area.type == CLIP_EDITOR
• 📋 area.spaces.active.clip is not None
• 📋 area.spaces.active.mode == TRACKING
• ✅ context override

mesh.primitive_cube_add

• ⬜ context is not used
• clear previous selection
• newly added object is set as active and selected

mesh.separate

• In OBJECT mode:
• ✅ context override
• 📋 can be overridden using selected_editable_objects
• 📋 TAG_ACTIVE_OBJECT_NOT_AFFECTED
• In EDIT_MESH mode:
• ❌ context override
• 📋 basically it affects context.objects_in_mode, but doesn’t use this actual context member
• 📋 therefore it ignores selected objects that are in OBJECT mode, doesn’t require explicit selection and skips hidden objects
• 📋 ‘by selection’ separates selection for each object separately (e.g. if 1 face selected in N objects results in N separated objects)
• In both modes:
• 📋 newly added objects are selected (original objects selection status is not affected)
• 📋 newly objects (and their data) retain props from original separated objects (and their data)

object.convert

• ✅ context override
• can be overridden using selected_editable_objects
• object is not recreated, even if object type is changed
• active object is not affected

object.delete

• POLL: selected_objects should not be empty
• ✅ context override
• can be overridden using selected_objects
• active object is not affected

object.editmode_toggle

• POLL: active_object is required and it should be EDITable
• ❌ context override
• check view layer active object explicitly
• check view layer selected objects explicitly (non-EDITable objects are ignored)

object.hide_view_set

• POLL_INTERNAL: object_hide_poll
• POLL:
• 📋 area.type == VIEW_3D
• 📋 or (area.type == OUTLINER and area.spaces.active.display_mode in ('SCENES', 'VIEW_LAYER', 'LIBRARIES'))
• ❌ context override
• hide selected/unselected objects in viewport (EYE icon)
• check view layer selected objects explicitly
• active object is not affected

object.join

• POLL: active_object is required and it should be EDITable
• ✅ context override
• can be overridden using selected_editable_objects and active_object
• objects that don’t match active_object type are ignored from selected_editable_objects
  (e.g. Curves when Mesh is active)
• active object is the join target and it should also be selected

object.make_single_user

• ❌ context override
• check view layer selected objects explicitly
• active object is not affected

object.mode_set

• POLL: active_object is required and it should be EDITable
• ❌ context override
• check view layer active object explicitly
• check view layer selected objects explicitly (non-EDITable objects are ignored)

object.modifier_apply

• POLL_INTERNAL: modifier_apply_poll
• POLL: undocumented
• ✅ context override
• affects just one object - context.object
• active object is not affected, because operator needs to support being applied to pinned object

object.select_all

• POLL_INTERNAL: objects_selectable_poll
• POLL:
• 📋 context.edit_object is None
• 📋 and (context.active_object is None or context.active_object.mode == OBJECT)
• 🧩 partial context override
• context override only supported for passing poll check
• manipulate view layer objects selection explicitly
• return FINISHED if there were any changes in selection
• return PASS_THROUGH if there were no changes but no objects are visible, otherwise return CANCELLED

object.transform_apply

• ✅ context override
• can be overridden using selected_editable_objects
• active object is not affected

outliner.delete

• POLL: area.type == OUTLINER
• ❌ context override
• check outliner tree for selected IDs explicitly (ignore selected_ids)
• active object is not affected

view3d.camera_to_view_selected

• POLL_INTERNAL: 🛠️ED_operator_scene_editable
• POLL:
• 📋context.scene is set and is editable
• 🧩 partial context override
• context override is only supported for passing area and scene
• check view layer selected objects explicitly (🛠️base_flag & BASE_SELECTED)
• if area with type == VIEW3D is provided, then SpaceView3D.camera is used,
  otherwise scene.camera is used

view3d.camera_to_view

• POLL_INTERNAL: view3d_camera_to_view_poll
• POLL:
• 📋area.type == VIEW_3D
• 📋region = region from area.regions with type WINDOW
• 📋 active scene camera should not be None
• 📋 viewport is not in camera view (RegionView3D.view_perspective != CAMERA)
• ✅ context override
• updates camera view for the scene’s active camera
