MeshToFeatures is a workbench that reverse-engineers STL meshes of
prismatic parts into editable PartDesign bodies (surface recognition,
parameter snapping, feature detection, build-history reconstruction).

You've got a "tests" directory at the top-level -- this is going to create conflicts with the global namespace. It's important that all of the work of your addon be encapsulated in the namespaced subdirectory to prevent this pollution. In general your addon should have literally nothing at the top-level except the metadata files -- all code should be nested in the freecad/meshtofeatures_wb subdirectory (it's fine to have "docs" as long as there's no code in there, but even it would be best in the subdirectory).

I've also dropped you a small PR: MasoudMiM/MeshToFeatures#2

[MasoudMiM]

Restructured as requested in v0.17.1 (tagged): nothing at the top level except metadata files, the geometry core is now freecad/meshtofeatures_wb/core/, and tests/, scripts/, and docs/ moved under the namespaced subdirectory as well. Thanks for the package.xml fixes, merged.

v0.17.2 tagged: dependency-gate fix and Flatpak install docs from a user report (MasoudMiM/MeshToFeatures#3), no structural changes.
