C3D-0350 · READ-ONLY: enumerate point label styles and inspect PointGroupQuery [C3D-APIPROBE3] done

C3D-0349 gave the PointGroup API (SetQuery/GetQuery for membership, PointGroups.Add, DrawOrder for priority) but died enumerating label styles. This opens each label style ObjectId properly and lists the names, does the same for point styles, then dumps every property and method on PointGroupQuery so group membership can be defined correctly. Also checks the E: data folder. Writes nothing.
