The freecad/ directory is not a Python package (no __init__.py) — it is added directly to sys.path by FreeCAD. The relative import 'from .silo_commands import ...' fails when silo_origin is imported as a top-level module, causing Silo origin registration to silently fail. Change to absolute import 'from silo_commands import ...' to match the import style used everywhere else in the directory.
