I see, the Alpha label is a misleading default label, when git is not available for build.
So I assume you've downloaded the code by zip package and built LibreCAD yourself.
Means, you have latest release candidate, just with wrong label.

Concerning the rest, I think I can't follow, even when I translate the surveying functions to my mother tongue.
So it's hard for me to evaluate your plans. I can't imagine what these functions should do and if this is possible with a plugin.
Should the plugin be used on an existing drawing, to modify it or to add entities?
Or should it create a new drawing from a bunch of coordinate data?

A pitfall that comes to my mind for COGO functionality, is the loss of precision for big numbers, e.g. real world geo location coordinates.
It is reported, that some functions like trimming, intersect or tangent functions fail for big coordinates and numbers, far from origin.
