@globalcitizen can you elaborate a bit what the issue is please.

I assume I need to update some documentation, but what specifically is not clear?

[globalcitizen]

It looks like your code is searching for a layer that is not present in the DXF file.

BaseException: (1, 'Layer CUT is not present in DXF file.')

If this is a requirement, I did not see it documented. Anyway, I am switching to OpenSCAD which apparently has DXF import and extrusion as a first-order feature plus loads of other cool features.

Yes, the way it works is you have a CUT layer which are outer perimeters and a HOLES layer, which as the name suggests, represent the parts that are cut out of CUT layer. You can name the layers how you want as long as you define that names in the yaml file.
