[QGIS-Developer] How to get the rotation angle from the Rotate Tool in Advanced Digitizing Toolbar

[Catania, Luke A ERDC-RDE-GRL-VA CIV]

When I run the rotate tool in the Advanced Digitizing Toolbar it pops up a small window that allows you to change the snap to angle and show the angle the selected feature is rotated to.  Is there a way to get access to the angle through python?

        actions = iface.mainWindow().findChildren(QAction)
        self.action_rotate_feature = [x for x in actions if x.objectName()=='mActionRotateFeature'][0]

        self.placed_element_layer.selectAll()

        # Inititates rotate feature action allowing to select a snap to value.
        self.action_rotate_feature.trigger()

My problem is I call this tool on a layer where I programmatically select the features to rotate.  I can see they are all rotating but when I edit my session as below only one of the features gets unrotated somehow,  If I do not end the edit session as below and I allow the user to toggle editing off all the layers stay rotated until I exit QGIS and then QGIS unexpectedly ends.


        if self.element_rotated:
            self.placed_element_layer.commitChanges()
            self.placed_element_layer.endEditCommand()

I have posted the issue about features rotating and then some getting unrotated after the edit session was programmatically ended and the solution provided did not work and after replying I have not yet heard back from the person that helped.  So I though as a work around if I can get the angle from the rotate tool and run the processing tool processing.run("native:rotatefeatures") using that angle I can rotate the features in the layer using that tool.
