engine: the I-beam cantilever sample (ibeam, #143)

The README video's model as a sample: the corpus cantilever-i-beam design opened as geometry, swept all-hex, clamped at F2:start, 1 kN on F2:top through a kinematic coupling; static step Load. It has a Start-card thumbnail and a gallery capture; a test checks its tip deflection against beam theory with shear.

+The 200 mm steel I-beam of the README video (`tests/corpus/cantilever-i-beam`), opened as
+SolidCraft geometry with persistent face names, swept all-hex (hex8 of 4 mm, incompatible modes),
+clamped at `F2:start` and loaded with 1000 N down through a kinematic coupling to `F2:top`.
+**Look at:** the bending stress in the flanges, highest at the clamp; the tip moves 0.18 mm down
+(beam theory with shear: 0.184 mm).
