Add the start-up-transient clip and a solved still of the flow-past sample to
the examples gallery: air flowing past the L-bracket, the wake forming behind
the upright and the drag settling over the 16 s run (it does not shed; that
needs a finer grid or a collision operator stable near the lattice's stability
limit, #557).
tools/flow-clip/make.py regenerates them: it drives the desktop app over the
control channel, solves the lattice Boltzmann step with a dense frame output,
renders the model-only viewport at each frame with a fixed legend clamp
(results.frame then ui.render), and encodes an MP4 and a GIF with ffmpeg, each
frame captioned with the elapsed flow time. The geometry is the sample's own
upright-bracket recipe; nothing comes from a commercial product.
Part of #164.
The results start on the undeformed shape (scale 0) and the deformation
swings, eased, from 0 to x150, back and out again, one picture per frame.
The video ends on a 60-frame camera orbit round the deformed beam
instead of cuts between views. The results camera is drawn back so the
contour legend leaves the beam clear, and each stage holds 2-3 s.

A band under the window names the tool behind each stage (open, mesh,
batch, check_model, solve, show_results). caption.py draws the bars in the
standard library from the interface's Inter SemiBold (OFL): a minimal
TrueType glyf reader, a non-zero scanline rasteriser and a zlib PNG
writer, unit-tested with python3 -m unittest. ffmpeg pads each picture
and composites the bar with its overlay filter.

The demo used the corpus I-beam, which is extruded along z and so stood
upright. A new corpus part, cantilever-i-beam, is the same section on the
YZ plane extruded along x, web upright: a sweep along a horizontal axis
for the meshers, and a cantilever that bends downward on screen. The
i-beam part is unchanged (its corpus row and the meshing tests keep it).
The demo clamps it at x = 0 and loads the free end with 1000 N in -z
through a kinematic coupling, and now checks the solution against beam
theory and stops when it is off: tip deflection (bending plus shear)
within 3 %, root bending stress (stress_xx along the top flange,
extrapolated to the root, nodes from the Abaqus deck) within 2 %.
docs/meshing/corpus.md regenerated with the new part.

An I-beam cantilever from the corpus is opened, hex meshed, defined, solved and shown with von
Mises contours and a swinging deformed shape, every step an MCP tool call bridged to the
desktop app and every picture the MCP screenshot of the window; ffmpeg encodes the MP4 and GIF.
