project_trimmed accepted the analytic projection within a fifth of the nearest
triangle's size; a plane face's triangles can span the whole face, so nodes in a
3 mm fillet landed on the untrimmed box planes (mesh volume = the unfilleted box).

A block topology (carved grid, butterfly and seven-block sphere templates,
O-grid, extrude, connect) projected onto a body: outer block faces onto their
smooth face groups, edges onto the curve of two targets and vertices onto the
point of three by tangent-plane iteration, nodes by transfinite interpolation,
then Winslow smoothing with the boundary on the geometry and a compass search
on the worst elements.

fieldcraft_model::progress: a host installs a Progress on the worker thread
and reads its snapshot from another; the engine names the step being solved,
the nonlinear solver its load factor, the explicit solver its time, the
fluid solver its steps, transient heat its increments and the tet mesher its
stage and pass. Without one installed every report is a no-op (#322, #357).

Delaunay refinement split a boundary face edge at its midpoint even when that
midpoint lay inside the diametral sphere of a feature edge beside it. Each such
split halves the face vertices' distance to the curve, so they piled up against
it (the heated bracket grew face vertices 0.016 mm from a 4 mm-sized edge), the
improvement schedule could not lift the tetrahedra there to its target, and
inserted vertex after vertex around them: 29257 elements and about two minutes
to open instead of 23641 and 6 s. The SolidCraft pin move (4c91f9b) added one
interior vertex to the bracket's end faces, which changed the CDT enough to
expose it.
Following Shewchuk (1998), an encroaching midpoint now splits the encroached
feature edge instead.

The seed's spacing becomes size-field samples the field grades from, and
after coarsening its nodes are put on the feature curve and pinned, so the
edge has exactly the seeded divisions at the seeded spacing. The quality
report gives, per seed, the boundary edges along it.
Part of #230.

The end-to-end demo met a raw-CDT sliver that the validity gate accepted (exactly positive) and
the solver refused. Now:
- One validity criterion, `fieldcraft_model::admissible_jacobian` (normalized Jacobian above
1e-12), used by the implicit solver (fem `positive_inverse`), the explicit tet4/hex8
kinematics and the mesh gate, which proves it on the whole element (tet4: the solvers' own
Jacobian; curved kinds: a Bernstein floor), so whatever passes the gate passes the solvers.
- CDT rounding repaired by flips on the rounded mesh (Diazzi et al. 2023 §5.1) instead of the
±2-ulp nudge.
- `fieldcraft-mesh::tet`: a mutable tetrahedral complex whose every change is a checked
replacement (positive and admissible tetrahedra, faces matched with opposite orientation) with
an exact undo log; edge removal (Klincsek), multi-face removal, Delaunay insertion with
boundary faces, edge collapse; a curvature- and thickness-graded size field; constrained
Delaunay refinement with encroachment splits; ODT smoothing; the Klingner–Shewchuk schedule;
boundary vertices moved onto the exact B-rep surfaces at the end; tet10 with mid-edge nodes on
the geometry.
- `mesh.tet.generate` gains size, order, quality, quality_target, curvature_angle, grading,
max_passes, max_points and reports the CDT's and the mesh's quality; `solve.probe` takes a set
and reports its largest von Mises stress.
- Oracle cases filleted-bracket-fillet-stress(-coarse): the fillet's peak von Mises stress on
tet10 meshes of 2k and 13.5k elements, 213.3 MPa (a four-level study stays within 1.8%); the
CDT cases keep the raw tetrahedralization.
- Corpus quality columns: all 20 valid parts mesh and pass the gate.
