The crank arm's back pocket ends on the planes x = 48 and x = 130, its frame sides. The plan
put its frame cuts there; the kernel cannot cut along a face (#427), so both were skipped and
the cell between the bosses swept the pocket's rounded ends into fans. A frame side on a face
of the body now moves one element out of the opening (away from the rectangle's middle),
leaving a strip one element wide; both cuts are made.

#462 visited nodes by a mirror-invariant key (distance from the centroid). On the cup with a
handle that order sweeps ring by ring round the axis and converges worse in its 100 sweeps: the
refined cup fell to a scaled Jacobian of 0.481 (needs 0.5, #440). In the lattice's own order
it holds, and the order gained the enclosure base little (its corners differ by 0.02 either
way), so it goes; the compass search's lift to 0.7 stays.

The compass search after the sweeps only lifted elements below 0.5 (the quality floor), so a
mesh whose worst elements sat just above it stayed there: every corner of an enclosure base
stopped at a scaled Jacobian of 0.50-0.52 where its walls meet the corner bosses. It now lifts
every element below 0.7, never lowering another below the lower of its own value and 0.5.
The sweeps and the search are Gauss-Seidel, so the node order shaped the result and mirror
image corners smoothed differently. Nodes are now visited by a key that a mirror or a quarter
turn about the nodes' centroid keeps (distance from it, then the sorted offsets along the
axes). What spread is left between mirrored corners (0.686 vs 0.702 on the test base) is most likely the projection onto the body's
tessellation, which the kernel does not make mirror symmetric (not yet proven).

geometry.check keeps its findings on the session (not an edit: not journalled,
saved or undone) while the checked design stays open; the picture and the app's
viewport draw the faces of small, sliver and near faces in the marker colour,
short edges as thick lines and a dot at each finding over everything. `mark:
false` or a clean check clears them.

The journal keeps the startup step the app is in (phase) and the renderer
(set_environment) across rebases; an unclean exit before the first frame is
reported "during startup (<step>, N s after launch)". native_paths() is where
a native exception filter writes what it caught and a minidump; the next
start puts the exception code, module+offset and thread into the report and
moves the minidump into its folder. Adapted from SolidCraft's crash.rs.

The crank ends at 8, 16, 20 and 22 mm, so no one-to-one sweep takes it.
The sweep met one of those caps as a linking face and reported "linking
face has no top side". A plane parallel to the source that only part of a
ring reaches is now named as what it is, with extrude pointed to. The arm's
profile alone sweeps as well as extrude does.

A boss the body's walls run into had its circle crossed by the walls' planes, so the projection
layout refused it and the plan fell back to swept cells, fanning round the boss and its hole.
Such a boss is now framed by the square round its whole circle, subdivided by the planes that
cross it; every square inside (the hole's, the core) is divided alike, so the ring's blocks meet
the walls node to node. On the walls' side the frame stops at their inner plane and its corner
projects onto the middle of the inner fillet, which the ring takes in (a boss just touching the
fillet included: no sliver). Cylinders a fillet's history names but that are a ring's circle are
the ring's faces. Rings are built per patch of grid cells, the one-cell O-grid being the
simplest patch.

The kernel's last-resort boolean retry moves the tool 1.3 µm and turns it
2 µrad. For a partition that puts the cut beside the face it was meant to
run along and leaves a cell bounded by slivers (the open boundary at x = 130
on the crank half). halves() now refuses a result-altering retry and names it.

A smooth loop (straight sides running tangent into arcs, as a slot or a
rounded pocket) is meshed as a disk. Its middle block was a square halfway
to the loop's quarter points, which on the crank's 6:1 pocket floor
squashed elements to a scaled Jacobian of 0.16. The block is now a
rectangle on the region's principal axes, inset by the same distance all
round (the old square on a circle), its corners paired with the loop nodes
nearest their diagonals, its sides spaced as the nodes they pair with, and
the O-grid is smoothed (untangled first) before the validity check.

The kernel failure is reported as such since #381; the failure itself came
from split_by_plane's oversized boxes, which #384 replaced with body-sized
ones. The regression test now requires the cut (x = 110, 148, reversed
normal, the diagonal plane) from commands, with the cells' volumes adding up.

The projection layout gave every fillet a blend layer along the sides it runs between, so a
screw hole close to a rounded corner sat inside the layer and the plan fell back to frame cuts
and swept cells, which fan into the hole. A corner fillet that lies inside the square from the
hole to the two sides is now taken in by the hole's O-grid ring: the frame reaches both sides,
its outer corner projects onto the middle of the fillet, and no layer is needed. An O-grid's
frame is centred on its hole (a near side is the frame, the far side as far), and the plan
reports the layout's frames and drops the frame-cut notes when it does not cut.

Topology::split cuts a block at given fractions and every block chained to it
through parallel edges, orienting the fractions through the chain, so the
topology stays conforming. A certified-invalid element is reported with its

The section comes from a set (a 2D mesh or element faces), the mesh already
on the source faces (tagged, or a neighbouring body's boundary lying on
them, whose nodes are shared so the meshes conform), or a fresh quad mesh
of one planar face. Target and side faces project through the tet mesher's
B-rep projection. Replaces the body's mesh like the other meshers, tags the
body's own source, target and side faces, and is on the MCP mesh tool as
hex_extrude.

Every tied interface between cells of one design body carries `why`: the tet cell (and why
auto fell back), the reason the body's cells did not sweep together, or the cell meshed alone
by its method; so an agent knows which cut or method to change.

A partition intersects the body with a box on each side of the plane as
large as the body itself. SolidCraft's split_by_plane uses boxes several
times larger, and its boolean then put the cut up to 1.8 um off the plane
on the enclosure's air, so the cut faces were not recognized and the cells
did not close. A plane along a face of a body it cuts, or a cell whose
boundary does not tessellate into one a mesher takes (a cut through a
hole's axis), is a warning naming the partition, the body and where.

Deleting, suppressing or editing a partition (or its datum), or cutting a
meshed body, removes the meshes of the bodies that are gone, reported as
replaced, in the same undo step. model.check lists meshes of partition
cells the open design no longer has (a model saved before the cut
changed), and mesh.clear removes them, or the meshes of named bodies.

A node on the secondary surfaces of two ties (a chip's underside and its
sides, a cut face and an outer face) got one constraint per tie. When the
main nodes of one follow the other's main surface, the second constraint is
nearly the first again, and eliminating it divided by round-off: the Pi 5
heat model put 21.9 W more in than its 8 W. Such a node now follows the
main faces of all its ties together (balanced to 5e-11 of the power), a
node following a node that follows it back (a tie each way on one
interface) is an error naming both ties, and a tie row that still nearly
repeats the constraints before it is an error naming them.
mesh.cells ties one way by a fixed order of the cells (hex main to tet)
and makes one tie per tied cell, tie_<cell>, replacing the ties an earlier
run made, so its own ties never hold a node twice.

hex_mesh_swept_cells lays out one cross-section for several cells: every
cell's walls (its cut faces included) are imprinted together, every cell's
levels are levels of all, one interval assignment and one set of layers,
and each region of each level interval is filled by the cell it lies in.
Cells meet node for node across every cut, T-junctions included.
mesh.cells sweeps the cells of each design body together first and meshes
cell by cell only what does not sweep together (saying why); the reply
gives every cell's volume, scaled Jacobian and edge ratio.
