CommandSpec gains `requires: &[Requirement]` (crates/engine/src/requirement.rs): an open
design, geometry, nodes, a mesh, something to analyse, materials and sections for the
elements, sets, the definition an edit or delete acts on, a step, a result. Session::execute
checks them before running, so a command missing one fails at once with no partial work,
naming each missing piece and the toolbar entry that provides it ("Needs a material —
Properties › Material"). Requirements are real prerequisites (the model's own reference
checks and model.check's rules), never a workflow order. engine.commands / list_commands
list them.

geometry.open with "model": "new" cleared the model but kept the session's
file path, so File > Save wrote the new model over the previous one. The path
and the revision saved there (which document the session is) were not part of
the undo state. A step now records the document when its command changed it:
the new model is untitled and unsaved; undo restores the old file and its

Opening a design over a model kept its mesh and every definition silently,
even when the design was another part (#145, #114). geometry.open now takes
`model`: "keep" (default: same-design reopen keeps the mesh and sets that
follow persistent face names) or "new" (clears mesh, definitions and
imported surfaces, keeps the unit system). The reply says whether the design
is `related` to the model's geometry references and lists `stale` mesh
bodies and sets. One undo step either way.

Plane strain, plane stress and axisymmetric models take contact pairs and
general (self) contact on the linear edges of tri3 and quad4 elements:
edges oriented out of their elements, the edge mortar of fem with the
thickness or 2 pi r in the weights, the element's area over the edge's
length as the thickness under it, and the in-plane rows of the tangent
blocks. Verified by the contact patch test in plane strain and
axisymmetric (to 1e-9 small sliding, 1e-4 finite), Hertz's line contact
on quad4 edges (Johnson 1985, 4.3; equal to the hex8 model's to 1e-5),
and a hybrid rubber C-ring closing on itself that moves node for node as
the one-layer solid ring.

An explicit step may ask for mass scaling to a target time increment (on
a set, or the whole model): elements whose stable increment is below it
get the density that reaches it, with their lumped masses, frequency
bound and hourglass scales; adiabatic heating keeps the physical
density. The run reports the elements scaled, the added mass in all and
per section with its fraction, a warning, and the added mass's kinetic
energy in the energy account. Verified on a uniform bar scaled to twice
its increment (added mass 3×, increment doubled, a quarter of the
kinetic energy left to the physical mass). ROADMAP and parity note the
hyperelastic materials and mass scaling.

Segment-to-segment penalty contact between element faces: each secondary
face and each main face facing it are projected onto the secondary face's
plane, split into triangles, clipped (Sutherland–Hodgman) and integrated
with a three-point rule per sub-triangle (Puso–Laursen segmentation, the
penalty at the integration points as Fischer–Wriggers), so a uniform
pressure gives the consistent nodal forces on both meshes and the contact
patch test passes on non-matching meshes. Every contact runs both ways at
half the penalty: pairs with each surface as the secondary, general and
self contact face against face. A bucket grid of face boxes every
increment, faces integrated in parallel and their forces added in face
order: the same numbers on any thread count.
The penalty per area ε = s γ min(m/A)/Δt² comes from the lumped masses,
each node's directional area and the stable increment, bounded by
Gershgorin's row sums so contact never shortens the increment. Coulomb
friction with exponential decay by a regularised return map at the
secondary nodes; rigid walls take Coulomb impulses. Contact work and
friction dissipation join the energy balance; each contact reports its
peak force, first and last contact, deepest penetration, friction and the
nodes adjusted at the start (initial penetrations adjusted strain-free or
refused with the node, face and depth); a cap on contact faces.
Verified (crates/explicit/tests/contact.rs, tests/oracle/explicit-*):
colliding bars (2L/c +1.2%, ρcAv₀/2, KE kept to 0.005%, contact energy
back to 8e-5 of it), blocks sliding to a stop on a rigid wall and on a
plate under constant and decaying friction (0.005–0.2%), the patch test
(σ_zz uniform to 0.06%), two spheres colliding against Hertz (peak +2.3%,
duration −0.4%; the oracle case waits for a graded sphere mesher), a free
body untouched by general contact, determinism across threads. Oracle
measures gain `over` (ratios). Existing fixtures do not move.

other's faces), general contact on a surface (self contact) or on every
exterior face of the solids; Coulomb friction with static and kinetic

adjust or refuse initially penetrating nodes, validated with caps. Rigid
walls of explicit steps gain friction. The check wants solid faces on

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.

Two more large-strain options on the isotropic constants, decoupled like
neo-Hookean with the volume kappa/2 (J - 1)^2: Mooney-Rivlin with C10 = mu/2 - C01
(0 <= C01 <= mu/2) and Yeoh with C10 = mu/2 and the higher terms C20, C30, so the
small-strain material is the elastic one everywhere. MaterialModel::Polynomial

Elements of a plastic material take the J2 material point: total Lagrangian
with nonlinear geometry, the small-strain loops without (elastic elements keep
their linear stiffness, so elastic results do not move). The plastic history is
committed per converged increment. Increments follow the step's load path,
ending at its points, the extrapolated predictor scaled by the change of the
load factor. Steps with path-dependent materials start an increment without a
predictor from the tangent predictor (the prescribed motion spread through the
converged tangent), and a first tangent that is not positive definite is a
cutback when the undeformed model's is. Refused by name: the Johnson-Cook rate
term (a static step has no time) and kinematic hardening at finite strain;
damage, erosion and adiabatic heating are left out with a warning. Results
carry the equivalent plastic strain at the integration points (solve.probe,
the step summary). LS-DYNA writes a load path as the step's curve; Abaqus
refuses it and a plastic deck of several general steps (Abaqus carries the

solve.nonlinear follows a nonlinear static step in load increments: dead
loads and prescribed displacements ramp with the load factor, a pressure
follows the deformed faces (its load stiffness symmetrised so the
supernodal Cholesky stays), the consistent tangent is refactored every
iteration with an optional line search, and an increment converges on
force, displacement and energy together. Increments start from the
extrapolated last one, grow after fast convergence and are cut back on
inversion, a non-finite or growing residual, an indefinite tangent or too
many iterations; the step stops cleanly at the minimum increment, the
increment cap or the Newton iteration limit. Elements are assembled in
parallel in label order (same bits on any thread count). Results carry

* Structured hex meshing: multi-level extrude and revolve, one-to-one sweep, mapped blocks (M5)
modelcraft_mesh::hex::hex_mesh meshes a face-tagged boundary surface with
hexahedra by the first structured method that fits: a straight or
rotational multi-level sweep (imprinted cross-section arrangement, cuts at
reflex corners, mapped/annulus/free regions), a one-to-one sweep through
rings of linking faces (least-squares affine layers with residual
correction), or a mapped logical cube (trivariate transfinite
interpolation). Interval assignment couples shared curves; boundary quads
carry B-rep face tags; the certified validity gate, a tiling check and a

Shape::face_surfaces exposes the analytic face surfaces; the corpus runner

* mesh.hex.generate: structured hex meshing as a command
Meshes one body, every body of the open design or an imported surface,
replaces the mesh, tags element faces with the B-rep faces (so sets by
geometry resolve) and reports per body the method, counts and quality.
The quality pass certifies each element once and feeds the validity gate
(quality::validity_gate_checks). Shape::size gives the cached body size
for defaults instead of a full measure.

* Hex: disk O-grids, convex interval cost, early size guard, hex20 corpus column
Smooth single-loop sections (cylinders, tori, vases) get a butterfly O-grid
instead of the free mesher; interval assignment raises counts by the
squared relative error so equal sides share increments evenly; a mesh far
beyond the element limit is refused before any work and mapped limits are
no longer swallowed. The corpus reports hex8 and hex20 quality.

* Catalogue: structured hex commands ready (mesh.hex.sweep, mesh.hex.mapped, mesh.hex.generate)
mesh.hex.sweep and mesh.hex.mapped run mesh.hex.generate with the sweeping
methods or the mapped one; mesh.hex.generate is the sweep entry's related
command. The planned M6 octree entry moves to mesh.hex.octree (its icon
renamed with it). docs/features.md regenerated.

* Hex: simplify review fixes
Prepare each sweep frame's cross-section once (arrangement, cuts, fill)
and reuse it across refinement retries; candidate frames come from one
setup pass. Edge triangles come from the feature edges, layer counts go
through size::edge_divisions, sweep residual weights are computed once
per node, flux shape functions live on the stack, and the arrangement's
exact side test and distances serve the region probe. The engine takes
the boundary options mesh.tet.generate takes and names unnamed faces by
index like it; the corpus hex20 run reuses the winning method; the
mapped entry lists mesh.hex.generate too; the octree icon is redrawn
under its new id.

* thermal: strains in 2D elements and explicit dynamics
Plane::thermal_load and stresses_with for plane stress (εzz free), plane
strain (σzz = −D₃·ε_th) and axisymmetric elements, incompatible modes
included; the solver's 2D kernels take them. Explicit dynamics turns a
step's temperature loads into a per-element thermal strain rate (reached
linearly over the step) subtracted from each strain increment, so it feeds
J2 and Johnson–Cook updates. Verified: free expansion in every 2D theory
and element, a biaxially held plate, an explicit free bar (ΔL = αΔT L,
stress-free) and a clamped bar at −EαΔT, capped at the yield stress with
perfect plasticity.

Truss::thermal_load and stresses_with project the thermal strain on the

* Native file pickers, background opening, drag and drop and recent files
Open (models, SolidCraft designs and tagged meshes in one picker), Save, Save As, Write
Deck and Recover go through the host's file pickers (rfd in the desktop app, injected as
Services so the UI crate stays portable and tests answer them). Files open on a copy of the
session in a worker thread and replace it only on success; files dropped on the window or
named on the command line open the same way. A recent-files list, an unsaved-changes prompt,
Cmd/Ctrl+O/S/Shift+S. Programmatic calls never open a picker: ui.start opens the form.

* Samples and one-click Solve: results reachable from the window
file.sample {name} opens a ready-to-run sample (the two parts, the cantilever with static and
frequency steps, the bar impact) in place of the model; solve.run solves every step in order.
Help > Samples, the empty viewport's start screen and the Tools > Samples entry open them
(asking first over unsaved changes); Solve runs in the background like a file opening and the
Results tab comes up. --sample [parts|cantilever|impact] on the command line.

* The Craft-family shell: title bar, workspace ribbon, browser, context panel, timeline
The window now follows SolidCraft's and VectorCraft's layout and themes:
- title bar with the mark, quick actions (File menu, save, undo, redo, Solve, search,
theme, help), the model's document tab and the version; integrated under the macOS
traffic lights, own caption buttons and resize zones elsewhere (titlebar.rs);
- workspaces (Prepare, Model, Analysis, Results) with their tabs, and panels of icon
buttons whose labelled drop-downs list the whole catalogue, coming-soon entries greyed
with their milestone; panels collapse, then go into a » menu, when narrow;
- the browser: geometry and mesh with eye toggles, definitions with counts, results;
- no permanent Commands list: command search (S, Cmd/Ctrl+K) and a command line;
- the context panel on the right only with context: the command form, results controls,
the selected definition's properties with Edit and Delete;
- navigation bar and orientation gizmo in the viewport; the journal timeline at the bottom
with undo positions;
- SolidCraft's light and dark tokens; craft-ui (IconButton, Tab, WidgetPalette).
Menus and the search are view state (ui.set {menu, palette}), so captures show them.

* Shell polish, docs and licences
Menus painted as the family's (flat File menu with recent files, decks and samples), the
legend sized to its text, two-line panel labels inside the ribbon, glyphs the UI font has,
offscreen captures without fade-in, ui.start runs in-window file actions (samples, recover,
solve) but never a native picker, ui.select. Control protocol, architecture, ROADMAP, AGENTS
and ATTRIBUTION updated; THIRD-PARTY-LICENSES.txt with craft-ui and rfd.

* Title bar mark from the application icon; fluid steps and domains in the shell
The title bar draws the app icon's bracket (assets/app-icon/icon-small.svg's faces) as
SolidCraft draws its mark; the window keeps its title-bar flags after the rebase.
solve.run solves fluid steps too (solve.fluid); the browser lists fluid domains.

* Simplify: cached per-frame data, one command per timeline roll, workspace setters
- Icon textures are kept per pixel size (the shell draws several sizes a frame; the cache
used to clear on every size change and rasterise again).
- Opening a model or recovering one starts from an empty session instead of copying the
current one; the replaced session is freed off the window thread.
- Element counts, timeline items, search results and the selected definition's properties
are cached until what they show changes; timeline tooltips are built on hover; long lists
in properties are summarised.
- edit.undo and edit.redo take a count: a timeline click is one command.
- solve.run dispatches on the step's procedure (no string round trip) and reports its name.
- The workspace and tab change together through UiState::select_tab/select_workspace
(ui.set {workspace} alone now sticks); no per-frame syncing.
- One busy guard, Kind::verbs, a fit flag for background jobs, ModelApp::home_view, the title
bar's actions as an enum, dead code removed.

* Title bar: Solve and tools at the right end; no traffic-light inset in full screen
The owner's feedback on the title bar: Solve, search, theme and help sit at its right end
before the version; on macOS the left group (mark, name, quick actions) moves into the
traffic lights' room in full screen, where there are none, and back when leaving it. The
layout is a pure function (bar_layout) tested for both states, narrow windows and custom
caption buttons. ui.fullscreen {on} for agents.

* Caps labels in Inter SemiBold
egui has no bold weight of its default font, so the ribbon's tabs and panel labels, the
workspace switcher and its menu, menu headings, the browser header, the context panel's
headers and the Solve label were thin, especially in the light theme. They now use a label
font family: Inter SemiBold 4.1 (SIL OFL 1.1, unmodified, fonts/OFL.txt, ATTRIBUTION.md),
with egui's fonts as fallback, installed with the theme on the live and offscreen contexts.
theme::label_font falls back to the default font until the family is bound (fonts take
effect from the next pass), so nothing can panic. Panels widen to their label's longest word.

A four-sided planar patch at z = 0, meshed by the Coons transfinite
interpolation of its edges for plane stress, plane strain and axisymmetric
sections: the elements fill a named face of the body, edges and corners
carry names, patches join edge to edge (the join check treats the edges of
2D elements as their sides).

Weld and face-to-face check move from the mesh.block command to
modelcraft_mesh::join (bounding-box-limited weld, grid-binned hanging-node
test), for node merging and imports to reuse. mesh.block and
mesh.tet.generate share fresh_labels. The block map evaluates each edge
curve once per lattice parameter; vector helpers come from vec3; tet10 and
hex20 mid-side nodes follow ElementKind::edges. Session::run_script returns
each step's output, which the oracle reads instead of its own loop.
