A command run by a script, the control channel, MCP, the command search
or the browser left the ribbon on whatever tab it showed, so an agent's
session never showed the stage it was at. `catalogue::stage_tab` is the
rule, from the catalogue: a command's entry tab, none for the Tools tab
(files, history, the model summary). The app follows it after a command
that changed the model or the results display (queries leave the ribbon
alone); a script follows its last command with a stage. A ribbon click
runs a command of the tab shown, so it never moves the ribbon: a test
checks every entry and drop-down command against its tab.

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.

A factor of 0 was refused, so a picture sequence swinging the deformation
out from the undeformed shape had to start at a small factor or switch
`show` off. 0 is now a factor like any other (the view stays deformed), and
the results panel no longer works around the refusal. The MCP show_results
docs say so, beside `deformed: false`.

`ui.view` and the MCP `screenshot` tool only turned to the named views, so
a picture sequence could only cut between them. `Orientation` (render) is a
camera orientation in degrees, {yaw, pitch, distance?}, checked as hostile
input: angles finite, distance finite and above 0, yaw wrapped, pitch
clamped to ±90, distance to 0.001–1e9. `modelcraft_engine::view::orientation`
parses it from JSON for both callers:
- control channel `ui.camera {yaw, pitch, distance?}` turns the app's camera;
- MCP `screenshot {camera}` turns it first (bridged through `ui.camera`,
headless in the CPU render, framed unless a distance is given). `view` and
`camera` are not given together.

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.

Main's oracle job failed at 8cba3a7: scordelis-lo-roof-solid u_z moved from
-0.3014029226397275 (blessed before #50) beyond its 1e-9 band. The case is a
thin shell (R/t = 100) of one layer of hex20R solids, ill-conditioned, so
rounding alone moves u_z by about 1e-9 relative: on macOS #50's multithreaded
supernodal factorisation moved it by 8.2e-10 (to -0.3014029223929), #52's
interpolation order by a further 1.3e-10 (to -0.3014029223541), and Linux
CI by slightly more, past the band. #52 kept the lattice geometry the same.
The result itself is unchanged at the 1e-9 level (0.33% from the
reference).
A quantity may now set `fixture_relative` (with a required
`fixture_reason`) for a wider fixture band; Scordelis-Lo uses 1e-7 and is
re-blessed. Moved-fixture messages print full precision.

The pending 2D LE1 case becomes a real one; the plasticity cases stay
pending with what they still need (static J2 for the collapse pressure,
the transcribed measurements for the Taylor bar).

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).

The large-deformation explicit core of #42 (objective stress rates, updated
kinematics) moves the bar wave and rigid-wall impact results by a few 1e-4
relative; both still pass their references (u_end 0.034%, rebound KE
-0.54%). Fixtures updated deliberately for that change.

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.

The oracle binary (modelcraft-testkit) runs each case's recipe through the
command engine, measures its quantities by JSON pointers into step outputs
or commands, compares them with the cited references and the frozen
fixtures, and writes docs/oracle.md. 20 theory cases (patch tests of every
solid element, Timoshenko cantilevers, Lame, Kirsch, beam frequencies,
torsion and bending through couplings, explicit waves and impact, CDT
invariants), 8 published benchmarks (MacNeal-Harder patch, straight and
curved cantilevers, thick cylinder, Scordelis-Lo with solids, NAFEMS LE1,
LE10, FV32) and 10 pending cases with citations.

A structured mesh of a six-sided block from its corners, with circular
and elliptical edges (Gordon-Hall transfinite interpolation), grading,
named faces, edges and vertices as geometry tags, and joining to the
existing mesh face to face (refused otherwise). solve.probe takes "at"
points and reports the nearest node with a result.

- model: materials gain solver-neutral plastic (bilinear isotropic/kinematic,
hardening table, Johnson-Cook with adiabatic heating), damage (Johnson-Cook
D1-D5) and erosion (plastic strain); explicit steps gain nonlinear_geometry
(default on) and stress_rate (jaumann | green_naghdi).
- fem: rotation (Hughes-Winget, Flanagan-Taylor), plasticity (radial return,
capped bracketed Newton for Johnson-Cook, damage; the update takes the
mechanical strain increment so thermal strains can be subtracted), closed-form
hex8 gradients for deformed configurations.
- explicit: updated Lagrangian hex8/tet4, per-element material state, erosion
with reported energy, plastic work in the energy account.
- solver: warns that the linear solver uses the elastic constants of plastic
materials (results hash-identical).
- decks: Abaqus *PLASTIC (+ Johnson-Cook keywords), Nastran MATS1/TABLES1,
LS-DYNA *MAT_PLASTIC_KINEMATIC / *MAT_PIECEWISE_LINEAR_PLASTICITY; what a
format cannot express is reported as Unsupported.
- engine: model.material.plasticity, model.material.damage (catalogue ready),
explicit element probe, eroded elements in the solve summary.
Step commits before the rebase onto the DOF framework: branch explicit-x2-steps.

docs/formats/tagged-mesh.md defines the exchange: 3MF Core with an optional
ft:face attribute per triangle (and ft:faces per object) in a ModelCraft
namespace. modelcraft_geometry::tagged_mesh::read_3mf reads it from bytes
(wasm), capping every size and count and range-checking every index and
coordinate. geometry.import.mesh adds the surfaces to the session, which keeps
them beside the open design and restores them when a command fails.

- modelcraft-engine: CommandSpec registry, Session::execute with rollback and panic guard,
scripts and a journal
- modelcraft-cli: list commands, run scripts
- xtask: layers (only geometry may use solidcraft-*), assets, licences, tests, wasm, ci
- AGENTS.md, architecture, ADR 0001 (libraries and licences), roadmap, CI
