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.

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.

* mesh: one transfinite interpolation for mapped hex and mesh.block; stable oracle report
mesh.block's lattice is now built from the structured hex mesher's
transfinite code: faces by quad::transfinite_grid, the interior by the new
quad::transfinite_volume (Gordon-Thiel, blended by the block's graded
parameters), which hex::mapped now calls too. 2D patches are the
transfinite_grid of their sides. Edge curves return their corners exactly.
Oracle: a zero-reference quantity (rounding noise) keeps its absolute
tolerance as its fixture band, and docs/oracle.md shows such noise and
relative errors inside the fixture band as bounds, so the report no longer
changes with the order of floating-point operations (it failed the
'docs/oracle.md is current' check on main after #50). Scordelis-Lo moved by
1.4e-9 relative (an ill-conditioned thin shell of solids: sub-ulp node
changes) and is re-blessed.

* simplify: shared face filling and lattice index; faces blended like the volume; exact ends for every edge
quad::transfinite_faces fills a block's six faces (with a per-face hook
that hex::mapped uses to project onto its B-rep faces) and
quad::lattice_index fixes the lattice layout for all three users.
transfinite_grid_blended blends faces by the block's graded parameters, so
faces and interior use one parametrisation and mesh.block reproduces its
earlier Gordon-Hall lattice (the Scordelis-Lo fixture is back to its
blessed value). Straight edges also return their corners exactly.

* 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
fidelity check guard the output; hex20 mid-edge nodes go onto the faces.
Shape::face_surfaces exposes the analytic face surfaces; the corpus runner
gets a structured hex column.

* 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.

Prepare each sweep frame's cross-section once (arrangement, cuts, fill)

setup pass. Edge triangles come from the feature edges, layer counts go

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.

The isotropic elasticity splits into D_dev + K m mᵀ; an element-wise
discontinuous pressure is condensed out (p̂ = K M⁻¹ Gᵀ u), leaving
K_dev + K G M⁻¹ Gᵀ (Hughes §4.3–4.5). Q2–P1disc and P2–P0 are inf-sup
stable; Q1–P0 does not lock; tet4 and wedge6 still lock and are refused, as
are orthotropic materials (named at the section). ElementDofs counts the
condensed pressures. Verified: element patch, rigid modes and totals for
every hybrid kind, a block in uniaxial strain at ν = 0.4999 (exact), Lamé's

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.

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.

* 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.

* 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.

* test: the three slow LBM verification cases run in the heavy job
The Stokes-drag sphere array, the staircase-pipe convergence study and the
developing-channel case are heavy (21 s, 11 s, 6 s alone); plane
Poiseuille, Couette, Taylor-Green, reproducibility and the stability
limits stay in the PR gate.

- 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.

Model: Newtonian fluid materials; fluid domains (box, spacing, conditions on
the box faces, obstacle bodies with conditions on their named faces, initial
velocity, body acceleration); fluid steps with caps. Deck writers refuse
fluid steps; a fluid-only model needs no mesh in model.check; one step
selector (Model::select_step) for every solver.
New L2 crate modelcraft-lbm: D3Q19 two-relaxation-time collision with Guo
forcing; halfway bounce-back walls (moving walls after Ladd), slip faces,
periodic pairs; Zou–He velocity and pressure faces with the D3Q19
transverse correction; obstacles voxelised from the face-tagged boundary
surface with exact predicates and symbolic perturbation; momentum-exchange
forces per box face and per B-rep face; unit conversion, automatic time step
and Mach/tau limits; bounded runs with frames and force histories.
Engine: model.fluid_domain.create/edit/delete, model.fluid_domain.boundary,
solve.fluid (obstacles from the open design or imported surfaces, lowerable
caps), solve.probe for fluid fields and wall force histories. Fluid Domain,
Inlet & Outlet and Lattice Boltzmann toolbar entries are ready.
Verification (analytic): plane Poiseuille exact with Λ = 3/16 and second
order (2.000) with Λ = 1/4; Couette exact with the wall shear; Taylor–Green
decay second order (2.01, 2.00); staircase pipe; Stokes drag of a sphere
array within 1.7% of Hasimoto at R = 6; Zou–He channel; mass conserved to
round-off; bit-for-bit reproducibility. Benchmark: Schäfer–Turek 2D-1.

* fem: DofKind/DofLayout and the shape-function library with second derivatives
DofKind (Ux..Rz, T, P), DofSet, ElementDofs (per-node kinds and condensed
internal unknowns) and DofLayout: mesh nodes by label, kinds in order, then
reference points. basis::Basis covers line2/3, tri3/6, quad4/8/9, tet4/10,
wedge6/15, pyramid5, hex8/20/27 with values, first and second natural
derivatives (second-order forward AD, fem::jet) and the physical gradients,
Hessians and Laplacians with the map's second-derivative term. Tested for
Kronecker delta, partition of unity, polynomial completeness, finite
differences, affine and curved maps.

* solver, explicit: number degrees of freedom with DofLayout
The implicit mesh numbers its unknowns with a DofLayout (mesh nodes by label
with the kinds their elements declare, then six per coupled reference point);
assembly adds element blocks by (node, DofKind), so a node may carry any mix
of kinds; couplings, boundary conditions, loads and results address
(node, kind). The explicit system keeps node-major translations, now checked
against its layout (NODE_DOFS). Solid formulations declare their ElementDofs.
Every static, frequency and explicit result of the solver, explicit, engine
and io test suites hashes bit-identically before and after (957 results).
docs/fem.md describes the DOF model and the shape-function conventions.

the kinds like add_block; one checked Jacobian inverse (dense::positive_inverse)
for the solid kernels and the basis library; static natural-node tables; the
Hessian path inverts the Jacobian once.

* Draw the open design and imported surfaces in the viewport
DisplayMesh keeps node labels on every element primitive (for results),
gains add_surface (geometry faces and their boundaries, coincident points
welded) and displaced (elements moved by nodal offsets). Bodies are
tessellated at a thousandth of their size; meshed models show the geometry
as boundaries only.

* results.* commands: deformed shape, contours, mode shapes, animation, reaction sums
The results display is session state (ResultsView), set by commands that are
not edits. Nodal fields (displacement, von Mises, principal and component
stresses; principal stresses in closed form after Smith 1961) and reaction
force and moment sums per set. Results kept from an earlier revision stay
viewable, marked stale; solve.probe says when a result is stale. The Results
tab's display and reaction entries are ready.

* Results display: deformed shape, contours with legend, mode shapes and animation, probe, reaction sums
The viewport draws the session's results view: elements moved by their nodes'
displacements or a mode shape (automatic or given scale), faces split exactly
along contour band boundaries into flat-coloured pieces (same on GPU and CPU),
a legend with levels and extremes, a results panel whose controls run the
results.* commands, a click probing the nearest node (solve.probe), and stale
results marked. Solving from the form shows the result on the Results tab.
sample::cantilever is a solvable model for tests and demos.

* Simplify the results display (review)
One Contour in the plot; the results scene reuses scene::build; a solve shows
its result through the engine (ResultsView::for_result) and the UI raises the
Results tab when a view appears; the plot's scale and contour values are kept
across animation frames; design bodies are tessellated once per design; the
first content is framed where the display is rebuilt; field_values in one
match; probe reuses results::displacements.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01NmAttHhUZTokgPeEJia8sm
* Results display for explicit steps: field frames, energy histories
The results view works on the engine's step results (static, frequency,
explicit): ResultsView.frame and results.frame {frame | time} pick an explicit
field frame; the deformed shape (true scale) and contours (element stresses
averaged to the nodes, velocity) follow it; animation runs through the frames.
The Results panel has a frame slider and plots the kinetic, internal, hourglass
and external energies with their values at the frame. sample::impact is a
steel bar flying onto a rigid wall.

* docs: verification and validation against theory, experiments and published benchmarks; fixtures
Owner decision 2026-10-13: test against experimental and theoretical data; results published by
vendors (e.g. Abaqus benchmark and verification manuals) may be used as cited reference values for
our own models of the same problems; once a case matches, its result becomes a fixture so fidelity
cannot regress. Commercial products are still never run and their files and text never copied.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01NmAttHhUZTokgPeEJia8sm
* solver: reference points, kinematic and distributing couplings, moments by constraint elimination
Coupled reference points get six degrees of freedom; kinematic couplings are rigid
links, distributing couplings least-squares interpolation constraints. Every
constraint row and prescribed value is eliminated master-slave (Abel-Shephard
pivot choice), so the reduced matrix stays SPD; no coupling gives the old
elimination bit for bit. Verified: rigid motion of a coupled block, clamping
through a point, distributing tension vs pressure, bending and tube torsion.

* solver: simplify constraint elimination and reference point plumbing
Rows combine by one sort; T_f transposed once; K and M reduced in one pass on a
shared pattern; prescribed motion computed once; reference point loads and BCs go
through Resolved like node ones (Mesh::label_dofs); one dof-direction rule;
StepResult::locate for probes; dead Csr::restrict removed.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01NmAttHhUZTokgPeEJia8sm
* solver: refuse oversized reductions before allocating them
A held distributing coupling point makes a dense (3N)^2 block; estimate it from
the constraint rows and refuse it against the factorization's memory budget
with a clear message, before anything is built. Other reductions with
dependents count their entries first (stopping at the budget) and reserve
fallibly.

Cholesky with a factor-size cap, reactions, integration-point and nodal-averaged stresses, von
Mises; shift-invert block Lanczos with full reorthogonalization for natural modes, participation
and effective mass. ADR 0001 records the own-linear-algebra decision (determinism, wasm).

tip deflection (Timoshenko) with convergence rates, Lamé cylinder, Kirsch hole (Kt -> 3),
cantilever and free-free beam frequencies with six rigid-body modes.

* Simplify the solver: shared face integration, block assembly, cached extrapolation
- model: one face integrator (nodal::face_normal_weights) for tractions and pressures
- fem: mid-side tables from ElementKind::edges, orthotropic via inverse3, symmetric
accumulation without a symmetrize pass, incompatible-mode recovery without K_uu, model's
coordinate check, dead table rows removed
- solver: one pattern search per node pair (block, scalar and diagonal adds), extrapolation built
once per element type, reactions from the prescribed rows only, matrices dropped after
restriction, the free-body shift keyed on the factorization error, step selection in the solver,
Error::Element naming the element
- engine: the solver owns the default step and the shift check; the model comparison runs once
