--section x|y|z[=VALUE] hides the elements on the camera's side of a plane
(at the mesh's middle by default) so the element faces inside show;
--field contours a nodal field of the solved step (results.contour). The
MCP server's headless screenshot draws with the viewport's pipeline on the
shared device and its reply, like snapshot's, names the renderer.

render_png) with the viewport's GPU pipelines offscreen: hardware GPU, then
a software one, then the CPU rasterizer (FIELDCRAFT_GPU=auto|hardware|
software|cpu). CI installs lavapipe so the GPU path runs there.

- A solve or a mesher runs as a job with one progress mechanism: the overlay
shows the step, stage, count and elapsed time with a bar when bounded, OK
waits while it runs, and the status sums it up (elements, smallest angle,
time) (#322, #357).
- Over the control channel such a command is a job too: answered when it
ends however long it runs, or at once with wait: false, then job.status,
job.wait, job.cancel; ui.inspect gives job; MCP waits for it (#367).
- A command that cannot run yet lists what it misses in the context panel,
each with a button to the command that provides it (#323).
- A cancelled or refused solve stays in its workspace (#324, test).
- A mesher form starts from the parameters of the mesh it would replace (#343).
- Seed Edges and edge/vertex/face datum points switch the selection filter
while open and restore it (#341).
- Datum forms draw the datum live, the Partition form shows its datum, and
new datums and partitions get the next free name (#347).

Every half hour the page fetches its own address past the browser's cache; when it loads
another content-hashed build of the app than the running one, the status bar offers "Reload

service worker: the browser build has no other update path and none of the desktop's

The desktop app checks, downloads, verifies and stages on its own threads for the window, and
once the window has closed (autosave closed) swaps a staged release in and starts it. Staging

The desktop app installs the crash reporter and a log file at start
(both in a temporary folder in --control and CI runs, #266), journals
the window's commands (background jobs included) and every control
request's method, and ends the journal on a clean exit. A start after a
crash asks: "FieldCraft closed unexpectedly", Report It… or Not Now.
Help › Report a Bug (also Tools › Help and ui.start
diagnostics.bug_report) shows exactly what the GitHub bug form will be
filled with: the version, the OS, the last error, and for a crash where
it happened. Share my session adds the replayable commands, Include the
model file the model. Open GitHub Issue opens the form in the browser
through the system's opener; files to attach are saved to
bug-reports/<time>/ and a long session goes on the clipboard. Nothing is
sent without that click and the user's submit on GitHub.
The control channel answers the new prompts (crashed: report, close;
report_bug: set, close) and ui.inspect shows the draft; it never opens
the browser.

An orbit turns about the model point under the press (the pick ray's
first hit on the plot, the mesh or the design), or the centre of what is
drawn when it starts on empty space, keeps that point still on screen and
marks it while orbiting. The wheel and a pinch zoom toward the point
under the cursor; the wheel's delta is read as it arrives, so a notch
zooms in full in orthographic and perspective views alike (#273).
Mouse presets and reverse zoom come from SolidCraft (prefs.rs NavPreset,
NAV_PRESETS; MIT OR Apache-2.0): FieldCraft's own (left drag per the
navigation bar) stays the default, Ctrl + left drag from empty space
orbits in every preset. They are chosen in the display menu, settable
with ui.set and kept in prefs.json beside recent.json (the browser build
keeps them for the page's run); an older prefs.json still loads.

Once a model has geometry or a mesh, the browser shows the analysis stages from the engine's

again; the choice is kept in the per-user prefs.json.

The desktop's ModelApp in a web page through eframe's web runner
(WebGPU, WebGL2 fallback, `?webgl` to force it), built with Trunk.
The browser services sit behind the UI's host-service seams: File >
Open uses the browser's file picker, dropped files are read
asynchronously, and both go into the page's files; Save, Save As and
Write Deck hand the written file out as a download. Autosaves go to the
recovery folder as on the desktop and are mirrored to local storage, so
File > Recover offers what a closed or crashed page left. `?sample=NAME`
opens a sample. A loading screen with the app icon, and a message
instead of the app when neither WebGPU nor WebGL2 is available.
`cargo xtask wasm` (and so `cargo xtask ci`) now checks fieldcraft-web

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.

* 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.

* 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.

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 stored ZIP of a manifest (format tag, geometry sources with SHA-256,
part sizes and hashes), the model definition as stable pretty JSON, the
mesh and geometry tags in a compact binary part, and the journal one
command per line. Reading caps every size, checks every checksum and

* engine: undo/redo on the journal, file.open/save/save_as, autosave and recovery
CommandSpec gains a kind: Model commands are journalled and become undo
steps; Session commands (file.*, edit.*) manage the session. Undo history
is bounded by steps and estimated memory. Geometry sources are recorded
with content hashes and reopened on file.open (missing or changed files
are warnings). Desktop app autosaves every 30 s and reports recoverable
models; Ctrl/Cmd+Z and Shift+Z/Y undo and redo.

* viewport: split GPU geometry into batches within the buffer limit; refuse oversized CPU renders
A mesh with a few million boundary triangles made one vertex buffer larger than the device's
max_buffer_size (256 MiB under the limits eframe requests), and wgpu's default error handler
panicked. Geometry is now uploaded in batches of whole primitives, each at most 128 MiB and the
device limit, and all are drawn. A device error handler logs errors and shows them in the status
bar instead of panicking.
The CPU renderer refuses sizes over 8192 per side or 16 MP, and scenes over 20 million
primitives, with an error, and allocates its buffers fallibly. ui.render reports a size out of
range instead of clamping it; the CPU viewport fits a large window into the limit.
