- 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).

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
folders an earlier update left are removed at start-up. Automatic checks stay off under
--control automation and CI unless FIELDCRAFT_UPDATE_HOST names a test server.

ureq over rustls (ring) with the OS certificate verifier. The project key
is the build-time FIELDCRAFT_POSTHOG_KEY; without it nothing is asked or
sent. FIELDCRAFT_TELEMETRY=0 turns it off; --control and CI runs only with
FIELDCRAFT_TELEMETRY=1. A failed post drops its batch.

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.
Fixes#262, fixes#273.

The setup checklist card (#265), its show_setup view setting, the View
menu checkbox and the preferences file that only remembered it go; the
tree's marks and ghost rows replace them. Session::progress and
model.check's progress stay for agents. An old prefs.json is no longer
read.

Once a model has geometry or a mesh, the browser shows the analysis stages from the engine's
checklist, each ticked, next, dashed (optional) or open; a click starts the stage's command and a
blocked stage's hover says what it waits for. The × hides it and View › Setup checklist shows it
again; the choice is kept in the per-user prefs.json.

cargo-deb and cargo-generate-rpm (pinned) package the same stripped binaries and files as the
tar.gz under /usr. The release job compares the file lists, runs lintian, and installs both
packages in Ubuntu 22.04 and Fedora containers.

A sample may carry a SolidCraft script (the corpus recipe form) whose design
opens before its commands run, and its script sees the design's bodies.
fieldcraft-engine now builds fieldcraft-geometry with its scripts feature.
The start screen scrolls its sample list, and a test keeps the file.sample
form's choices in step with the samples.

The window's Wayland app_id / X11 class is io.github.jyviko.fieldcraft, the id the release
packages use for the .desktop entry and the macOS bundle (#72). Windows builds embed
assets/app-icon/icon.ico in fieldcraft.exe through embed-resource (MIT, a build dependency only).

Crates fieldcraft-*, binaries fieldcraft and fieldcraft-cli, the .fieldcraft file (format tag
fieldcraft/1, manifest fieldcraft.json), FIELDCRAFT_* environment variables, the MCP server
name, egui widget ids (fc_*), the app icon document FieldCraft.icon and its generated family,
docs and licences. No compatibility shim: no files of the earlier name exist.
