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.

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.

* 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.
