jyvikoandClaude Opus 5.5 e4e3c9a699 ui: mesh in the background from the mesher forms
OK on a mesher's form ran the command on the window thread: octree hex
on the bolted assembly froze the window for over a minute, with no
progress and no way to stop it. The tet and hex meshers' forms now run
their command as a background job on a copy of the session, as opening
a file and solving do: the window keeps drawing with the job's name and
Cancel, the form closes when the mesh is in and shows the error when it
is not. ui.dialog {run} stays synchronous for programmatic callers.

The new test walks a first-time user's path: Open picks a SolidCraft
design, Tet Mesh opens its form, OK with the defaults meshes the part,
and a mapped hex mesh of a holed plate says why it does not fit.

jyvikoandClaude Opus 5.5 8a4209a20c control: ui.drop drops files on the window
The Open dialog is a native picker the control channel cannot click, so
nothing could walk a person's open path end to end: ui.start file.open
opens the command's JSON form instead. ui.drop {paths} hands the paths
to the next frame with the window system's drops, which open them
through the same route a picked file takes (open_path: by type, in the
background, the unsaved-changes prompt, the recent list). At most 16
paths of at most 4096 bytes each.

jyvikoandClaude Opus 5.5 f11be61ff3 control: ui.select on the viewport and ui.selection
ui.select now also drives the viewport's selection: the filter, box
mode, items by name and label as model.set.create takes them, a pick at
a window point or the visible items in a box, changed by a mode
(replace, add, remove, toggle). ui.selection reads it back with its set
members and the hover; ui.dialog takes use_selection (the form's Target
row). Selection stays in the window: no engine command. Documented in
docs/control-protocol.md, with a test that picks the cantilever's free
end by a simulated click and a box, makes sets of it and resolves them,
and hostile-input tests (bad points and boxes, labels, huge lists).

jyvikoandClaude Opus 5.5 5665cc3d8c ui: the viewport draws the analysis setup's symbols, with toggles
The setup's symbols (fieldcraft_render::glyphs) are built with the display
data and drawn over the model in every style, at the drawn nodes (a results
plot's deformed shape), muted over results; the clipping radius holds them.
Theme tokens give their colours in light and dark. The browser's Loads & BCs
and Interactions rows get eye toggles (ui.set show_loads, show_interactions),
also in the view menu. The GPU viewport draws reference point names with the
interface's font; the bottom left says which definitions are sampled.

jyvikoandClaude Opus 5.5 34200013a4 The ribbon follows each command to its stage
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.

jyvikoandClaude Opus 5.5 89651b707c Camera orientation in degrees: ui.camera and the MCP screenshot's camera
`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.

bf325bb234 Craft-family shell, native file dialogs, samples and one-click Solve (#46)
* Native file pickers, background opening, drag and drop and recent files

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.

* Samples and one-click Solve: results reachable from the window

file.sample {name} opens a ready-to-run sample (the two parts, the cantilever with static and
frequency steps, the bar impact) in place of the model; solve.run solves every step in order.
Help > Samples, the empty viewport's start screen and the Tools > Samples entry open them
(asking first over unsaved changes); Solve runs in the background like a file opening and the
Results tab comes up. --sample [parts|cantilever|impact] on the command line.

* 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.

* Shell polish, docs and licences

Menus painted as the family's (flat File menu with recent files, decks and samples), the
legend sized to its text, two-line panel labels inside the ribbon, glyphs the UI font has,
offscreen captures without fade-in, ui.start runs in-window file actions (samples, recover,
solve) but never a native picker, ui.select. Control protocol, architecture, ROADMAP, AGENTS
and ATTRIBUTION updated; THIRD-PARTY-LICENSES.txt with craft-ui and rfd.

* Title bar mark from the application icon; fluid steps and domains in the shell

The title bar draws the app icon's bracket (assets/app-icon/icon-small.svg's faces) as
SolidCraft draws its mark; the window keeps its title-bar flags after the rebase.
solve.run solves fluid steps too (solve.fluid); the browser lists fluid domains.

* 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.

* Title bar: Solve and tools at the right end; no traffic-light inset in full screen

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.

0e97f8dd1d Results display (M4) and offscreen full-UI capture (#28)
* ui.capture: the whole window drawn offscreen and rasterised on the CPU

ui.screenshot falls back to it when no frame is presented (hidden window,
locked screen), so agents can look at panels and the toolbar.

* 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.

* render: simplify the display mesh (sorted face keys over maps, no unused fields)

Interior faces are found by sorting fixed-size face keys instead of a BTreeMap of Vecs, edges
are deduplicated by sort, and each element's corners are looked up once. Drops the unused
`element` fields on DisplayTri/DisplayLine, the unused Mat4::IDENTITY and corner_count, and
hoists the line colour out of the raster loop.

* 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.
