Zoomed in on the hex20 crank arm, the element edges and the shaded faces
did not meet (#260). The mesh is conforming; the display drew each hex20
face and edge as straight chords between corners while the mid-side
nodes lie on the curved surface (up to 0.44 mm off the chord at 3 mm),
and drew the geometry's face boundaries from the design tessellation,
off both.
Now a quadratic face is cut into triangles whose vertices are its
corners and mid-side nodes, each edge is drawn as its two halves, and
over the mesh the geometry's edges (and a hovered design edge) are drawn
as the element edges on geometry edges (`DisplayEdge::feature`), so
faces, edges, feature lines and the highlight share their vertices.

`quality::conformity` checks a solid mesh for cracks: the free faces must
close up (every corner edge on exactly two), no two distinct nodes may
coincide, and every element edge has one mid-side node. The hex tests
assert it for every method, hex20 included, and the crank arm sample's
7274 hex20 is conforming (#260: the disjoint lines are a display issue).

A seed is matched to a mesher's curve by position (ends and middle within the
two tessellations' tolerance), which also orients its bias. Interval
assignment holds exact seeds, raises minimums and takes free seeds as goals;
an equality, loop minimum or parity it cannot meet with the exact seeds held
names them. Seeded curves get the seed's spacing. Extrude and revolve seed
cross-section curves and the layers of a level interval; sweep and mapped
seed their B-rep edges; cells seed the shared edge once, so both cells keep
it and stay conforming.

fieldcraft_mesh::mirror reflects a region's tet4, tet10, wedge6, hex8 and hex20

reflected_faces and reflected_edges give the copy's face and edge over the same

join::merge_coincident, so the region and its image form one conforming mesh.

Each cell (a body of the open design) gets its own method: structured hex where
one fits (auto falls back to tet and says why), or tet. All go into one mesh.
Cells on either side of a partition are joined: where their element faces
match node for node the nodes are merged; otherwise (hex next to tet, or
different divisions) the two partition faces get a set each and a dual mortar
tie, the reported hex-tet transition. A 40 mm bar cut in half, one half hex,
