The extrude/revolve cross-section took both ends of every B-rep edge as curve ends. A closed
edge without a vertex on it (a hole's rim after geometry.faces.merge of its halves) starts
wherever its chain was picked up, the old seam vertex, so that point stayed a curve end and a
node column stayed on the merged boundary. Only open edges' ends (and the B-rep vertices) are
curve ends now; the layout and interval assignment place the rim's nodes.
The hex test runs on a square plate and asserts the seams carry exactly as many nodes as the
same lines turned a quarter round the hole (10 and 10; before 5 and 10): the corner layout
puts arc-midpoint nodes there by symmetry, so 0 is not the right target.

A face merge may keep one of its faces' names (Merge::into, model
FaceMerge::into): absorbing a tiny face leaves the neighbour by its own
name, so sets on it still select it. Shape::absorbing_neighbour finds
the face a tiny one shares the longest edges with. geometry.face.absorb
absorbs one face (into a named or the best neighbour) or, from_check,
every small and sliver face the last geometry.check marked; check marks

A patch of quads already meshed on a face of the body (a neighbour's mesh)

divisions and nodes, held through smoothing. mesh.hex.project takes
"fixed": [face names] and builds the patch from other bodies' meshes.

When the grid layout does not fit a swept body (sides at an angle to the axes, root arcs where
an arm meets its bosses), mesh.plan tries the ring-and-pillow layout (cmd/plan/pillow.rs): each
boss is an annulus from its bore or pedal hole to its circle through every level, the arm a grid
carved a margin inside the outline and the bosses, with a pillow layer of blocks to the wall each
boundary face faces; a grid corner facing a boss and the outline gets a corner block reaching the
kink where the outline leaves the boss's circle. The old crank test (frame cuts) becomes the
heavy acceptance test at sizes 2.5, 3 and 4; the moved frame cut keeps a unit test.

After geometry.partition cuts a body, the body is its cells: a projection plan of the whole body
could not open it and failed with "no body `Base` (open a design first)". It now names the cells
and says to plan and apply a cell (mesh.plan {"body": "Base/a"}) or delete the partitions. Tests
cover a design opened directly and a saved model opened again, partitioned after opening.

mesh.plan.apply finds the planes a projection plan's body is its own mirror image across
(through the middle of its extent, square to the sweep's in-plane axes, through no ring: every
triangle middle of its tessellation, a little inside and outside, has its mirror image inside and
outside alike). It cuts the body by them, plans and meshes the cell on their negative side, and
mirrors that mesh across each plane in turn (mesh.mirror, joined node to node on the planes), so
mirror-image regions mesh exactly alike. `symmetry: false` meshes the whole body.
A cell of a partitioned body is planned from the features that built its body, with the rings it
holds; a partitioned body is planned whole as before.

The crank arm's back pocket ends on the planes x = 48 and x = 130, its frame sides. The plan
put its frame cuts there; the kernel cannot cut along a face (#427), so both were skipped and
the cell between the bosses swept the pocket's rounded ends into fans. A frame side on a face
of the body now moves one element out of the opening (away from the rectangle's middle),
leaving a strip one element wide; both cuts are made.

#462 visited nodes by a mirror-invariant key (distance from the centroid). On the cup with a
handle that order sweeps ring by ring round the axis and converges worse in its 100 sweeps: the
refined cup fell to a scaled Jacobian of 0.481 (needs 0.5, #440). In the lattice's own order
it holds, and the order gained the enclosure base little (its corners differ by 0.02 either
way), so it goes; the compass search's lift to 0.7 stays.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01UhhZMBTviDQxZvwnyP89fo
The compass search after the sweeps only lifted elements below 0.5 (the quality floor), so a
mesh whose worst elements sat just above it stayed there: every corner of an enclosure base
stopped at a scaled Jacobian of 0.50-0.52 where its walls meet the corner bosses. It now lifts
every element below 0.7, never lowering another below the lower of its own value and 0.5.
The sweeps and the search are Gauss-Seidel, so the node order shaped the result and mirror
image corners smoothed differently. Nodes are now visited by a key that a mirror or a quarter
turn about the nodes' centroid keeps (distance from it, then the sorted offsets along the
axes). What spread is left between mirrored corners (0.686 vs 0.702 on the test base) is most likely the projection onto the body's
tessellation, which the kernel does not make mirror symmetric (not yet proven).

A boss the body's walls run into had its circle crossed by the walls' planes, so the projection
layout refused it and the plan fell back to swept cells, fanning round the boss and its hole.
Such a boss is now framed by the square round its whole circle, subdivided by the planes that
cross it; every square inside (the hole's, the core) is divided alike, so the ring's blocks meet
the walls node to node. On the walls' side the frame stops at their inner plane and its corner
projects onto the middle of the inner fillet, which the ring takes in (a boss just touching the
fillet included: no sliver). Cylinders a fillet's history names but that are a ring's circle are
the ring's faces. Rings are built per patch of grid cells, the one-cell O-grid being the
simplest patch.

A smooth loop (straight sides running tangent into arcs, as a slot or a

to the loop's quarter points, which on the crank's 6:1 pocket floor
squashed elements to a scaled Jacobian of 0.16. The block is now a
rectangle on the region's principal axes, inset by the same distance all
round (the old square on a circle), its corners paired with the loop nodes
nearest their diagonals, its sides spaced as the nodes they pair with, and
the O-grid is smoothed (untangled first) before the validity check.

The projection layout gave every fillet a blend layer along the sides it runs between, so a
screw hole close to a rounded corner sat inside the layer and the plan fell back to frame cuts
and swept cells, which fan into the hole. A corner fillet that lies inside the square from the
hole to the two sides is now taken in by the hole's O-grid ring: the frame reaches both sides,
its outer corner projects onto the middle of the fillet, and no layer is needed. An O-grid's
frame is centred on its hole (a near side is the frame, the far side as far), and the plan
reports the layout's frames and drops the frame-cut notes when it does not cut.
