* fem: wedge6 element (triangle × interval, 3 × 2 points), patch and cantilever tests

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01NmAttHhUZTokgPeEJia8sm
* solver: reference points, kinematic and distributing couplings, moments by constraint elimination
Coupled reference points get six degrees of freedom; kinematic couplings are rigid
links, distributing couplings least-squares interpolation constraints. Every
constraint row and prescribed value is eliminated master-slave (Abel-Shephard
pivot choice), so the reduced matrix stays SPD; no coupling gives the old
elimination bit for bit. Verified: rigid motion of a coupled block, clamping
through a point, distributing tension vs pressure, bending and tube torsion.

* solver: simplify constraint elimination and reference point plumbing
Rows combine by one sort; T_f transposed once; K and M reduced in one pass on a
shared pattern; prescribed motion computed once; reference point loads and BCs go
through Resolved like node ones (Mesh::label_dofs); one dof-direction rule;
StepResult::locate for probes; dead Csr::restrict removed.

* solver: refuse oversized reductions before allocating them
A held distributing coupling point makes a dense (3N)^2 block; estimate it from
the constraint rows and refuse it against the factorization's memory budget
with a clear message, before anything is built. Other reductions with
dependents count their entries first (stopping at the budget) and reserve
fallibly.

Shape functions, Gauss and conical-product quadrature, stiffness, consistent and HRZ-lumped
mass, body forces, consistent pressure loads on faces, integration-point stresses and their
least-squares extrapolation to nodes, isotropic and orthotropic elasticity. The element table is
one row per kind, so wedges, shells and beams are added locally.

Assembly from the resolved model on the node graph, boundary conditions by elimination,
consistent pressure, gravity and body-force loads, nested-dissection ordering, sparse up-looking
Cholesky with a factor-size cap, reactions, integration-point and nodal-averaged stresses, von
Mises; shift-invert block Lanczos with full reorthogonalization for natural modes, participation
and effective mass. ADR 0001 records the own-linear-algebra decision (determinism, wasm).

- fem: mid-side tables from ElementKind::edges, orthotropic via inverse3, symmetric
accumulation without a symmetrize pass, incompatible-mode recovery without K_uu, model's
coordinate check, dead table rows removed
- solver: one pattern search per node pair (block, scalar and diagonal adds), extrapolation built
once per element type, reactions from the prescribed rows only, matrices dropped after
restriction, the free-body shift keyed on the factorization error, step selection in the solver,
Error::Element naming the element
- engine: the solver owns the default step and the shift check; the model comparison runs once

* modelcraft-io: the .modelcraft file (modelcraft/1), atomic writes, autosave storage
A stored ZIP of a manifest (format tag, geometry sources with SHA-256,
part sizes and hashes), the model definition as stable pretty JSON, the
mesh and geometry tags in a compact binary part, and the journal one
command per line. Reading caps every size, checks every checksum and
replays the model through its checked methods. Model::without_mesh and

CommandSpec gains a kind: Model commands are journalled and become undo
steps; Session commands (file.*, edit.*) manage the session. Undo history
is bounded by steps and estimated memory. Geometry sources are recorded
with content hashes and reopened on file.open (missing or changed files
are warnings). Desktop app autosaves every 30 s and reports recoverable
models; Ctrl/Cmd+Z and Shift+Z/Y undo and redo.

Sets bind to persistent geometry names through the mesh's geometry tags

and boundary conditions explicitly. Model::check names every missing or

Force and moment on a set default to a total, split by consistent nodal
weights over the set's faces (or equally over a node set); per_node is an

nodal values for every writer and the solver. Reference points keep a
stored node label taken from the top of the label range.

- The weld distance travels with the mesh (SurfaceMesh::weld_distance, set by Shape::tessellate),
so every consumer welds a tessellation correctly without opting in.
- Exact tests are infallible on predicates::orient2d_projected (shared with generic_orient2d), and
compute each vertex's plane side once per pair with an early reject.
- One Box3 for the weld, the BVH and shells; a Half struct for edges; the weld's two lookups share
one loop, with chained grid cells; cached normals for feature edges; shared parameter helpers.

Interior faces are found by sorting fixed-size face keys instead of a BTreeMap of Vecs, edges

`element` fields on DisplayTri/DisplayLine, the unused Mat4::IDENTITY and corner_count, and

* 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.
