Features

Generated from the capability catalogue (crates/engine/src/catalogue.rs) by cargo run -p fieldcraft-cli -- features > docs/features.md; a test fails when it is out of date. Every entry is a toolbar button. Ready entries run their command; coming soon entries are shown greyed with the roadmap milestone that brings them (ROADMAP.md). Scripts, the command line, the control channel and AI agents over MCP (docs/mcp.md) run the same commands.

85 ready, 36 coming soon.
