Fusion round trip WARNs on face counts:
- 48: the pulley's annular end faces arrived as 240° and 120° sectors.
- 54: the side faces and holes of a body glued to its mirror image came
in halves.
Changes:
- Planes merge: PLANE faces and flat B-spline sheets, as well as revolved
planes. A plane keeps several loops (an annulus, a face with holes), no
seam. Flat B-spline sheets are written as PLANE.
- Pieces of an extruded cylinder (B-spline sheets) merge when their edges
are circles square to the axis. The merged face is written as a
CYLINDRICAL_SURFACE, with its parameter seam on the face's seam edge.
- A full turn's loop is built explicitly: ring, seam, other ring (or the
apex on the axis), seam back. Before, it depended on edge order, and
after 81c85b5 the pulley's last pieces no longer merged.
- The read-back check moved to the whole file. If the merged file reads
with warnings and the unmerged one does not, the unmerged one is
written.
Results: 48 has 12 faces (Fusion 12), 54 has 12 (Fusion 12). Oracle
results are unchanged (73 PASS) and the STEP corpus passes 76/76. New
test: a plate with a hole glued to its mirror exports 8 faces, all
planes and cylinders, and round-trips.

Start page (shown on launch without a file, and from the house button in the application bar):
New Design, Open, recent designs (kept in the preferences, newest first) and built-in samples,
each card with a picture rendered from the design in the background. Samples are scripts of
engine commands: the sample plate plus a sheet metal bracket, a hinge assembly with a revolute
joint, a plastic enclosure (lip, bosses, rest, snap fit), a bolted flange with a parametric
circular pattern and a vent plate with a parametric rectangular pattern (test: all build
without a failing feature).
Several open designs as tabs in the application bar: each keeps its own session (undo,
selection), camera and hidden/shown items; + and Ctrl+N open a new design, opening a file or a
sample uses a new tab unless the current design is blank, closing a tab with unsaved changes
asks Save / Don't Save / Cancel. Control channel: ui.documents and ui.home (docs/control-protocol.md).

- Bodies export (STEP, 3MF) in the colour they are shown in: an appearance,
else the physical material's look, else the colour the body was imported
with (Document::body_color / painted). Physical materials used to export
no colour at all.
- AppearanceCommand (Modify): a colour per body ("#rrggbb" or [r, g, b];
null follows the material again), kept in the design and across renames.
- Material looks move to solvecraft-doc (material_color); the viewport draws
appearance, material or imported colour, as exported.
- Engine test: brass and red ABS bodies export, re-import with their RGB, and
keep it through open and export again.

- Surfaces of revolution follow ISO 10303-42 strictly in reader and writer: the
normal is d/d(angle) x d/d(profile), the opposite of truck's revolution, as
Fusion reads it (fixes Fusion inverting fillet sphere corners and the dimple).
step_orientation_errors flags faces whose loop runs clockwise round their
normal; engine, oracle and kernel round trips assert it.
- Revolved faces with analytic profiles are written as native PLANE,
CYLINDRICAL/CONICAL/SPHERICAL/TOROIDAL surfaces, and the pieces truck splits
a revolution into are merged back into one face per surface (with a seam
edge for full turns), so face counts match other systems.
- A horn torus (tight sweep: tube touching its axis) is written as one rational
B-spline face whose loop passes the pole twice, with truck's zero-length pole
edges collapsed, instead of a degenerate surface of revolution; the reader
starts such figure-eight loops off the pole (Fusion's own part 50 now imports
with the right volume).

Meshing (vendored truck-meshalgo) works within a budget so hostile files
cannot hang: bounded edge and surface divisions (point caps, depth and
round limits, NaN-safe), and a grid budget per face shared out per shell.
Surface grids refine only the direction that bends; rulings left undivided
get cells comparable to the other direction, so trimmed cylinders (holes,
tee joints) no longer lose volume to long triangles. The helical sweep
imports in 12 s instead of 7 minutes.
Small sphere patches get poles away from them even when the file runs a
seam through the patch (a pyramid's corner blend). Faces the mesher cannot
mesh are reported as import warnings. Test: wild B-spline and far-off
boundaries import in bounded time.
STEP corpus 65/66 (50-sweep-tight-bend: a horn-torus bend whose inner side
collapses to a point; Fusion's own area for it is also off).

Vendored truck-stepio (writer only): an intersection curve's second surface
was written at the first one's id (duplicate ids for every boolean edge),
and revolved surfaces lost their orientation (the modeling-surface sense was
always true; inverted or mirrored revolutions came out inside out). Export
now writes intersection edges as C1 cubic B-splines through exact points,
so files carry plain 3D curves and no redundant surfaces.
Vendored truck-meshalgo: hinted parameter searches that run off a B-spline's
domain are rejected or clamped (meshing their grid never finished).
STEP import: straight revolution profiles are bounded in the meridian plane
and stop at the axis; loops on revolutions start away from the axis; face
extents include edge end points. Edges between pieces of one split surface
draw as seams.
kernel::step_validate checks a STEP file (duplicate ids, dangling
references, dense numbering); the oracle replay now exports every rebuilt
part, validates it and re-imports it with no warnings and the same volume
(all 32 rebuildable cases pass).

Export: ExportCommand/CLI --out/MCP export with .3mf write a 3MF Core package
([Content_Types].xml, _rels/.rels, 3D/3dmodel.model; millimetres), one
mesh object and build item per body, named after it, vertices shared and
welded watertight (T-junctions between faces split), base-material colours
when bodies carry one (STEP colours now ride on bodies). Tessellation as
for STL. File > Export 3MF.
Import: doc.open/drag-drop/CLI/MCP open accept .3mf and .stl; Insert Mesh
(ParaMeshInsertAlignCommand) adds them to a design as a MeshImport feature.
Kernel mesh bodies render, measure exactly, move and export; solid
features refuse them with a clear error. 3MF reading flattens components
and build transforms, converts units, reads colours; sizes, entries,
nesting and element counts are capped.

SOLID > INSERT, drag-and-drop (insert into a non-empty design, else open),
'solvecraft part.step', MCP open. Features (fillet, hole, sketch-on-face
cut, shell) work on imported bodies. Imports are cached so a file is read
once per command. Measure tightens its chord tolerance for small radii.
