- motion.plot: joint values and a point's path sampled as the study plays (closed loops
following), with velocities and accelerations by finite differences, per step or per
second with a duration.
- motion.interference: the pairs of parts that pass through each other along a study, with
the first step, the step ranges, the depth and the shared volume; occurrences, against
or contact sets choose the pairs; bounded samples and work.
- Motion Study dialog: a Study box opens a saved study; a chart of a joint value or a
picked point with a cursor at the step shown (click to move there); Check collisions
with the steps shaded on the chart. ui.start motion.study takes study.
Pushes to main skip boolean_props (random inputs); the nightly property-tests job runs it. The three shrunk cases are ignored tests with their issues (#1647, #1648, #1649), and proptest's failure file is named outright.

A PR that saves something new adds crates/doc/src/format/pending/<name>.rs (a note, and an upgrade step if older designs must be rewritten). The build writes the next format number while changes are pending and lists them in format_pending; scripts/fold-format-pending.sh fixes them as v<N>/ at release time. Formats 23 and 24 move into v23/ and v24/.

FreeCAD .FCStd and Rhino .3dm files open, insert and drop like STEP and IGES:
cadmpeg (Apache-2.0, pinned =0.6.1, native builds only) detects the format,
decodes it under its service resource caps, validates the model and writes it
as STEP AP214, which becomes an Import feature in a new component named after
the file, with the up and names options.
Only the fcstd, rhino and step codecs are compiled in (no default features).
ACIS is left out: cadmpeg's sat codec is a ShapeManager stream decoder.
native_cad.rs is the single importer seam. Self-made FreeCAD and Rhino box
fixtures, hostile-input, ZIP-bomb and cap tests, engine tests for the
component path; the browser build reports these formats as not supported.
A note under design format 23 says an Import's file can name these formats.

glTF files open, insert and drop like 3MF/STL/OBJ: a component named after the file, the node tree as nested rigid components, repeated meshes as occurrences, metres to mm, Y up turned to Z up by default (up: z keeps axes), materials as PBR appearances. Bounded, hostile-input tested reader; no new persisted data. Closes#1505.

A sketch text's height, place (x and y) and angle can each be an expression over the design's parameters, and the text follows parameter changes, undo and reopening. Closes#1362.

* Agent chat prototype: drive an ACP agent the user already has from a side panel
A desktop-only chat panel (off by default) that starts a coding agent over the
Agent Client Protocol and gives it SolidCraft's MCP server, bridged to the open
window through the token-protected control channel with the default folder
limits. It finds installed agents (Claude Code and Codex adapters, Gemini CLI,
Copilot, Qwen, OpenCode, goose) with version and login state, streams text,
tool calls and plans, shows the agent's permission requests, and when an agent
isn't signed in shows its own login methods without handling any credential.
Design notes and findings: docs/design/in-app-agent-chat.md.

List menus open below-right of the cursor and flip to end at the cursor where they don't fit (shared context_menu::place / show for viewport, browser, toolbar and Select Other). Right-clicking a plane in the viewport, a construction plane row or an origin plane row (new menu with Create Sketch and Show/Hide) offers Create Sketch on that plane. Fixes#1354.
AppRun installs nothing when an appimagekit_*.desktop entry for the same AppImage exists, and removes the entry it wrote earlier. An empty ~/.local/share/solidcraft/no-desktop-integration turns the integration off for good; SOLIDCRAFT_NO_DESKTOP_INTEGRATION=1 still works. Getting-started guide documents it. Fixes#1399.
New command inspect.compare {a, b, tolerance?}: measures of both and their differences, two-way surface deviation from a bounding-volume tree, regions beyond the tolerance clustered by side (only_in_a / only_in_b) with integrated volumes and faces, a verdict, optional face colouring as one undo step, and warnings for open meshes. Geometry in solidcraft-geom (compare.rs), command in the engine. Closes#1363.
"2,5 mm" is 2.5 mm; inside a function's parentheses the comma still separates the arguments. Noted under design format 22: an expression typed with a decimal comma is saved as typed, so 0.12.0 asks for an update instead of failing to evaluate it.
* Imports become components: a STEP assembly's tree as nested components (#1386)
Every imported file (STEP, IGES, 3MF, STL, OBJ: inserted, dropped, opened as a
design, or file.insert_step / file.insert_mesh / doc.open from scripts, the CLI
and MCP) now comes in as a new component named after the file, with its Import
feature inside it. A STEP assembly's products become nested components; a part
placed more than once is one component with an occurrence per placement, and
the Import feature skips the file's later copies (`skip`, format 21 note). The
contents are held as one rigid group (rigid joints, glyphs hidden); moving an
inner part is refused until component.unlock ("Unlock Contents") releases it.
Y up turns the import's component. Replies report component, component_name
and occurrence. Undo is one step; designs with loose imports are unchanged.

component.insert_design (a saved part as a linked component) had no button, so an
assembly of separately saved parts looked impossible. It is now on the ASSEMBLE panel
of every tab and in the File menu; it asks for the file, and a STEP or mesh file picked
there is inserted as Insert STEP or Insert Mesh would.

The Joint and As-built Joint dialogs explain why picks make no joint and offer Create Components from Bodies when every pick is on one component; joint.create and joint.as_built suggest component.from_bodies. Labels in all catalogs. Fixes#1239.
Closes#1284. sheet.export_dxf writes layers by role (OUTLINE, CUT, TEXT or ETCH, dashed BEND_UP/BEND_DOWN, optional BEND_NOTES, POCKET_<side>_Z…_MM and PERFORATION), inner contours before the outline; text: cut|etch, bend_notes and note_height, per_body files. Letters are derived from the timeline, nothing new is saved (format unchanged). I merged main in (the export's parameter list keeps main's pocket layer names). Checked on main + this branch: cargo check --workspace, the engine cmd::sheet tests (160) and the io DXF tests.
One docked Save as mesh dialog replaces Export STL / 3MF / 3MF with face tags, with an optional Send to slicer that lists the slicers installed on this machine. Engine: file.save_mesh and file.slicers; the Convert Mesh dialog goes (mesh.convert and the MeshConvert feature stay, so existing designs open). Strings in all catalogs; screenshots in the PR. Checked on main + this branch: cargo check --workspace, the engine slicer/mesh/file tests, the UI catalog and menu tests and scenario s14 (the one local colour-token failure is epaint's TexturesDelta panic, which main shows on this machine too).
solidcraft-cli snapshot takes --camera JSON and --view with a saved view name (through view.apply, as the MCP screenshot does), plus --no-grid and --no-axes; the MCP screenshot and ui.render take grid/axes, the headless render skips a hidden origin axis, and the app's ui.render follows the Grid and Origin switches. Closes#1245.
A Convert to Sheet Metal bend point can now lie on a bend modelled with its radius (a cylinder tangent to two flat faces) or in the middle of a chamfer; either becomes one bend at the faces' virtual sharp, with the rule's radius. Holes and engravings carry over. Bend points on edges convert as before. Recorded under format 21. Tests in cmd::sheet::convert_tests; the sheet-metal guide is updated.
Drive Joints opens on the joint picked in the browser, else the first joint that moves, and won't start on a rigid joint. ui.start takes params: joint.drive opens on a joint (id or name) at given values, driving nothing until OK; a command or param it doesn't take is refused.
snapshot starts from --in (a design or STEP file) with the script on top, as run does, and refuses options it doesn't take; an unknown command id names the closest registered ids.
joint.drive answers moved, and a reason (with unconnected) when the joint can move nothing; motion.play answers moved and unmoved; joint.list answers floating chains. joint.drive values come back in joint.list's shape (deg/mm). quiet: true trims joint answers and motion.play poses. A single value keeps a joint's other values. Drive Joints shows the floating case (drive.unconnected, all locales).
A symmetric solid extrude of 10 mm is now 10 mm thick, 5 mm each side of the sketch plane, and switching from One Side to Symmetric keeps the thickness entered. Under format 21 the extent records its convention; designs saved without it keep the per-side reading, so their geometry and parameters don't change. Fixes#1236.

* Title bar: inactive tabs without outlines, File menu, Help on the right
Inactive tabs go back to the plain bar colour (the Home tab's readable
hover stays). The separate Home button and theme toggle are gone: Home is
a tab and the theme is in Preferences. The folder icon becomes a File text
menu, Save moves into it (Ctrl+S unchanged), and Help sits on the right
next to Report a bug. Tabs start right after File, Undo and Redo.

An opt-in Touchpad navigation preset: Shift + pointer motion pans, Alt/Option + motion orbits, vertical scroll zooms, all without a mouse button. Existing presets are unchanged; view.navigate gains continuous motion for the control channel and scenarios.
A design note for SolidCraft in the browser: tiered storage, a SharedWorker job broker, GPU dispatch and in-browser agent control through the same engine commands, with the generic pieces in craft-libs. Linked from the MCP and web getting-started docs.
