Hold the left button still (long-press on touch) or right-click › Select Other… to list everything under the cursor: sketch points and curves ("Line 3", "Point (arc 2 centre)"), vertices, edges, faces, bodies, profiles, planes and axes, filtered like a click and by the open dialog's active input. Hovering a row lights it up; clicking selects it (Shift/Ctrl add) or feeds the dialog. A repeat click on the same spot with nothing changed selects the next thing there; a double-click keeps its own actions.

A sketch on a flat face of a sheet metal body was refused ("this face has no exact planar
source"), so the only way was a plane frozen in space. When the sheet changes (a flange's
angle, the thickness), the frozen sketch stays behind: a cut from it fails on the slanted
flange or leaves a blind pocket in the thicker sheet.
`sketch.create` with a face of a sheet metal body now attaches the sketch to the panel the
face belongs to. It keeps the face's name, `sheet:<body>:<panel>:<top|bottom>` (the panel is
the base or a flange's feature tag), and takes the panel's exact plane from its flat region
and fold each time the model is evaluated, so the sketch follows the sheet through parameter
changes, unfold and refold. Its coordinates are the flat pattern's (the bottom face's y
mirrored). A face that is gone is reported as a lost attachment, never replaced by the
nearest face. The attachment follows a renamed or copied body, shows as `sheet_face` in the
command result and as its own status in Redefine Sketch Plane. `fixed: true` still freezes.

* Sketch on a cylinder primitive's caps (#420)
A solid.cylinder's caps carried no construction certificate, so a sketch
on its top or bottom was refused unless fixed:true (#420's crossed
cylinders, built from primitives).
- kernel: FaceSource::CylinderCap { producer, high, plane };
Body::with_cylinder_certificate turns a cylinder's two extrude caps into
certified caps. kernel::cylinder's output is unchanged for its other
callers.
- doc: FaceCertificate::CylinderCap { high }, named F<id>:top / F<id>:bottom
as the cylinder's face names already are; New Body and Join cylinders
are certified, shells carry it as their planar source.
- format 15: designs can store the new certificate kind; version 14
designs need no change, and older builds ask for an update instead of
meeting an unknown kind.
Tests: top and bottom attachments follow a height and base edit and a
reopen; crossed joined cylinders keep both caps attachable; a shelled
cylinder's floor keeps its cap identity; malformed certificate JSON is
refused.

Project, Intersect, Include 3D Geometry and Text resolved the active sketch's
plane without the model, so on a construction plane that is built from geometry
(perpendicular to a plane through a sketch line, through three points, midway
between two faces, tangent, along a path) they stopped with "this plane is built
from the model: evaluate first". Evaluation resolves the same plane against the
model before the sketch, in its component's frame; the sketch commands now do
the same, in one place, for adding a link, refreshing the links on an edit,
snapping a point onto an edge and the internal face profiles.
Tests: a sketch on a plane through a sloped sketch line projects a point and a
line of that sketch, follows a parameter that tilts the plane (also after reopen
and after another edit), holds text, intersects a body and includes an edge; the
same on a three-point plane and a midplane.

A left press with Ctrl (or Cmd) held, no Shift or Alt, on empty space orbits
for that press, unless the preset binds Ctrl+left itself. It only orbits
once the pointer moves: a Ctrl+click still adds to the selection, and
Ctrl+drag on sketch geometry still drags it without snapping. Works with a
tool active, without adding geometry. Ctrl+box selection from empty space
becomes the orbit; Shift+box selection still adds.
Preferences › Navigation and the UI tour mention it. Test drives every
preset through real pointer events.

One edge flange feature gave all its flanges one height and one angle. A
part whose flanges lean differently took one feature per angle, and
flanges of separate features don't close toward each other, so its
corners stayed open.
- sheet.flange (edge): an entry of `edges` is a point [x, y, z] as before,
or {point, angle?, height?} whose angle and height (expressions, checked
like the feature's) replace the feature's for that edge. Bad input is
refused with the edge named. Before, the object form was read for its
point and the rest was ignored without a word.
- The feature stores its edges as FlangeEdge. An edge without values of
its own is written as the plain point it always was, so designs without
them are read and written as before; an unknown key in an edge is
refused, not dropped.
- The edges' values are feature inputs of their own (Edge angle, Edge
height, after the feature's), so parameters, renames and
parameters.change reach them. timeline.edit names the edges again when
it changes them, so each value stays with its edge.
- SheetBody::add_flanges_each trims every edge by its own setback and
adds the flanges. The corners between them close as between equal
flanges: the closing already works from the two flanges it joins (each
one's fold and leg), so the flat pattern follows by hand from the
angles, the heights and the rule (the tests derive it).
- The Flange dialog shows a row per picked edge with an angle and a
height box (empty: the dialog's value) once more than one edge is
picked, and brings them back on Edit Feature.

Edge flanges meeting at a corner of the base were closed only at exactly
90°; at any other angle they stayed open (a V at 72°) and the rule's gap
was not used.
The flanges of one feature now close at any convex base corner and any
bend angle: each panel end is cut square to the sheet on a line in the
flat (slanted off 90°, stored as ext plus a new per-end slope) so the
edges nearest each other, on the inner faces, run parallel the rule's gap
apart about the plane bisecting the inner faces. The construction reads
the two flanges' own angles, so it holds for unequal ones as well. At 90°
it is the extension the old code gave (reference case 69-sm-tray is
unchanged). A corner that can't close (a gap under 0.01 mm, flanges
bending opposite ways, ends that would overlap in the flat pattern) stays
open, and the flange feature reports a warning that says where and why.
A flange of a later feature leaves the corner as it was (reference case
75-sm-bracket-holes: the earlier flange keeps its length).
Tested at 72° and 90° against a hand derivation, on a trapezoid, and
every 5° from 45° to 135° on a rectangle and a trapezoid (gap exact, one
flat region without hairline edges, one valid shell holding the flat
material).

A parameter change can break a feature without failing the command that
made it; parameters.change reports it only in its `errors`. `run` then
exited 0 and exported the bodies as they were before the failing feature:
a shrunk sheet-metal tray whose unfold failed came out folded, without
the holes and cut-outs made after the unfold.
`run` now checks the evaluated timeline before writing anything. Any
feature with an error fails the run with status 1, lists the failing
features on stderr and writes none of the --out and --save files, as a
failing command already does. --allow-errors writes them anyway. `eval`
is unchanged and still reports the errors in its timeline.

* Snap package: build, test and attach a strict snap to every release
packaging/linux/snap/snapcraft.yaml (core24, strict, gnome extension) repackages
the release's Linux tarball like the Flatpak does. The release workflow builds it
for amd64 and arm64, installs it with --dangerous, models a box in the confined
app on headless X11 and Wayland, and attaches solidcraft-<version>-linux-<arch>.snap
plus the version-less copy. When SNAPCRAFT_STORE_CREDENTIALS is set, nightlies go
to edge and release drafts to candidate, and snap-store.yml promotes candidate to
stable when a release is published. The README gets a Snap badge and install line.

Two-finger scroll pans the model instead of zooming; pinch-to-zoom
zooms toward the cursor and honors reverse zoom. Trackpad scrolls
arrive bracketed (Start..End, momentum included) while mouse wheels
send bare moves, so phases tell them apart: bracketed gestures pan,
bare vertical input zooms and bare horizontal input pans (thumb wheel).
Mouse line/page input keeps zooming, and ui.scroll now sends line
input so scripts and agents are unaffected. New Navigation preference
'Two-finger scroll pans' (default on) restores the old behaviour
when off.
* Release under the SolidCraft name: binaries, assets and installers
The desktop binary is now `solidcraft` and the CLI `solidcraft-cli` (the two app packages
are renamed; their folders move with the rest of the rename later). Every release asset is
named solidcraft-<ver>-… / SolidCraft-<ver>-windows-x64.exe, and the installers show the
SolidCraft product name.
Kept so existing installs keep updating (docs/compatibility.md):
- `solvecraft-cli` alias binary in every package, forwarding to solidcraft-cli with a
deprecation note on stderr (tests/legacy_alias.rs).
- Linux app ID ai.storyteller.solvecraft (Flatpak ID, desktop entry, Wayland app_id).
- MSI UpgradeCode, so the MSI upgrades in place.
- deb Replaces/Conflicts/Provides and rpm Obsoletes/Provides solvecraft.
- An old-named .zsync copy so earlier AppImages find updates; a legacy .flatpakrepo copy.
- .solvecraft file associations; SOLVECRAFT_* fallbacks in the packaging scripts.

Sketch Dimension refused a dimension the sketch couldn't take, with
"that dimension would over-constrain the sketch; add it as a driven
(reference) dimension with driven: true", which the tool gave no way to
do. It now places it as a driven dimension instead: while placing, the
preview shows it in parentheses in the driven colour, and the click adds
it at once (it has no parameter and no value to edit), with a status line
saying why. Other refusals, such as an unsupported pick, are reported as
before, since the driven dimension is refused too.
Refs #320
Co-authored-by: Vitali M. <[email protected]>
Between two points, or on a line, that don't line up with an axis, the
Sketch Dimension tool only offered the distance between them: an auto
dimension ignored where its text went. Now the placement picks what it
measures: across from the two (between the perpendiculars through them)
the distance between them, as before; past that, above or below them the
horizontal distance, beside them the vertical one. With no text, an
explicit type, or two ends already on an axis, nothing changes.
The tool previews the dimension from the cursor, so the choice follows
the pointer while placing it.

* Snap 3D bridge drawing to points on visible sketch planes
* Keep cross-sketch point picks out of sketch tools
`pick()` returned every visible sketch's points while 3D drawing was on,
so `sketch_point_at` and the sketch tools could take another sketch's
point as an active-sketch local point plus id (flattening it or making a
bad coincident reference). `pick()` is local again; the bridge snap uses
`pick_3d` explicitly and hover mirrors it for feedback. `sketch_point_at`
also ignores foreign points defensively.

- Remove xtask/data/fusion-catalog.tsv and xtask/data/fusion-ids.tsv.
- Remove the legacy command-id table (crates/engine/src/legacy_ids.rs) and its use in
find_command and in the shortcut, recents and pinned-command loaders. Only SolidCraft's
dotted ids name commands; any other id is an unknown command.
- Boundary Fill's id becomes solid.boundary_fill.
- Replace the parity report with SolidCraft's own feature checklist: `cargo xtask features`
writes docs/features.md from the command registry.
- docs/oracle.md, docs/step-import.md (corpus section) and docs/iges-import.md: reference
results are being rebuilt on analytic and open-source (FreeCAD) values; see #292.
`cargo xtask oracle` and `cargo xtask step-corpus [--iges]` write these placeholders.
- AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, README.md, ROADMAP.md and the book describe
SolidCraft as independent, with reference tests on analytic values and open-source tools,
and agents do not drive or extract data from commercial CAD products.

* Reject ambiguous origin and construction plane names
* Reserve origin plane names for construction planes; suggest the other alias
A construction plane can no longer be created with or renamed to XY, XZ, YZ, Top, Front or
Right, so a plane argument can't become ambiguous in new designs. For older designs that
already hold such a plane, the ambiguity error now also names the origin plane's other
alias (XY for Top...). The existing tests build those legacy names directly.

Navigation presets are now a table of bindings (button, required modifier
keys, camera mode) instead of string matches. The Alias preset binds
Shift+Alt+left to orbit, Shift+Alt+middle to pan and Shift+Alt+right to
zoom. A left press with a binding's keys is latched until release, so that
drag neither box-selects nor drags sketch geometry; plain left drags behave
as before. Shift only requests snapping when the binding without Shift
still orbits.
The scenario harness sends Alt with ui.drag/ui.click, and camera checks can
assert panned/zoomed since the last camera step. The user guide notes Alt+drag
grabs by KDE and GNOME and how to free them.

* Honor design units in sketch dimensions and measurements
* fix: apply document units to specialized length controls
* Accept explicit units in length fields; document design-unit dimension values
Length fields in a design-unit control now evaluate what is typed as a
length expression: a bare number stays in the design's units, while an
explicit unit ("10 mm", "0.5 in", "1 in + 5 mm") is converted.
Document that a bare numeric sketch.dimension value from scripts, the
control channel or MCP is read in the design's units.
