sketch.text and sketch.edit_text took at, height, angle and text with a silent default when a value had the wrong kind, so a height of "H" made 5 mm text and at: ["H", 25] put it at the origin. An input that is given (not null) now has to be what it names, or the command is refused with the input's name, and a null at no longer passes as the origin.
timeline.export_script (and solidcraft-cli script) writes a design's history as a command script that solidcraft-cli eval replays into the same design, so a bug that only shows on one design becomes a one-file repro. timeline.add restores one stored feature with its id, names and references, through the same checks a design file gets when it opens.
Closes#886. SychPL's #1078 approached the same issue independently; thanks to both.

Fillet gets a Curvature (G2) radius type (type: "curvature", alias "g2"): a quintic blend whose size is the equivalent circular setback, for convex and concave straight edges between planar faces with a perpendicular planar end face at each end. Unsupported cases are refused rather than falling back to a circular fillet, and a blend that would cross a loop in its end face is refused. Persisted as a fillet style under format 19; labels in en/de/ja/ko/zh.

Sketch Mirror, rectangular and circular Pattern, and Offset now show a green live preview that follows the selection and settings; OK commits, Cancel leaves the sketch unchanged. The shared dialogs show the current selection step and source counts, sources can be toggled with Ctrl/Cmd-click, cleared and reselected.
Offsets keep editable driving distance dimensions (One Side, Two Sides, Symmetric) that update the derived curves without moving the source, with undo/redo and save/reopen. Format 19: older files keep their fixed offsets.
New dialog labels in en, zh, ja, de and ko.
Fixes#696. Fixes#517.
The plate check compared the face outline's area (from the tessellation, so each hole was a polygon of chords) with the exact volume, and refused plates with a few small holes. Where the outline runs along a cylinder about the plate's normal it is now an arc of that circle; coaxial pieces of one radius are one wall, so a hole split into two, three or four faces is one circle. The check passes with its tolerance unchanged, and the flat pattern and its DXF carry one CIRCLE per hole (ARC for rounded corners and slot ends).
A round blank now converts too, so unfold_cut_refold_and_convert checks the refusal with a block thicker at one end instead of a rod.
A design with components and joints exports as a URDF robot description (file.export to .urdf, the MCP export tool, solidcraft-cli run --out, File > Export URDF...). It writes one binary STL per component in metres, links with mass, centre of mass and inertia from material density, and maps rigid, revolute, slider, cylindrical, pin-slot, planar and ball joints to URDF joints or short chains. Loops, broken joints and loose parts are reported as warnings. Options: mesh_prefix, effort, velocity. Docs in docs/urdf.md.
A sketch text gets an optional style: bold and italic faces (a slanted fallback for italic), left/center/right alignment, letter and line spacing, and a path curve of the same sketch for the baseline to follow (reverse takes the other side). Edit Text gets B/I toggles, alignment, spacing fields and a Path chip, all live. The style is saved only when not plain and is noted under format 18.
A hole drilled square to a flange's panel, not only the base's, is now a flat cut-out of the sheet: it unfolds with its panel to where the bend allowance puts it, shows in the flat pattern and DXF as a circle, and survives unfold and refold. A pocket tool spans the cut-outs already inside it (a counterbore's hole), so the order they are made in no longer matters. Fixes#560.
tests/robustness/goldens.json records what each of seeds 0-95 builds: its steps, how it ended (ok, or the kind and the start of the error it was refused with) and, for the design it left, the bodies' total volume and area (within a relative 1e-6) and their face, edge and shell counts. tests::robustness_goldens fails on any change; ROBUSTNESS_GOLDENS_BLESS="why" records one, with the reason and the seeds it moved. Pull requests that touch crates/kernel run every 8th seed; pushes to main and the nightly run every seed.

A Sketch Palette toggle (sketch.options show_construction) that hides construction geometry from drawing and picking; saved with the sketch's view options under format 17.

Follow-up to #718: a face place snaps only to sketch points that are shown, and the face under the cursor is looked up once per pick.

A sketch's link to a projected edge now keeps the edge's persistent name and finds it by that name when the body changes, instead of taking whichever edge ends up nearest its point.
Convert to Sheet Metal now takes a solid or a shelled body by its bend edges (`bends`): the faces reached from the fixed face across those edges become the sheet, keeping the part's envelope, with the flat pattern by the rule's K-factor and radius. Other edges between sheet faces are cut open. The result works with edge flanges, cuts, Unfold/Refold, the flat pattern and DXF. A conversion without `bends` is the plate conversion as before. The optional `bends` field is noted under format 17. Fixes#647.

The Box, Cylinder, Sphere, Torus and Coil dialogs now start their sizes in the design's units with the unit written out ("20 mm", "20 in"), like the other dialogs. OK makes the same sizes as before. Fixes#630.

A Single hole picked on or near a sketch point that lies on the face (a circle's centre) now goes to that point, as a Multiple pick does. Picks away from sketch points, or near one that isn't on the face under the cursor, stay where they were clicked. Fixes#657.

Dragging a text outline now moves the whole editable text, and Move/Copy shifts or rotates it as one piece (a copy stays independently editable). Content, font, height and outline identities are kept; a drag is one undo step and Esc restores the start.
Sheet-metal cut-outs and base flange outlines drawn with ellipses, splines or text stay exact curves in the flat pattern and the unfolded body; the folded body follows them with tangent arcs within 0.001 mm (#659).
An edge flange picked on an edge that cut-outs have partly removed is built along what is left of that edge (the stretch nearest the pick), so each side of a notch can get its own flange.
0.8.0 shipped format 16. Lineage names of a piece qualified by the faces around it, and sheet face names of a rim (rim.<edge>) or a bend end (rim.bend0/1), now come under format 17. Format 16 designs need no transformation, and the version stamp makes 0.8.0 ask for an update.

Home, Fit, the orbit pivot and the scene's depth range counted sketches the view doesn't draw (ones used by an extrude or revolve, ones in hidden components), so after a body moved away from its sketch Home framed the empty spot it came from. They now use the world-space bounds of what is shown now (view::visible_bounds / view::sketch_drawn, viewport::view_bounds). The pick-box cache holds its world state instead of its address. A middle-button double-click goes Home in every preset (Preferences › Navigation: Home, Fit or Off).
Fixes#689

As soon as a pick settles the dimension (one line, circle or arc, or the second point or line of a distance or angle), its value box takes the keyboard with the measured value selected. The text follows the cursor while typing and Enter places it there (or in its default place), as one undo step. A click before typing pins the text and keeps the box focused, a click on another entity makes a distance or angle, Tab hands back to placing first, Esc cancels. Letters go into the box, not to tool shortcuts.

component.insert_design adds a component holding another design's solid bodies, linked to its file (stored relative to the assembly once saved). component.update_links reads the linked designs again, component.break_link keeps the bodies and forgets the file, and component.links lists them. Links are saved under format 16; an older build keeps the bodies and drops the link.
Fixes#533
An edge flange whose edge ends at an inside corner of the base now trims only the strip under its own edge, so legs and stems past that corner stay. Where the bend ends beside more of the base, the rule's bend relief (relief_width, relief_depth) is cut into the base, or a note says why it was left out.

The Flatpak app id, desktop/metainfo/MIME file names, icon name and the window's Wayland app_id / X11 class are now ai.storyteller.solidcraft, the id the ArtCraft launcher expects.
Existing Flatpak installs move over: the Pages repo marks app/ai.storyteller.solvecraft end-of-life with a rebase to the new id, so flatpak update offers the switch and Flatpak carries ~/.var/app along. A new install next to the old one copies settings and autosaves on first launch through a read-only grant on the old data folder. The metainfo declares <replaces>/<provides>, the desktop entry X-Flatpak-RenamedFrom, and AppImages drop the menu entry an older AppImage installed. deb/rpm upgrades remove the old-named files.

A save with cache: true also stores a small bounded PNG thumbnail (240 × 150, at most 256 KiB, keyed to the exact document) made from cached meshes only. Home uses it when its local picture is missing, without rebuilding the design; ordinary saves and downloads still omit it. Closes#303.

A design can define its own physical materials (material.create, material.edit, material.delete): name, density and an optional look. They work everywhere built-in materials do: assignment, mass properties, colours and configuration cells. Stored in user_materials, an additive field under format 16. Un-ignores the #554 regression test. Fixes#532.

An edge flange on another flange's far edge (a return) runs along that edge from end to end, following the parent's closed or cut-back corner, and returns of one feature close toward each other at convex base corners, mitred the rule's gap apart. Bends stop square where the mitre allows. Fixes#593.

The bend table, flat pattern and DXF list a bend only where its centre line has material: a bend that cut-outs (or pockets that together go through the sheet) shorten keeps what is left, and one they split gets a row per piece, all with the bend's number.

A Box cut, or a Cylinder cut whose axis is the sheet's normal, machines a sheet metal body like the extrude cut of its footprint: through the sheet it's a cut-out (a cylinder an exact round one in the flat pattern and DXF), part way it's a pocket. Primitives at other angles or across a bend are still refused. Un-ignores the #541 regression test. Fixes#541.

Inscribed, circumscribed and edge polygon tools preview their actual outline (side count and orientation) while drawing, with the current line type, instead of only the support circle. Preview work is bounded. Fixes#520.

sheet.flat_pattern reports every cut-out exactly in a new cutout_shapes list, parallel to cutouts: a round hole as a circle, other cut-outs as their lines, arcs and (for other curves) polylines. Pockets get the same. The DXF writer and the JSON share one circle test. Un-ignores the #542 regression test. Fixes#542.

A scheduled/manual CI job scans locked dependencies for advisories, bans and unknown sources with cargo-deny 0.20.2 (never on pull requests, contents: read, no secrets). The first scan flagged quick-xml 0.38.4 (RUSTSEC-2026-0194/0195), so the workspace moves to quick-xml 0.41. Fixes#468.

Construction (X) keeps the active sketch tool, its picked points and inline values while switching line type, and drawing previews and hover show the same dashed pattern as committed construction and centre lines. Fixes#584 and #581.

Refs #303. file.save / file.save_as can store a warm native geometry cache (cache: true, off by default) keyed to the document hash, app version and adapter revision. Opening shows a bounded preview from it until the rebuilt session replaces it. Any cache failure counts as a miss.
apps/solidcraft-cli/tests/action_matrix.rs tries sketch, offset/angle/mid planes, press pull, extrude from a face, hole, draft, shell, fillet, chamfer, axes, points, planes, projection, move, copy, mirror and pattern on the final bodies of 104 designs (the old design files, the examples, the 76 reference recipes, the enclosure demos, the Pi case built through the UI, eight typical parts), through the commands and picks the desktop sends, each design in its own process, with an edit round on a sample of passes. tests/action_matrix/baseline.json is a ratchet: an action that passed there and fails now fails the test; newly passing ones are reported for cargo xtask action-matrix --bless. Every CI run checks a fixed sample; the nightly Action matrix job runs the whole matrix in four parts. 30,567 of 35,576 actions pass (85.9%); results and causes in docs/action-matrix.md, one ignored reproduction per open cause (#556-#568).

Fixes#478. Desktop Ctrl/Cmd +/-/0 now update the saved UI scale instead of flashing back, and the Preferences scale slider applies the new layout on release (range 50-250%, matching the preference validation). Addresses the drag jitter in #272.
sketch.text and sketch.edit_text take an optional font: an installed family or a .ttf/.otf/.ttc file. Edit Text gets a Font field. The font is kept with the text under format 16; no fonts are bundled, and the font search is bounded.

A hole positioned on a face now follows that face along the hole's own axis instead of sliding to the face's nearest point. When the face no longer reaches the position, the hole stays where it was placed and the feature says so.
