Surface Revolve turns open curves and closed profile boundaries about a sketch axis into surface bodies, with cone apexes and sphere poles where a chain ends on the axis, and a closed shell made solid. Adds the SurfaceRevolve feature (format 18 note), the surface.revolve command, a dialog with Edit Feature support and analytic kernel and engine tests.
Part of #757.
The app's control protocol gets engine.batch: the steps run in one request (so one frame), each as engine.execute runs it, stopping at the first failure and rolling back to the checkpoint by default. The MCP batch tool sends it to a running app (with the control token), is never resent after a lost reply, and falls back to step-by-step when the app refuses (agent cursor shown, or a step loads a file). A batch may take up to an hour to answer.
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.
solidcraft --control PORT writes a random per-launch token to a user-only file (<data>/control/PORT.token; 0700/0600 on Unix, icacls on Windows; SOLIDCRAFT_CONTROL_TOKEN overrides) and refuses any connection whose first request lacks it. mcp --connect, the demo and packaging smoke clients send it. MCP execute/batch/open/save/export/screenshot are annotated destructive and open-world, new_design destructive. Docs: control-protocol.md, mcp.md, AGENTS.md, pending release note in releasing.md.

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.
Agent tool calls (MCP, and bridged control requests carrying allow_paths) reach files only in the open design's folder (strictly inside home or the temporary folder, not in a hidden folder, and never its hidden files), the app's recovery folder, the server's private scratch folder and each --allow-path; --allow-any-path lifts the limit. Paths are resolved first, so .. and symlinks that lead out (including a save through a link, #845) are refused. On Windows, UNC, device, NT, verbatim non-drive, drive-relative, alternate-stream, reserved-device and 8.3 short-name paths are refused before any file system call, and the resolved path must be on a local drive. doc.recovery_discard and doc.recover {discard} delete only real recovery entries. Docs: mcp.md, control-protocol.md, README.
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.

A coincident face is pushed apart only when the space it moves through holds nothing that changes the result; otherwise the boolean falls through to the exact strategies.

Loading a design (from a worker's start or restart to its first output) gets 300 s; each action keeps 90 s. oracle/41-tube-radial-holes (about 23 s here) timed out loading on a loaded CI runner, and reloads after a hung action were charged to the next action.

Sketch Move gets a toolbar placement in Sketch > Modify and a Move/Copy tool window with X and Y distances, an angle, an optional centre point and a Create Copy flag, replacing the context-menu route that ran the command with no parameters.
Completes the Japanese catalog (all commands, panels, dialogs and preferences) and routes the remaining hard-coded UI labels through the translation lookup. English stays the default.
The feature history can sit in a panel on the left, with folders that hold one unbroken run of features, drag and drop as one undo step, and a resizable divider. Timeline folders save under format 17.
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.
`SolveApp::start` now honours a command's enabled flag, so shortcuts, the command palette and the control channel can't start a disabled command, and Move is disabled while a sketch is open.
A cut or an intersection between prisms (a plate and the tools through it) is now decided in 2D before either operand is meshed. A body's size and volume are measured once, a placement reads its orientation from its matrix, the evaluation cache is bounded to 64 MiB, and STEP import copies fewer shells. Hole plates evaluate 20-30% faster with less memory, and models are unchanged.

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).
Adds render.backends, a metadata-only command that lists the render backends, their executors and profiles, with strict request resolution in the render crate (docs/render-backends.md).
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.

Sheet metal rims and bend ends attach by name (<panel>:rim.<edge>, <flange>:rim.bend0/1), as do face profiles from sheet faces. A plain or counterbored Hole square to a panel is machined into the flat pattern. Boss, Lip, Rest and Snap Fit keep the body's history and name their own faces. Hole tools name their faces by the part they cut, and pattern copies as copies. A pattern's repeated fillets keep the body's history. Loft sides are named by their section curves. A piece Offset Face moved off its face's plane attaches by its own qualified name. Sides of a profile grown to overlap a flush body keep their sketch line's name, so walls a Join merged take a sketch (#681). Face sketch 75% -> 90%, offset plane 75% -> 90%, press-pull/extrude 64% -> 85% in the action matrix; baseline blessed.

The `pi` story of examples/demo/enclosure_ui_mcp.py keeps the 0.6 flow and adds the rim
rounded in one pick (a tangent chain), "Pi 4" engraved in the floor in DejaVu Sans Bold, and a
PETG material defined in the design, with its mass in Properties, before the height change.
The 0.6 story stays as `pi-0.6` (it built demo/pi-case). The center rectangle now comes from
the Rectangle drop-down. The finished case is in the action matrix corpus as
demo/pi-case-0.8.
docs/screenshots/demo-0.8.gif (9.3 MB) and demo-0.8.mp4 (9.9 MB) replace the 0.6 files: 41 s

Joining ribs flush with a lid's window left a zero-thickness slit far from the rib (the planar fallback glued back only one of the faces its pieces shared) and displaced the tool on the other joins. Gluing now joins every shared face pair, coincident-face separation checks there is material behind a pushed face for every join, and any join or cut that needed a retry must be closed, keep volume monotonic and leave the part unchanged outside the tool's box, or it is refused with an error. Feature command replies carry the feature's warning.
