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.
The bridged MCP server starts when no app is listening, says so in its instructions and in each tool error, and connects on the first call after the app starts. A batch that could not be sent says the app is not running. docs/mcp.md describes it.
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.
* Preferences ▸ Graphics ▸ Display quality: Coarse, Normal, Fine, Ultra (#1287)
A viewing preference that sets how finely the viewport tessellates curved faces and edges:
chord tolerance relative to each body's size (3e-3, 1e-3, 3e-4, 1e-4) and the most a facet may
turn (30, 20, 12, 7 degrees). Normal is the tolerance the viewport has always used.
Bodies keep a display plan per level, so switching is a re-plan the first time and instant
after; the reference mesh the model reads (picks, holes, measuring) and exports are unchanged.
Away from Normal the model scene builds edges, and faces on the CPU path, from the plan at that
level, so silhouettes and edges get finer with the faces and a highlight still lies on the
displayed triangles.
The preference is saved with the others, set over the control channel (`ui.prefs`
`display_quality`), labelled in en/de/ja/ko/zh. `solidcraft-cli bench-open --display LEVEL
[--edit NAME EXPR]` times the plans at a level and after a parameter edit.

* Highlighted edges follow the display quality too

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.

Lands the Render workspace (R3), bounded preview-image jobs with cancellation and atomic PNG export (R4a), and opaque PBR looks as one change.
- Render workspace: an overlay-free product preview on the installed GPU device. Returning to Design restores its camera. render.scene and render.settings.apply are added.
- Image jobs: render.preflight/start/status/cancel/export run bounded CPU preview jobs. Export captures the job, overwrite choice and document, and checks the caller's file scope before writing.
- Opaque PBR: looks can carry metal fraction, roughness and dielectric IOR. The product viewport and preview PNG use them; geometry and mass are unchanged. The v1 catalog export refuses PBR rather than dropping it.
- Render setups and PBR looks are saved under design format 21. Labels are in en/de/ja/ko/zh/ru.
Supersedes #706 and #800. Refs #620, #673, #756, #1004.

A design built over MCP is many small commands, and each one did work over the
whole design, so building or showing a 1,300-body design took minutes:
- moved components were transformed and meshed again after every change; world_state
now reuses each placed body whose definition and placement are unchanged
- next_d_name searched the design once per candidate number
- Document::eval evaluated every parameter for every expression; now only when the
expression names one
- param_rows' used_by was quadratic; the desktop no longer gathers completions on every
change while no text box has focus
solidcraft-cli bench-agent builds a generated ~1,300-body bicycle command by command
and times it (241 s -> 16 s here). Eval output is unchanged apart from timings.

Thin Extrude builds walls of a set thickness along sketch curves, open chains and closed loops, with the wall centred, inside, outside or on both sides at two thicknesses. Saved under format 20 (thin on an Extrude); an extrude without thin saves as before. Closes#721.
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.

Display meshes after opening, the face names read when a feature finds a face by name, and inspect.measure over all bodies are now worked out per body on plain scoped threads (solidcraft_kernel::for_each_on_threads / map_on_threads), in body order and with the same results; the browser build stays serial.
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.

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.
Adds oracle case 81 (a box edge rounded at a clamped cubic B-spline radius) with analytic expected values, and passes spline fillets through recipes.

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.
