Free-form strips (a curved-edge fillet's B-spline bands round a saddle) vary
their normal too much along the loop for the loop-direction test, and the
hinted nearest-parameter search drifted on them: false 'runs clockwise'
reports on faces that round-trip exactly. The check now covers cylinders,
cones, spheres and tori (closed surfaces, where a loop read the wrong way
silently gives the rest of the surface); volume checks cover the rest. It
still flags all 8 sphere corners of a fillet box with their sense flipped.

- Surfaces of revolution follow ISO 10303-42 strictly in reader and writer: the
normal is d/d(angle) x d/d(profile), the opposite of truck's revolution, as
Fusion reads it (fixes Fusion inverting fillet sphere corners and the dimple).
step_orientation_errors flags faces whose loop runs clockwise round their
normal; engine, oracle and kernel round trips assert it.
- Revolved faces with analytic profiles are written as native PLANE,
CYLINDRICAL/CONICAL/SPHERICAL/TOROIDAL surfaces, and the pieces truck splits
a revolution into are merged back into one face per surface (with a seam
edge for full turns), so face counts match other systems.
- A horn torus (tight sweep: tube touching its axis) is written as one rational
B-spline face whose loop passes the pole twice, with truck's zero-length pole
edges collapsed, instead of a degenerate surface of revolution; the reader
starts such figure-eight loops off the pole (Fusion's own part 50 now imports
with the right volume).

Meshing (vendored truck-meshalgo) works within a budget so hostile files
cannot hang: bounded edge and surface divisions (point caps, depth and
round limits, NaN-safe), and a grid budget per face shared out per shell.
Surface grids refine only the direction that bends; rulings left undivided
get cells comparable to the other direction, so trimmed cylinders (holes,
tee joints) no longer lose volume to long triangles. The helical sweep
imports in 12 s instead of 7 minutes.
Small sphere patches get poles away from them even when the file runs a
seam through the patch (a pyramid's corner blend). Faces the mesher cannot
mesh are reported as import warnings. Test: wild B-spline and far-off
boundaries import in bounded time.
STEP corpus 65/66 (50-sweep-tight-bend: a horn-torus bend whose inner side
collapses to a point; Fusion's own area for it is also off).

Our writer assembles the file: AP242 header and contexts, a product per part
(or per component, with NEXT_ASSEMBLY_USAGE_OCCURRENCE and item-defined
placements per occurrence), named solids, surface colours as styled items,
ADVANCED_FACE for advanced breps. truck now writes only each body's B-rep,
which we copy in; identical geometric entities are written once and shared.
Designs with components export as assemblies (bodies in component frames).
step_validate also rejects unreferenced non-root entities. Tests: the sample
plate and a component assembly export, validate and read back with no
warnings and the same volume, area and face counts; the oracle replay checks
area and faces too (39 rebuildable cases pass). An independent Part 21
parser (step-p21, run outside the repo) accepts our exports.

Vendored truck-stepio (writer only): an intersection curve's second surface
was written at the first one's id (duplicate ids for every boolean edge),
and revolved surfaces lost their orientation (the modeling-surface sense was
always true; inverted or mirrored revolutions came out inside out). Export
now writes intersection edges as C1 cubic B-splines through exact points,
so files carry plain 3D curves and no redundant surfaces.
Vendored truck-meshalgo: hinted parameter searches that run off a B-spline's
domain are rejected or clamped (meshing their grid never finished).
STEP import: straight revolution profiles are bounded in the meridian plane
and stop at the axis; loops on revolutions start away from the axis; face
extents include edge end points. Edges between pieces of one split surface
draw as seams.
kernel::step_validate checks a STEP file (duplicate ids, dangling
references, dense numbering); the oracle replay now exports every rebuilt
part, validates it and re-imports it with no warnings and the same volume
(all 32 rebuildable cases pass).

Export: ExportCommand/CLI --out/MCP export with .3mf write a 3MF Core package
([Content_Types].xml, _rels/.rels, 3D/3dmodel.model; millimetres), one
mesh object and build item per body, named after it, vertices shared and
welded watertight (T-junctions between faces split), base-material colours
when bodies carry one (STEP colours now ride on bodies). Tessellation as
for STL. File > Export 3MF.
Import: doc.open/drag-drop/CLI/MCP open accept .3mf and .stl; Insert Mesh
(ParaMeshInsertAlignCommand) adds them to a design as a MeshImport feature.
Kernel mesh bodies render, measure exactly, move and export; solid
features refuse them with a clear error. 3MF reading flattens components
and build transforms, converts units, reads colours; sizes, entries,
nesting and element counts are capped.

A visit budget stops shared sub-assemblies from growing exponentially (with
a test); the loose-solid pass gets its own budget. An Import feature is
named after the root product, else its only body, else the file. Restores
a test function closed off by the rebase.

Import base feature (FeatureKind::Import, timeline type BaseFeature) holding
the STEP text and the file's product tree; bodies named from the file.
doc.open accepts .step/.stp (any case) as a new design; Insert STEP
(FusionImportCommandFromToolbar) adds one to the current design; File menu,
SOLID > INSERT, drag-and-drop (insert into a non-empty design, else open),
'solvecraft part.step', MCP open. Features (fillet, hole, sketch-on-face
cut, shell) work on imported bodies. Imports are cached so a file is read
once per command. Measure tightens its chord tolerance for small radii.

Own ISO 10303-21 parser and AP203/AP214/AP242 geometry reader in the kernel
(step_import): planes, cylinders, cones, spheres, tori, B-spline and rational
surfaces, surfaces of revolution/extrusion; lines, conics, B-spline curves;
breps with voids, faceted breps, shell models; units (SI prefixes, conversion
based), product names, colours, assemblies (NAUO + item-defined
transformations, mapped items). Hostile input is capped and guarded; faces
that cannot be read are left out and reported. Faces that wrap around a
closed non-periodic direction (pipe tori, revolved B-spline bands) are split
for truck's mesher. Bodies are meshed per shell so open imports never panic.

The kernel moved from monstertruck to truck: truck's booleans handle blind
holes, pockets and bosses that monstertruck's did not (see the ADR). Fillets
and chamfers on straight convex edges between planar faces are our own exact
local B-rep operation. The document holds parameters with unit-aware
expressions and a timeline that re-evaluates incrementally.
