The preview builds only the tool; the boolean runs once on OK, off the window thread, with a Computing label while it takes a while. Follow-up to #1020.
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.

Adds a French catalog as a partial locale (missing strings fall back to English, like Russian), registered in the language list, with tests and attribution.
A design carries metadata (format 21): project, part number, revision, author, organization, description and license, plus other tools' data under reverse-DNS keys, kept as written. Edited in the Design Properties window (Document Settings), set by document.metadata.set, reported by inspect_design, and written into STEP, IGES and 3MF where the format has a place for them. Translated, with tests.
Colour vision modes (Protan, Deutan, Tritan) in Preferences > Graphics, with palettes, shader and icon colours adapted per mode, translations and tests.
render.settings.set saves validated named render setups (camera, output size, exposure, environment) as one undo step, and render.settings.get reads them back without applying a camera. When validated render settings are the only change, the engine keeps the evaluated model instead of rebuilding it. Setups are saved under design format 21; format-20 designs read as having none. Fixes#658; refs #620.

The screenshot controls, the submission steps and the Open GitHub draft button stay outside the scrolling review; the clipboard fallback is explained before a long draft opens; text fields leave a pixel of room so the window no longer widens while idle at 140% scale. Instructions in en/de/ja/ko/zh.
Inactive document tabs get a faint outline so neighbouring tabs stay apart, and the Home tab uses the same hover tint as the design tabs so its label stays readable in the light theme. Fixes#1115.
Adds sheet.perforate: round holes on a staggered or square grid over the flat sheet, kept clear of edges, cut-outs and bend zones. The holes go to the flat pattern, the DXF and the measured volume rather than the B-rep, so a panel can carry many thousands of them.
Adds local scalar appearance and material libraries: a catalog in the io crate with safe writes, engine commands to list and apply library entries, and a library dialog in the UI, with docs.
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.
Where SolidCraft can replace itself safely, the Update window gets Update now:
- AppImage: the new AppImage is downloaded next to the old one, verified and renamed over
it; Restart now starts it as SolidCraft exits.
- Windows MSI: the verified .msi starts (msiexec /i … /passive) once SolidCraft has closed,
after the usual questions about unsaved designs.
- Windows portable zip / standalone exe: the running solidcraft.exe is renamed to .old, the
new one takes its name (solidcraft-cli.exe too), Restart now; .old goes at the next start.
- macOS: the verified .dmg is opened (the app is ad-hoc signed and not notarized, so it isn't
replaced behind the user's back).
- Flatpak, Snap, deb, rpm, tar.gz: never replaced; the window shows the command.
Every package's SHA-256 must match the release's SHA256SUMS.txt (HTTPS, same release); a
mismatch deletes the download and changes nothing. With PUBLIC_KEY set in update/install.rs,
SHA256SUMS.txt.minisig must also verify (minisign-verify, MIT) with a trusted comment naming
the release. release.yml signs the list when the UPDATE_SIGNING_KEY secret exists and fails
when the app expects signatures but the secret is missing; docs/releasing.md has the steps.

At start, and at most once a day, a background thread asks GitHub for the latest stable
release (one HTTPS GET to releases/latest, nothing else sent; 15 s timeout; silent when
offline; GitHub's rate limit respected). When it is newer than this build, an Update button
appears next to Report a bug. It opens a window with the version, the release notes and
Download (the asset that fits this installation), Skip this version and Remind me later.
- Versions compare as semver; a nightly counts as the release it was built after, so it is
offered only a newer stable release.
- The installation is detected (AppImage, Flatpak, Snap from the store or a file, deb, rpm,
tar.gz, Windows MSI/portable/exe, macOS app); Download picks the fixed-name asset.
Development builds and the Flatpak (no network permission) never check.
- Preferences > General > Updates: Check for updates automatically (on) and Check now.
- HTTP via ureq + rustls with the operating system's certificates (desktop app only).
- docs: Updates and privacy page.

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.

* feat: validate physical material cards with sources and conditions
* feat: query directional elastic modulus from physical material cards
* fix: register physical material validation labels in complete locales
* fix: register directional elasticity labels in complete locales
* Add German and Korean labels for the material property commands

Adds the read-only material.properties.validate command: schema_version 1 engineering material cards in SI units are checked for numerical consistency and elastic stability, with derived isotropic moduli, missing conditions and sources needing review. Nothing is assigned or saved.
Thanks @0xlillith.
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.
