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.

Extrude and Revolve from a body face take `face_body` to say whose face is meant where faces of several bodies meet flush at the picked point. Without it, an ambiguous pick now names the bodies that meet there instead of saying there is no face. Fixes#703.

The mouse wheel over a dialog's list, a drop-down or a menu that hangs over the model now scrolls only that list; the view zooms only when the pointer is really over the model. Fixes#678.

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.
With nothing selected, Extrude and Revolve no longer pre-pick the last sketch's profile when a feature already builds from it, so OK no longer cuts into a part nobody picked. Fixes#684.

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).
The nearest point on a triangle with a zero-length edge (a cone's tip) is no longer NaN, so an axis or tangent plane on a drill tip works again (#567).
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).
A cut built slab by slab (the exact prism boolean) sewed the result from horizontal
slabs and only joins merged the coplanar pieces back. So a floor vent cut through the
Raspberry Pi case split the long wall into strips at the ports' tops and bottoms
(87 faces instead of 79 at 32 mm), and at 24 mm the end opening split the end wall.
- Prism booleans merge coplanar neighbours for every operation (faces only: edges,
curves and surfaces stay exact), keeping each face's construction source where all
its pieces share it, Split Face lines and regularization protection. Painted or
protected operands keep their authored pieces as before.
- The prism history now tells apart a wall's several edges with its caps (a wall
with openings meets each opening's floor), so cuts beside existing openings keep
exact history and faces keep their names.
- Tests: the Pi case's faces pinned after every feature at 24, at 24 changed to 32,
and built at 32 (each outer side one face); random openings and bosses on a
shelled case never split another side; every corpus design rebuilds a parameter
edit like a fresh build and reverts exactly.
- Action matrix baseline: demo/pi-case re-blessed (fewer, merged faces; no
regressions), demo/pi-case-0.8 recorded, and 88 new passes on
regressions/lid_ribs_flush_with_window.

A clover of same-size rectangles drawn around a shared corner was refused as over-constrained.
Constraints that remove no degree of freedom but still hold (zero residual) are now kept and shown dimmed as redundant. Conflicting ones are still refused. A redundant driving dimension is refused with "already determined by ...". Typed sizes become driven (reference) dimensions. Drawing no longer adds Horizontal/Vertical to a side that is already implied through two coincident corners. The solver reports redundant constraints using a Jacobian row-dependence test.

Two L's extruded up and down from one 2 x 2 grid now join into one solid (the planar rebuild gives each fan of faces around a pinched vertex its own vertex copy), and a pad whose end lies half past the edge of the face it stands on fuses exactly: contact faces are imprinted with each other's outline and the common faces glued away, still held to the retry guard. Face splitting handles a line crossing an edge twice; glue matches differently parametrised curves and keeps several pieces apart. Robustness seed 16 now fuses with the exact volume.
Fixes#679, fixes#674.

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).

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 loading card was centred on its height, so Cancel moved when the progress bar or the saved preview appeared, and a click could miss it. That's what made the Cancel test flaky on slow runners. The card is now anchored at its top, Cancel sits in the heading row and the progress bar is always shown. Progress::hold_at lets the test hold a load at a feature boundary until it's cancelled.

Main was red since #577 and #644 landed together. Seed 16's pattern copy rests half past the block's edge; the join used to add 72 mm³ past the edge silently and is now correctly refused. The test records that; proper fusion is tracked separately.

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

The Pages deploy failed while the latest published release (0.7.0) still carries ai.storyteller.solvecraft: the bundle check only accepted the new id and exited without a message.

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.

The loading box was a full-window modal whose backdrop covered the custom title bar. It is now a light overlay under the title bar, so dragging, snapping, resizing and the window buttons keep working during open, import and recovery. The timeline rebuild shows feature N of M, and Cancel or Esc stops it at the next feature (solidcraft_doc::progress). Recovery restore now runs off the window thread too. A control or MCP doc.open or import is answered once the file is in and doesn't block frames; edits sent meanwhile wait their turn. The web build still opens in place.

A single edge's blend no longer needs a plane square to the edge at each end. Straight edges: each rail ends where it reaches the end face's surface, the side edges there are shortened or continued along their line or circle, and the blend ends where its cylinder or chamfer plane meets that surface (a fitted curve checked against both). A chamfer may end across two faces. Curved edges: at a slanted or curved end the rolling ball runs on past the end and the strip is cut back where it meets that face. A straight edge running smoothly into a bend or rounded corner is blended along its whole smooth chain. Rolling-ball fixes: smooth chains follow edges stored against their curve, the ball touches only the faces of the edges it rolls along, the seam normal at a joint comes from the face there, and each strip is fitted with neighbouring sections at its own spacing.
Action matrix: edge.fillet 83.6% -> 93.0%, edge.chamfer 82.6% -> 93.3% (697 new passes, no regressions); reference tests 76/76.

Select Other keeps at most 20 rows per kind, nearest first, so a dense spot (a modelled thread, an imported mesh) no longer lists thousands of rows. The title shows how many were under the cursor in all, and ui.selectOther reports it as total.
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.

Fixes#396. A union that would come back as shells touching over an area is rejected and the face-in-face case is fused exactly; line and point contact stay as before.
Body::new no longer turns a long thin solid (a through-all hole's tool) inside out on the strength of a coarse mesh volume: it checks again on a fine mesh first. 79 more face.hole actions pass in the action matrix; the remaining no-result cuts stay under #559.

Fixes#602. Collinear-edge merging, piece naming and the dialog preview each work in one pass instead of quadratic loops; the issue's example goes from 86 s to 5.1 s.
Fillet fit: reduce lowers the radius only where it doesn't fit: picked edges are grouped where they can limit each other (sharing a face or vertex), and each group gets the requested radius where it fits, otherwise the largest that does. Refs #293.

A flat face that no construction certificate names on its own now attaches by its exact history name (a new lineage face certificate): cut walls and floors, chamfer faces, each pattern or mirror copy, side walls a Join merged, and the pieces a later feature split a face into. Construction certificates still come first; a seed keeps its certificate when it is patterned. Two flush extrudes of one outline joined end to end keep their exact history in the prism boolean. Face sketch 52% -> 71%, offset plane 52% -> 71%, press-pull/extrude from face 41% -> 60% in the action matrix; baseline blessed.

New view.apply command restores a named view, a standard view or any camera (view state, not an undo step); the desktop viewport follows it and the browser's Restore uses it. The MCP screenshot tool takes a named view or a camera. Un-ignores the #528 regression test. Fixes#528.

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 point dimensioned from linked geometry (projected, included or intersected) keeps its side when a parameter moves the link's source past it: the solve reads sides and turns from the stored state instead of from beside the moved line, both on recompute and when editing the sketch.
