FreeCAD .FCStd and Rhino .3dm files open, insert and drop like STEP and IGES:
cadmpeg (Apache-2.0, pinned =0.6.1, native builds only) detects the format,
decodes it under its service resource caps, validates the model and writes it
as STEP AP214, which becomes an Import feature in a new component named after
the file, with the up and names options.
Only the fcstd, rhino and step codecs are compiled in (no default features).
ACIS is left out: cadmpeg's sat codec is a ShapeManager stream decoder.
native_cad.rs is the single importer seam. Self-made FreeCAD and Rhino box
fixtures, hostile-input, ZIP-bomb and cap tests, engine tests for the
component path; the browser build reports these formats as not supported.
A note under design format 23 says an Import's file can name these formats.

* Agent chat prototype: drive an ACP agent the user already has from a side panel
A desktop-only chat panel (off by default) that starts a coding agent over the
Agent Client Protocol and gives it SolidCraft's MCP server, bridged to the open
window through the token-protected control channel with the default folder
limits. It finds installed agents (Claude Code and Codex adapters, Gemini CLI,
Copilot, Qwen, OpenCode, goose) with version and login state, streams text,
tool calls and plans, shows the agent's permission requests, and when an agent
isn't signed in shows its own login methods without handling any credential.
Design notes and findings: docs/design/in-app-agent-chat.md.

* Windows: resize border from the first frame, DPI-correct window moves (#1381)
- The egui resize zones were laid out after the start page's early return, so a launch without
a design had no resize edges at all. They now run on every page.
- Windows: the main window's procedure answers WM_NCHITTEST with the resize edges and corners,
Windows' own border width at the window's DPI (8 px at 100 %), so the OS shows its resize
cursors and runs its own resize (snap included) from the first message; no egui zones there.
- Windows: WM_GETDPISCALEDSIZE returns the size winit then applies (same logical size), so the
rect the OS suggests while the title bar is dragged onto a monitor with another scale is the
rect the window gets.
- Zone sizes and hit test shared in titlebar.rs and unit-tested; Windows CI checks the hit test
right after launch and a real edge drag.

One docked Save as mesh dialog replaces Export STL / 3MF / 3MF with face tags, with an optional Send to slicer that lists the slicers installed on this machine. Engine: file.save_mesh and file.slicers; the Convert Mesh dialog goes (mesh.convert and the MeshConvert feature stay, so existing designs open). Strings in all catalogs; screenshots in the PR. Checked on main + this branch: cargo check --workspace, the engine slicer/mesh/file tests, the UI catalog and menu tests and scenario s14 (the one local colour-token failure is epaint's TexturesDelta panic, which main shows on this machine too).
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.
Without a 3DxWare profile, Linux now uses the driver's object-mode mapping (physical Ry and Rz swapped and reversed), so a tilt rolls and a twist spins. Windows and macOS are unchanged; a profile still takes precedence. Fixes#1172.
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.

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.

* Action matrix regressions of #1255: knuckle rounds, thin holes, a 45° flange hole, an axis after an edit
- Curve blends: past the end of a curved edge the run of sections along the end
tangent wrapped round the ring of centres; it is shortened while it still
crosses the end face (the hinge knuckle's cap rounds at 0.728 mm).
- Boolean retry guard: each body's volume is measured finer than its smallest
radius, and a volume out of bounds is measured again ten times finer before
it refuses (a 0.133 mm drill measured -30272 mm³; a plastic part's coarse
mesh was off by more than the slack).
- Sheet metal: a drill cap's certificate allows the evaluation noise its fitted
tilt shows (a hole square to a 45° flange).
- Construction geometry on a named face uses the face found by name, not a
second pick at its nearest point (an axis through a corner round after a
parameter moved it).

* Retry guard: measure the target, tool and result at one tolerance
Measured at different tolerances, the chords' error on the faces they share

* Action matrix: nightly shards cut by measured cost, heavy designs in slices, and a determinism check
The full matrix ran as four fixed quarters of the corpus and two of them hit the 60-minute
job limit. Now action_matrix_shard runs shard k of n (ACTION_MATRIX_SHARD=k/n), planned from
tests/action_matrix/costs.json: designs that take more than five minutes are split into slices,
and the pieces go largest first to the least loaded shard. The nightly runs 12 shards and uploads
each one's outcomes and timings; cargo xtask action-matrix --from DIR --bless records them in the
baseline and costs.json without running the matrix again. action_matrix_determinism runs a sample
twice and lists any action whose outcome changed.

The baseline is regenerated from the 10 shards' results of a full run on 01b1b705

names that changed, and 40 actions that passed before and fail now, each listed in #1255
(22 fillets refused since #949, 4 hinge blends since #1101, 9 on the loft cut, 5 single).
costs.json now holds every design's measured time, and the nightly runs 16 shards of about
17 minutes. An action that passes in the baseline and times out is listed but not judged,
and stays passing when blessed: two runs of the same build differed only on 10 actions that
took 50-84 s against the 90 s limit.

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.

A crash inside a graphics driver left only "an unclean exit between
commands": no backtrace, no module, no hint that it was at startup.
- The crash journal now keeps the startup step the app is in (window,
graphics instance, surface, adapter request, adapter chosen, device
creation, renderer and viewport shader compiles, surface configure,
first frame and its present, running) and the renderer as soon as the
adapter is picked. egui-wgpu tells the app about its steps through a
small hook. An unclean exit before the first frame names the step.
- Windows: an unhandled-exception filter (src/native_crash.rs, the one
Windows-only module allowed unsafe) writes the exception code, the
faulting module and offset, and a minidump next to the journal; the
next start puts them into the report.
- The Windows CI job runs a child that faults on purpose and checks the
report.

* Windows: start Direct3D 12 first, and Vulkan only without a D3D12 GPU
wgpu started Vulkan, D3D12 and OpenGL together and preferred Vulkan, so
every Windows start loaded all installed Vulkan drivers. An old Intel
Vulkan driver (igvk64.dll) crashed 0.10.1 at startup inside the driver.
The app now probes D3D12, then Vulkan, then OpenGL, one backend at a
time, and starts only the first with a hardware adapter (WARP when none
has one). WGPU_BACKEND still wins; graphics.json's "backend" sets the
order by hand; the software renderer (safe mode, the retry) uses D3D12
alone. A new Windows CI job starts the real app under several settings.

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.

Open and Save use parented AsyncFileDialog sheets; their answers run on the UI thread in a later frame, so resizing the window while a picker is open no longer re-enters winit and aborts. Editors, tab changes, Close/Quit and model-changing control requests wait for the answer; the local library Open and Export in the Appearance dialog use the same flow. Fixes#1088.
Startup no longer stops at a bad settings file or a missing GPU: a settings file that fails to load is set aside, a failed GPU start retries with the software renderer, and a safe mode starts with defaults. Adds a troubleshooting page to the guide.
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

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,

macOS hands files opened from Finder, the Dock or open -a to the application delegate's application:openURLs:, which winit's delegate lacks, so AppKit showed "SolidCraft cannot open files in the SolidCraft design format". open_documents adds that method to the delegate's class before launch finishes and queues the paths for the UI, which opens them like files named on the command line.
This is the one place SolidCraft's own code uses unsafe: the app crate denies unsafe_code instead of forbidding it, and only the two macOS-only functions in open_documents.rs allow it, with the reason documented there and in AGENTS.md. Adapted from VectorCraft (see ATTRIBUTION.md).
Closes#997.
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.

The sampled pi-case hole on Body1/F13:side:[email protected] became a real hole with #952 (7.5 s instead of 170 ms); beside the heavy tests on main's push runs it passed the matrix's 90 s action limit in its edit round, reported as the design not loading. The sample now takes every CPU in nextest so nothing runs beside it, and the edit round writes a start line so a hang there is reported as <action>+edit.

A hole drilled along a panel, into its rim, has no place in the flat pattern
as a cut-out, so every such hole was refused. It is now kept as a bore of that
panel, in flat coordinates, and cut only from that panel's material when the
folded part and its flat pattern are built, so the sheet still unfolds and
folds back with it. A hole that would run into a bend, or cross a panel at an
angle, is still refused. The flat pattern lists the bores.
The action matrix worker takes ACTION_MATRIX_ONLY (just these actions) and
ACTION_MATRIX_UNFOLD (unfold and refold every sheet after each action) for
rechecking one group by hand.

Fillets and chamfers ending on a boss's pieced wall or beside it, on a face that runs along its seam twice, and loops the loop blend refuses
- A straight edge whose end meets one curved surface in several faces (a cylinder a join left
in pieces) ends on that surface: the section is cut where it crosses each seam, which is
shortened there; where no seam is crossed (the wall missing inside the other body) the
section lies on the bared surface and the rest of the side edge becomes a seam.
- Two end faces that aren't both planes meeting in lines: each face takes the section's points
on it, cut where it crosses the edge between them. Not where an end face runs on smoothly
from a side (an earlier round): the corner build takes those.
- Face boundaries close over several connector edges.
- A face on a periodic surface running along its seam twice (as a STEP file gives it) is
rebuilt the same way (#691).
- A curved chain ending square on a face that runs on past its side extends that face's seam.
- A smooth chain stops before an edge between faces that meet smoothly.
- A loop the loop blend refuses for its shape is blended edge by edge; refusals about its size
stand.
- Action matrix: ACTION_MATRIX_ACTIONS and ACTION_MATRIX_VALIDITY for quick local runs; the
fillets and chamfers that pass now recorded.

Closing a socket with unread input resets the connection, and the reset could reach the client before the refusal did (requests_run_only_after_the_token failed 17 times in 100). The server now ends its side and drains, briefly and up to 64 KiB, what the client had sent before closing: 0 in 100.

A through-all hole's tool is twice the largest body long, and the boolean's tolerances
followed that length: a 6 mm hole through a 920 mm part was traced at nearly 1 mm, wider than
the hole, and the cut came out empty or failed. When every other strategy has failed, the
boolean is now asked again (unshifted, then once shifted) at tolerances scaled to where the
bodies meet: the overlap of their boxes and the thinner operand's thickness. Its result is
checked as the others are and held to the retry guard. It runs last, so whatever an earlier
strategy answered is kept as it was, and only for single-shell operands (bodies in several
pieces are retried a piece at a time, each with this pass of its own).
The sampled shortcut also gave up on a slender tool lying across its box (a long hole drilled at
an angle fills little of it): it now samples past the first 2000 points until enough land
inside, so a tool that misses a body leaves that body as it is. Bodies that had enough samples
in the first 2000 are sampled exactly as before.
Baseline: the 90 actions that newly pass, rechecked one by one with the final build.

The browser build fetched its Japanese fallback font only for a Japanese UI,
so a Japanese design name, file name or typed text showed as tofu with the UI
in English. After drawing each frame the web shell now looks through the
painted text for kana, CJK ideographs and full-width forms while no CJK font
is loaded, and fetches the same font once on the first hit. A failed fetch
with an English UI leaves the language alone and is not retried in a loop.
Sessions that never show such text download nothing extra.

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.
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.
