The last four truck crates are gone from the manifest. What they were doing
falls into three parts, and each now has one answer instead of two.
NURBS evaluation. truck was carrying B-spline curves and surfaces for the
SPLINE entity, hatch boundaries, BLEND's endpoint frames, the spline preview
and ACIS spline-surface faces. The kernel now has both, over one de Boor
written across however many coordinates a control point holds — so a plane
curve and a space curve cannot drift apart, and a surface is the same
algorithm applied twice. The rational and the polynomial cases stop being
separate types: weights absent means polynomial.
The entity conversion. Every LINE, ARC, ELLIPSE, SPLINE and polyline was
built into truck topology purely so it could be sampled back into points.
They are sampled through `entities::curve` now, which is where each one's
geometry is already defined once and what EXTRUDE and REVOLVE read — so a
circle drawn on screen and a circle handed to the Model tab come from the
same definition. That retires four of TruckObject's variants and the module
is renamed for what it does.
SWEEP and LOFT. Both only ever produced a mesh, so both are built from point
lists: a band of quads per span, and a lid where a profile closes. Lofting
profiles of different densities resamples them by distance rather than by
index, so a circle lofted to a square no longer twists.
Two things worth noting for anyone reading the old comments. The tolerance
globals that lived in the tessellation module were never about truck at all —
they are the per-frame chord height, and they move to `curve_tol`. And the
rule that a profile handed over as `Lines` silently broke EXTRUDE and REVOLVE
no longer holds: those read the curve directly and never look at this channel.
The two `automation` test failures are unchanged from before this and are not
caused by it.

Every 3-D solid OCS makes or opens now goes through cadkernel, which holds
analytic surfaces — a cylinder is a cylinder record, not a spline that looks
like one. That is what lets a solid built here be written back out as exact
ACIS instead of a triangulation, and a facetted export is a one-way door: the
next application to open the file would have no way back to the circle.
The Model tab's seven primitives, the Design-group booleans, 3DROTATE,
3DMIRROR, 3DALIGN, SLICE, SECTION, POLYSOLID and PYRAMID all come from the
kernel now, and `scene.solid_models` holds a `Body`. A mirrored solid needed
its own care before; the kernel reverses the loops on the way through, so it
comes back the right way out rather than lighting black.
EXTRUDE and REVOLVE sweep the profile `entities::curve` already defines, so a
circle, an arc-bulged polyline and a closed spline arrive as the same thing.
A circle extrudes into four cylinder patches rather than a run of chords, and
a profile turned about an axis becomes a cone, a sphere or a torus. A spline
profile has no analytic side wall and is refused rather than approximated.
ACIS goes both ways through the codec's own bridge: `lift` to read and
`append` to write. That drops the 679-line truck conversion and the planar-
only exporter, and the tessellator keeps its bespoke sampler as a fallback for
whatever the kernel cannot yet express — reported rather than passed off as
whole, since a mesh missing a wall looks finished.
truck-shapeops is no longer used and is gone from the manifest. truck-modeling
stays for now: fourteen files use it as a 3-D NURBS evaluator, which the
kernel has no answer for yet, and SWEEP and LOFT have no kernel operation
behind them either.
The two `automation` test failures are unchanged from before this and are not
caused by it.

STRETCH ended itself when a crossing window caught nothing, so a missed
aim meant restarting the command to try again. A missed aim is not a
decision to stop: say what happened and ask for the corner afresh, the
way a selection that picks nothing leaves MOVE still asking.
Enter now ends the selection stage too. With objects already picked the
window is only there to narrow them, so there is nothing left to choose
— Enter takes a window containing all of them, which stretches every
vertex, which is the whole selection moving. That is what a
pick-selected stretch means. With nothing picked there is nothing to
end, so Enter still cancels. The prompt says so.
Not changed: with a prior selection, a window that misses every vertex
still goes on to ask for the base point. The command holds wires, not
entities, and the entity rules do not follow the wires — a small window
inside a circle catches its centre, and so the whole circle, while no
tessellated vertex is inside. Guarding on the wires would refuse that
stretch.

Only Previous and Last were on offer, so Window, Crossing, Fence, the two
polygons and All could not be reached at all -- and with no keyboard to
type them into, the buttons were the only way in.
Window and Crossing fix the sense of the next box. Dragging derives that
from the direction the corner travels and would overwrite it the moment
the corner moved, so the derivation stands down while a keyword holds it.
Add and Remove decide what a pick does for the rest of the round: Remove
subtracts the way Shift already does, rather than through PICKADD, which
decides whether a pick *replaces* the set and so would have wiped
everything gathered so far. Both are dropped when the next command
starts, since neither outlives the selection that asked for them.
Fence and the polygons are picked point by point, which TRIM and EXTEND
already ask for. That gesture -- the points, the rubber-banded dashed
preview, whether the path closes -- moves into one place both bind to,
and the two preview builders duplicated in trim.rs go with it.
A fence is not the polygon test with crossing set: that closes the point
list and counts whatever lies inside, so a line drawn past a row of
objects would take everything behind it too. It gets a hit test that only
counts a real intersection, and skips the area-based geometry entirely.
The lasso gathered its hits from wires, hatches, block hatches, meshes and
block meshes inline; the new modes need the same list, and a second copy
would drift. Both now come through `Scene::path_hit_handles`.

Add a searchable block palette with previews, file import, collision-safe nested definitions, and dependency/table-record import. Keep palette thumbnails current across drawing switches and block-definition edits.
