Implicit solver: fem kernels (tet4/10, hex8, hex20), sparse Cholesky, block Lanczos, solve.* commands (M4) (#23)

* Renumber the layer table for solver crates: fem at L1, solver at L2, fsi at L3

L0 model -> L1 geometry, mesh, fem, decks, render -> L2 solver (explicit, lbm later)
-> L3 fsi (later) -> L4 doc -> L5 io -> L6 engine -> L7 ui-egui, mcp -> apps.
UI_MIN_LAYER moves to 7, the testkit sits above it.

* modelcraft-fem: element kernels for tet4, tet10, hex8 (full, incompatible modes), hex20 (full, reduced)

Shape functions, Gauss and conical-product quadrature, stiffness, consistent and HRZ-lumped
mass, body forces, consistent pressure loads on faces, integration-point stresses and their
least-squares extrapolation to nodes, isotropic and orthotropic elasticity. The element table is
one row per kind, so wedges, shells and beams are added locally.

* modelcraft-solver: linear static and frequency analysis with an analytic verification suite

Assembly from the resolved model on the node graph, boundary conditions by elimination,
consistent pressure, gravity and body-force loads, nested-dissection ordering, sparse up-looking
Cholesky with a factor-size cap, reactions, integration-point and nodal-averaged stresses, von
Mises; shift-invert block Lanczos with full reorthogonalization for natural modes, participation
and effective mass. ADR 0001 records the own-linear-algebra decision (determinism, wasm).

Verified against closed forms: displacement and traction patch tests for every element, cantilever
tip deflection (Timoshenko) with convergence rates, Lamé cylinder, Kirsch hole (Kt -> 3),
cantilever and free-free beam frequencies with six rigid-body modes.

* Engine: solve.static, solve.frequency and solve.probe; results kept in the session

Results are stored per step, restored on a failed command and cleared when the model changes.
Caps (degrees of freedom, factor entries, Lanczos vectors) may only be lowered; hostile parameters
are tested against a solvable session.

* Simplify the solver: shared face integration, block assembly, cached extrapolation

- model: one face integrator (nodal::face_normal_weights) for tractions and pressures
- fem: mid-side tables from ElementKind::edges, orthotropic via inverse3, symmetric
  accumulation without a symmetrize pass, incompatible-mode recovery without K_uu, model's
  coordinate check, dead table rows removed
- solver: one pattern search per node pair (block, scalar and diagonal adds), extrapolation built
  once per element type, reactions from the prescribed rows only, matrices dropped after
  restriction, the free-body shift keyed on the factorization error, step selection in the solver,
  Error::Element naming the element
- engine: the solver owns the default step and the shift check; the model comparison runs once

**Linear algebra:** to be decided in the solver task, among permissively licensed pure-Rust

**Linear algebra: our own.** *Decided 2026-10-13 (implicit solver task):* `modelcraft-solver`
has its own sparse symmetric storage, nested-dissection ordering (George 1973, by coordinate
bisection), up-looking sparse Cholesky (Davis 2006, elimination trees per Liu 1990) and
shift-invert block Lanczos with full reorthogonalization (Ericsson–Ruhe 1980, Grimes–Lewis–Simon
1994) on a Householder + implicit-QR dense eigensolver (Golub–Van Loan). `faer` (MIT) was the
alternative and is faster on large problems, but it selects SIMD kernels by CPU feature at run
time (AVX2, AVX-512, NEON), which changes floating-point reduction order between machines and
breaks the bit-for-bit determinism rule; it is also a large dependency tree for the browser
build. Our code is sequential with a fixed operation order, `unsafe`-free and wasm-safe, and its
factor size is known (and capped) before any value is computed. Cost if this is wrong: large
models (beyond a few hundred thousand equations) factor slower than they could; the remedy is a
supernodal factorization of our own, or `faer` behind the same `Factor` interface with a stated
tolerance instead of bit-identity, as the GPU exception already does.
