Lattice Boltzmann flow on the CPU: model, solver, engine (M12) (#36)

Model: Newtonian fluid materials; fluid domains (box, spacing, conditions on
the box faces, obstacle bodies with conditions on their named faces, initial
velocity, body acceleration); fluid steps with caps. Deck writers refuse
fluid steps; a fluid-only model needs no mesh in model.check; one step
selector (Model::select_step) for every solver.

New L2 crate modelcraft-lbm: D3Q19 two-relaxation-time collision with Guo
forcing; halfway bounce-back walls (moving walls after Ladd), slip faces,
periodic pairs; Zou–He velocity and pressure faces with the D3Q19
transverse correction; obstacles voxelised from the face-tagged boundary
surface with exact predicates and symbolic perturbation; momentum-exchange
forces per box face and per B-rep face; unit conversion, automatic time step
and Mach/tau limits; bounded runs with frames and force histories.

Engine: model.fluid_domain.create/edit/delete, model.fluid_domain.boundary,
solve.fluid (obstacles from the open design or imported surfaces, lowerable
caps), solve.probe for fluid fields and wall force histories. Fluid Domain,
Inlet & Outlet and Lattice Boltzmann toolbar entries are ready.

Verification (analytic): plane Poiseuille exact with Λ = 3/16 and second
order (2.000) with Λ = 1/4; Couette exact with the wall shear; Taylor–Green
decay second order (2.01, 2.00); staircase pipe; Stokes drag of a sphere
array within 1.7% of Hasimoto at R = 6; Zou–He channel; mass conserved to
round-off; bit-for-bit reproducibility. Benchmark: Schäfer–Turek 2D-1.

| M9 Post-processing and deck readers | Results readers for public formats (Nastran OP2, LS-DYNA d3plot, Abaqus `.fil`); XY and path plots, cuts, display groups, free-body forces; deck readers that keep unknown keywords; mesh convergence studies | planned |

| Continuous: verification and validation | Every capability checked against theory (closed forms), experiments (published measurements) and published benchmarks (NAFEMS, vendor benchmark and verification manuals such as Abaqus's), each case our own model in `tests/oracle/` with its cited reference and tolerance; `cargo xtask oracle` runs them and writes docs/oracle.md; once a case matches, our result is frozen as a fixture so fidelity cannot regress (docs/verification.md) | started |
