A D3Q7 passive scalar rides on the D3Q19 flow: it is advected by the
cell velocity, diffuses with the fluid's thermal diffusivity (the
relaxation time follows from k / (rho c)), and feeds back into the
momentum through a per-cell Boussinesq force when the domain has an
expansion coefficient and gravity. Walls and obstacle faces hold a
temperature (anti-bounce-back), a heat flux (added to the bounced
population) or are adiabatic (bounce-back); velocity inlets carry the
held temperature in, pressure outlets copy their neighbour.
The heat crossing each face group is accumulated during streaming and
reported in physical units (W) in the result's heat histories, next to
the force histories; frames gain a temperature field and the stats
report the thermal relaxation time.
Closed-form checks: linear conduction between held plates, a flux wall
against q H / k with the wall's heat balance, an inlet temperature
carried through a plug flow, and a periodic blob that conserves its
total and returns after one lap. The de Vahl Davis cavity (Ra 1e3 and
1e4 against the published Nusselt numbers) is there as an ignored test
because it takes minutes.
The GPU backend declines domains with heat for now and asks for the
CPU; its kernels follow.
Part of #157.
A fluid domain may carry thermal settings: the initial temperature,
gravity and the fluid's expansion coefficient for buoyancy, and a thermal
condition (adiabatic, held temperature, heat flux) on each box face and on
named obstacle faces, adiabatic unless told otherwise. The material then
needs an isotropic conductivity and a specific heat. Boundaries are set
one at a time like the flow ones.
Part of #157.
Crates fieldcraft-*, binaries fieldcraft and fieldcraft-cli, the .fieldcraft file (format tag
fieldcraft/1, manifest fieldcraft.json), FIELDCRAFT_* environment variables, the MCP server
name, egui widget ids (fc_*), the app icon document FieldCraft.icon and its generated family,
docs and licences. No compatibility shim: no files of the earlier name exist.

* test: hostile-params test runs under small session work caps
Session gains Limits, the defaults of mesh.tet.generate's max_steiner and
max_tets (production values unchanged; a parameter still overrides them;
file.open keeps them). The registry-wide hostile-params test runs on
sessions with small caps, so the needle-triangle tessellation it meshes is
refused at once instead of meshing to the 50k Steiner cap: the engine test
binary drops from ~350 s to ~20 s locally.

* ci: move heavy tests to a heavy job on main, nightly and on demand
Four slow tests are #[ignore = "heavy: ..."] (every corpus recipe, the
cantilever convergence study, the explicit-vs-modal cantilever period, the
generic-predicate rational cross-check); fast representative tests of each
area stay in the PR gate. cargo xtask test --heavy runs every ignored test
(benchmarks included) and the doc tests; cargo xtask test and ci run the
rest without the doc tests. The new heavy CI job runs it on pushes to main,
nightly and on workflow_dispatch. Branch jobs restore main's rust cache and
no longer save their own. AGENTS.md documents the rule.

* test: the three slow LBM verification cases run in the heavy job
The Stokes-drag sphere array, the staircase-pipe convergence study and the
developing-channel case are heavy (21 s, 11 s, 6 s alone); plane
Poiseuille, Couette, Taylor-Green, reproducibility and the stability
limits stay in the PR gate.

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.
