jyvikoandClaude Opus 5.5 1fcc7acf84 render: lines drawn on top, any number of overlay layers, length per pixel
A scene's `on_top` lines are drawn after every depth-tested layer, over the
model, so a concentrated load at a point inside the part can be seen from any
side (#78). `render_layers` takes a list of overlays (the setup's symbols and
the selection highlight become separate layers), and draws every layer's
labels. `Camera::length_per_pixel` is the model length a pixel spans at the
target: the scale symbols of a fixed screen size are drawn at.

jyvikoandClaude Opus 5.5 3aab588b8b Navigation: orbit about the point under the cursor, zoom toward it, presets in the display menu
An orbit turns about the model point under the press (the pick ray's
first hit on the plot, the mesh or the design), or the centre of what is
drawn when it starts on empty space, keeps that point still on screen and
marks it while orbiting. The wheel and a pinch zoom toward the point
under the cursor; the wheel's delta is read as it arrives, so a notch
zooms in full in orthographic and perspective views alike (#273).

Mouse presets and reverse zoom come from SolidCraft (prefs.rs NavPreset,
NAV_PRESETS; MIT OR Apache-2.0): FieldCraft's own (left drag per the
navigation bar) stays the default, Ctrl + left drag from empty space
orbits in every preset. They are chosen in the display menu, settable
with ui.set and kept in prefs.json beside recent.json (the browser build
keeps them for the page's run); an older prefs.json still loads.

Fixes #262, fixes #273.

jyvikoandClaude Opus 5.5 f5a84f5f74 Browser: setup state marks and ghost rows on the tree
Each top-level node that is a setup stage carries a mark at the right
of its row beside its count (done, next, blocked) with the reason and
place in its hover, and a node still lacking what its stage needs shows
a ghost row that starts the providing command. ui.inspect reports each
node's state as browser.

jyvikoandClaude Opus 5.5 910d437819 App: ask before a mesher replaces a body's mesh
The form's OK on a mesher whose body already has a mesh opens a Replace
mesh prompt ("CrankArm already has a mesh (7,274 hex20). Replace it?"),
naming sets that list the old labels and results that will be cleared.
Replace runs the form; Cancel leaves it open. The control channel's
ui.dialog submit is the OK button, ui.prompt answers replace or cancel.
Programmatic calls never ask. Fixes #267.

leave free: the results legend, the selection bar, the gizmo and the
navigation bar (framing::free_part). Standard views fit too, so a long
beam's front view keeps both ends (#147); fit and home leave the legend
clear (#76). The view frames itself in the home view when another model,
sample or design is opened (Session::opened; the same design opened again
after an edit keeps the camera) (#233), and when results come up with part
of the model out of sight (#223). ui.inspect's layout reports the legend.

jyvikoandClaude Opus 5.5 a0f48c7207 render: quadratic elements draw through their mid-side nodes; geometry edges over the mesh follow it
Zoomed in on the hex20 crank arm, the element edges and the shaded faces
did not meet (#260). The mesh is conforming; the display drew each hex20
face and edge as straight chords between corners while the mid-side
nodes lie on the curved surface (up to 0.44 mm off the chord at 3 mm),
and drew the geometry's face boundaries from the design tessellation,
off both.

Now a quadratic face is cut into triangles whose vertices are its
corners and mid-side nodes, each edge is drawn as its two halves, and
over the mesh the geometry's edges (and a hovered design edge) are drawn
as the element edges on geometry edges (`DisplayEdge::feature`), so
faces, edges, feature lines and the highlight share their vertices.

A reference field (a material, set, step…) with no items was a free-text box; it is now a greyed

picked, or as it was on Cancel. A required reference with one candidate, or with the browser's
selection of its kind, starts picked when the form opens, so the fields and the JSON view agree.

Contact definitions on face sets: a pair (each surface's nodes against the
other's faces), general contact on a surface (self contact) or on every
exterior face of the solids; Coulomb friction with static and kinetic
coefficients and an exponential decay, a penalty scale and the choice to
adjust or refuse initially penetrating nodes, validated with caps. Rigid
walls of explicit steps gain friction. The check wants solid faces on
contact surfaces; sets used by a contact cannot be deleted.

quadrilateral (projected Newton) to a point, and a bucket grid of face
boxes for the global search, deterministic and bounded.

jyvikoandClaude Opus 5.5 d93c106143 App icon: a fringe cube with flow streamlines replaces the meshed bracket
The mark is now a hex-meshed cube in isometric view whose faces carry a
banded colour fringe (blue to red, hottest at the front corner), with three
tapered streamlines wrapping around it. The small variant keeps the fringe
cube and one bolder streamline. Icon Composer gets four groups (floor, flow
behind, cube with mesh, flow in front), its maximum. The title-bar mark is
redrawn as the fringe cube.

jyvikoandClaude Opus 5.5 5011ae5896 ui: on the web, run a background job once its progress is shown
The browser build has no threads, so a background job (opening a file,
meshing from a form, solving) ran inline in the click and the page froze
before it said what it was doing. Now the work waits until the window
has drawn the job's progress, then runs on the window thread in the
next frame. Native jobs still start on a worker thread at once.

Part of #119

jyvikoandClaude Opus 5.5 4445be0b48 mesh.quality: a one-line summary, shown in the status bar
Quality from the ribbon printed its whole JSON report into the status
bar, cut off after the first metric's histogram, so a user saw braces
and no answer. The report now carries a `summary` line ("30676 elements,
all valid; scaled Jacobian min 0.305, mean 0.963", with the invalid and
undetermined counts when there are any), and the status bar shows a
reply's summary instead of its JSON whenever it has one. The CLI and MCP
get the same line.

jyvikoandClaude Opus 5.5 e4e3c9a699 ui: mesh in the background from the mesher forms
OK on a mesher's form ran the command on the window thread: octree hex
on the bolted assembly froze the window for over a minute, with no
progress and no way to stop it. The tet and hex meshers' forms now run
their command as a background job on a copy of the session, as opening
a file and solving do: the window keeps drawing with the job's name and
Cancel, the form closes when the mesh is in and shows the error when it
is not. ui.dialog {run} stays synchronous for programmatic callers.

The new test walks a first-time user's path: Open picks a SolidCraft
design, Tet Mesh opens its form, OK with the defaults meshes the part,
and a mapped hex mesh of a holed plate says why it does not fit.

jyvikoandClaude Opus 5.5 8a4209a20c control: ui.drop drops files on the window
The Open dialog is a native picker the control channel cannot click, so
nothing could walk a person's open path end to end: ui.start file.open
opens the command's JSON form instead. ui.drop {paths} hands the paths
to the next frame with the window system's drops, which open them
through the same route a picked file takes (open_path: by type, in the
background, the unsaved-changes prompt, the recent list). At most 16
paths of at most 4096 bytes each.

jyvikoandClaude Opus 5.5 f11be61ff3 control: ui.select on the viewport and ui.selection
ui.select now also drives the viewport's selection: the filter, box
mode, items by name and label as model.set.create takes them, a pick at
a window point or the visible items in a box, changed by a mode
(replace, add, remove, toggle). ui.selection reads it back with its set
members and the hover; ui.dialog takes use_selection (the form's Target
row). Selection stays in the window: no engine command. Documented in
docs/control-protocol.md, with a test that picks the cantilever's free
end by a simulated click and a box, makes sets of it and resolves them,
and hostile-input tests (bad points and boxes, labels, huge lists).

jyvikoandClaude Opus 5.5 9e269a9f45 ui-egui: select faces, edges, vertices, bodies, nodes and elements by picking
A click in the viewport picks what is under the pointer through the
selection filter (the selection bar, top centre): geometry faces, edges,
vertices and bodies, or mesh nodes, element faces and elements. Shift
adds, Cmd/Ctrl adds or removes, a click on nothing clears, Escape
clears; with Box on, a left drag selects the visible nodes, element
faces or elements inside the box. What a click would pick is
highlighted under the pointer with its name beside it.

The selection is kept in the model's persistent terms: geometry by name
(GeometryRef, named through the mesh's geometry tags or the drawn
bodies' face names), so it survives a remesh, and the mesh by label
(labels the model loses drop out). It reads as a set's members.

Picking runs on the CPU against the triangles both renderers draw. The
selection and the hover are drawn as an overlay in the theme's new
pick_selected and pick_hover colours (light and dark), outlined; the GPU
draws it as a second small layer, so a hover change uploads only that.

Command forms that apply to part of the model (sets, boundary
conditions, loads, sections, couplings) get a Target row whose Use
selection fills the members, or makes a set of the selection and names
it. A right click offers Create set from selection.

jyvikoandClaude Opus 5.5 98d2f55407 render: the bodies of a design with several in their own colours
Geometry triangles remember their surface (body); the viewport and the
headless pictures draw each body of a multi-body design, such as the
cells of a partitioned part, in its own colour from the theme (eight in
turn), and a single body in the geometry colour as before.

jyvikoandClaude Opus 5.5 2183fdbe81 solver: nonlinear static analysis by Newton–Raphson with automatic increments
solve.nonlinear follows a nonlinear static step in load increments: dead
loads and prescribed displacements ramp with the load factor, a pressure
follows the deformed faces (its load stiffness symmetrised so the
supernodal Cholesky stays), the consistent tangent is refactored every
iteration with an optional line search, and an increment converges on
force, displacement and energy together. Increments start from the
extrapolated last one, grow after fast convergence and are cut back on
inversion, a non-finite or growing residual, an indefinite tangent or too
many iterations; the step stops cleanly at the minimum increment, the
increment cap or the Newton iteration limit. Elements are assembled in
parallel in label order (same bits on any thread count). Results carry
Cauchy stress, logarithmic strain, the increment history and a displacement
frame per increment, which results.frame and the results panel show.
Trusses, shells, beams, plane stress, incompatible modes, temperature and
centrifugal loads are refused by name; couplings warn that they stay
linear.

jyvikoandClaude Opus 5.5 5665cc3d8c ui: the viewport draws the analysis setup's symbols, with toggles
The setup's symbols (fieldcraft_render::glyphs) are built with the display
data and drawn over the model in every style, at the drawn nodes (a results
plot's deformed shape), muted over results; the clipping radius holds them.
Theme tokens give their colours in light and dark. The browser's Loads & BCs
and Interactions rows get eye toggles (ui.set show_loads, show_interactions),
also in the view menu. The GPU viewport draws reference point names with the
interface's font; the bottom left says which definitions are sampled.

jyvikoandClaude Opus 5.5 34200013a4 The ribbon follows each command to its stage
A command run by a script, the control channel, MCP, the command search
or the browser left the ribbon on whatever tab it showed, so an agent's
session never showed the stage it was at. `catalogue::stage_tab` is the
rule, from the catalogue: a command's entry tab, none for the Tools tab
(files, history, the model summary). The app follows it after a command
that changed the model or the results display (queries leave the ribbon
alone); a script follows its last command with a stage. A ribbon click
runs a command of the tab shown, so it never moves the ribbon: a test
checks every entry and drop-down command against its tab.

jyvikoandClaude Opus 5.5 025c826dd4 results.deformed: scale 0 draws the undeformed shape
A factor of 0 was refused, so a picture sequence swinging the deformation
out from the undeformed shape had to start at a small factor or switch
`show` off. 0 is now a factor like any other (the view stays deformed), and
the results panel no longer works around the refusal. The MCP show_results
docs say so, beside `deformed: false`.
