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.

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`.

* ui.capture: the whole window drawn offscreen and rasterised on the CPU
ui.screenshot falls back to it when no frame is presented (hidden window,
locked screen), so agents can look at panels and the toolbar.

* Draw the open design and imported surfaces in the viewport
DisplayMesh keeps node labels on every element primitive (for results),
gains add_surface (geometry faces and their boundaries, coincident points
welded) and displaced (elements moved by nodal offsets). Bodies are
tessellated at a thousandth of their size; meshed models show the geometry
as boundaries only.

* results.* commands: deformed shape, contours, mode shapes, animation, reaction sums
The results display is session state (ResultsView), set by commands that are
not edits. Nodal fields (displacement, von Mises, principal and component
stresses; principal stresses in closed form after Smith 1961) and reaction
force and moment sums per set. Results kept from an earlier revision stay
viewable, marked stale; solve.probe says when a result is stale. The Results
tab's display and reaction entries are ready.

* Results display: deformed shape, contours with legend, mode shapes and animation, probe, reaction sums
The viewport draws the session's results view: elements moved by their nodes'
displacements or a mode shape (automatic or given scale), faces split exactly
along contour band boundaries into flat-coloured pieces (same on GPU and CPU),
a legend with levels and extremes, a results panel whose controls run the
results.* commands, a click probing the nearest node (solve.probe), and stale
results marked. Solving from the form shows the result on the Results tab.
sample::cantilever is a solvable model for tests and demos.

* Simplify the results display (review)
One Contour in the plot; the results scene reuses scene::build; a solve shows
its result through the engine (ResultsView::for_result) and the UI raises the
Results tab when a view appears; the plot's scale and contour values are kept
across animation frames; design bodies are tessellated once per design; the
first content is framed where the display is rebuilt; field_values in one
match; probe reuses results::displacements.

* Results display for explicit steps: field frames, energy histories
The results view works on the engine's step results (static, frequency,
explicit): ResultsView.frame and results.frame {frame | time} pick an explicit
field frame; the deformed shape (true scale) and contours (element stresses
averaged to the nodes, velocity) follow it; animation runs through the frames.
The Results panel has a frame slider and plots the kinetic, internal, hourglass
and external energies with their values at the frame. sample::impact is a
steel bar flying onto a rigid wall.
