The improvement objective was the smallest dihedral sine, which misses
needles: every dihedral angle fine while a corner is nearly flat, so
the corpus meshes had scaled Jacobians down to 0.01-0.07. The objective
is now the smaller of the dihedral sine and the scaled Jacobian at the
worst corner (the measure analysts check, Knupp 2001), weighted so a
Jacobian of 0.3 (the skill's limit) counts as a 30 degree dihedral
angle (the schedule's target): the Jacobian decides only near that
limit. The existing edge removal, multi-face removal, smoothing and
insertion then remove the needles.
Skill tet10 min SJ: sphere-on-plate 0.092 -> 0.335, filleted-bracket
0.021 -> 0.318 (both pass, nothing marked). Default-size tet10:
thin-ribs 0.240, shallow-groove 0.321, rounded-box 0.311.
The strong-relaxation test relaxes below 0.45: nothing is left below
0.3. Literature note in docs/meshing/literature.md.

Where a tie's secondary surface meets a boundary condition or an
axis-aligned symmetry plane (a crosspoint), the secondary node's motion
is already prescribed and its mortar row can only constrain main
degrees of freedom. Its weights on main nodes off the boundary do not
vanish (the dual basis spreads over the node's faces), so after the
substitutions a small but real constraint is left: 1.3e-6 of the
coefficients that cancelled to give it on the tied hex-tet bar with
the needle-aware tet mesh (round-off would be ~1e-14; the geometry is
exact). It was refused as a near repeat, which made the tied bar
depend on how the tet faces fell. It is now dropped (the tie is then
off by that fraction at the crosspoint), after checking it does not
contradict the prescribed values. A near repeat on a secondary degree
of freedom another constraint eliminated (a node secondary in two
ties) is still refused (#389). Dropping every held secondary node's
row instead fails the tie patch test, so only near repeats go.

RUSTSEC-2026-0367/0368/0369 are in ZipArchive::extract and
ZipStreamReader::extract. Our zip 9 is updated to the fixed 9.0.4. zip 3
comes only through the pinned solidcraft-io, which never calls extract
(3MF parts are read by name), so the three are ignored with that reason
until SolidCraft moves to a fixed zip.

Owner's rule (#438): move the bad nodes, interpolate, keep the morph as long as no
element inverts (guards "valid", the default); the old guards stay as "strict". The
run keeps its best round (highest smallest scaled Jacobian, then fewest elements below
the threshold, then highest mean) and never ends below the start. Default reach five
mean edge lengths of the bad elements (was three); on the Pi 5 base reach 3, 5 and 7
end at the same quality, 5 moving fewer nodes than 7 while leaving none below 0.7.

Deleting a cap tetrahedron (two boundary faces of one B-rep face) gives each of its
two other neighbours a boundary face; a neighbour that had three was left with every
face on the boundary, joined to the mesh by its vertices alone. On Linux the dome on
a plate (cmd::plan::decompose::tests::a_dome_on_a_plate...) got one and the static
solve found the stiffness singular. The kernel's tessellation and sphere parameters
differ in their last bits between macOS and Linux (SolidCraft, outside this repo);
given the same input the tet mesher gives the same mesh on both (checked by replaying
Linux's surface and spheres on macOS, which reproduced the floating tetrahedron).
The deletion now refuses when a neighbour would float, and the linear validity gate
fails a mesh with a tetrahedron that shares no face with the rest, saying so.

In the max-min phase a valid element's term q^-16 reached 1e96 as q -> 0+, far above
an invalid element's 2e8, so the descent kept elements inverted rather than pass
through flat: the distorted plate stayed tangled (4 invalid) once its mesh was the
same on every platform. The shape term now continues as its tangent line below
q = 0.3 (finite, steep) and an invalid element costs 1e11, above any valid one.
Adds a test that the plate's mesh, its perturbation and the strong relaxation are
the same bits with 1 and 4 threads and match a fingerprint taken on macOS (CI checks
it on Linux).

The system maths library's sin, cos, atan2, log … are not correctly rounded and differ
between platforms: mesh.hex.generate gave the plate of the strong-relax test a different
mesh on Linux than on macOS (nodes from 2809 on), so the test passed on a Mac and failed
in CI. Every transcendental call in fieldcraft-mesh now goes through the libm crate (a
pure-Rust port of musl's), which gives the same bits everywhere.

Suppresses the SolidCraft features named (holes filled, fillets and chamfers back to
their sharp edges, bosses removed) and rebuilds the design; a feature that cannot be
suppressed alone is merged into its neighbour for meshing only. Kept in the model,

SolidCraft lists a solid's faces in a different order from run to run
(the rounded box, for one), which reordered the triangle soup and the
face tags with every coordinate the same; welding keeps the first copy
it meets and every later stage visits ids in order, so the tet mesh
changed between runs. CanonicalSoup sorts the triangles by their
coordinates, numbers vertices by first use and face tags by first
appearance, and maps the tags back; mesh.tet.generate and the corpus
use it.
Tests: the washer's tet10 mesh has a fixed fingerprint (identical on
arm64 and x86-64 builds); a reordered, renumbered input gives the same
mesh; heavy: rounded-box and filleted-bracket mesh bit for bit the same
on repeated runs and with 1 and 8 threads.
The bracket oracle cases stay unfrozen: SolidCraft's tessellation
itself differs in the last bits between arm64 and x86-64. The coarse
case moves to 203.6 MPa with the canonical order; its band is 5%.

The platform maths libraries' atan2 and cbrt differ in the last bits
between macOS and glibc, so the dihedral angles and the shape measure a
mesh reports did too. The crate's own versions use + - * / and sqrt
only (correctly rounded everywhere) and agree with the platform's to a
few ulps.

The thinnest wall (measured to a facing wall) and narrowest patch give the cell size the grid
needs; the requested size refined that deep comes first, a root shrunk so one level fewer is
exact second; beyond the levels or cells allowed meshing fails at once naming the wall, levels and
cells. max_depth is a cap (default 4); rebuilds stay within the planned levels; lattice positions
no longer depend on the lattice depth; the report gives root size, levels, wall, patch and cells
per level before and after closure.

A crease inside one face whose ends are not on other features (a tessellation crease across the

A merged face on several surfaces (a sliver absorbed into its neighbour)
had no exact surface, so the projection target fell back to its
triangles: flat curvature probes gave fewer divisions round the boss and
the enclosure base's symmetric mesh dropped from 0.70 to 0.51 once its
absorbs reached the cells. The target now projects a point of such a
face onto the exact surface of the B-rep piece it is on, trimmed to that
piece (Tessellation::with_pieces, Shape::tessellate_pieces); node
relaxation slides on it the same way.
Test from commands: the enclosure base's four slivers absorbed, meshed
whole and by symmetry, the absorbs kept in every cell.

A merge on `Base` failed with "no body `Base`" as soon as partitions cut
the body into cells (mesh.plan.apply's symmetry and corner cuts), so the
plan's cells and the body as opened silently lost every absorb and merge.
Each cell now takes the merge where the pieces of its faces touch (named
after the face kept, else merge:<name>[#k]), and the body as opened keeps
its merges whether partitions cut it or not.

decomposition: the cuts that box those features into one cell, the region,
and the commands that make the cuts and mesh the cells with pyramids. A plate
with a joined dome: 5 cuts, 17 hex cells swept together, the dome cell tet,

With "transition": "pyramid" (the default; "tie" keeps the old join) a tet
cell is meshed after the hex cells, with a pyramid on every hex face of its
cuts and its tetrahedra on the pyramids' sides: one conforming mesh, no tie.
Where it cannot be built the cell says why (no_pyramids) and is tied. The
apex height is 0.4 of the quad's edge, so pyramids on faces meeting at a
right angle do not cross.

The extrude/revolve cross-section took both ends of every B-rep edge as curve ends. A closed
edge without a vertex on it (a hole's rim after geometry.faces.merge of its halves) starts
wherever its chain was picked up, the old seam vertex, so that point stayed a curve end and a
node column stayed on the merged boundary. Only open edges' ends (and the B-rep vertices) are
curve ends now; the layout and interval assignment place the rim's nodes.
The hex test runs on a square plate and asserts the seams carry exactly as many nodes as the
same lines turned a quarter round the hole (10 and 10; before 5 and 10): the corner layout
puts arc-midpoint nodes there by symmetry, so 0 is not the right target.
