results.contour takes range {min?, max?} (or "auto"), kept until the field changes: a
singular peak no longer squeezes the field into the bottom bands. Values above a clamped
maximum go to an extra band drawn in the over colour, split exactly at the clamp; the legend
shows that band up to the true maximum and says it is clamped. The results panel has Legend
max/min (Auto or a value), the MCP show_results tool a range argument, and headless pictures
follow the clamp too.

The README video's model as a sample: the corpus cantilever-i-beam design opened as geometry,
swept all-hex, clamped at F2:start, 1 kN on F2:top through a kinematic coupling; static step
Load. It has a Start-card thumbnail and a gallery capture; a test checks its tip deflection
against beam theory with shear.

One formatter (four significant digits, thousands separators, round-off as
0) and the model's units through every results readout:
- legend title with its unit, a mode shape normalised; Max/Min with units,
clickable to show and probe the node; markers at both in the viewport
(#321, #330)
- the deformation scale field shows the scale Deformed would use, never 0,
in the shared format; true scale named (#325, #326)
- setup symbols off over results by default (Show › Loads & BCs), and then
only the shown step's (#327)
- reaction sums in the results panel however they are run: per set and in
all, force and moment with units, applied beside reacted (#328)
- the probe: U [mm], |U|, Mises, stresses and principals with units, the
label kept inside the viewport, rows in the results panel (#329)
- hiding the mesh over a plot hides the element edges, not the contours
(#317); a hidden body's contours go with it, the range follows what is
shown (#365)
- the solve summary: peaks with units, n/a rows left out, counts grouped,
internals under Details (#321, #319)
- the energies plot: axes with units, a cursor at the frame (click or drag
to move it), hover to read (#331)

shows the step, stage, count and elapsed time with a bar when bounded, OK
waits while it runs, and the status sums it up (elements, smallest angle,
time) (#322, #357).
- Over the control channel such a command is a job too: answered when it
ends however long it runs, or at once with wait: false, then job.status,
job.wait, job.cancel; ui.inspect gives job; MCP waits for it (#367).
- A command that cannot run yet lists what it misses in the context panel,
each with a button to the command that provides it (#323).
- A cancelled or refused solve stays in its workspace (#324, test).
- A mesher form starts from the parameters of the mesh it would replace (#343).
- Seed Edges and edge/vertex/face datum points switch the selection filter
while open and restore it (#341).
- Datum forms draw the datum live, the Partition form shows its datum, and
new datums and partitions get the next free name (#347).

Delaunay refinement split a boundary face edge at its midpoint even when that
midpoint lay inside the diametral sphere of a feature edge beside it. Each such
split halves the face vertices' distance to the curve, so they piled up against
it (the heated bracket grew face vertices 0.016 mm from a 4 mm-sized edge), the
improvement schedule could not lift the tetrahedra there to its target, and
inserted vertex after vertex around them: 29257 elements and about two minutes
to open instead of 23641 and 6 s. The SolidCraft pin move (4c91f9b) added one
interior vertex to the bracket's end faces, which changed the CDT enough to
expose it.
Following Shewchuk (1998), an encroaching midpoint now splits the encroached
feature edge instead.

A region of an extrusion's (or revolution's) cross-section that no
structured scheme fits is now cut by straight lines into blocks that fit,
before interval assignment, so the cuts are curves of the arrangement and
their counts are assigned with the rest; nothing reaches the model
(hex::decompose, after Tam and Armstrong's medial-axis subdivision and Li,
Armstrong and McKeag's primitives).
Per region: several holes are separated by lines across the gaps between
neighbouring holes; a piece with one hole gets the O-grid layout whose
pieces score best (lines from the outer corners towards the hole or along
their bisectors, from the hole's corners, or along four directions from
the hole); pieces without holes are cut by a two-ply search over lines
from concave corners and fillets and from convex corners. Candidates are
scored by meshing the pieces with their schemes (smallest corner scaled
Jacobian). A region's blocks are kept when fair (at least 0.5) or no worse
than its free mesh, and cuts never end inside a seeded curve.
This replaces the cuts from reflex corners along an edge. Tests on an L,
a T, a plate with a hole, with a slot and with three holes, and the half
crank's cross-section: every region structured, the quads conforming and
the smallest corner scaled Jacobian bounded. The half crank arm now
extrudes in 12 structured regions with a hex20 minimum scaled Jacobian of
0.37 (the arm meeting the bosses 20 degrees off tangent bounds it) where
it had 2 free regions and 0.009.

crash: a panic hook and a locked per-run command journal (adapted from
SolidCraft's crash reports). A panic in a command becomes a report with
the model from before it and the command; one outside commands, or an
unclean exit found at the next start (abort, segfault, a crash in a
graphics driver, a kill: what #248 needs), a report with the model the
journal starts from (autosave, file or a copy) and the commands since,
the last control request and the dead run's log lines. Reports are
bounded, deduplicated by signature and replayable (crash::replay, with
writes confined to a scratch folder). The crash folder follows the
automation temp area in --control and CI runs.
logfile: a small size-rotated file logger behind the log facade.
bug_report: GitHub bug-form drafts. Version, OS and what happened by
default, home folder shown as ~; the command journal only with Share my
session, the model only with Include the model as well; a session too
long for the link becomes a file to attach and the clipboard text.
Commands: diagnostics.crash_reports, diagnostics.crash_report,
diagnostics.bug_report (Tools › Help, with its icon) and
diagnostics.crash_test (FIELDCRAFT_CRASH_TEST=1 only).

crank-arm (and crank-mirror, kept as the same model under the name of
its mirror workflow) now cut the crank on its symmetry plane and the
half into seven cells: across the arm at x = 30, 60, 110 and 148, and on
two diagonals radial to the pocket's corner fillets. Every cell's
cross-section maps (four-sided blocks, the half O-grids round the bores,
triangle primitives at the pocket's corners); exact edge seeds give each
cut the same divisions on both sides, so mesh.cells merges all six cuts
and mesh.mirror reflects the half: 7 710 hex20, scaled Jacobian min 0.37
(was 0.17, and 0.009 for the swept mirrored half), edge ratio at most
7.0. Root σxx ±62.43 MPa against M/Z 62.6 MPa, the spindle carries the
1500 N. The test asserts the quality floor. Gallery images regenerated.

A cross-section region with three corners (a fillet's quarter disk, a
pocket corner cut off by a partition) was left to the free all-quad
mesher. It now gets midpoint subdivision's triangle primitive (Tam and
Armstrong 1991; Li, Armstrong, McKeag 1997): lines from a centre to a
node on each side split it into three mapped blocks, the interior then
smoothed and every quadrilateral checked (a fold falls back to free).
Interval assignment gains dominance constraints (a side shorter than
the other two together) so the split always exists.

Boundary condition, load and interaction symbols are wireframes (thin lines,
no shaded cones), so they never hide the mesh or a contour plot:
- a crossed wire triangle per constrained translation, tip on the node,
coming from outside the part where the set's faces say which side that is;
a held rotation adds a smaller triangle behind it (the double mark); fixed
shows all three axes, a symmetry plane only its normal;
- forces as open-headed arrows ending on the node, as long as four support
units at one place and 2.5 over a set, so loads and supports stay in
proportion (#78); moments as an axis line and a right-handed curved arrow
(#79); contact and tie surfaces as small squares on their faces;
- a constant size on screen at any zoom (#80): the symbol unit is the size
setting (View > Symbol size, `ui.set {symbol_size}`, 14 pt by default)
times the model length a pixel spans, rounded to a quarter of a doubling;
- spread evenly on a grid a few symbol units across, so their density follows
the screen, never more than 400 per definition;
- a layer of their own on the desktop (GPU and CPU): zooming rebuilds and
uploads the symbols only, never the mesh's scene; framing leaves them out;
- colour per kind from the theme's tokens (a new contact colour), and the
definition selected in the browser drawn in the selection colour, wider;
- depth-tested against the model with the line bias that keeps them on their
own surface; a load at a reference point or a single node and a reference
point's cross are drawn over the part (#78).
Headless pictures (MCP screenshot, `ui.render`) frame the camera first and
draw the symbols at the default size for it.

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.
