Faces and bodies under a size control are tinted, a box drawn as its
edges and a sphere as a translucent ball, each labelled with its name
and size. The Local Size form takes the selected faces.

engine::view::build (Style, Show, Palette) is the viewport's builder,
moved from ui-egui; ui-egui maps theme::Tokens onto a Palette and calls
it. Palette::LIGHT now equals the light theme's tokens. Test: the app's
scene and engine::view::frame's are identical for the same session.

- Select: Vertices picks the design's B-rep vertices (meshed or not), and
a selected vertex is marked (#346).
- Use selection on Datum Point (vertex, edge, face, or a hole's centre)
and Reference Point (geometry.centre: a hole's centre, a vertex, nodes)
(#346, #351).
- Partitioned Mesh: Use selection takes the picked bodies as cells; the
cell list has All, None and Invert; hovering a cell's row (or its method
row) highlights the cell in the viewport (#344).
- Rigid Wall's form takes its set from the selection; the Interactions
branch lists the explicit steps' rigid walls, each opening its step
(#350).

- A solve or a mesher runs as a job with one progress mechanism: the overlay
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).

A datum plane is drawn as the model's extent within it (where it cuts the
model's box, in the plane's axes) plus a 5 % margin, a datum axis along the
model's extent plus the margin, instead of squares 1.2 diagonals wide.
Fit, Home, the standard views and headless pictures frame the model
without the datums (they stay inside the clipping radius). The datum
selected in the browser is drawn highlighted and on top, even when hidden.

Right-click on any browser item (body, surface, datum, partition, set,
material, section, step, boundary condition, load, reference point,
coupling, contact, fluid domain) opens its menu: Edit…, Hide/Show,
Isolate, Show All, Active in step (boundary conditions and loads) and
Delete…. A right click on a datum or a partition's cut face in the
viewport opens the same menu. Each item the viewport draws on its own
has an eye; hidden items are neither drawn nor picked. Datums and
partitions are selectable with properties. Delete… and the Delete key
ask first (the prompt lists what uses the item: a datum's partitions
are deleted with it, other definitions in use are refused); ui.prompt
answers it. Every entry runs the same command as the ribbon and forms.

view.hide, view.show, view.isolate and view.show_all change which
bodies, surfaces, datums, boundary conditions, loads, reference points
and couplings the viewport draws. The hidden items are view state: the
manifest's `view` keeps them, a change marks the model unsaved, but it
is neither journalled nor undone and leaves results current. Items that
go away are forgotten. Headless pictures leave hidden items out; the

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.

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 seed draws a tick at each node it puts on its edge, so a bias shows as ticks
crowding toward an end. The browser lists the seeds under Mesh; a click

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.

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.

Open (models, SolidCraft designs and tagged meshes in one picker), Save, Save As, Write

Services so the UI crate stays portable and tests answer them). Files open on a copy of the
session in a worker thread and replace it only on success; files dropped on the window or
named on the command line open the same way. A recent-files list, an unsaved-changes prompt,
Cmd/Ctrl+O/S/Shift+S. Programmatic calls never open a picker: ui.start opens the form.

* The Craft-family shell: title bar, workspace ribbon, browser, context panel, timeline
The window now follows SolidCraft's and VectorCraft's layout and themes:
- title bar with the mark, quick actions (File menu, save, undo, redo, Solve, search,
theme, help), the model's document tab and the version; integrated under the macOS
traffic lights, own caption buttons and resize zones elsewhere (titlebar.rs);
- workspaces (Prepare, Model, Analysis, Results) with their tabs, and panels of icon
buttons whose labelled drop-downs list the whole catalogue, coming-soon entries greyed
with their milestone; panels collapse, then go into a » menu, when narrow;
- the browser: geometry and mesh with eye toggles, definitions with counts, results;
- no permanent Commands list: command search (S, Cmd/Ctrl+K) and a command line;
- the context panel on the right only with context: the command form, results controls,
the selected definition's properties with Edit and Delete;
- navigation bar and orientation gizmo in the viewport; the journal timeline at the bottom
with undo positions;
- SolidCraft's light and dark tokens; craft-ui (IconButton, Tab, WidgetPalette).
Menus and the search are view state (ui.set {menu, palette}), so captures show them.

* Simplify: cached per-frame data, one command per timeline roll, workspace setters
- Icon textures are kept per pixel size (the shell draws several sizes a frame; the cache
used to clear on every size change and rasterise again).
- Opening a model or recovering one starts from an empty session instead of copying the
current one; the replaced session is freed off the window thread.
- Element counts, timeline items, search results and the selected definition's properties
are cached until what they show changes; timeline tooltips are built on hover; long lists
in properties are summarised.
- edit.undo and edit.redo take a count: a timeline click is one command.
- solve.run dispatches on the step's procedure (no string round trip) and reports its name.
- The workspace and tab change together through UiState::select_tab/select_workspace
(ui.set {workspace} alone now sticks); no per-frame syncing.
- One busy guard, Kind::verbs, a fit flag for background jobs, ModelApp::home_view, the title
bar's actions as an enum, dead code removed.

* Caps labels in Inter SemiBold
egui has no bold weight of its default font, so the ribbon's tabs and panel labels, the
workspace switcher and its menu, menu headings, the browser header, the context panel's
headers and the Solve label were thin, especially in the light theme. They now use a label
font family: Inter SemiBold 4.1 (SIL OFL 1.1, unmodified, fonts/OFL.txt, ATTRIBUTION.md),
with egui's fonts as fallback, installed with the theme on the live and offscreen contexts.
theme::label_font falls back to the default font until the family is bound (fonts take
effect from the next pass), so nothing can panic. Panels widen to their label's longest word.

DisplayMesh keeps node labels on every element primitive (for results),

* 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.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01NmAttHhUZTokgPeEJia8sm
* 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.

Interior faces are found by sorting fixed-size face keys instead of a BTreeMap of Vecs, edges

* viewport: split GPU geometry into batches within the buffer limit; refuse oversized CPU renders
A mesh with a few million boundary triangles made one vertex buffer larger than the device's
max_buffer_size (256 MiB under the limits eframe requests), and wgpu's default error handler
panicked. Geometry is now uploaded in batches of whole primitives, each at most 128 MiB and the
device limit, and all are drawn. A device error handler logs errors and shows them in the status
bar instead of panicking.
The CPU renderer refuses sizes over 8192 per side or 16 MP, and scenes over 20 million
primitives, with an error, and allocates its buffers fallibly. ui.render reports a size out of
range instead of clamping it; the CPU viewport fits a large window into the limit.
