file.sample rubber-seal: a gasket ring of hybrid hex8 elements in four

and bounds the bonded ring's extra stiffness. The plates are prescribed
displacements until implicit contact (#161) can press it into a groove.

General contact, on a set's faces or every exterior face of the solids, is mortar contact
with one face list as both sides: each face against every other one that faces it, shares no
node with its element and is not reached through more than half an element, paired both
ways. Tested by a nearly incompressible Mooney-Rivlin C-ring (hybrid hex8) closing on itself
(no penetration beyond the mortar's weak enforcement, mirror symmetry to 1e-6) and, heavy, a
rubber bellows whose folds press on each other.

Each secondary node follows the main surface under it as the weighted average
u_A = sum_J (M_AJ / sum_K M_AK) u_J with M_AJ = int psi_A N_J over the reference overlaps and
psi the secondary faces' dual shape functions (Wohlmuth 2000), so the secondary mortar
matrix is diagonal; the rows join the couplings' constraint elimination in every implicit
analysis. Uncovered secondary nodes stay free with a warning; heat transfer and explicit
dynamics refuse ties by name. Tested by the tie patch test on non-matching hex8/tet4 meshes.

A return map at the closed secondary nodes on the mortar slip in its rate form (w_A = B_A dx,
B_A = [int Phi_A N_i P, -int Phi_A N_j P]): stick within mu p_A, slip back to the cone, static
coefficient for a node that stuck in the last increment and kinetic for one that slipped; the
friction does the virtual work t . B_A dx, so a slipping interface carries mu N exactly. The
tangent is symmetrised (stick and slip stiffness kept, the coupling to the pressure and the
change of B left out; the residual is exact). Tractions and slip states are committed with the
converged increment. After a chattering cutback, nodes open by less than 1e-3 of their
element's thickness keep their penalty in the tangent for the rest of the step. Results carry
the shear traction, the slip and stick/slip status.

Frictionless contact pairs enforced by an augmented Lagrangian: nodal pressures from the
mortar weighted gaps, Uzawa updates after each converged increment until the gaps are within
1e-5 of the element thickness, and the consistent tangent (outer products of the weighted
gap gradients and the pressure-weighted Hessians from the automatic differentiation of the
mortar integrals). Finite sliding searches and integrates on the current configuration every
evaluation; without nonlinear geometry the pairs and their mortar integrals are fixed in the
reference configuration (small sliding, linear and exact). The tangent's pattern takes the
face pairs' blocks; the step cuts back when the active set chatters. Initial overclosure is
offset or refused; general contact, 2D models and arc length are refused by name; the linear
analyses refuse contact by name instead of the mesh.
With contact the convergence force scale comes from the converged states, the loads and the
current state. The loads-and-reactions balance check takes the nodal reactions into its scale
(no spurious warning for a part squeezed between held faces).
Tests: the contact patch test on non-matching hex8/tet4 meshes (exact with small sliding,
to 1e-4 with finite sliding), Hertz cylinder on a flat (peak pressure within 3%, half-width
bracketed) with quadratic Newton convergence, overclosure, thread-count determinism and the
refusals; Hertz sphere on a flat (heavy).

An explicit step may ask for mass scaling to a target time increment (on
a set, or the whole model): elements whose stable increment is below it
get the density that reaches it, with their lumped masses, frequency
bound and hourglass scales; adiabatic heating keeps the physical
density. The run reports the elements scaled, the added mass in all and
per section with its fraction, a warning, and the added mass's kinetic
energy in the energy account. Verified on a uniform bar scaled to twice
its increment (added mass 3×, increment doubled, a quarter of the
kinetic energy left to the physical mass). ROADMAP and parity note the
hyperelastic materials and mass scaling.

Segment-to-segment penalty contact between element faces: each secondary
face and each main face facing it are projected onto the secondary face's
plane, split into triangles, clipped (Sutherland–Hodgman) and integrated
with a three-point rule per sub-triangle (Puso–Laursen segmentation, the
penalty at the integration points as Fischer–Wriggers), so a uniform
pressure gives the consistent nodal forces on both meshes and the contact
patch test passes on non-matching meshes. Every contact runs both ways at
half the penalty: pairs with each surface as the secondary, general and
self contact face against face. A bucket grid of face boxes every
increment, faces integrated in parallel and their forces added in face
order: the same numbers on any thread count.
The penalty per area ε = s γ min(m/A)/Δt² comes from the lumped masses,
each node's directional area and the stable increment, bounded by
Gershgorin's row sums so contact never shortens the increment. Coulomb
friction with exponential decay by a regularised return map at the
secondary nodes; rigid walls take Coulomb impulses. Contact work and
friction dissipation join the energy balance; each contact reports its
peak force, first and last contact, deepest penetration, friction and the
nodes adjusted at the start (initial penetrations adjusted strain-free or
refused with the node, face and depth); a cap on contact faces.
Verified (crates/explicit/tests/contact.rs, tests/oracle/explicit-*):
colliding bars (2L/c +1.2%, ρcAv₀/2, KE kept to 0.005%, contact energy
back to 8e-5 of it), blocks sliding to a stop on a rigid wall and on a
plate under constant and decaying friction (0.005–0.2%), the patch test
(σ_zz uniform to 0.06%), two spheres colliding against Hertz (peak +2.3%,
duration −0.4%; the oracle case waits for a graded sphere mesher), a free
body untouched by general contact, determinism across threads. Oracle
measures gain `over` (ratios). Existing fixtures do not move.

A tangent that is not positive definite is factored by LDLᵀ (Cholesky first, one symbolic
factorization) instead of cutting the increment back; each iteration records the tangent's
negative eigenvalues and the summary warns when a converged state keeps some. A model that can
move freely is still an error at its first tangent, located by the undeformed Cholesky factor;
a singular tangent later is a cutback. Nearly incompressible hybrid hex8, hex20 and tet10 at
ν = 0.4999 under prescribed displacement now converge to the closed form.

Dependabot opens one grouped pull request a week per ecosystem against
develop: compatible Cargo updates together (a breaking release on its
own) and every action together, keeping the SHA pins and their version
comments. The SolidCraft pins, the truck and egui-wgpu patches taken
from that commit and craft-ui's rev move by hand; egui and eframe take
patch releases only, since their line follows SolidCraft's.
CI skips same-repo pull requests, so Dependabot's would merge untested:
the gate, the oracle and the advisories now also run on pull requests
opened by dependabot[bot]. The heavy job stays off pull requests.

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

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.

through the same route a picked file takes (open_path: by type, in the

The Tet Mesh form opened with {} and failed with "give either body (with
tolerance) or surface", so a first-time user could not mesh a part
without knowing its body name and a chordal tolerance. The tet mesher
now takes its bodies as the hex meshers do: every body of the open
design by default, one named body, or an imported surface, with the
tessellation tolerance defaulting to 1e-3 of each body's diagonal. With
several bodies an error names the body it is about. The reply keeps its
totals (kind, counts, first labels, volumes) and lists each body's
counts, size and quality report under `bodies`.

The end-to-end demo met a raw-CDT sliver that the validity gate accepted (exactly positive) and
the solver refused. Now:
- One validity criterion, `fieldcraft_model::admissible_jacobian` (normalized Jacobian above
1e-12), used by the implicit solver (fem `positive_inverse`), the explicit tet4/hex8
kinematics and the mesh gate, which proves it on the whole element (tet4: the solvers' own
Jacobian; curved kinds: a Bernstein floor), so whatever passes the gate passes the solvers.
- CDT rounding repaired by flips on the rounded mesh (Diazzi et al. 2023 §5.1) instead of the
±2-ulp nudge.
- `fieldcraft-mesh::tet`: a mutable tetrahedral complex whose every change is a checked
replacement (positive and admissible tetrahedra, faces matched with opposite orientation) with
an exact undo log; edge removal (Klincsek), multi-face removal, Delaunay insertion with
boundary faces, edge collapse; a curvature- and thickness-graded size field; constrained
Delaunay refinement with encroachment splits; ODT smoothing; the Klingner–Shewchuk schedule;
boundary vertices moved onto the exact B-rep surfaces at the end; tet10 with mid-edge nodes on
the geometry.
- `mesh.tet.generate` gains size, order, quality, quality_target, curvature_angle, grading,
max_passes, max_points and reports the CDT's and the mesh's quality; `solve.probe` takes a set
and reports its largest von Mises stress.
- Oracle cases filleted-bracket-fillet-stress(-coarse): the fillet's peak von Mises stress on
tet10 meshes of 2k and 13.5k elements, 213.3 MPa (a four-level study stays within 1.8%); the
CDT cases keep the raw tetrahedralization.
- Corpus quality columns: all 20 valid parts mesh and pass the gate.

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).

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.

The pick module tests rays against triangles with the watertight
ray-triangle intersection of Woop, Benthin and Wald (JCGT 2013): a ray
through an edge or vertex two triangles share hits one of them, the
nearest hit wins and ties go to the lower index, so picks are
deterministic. A Projector holds the camera's projection for
screen-space picks (Camera::to_screen and the CPU renderer use it too),
and a DepthMap of the drawn faces, rasterised by the renderer's own
triangle routine, tells which points are in front (box selection).
Display triangles now carry their element and face number (numbered as
ElementKind::faces numbers them; seen_face gives a shell's bottom side
from behind), line elements their element, and geometry surface
triangles their face tag, so a hit names what a set refers to.
DisplayMesh::pick (results probing) uses the new test.
render_layers draws a second scene over the first: its faces over the
scene faces they repeat (a small depth allowance), then its lines and
points. The viewport draws selection and hover highlights with it
without rebuilding the model's scene.

`fieldcraft_mesh::octree::octree_hex_mesh` meshes any closed part with hex8 only:
- an adaptive 3-refinement grid (27-tree) with strong balance and closure, filled with
conforming node-marking transition templates (Schneiders; checked over all 48 symmetries);
- a core of grid cells kept clear of the boundary (the HybridOctree buffer rule), with
non-manifold cleanup and a genus check against the part;
- a feature graph from the B-rep (corners, curves, patches) and a partition-first map of the
core's boundary onto it, then two boundary layers: a padding layer and a pillow per patch,
so every face boundary and sharp edge is captured by element edges;
- a Garanzha-type untangling and fitting energy (shape term |J|^3/chi, a volume term and a
soft fitting term, deterministic across platforms), a compass search on the worst
elements and a certified repair; failures refine the grid near them and rebuild, within
bounded attempts and growth.
The output passes the certified Jacobian check of every element and a gate that the
boundary encloses the elements' volume; boundary quads carry their B-rep faces. Quality is
reported with the same scaled Jacobian as mesh.quality. Literature notes for each step are in
docs/meshing/literature.md (B1.6-B1.10).

Temperatures now strain the material in nonlinear steps instead of being
refused. At finite strain the deformation gradient splits multiplicatively,
F = F_m F_theta with F_theta = diag(1 + alpha_i dT) at each point: the material
sees F_m and the loops run on the thermally expanded volume J_theta dV0 (mixed
elements project det F_m), so the tangent stays consistent. At small strain the
split is additive, and elements on their linear stiffness take the equivalent
nodal forces as a dead load. The step's temperatures are its temperature loads,
or the steady conduction of its temperature conditions and heat loads (one-way
coupling, as the linear coupled step); both at once are refused. They ramp with
the load factor from each material's reference temperature. Johnson-Cook
plasticity softens at the point's temperature. Verified: free expansion and a
fully constrained neo-Hookean block at 20 % thermal stretch, full and hybrid
(exact); a bar held at its ends heated past yield (exact); the linear limit and
the conducted temperatures against the linear solvers; tangents by central
differences with a temperature field.

Two more large-strain options on the isotropic constants, decoupled like
neo-Hookean with the volume kappa/2 (J - 1)^2: Mooney-Rivlin with C10 = mu/2 - C01
(0 <= C01 <= mu/2) and Yeoh with C10 = mu/2 and the higher terms C20, C30, so the
small-strain material is the elastic one everywhere. MaterialModel::Polynomial
gives the isochoric stress and tangent from Holzapfel's fictitious quantities
(eqs. 6.168, 6.193), consistent by central differences, equal to neo-Hookean
with C10 alone; hybrid elements take it. Abaqus writes *HYPERELASTIC,
MOONEY-RIVLIN and YEOH; LS-DYNA keeps refusing hyperelastic materials in
nonlinear steps by name. Verified in uniaxial and equibiaxial tension and pure

laws), the Bauschinger effect of linear kinematic hardening on a load path

pressure within 2e-8; the pending case is now active) and a cantilever's

Elements of a plastic material take the J2 material point: total Lagrangian
with nonlinear geometry, the small-strain loops without (elastic elements keep
their linear stiffness, so elastic results do not move). The plastic history is
committed per converged increment. Increments follow the step's load path,
ending at its points, the extrapolated predictor scaled by the change of the
load factor. Steps with path-dependent materials start an increment without a
predictor from the tangent predictor (the prescribed motion spread through the
converged tangent), and a first tangent that is not positive definite is a
cutback when the undeformed model's is. Refused by name: the Johnson-Cook rate
term (a static step has no time) and kinematic hardening at finite strain;
damage, erosion and adiabatic heating are left out with a warning. Results
carry the equivalent plastic strain at the integration points (solve.probe,
the step summary). LS-DYNA writes a load path as the step's curve; Abaqus
refuses it and a plastic deck of several general steps (Abaqus carries the
plastic state between them).

The radial return of the explicit update is now J2::radial_return, called by
both solvers, with the consistent tangent J2::tangent (Simo & Hughes 1998,
Box 3.2). The new elastoplastic module gives the implicit material point:
Simo's multiplicative plasticity with the exponential return map in the
principal logarithmic strains (CMAME 99, 1992) and its spatial tangent through
the Daleckii-Krein divided differences of the logarithm, and the additive
radial return of small strain with kinematic hardening. MaterialModel::Plastic
carries it, decoupled (deviatoric return, Hencky volume) so hybrid elements
take it. The element loops of finite.rs gain small-strain kinematics for
inelastic materials and pass history through the mixed path. Every tangent is
checked against central differences, element by element, from a plastic
history.

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
