jyvikoandClaude Opus 5.5 c0cbcadf3d ui: Mesh Quality shows counts, a histogram per metric and the worst elements (#113)
The context panel reads mesh.quality's reply as the counts (an area only for a surface mesh),
each metric's min, mean and max over its histogram (the bad end warm), and its worst element: a
click selects and frames it. Invalid and undetermined elements have a button that selects
and frames them.

jyvikoandClaude Opus 5.5 0625125ed7 ui: File › New starts an empty model (file.new, #144); an unknown sample name opens the samples (#200)
file.new replaces the session with an empty one: no design, mesh, definitions, results or
journal, nothing to save, the undo history empty. The File menu and Cmd/Ctrl+N run it, asking
first over unsaved changes. A sample name the app does not know (a typo, an old ?sample= link)
opens the samples to choose from, and the status names it.

jyvikoandClaude Opus 5.5 7a078b1c04 ui: results show units, clean numbers, extremes, reaction sums and a solve summary
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)

jyvikoandClaude Opus 5.5 a09e3c856b ui: pick vertices, points and cells from the viewport
- 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).

jyvikoandClaude Opus 5.5 4ee855bb27 ui: jobs with progress, refusals listed, datum preview, form filters and defaults
- 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).

- describe.rs: a definition's fields in its form's labels and units (sets by
  members and what they resolve to), for the context panel.
- reply::done: status lines that say what changed ("Showing Load deformed",
  "Mode 2: 1637 Hz", "Added material Al").
- The context panel puts the form and the selection above reports; opening
  another document clears both; what a form makes is selected.
- Use selection reuses a set with the same members, otherwise names one made
  on OK; Cancel leaves the model unchanged. The Target's set row is labelled.
- The browser's state marks sit in one column at its left edge; a right click
  selects the row its menu acts on.

jyvikoandClaude Opus 5.5 93b2ae343c Web: offer Reload to update when a new deployment is out (#231)
Every half hour the page fetches its own address past the browser's cache; when it loads
another content-hashed build of the app than the running one, the status bar offers "Reload
to update" (the page's unsaved-changes question still guards the reload). Rust only, no
service worker: the browser build has no other update path and none of the desktop's
download code.

jyvikoandClaude Opus 5.5 2e28a69c04 UI: update notice, Help › Check for Updates and Reinstall, Settings › Updates (#231)
The window checks at start-up at most once a day when automatic checks are on (Settings and
the first run's question), never while that question is open and never without a host, so the
browser and tests make no network call. A newer release shows a quiet notice in the status bar
("FieldCraft X is available — What's new · Install · Skip"); Install downloads and verifies
through the host, then asks to restart, saving or asking about unsaved changes first, and the
host swaps the release in after the window closes. A .deb/.rpm install offers the system's
installer and the command instead. Skip this version is kept in the preferences.

The first run asks whether to share anonymous usage (only when the host

so), and cancelled forms and clicks on commands that cannot run yet are
recorded. The preferences go through a PrefsStore (a file, or the
browser's storage). Control channel: ui.settings, ui.prompt answers.

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.

jyvikoandClaude Opus 5.5 e06c85eb9e App: crash reports and a log file; Help › Report a Bug (#107)
The desktop app installs the crash reporter and a log file at start
(both in a temporary folder in --control and CI runs, #266), journals
the window's commands (background jobs included) and every control
request's method, and ends the journal on a clean exit. A start after a
crash asks: "FieldCraft closed unexpectedly", Report It… or Not Now.

Help › Report a Bug (also Tools › Help and ui.start
diagnostics.bug_report) shows exactly what the GitHub bug form will be
filled with: the version, the OS, the last error, and for a crash where
it happened. Share my session adds the replayable commands, Include the
model file the model. Open GitHub Issue opens the form in the browser
through the system's opener; files to attach are saved to
bug-reports/<time>/ and a long session goes on the clipboard. Nothing is
sent without that click and the user's submit on GitHub.

The control channel answers the new prompts (crashed: report, close;
report_bug: set, close) and ui.inspect shows the draft; it never opens
the browser.

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.

jyvikoandClaude Opus 5.5 52c12e2ad7 Setup symbols: wireframe glyphs per held degree of freedom, a constant size on screen
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.

jyvikoandClaude Opus 5.5 1fcc7acf84 render: lines drawn on top, any number of overlay layers, length per pixel
A scene's `on_top` lines are drawn after every depth-tested layer, over the
model, so a concentrated load at a point inside the part can be seen from any
side (#78). `render_layers` takes a list of overlays (the setup's symbols and
the selection highlight become separate layers), and draws every layer's
labels. `Camera::length_per_pixel` is the model length a pixel spans at the
target: the scale symbols of a fixed screen size are drawn at.

jyvikoandClaude Opus 5.5 3aab588b8b Navigation: orbit about the point under the cursor, zoom toward it, presets in the display menu
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.

Fixes #262, fixes #273.

selection of its kind, starts picked when the form opens, so the fields and the JSON view agree.

jyvikoandClaude Opus 5.5 a84a8339ae UI: command replies read as one line, the whole reply in the context panel
Commands run from the UI whose reply had no `summary` printed their raw
JSON into the status bar (Check Model, Step Table, Model Info, Bodies,
Find Contacts, the solve steps...). The status bar now gets one sentence
for every reply, and a reply with more to it opens in the context panel:
Check Model as its diagnostics with severity marks and a button to each
fix, the Step Table as a grid of loads and BCs against steps, any other
reply as labelled rows and tables. Check Model and the Step Table follow
the model as it changes. Programmatic replies stay JSON.

Datum planes draw as a hatched square around the model, axes as a line through

jyvikoandClaude Opus 5.5 e0d5adba23 Engine: each command lists what it needs, and execute checks it first
CommandSpec gains `requires: &[Requirement]` (crates/engine/src/requirement.rs): an open
design, geometry, nodes, a mesh, something to analyse, materials and sections for the
elements, sets, the definition an edit or delete acts on, a step, a result. Session::execute
checks them before running, so a command missing one fails at once with no partial work,
naming each missing piece and the toolbar entry that provides it ("Needs a material —
Properties › Material"). Requirements are real prerequisites (the model's own reference
checks and model.check's rules), never a workflow order. engine.commands / list_commands
list them.

jyvikoandClaude Opus 5.5 217628ead4 ui: command forms drawn from the parameter schema
The context panel's form shows typed fields instead of the JSON text: numbers
with the model's units, drop-downs of choices and of the model's sets,
materials, steps and bodies, checkboxes, vectors, groups and one-of variants
(a load's type switches its fields), lists of rows. Defaults are filled in,
required fields are marked, a value the schema finds wrong is noted under its
field, and OK waits while a field holds text that is not a value. The JSON
text stays as the Advanced view. fields.rs holds the generic widgets (row,
number, drop-down, text), adapted from SolidCraft's dialog rows.

Quality from the ribbon printed its whole JSON report into the status

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

jyvikoandClaude Opus 5.5 e4e3c9a699 ui: mesh in the background from the mesher forms
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.

jyvikoandClaude Opus 5.5 9e269a9f45 ui-egui: select faces, edges, vertices, bodies, nodes and elements by picking
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.

jyvikoandClaude Opus 5.5 5665cc3d8c ui: the viewport draws the analysis setup's symbols, with toggles
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.

jyvikoandClaude Opus 5.5 34200013a4 The ribbon follows each command to its stage
A command run by a script, the control channel, MCP, the command search
or the browser left the ribbon on whatever tab it showed, so an agent's
session never showed the stage it was at. `catalogue::stage_tab` is the
rule, from the catalogue: a command's entry tab, none for the Tools tab
(files, history, the model summary). The app follows it after a command
that changed the model or the results display (queries leave the ribbon
alone); a script follows its last command with a stage. A ribbon click
runs a command of the tab shown, so it never moves the ribbon: a test
checks every entry and drop-down command against its tab.

bf325bb234 Craft-family shell, native file dialogs, samples and one-click Solve (#46)
* Native file pickers, background opening, drag and drop and recent files

Open (models, SolidCraft designs and tagged meshes in one picker), Save, Save As, Write
Deck and Recover go through the host's file pickers (rfd in the desktop app, injected as
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.

* Samples and one-click Solve: results reachable from the window

file.sample {name} opens a ready-to-run sample (the two parts, the cantilever with static and
frequency steps, the bar impact) in place of the model; solve.run solves every step in order.
Help > Samples, the empty viewport's start screen and the Tools > Samples entry open them
(asking first over unsaved changes); Solve runs in the background like a file opening and the
Results tab comes up. --sample [parts|cantilever|impact] on the command line.

* 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.

legend sized to its text, two-line panel labels inside the ribbon, glyphs the UI font has,

solve) but never a native picker, ui.select. Control protocol, architecture, ROADMAP, AGENTS
and ATTRIBUTION updated; THIRD-PARTY-LICENSES.txt with craft-ui and rfd.

* Title bar mark from the application icon; fluid steps and domains in the shell

The title bar draws the app icon's bracket (assets/app-icon/icon-small.svg's faces) as
SolidCraft draws its mark; the window keeps its title-bar flags after the rebase.
solve.run solves fluid steps too (solve.fluid); the browser lists fluid domains.

* 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.

* Title bar: Solve and tools at the right end; no traffic-light inset in full screen

The owner's feedback on the title bar: Solve, search, theme and help sit at its right end
before the version; on macOS the left group (mark, name, quick actions) moves into the
traffic lights' room in full screen, where there are none, and back when leaving it. The
layout is a pure function (bar_layout) tested for both states, narrow windows and custom
caption buttons. ui.fullscreen {on} for agents.

* 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.
