A Sides field kind: element faces or edges typed as element:side with
ranges (1-20:3, 25:1), no row cap, and Use selection for picked faces.
Set and mesh-tag forms use it instead of a JSON box (#449).

Four field kinds in the schema, each checked and described in JSON Schema: labels (nodes or
elements, typed as 1-5, 8 with Use selection taking the viewport's picks), points (rows of
x, y, z, added and removed), multi (checkboxes: coupling DOFs, step output) and number or
auto (the deformed scale). Node and element lists, probe and Delaunay points and block
corners use them; the remaining JSON fields hold geometry-specific shapes.

- 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).

- 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.

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.

Every problem reads with the field's label ("Material: choose a material")
beside its field, once it was edited or OK was tried; a click on the greyed
OK shows them all, and its tooltip lists them. A parameter the command
refuses shows beside its field, by its label, in the form and status bar.

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
selects the seeded edge. The Seed Edges form takes the selected edges with
Use selection. The toolbar entry is ready (its icon renamed with it).
Part of #230.

A reference field (a material, set, step…) with no items was a free-text box; it is now a greyed
drop-down ("No materials yet") with a button that opens the command making one (the
collection's requirement provider). That form comes back to this one on OK, with the new item
picked, or as it was on Cancel. A required reference with one candidate, or with the browser's
selection of its kind, starts picked when the form opens, so the fields and the JSON view agree.

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.

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.

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.

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.

* 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.

offscreen captures without fade-in, ui.start runs in-window file actions (samples, recover,
solve) but never a native picker, ui.select. Control protocol, architecture, ROADMAP, AGENTS

* 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.
