The distance and the target follow from the eight corners' exact
projections, for orthographic and perspective cameras and any direction of
view, so a long beam seen side on fills the width instead of a sphere
around it the height (#147). The free part is given as fractions of the
view, so overlays can be left out (#76); a margin is kept on each side.
Camera::fit is fit_in over the whole of a square view, and the headless
renderer fits to the picture's aspect.

glyphs::Glyphs picks where a model's setup symbols go (resolving its sets
once, thinning them on a grid, capping each definition and sampling large
ones with a note) and draws them into a Scene at the nodes' current
positions: cones for constrained translations (and rotations where nodes
rotate), arrows for forces, double-headed arrows for moments, arrows normal
to pressure faces, one arrow for gravity and body forces, a curved arrow for
centrifugal loads, crosses with names for reference points, lines for
couplings, hatched squares for rigid walls. Colours come from the caller by
role, muted over results.
Scene gains labels, drawn by the CPU rasterizer with a small bitmap font of
its own.

* render: display data from the FE model, orbit camera and CPU rasterizer
modelcraft-render (L1, no GPU): DisplayMesh (the unshared faces of solid
elements, shells, element edges, line elements, nodes), the orbit camera
and a CPU rasterizer with PNG output for headless snapshots, adapted from
SolidCraft's render crate. Workspace: egui/eframe/egui-wgpu 0.36 and
SolidCraft's patched egui-wgpu from the pinned rev.

* Desktop app: egui/wgpu viewport, model tree, commands, status bar, control channel
modelcraft-ui-egui (L5): ModelApp over the engine Session; GPU viewport
(lit faces, element edges, nodes) with a CPU fallback; orbit/pan/zoom,
standard views and fit; model tree; commands panel generated from the
registry with a JSON parameter form; status bar; control request
handling (engine.*, ui.*, ui.screenshot, ui.render). apps/modelcraft:
eframe window, --sample, --control PORT loopback JSON-lines server.
Adapted from SolidCraft's ui-egui and app.

* render: simplify the display mesh (sorted face keys over maps, no unused fields)
Interior faces are found by sorting fixed-size face keys instead of a BTreeMap of Vecs, edges
are deduplicated by sort, and each element's corners are looked up once. Drops the unused
`element` fields on DisplayTri/DisplayLine, the unused Mat4::IDENTITY and corner_count, and
hoists the line colour out of the raster loop.

* 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.
