0e97f8dd1d Results display (M4) and offscreen full-UI capture (#28)
* ui.capture: the whole window drawn offscreen and rasterised on the CPU

ui.screenshot falls back to it when no frame is presented (hidden window,
locked screen), so agents can look at panels and the toolbar.

* Draw the open design and imported surfaces in the viewport

DisplayMesh keeps node labels on every element primitive (for results),
gains add_surface (geometry faces and their boundaries, coincident points
welded) and displaced (elements moved by nodal offsets). Bodies are
tessellated at a thousandth of their size; meshed models show the geometry
as boundaries only.

* 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.

* 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.

Features

Generated from the capability catalogue (crates/engine/src/catalogue.rs) by cargo run -p modelcraft-cli -- features > docs/features.md; a test fails when it is out of date. Every entry is a toolbar button. Ready entries run their command; coming soon entries are shown greyed with the roadmap milestone that brings them (ROADMAP.md).

42 ready, 58 coming soon.
