jyvikoandClaude Opus 5.5 d5bd74570f Rename the project to FieldCraft
Crates fieldcraft-*, binaries fieldcraft and fieldcraft-cli, the .fieldcraft file (format tag
fieldcraft/1, manifest fieldcraft.json), FIELDCRAFT_* environment variables, the MCP server
name, egui widget ids (fc_*), the app icon document FieldCraft.icon and its generated family,
docs and licences. No compatibility shim: no files of the earlier name exist.

Demo video

make.py regenerates the README's demo, docs/media/ibeam-analysis.mp4 and docs/media/ibeam-analysis.gif: an agent analyses an I-beam cantilever over MCP while the desktop app shows each step.

python3 tools/demo-video/make.py                  # build, run, encode into docs/media
python3 tools/demo-video/make.py --no-build       # with the release binaries already built
python3 tools/demo-video/make.py --frames /tmp/f  # also keep the captured pictures

Needs Python 3 (standard library only), a display for the app window (the pictures are drawn offscreen, so a locked screen is fine) and ffmpeg with libx264 on the PATH (or FFMPEG). It honours CARGO_TARGET_DIR.

What it does:

  1. Builds fieldcraft, fieldcraft-cli and the testkit's corpus tool (release).
  2. Writes the corpus I-beam (tests/corpus/i-beam) as a .solidcraft design to a temporary folder with corpus --part i-beam --design.
  3. Starts the app with --control PORT and fieldcraft-cli mcp --connect 127.0.0.1:PORT, and speaks MCP (JSON-RPC over stdio) to it. Every step is an MCP tool call: open the design, mesh (hex_sweep, 4 mm), batch (steel, a solid section, the root clamp, a kinematic coupling of the free end to a reference point loaded with 1000 N), check_model, solve (static), and show_results for the von Mises contours and the deformed shape, its scale stepped from 1 to 150 and back. Every picture is the MCP screenshot tool with source: window (the whole window drawn offscreen, ui.capture), turned to the iso or right view by its view argument.
  4. Encodes the pictures at 10 frames per second, each held for its stage, into the MP4 (H.264, 1280 px) and the GIF (960 px, its own palette), and prints the tip deflection and the peak von Mises stress.

The theme is the app's default (dark). Beam theory for the same beam gives a tip deflection of 0.143 mm in bending plus about 0.034 mm in shear (0.177 mm) and a root bending stress of 45 MPa; the clamped root adds a local peak above that.
