+  ([#616](https://github.com/bherbruck/solidcraft/issues/616)). MCP feature replies include
+  warnings.
+- **Opening a design** keeps the window draggable, shows progress, and can be cancelled with
+  Cancel or Esc.
+- **Under the hood:** compact MCP replies, a kernel-neutral native B-rep format, and an opt-in
+  preview from the native cache while a design rebuilds.
+- **Quality:** every ordinary action is run on every face, edge, vertex and body of the test
+  models; CI blocks regressions and the full matrix runs nightly.
+- **Security:** private vulnerability reporting is on; see
+  [SECURITY.md](https://github.com/bherbruck/solidcraft/blob/main/SECURITY.md).

+- A Hole on a sheet metal face is refused

+- Some fillets are still refused, such as along an outline of lines and arcs

 - Cutting a coaxial cylinder from a thin disc can lose a little volume
   ([#500](https://github.com/bherbruck/solidcraft/issues/500)); an edge flange with different
   per-edge angles leaves gaps at the corners
