- motion.plot: joint values and a point's path sampled as the study plays (closed loops
following), with velocities and accelerations by finite differences, per step or per
second with a duration.
- motion.interference: the pairs of parts that pass through each other along a study, with
the first step, the step ranges, the depth and the shared volume; occurrences, against
or contact sets choose the pairs; bounded samples and work.
- Motion Study dialog: a Study box opens a saved study; a chart of a joint value or a
picked point with a cursor at the step shown (click to move there); Check collisions
with the steps shaded on the chart. ui.start motion.study takes study.
Motion links can carry a coupling (gear pair, rack and pinion, screw) whose ratio follows radii, picked round faces or pitch. Design format 23.

component.insert_design (a saved part as a linked component) had no button, so an
assembly of separately saved parts looked impossible. It is now on the ASSEMBLE panel
of every tab and in the File menu; it asks for the file, and a STEP or mesh file picked
there is inserted as Insert STEP or Insert Mesh would.

The Joint and As-built Joint dialogs explain why picks make no joint and offer Create Components from Bodies when every pick is on one component; joint.create and joint.as_built suggest component.from_bodies. Labels in all catalogs. Fixes#1239.
Drive Joints opens on the joint picked in the browser, else the first joint that moves, and won't start on a rigid joint. ui.start takes params: joint.drive opens on a joint (id or name) at given values, driving nothing until OK; a command or param it doesn't take is refused.
joint.drive answers moved, and a reason (with unconnected) when the joint can move nothing; motion.play answers moved and unmoved; joint.list answers floating chains. joint.drive values come back in joint.list's shape (deg/mm). quiet: true trims joint answers and motion.play poses. A single value keeps a joint's other values. Drive Joints shows the floating case (drive.unconnected, all locales).
component.insert_design adds a component holding another design's solid bodies, linked to its file (stored relative to the assembly once saved). component.update_links reads the linked designs again, component.break_link keeps the bodies and forgets the file, and component.links lists them. Links are saved under format 16; an older build keeps the bodies and drops the link.
Fixes#533
An mdBook under docs/book: a user guide (getting started, UI tour, sketching, features,
parameters, components and joints, sheet metal, plastic, files, shortcuts, MCP) and a developer
guide (CONTRIBUTING, architecture, command engine, kernel boundary, persistent naming, test
harnesses, and the existing docs/*.md pages). `cargo xtask book` generates the command reference
from `solvecraft-cli commands` and renders the screenshots with `solvecraft-cli snapshot`, then
runs mdbook. .github/workflows/pages.yml publishes the book at /solvecraft/ and the web app at
/solvecraft/app/ (skipped while the repository is private). .github/workflows/ci.yml runs
`cargo xtask ci` on pull requests. README and Help → Documentation link to the book.
