* Imports become components: a STEP assembly's tree as nested components (#1386)
Every imported file (STEP, IGES, 3MF, STL, OBJ: inserted, dropped, opened as a
design, or file.insert_step / file.insert_mesh / doc.open from scripts, the CLI
and MCP) now comes in as a new component named after the file, with its Import
feature inside it. A STEP assembly's products become nested components; a part
placed more than once is one component with an occurrence per placement, and
the Import feature skips the file's later copies (`skip`, format 21 note). The
contents are held as one rigid group (rigid joints, glyphs hidden); moving an
inner part is refused until component.unlock ("Unlock Contents") releases it.
Y up turns the import's component. Replies report component, component_name
and occurrence. Undo is one step; designs with loose imports are unchanged.

* View-dependent display refinement: bodies seen up close are drawn from finer display plans (#1320)
Each frame the viewport works out every shown body's screen-space error (the display
quality's chord tolerance in pixels where the body is nearest the eye) and picks a
refinement step past the chosen display quality, each halving the chord, with hysteresis.
Steps are planned off the UI thread and swapped in when ready, within a triangle budget
and a cache size. Faces (GPU plan or CPU mesh), edges, silhouettes and highlights of a
refined body all come from the refined plan, so a highlight stays on the drawn triangles.
Planned bodies are chunked by content on the GPU, so a refinement re-evaluates only its
own chunk. Display only: the reference mesh, the B-rep and exports never change.

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.

* Windows: resize border from the first frame, DPI-correct window moves (#1381)
- The egui resize zones were laid out after the start page's early return, so a launch without
a design had no resize edges at all. They now run on every page.
- Windows: the main window's procedure answers WM_NCHITTEST with the resize edges and corners,
Windows' own border width at the window's DPI (8 px at 100 %), so the OS shows its resize
cursors and runs its own resize (snap included) from the first message; no egui zones there.
- Windows: WM_GETDPISCALEDSIZE returns the size winit then applies (same logical size), so the
rect the OS suggests while the title bar is dragged onto a monitor with another scale is the
rect the window gets.
- Zone sizes and hit test shared in titlebar.rs and unit-tested; Windows CI checks the hit test
right after launch and a real edge drag.

* Fillet/chamfer: point the drag arrow into the corner on inside edges (#1384)
The radius/distance arrow always pointed against the faces' outward
bisector, which is into the body on an outside edge but away from the
corner on an inside one, where the blend adds material. The arrow and
the spline radius handles now take each edge's convexity into account,
so dragging out along the arrow grows the value on both kinds of edge,
and each edge of a mixed chain follows its own.

Part of #771 and #772. solid.sweep and surface.sweep take orientation (perpendicular, parallel or a direction), twist (up to 4 turns) and end scale (0.01 to 100), applied about the profile's normal through the path's start; default options run the old sweep, so existing sweeps are unchanged. New fields are optional, left out when unset and noted under format 21; twist and scale are model parameters. Both sweep dialogs get Orientation, Twist and End Scale rows; labels in every catalog. Checked on main + this branch: cargo check --workspace, kernel/engine/UI sweep tests, the doc suite and the robustness goldens.
One docked Save as mesh dialog replaces Export STL / 3MF / 3MF with face tags, with an optional Send to slicer that lists the slicers installed on this machine. Engine: file.save_mesh and file.slicers; the Convert Mesh dialog goes (mesh.convert and the MeshConvert feature stay, so existing designs open). Strings in all catalogs; screenshots in the PR. Checked on main + this branch: cargo check --workspace, the engine slicer/mesh/file tests, the UI catalog and menu tests and scenario s14 (the one local colour-token failure is epaint's TexturesDelta panic, which main shows on this machine too).
A control-channel method that reads the orbit camera, sets any of target/yaw/pitch/roll/distance, and fits listed occurrences (or everything) keeping the direction. Its reply passed back sets the same view again; a refused field changes nothing.
The empty design shown at launch, New on a design that is still empty, file.new and the blank design left when the last tab closes all take the Units of new designs preference. Opened files and the sample part keep their own units. Fixes#1205.

An opt-in Touchpad navigation preset: Shift + pointer motion pans, Alt/Option + motion orbits, vertical scroll zooms, all without a mouse button. Existing presets are unchanged; view.navigate gains continuous motion for the control channel and scenarios.
* Smart Extrude: direction from the picked side, Cut into a body stays a Cut (#1257)
- A sketch profile (or a thin extrude's curve) extrudes toward the side it was
picked from: from the bottom view it goes down. Body faces still go outward.
- The automatic operation is latched per side of the profile: a drag that starts
into a body is a Cut and stays one past the far side; a Join does not become a
Cut when it reaches another body. Passing through zero decides afresh for the
new side.
- An explicit operation, Direction or Reverse ends the automatic choices.
- auto_operation also looks just past the profile, so a long cut through a body
reads as a Cut from the start (the engine's operation: "auto" too).

The preview builds only the tool; the boolean runs once on OK, off the window thread, with a Computing label while it takes a while. Follow-up to #1020.
Lands the Render workspace (R3), bounded preview-image jobs with cancellation and atomic PNG export (R4a), and opaque PBR looks as one change.
- Render workspace: an overlay-free product preview on the installed GPU device. Returning to Design restores its camera. render.scene and render.settings.apply are added.
- Image jobs: render.preflight/start/status/cancel/export run bounded CPU preview jobs. Export captures the job, overwrite choice and document, and checks the caller's file scope before writing.
- Opaque PBR: looks can carry metal fraction, roughness and dielectric IOR. The product viewport and preview PNG use them; geometry and mass are unchanged. The v1 catalog export refuses PBR rather than dropping it.
- Render setups and PBR looks are saved under design format 21. Labels are in en/de/ja/ko/zh/ru.

A design carries metadata (format 21): project, part number, revision, author, organization, description and license, plus other tools' data under reverse-DNS keys, kept as written. Edited in the Design Properties window (Document Settings), set by document.metadata.set, reported by inspect_design, and written into STEP, IGES and 3MF where the format has a place for them. Translated, with tests.
Colour vision modes (Protan, Deutan, Tritan) in Preferences > Graphics, with palettes, shader and icon colours adapted per mode, translations and tests.
Open and Save use parented AsyncFileDialog sheets; their answers run on the UI thread in a later frame, so resizing the window while a picker is open no longer re-enters winit and aborts. Editors, tab changes, Close/Quit and model-changing control requests wait for the answer; the local library Open and Export in the Appearance dialog use the same flow. Fixes#1088.
Startup no longer stops at a bad settings file or a missing GPU: a settings file that fails to load is set aside, a failed GPU start retries with the software renderer, and a safe mode starts with defaults. Adds a troubleshooting page to the guide.
Adds local scalar appearance and material libraries: a catalog in the io crate with safe writes, engine commands to list and apply library entries, and a library dialog in the UI, with docs.
Thin Extrude builds walls of a set thickness along sketch curves, open chains and closed loops, with the wall centred, inside, outside or on both sides at two thicknesses. Saved under format 20 (thin on an Extrude); an extrude without thin saves as before. Closes#721.
Where SolidCraft can replace itself safely, the Update window gets Update now:
- AppImage: the new AppImage is downloaded next to the old one, verified and renamed over
it; Restart now starts it as SolidCraft exits.
- Windows MSI: the verified .msi starts (msiexec /i … /passive) once SolidCraft has closed,
after the usual questions about unsaved designs.
- Windows portable zip / standalone exe: the running solidcraft.exe is renamed to .old, the
new one takes its name (solidcraft-cli.exe too), Restart now; .old goes at the next start.
- macOS: the verified .dmg is opened (the app is ad-hoc signed and not notarized, so it isn't
replaced behind the user's back).
- Flatpak, Snap, deb, rpm, tar.gz: never replaced; the window shows the command.
Every package's SHA-256 must match the release's SHA256SUMS.txt (HTTPS, same release); a
mismatch deletes the download and changes nothing. With PUBLIC_KEY set in update/install.rs,
SHA256SUMS.txt.minisig must also verify (minisign-verify, MIT) with a trusted comment naming
the release. release.yml signs the list when the UPDATE_SIGNING_KEY secret exists and fails
when the app expects signatures but the secret is missing; docs/releasing.md has the steps.

At start, and at most once a day, a background thread asks GitHub for the latest stable
release (one HTTPS GET to releases/latest, nothing else sent; 15 s timeout; silent when
offline; GitHub's rate limit respected). When it is newer than this build, an Update button
appears next to Report a bug. It opens a window with the version, the release notes and
Download (the asset that fits this installation), Skip this version and Remind me later.
- Versions compare as semver; a nightly counts as the release it was built after, so it is
offered only a newer stable release.
- The installation is detected (AppImage, Flatpak, Snap from the store or a file, deb, rpm,
tar.gz, Windows MSI/portable/exe, macOS app); Download picks the fixed-name asset.
Development builds and the Flatpak (no network permission) never check.
- Preferences > General > Updates: Check for updates automatically (on) and Check now.

With a Chinese UI on Windows and macOS, the first CJK fallback was a Japanese font without the simplified characters, so one word mixed glyphs from two faces with different line heights and they sat on different baselines. For zh the Chinese face now joins the fallback chain before the Japanese one, and the chain is rebuilt on the frame the UI language changes; other languages keep the previous order.
* Holes on round faces from the app, one hole per pick, and Flip for holes at sketch points (#967)
The Hole dialog takes any face: a hole on a round face drills against the face's normal where it
was picked, and its arrow shows that. A round face split at its seam is picked whole, but makes
one hole where it was clicked. Holes at sketch points get Flip (saved as flip in the hole's points,
under format 18), in the command and in the dialog.

Sketch Mirror, rectangular and circular Pattern, and Offset now show a green live preview that follows the selection and settings; OK commits, Cancel leaves the sketch unchanged. The shared dialogs show the current selection step and source counts, sources can be toggled with Ctrl/Cmd-click, cleared and reselected.
Offsets keep editable driving distance dimensions (One Side, Two Sides, Symmetric) that update the derived curves without moving the source, with undo/redo and save/reopen. Format 19: older files keep their fixed offsets.
New dialog labels in en, zh, ja, de and ko.

Moving a window between monitors of different scale can briefly ask for a
surface larger than the device's largest texture (11512 x 6808 against 8192 in
the report), and Surface::configure failed validation, which wgpu turns into a
panic. The surface is now clamped to the device limit with its aspect ratio
kept, and egui draws the whole window at the matching smaller scale, so the
frame is only softer until the size settles. The device also asks for the
adapter's own texture limit (16384 on most desktop GPUs) instead of 8192, and
the resize path and an unsupported surface log instead of unwrapping.
Fixes#869

The app's control protocol gets engine.batch: the steps run in one request (so one frame), each as engine.execute runs it, stopping at the first failure and rolling back to the checkpoint by default. The MCP batch tool sends it to a running app (with the control token), is never resent after a lost reply, and falls back to step-by-step when the app refuses (agent cursor shown, or a step loads a file). A batch may take up to an hour to answer.
The feature history can sit in a panel on the left, with folders that hold one unbroken run of features, drag and drop as one undo step, and a resizable divider. Timeline folders save under format 17.
Sketch Scale now opens a tool window with the entities, an optional base point and a typed factor, instead of running the command with no parameters and raising an engine error.
`SolveApp::start` now honours a command's enabled flag, so shortcuts, the command palette and the control channel can't start a disabled command, and Move is disabled while a sketch is open.
The Box, Cylinder, Sphere, Torus and Coil dialogs now start their sizes in the design's units with the unit written out ("20 mm", "20 in"), like the other dialogs. OK makes the same sizes as before. Fixes#630.

A Single hole picked on or near a sketch point that lies on the face (a circle's centre) now goes to that point, as a Multiple pick does. Picks away from sketch points, or near one that isn't on the face under the cursor, stay where they were clicked. Fixes#657.

Dragging a text outline now moves the whole editable text, and Move/Copy shifts or rotates it as one piece (a copy stays independently editable). Content, font, height and outline identities are kept; a drag is one undo step and Esc restores the start.
Home, Fit, the orbit pivot and the scene's depth range counted sketches the view doesn't draw (ones used by an extrude or revolve, ones in hidden components), so after a body moved away from its sketch Home framed the empty spot it came from. They now use the world-space bounds of what is shown now (view::visible_bounds / view::sketch_drawn, viewport::view_bounds). The pick-box cache holds its world state instead of its address. A middle-button double-click goes Home in every preset (Preferences › Navigation: Home, Fit or Off).

The loading box was a full-window modal whose backdrop covered the custom title bar. It is now a light overlay under the title bar, so dragging, snapping, resizing and the window buttons keep working during open, import and recovery. The timeline rebuild shows feature N of M, and Cancel or Esc stops it at the next feature (solidcraft_doc::progress). Recovery restore now runs off the window thread too. A control or MCP doc.open or import is answered once the file is in and doesn't block frames; edits sent meanwhile wait their turn. The web build still opens in place.

New view.apply command restores a named view, a standard view or any camera (view state, not an undo step); the desktop viewport follows it and the browser's Restore uses it. The MCP screenshot tool takes a named view or a camera. Un-ignores the #528 regression test. Fixes#528.

Hold the left button still (long-press on touch) or right-click › Select Other… to list everything under the cursor: sketch points and curves ("Line 3", "Point (arc 2 centre)"), vertices, edges, faces, bodies, profiles, planes and axes, filtered like a click and by the open dialog's active input. Hovering a row lights it up; clicking selects it (Shift/Ctrl add) or feeds the dialog. A repeat click on the same spot with nothing changed selects the next thing there; a double-click keeps its own actions.

Every panic (in a command, in the kernel, anywhere else) and every unclean
exit (abort, stack overflow, kill) leaves a report in a local crash folder:
message, file:line, a trimmed backtrace, version, commit, system and renderer,
the command and recent commands, and when possible the design and replay.json
that reproduce it (solvecraft-cli crashes replay <id>).
- Cost: nothing until the app installs the hook (tests, CLI and web never
do); then one small journal line per top-level command of the design on
screen, taken back with a truncate when the command changed nothing.
- Unclean exits: each run holds a lock on its journal; a journal nobody holds
at the next start belongs to an app that died. Autosaves restart the
journal from the autosaved design.
- Bounded: a crash's signature (place + message, numbers ignored) is counted,
not rewritten; at most 5 new reports per run, 20 reports, 50 MB, 90 days;
recovered kernel panics are pruned first.
- Agents: diagnostics.crash_reports / crash_report / crash_reports.clear
commands, the MCP crash_reports tool, solvecraft-cli crashes, solvecraft
--crash-log; diagnostics.crash_test (with SOLVECRAFT_CRASH_TEST) checks it.
- People: the Crash Reports window opens after a crash (Help > Crash
Reports…) with a reviewed issue draft per report; nothing is sent.
- Release builds keep line tables for file:line in backtraces.
Tests: child processes that really panic in a command, in the kernel, on a
thread, and abort; dedup counts, limits, hostile folders, journal parsing,
the UI window and draft, the MCP tool. docs/crash-reports.md.

Choosing 8x anti-aliasing in Preferences › Graphics on a device that
only allows 1x and 4x for the window's format made every later start
panic in wgpu's pipeline validation (`Sample count 8 is not supported
by format Bgra8Unorm on this device`), so the app could not be opened
again without editing graphics.json by hand.
- egui-wgpu (vendored): request TEXTURE_ADAPTER_SPECIFIC_FORMAT_FEATURES
when the adapter has it (WebGPU only guarantees 1x and 4x), and clamp
the sample count to the largest one the device supports for both the
colour target and the depth/stencil format. The supported counts are
exposed as `RenderState::msaa_supported`.
- At start, a saved count the device can't do goes back to the default
(4x, or the largest supported count below it), is written back, and a
"Settings were changed" notice says what changed.
- The Anti-aliasing list greys out unsupported counts, `ui.prefs`
rejects them, and an invalid saved `msaa` loads as the default.

* feat(sketch): constructive solving ahead of the numeric solver
Part 1 of splitting #251: the sketch crate only. A graph-constructive front
end (Owen 1991; Fudos & Hoffmann 1997) places what it can by ruler-and-compass
loci and cluster decomposition, Levenberg-Marquardt finishes and verifies the
rest, and the rank analysis stays authoritative for degrees of freedom. Solves
can follow a reference (the previous solution), so edits and drags keep their
branch instead of flipping.
New API: solve_with (hold, reference, analysis, budget) and
solve_after_value_edit; solve and solve_holding keep their signatures as
wrappers, so no caller changes here.
When the seed moves an arc's centre, the arc's unconstructed ends start carried
along (the arc translates) instead of left behind for LM to turn; found by the
reference test 20-slot-constrained.

* feat(doc): keep a sketch's solved state across value edits
Part 2 of splitting #251 (builds on part 1, the sketch crate):
- Sketch edits solve for the document's values continuing from the stored
solved state (Document::solve_sketch), so a dimension edit keeps the
sketch's branch instead of re-solving from scratch.
- A value edit (parameters, a configuration, the units) that would make a
sketch that solved before fail or turn over is refused with the
conflicting constraints named; otherwise the solved sketches are written
back into the document (Model::adopt_solved_sketches), which changes what
saved designs store.
- Later features are keyed by a sketch's solved geometry (to a 1e-6 mm
quantum), so setting a value back reuses their earlier results.
- Solved sketches in a model state are shared (Arc) between states.

* feat(sketch): live drag that keeps its solution, ended by sketch.drag_end
Part 3 of splitting #251 (builds on part 2):
- sketch.drag follows a long move in short held steps, so the geometry keeps
its branch, and reports how far it got (reached, at).
- live: true runs one frame of an interactive drag: the sketch is solved
once and shown, later features keep their last result (marked stale)
until sketch.drag_end or any command that reads the model evaluates it
(CommandSpec::live, reads_model, doc_only).
- sketch.drag_end adds the constraint the drag let go on and evaluates the
model once.
- Undo and redo evaluate a new document once (execute does) instead of
twice.
- The viewport drives drags through live frames and drag_end; dimension
text drags start only off sketch geometry.
