Subject: [PATCH 002/245] kernel-cases: --kernel smlib|solidcore|both, each
 case's process on SOLIDCRAFT_KERNEL, and the two side by side

A solidcore run keeps results.json, dumps/ and report.md in <out>/solidcore/; both runs every
case on each backend in one job pool, keeps docs/kernel-cases.md as the SMLib report and writes
docs/kernel-cases-backends.md and <out>/backends.json (cases that differ first). The default
(smlib) is unchanged.

Subject: [PATCH 003/245] Kernel: a solidcore backend behind crates/smlib,
 routed per operation

crates/smlib's Brep now holds a body of either kernel and converts it for the
other through the flat arrays the first time an operation routed there needs
it. route.rs is the routing table (every family on SMLib until the rig shows
parity), with SOLIDCRAFT_KERNEL=smlib|solidcore|routed and a preference to
override it; a failing solidcore call fails, with no fallback to C++. core.rs
runs every solidcore call on one process kernel under a panic guard, and
wires box, volume and counts. solidcore is a git dependency pinned by rev,
the web app links with an 8 MiB stack, and cargo-deny allows its git source.

Subject: [PATCH 005/245] Kernel: solidcore bodies to and from SMLib's flat
 arrays, and its primitives

core::to_arrays ports FlatFromBrep (through BrepData::from_brep: same ids, face/edge/vertex
order, analytic kinds with radian ranges, NURBS forms, SMLib's own UV trims and tolerances);
core::from_arrays ports Validate, FlatToBrepData and BrepFromFlat (MakeTopologyFromData,
healing unless SOURCE says SMLib wrote the arrays). Cylinders, spheres, cones and tori are made
in solidcore when Op::Primitive routes there, like boxes. cpp_arrays copies every array, so
Brep::core gets what the import needs; flat.rs gains WIRE_EDGE_NURBS_FORM.

All six primitives export to records that validate and check, and their arrays match the C++
kernel's (ints exact, reals 1e-12). Where solidcore lacks a port the C++ calls
(SmCircle::IsNurbCurveCircle, SmCylinder::IsNurbSurfaceCylinder, SmTorus::IsNurbSurfaceTorus,
SmSurface::ApproximateSurface, SmShell::IsInnerShellOf) the conversion says "not supported
yet"; the round trips that need them, and a sphere's volume at 1e-8 (SM_ERR in solidcore), are
ignored with the reason.

Subject: [PATCH 007/245] Preferences: a Geometry kernel setting, applied
 through diagnostics.kernel

Preferences > Design gains a Geometry kernel segmented control (Routed, SMLib,
solidcore), saved with the other preferences and applied through the
diagnostics.kernel command at startup and when it changes, so an agent's
choice in between stands. When SOLIDCRAFT_KERNEL overrides it the control is
disabled and a hint says the environment variable wins. ui.prefs refuses an
unknown geometry_kernel.

diagnostics.kernel now refuses a `choice` of the wrong type instead of
reading it as no choice. Tests cover the routing report, setting the choice
(skipped under SOLIDCRAFT_KERNEL), unknown and hostile choices, and put the
choice back to routed however they end. The command's label and the new
strings are in a pending locale file, complete for ar, he, ja and zh.

Subject: [PATCH 008/245] Kernel: booleans, unions, 2D booleans and imprints on
 solidcore

Op::Boolean's operations get a solidcore backend (core/boolean.rs), each the
fork capi's logic round SM_API: smlib_boolean_with's operand copies
(SmApiBrepCopy), IsManifoldSolid of the inputs and finish's closed-result
check with non-manifold results allowed (closed_nonmanifold);
smlib_boolean_union_all's balanced pairwise tree; smlib_boolean2d's
SmPrimitiveCreation::Boolean2D with its no-face early return; smlib_imprint's
SmApiBooleanWithOptions(SM_BO_IMPRINT, keep tool) and its no-cut result.
ops.rs routes each like Brep::volume. The routing table is unchanged.

Tests: ten cases against analytic volumes (union, intersection, through slot,
flush notch, void, cylinder hole, 3x3 union_all, disjoint, sphere less a cap,
imprint), every result exported to a validated record; with SMLib built, the
same on C++ gives equal volume, counts and faces by surface kind.

Subject: [PATCH 009/245] Kernel: the Measure and Check families on solidcore

core/measure.rs composes smlib_measure.cpp on solidcore's ports: mass properties through
SmBrep::ComputePreciseProperties directly (the [1e-8, 1e-1] envelope, material regions, the
face-by-face sheet fallback, moments about the box middle moved to the centroid), the area face
by face, the tight box, the edge/face gap, and IsManifoldSolid. solidcore has no
SmApiBrepMaterialCensus and no topology-level AssertValid, so solid_count and check say
"not supported yet". Each public method routes as Brep::volume does; the table is unchanged.

core/measure_tests.rs checks the primitives against the closed forms (now shared in
measure::closed) and, with SMLib built, against the C++ kernel. The cases solidcore misses are
ignored with their cause: face properties at 1e-8 (no knot-span splitting, fork 08d9a14),
solidcore#1431, the census and AssertValid.

Subject: [PATCH 010/245] solidcore backend: every UpstreamFixes flag on, and
 the ignored cases name their solidcore issues

Every opt-in fix of an upstream SMLib defect is a fix, so all are on; a test
fails when a solidcore bump adds a flag that is not. The face-properties
accuracy cases wait on solidcore#1435, the census on #1436, the body check on
#1419.

Subject: [PATCH 012/245] Kernel: fillets and chamfers on solidcore

core/blend.rs ports the capi's composition round the fillet executive
(smlib_ops.cpp blend_call, round_edges, chamfer_offsets/chamfer_edges,
chamfer_radius, blend_failure, setbacks_fit, law_ok/law_pinches/law_along,
finish; smlib_pick.h): picking edges and corners by point with the
NoMatch/Ambiguous rule, per-edge kinds and sizes, bevelled chamfer corners,
N x N convex corner setbacks (CornerRefused otherwise), the B-spline
variable law, and the capi's errors (Argument, NoRoom, NoEffect, Empty,
NotSolid, SMLib statuses). ops.rs routes fillet, chamfer, blend,
blend_setback, blend_setback_open, fillet_variable and chamfer_sides on
Op::Blend as the boolean family is routed.

What the capi asks of fork-only SMLib that solidcore lacks is "not
supported yet", refused where the capi first reaches it: curvature blends
(fd3b6a7), two-distance and angle chamfers (f653ac9), open corners
(60af574), laws with a corner (6eecf04), and rails leaving their face, which
the fork may build over the cliff (8ba4667).

core/blend_tests.rs checks closed forms (one edge, all twelve edges, a
chamfer, Pappus on a cylinder rim, a setback corner, a linear variable
round, the errors) and, with native, C++ parity on volume, counts and
faces by kind, or the same error.

+//! - a blend whose rail leaves its face, which the fork may build over the cliff

Subject: [PATCH 013/245] Kernel: two-distance and angle chamfers on solidcore

chamfer_sides on solidcore ports the capi's outer_faceuse, face_frame and
sides_offsets, and chamfer_offsets now makes the calls the fork's
SetFilletParameters makes with pOptSecondRadii (f653ac9): per edge the
blend edge use, solidcore#1426's constant-radius solver with the second
offset (approximation tolerance 4 x the edge's, 20 and 10 degrees),
load_solver and a linear generator. Equal chamfers take the same path
with the second offset equal to the first, as the capi does.

The two-distance and distance-angle cases match their closed forms and
the C++ kernel (volume 1e-9, counts, faces by kind); a centroid test
checks the first distance goes on the face leaning along `first`.

The cliff-overflow refusal is still told apart by its comment: solidcore
notes it as NoRoom with no code of its own.

Subject: [PATCH 015/245] Kernel: shells, thickening and sheet offsets on
 solidcore

core::offset ports the C API's offset family from the fork's smlib_ops.cpp and
smlib_sheets.cpp: smlib_shell (with the leaves_cavity guard, which still decides
the answer: without it solidcore's inward shell of a box with no cavity fails
with 1001 where the capi says NO_ROOM), smlib_thicken, smlib_offset_sheet,
smlib_offset_faces and smlib_draft, on SmApiShellBrepFull / SmApiOffsetBrepFull
(api_shell_brep_full, api_offset_brep_full), picking faces by point as
smlib_pick.h does. Shell, offset_faces, thicken and offset_sheet route on
Op::Offset, draft on Op::Split; the table is unchanged.

What solidcore lacks is "not supported yet" where the capi first reaches it:
the face move (SmOffsetFacesExecutive, fork a96ce9f, solidcore#1060) and the
draft's SmBrep::LocalOperation (solidcore PR #1427).

core/offset_tests.rs checks each case against its closed form and, with
native, the C++ kernel. Thicken (one-sided and symmetric), the plate's sheet
offset, an outward closed shell and the argument refusals match. The rest wait
on solidcore: its topology point solve finds only vertices, so no face is
picked and leaves_cavity sees no cavity; an offset surface does not export
(no SmSurface::ApproximateSurface); walls that meet are 1027 (#1019).

Subject: [PATCH 018/245] Kernel: extrusions, revolutions, sweeps, lofts and
 screw sweeps on solidcore

The capi's sweeps (capi/src/smlib_sweeps.cpp) ported onto solidcore in
core::sweep, routed from sweeps.rs when Op::Sweep runs there (the table
is unchanged): planar faces, straight and drafted extrusions, revolutions,
sweeps along straight and arc paths with their placements, lofts, lofts
to a point, sweeps through stations, the screw sweeps (the capi's own
walls, which solidcore leaves to it: solidcore PR #1326), curve
projection and face sections.

Fork-only SMLib code is refused as not supported where the capi reaches
it: drafted corners under the curvature and tangent rules (54148db,
e8f23e0), the curve sweep keeping the profile at the path's start
(2dd71a0, 5d3939e), and SmBrep::CreatePlanarSectionCurves.

core/sweep_tests.rs checks 19 cases against closed forms and, with
native, the C++ kernel: 14 match both; the rest name their solidcore
issue (#1435, #1440) or the missing fork code.

+//! Extrusions, revolutions, sweeps, lofts and planar faces on solidcore: the C API's logic round
+//! SM_API's sweeps, ported from the fork's `capi/src/smlib_sweeps.cpp` (`coord_ok`, `unit`,
+//! `line`, `arc`, `nurbs`, `parse`, `finish`, `one_loop`, `straight`, `circular`, `joined`,
+//! `put_motion`, `turned`, `maps_ok`, `placed`, `put_curve`, and the entry points
+//! `smlib_planar_faces`, `smlib_extrude`, `smlib_revolve`, `smlib_sweep_placed`, `smlib_loft`,
+//! `smlib_loft_to_point`, `smlib_sweep_stations`, `smlib_project_curves`, `smlib_face_section`,
+//! and `smlib_screw_sweep` and `smlib_screw_sweep_radial` with `Screw`, `Stations`,
+//! `lift_error`, `offset_error`, `path`, `path_curve`, `axial_radius`, `cylinder_piece`,
+//! `screw_wall` and `screw_sweep`).
+//!
+//! As there, each call builds its own curves from the curve list, checks its numbers before the
+//! kernel sees them, runs SM_API's sweep and hands the result over only when it is what was asked
+//! for: a closed manifold solid when the ends are capped ([`Error::NotSolid`] otherwise), never a
+//! body without faces ([`Error::Empty`]).
+//!
+//! What the capi asks of SMLib code that solidcore does not have is [`Error::Unsupported`],
+//! refused where the capi would first reach it, so every error before it is the C++ path's:
+//! - a drafted extrusion with a sharp corner under [`DraftCorner::Curvature`] (fork 54148db), or
+//!   under [`DraftCorner::Tangent`] with a profile of lines and arcs only (fork e8f23e0): the
+//!   fork's `sm_CreateCurvatureKeepingWalls` and its `SmTaperCornerRefusal`;
+//! - a sweep along a path that is neither straight nor (turning with it) arcs about one axis:
+//!   SM_API's curve sweep with `bProfileAtPathStart` (fork 2dd71a0) and its placements (fork
+//!   5d3939e);
+//! - a planar section of a face (`SmBrep::CreatePlanarSectionCurves`).
+//!
+//! The screw sweeps are the capi's own: it builds their walls from SMLib's B-spline surfaces,
+//! cylinders and face builders (`Stations`, `screw_wall`, `cylinder_piece`), with no SM_API
+//! sweep behind them, and solidcore leaves them to the capi (solidcore PR #1326, closed as
+//! fork-only; #1162 and #1163 triaged not applicable). So they are ported here.

Subject: [PATCH 020/245] Offset: face picks on the working copy read its
 proven owners (solidcore#1440)

The working copy every operation makes (copy_of: api_brep_copy naming its
objects in their own key domain) has no naming scheme of its own, so
BrepIdentity::of_brep gave it the arena's identities, which name none of its
geometry owners: every face's closest-point solve failed with InvalidInput
("edge owner is not in source B-rep"). pick_faces and leaves_cavity now key
the live view by BrepQuery::of_brep(..).effective_identity(), which reads the
owners the copy records. Not a solidcore defect.

The failure stayed hidden because answer() turned every solidcore error but
Unported into "no answer". The capi skips a query only when it returns a
status other than SM_SUCCESS, so answer() (now in core.rs) skips only
SolidError::Upstream and SolidError::Nlib and fails on anything else. The
same rule replaces the swallowing in convert.rs (ClassifyEdgeCurve, the plane
map, AnalyticOfNurbs) and sweep.rs (sm_DraftHasCorner's angle).

Tests: faces_are_picked_on_the_box_and_on_its_working_copy (closed-form
distances on the body, on copy_of's copy, and by the maintainers' usage;
the copy under the arena's identities is an error) and
a_solidcore_error_in_a_pick_is_an_error. The #1440 offset and sweep cases
run; shell_cylinder_open_top waits on a stray rim vertex in the shell.

Subject: [PATCH 021/245] smlib: shell_cylinder_open_top stays ignored as a
 solidcore defect (solidcore#1130)

solidcore's own difftest wiring of api_shell_brep_full (and the test
fixture's OffsetExecutive::shell_brep) gives the same 333.0089389, 7 edges
and 5 vertices with every UpstreamFixes flag on, with none and with each
alone: MateEdges marches the offset edges on the B-spline extensions. The
fork fixed it in fddc366 and 98ab1b0, which solidcore has not ported.

Subject: [PATCH 023/245] Kernel routing: tests read each choice's routes
 without flipping the process to solidcore

The route test in solidcraft-smlib and diagnostics_kernel_reports_and_sets_the_choice in the
engine set the process-wide choice to solidcore for an instant while the other tests in their
binaries build bodies, so any of those could land on solidcore. Op::backend_under(choice) gives
the routes a choice would have without setting it (Op::backend follows it); the tests check
solidcore's routes through it, and set through the preference or the command only a choice
that routes every family as the table does. SMLib's own behaviour is unchanged.

Subject: [PATCH 024/245] solidcore: move the pin to 9b76ac13 (main, with
 SmApiBrepMaterialCensus, solidcore#1436)

From b1b95955: the census port (#1447), the fast-drop face filters
reading the trimmed cache in its pre-GetTree state during booleans (#1371),
and difftest-only changes. No new UpstreamFixes flags. crates/smlib's tests
are unchanged: 130 passed, 37 ignored.

Subject: [PATCH 025/245] smlib: solid_count on solidcore runs
 SmApiBrepMaterialCensus (solidcore#1436)

The solidcore backend's solid_count now returns the solids of
brep_material_census, as smlib_brep_solid_count does with
SmApiBrepMaterialCensus (voids dropped, errors through the same mapping
as the other measure calls). The #1436 ignores are gone; only check
stays unported (solidcore#1419). Boolean cases now count solids:
two disjoint boxes unioned give 2, a box with an inner void gives 1,
with C++ parity under native.

Subject: [PATCH 027/245] solidcore: move the pin to f020a066 (main, with
 IsNurbSurfaceCylinder / IsNurbSurfaceTorus, solidcore#1433)

From 4cd55082: the ports of SmCylinder::IsNurbSurfaceCylinder and
SmTorus::IsNurbSurfaceTorus (#1448), with the new opt-in fix
found_torus_sphere_keep_tested_nurb (fork 7ea6a96, WR-493), turned on like
every other flag.

Subject: [PATCH 028/245] smlib: circle, cylinder and torus NURBS forms come
 into solidcore (solidcore#1432, #1433)

from_arrays now runs SMLib's own tests where the capi's flat import does
(capi/src/smlib_flat.cpp):
- MakeEdgeCurve: a circle edge given with its NURBS form must pass
  SmCircle::IsNurbCurveCircle (Ellipse::is_nurb_curve_circle); the circle kept
  is the one of its canonical entry's frame and radius, its domain from
  ConicDomainOfNurbs, holding that NURBS (SameNurbsCurve, ported); any failure
  is SM_ERR_INVALID_INPUT.
- AnalyticOfNurbs: SmCylinder::IsNurbSurfaceCylinder and
  SmTorus::IsNurbSurfaceTorus, kept only when their NURBS is the face's.

The cylinder, frustum and torus now round-trip (same record within 1e-12,
volume exact). The cone and sphere records come back the same, but their
volumes still miss: the cone's on solidcore#1435 (1.4e-9 at 1e-8), the
sphere's on #1437 (0); those stay ignored on those issues.

Subject: [PATCH 029/245] solidcore: move the pin to 3546c9bc (main, with
 solidcore#1437 and #1445)

From f020a066: trim_boundary_seam_wrap keeps the gap lines along a singular
side (#1446, fixes #1437), so a sphere's area, volume and inertia are no
longer 0; they now miss 1e-9 by about 2e-9 (solidcore#1435). And
BrepIdentity::of_brep honours a copy's geometry_owner_keys (#1445, after
#1440): the identity test uses its new form. No new UpstreamFixes flags.

Subject: [PATCH 030/245] smlib: SOLIDCRAFT_KERNEL_ROUTES moves single
 families; the rig scores one at a time

SOLIDCRAFT_KERNEL_ROUTES=<op>=<smlib|solidcore>[,...] applies on top of SOLIDCRAFT_KERNEL or the
preference, read once; bad, empty, overlong or surplus items are logged and ignored, and `file`
stays on SMLib. diagnostics.kernel reports it as `overrides`.

`cargo xtask kernel-cases --kernel both --route <op>=solidcore[,...]` runs the solidcore side as
SMLib with those families on solidcore, labelled solidcore[ops], into <out>/solidcore-<ops>/.

Subject: [PATCH 031/245] smlib: tests for face tags through a boolean, C++ and
 solidcore

The C++ boolean of two tagged overlapping cubes gives 12 faces with one origin
each, six per operand. The same boolean routed to solidcore loses every tag:
solidcore's boolean takes no caller attributes and its merge keys are private.
That test is ignored until solidcore offers a way to carry attributes through
an operation (scratchpad bug boolean-operand-attributes-lost.md).

Subject: [PATCH 035/245] xtask kernel-cases: read the case's output while it
 runs, so a result over 64 KiB is not taken for a hang

run_case read stdout and stderr only after the child exited. A child that
writes more than the pipe buffer blocked in write and was killed at the
timeout as a hang (booleans/4623 with boolean routed to solidcore prints
65.9 KB). Two reader threads now drain the pipes while the rig waits; the
timeout still kills the child and reports a hang.

Subject: [PATCH 038/245] smlib: tolerances cross the kernels per entity, not
 as the body's largest

The flat arrays carry each edge's and vertex's own tolerance, but
to_arrays wrote the largest tolerance as TOLERANCE, and both imports take
TOLERANCE as the B-rep's, which MakeTopologyFromData raises every entity
to. Each crossing gave the whole body its largest tolerance, and a
solidcore chamfer makes its edges at 4x the B-rep's, so a chain of
mixed-route chamfers grew every tolerance fourfold per blend until one
failed (fillets/2341, 1e-5 to 0.164 mm by the 8th chamfer).

- to_arrays writes the B-rep's own tolerance as TOLERANCE (curves are
  still approximated to the largest), so the C++ import keeps each edge's
  and vertex's own.
- from_arrays takes the B-rep's tolerance as the least of the edges' and
  vertices' and each face's as the least of its edges' and loop
  vertices', when the arrays carry them (the C++ export still writes the
  largest as TOLERANCE).

fillets/2341 with blend on solidcore now passes; no other fillets or
booleans case changes status.

Subject: [PATCH 041/245] Kernel routing: primitives run on solidcore by
 default

Op::Primitive moves to Backend::Solidcore. Rig (cargo xtask kernel-cases, 479 cases):
- SMLib only (--kernel smlib, which sets SOLIDCRAFT_KERNEL=smlib, so primitives on C++): 445/479
- primitives on solidcore (--kernel solidcore --route primitive=solidcore, the new default
  table): 449/479; no case worse, 4 better (1107, 114, 1140, 1195)
- earlier, routed alone: 469/469 agree (solidcore 3546c9bc)

What the flip showed:
- core::make_box checked only finiteness; smlib_make_box also refuses a non-positive size.
  A bad box is Error::Argument on either kernel again (bad_arguments_are_errors checks both).
- Tests that mean the C++ kernel's own body (measure and convert parity, the C-API profiler
  span, the no-SMLib build) build it with the C API (ffi::make_*), whatever the route.
- tess: a plan's node one ulp past a closed spline's interval was wrapped a whole period to the
  other end, and its triangles spanned the period in (u, v). A body that reaches SMLib through
  the flat import (every solidcore primitive) gets such a pcurve end on a cylinder's seam
  (the M10 thread run-out test). wrap_into now takes a rounding past an end as that end.

Subject: [PATCH 044/245] solidcore: a region of several shells converts, its
 enclosing shell first
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

from_arrays refused a bounded region of several shells (a sealed void),
as solidcore had no SmShell::IsInnerShellOf. solidcore#1473 ports it, so
the conversion now runs the capi's PutEnclosingShellsFirst (fork 41e7dca)
on top of it: candidates are the closed face-use shells whose box can be
computed, largest box first (stable), and the first that every other
shell is SM_TRUE inside becomes the head of the region's list. SM_FALSE
and SM_UNSURE rule a candidate out, as the capi's `== TRUE`; a region
where none is shown enclosing keeps its order. solidcore errors with no
C++ counterpart refuse the conversion, and containment tests are capped.

Tests: a 20 mm box minus a centred 10 mm box crosses the arrays both ways
with its outer shell first, from arrays listing it inner first too, at
7000 mm³ to 1e-9 and the C++ kernel's volume; C++ reads solidcore's
arrays (either order) as a body passing its level-2 check.

 WP1's whole-body AssertValid walk)

No new flags: fork ffaf4e8 is folded into imprint_trims_edge_to_proto_vertex and
imprint_extends_edge_to_proto_vertex, both on.

Subject: [PATCH 048/245] solidcore: draft faces through SmBrep::LocalOperation
 (solidcore PR #1427)

core::offset::draft now finishes the capi's draft_faces: each picked plane is
copied, turned by the angle about its hinge on the neutral plane
(RotateAboutAxisAtPoint about n x pull), and solidcore's local_operation puts
the tilted planes in, under the offset calls' notification stores; its status
maps through the module's status() and the result through finish(). The tail
is adapted from ablasik's draft in crates/smlib/src/ffi/rs_ops2.rs on
ablasik/solidcraft app/solidcore-backend-on-develop (9c7e8e31), reordered to
follow the capi line for line and using core::offset's errors and checks
(ATTRIBUTION.md, Recovered contributions).

The capi's moved_faces check (SMLIB_ERR_NO_EFFECT when no result face lies on
a marked surface) is not made: solidcore surfaces carry no attributes and the
local operation reports no face history (solidcore#1462). Face moves stay on
SmOffsetFacesExecutive (#1060) and are still refused.

draft_box_sides is no longer ignored; draft_one_side, draft_one_side_out and
draft_one_side_hinged_at_the_top check the single-face wedge (a h^2 tan(t) / 2)
against both kernels.

Subject: [PATCH 049/245] fix(smlib): export a cone of rounding-size half angle
 as a cylinder

The portable record rejects a cone with |half angle| < 1e-12; a52's thread
cones come out of the trims at 1e-13 and failed 10 features with
'cone dimensions'.

(cherry picked from commit d5d74105a25528b044e0e3090b2410e1b3e95019)

Subject: [PATCH 050/245] smlib: drop the cone test's gate on a solidcore
 feature this branch doesn't have

The export tests module is already gated on `native`; the cherry-picked test's
`any(native, solidcore)` names a feature that isn't declared here, which
clippy -D warnings rejects as an unexpected cfg.

Subject: [PATCH 053/245] Kernel routing: records convert on solidcore by
 default

Op::Convert moves to Backend::Solidcore: a schema 4 record becomes a solidcore body
(Brep::from_record, from_record_keeping_splines) and a body's arrays for the record mapping come
from solidcore (Brep::arrays, so to_native, to_native_report, to_native_ordered). A C++ operation
still gets its own body from solidcore's arrays through the flat import, when it asks for one.

Rig (cargo xtask kernel-cases, 479 cases, solidcore 3c17ddb1):
- convert routed alone (--kernel solidcore --route convert=solidcore): 450/479 against SMLib's
  449; 478 agree, the other (fillets/1557) fails on SMLib and passes on solidcore
- the new default table (--route primitive=solidcore,convert=solidcore): 450/479
- SMLib only (plain run, SOLIDCRAFT_KERNEL=smlib): 449/479; the only case that differs is 1557,
  better on the table

Against SOLIDCRAFT_KERNEL_ROUTES=convert=smlib, no test fails that did not already: smlib with
and without native, solidcraft-kernel --features smlib, the engine lib tests with --features
smlib, and the naming corpus (the same 116 designs differ, with the same output).

Subject: [PATCH 055/245] solidcore: run the body check (smlib_brep_check) on
 solidcore#1419's check_brep

The check is the capi's call sequence on solidcore's public check API: ValidatePointers, then,
when that fails nothing, AssertValid over the whole body at the requested level. The report
keeps the capi's lines: "<type>::Test #N <name>: <message> [owner <type>]", the line for a
failed status with no report, and "AssertValid skipped". The failure count is the capi's: the
skipped line is not counted.

The check never reports a body valid after running fewer tests than the C++ kernel. A test
solidcore has not ported fails it with "not supported yet". So does a body whose geometry
owners are named by keys the check cannot know: NamingScheme::Unknown, or Caller other than
SolidCraft's own array import. check_brep would check those against arena identities and fail
SmBrep test 61 on every edge. Bodies imported from arrays are checked with the import's key_of.

The primitives' check and check parity tests run again. New tests: a valid box passes level 2
with an empty report on both kernels, and a box with a vertex moved 1 mm off its edges (made
through the arrays) gets the C++ kernel's report, line for line.

  moved out d = 1, convex edges extended: (a + 2d)(b + 2d)(c + 2d) = 32 * 22 * 12 = 8448,
  bounds (-1, -1, -1) to (31, 21, 11), six planes.
- draft_a_curved_face (tangency-labs/smlib#27): the cylinder R = 5, h = 10 drafted
  0.1 rad about its base, leaning in, is the frustum of radii R and r = R - h tan 0.1:
  V = pi h (R^2 + R r + r^2) / 3 = 638.3350153968712 (a cone and two planes).

C++ meets both within the file's 1e-9 relative. The solidcore side of each is ignored:
core/offset.rs still makes the old capi's refusals (a closed solid in offset_sheet,
planes only in draft). With the offset_sheet refusal dropped, solidcore gives the
block exactly; solidcore has Cone::lean_cylinder (solidcore#1545) for the draft.

Subject: [PATCH 062/245] smlib: solidcore offsets a closed sheet, as the capi
 since tangency-labs/smlib#17

Ports smlib PR #17 (merge b0180137) into core/offset.rs::offset_sheet: the refusal of a
closed manifold solid is dropped, so faces that close into a solid (a sphere's one face, a
block's six) give the offset solid. The port also gains the capi's `take` check it was
missing: a result without faces is SMLIB_ERR_EMPTY (Error::Empty), not an empty body.

Tests (closed forms):
- offset_sheet_a_solid un-ignored: 32 * 22 * 12 = 8448, bounds -1 .. (31, 21, 11).
- offset_sheet_a_sphere (PR #17's capi case): r 10 moved out 2, (4/3) pi 12^3.
- offset_sheet_a_sphere_to_its_centre: r 10 moved in 10 leaves no face: Empty, as C++.

Subject: [PATCH 063/245] smlib: solidcore drafts a cylinder along the pull
 into a cone, as the capi since tangency-labs/smlib#27

Ports smlib PR #27 (merge f64ff8b6) into core/offset.rs::draft: a picked face on a cylinder
(end radii equal, the #27 test) gets the cone `drafted_cone` gives, through the same
LocalOperation as a tilted plane. As in the capi, the outward normal at the face's internal
point (`outward_normal`: STEP inversion, NURBS uv, the surface normal turned with the outer
faceuse) says pin or hole (s = +1 or -1). The hinge circle is the axis on the neutral plane,
at the cylinder's height v0. The radius changes by -s tan(angle) per unit along the pull. The
pull must run along the axis (to 1e-9), and the axis must cross the neutral plane;
otherwise, or when the cone would close within the face, the draft is Error::Unsupported.
The capi's control-point edit and CopyAndAddAnalytics are solidcore's Cone::lean_cylinder
(solidcore#1545), with slope -s tan(angle) (z . pull) about height v0. A cone that is not a
cylinder (smlib#53's turned generators) stays Unsupported: lean_cylinder takes cylinders only.

draft_a_curved_face (R 5, h 10, 0.1 rad: V = pi h (R^2 + R r + r^2) / 3 = 638.3350153968712,
r = R - h tan 0.1) stays ignored on solidcore. lean_cylinder keeps the clone's cylinder flag.
Under the cylinder_rebuild_mean_radius fix SolidCraft runs with, rebuild_step_from_nurb_parameters
then refuses the leaned NURB (SM_ERR 1001). With that fix off, the port meets the closed form,
but the face is still flagged a cylinder ({cylinder: 1, plane: 2} vs C++'s {cone: 1, plane: 2}).
This is a solidcore bug, to be filed.

Subject: [PATCH 065/245] smlib: an offset or other non-NURBS face surface
 exports through ApproximateSurface on solidcore (solidcore#1441), and the new
 fixes are on

`to_arrays` approximates a face surface that is not a B-spline kind as `FlatFromBrep` does:
`ApproximateSurface` within the curves' approximation tolerance (`approx_tol3d`), up to 5
subdivisions, B-splines copied; a failed status or no surface fails the export.

`fixes()` turns on fillet_3x2_mixed_concave_side_edge (#1475),
ssi_singular_start_inside_direction (#1522) and fillet_vertex_error_diagnostics (#1469).

offset_sheet_quarter_cylinder now exports and matches its closed form; its parity with the C++
kernel stays ignored on solidcore#1477 (the quarter arc sweeps to an SmSurfOfExtrusion, not the
fork's SmCylinder).

Subject: [PATCH 068/245] smlib: drafted extrudes keep their corners and curve
 sweeps keep the profile where it lies on solidcore (solidcore#1449, #1450)

Wires the two solidcore fixes into the smlib crate's solidcore port of the capi sweeps:

- solidcore#1449: `fixes()` turns on `taper_tangent_corner_planes`. `extrude`'s draft
  no longer refuses a sharp corner under the curvature rule (or the tangent rule with a
  profile of lines and arcs) as not supported: it calls
  `create_taper_extrude_with_corner` with the rule (curvature -> CurveExtension,
  tangent -> LinearExtension, round -> FilletCorner), and a refused corner is the
  capi's `Error::Corner { why, at }` (Apart, WallCloses, NotExact at the corner's
  point), as the C++ path reports `SmTaperCornerRefusal` and `pOptRefusedCorner`.
  The tangent/sharp/has_corner checks that only fed the refusal are gone.
- solidcore#1450: a sweep along a path that is neither straight nor arcs about one
  axis runs `create_curve_sweep_with_placements` with `profile_at_path_start` (and
  `translational_sweep` for a translating frame), and `placed` takes the first,
  middle and last placements. As in the capi's `smlib_sweep_placed`, round a closed
  path the ends are not capped (the caps would lie on each other inside the solid)
  and the faces are stitched, a lamina left being not solid.

The tests the two issues held back run again (extrude_square_drafted_curvature,
extrude_draft_wall_closes, sweep_along_a_bent_path), with a new case round a closed
rounded rectangle (Pappus). The module note drops the two refusals.

Subject: [PATCH 069/245] smlib: the body check reads a Caller body's recorded
 keys on solidcore (solidcore#1584)

solidcore#1585 records the caller keys where a NamingScheme::Caller body is built (an array
import through make_topology_from_data, api_brep_copy), and check_brep checks the body
under them. So `check` runs plain check_brep on every body but an Unknown one, and the
keyed path for our own array imports (Keys::Convert, check_brep_with_keys under
convert::key_of) is gone. A Caller body whose maker recorded no keys (check_brep's
InvalidInput) is refused as not supported, as an Unknown body still is, never a failed
check.

Subject: [PATCH 070/245] smlib: curvature-continuous rounds and corners left
 open on solidcore (solidcore#1438, #1439)

Wires solidcore#1597's per-session fillet options into the smlib crate's port of the capi's
round_edges and blend_call:

- solidcore#1438: a curvature-continuous blend runs the blend-curve section
  (SM_FSG_BLEND_CURVE, continuity 2) with `set_blend_curve_at_thirds` on before the edges
  are prepared, as round_edges sets SetBlendCurveAtThirds. The new case
  fillet_curvature_one_edge takes abc - 113/756 r^2 L (the quintic with its inner control
  points at thirds), to 1e-9, on both kernels.
- solidcore#1439: `smlib_blend_setback_open` sets `set_mark_corner_patches` and reads
  `corner_patch_faces` before the session drops; after the stitch each set-back corner's
  patch is the live faces (p1::faces) marked with its index, and any mark left on the body
  is removed (RemoveAttributeFromTopology). The capi's open_corners is ported: each patch's
  rim chained from the faces beside it, the patches deleted with their edges and vertices
  (DeleteFace(f, TRUE)), and the holes listed per corner point in the result's edge and
  face order. The C++ kernel's own test case (60 x 40 x 20 box, r5, set back 8) gives the
  same 9 faces, 30 edges, 22 vertices and the same twelve-edge hole on both kernels.

The module note drops the two refusals; the unsupported test keeps the variable law's
corner and the cliff.

Subject: [PATCH 071/245] smlib: the solidcore tag test names what still holds
 it back

solidcore#1568 (#1462 P1) carries a B-rep's attributes through a boolean, but the tags
`Brep::tagged` puts on the C++ body never reach solidcore: the crossing is the capi's flat
arrays, which carry no attributes (smlib.h, smlib_flat.cpp), and the history is read back
on the C++ body after the same crossing. tags_cross_a_solidcore_boolean stays ignored, its
reason now that crossing rather than solidcore.

Subject: [PATCH 072/245] smlib: a sweep along lines and arcs goes piece by
 piece on solidcore, as the capi does

SMLib 90aabff's smlib_sweep_placed sweeps a path of lines and arcs that turns with the path
(not closed, each piece leaving in the direction the one before arrives in) one segment at a
time, exactly: a line by the linear sweep, an arc by the rotational sweep, the profile
carried from each to the next, every piece's faces copied into one B-rep and stitched, the
caps the profile at both ends. The port (from solidcore#1581's head) sent that path to the
curve sweep, whose fitted walls differ from the C++ kernel's cylinder and torus. `segmented`,
`carried` and `piecewise` (with `Rigid` and `Segment`) are ported, ahead of the curve sweep.

On solidcore the second piece's copy fails: copy_faces without the merge into a B-rep that
already has faces finds no notification record for what it makes (solidcore#TBD, repro in
the bug file), so sweep_along_a_bent_path is ignored on solidcore until that is fixed.

 section curves, SM_API intersections, cut, HCR silhouettes on solids, UV trim
 checks on the surface and tiny loops oriented, projection, trimming,
 tessellated boundaries and knot removal, the fillet refusal that leaves the
 body unchanged, Cone::lean_cylinder as a cone, and the fork's WR-260, WR-550,
 WR-545, WR-543, WR-80, WR-534 and WR-532 opt-ins)

CreateParallelProjectionCurves now takes the curve itself (any of the SmBSplineCurve classes),
so smlib_project_curves passes its line, arc or B-spline as the capi's GetRootCurve() does.

b283ea2, a1ee273, e36feb1, cd85d34, 0dbe681, 8d95600), so solidcore stays with SolidCraft's C++.

Subject: [PATCH 076/245] smlib: a face's planar section runs on solidcore, as
 the capi's smlib_face_section (solidcore#1534)

SmBrep::CreatePlanarSectionCurves over the body with the 3D, UV and face outputs, the curve
tolerance as the approximation tolerance and bForceUVClassify left FALSE, as the capi calls it;
a face list not one per curve is unsupported, the picked face's curves go out as NURBS, none is
empty. The section of a lofted wall is the line across it, the same on both kernels. As the
capi leaves bForceUVClassify FALSE, a face on an analytic surface (a box's top, a cylinder's
side) has no UV curve and is trimmed away: both kernels report it empty, and the closed-form
circle on a cylinder is ignored on that.

Subject: [PATCH 079/245] smlib: solidcore's new opt-in fixes are on: sliver
 iso curves degenerate, Coons corner patches tangent to their sides, a
 fillet's own edge kept at a corner patch, the corner ball centred where the
 axes meet, one solution for a seam point, 2D boolean covers of far faces,
 area only between solid and void, a coincident definition split across the
 split point, the tight box from the interval's knots, overlapping bands
 refused, and the SSI tangent-curve tracer

Each is in the fork at develop's SMLIB_REV 1ccd4612 (tangency-labs/smlib 8088f5e, cae8618,
1072d1b, bc6ddf9, 577f7be, 67b8a1e, d2d9586, f11d0ac, 02fc29b, c0d74ee, and ef4ab25, e9fde8f,
d8c61db, 1693c9d), so solidcore stays with SolidCraft's C++.

Subject: [PATCH 083/245] smlib: solidcore's tangent-face edge check and
 horn-torus revolve opt-ins are on

edge_check_orders_tangent_faces (solidcore#1684, fork 5533bbb) and
revolve_arc_touching_axis_is_horn_torus (solidcore#1679, fork c4e378d) are
both in SMLIB_REV 1ccd4612. precise_properties_trim_base_v (solidcore#1664,
WR-563) stays off: the fork has no commit for it, so the C++ kernel still
starts the area integrals at the domain's lowest v. The flag test now names
what is held back.

Subject: [PATCH 087/245] smlib: tags and history on solidcore:
 smlib_history.cpp ported onto the Brep's attribute store

core/history.rs ports smlib_history_tag and smlib_history_read onto solidcore's
B-rep-owned AttributeStore. Each origin is an attribute of its own (its id names
the origin), so SMLib's default Split/Merge/Copy/Coincident handlers, which add
an attribute unless the object has one of its id, give the union the capi's Tag
handlers make. A face's origin carries its boundary edges then, an edge's the
points it ran through, and the read classifies Kept/Modified/Split/Merged/
Generated as the capi does.

Brep remembers the kernel that made it (history is read there; the flat arrays
carry no tags) and, for a tagged body, its operand, so the body converted for
the other kernel is tagged the same way. Blends (solidcore#1594) and drafts,
which do not carry attributes yet on solidcore, give "not supported yet" for
their history instead of an untagged one.

tags_cross_a_solidcore_boolean now passes. Parity tests against the C++ kernel:
union, subtraction, intersection, side-by-side union (merged faces), imprint,
copy and shell agree; fillet (solidcore#1594), face offset (solidcore#1060) and
draft are ignored with the reason.

+//! Face and edge history on solidcore: a port of the fork's `capi/src/smlib_history.cpp`
+//! (`smlib_history_tag`, `smlib_history_read`) onto solidcore's B-rep-owned attribute store
+//! ([`Brep::add_attribute`]), which solidcore's operations carry through their edits with SMLib's
+//! handlers: Split when a face or edge is cut in two (both children get it), Merge when two become
+//! one (the survivor gets it), Copy when an object is copied (a boolean copies the second operand
+//! into the first), Coincident where a boolean finds one operand's entity lying on the other's.
+//! New topology (a boolean's intersection edges) is made without any.
+//!
+//! The capi's Tag is one attribute holding a set of (operand, index) origins, with its own Split,
+//! Merge and Coincident handlers joining the sets where SMLib's defaults keep only one. solidcore
+//! runs SMLib's default handlers alone (no application attribute class can override them), so each
+//! origin here is an attribute of its own, its id naming the origin ([`id`]): the default
+//! handlers give an object every attribute it has no attribute of that id for, which on a set of
+//! distinct ids is the union the capi's handlers make. The face's boundary edges then (`edges`)
+//! and the edge's points then (`at`) ride on the origin's attribute.
+//!
+//! Deviations from the capi, each where its own handlers differ from the default ones:
+//! - An object that already stands for something and is copied onto (`SmAttribute::Copy`, not
+//!   overridden there) keeps only its own origins in the capi, here takes the copy's too. No
+//!   operation copies onto an object it did not just make.
+//! - A split child, or an untagged object a coincidence or merge lands on, gets the capi's Tag
+//!   without `at` (so it never counts as moved); here the origin's attribute carries its `at`
+//!   along. `at` is read only for an edge with one origin no other edge shares, which a split
+//!   edge is not unless its sibling is gone, and then the faces beside it have changed anyway.
+//!
+//! The rest is as there: the same origins, boundary records, samples and classification.

Subject: [PATCH 088/245] smlib: solidcore's four fork-carried opt-ins are on;
 only the trim base v opt-in waits

fillet_torus_span_from_start_section (WR-568, smlib@985faae), fillet_knife_edge_rounds (WR-570,
smlib@b7ec55b), taper_wall_closes_at_apex (WR-571, smlib@183ea65) and
revolution_round_offset_collapses (WR-567, smlib@8b2090f) are on: their fork commits are in

Subject: [PATCH 089/245] smlib: a draft on solidcore keeps the body's tags and
 face history

solidcore's local operation carries the B-rep's attributes since 1ee3a930c, which the pin
3569b5d73 holds, so history::tags_cross_a_draft runs again and matches the C++ draft. The draft's
body is no longer marked untracked: Brep::made_core_draft goes and ops::draft answers with
Brep::made_core, so a draft's history is read as every other solidcore operation's is.

Subject: [PATCH 090/245] smlib: a face section on solidcore cuts planes,
 cylinders, cones and spheres too (solidcore#1769)

The port asks CreatePlanarSectionCurves for UV curves, so it now forces the UV classify: an
analytic face's intersector makes no UV curve, and without the flag the trim dropped the whole
section and the call answered Empty. SmBrep.h documents the flag for exactly this case. The
capi still leaves it FALSE, so the C++ kernel keeps answering Empty on analytic faces; the
parity test now holds the port to the section there and to the C++ curves on the loft.

a_cylinder_side_section_is_its_circle is un-ignored; a_box_top_section_is_the_line_across_it
checks the line (5,0,10)-(5,10,10) across a 10 mm box's top.

Subject: [PATCH 093/245] smlib: history on solidcore: a face whose edge is
 only cut by a vertex is Kept (fork 1c7accd)

Ports tangency-labs/smlib@1c7accd's capi/src/smlib_history.cpp change into
core/history.rs `read`: a face is Kept when the pieces of each of its edges
are all on its boundary and together lie where the edge lay (between its
ends, through the points it ran through), not only while each edge is still
whole. `moved` now takes all pieces of one edge: their odd-count vertices
are the edge's ends (none for a closed edge, whose end some piece still ends
on), and each recorded point lies on one of them. The capi's Split handler
now gives an untagged split child the split edge's `at`, which the
attribute-per-origin port already did; the module note says so.

Test a_face_whose_edge_is_only_cut_by_a_vertex_is_kept: a bar imprinted
across a 40 x 30 x 20 block's top cuts the top edges of y = 0 and y = 30 by
a vertex each; both kernels give the block's other five faces Kept, none
Modified, and the same history.

Subject: [PATCH 094/245] solidcore: move the pin to bba8d8798 (main, with
 solidcore#1747 application attribute handlers)

Merged since 43ed10e54:
- #1747 application-defined attribute handlers (AttributeHandlers, Attribute::application,
  application_value; fixes #1730)
- #1722 CreateUVTrimCurve's 101-point drop measures each point's surface distance
- #1763 opt-in local operation closes walls that shrink to nothing (WR-566)
- #1759 opt-in full-width blend-curve round revolved on an arc (WR-581, #919)
- #1750 opt-in imprint reuses a face's coincident edge (WR-580, #1519)
- #1488 iso curve at a knot above the degree is upstream's zero curve
- #1309 heal.gap evaluates the exact raw-knot UV trim curve
- #1708 reuse the same geometry object where upstream does (clone audit, part 2)
- #1714 a linear sweep tests its curve for an arc to the cylinder check's zero (fork fd59111)
- #1685 find_infinite_region propagates internal errors
- #1686 curve owners kept when classification edits write back
- #1777 bspline_surface_part is public (#1767); #1778 loopuse::notify_ref is public (#1766)
- docs: #1770 (planar section force_uv_classify, #1769), #1683 (curve sweep from faces)
- tests: #1443, #1713, #1275
- difftests: #1265, #1296, #1391, #1555, #1689, #1698, #1700, #1707, #1723, #1729, #1745, #1771
- site: #1804

main's CI test job passed on bba8d8798; its difftest jobs stop on an sccache-action rate limit and
main does not build with --features cpp (solidcore#1805), which SolidCraft does not use.

their fork commits are in SMLIB_REV f8fd83e2. fillet_blend_curve_revolved_on_arc (WR-581,
solidcore#1759) is an own design with no fork commit yet, so it goes on HELD_BACK.

Subject: [PATCH 096/245] smlib: tag history on solidcore is one application
 Tag per object, with the capi's handlers

solidcore#1747 lets an application attribute class override SMLib's handlers
(AttributeHandlers, Attribute::application), so history on solidcore now carries the capi's Tag
(smlib_history.cpp at tangency-labs/smlib f8fd83e2) as it is: one attribute of id
SM_AI_USER_1 + 7 per face or edge holding its origins, boundary edges and `at`, copy behaviour.
Split sets an untagged child to the split object's tag with its `at` (the fork's 1c7accd) and
joins it into a tagged one; Merge joins the tags on the sources other than the result; Coincident
joins into the target; Copy is SMLib's default. join leaves `at` alone, or adds a Tag without one
in place of whatever attribute of that id was there.

The two deviations the per-origin Generic attributes had are gone: a copy onto an object that
already has a tag now keeps that tag only, and an untagged object a merge or coincidence lands on
gets a tag with no `at`.

New C++ parity tests: a post subtracted from the cube it stands on, and a cube subtracted from
the one beside it, copy onto tagged entities (both fail on the per-origin port); a post imprinted
against a cube's side splits the top's edge into three, each piece lying where the edge lay, so
the side is Kept.

-//! runs SMLib's default handlers alone (no application attribute class can override them), so each
-//! origin here is an attribute of its own, its id naming the origin ([`id`]): the default
-//! handlers give an object every attribute it has no attribute of that id for, which on a set of
-//! distinct ids is the union the capi's handlers make. The face's boundary edges then (`edges`)
-//! and the edge's points then (`at`) ride on the origin's attribute.
-//!
-//! Deviations from the capi, each where its own handlers differ from the default ones:
-//! - An object that already stands for something and is copied onto (`SmAttribute::Copy`, not
-//!   overridden there) keeps only its own origins in the capi, here takes the copy's too. No
-//!   operation copies onto an object it did not just make.
-//! - An untagged object a coincidence or merge lands on gets the capi's Tag without `at` (so it
-//!   never counts as moved); here the origin's attribute carries its `at` along. A split child
-//!   gets the split edge's `at` in both (the capi's Split handler sets it on an untagged child),
-//!   so either piece of a split edge can tell where the edge lay.
-//!
-//! The rest is as there: the same origins, boundary records, samples and classification.
+//! The capi's `Tag` is one application attribute ([`Attribute::application`]) per face or edge,
+//! with the capi's own handlers ([`AttributeHandlers`]): a split child, a merge's result and the
+//! entity a coincidence lands on join the origins in, where SMLib's defaults keep only one; a copy
+//! is SMLib's default. The data, the handlers and the reading are the capi's.

Subject: [PATCH 097/245] smlib: an extruded profile's arcs on one circle sweep
 one wall face on solidcore
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Ports tangency-labs/smlib 7dee48f (capi/src/smlib_sweeps.cpp, one_wall_per_circle) to
the solidcore extrude: before a straight sweep, each run of consecutive arcs of a loop on
one circle (centres and radii within the zone tolerance, axes alike at the rim) becomes one
arc; a loop made only of such arcs is the full circle, its seam at the drawn circle's start
when the arcs share its frame, else at the middle of the longest arc. Draft, revolve and the
other sweeps are unchanged.

Tests: a circle drawn as two halves (one frame) and as a quarter plus three quarters (two
frames) extrude to 3 faces, 3 edges, 2 vertices with one cylinder, area 150π and volume
250π, on solidcore and on the C++ kernel (parity on counts and kinds); a half disc whose arc
is two quarters gives one curved wall, 4/6/4, area 75π + 100. Its kinds parity is ignored:
solidcore sweeps any partial arc (a single half arc too) to a surface of extrusion where the
C++ kernel makes a cylinder.

Subject: [PATCH 100/245] smlib: solidcore's four new fork-carried opt-ins are
 on; the trimmed face tight box waits

boolean_new_face_closure_both_sides (WR-584, smlib@69c5198), linear_sweep_arc_is_cylinder
(#1477, smlib@12918e9), offset_closes_loop_gaps (WR-578, smlib@7ff0a94 and 34318f4) and
cylinder_plane_tangent_within_tolerance (WR-510, #1525; smlib#55, squash-merged as c2f1788 with
SmCone.cpp as in the bd20f6e the flag cites) are on: their fork commits are in SMLIB_REV 68fb9162.
face_tight_box_searches_trim (WR-588, solidcore#1811) is the fork's beb6061 from smlib#68, which
landed after 68fb9162, so it goes on HELD_BACK. The three held-back flags have no fork commit in
68fb9162 yet.

Subject: [PATCH 101/245] smlib: the quarter-cylinder sheet offset and the
 half-disc extrude match the C++ kernel on solidcore

offset_sheet_quarter_cylinder (both solidcore tests) and extrude_half_disc_split_arc's
solidcore_matches_the_cpp_kernel pass: solidcore#1495's linear_sweep_arc_is_cylinder (fork
12918e9, now on) sweeps the partial arc to an SmCylinder as the C++ kernel does (solidcore#1477).

Subject: [PATCH 105/245] smlib: a blend on solidcore has a history, as on the
 C++ kernel

solidcore#1594 carries the body's attributes through its fillets, so a solidcore blend's faces
and edges keep their tags. Brep::made_core_blend, which marked a solidcore blend's history
untracked ("not supported yet: the history of a blend on solidcore (solidcore#1594)"), goes:
solidcore's blends are made_core bodies, as its other operations' are, and Brep::history reads
them. tags_cross_a_fillet runs again, and tags_cross_a_chamfer joins it: one edge of a box
rounded or chamfered keeps the bottom and back, trims the top, front and sides and makes the
blend face, on both kernels, with the same history face by face.

Subject: [PATCH 107/245] smlib: copies and transforms on solidcore
 (smlib_brep_copy, smlib_brep_transform), routed by Op::Transform

A port of the fork capi's smlib_brep_copy and smlib_brep_transform: SmApiBrepCopy, then
SmBrep::Transform(matrix, TRUE) on the copy (solidcore's transform_matrix). Brep::try_clone and
Brep::transformed take it when Op::Transform runs on solidcore; the default stays SMLib.
Closed-form, C++ parity, hostile-matrix and history tests.

Subject: [PATCH 108/245] smlib: Split Face and Split Body on solidcore
 (smlib_split_faces, smlib_split_body), routed by Op::Split

A port of the fork capi's smlib_split.cpp: faces cut where tool surfaces meet them
(CreatePlanarSectionCurves for a plane reaching over the face, GlobalSurfaceIntersect otherwise,
then MergeCurvesOnSurface with the tool), and a solid sliced (SM_BO_SLICE) by a one-face sheet
on the tool, once turned over. A tool Surface keeps its constructor's description, from which
solidcore makes its own surface as smlib_ssi.cpp makes SMLib's. Closed-form, C++ parity,
hostile-argument and history tests.

+//! Split Face and Split Body on solidcore: the C API's composition, ported from the fork's
+//! `capi/src/smlib_split.cpp` (`smlib_split_faces`, `smlib_split_body`, `cut_face`,
+//! `plane_covers`, `copy_of`) and the tool surfaces of `capi/src/smlib_ssi.cpp`
+//! (`smlib_surface_plane`, `_cylinder`, `_cone`, `_sphere`, `_torus`, `_nurbs`).
+//!
+//! As there, every operation works on copies of its body (`SmApiBrepCopy`). A face is cut where
+//! a tool meets it the way SMLib's plane cutter cuts a subset of faces: the face's surface is
+//! intersected with the tool over the face's UV domain (`CreatePlanarSectionCurves` for a plane
+//! reaching over the face, `GlobalSurfaceIntersect` otherwise) and the untrimmed curves go to
+//! `SmBrep::MergeCurvesOnSurface` with the tool as the intersecting surface. Unlike the plane
+//! cutter, a failed merge fails the call. A body is split by slicing (`SM_BO_SLICE`) copies of it
+//! with a one-face sheet on the tool surface, once with the surface turned over.
+//!
+//! A tool is a [`crate::ssi::Surface`]; solidcore's own surface is made from its description
+//! ([`Spec`]), as `smlib_ssi.cpp` makes SMLib's, over the surface's natural UV domain.

Subject: [PATCH 109/245] smlib: stitch and merge faces on solidcore
 (smlib_stitch, smlib_merge_faces), routed by Op::Split

A port of the fork capi's smlib_stitch (StitchFaces at the caller's tolerance, once, then
OrientTrimmedSurfaces; not StitchAndOrient) and smlib_merge_faces (the kept edges picked by
point, then RemoveTopologicalEdgesAndVertices and finish). Closed-form, C++ parity,
hostile-argument and history tests.

Subject: [PATCH 110/245] smlib: untrim and extend on solidcore
 (smlib_untrim_face, smlib_extend_sheet), routed by Op::Split

A port of the fork capi's smlib_untrim.cpp (holes taken away with DeleteInnerLoop, the outer
boundary back on the surface's box with the kept holes rebuilt by MakeVertexLoop and
MakeEdgeInFace) and smlib_extend.cpp (CreateExtendedSurface corrected to the distance across the
side's middle, CopyAndAddAnalytics, a cone or cylinder continued naturally kept analytic).

An untrim of a face out of its body (in_place = 0) is not supported yet on solidcore: its
CopyFaces through the merge copies nothing (the merge copy's failure is ignored). Those cases'
solidcore tests are ignored; their C++ closed-form tests run. Closed-form, C++ parity,
hostile-argument and history tests.

+//! Untrim and extend on solidcore: the C API's `smlib_untrim_face` and `smlib_extend_sheet`,
+//! ported from the fork's `capi/src/smlib_untrim.cpp` (`face_at`, `loop_distance`,
+//! `copy_attributes`, `analytic`, `span_of`, `pieces_of`, `is_disc`, `rebuild_hole`) and
+//! `capi/src/smlib_extend.cpp` (`on_side`, `eval`, `nearest_edge`, `is_boundary`, `side_edge`,
+//! `across`, `cone_continued`, `same_patch`).
+//!
+//! A face restored towards its surface. Picked inner loops (holes) are taken away with
+//! `SmFace::DeleteInnerLoop` on a copy where they are lamina; the outer boundary goes back to a
+//! parameter box of the surface (`SmBrep::CreateFaceFromSurface`), and the holes kept are rebuilt
+//! in that face from their own edges' curves and intervals (`MakeVertexLoop`, `MakeEdgeInFace`:
+//! closing a loop splits off the face inside it, which is deleted). The new face and the rebuilt
+//! edges take the attributes of the face and edges they stand for, so the history tags carry
+//! through.
+//!
+//! A sheet is extended by SMLib's extension of its surface (`CreateExtendedSurface`: its end
+//! spans continued, or a G1 or G2 run-off), the distance asked of it corrected until the
+//! extension measures the distance across the side's middle; `CopyAndAddAnalytics` gives the
+//! result back its analytic kind, and a cone or cylinder continued naturally stays the analytic
+//! widened. The new face and each of its sides take the attributes of the face and side they
+//! continue.
+//!
+//! An untrim of a face out of its body (`in_place` false) copies the face into a body of its own
+//! through `SmBrep::CopyFaces` with the merge; solidcore's copies nothing yet (the merge copy's
+//! failure is ignored), so that path is [`Error::Unsupported`] until it does.

Subject: [PATCH 111/245] smlib: solidcore's check counts no SmBrep test 21
 warning, as the capi's does

The capi's smlib_brep_check (smlib_check.cpp, `advisory`) skips SmBrep test 21,
"Suspicious Shell Count": a warning AssertValid reports without failing. The
solidcore port counted it, so a sheet of faces offset apart across a sharp edge
(one shell per face, rightly) was refused after the stitch whenever the Check
family ran on solidcore (surfaces/cov-offset-two-faces-across-a-sharp-edge-come-apart).

Subject: [PATCH 112/245] smlib: closed_nonmanifold on solidcore takes a failed
 edge query as false, as the capi does

The capi's closed_nonmanifold (smlib_ops.cpp) returns false for an edge that
is null or whose GetEdgeuses fails; the port propagated the error, failing the
boolean instead of reporting it not solid. The per-edge test is now
`edge_closes`, which takes either failed query as false.

Subject: [PATCH 115/245] smlib: a blend at a corner no type handles is
 CornerUnsupported on solidcore, as on C++

The capi's blend_failure maps SM_FILERR_CORNER_UNSUPPORTED to
SMLIB_ERR_CORNER_UNSUPPORTED. solidcore notes that code (with
fixes.fillet_vertex_error_diagnostics, which we turn on) when
CreateFilletCorners leaves a vertex without a corner, but the port's
blend_failure mapped only NoRoom, so such a blend failed with the bare
status 1001 (fillets/1390-chamfer-hole-rim-touching-bottom). The note is
kept through the later step that fails because of it, as solidcore's own
FilletSession::do_fillet keeps it.

Subject: [PATCH 116/245] smlib: Split Face on solidcore intersects a face's
 surface through its face's cache

cut_face intersected the face's surface with a non-plane tool (or a plane strip) by a plain
global_surface_intersect on an evaluation copy of the face's surface. That copy keeps its face
owner, and solidcore refuses a trimmed cache for a face-owned surface reached without the
B-rep ("TrimSrfCache::build_tree_with_face for a face-owned surface", Unported), so a B-spline
face cut by plane strips (surface.trim with sketch lines on a spline sheet) failed with "SMLib
cannot build this exactly". The C++ reaches the face through face->GetSurface(); the port now
solves through the B-rep's BrepFaceServices with the face's cache handle, as solidcore's own
face_planar_section_curves does.

Subject: [PATCH 123/245] smlib: classify_point runs on solidcore (capi
 34d6b2b)

SmBrep::Point3DClassify at the body's zone tolerance through solidcore's BrepClassifier; test
points_classify_as_the_capi mirrors the capi's cases, with C++ parity under native.

The overflow-first rounds need the fork's cliff overflow, which solidcore has not ported: on
solidcore the rounds blend together and no pick is dropped.

Subject: [PATCH 125/245] smlib: a knife edge's chamfer is the chord of the
 ball of radius the distance (capi e96898d)

chamfer_radius takes the distance itself at a cusp; test knife_edge_chamfers against the capi's
closed form (not yet run).

Subject: [PATCH 126/245] smlib: stitch closes a sheet sewn onto a solid's
 edges into it (capi e5d9bba)

Port of the capi's close_onto_shared_edges in core/merge.rs: edges still free after the manifold
stitch are glued at the same tolerance to the edges they lie on, whatever uses those
(allow_spine_edges), on a copy. Faces then between two material regions go. The copy is kept when
no edge has more than two faces. A gluing that leaves fewer material regions than it found is
refused with Error::Unsupported.

Tests in core/merge_tests.rs mirror capi/tests/sheets.cpp, on solidcore and on C++: a biquadratic
cover over a 10 mm cube sews into a closed solid of 6 faces and 1100 mm^3; a bicubic cover lying
on the top is refused; a flap off a top edge stays beside the cube, 7 faces, 1000 mm^3, 700 mm^2.

face_tight_box_searches_trim lacks fork 326de73 and good_drop_result_distances_in_order lacks
eaa998a's tight convergence test. With them on, 15 thread cases fail on their tight box and the

Subject: [PATCH 129/245] smlib: C++ bodies cross solidcore and come back with
 the C++ kernel's own arrays

C++ -> arrays -> solidcore -> arrays -> C++ over a filleted box, a holed plate,
a swept B-spline, an ellipse edge, a sealed void, sheets, wire edges with a point
shell, two lumps and a shelled rounded box. The reference is the C++ kernel's own
crossing, which itself moves trims by about 1e-7 on a shelled box; tolerances and
EXTENT are excepted, and the test says why. No port difference found.

Subject: [PATCH 130/245] smlib: a draft that moved no face is NoEffect on
 solidcore too

Port the capi's moved_faces (smlib_ops.cpp:156-165, :1078), its mark on the picked
faces as solidcore#1875/#1877 lay out, since a surface has no identity apart from
its owning face. The reason it was skipped (solidcore#1462) was stale. No draft
found reaches SMLIB_ERR_NO_EFFECT on C++, so the parity test holds the same answer,
volume and counts over the nearest cases, and a unit test holds the reading.

Subject: [PATCH 132/245] smlib: an offset edge that vanishes is Unsupported,
 as the capi's status says

Found comparing drafts while checking M2: the capi's status (smlib_shim.h:82) answers
SM_ERR_OFFSET_EDGE_VANISHES (1043) as SMLIB_ERR_UNSUPPORTED; the port passed on Status(1043).

Subject: [PATCH 133/245] smlib: a failed closest point in history's moved
 counts as off the piece

smlib_history.cpp:246 counts any failure of SmApiEdgeClosestPoint as off the piece, so
the face is Modified. The port passed on an error that was no status, which failed a
boolean that had succeeded. An edge without its curve shows it.

Subject: [PATCH 134/245] smlib: history parity over closed edges, seams, three
 operands, sheets and merges

Closed edges including moved()'s open.is_empty() branch, a curved face split across its
seam, union_all of three, merges with several origins on each side, sheet offset, a
curved sheet's thicken and a shell of a cylinder match C++. Two tests are ignored for
solidcore differences written up apart: boolean_2d carries no attributes, and a flat
sheet's thicken loses the edge tags on the sheet's side.

Subject: [PATCH 136/245] smlib: route offset_faces to solidcore's
 OffsetFacesExecutive; named() keys are (kind+1)<<32|index

The keys no longer collide past arena index 1,000,000 (test at that index). Un-ignores offset_faces_top_out and tags_cross_a_face_offset (solidcore #1890, #1895).

Subject: [PATCH 137/245] smlib: flags at solidcore 42aab6a6d, cliff refusals
 by NoRoomReason, overflow-first ordering

Flags on: fillet_cliff_overflow, fillet_3x2_tangent_side_edge_roles, offset_extension_as_itself, fillet_mitre_concave_face_corners (fork commits in SMLIB_REV 2fc375f). Held back: the port's own fixes with no fork commit. Ports capi blend_call / overflow_first (fork 241f7ba) onto the hooks of solidcore #1929, with blend_dropping routed. From ws/cliff-1905: blend_failure on NoRoomReason, fillet_over_a_cliff un-ignored, a_cliff_overflow_the_fork_refuses_has_no_room.

Subject: [PATCH 139/245] smlib: an L sheet's thicken parity test, ignored for
 a solidcore refusal

C++ makes the closed form, 840 mm3. thicken_planar_side_walls makes solidcore answer
Unported "SmFace handle of a surface's face". Written up apart.

Subject: [PATCH 140/245] smlib: convert: process kernel for wire edges, unheld
 surfaces refused, conics make their NURB

L1: GetWireEdges uses the process kernel, not a fresh default one.
L3: a face whose surface the B-rep's list does not hold is refused, as smlib_flat.cpp:1520.
L4: a hyperbola or parabola without its NURB makes one on a copy, as GetOrCreateGwNurbPointer.
L5: every rejection of the C++ Validate is in ours, read line by line; a mutation test against
the C++ kernel holds it.

Subject: [PATCH 144/245] smlib: hold back the overflow-first ordering; mitre
 oracles and two solidcore repros

The ordering (fork 241f7ba) is ported but off (OVERFLOW_GOES_FIRST): solidcore's cliff overflow loses the attributes of target edges its subtraction replaces, so a shortened picked edge reads as removed and is silently not rounded (2 rig cases wrong). Tests: the capi's rounds_at_a_concave_face_corner_are_mitred; overflow_goes_first (ignored, gives 6107.529369565 with it on); two ignored solidcore-only repros.

Subject: [PATCH 151/245] Turn on the tight box and low angle start flags, hold
 the rest with what was checked

`face_tight_box_searches_trim` goes on now that solidcore#1961 brings fork 326de73.
`ssi_low_angle_start_on_probation` goes on: fork 30d25bf was rebased to 1f5c0f7, in SMLIB_REV.
Three port fixes and the new `extent3d_contains_both_segment_endpoints` stay held: the defects are
still in the fork's source at 2fc375f.

`measure::check` no longer matches `check_brep`'s operation string. solidcore does not raise that
error (a Caller body without keys is checked under arena identities), so the arm was dead; the
refusal is decided on the typed `NamingScheme` alone, and a test holds it there.

Subject: [PATCH 153/245] Turn on the variable round, crossing and status
 flags; test #871, ring and lip, step wall

On, their fork commits in SMLIB_REV: `fillet_variable_span_follows_fillet` (4438859),
`simple_coincidence_crossing_is_point` (c2e3d9d), and from solidcore#1775 the statuses whose fork
passes do what the flag does: `boolean_temporary_transform_statuses` (e7ebc8d),
`primitive_path_curve_statuses`, `planar_path_sweep_statuses` and
`planar_path_profile_placement_statuses` (c8f6a31), `fillet_trim_status` (9b7cd48). The last two
were held as having no fork commit, which was wrong.

Held: `fillet_corner_statuses`, `fillet_edge_curve_domain_statuses`,
`offset_tangent_gap_statuses`, `ssi_alignment_statuses` (the fork carries on softly where these
refuse) and `translation_sweep_regularize` (no fork commit).

Subject: [PATCH 154/245] Route every operation family to solidcore by default

The routing table now sends each family to solidcore; the C++ SMLib kernel is an opt-in
(SOLIDCRAFT_KERNEL=smlib, the Geometry kernel preference, SOLIDCRAFT_KERNEL_ROUTES). Native .smb
files stay on SMLib here; the next commit moves them. Fallout follows in separate commits.

Subject: [PATCH 157/245] smlib: no unrouted C++ path on solidcore; .smb files
 move too

Native files run on solidcore through its public api_files (each kernel reads the other's, in both
forms). face_points routes with Split, pcurves with Convert, and an ssi::Surface no longer needs the
C API: its arguments are checked here as the C API checks them, and the C side is made only when a
family on the C++ kernel asks. intersect, domain and evaluate have no solidcore path and refuse with
Error::NotOnSolidcore. Planar region booleans and the rig CLI no longer need the smlib feature.

Tests that exercise the C++ kernel opt in per thread (route::on_cpp), so parity tests keep comparing
two kernels instead of solidcore with itself.

Subject: [PATCH 158/245] Rig: kernel-cases runs on solidcore unless told
 otherwise

--kernel smlib and both remain. --known-failing still grades the SMLib side, whose lists these are,
so it needs that said, and the CI gates opt in. The ladder takes --kernel for its one backend.

Subject: [PATCH 160/245] Audit the held flags against the fork's source;
 tabbed plate and mitred rounds parity

Reading the fork at SMLIB_REV finds `perspective_sphere_offsets` is there (709c5be: the cull projects
each sphere's own radius from its centre), so it goes on. The new
`gap_samples_use_trimmed_spans` and `twist_simple_duw_sign` are held: upstream's defects are still in
the fork.

The tabbed plate and #1997's rounded box are compared with the C++ kernel. `sweeps::List` is visible
to the crate for that.

Subject: [PATCH 161/245] Profiler: a span per solidcore call, in a category of
 its own

The smlib category times the C API's calls, so on the new default the kernel's calls went unseen.

Subject: [PATCH 162/245] Offsets go through solidcore's simple calls; ignored
 tests cite solidcore issues

`shell_brep_simple`, `offset_brep_simple` and `local_operation_simple` carry the same options and
the source's attributes, so the 120 lines of key domains and notification stores in core/offset.rs
go (gap-audit D2). The held-flags comment now says what each flag's fork code does. Ignored tests cite
solidcore#1980, #1462, #1973 and #1981 instead of local files.

Subject: [PATCH 163/245] smlib: SSI on solidcore, its failure dumps and call
 in flight; rows that are true

ssi::intersect, domain and evaluate run on solidcore (global and advanced; the basic intersector has
no public entry and says so), and ssi_corpus scores both kernels: six cases C++ passes are listed as
solidcore's misses. A failing solidcore call now leaves its B-rep inputs and what failed, and
current_call names the running call without a lock. Op::History and Op::Flat, read by nothing, are
gone from the table, so diagnostics.kernel reports only what is true.

A guard test keeps the list of entry points: with no C++ kernel each answers, but for the C++ kernel's
own arrays. route::on_cpp now fails a test that never reached C++.

Subject: [PATCH 164/245] Rig gate grades the kernel given

--known-failing follows the run's kernel: KNOWN_FAILING.solidcore for the default and the CI gates,
KNOWN_FAILING for --kernel smlib. The solidcore lists come with the final pin. Also fixes the --route
test for the new default.

Subject: [PATCH 166/245] Turn on plane_recognition_origin_after_axes

The fork places a recognized plane's origin after squaring its axes (0286682, in SMLIB_REV;
SmPlane.cpp:2836-2852 at 2fc375f), and solidcore#2004 brings the same behind this flag. It closes
sweeps/4305's Bad Gap and moves sweeps/5037 to SMLib's volume.

Subject: [PATCH 167/245] Solidcore known-failing lists at pin 9dde25e97;
 ladder gate stays on the C++ kernel

KNOWN_FAILING.solidcore lists the 24 cases that fail on the default kernel, 23 of them also on SMLib's
list. The ladder golden is the C++ kernel's and solidcore differs on one case, so that gate opts in.

Subject: [PATCH 169/245] Pin 7: decide the new solidcore flags against the
 fork

On: fillet_corner_face_curve_halves, brep_edit_statuses_pass_on,
fillet_run_on_bspline_trims, offset_tangent_gap_statuses and ssi_alignment_statuses
(both soft like the fork since solidcore#2017). The other new flags are held back,
each with the fork's source as the reason.

Subject: [PATCH 170/245] Held flags re-read at SMLib 26cc451: none changes

Each held flag's fork site is untouched by 2fc375f..26cc451. The capi's
mitre rule (fork 9ba2b12) has no solidcore call to read yet; noted at
OVERFLOW_GOES_FIRST.

Subject: [PATCH 171/245] boolean2d through boolean_2d, typed edge-vanishes,
 typed put-back refusal

boolean2d goes through api_brep::boolean_2d, SM_ERR_OFFSET_EDGE_VANISHES through
is_offset_edge_vanishes (solidcore#2016). A mitred round that cannot be put back
(solidcore#2027) is Error::Unsupported. The tests held for solidcore#1462, #1973,
#1980 and #1981 run again. copy_of stays as it is: results of offset_faces on a
brep_copy (NamingScheme::Notify) fail check_brep.

Subject: [PATCH 173/245] Tests known to fail, one list per kernel; untrim
 carries history tags; fix two tests

KNOWN_FAILING_TESTS is now solidcore's, the default; KNOWN_FAILING_TESTS.smlib keeps
the C++ kernel's. A face copied out for untrimming now carries its tags on solidcore.
The profile test accepts either kernel's spans; ssi_corpus skips a kernel the
environment overrides.

 - `cargo xtask test` builds with the `ci` profile and runs every test binary at once; arguments after `--` go to each binary (`cargo xtask test -- shell`). It builds several times faster than `--release`; a test failing only in a debug build: say so in the PR.

Subject: [PATCH 175/245] Hold back fillet_refuse_crossing_rails: not in the
 fork

The fork has no such check: SmFilletExecutive.cpp:3654 stops overlapping bands,
which stays on. Off, 5 of the 12 action-matrix failures on solidcore pass (oracle/28,
30, 36, 54, typical/filleted-shelled-box's fillet), each failing with the flag's
closest-point query's 1001; the rig does not move.

analytic_inversion_answers_apart, fillet_statuses_pass_on, fillet_corner_per_vertex_fan,
fillet_rail_trim_at_near_knot, and fillet_corner_statuses and fillet_edge_curve_domain_statuses
(both soft like the fork since solidcore#2036). Held, the fork keeps upstream's code:
proto_edge_split_upper_keeps_the_old_max, point_on_start_point_squared_tolerance.

Subject: [PATCH 181/245] A round mitred to one that overflows goes first with
 it (fork 9ba2b12); flags() and warnings

overflow_first takes the mitred pairs of the stopped call (solidcore#2045's mitred_edges) and
grows the rounds that go first through every mitre, as the capi's. The flag test reads
UpstreamFixes::flags (solidcore#2024), and the check's own filter of SMLib's warning gives way to
AssertReport::is_warning (solidcore#2023).

 behaviour)

The fork at 26cc451 offsets four faces at a vertex to two vertices joined by a new edge, as the
flag does, by another route. On, the rig's two drain floors pass, at SMLib's volumes within 4e-15,
and nothing else moves.

Subject: [PATCH 185/245] Every solidcore fix on unless it appears broken
 (brett19's rule)

The rule that a flag goes on only if the fork has it is gone: differing from SMLib is no evidence
against a fix. All 32 held flags are on, fillet_refuse_crossing_rails with solidcore#2053 among them.
HELD_BACK now takes only a flag shown broken, with its case and numbers.

 3078's check

With it on sheet-metal/3078 fails SmBSplineCurve::Test #15 Bad Repeated CPts; held off the case passes,
same volume. Holding it is the case the new rule asks for: a check failure.

Subject: [PATCH 190/245] Offset tests: both kernels refuse a top moved -9; the
 sphere to its centre waits on solidcore

The C++ kernel at 26cc451 refuses the moved top at -9, as ours does. #2027's numbers need 4.7e-9 at
-7.5, not 1e-6. offset_splits_corner_vertices makes the sphere moved to its centre fail with 1001 rather
than an empty result: ignored with the reason until solidcore answers it.

Subject: [PATCH 192/245] HELD_BACK: geometric_g2_continuity is a fourfold
 slowdown on 2992, not a hang

Run alone, 2992 ends in 121 s with the flag on, whichever way the rational-span flag is, and in 31 s off.

Subject: [PATCH 195/245] Working copies by solidcore's brep_copy, not our own
 key domains (#2047 fixed by #2055)

copy_of named each copy in its own key domain with no naming scheme of its own; brep_copy gives a Notify
copy. A split then marks the body Caller: with_kernel_callbacks names the cut's new edge curves by the
kernel's identities, which it records, and the check reads owners by the body's naming (Test #61). Rig
level: 939/974, no status or volume change.

Subject: [PATCH 197/245] Remove the basic surface intersector; the default
 path's guard runs on native builds

Method::Basic and Error::NotOnSolidcore are gone. The walk over every kernel
entry point now also runs built with the C++ kernel, and fails if the default
path touches a C++ body.

Subject: [PATCH 199/245] Dump folder and crash report don't touch the C++
 kernel when nothing runs on it

set_dump_dir started the C++ kernel on every call, and the rig calls it per case.
Both now ask the C++ side only when a family is routed there.

Subject: [PATCH 200/245] Turn on solidcore's new fixes and take the
 rational-span flag off HELD_BACK

New on: fillet_exact_round_classes, curve_check_zero_speed_tangent_end,
cpoly_remove_poly_face_check_member, check_seam_crossing_unclosed, ascii_doubles_round_trip.
bspline_trim_keeps_rational_end_spans: sheet-metal/3078 passes its check with it on since
solidcore#2097, volume unchanged (31362.04580633055). geometric_g2_continuity stays held:
the fix for solidcore#2091 (#2108) has not merged.

Subject: [PATCH 206/245] A blend's pick measures close edges on their curves,
 not their polylines

A polyline can be a chord off its edge, more than two edges are apart near a
tangent point. A pick exactly on a ball's rim took the straight edge the rim is
tangent to, and solidcore built a chamfer of that edge with a clean check.

Subject: [PATCH 207/245] Known-failing tests: refreshed from the default run
 at solidcore de85a3e00

Seven lines passed at this pin and go (the pleats, the corner rounds wider than their faces, the
B-spline patch offset); the action matrix is down to the 3 actions that also fail on C++, and the
naming corpus to oracle/83, also as on C++. The chamfer line says what happens now that the pick
takes the rim. Three lines name an issue still to be filed.

Subject: [PATCH 208/245] Rig: --route is gone; a run has one kernel

The per-family runs (`solidcore[boolean,measure]`) needed the process to mix kernels, which the
kernel choice is about to stop doing. --route is refused with a message, so a script that still
passes it does not run as something else. The report's labels went with it.

Subject: [PATCH 209/245] One kernel flag: solidcore, the default, or smlib;
 routed is gone

The process runs on one kernel, so `Choice` and the routing table (`Op`, `Overrides`,
SOLIDCRAFT_KERNEL_ROUTES) go, and every call asks `route::backend()`. SOLIDCRAFT_KERNEL takes smlib or
solidcore as before.

- The preference offers solidcore and SMLib. A saved `routed` loads as solidcore without an error;
  asked for now, by ui.prefs or diagnostics.kernel, it is refused. Another unknown saved value stays
  as saved and runs on the default, as it did.
- diagnostics.kernel answers {choice, environment}. `smlib` on a build without the C++ kernel, wasm
  included, is refused as not available, never answered by the other kernel; a saved `smlib` there
  says so on the status line and the preference page.
- The conversion between kernels stays: a body computed before the choice changed still needs it, and
  so do the parity tests.

The notes' translations in 6 languages and the new message's are machine-written, not reviewed.

Subject: [PATCH 212/245] Model cache: a saved model is its kernel's

The cache key did not name the kernel, so a design saved on solidcore opened under SOLIDCRAFT_KERNEL=smlib showed solidcore's bodies, and the other way round. Case fillets/report-fillet-concave-arc-and-front-top-edge-together-r7-solver-residues: saved on solidcore and opened on C++ gave volume 9446.261 (C++ evaluates 9453.338); saved on C++ and opened on solidcore gave 9453.338 (solidcore evaluates 9446.261). The manifest now records the kernel and a cache of another kernel, or of none, is a miss: the design is evaluated on the kernel in force.

 solidcore as on C++

Rebuilt from CI's PR selection (nextest, ci profile) on 4a98a1f8a, x86_64: 20 failed of 11424. Every line already listed still fails; action_matrix_sample stays listed (CI's filter excludes it); the i18n failure is fixed in 9c2388ef8. The four tests main added fail with the same messages as on C++, where smlib's list has them.

Subject: [PATCH 217/245] Turn on solidcore's new fixes at c931c9641

Thirty-three new UpstreamFixes flags, none shown broken: on the rig on
solidcore no case loses its status, no volume moves by more than 6e-9
relative, and the slower cases of a loaded run time as before when run
alone. One case, the round of cylinders touching at a point, now passes
(ssi_split_curves_at_singular_points, solidcore#2110). Among them are the
fixes for solidcore#2174 (offset_open_edge_second_trim_point), #2176
(fillet_round_ends_at_tangent_continuation) and #2177
(close_loop_relates_only_coincident_edges).

the same result (volume 7e-10 apart). The whole rig on solidcore with it
on keeps every status and moves one other volume by 1e-12. HELD_BACK is

Subject: [PATCH 219/245] Known failures after the new fixes: four tests and a
 rig case pass

They pass now and are un-listed: the convex-edge chamfer refused as too
large (solidcore#2175), the thickened spherical cap (#2174), the
thickened B-spline patch (#2111), the extrude reading back the region
clicked (#2177), and the rig's round of cylinders touching at a point
(#2110). solidcore now passes the six self-crossing intersection cases
it missed against the C++ kernel (ssi_split_curves_at_singular_points:
off, they miss again), so the corpus test asks for no miss at all.

Listed: the moved-top offset test's C++ comparison, as solidcore's
offset edges keep their tolerances and the pinned C++ kernel's don't
(both stay 1.2e-8 to 3.1e-7 off the closed form). The tabbed plate test
gets past the corner arc alone (#2176) and fails later, on the rim and
a corner arc rounded together, each of which builds alone.

Subject: [PATCH 221/245] Merge fix: solidcore reads planar sheets without
 SMLib, so their edge reader is always built

smlib's 4627402e4 built prism_curve::projected only with the smlib feature, where its one caller
lived; on solidcore that caller (prism.rs sheets) is built without it too.

Subject: [PATCH 223/245] Turn on solidcore's new fixes at 9fb13f145

Nineteen new UpstreamFixes flags, none shown broken: on the rig on
solidcore every case keeps its status, and 31 volumes move, all by
cylinder_plane_section_trims_exact (each restored by turning it alone
off), by at most 6e-8 relative. Where the case has a closed form the
shift is towards it: the circle swept along a polyline (1875 pi) goes
from 3.5e-4 to 8e-8 off, the three shell 316 cases from up to 1.6e-4
to under 2e-6, and the pipes of 2820 and 2862 from 3e-5 to 7e-8. The
two sloped-basin r4 rounds, which fail on continuity either way, move
by 5e-5 and 1.1e-4 (under 1e-9 relative). The rig's total time is as
before (888 s to 893 s). HELD_BACK stays empty.

Subject: [PATCH 224/245] Rig: the reimported peg's rounds fail as the peg's do

fillets/report-peg-step-front-and-concave-rounds-together-r2 no longer
fails with 1001 on solidcore: since solidcore#2198 (cb9e544ab, WR-641) an
extended rail end whose section cannot be solved is skipped, and the round
builds as fillets/report-peg-front-and-concave-rounds-together-r2, the same
peg not written to STEP, already does: a seam G0 at (32, 2, 10) and the
tight box 6.5e-3 below the front face y = 0, where the exact box is
(0, 0, 0) .. (48, 16, 20). The case stays listed, with that reason.

SMLib d01d7b0's capi builds the curvature section as the Gⁿ generator's order 2 at the
equal-area thumbweight (fork 6148773), taking off (1 - π/4) r² at a square corner. Our capi
port still built solidcore's blend-curve quintic (113/756 r²): a body every check passes,
off the closed form (862's box edge 7892.38 against 7845.49). solidcore has no Gⁿ generator
yet (solidcore#2250, port in progress as #2260), so Blend::Curvature now gives
Error::Unported, "not supported yet" with the issue, rather than another section. The
refusal comes off when the pin carries #2260 and 6148773 with fillet_gn_section_generator on.

The C++ closed-form case takes the equal-area volume; its solidcore twins are ignored until then.

Subject: [PATCH 226/245] solidcore: a variable-radius fillet is refused until
 solidcore builds the union of its balls

SMLib d01d7b0 builds a variable round as the union of its balls (smlib#78 6b346f6, 5db8feb,
fb5c060): each ball touches the round along the circle shifted -r r'/|c'| from its great
circle. solidcore's variable round still takes the great circles, a body every check passes
but not that round (a linear 3 to 1 on a 20 mm edge removes 18.5998 against 18.5378).
fillet_variable on solidcore now gives Error::Unported citing solidcore#2250 (port in progress
as #2262, on #2260) after the capi's own checks, a pick that misses and a law with a corner
(solidcore#430) still answered first. The refusal comes off when the pin carries #2262 with
fillet_gn_section_generator on. Constant-radius rounds are untouched.

The C++ closed form of the linear 1 to 3 law is the balls' union's, 27.857434 (integrated
independently; the method gives develop's cone case 43.77766 against its 43.777573); the
curvature case's solidcore twins are no longer ignored, so they are listed while refused.

Subject: [PATCH 227/245] Known failures on solidcore after the merge: the
 refused curvature and variable rounds, develop's new cases

Rebuilt from the trapped nextest run (11497 ran, 51 known failing, no regression) and the rig on
solidcore (968/1014). The curvature fillets (solidcore#2250, #2260) and variable-radius fillets
(solidcore#2250, #2262) are refused, so their tests and rig cases are listed as such, the
rig's as [unsupported]; a law with a corner stays refused as before (solidcore#430). develop's
new junction and turn cases fail on solidcore as on SMLib d01d7b0.

Subject: [PATCH 228/245] Move the solidcore pin to c9a06dc7c

It builds without change in SolidCraft: solidcore's API changes since
9fb13f145 add two UpstreamFixes flags, the surface/plane curve traced
on the plane's equation (WR-682) and the extended rail end at the side
edge crossing (WR-681), plus STEP pcurve reading (a new BuildOptions
field, off by default) and the surface/plane curve as a free function,
none of which SolidCraft calls.

Subject: [PATCH 229/245] Turn on solidcore's new fixes at c9a06dc7c

Two new UpstreamFixes flags, neither shown broken. On the rig on
solidcore every case keeps its status and no case reaches C++. Six
volumes move, all because of fillet_surface_plane_curve_on_plane_equation
(each goes back when that flag alone is turned off), by at most 3.8e-8
relative. Where the case has a closed form, the shift moves it closer:
the 851/1113 arc chamfers go from 1.7e-4..3.4e-4 off to 1.4e-5..2.2e-5
off (#1113's full wall height from 3.3e-4 to 1.9e-5), and the pipes
touching at a point go from 3.7e-4 to 3.1e-4 off.
fillet_extended_rail_end_at_side_edge_crossing changes no case on the
rig. The rig's total time stays the same (974 s with the flags off,
977 s with them on). HELD_BACK stays empty.

Subject: [PATCH 232/245] Turn on fillet_gn_section_generator
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

solidcore's one new UpstreamFixes flag since c9a06dc7c (#2260, #2261,
#2262; WR-685, solidcore#2250): the curvature section is the Gⁿ
generator's, at the equal-area thumbweight by default, and a variable
round is the union of its balls, a law whose balls fold refused as
NoRoomReason::BallsFold.

Toggled on the rig on solidcore (flag off against on, everything else as
pinned): only curvature and variable rounds move. With it off the
curvature rounds fail or come out wrong (the hole rim's r1 curvature
round 63.94 mm³ against 15207.56, the boss root's 420.9 against
26056.15) and the variable cone case takes the great circles
(11955.6466); with it on all match their closed forms (next two
commits). Every other case keeps its status and its volume bit for bit.
Rig time 1064 s off, 1248 s on, the difference the curvature rounds that
now build (the hole rim 89 s and boss root 92 s, as on SMLib d01d7b0's
102 s and 105 s). One unit test, three_rounds_at_a_corner, moves: the
corner's variable transition between rounds of 2, 3, 4 meets its
neighbours at 0.144° (the test allows 0.05°), as on SMLib d01d7b0, its
volume and patch corners as before; listed, as for SMLib. Not broken by
the flag rule: HELD_BACK stays empty.

Subject: [PATCH 233/245] solidcore: a variable round is built again, as the
 union of its balls
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

With #2262 and fillet_gn_section_generator on, solidcore builds a
variable round as the union of its balls, so fillet_variable's
refusal from sync-2 (9f64cce54, solidcore#2250) comes off. Laws with a
corner stay refused (solidcore#430); a law whose balls fold is refused
by solidcore (NoRoomReason::BallsFold) and arrives as Error::NoRoom.

Against closed forms, solidcore and SMLib d01d7b0 agreeing to 1e-11:
- 1 to 3 along 30 mm removes 27.858907 against the balls' union's
  27.857434 (great circles 27.898239); a law of one radius 2 removes
  25.753574 against (1 - π/4) 4 · 30 = 25.752220: both 5.3e-5 over,
  the solver's surface fit, as on the C++ kernel.
- the rig's 1 to 5 cone: 11956.21991 against 11956.22243 (2.1e-7).
- kernel tests: a_linear_radius_runs_from_the_start_end (18.5378),
  variable_radius_on_a_box_edge, down_to_zero (22.5949),
  taper_follows_the_room (the wedge 5245.68 against the balls'
  union) pass.

The refused test becomes a_variable_round_is_the_union_of_its_balls
(the two closed forms, either direction, a folding law refused, a pick
miss named first). the_wedge_round_keeps_its_volume held 5223.0386,
measured before the fork's balls' union; it now takes its closed form
from removed_by_balls.

Subject: [PATCH 234/245] =?UTF-8?q?solidcore:=20a=20curvature=20fillet=20i?=

Blend::Curvature now builds the capi's section, as fork 6148773's capi
does: SM_FSG_BLEND_CURVE of order 2 at the equal-area thumbweight,
passed by solidcore's name GN_THUMBWEIGHT_EQUAL_AREA (solidcore#2274
moves its value from -2 to 2), with no blend-curve-at-thirds setting.
The sync-2 refusal (e9ac0e606) comes off.

One call resolves the equal-area thumbweight once, from the first
blend's wedge, and every edge takes it, in the fork as in solidcore: an
edge of another wedge then takes off the wrong area, depending on the
edges' order (17% short, 21% over;
solidcore#2250 issuecomment-6563419897). A curvature fillet over edges
whose faces meet at different angles (at each edge's midpoint, within
1e-6 rad) is refused as Error::Unported citing that comment; the call
is not split per edge.

Against closed forms on the rig, solidcore within 1e-9 of SMLib
d01d7b0: 862 7845.48670 (7845.48668), 2708 11791.330160 (11791.330159),
every-box-edge-r3 and section box-edge-r3 23922.743338, boss-root-r2
26056.152951, pipe-on-plate-r2 40302.590788 (completes, #2264),
hole-top-rim-r1 15207.56176, crease-r2 13963.15756, l-bracket 7538.62833,
peg front 9383.62724, all within 3e-9 relative. The G2 corner cases
pocket-corner and the bar corner's three edges (two variants) build and
fail continuity G1 at one seam, as on SMLib; the oblique three-edge
corner is refused for its mixed wedges. The kernel's and engine's
curvature tests now pass.

a_curvature_round_takes_its_wedges_equal_area_and_mixed_wedges_are_refused
holds each wedge's r² (cot(α/2) - (π - α)/2) to 1e-6 on a chamfered box
(135° and 90°), both orders refused, two 90° edges built together.

Subject: [PATCH 235/245] Known failures at solidcore adf26ddbc: curvature and
 variable rounds built
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The rig on solidcore: 982/1014 pass (968 at pin 13). Fourteen cases
come off the lists (the curvature rounds, the variable cone, 3604's G2
swept tool, the curvature fillet after a fillet). Six remain with new
causes: the G2 pocket corner and the bar corner's three edges (two) G1
at one seam and the cylinder-side G2 corner not closed, as on SMLib;
the oblique three-edge corner refused for its mixed wedges; the mixed
corner refused as on SMLib.

Tests (nextest, ci profile, PR filter): 34 come off
KNOWN_FAILING_TESTS (curvature and variable rounds). three_rounds_at_a_corner
is listed (its corner's variable transition at 0.144°, as on SMLib
d01d7b0); chord_and_variable_fillets now fails on its waist law's
corner (solidcore#430).

Subject: [PATCH 236/245] Move the solidcore pin to 2dbd88b6e

solidcore main at 2dbd88b6e adds the slit-edge check (#2276, unconditional),
NLib curve derivatives at order 5 (#2280, unconditional), generic blend step
4a (#2281: face_trim_curves_kept_where_exact, swap_uv_keeps_analytic_definition,
face_shrink_bound_on_knot), step 6's overflow trimmed at creases (#2279:
fillet_overflow_trim_at_creases), offset and shell updating their result's
tolerances (#2297: offset_updates_result_tolerances), the section-ended
round's crease trim (#2302, solidcore#2223: fillet_section_end_trim_at_creases),
the coincident-strip crossing drop (#2285: boolean_coincident_strip_drops_crossing)
and the cone iso circle at an axial height (#2289: cone_iso_circle_at_axial_height),
each new flag off until the next commit. SolidCraft never runs the tolerance
update after offset or shell itself, so there is no call to remove. No API
change reaches SolidCraft.

Subject: [PATCH 237/245] Turn on solidcore's new fixes at 2dbd88b6e

The eight UpstreamFixes flags new since adf26ddbc, all on; HELD_BACK stays
empty: none is broken by the flag rule.

Toggled on the rig on solidcore (all eight off against on, then each alone
off on the 43 cases whose volume moved): 982/1014 pass either way, no case
changes status, the largest volume change is 1.35e-8 relative.
- fillet_overflow_trim_at_creases (#2279): 19 cases, up to 1.35e-8. The
  sloped basin rounds move toward their closed forms (r4 1.24e-8 -> 2.1e-10
  off, r4 2 edges 6.1e-9 -> 4.3e-10); 4055's bar chamfer over a joined pin
  moves from 2e-11 to 1.35e-8 off its closed form, inside its tolerance.
- face_shrink_bound_on_knot (#2281): 9 cases, at most 5.7e-13.
- swap_uv_keeps_analytic_definition (#2281): 11 cases (tapered booleans,
  shells, an oblique cone rim), at most 3e-14.
- face_trim_curves_kept_where_exact (#2281): 10 cases, last bits only.
- offset_updates_result_tolerances (#2297),
  fillet_section_end_trim_at_creases (#2302, solidcore#2223),
  boolean_coincident_strip_drops_crossing (#2285),
  cone_iso_circle_at_axial_height (#2289): no rig case moves.
No boolean, shell or offset case moves by more than 5.7e-13. The tangent-peg
cases of solidcore#2256 keep their statuses, volumes and checks bit for bit.
Rig time 1433 s off, 1344 s on; 3368-two-faceted-prisms-cut-then-joined
timed out once in the flags-off rig and passes alone with them off in 152 s
at the same volume.

Subject: [PATCH 238/245] Tabbed plate: the rim and one corner arc round
 together (solidcore#2223)

solidcore#2223 (closed by #2302, under fillet_section_end_trim_at_creases):
the R25 rim and the x > 0 R2 corner arc rounded together at r 0.5 on the
plate 2 high take off 8.117810114 (the rim's 7.958674274526857 and the
corner arc's Pappus 0.15913583972191622) within 1e-7, 12 faces, valid. A
new test beside the tabbed-plate test, which shares its outline.

The tabbed-plate test gets past that pair and now stops at the two R2
corner arcs picked together: 1001 in trim_at_creases (cliff_overflow with
the crease trims off), though each builds alone (solidcore#2314). Its
known-failing line says so.

Subject: [PATCH 239/245] Native wire fixture: a box edge round's cylinder
 keeps its own frame

With swap_uv_keeps_analytic_definition (#2281) on, the fillet's cylinder in
box_and_fillet_have_stable_wire_records keeps the frame it was made with:
its origin moves along the axis from x = 0 to x = -20 (the edge runs x 0 to
40), with the same axis, radius 2 and trims; the last bits of the axis and
radius move with it. The same surface; turning that flag alone off gives
the old record back. Re-blessed with NATIVE_BREP_BLESS=1.

Rig (fillets/KNOWN_FAILING.solidcore): the two 851 rows develop now rounds with their tangent

Subject: [PATCH 242/245] Known failing on solidcore after the f916a8d sync;
 blend_fit in the entry-point guard

SMLib f916a8d's setback corner (smlib#104: three rounds of different radii, the curvature
rounds' G2 corner, too-short setbacks refused naming the least) is solidcore#2310, not ported
yet: five tests that now want it fail on solidcore. Main's three tests that assume truck fail
here as on SMLib. blend_fit asks no kernel on solidcore (it names no size there yet).

Subject: [PATCH 243/245] Make the C++ SMLib kernel opt-in at build time
 (feature smlib, off by default)

solidcore, the pure-Rust kernel, is always built and stays the default. The
`smlib` feature (apps, engine, kernel; solidcraft-smlib's `native`) now has
to be asked for to compile and link SMLib: the app, the CLI and the web app
drop it from `default`, and solidcraft-gpu's dev-dependency no longer forces
it on. Without it no C++ toolchain, fetch-smlib.sh, prebuilt or build.rs work
is needed.

On a build without it, asking for the C++ kernel (SOLIDCRAFT_KERNEL=smlib,
diagnostics.kernel, the rig) is refused with Error::NotBuilt, which now says
"this build doesn't include the C++ SMLib kernel; build with --features
smlib", and SOLIDCRAFT_KERNEL=smlib logs that once. `cargo xtask
kernel-cases` builds the CLI with --features smlib only when --kernel smlib
or both asks for it.

Subject: [PATCH 244/245] CI: build without the C++ SMLib kernel except where a
 job needs it

Every job that only builds or tests the default (solidcore) build drops the
SMLib fetch: quick compile, tests, build-tests, GPU path, doc tests, oracle,
Windows, wasm, RISC-V, release, pages, docker, generated, external corpus and
the fillet rig. The kernel rig keeps --features smlib (its ladder runs on
--kernel smlib). Clippy also lints the C++ path, and a new job, Native Linux
tests (C++ SMLib), runs solidcraft-smlib, solidcraft-kernel and the CLI's
model_cache with --features smlib, where the parity tests are built, graded
against tests/KNOWN_FAILING_TESTS; `ci` requires it.

Subject: [PATCH 245/245] Tests and the rig for a default build without the C++
 kernel

- step_in's a_solid_smlib_refuses_with_its_faces_is_refused_not_meshed assumed
  a build without SMLib has no kernel; on solidcore the cube imports, so it
  now runs only under SOLIDCRAFT_KERNEL=smlib and says it skipped otherwise.
- rounds_on_the_871_part and mitred_rounds_follow_a_moved_top compare with
  the C++ kernel (listed in tests/KNOWN_FAILING_TESTS) when it is built; their
  solidcore half runs as *_on_solidcore on a build without it, so each list
  entry is graded only where its comparison runs.
- kernel-cases without --cli builds the CLI once (with --features smlib when
  a run asks for the C++ kernel) before the cases, so the first cases don't
  spend their timeout compiling it.
- rustfmt for diagnostics.kernel's message.
