Karl Von Richter 44b0056d48 Frames: a Weldments ribbon tab (#4003) (#5262)
* Frames: a Weldments ribbon tab (#4003)

- WELDMENTS joins the ribbon after SHEET METAL and is built the same way:
  Sketch (New Sketch), Create (Frame Member) and Configure (Parameters,
  Configurations). Frame Member's home moves there from MODEL > Create.
- Always shown, as a frame starts from a sketch of its lines. It selects
  itself and takes the contextual style when the selected body (or the last
  body of the active component) is a frame member; sheet metal comes first.
- It uses the default accent until the palette has a colour for it.
- The tab label is in every catalog; docs/ribbon-layout.md, docs/frames.md
  and the tab list in docs/control-protocol.md follow.

* Frames: Weldments keeps the ordinary tab look (#4003)

Weldments still selects itself when a frame member is the active body, but
no longer takes the solid contextual fill or the 2 px accent line under the
tab row: selected, it looks like a selected Model tab. Only Sketch and Sheet
Metal (on a sheet body) are contextual.

Karl Von Richter 27d2fe6ec0 Frames: profile library, members along frame sketch lines, and the Frame Member dialog (#4003) (#4004)
* claim: #4003

* Frames: the profile library (#4003)

The first slice of frames and weldments: the cross-sections structural members
will be made of, each SolidCraft's own parametric definition built in code
(no vendor or standard size tables are shipped).

- solidcraft_doc::frame: bar, round bar, rectangular and round tube, angle,
  channel, I-beam and a generic T-slot extrusion as exact line/arc regions,
  with defaults worked out from the profile's size, refusals that name the
  dimension that does not fit, anchors and placement, and exact section
  properties (area, centroid, Ixx/Iyy/Ixy by Green's theorem).
- frame.profile.list, frame.profile.properties (with mass per metre for a
  density) and frame.profile.insert (draws a profile into a sketch, locked by
  default, at a point, anchor and angle).
- Tests against hand-computed values (rectangles, circles, composite
  rectangles by the parallel-axis theorem, fillet spandrels), hostile input,
  extrusion volume, undo; catalog entries in every locale; docs/frames.md;
  ROADMAP M15.

* Frames: drop the built-in T-slot profile (#4003)

Aluminium extrusions and other vendor sections come from the user's own
sketch (drawn or inserted from the vendor's DXF), so the library keeps the
plain steel shapes only.

* Frames: members along frame sketch lines (#4003)

frame.member lays one body per straight line of a frame sketch (2D lines or
3D sketch lines), its cross-section square to the line from end to end:

- profile: a built-in profile, or profile_sketch, a sketch whose material
  (nested loops alternating, so two circles make a tube) is the section in
  its own x and y around its origin; profiles picks override it.
- anchor (origin, centre, centroid or a bounding-box corner or edge middle),
  angle (an angle expression, so a parameter), mirror.
- Orientation: the profile's y as near world up as the line allows, x
  square to both; a vertical member's x is world X (frame::member_axes).
- Members follow sketch and parameter edits, undo as one step, save and
  reopen (format: pending/frame-members.rs), and are named after the profile
  (Rect Tube 40x40x3, (2)…), numbering on past names already taken.

Tests against hand-computed volumes and bounding boxes (rectangle, 3D
tower lines, parameter edit, sketch tube profile and picks, anchor/angle/
mirror), refusals, undo/redo and reopen; walk fixtures and goldens; docs.

* Frames: fixes from the adversarial review (#4003)

- Default member lines are what was drawn: projected and other linked curves
  and 3D wires (a face sketch's edges) and lines of no length are left out.
- A profile sketch's material starts from its drawn profiles, as
  solid.extrude's "all" does, so a section sketched on a face works; the
  even-odd test uses outlines and boxes worked out once, capped at 256.
- Member names are pinned to their lines (`names`, by line id; `body_name`
  is the base): deleting or adding a line, or deleting another feature, no
  longer renames other members, and frame.member stores every name it gives.
  body.rename renames a member on its line (also for later member features);
  a copy whose body_names were set still names its members by position.
- Built-in profile dimensions are expressions (ProfileSpec): they follow
  parameters, bare numbers take the design's units, and they are feature
  inputs. frame.profile.properties/insert read them the same way.
- Default root/toe radii shrink to the room a thick section leaves; radii
  given are checked by name; a radius must be 0 or at least 0.01 mm; error
  messages report the wall or flange value given, not twice it.
- A line within 1e-6 rad of vertical orients as vertical, so rounding never
  turns a post a quarter turn.
- A 2D frame sketch in a differently placed component is mapped into the
  member's frame, and member features recompute when placements change.
- Caps before lookups for a design's `lines`; a line listed twice is
  refused; a 3D wire that runs back on itself is not a line.

Regression tests for each, from the review's scenarios.

* Frames: the Frame Member dialog on the ribbon (#4003)

- Frame Member (MODEL > Create) opens a dialog: the frame sketch's lines
  picked in the view (or All Lines), a built-in profile and its dimensions or
  a section picked in another sketch, anchor, angle, mirror and name, with a
  live preview. Edit Feature reopens it filled in.
- Lines picked in the view keep their sketch (a SKETCH_LINES input picks
  ExternalSketchCurve): line ids are each sketch's own, so two 3D sketches
  both have a `w2`, and the members went on the newer sketch's lines.
- timeline.redefine takes frame.member. Members keep their names through an
  edit unless it gives them a new body_name; frame.member takes `names`.
- A member whose section is a whole profile sketch keeps it when edited
  (the dialog shows the sketch instead of picking every region, which would
  fill a tube's hole).
- An original frame_member icon, open for review, on the ribbon, timeline
  and browser.
- The angle profile is listed as L-Angle, and web and flange as Web/Flange
  thickness, so they translate apart from the existing Angle, Web and Flange;
  the dialog's labels are in en, ja and zh. en-GB no longer repeats the frame
  command labels it spells the same.
