* Snapshot: draw a see-through appearance see-through, and give the CLI --body, --tool and --section
A headless picture dropped a body's opacity: the scene carried only a colour, so a design with
a translucent appearance was drawn opaque by `solidcraft-cli snapshot`, by MCP screenshots and
in a design's thumbnail, although the window has always drawn it as glass. There was then no
way to look at the body a cut would remove inside the material it meets: only a volume to
measure and reason about, which hides exactly the errors a picture makes obvious (a tool that
stops short, or lands in the wrong place).
- `SceneMesh` carries the body's opacity; `view::build_scene` takes it from the design
(`model_body_opacity`), and a selected body stays solid so the selection colour reads.
- The GPU capture routes a see-through body into the scene's glass at its own alpha, as the
viewport does; the CPU rasterizer draws the solid bodies first (they own the depth buffer),
then the see-through ones blended over them, far sides before near sides and without writing
depth, so what lies inside shows and a line between the two is not hidden.
- `snapshot --body NAME:opacity=0.3,color=#rrggbb`, `--tool NAME` (that body solid in the tool
colour, the rest see-through) and `--section z=27` run the commands the app itself runs
(`appearance.assign`, `inspect.section`): the options are shortcuts, not a second renderer.

* Tests: measure the tool colour as it is drawn through a see-through target
The tool-colour filter was derived on paper and demanded a red more than twice either other
channel, which the target in front of it tints away (measured: (200, 108, 85) through opacity
0.3); and the colour check painted the tool, which a solid target hides.

* fmt
* Snapshot options: strip the colour's # rather than slicing it; README
Slicing `value[1..]` on an input-derived string is what the house rules ask us not to write,
even where a length check has already made it safe. The error a failed assignment reports now
names the body rather than claiming it came from --body, since --tool reaches it too.

* --tool: assign the bodies around the tool in groups, not one command at a time
Each appearance.assign is an undo step with a document snapshot behind it, so one per body
made --tool cost grow with the size of the design for no reason: the bodies around the tool
all get the same opacity, and the ones that share a colour can be named in one call. A design
whose bodies all wear the default grey now costs two commands whatever its size.

* Rasterizer: say where its glass and the GPU's differ
Splitting each see-through body by facing orders its own two layers; it does not sort across
bodies, which the GPU does. Worth stating rather than leaving a reader to find it.

AppRun installs nothing when an appimagekit_*.desktop entry for the same AppImage exists, and removes the entry it wrote earlier. An empty ~/.local/share/solidcraft/no-desktop-integration turns the integration off for good; SOLIDCRAFT_NO_DESKTOP_INTEGRATION=1 still works. Getting-started guide documents it. Fixes#1399.
solidcraft-cli snapshot takes --camera JSON and --view with a saved view name (through view.apply, as the MCP screenshot does), plus --no-grid and --no-axes; the MCP screenshot and ui.render take grid/axes, the headless render skips a hidden origin axis, and the app's ui.render follows the Grid and Origin switches. Closes#1245.
A design note for SolidCraft in the browser: tiered storage, a SharedWorker job broker, GPU dispatch and in-browser agent control through the same engine commands, with the generic pieces in craft-libs. Linked from the MCP and web getting-started docs.
timeline.export_script (and solidcraft-cli script) writes a design's history as a command script that solidcraft-cli eval replays into the same design, so a bug that only shows on one design becomes a one-file repro. timeline.add restores one stored feature with its id, names and references, through the same checks a design file gets when it opens.
Closes#886. SychPL's #1078 approached the same issue independently; thanks to both.

The Flatpak app id, desktop/metainfo/MIME file names, icon name and the window's Wayland app_id / X11 class are now ai.storyteller.solidcraft, the id the ArtCraft launcher expects.
Existing Flatpak installs move over: the Pages repo marks app/ai.storyteller.solvecraft end-of-life with a rebase to the new id, so flatpak update offers the switch and Flatpak carries ~/.var/app along. A new install next to the old one copies settings and autosaves on first launch through a read-only grant on the old data folder. The metainfo declares <replaces>/<provides>, the desktop entry X-Flatpak-RenamedFrom, and AppImages drop the menu entry an older AppImage installed. deb/rpm upgrades remove the old-named files.

A parameter change can break a feature without failing the command that
made it; parameters.change reports it only in its `errors`. `run` then
exited 0 and exported the bodies as they were before the failing feature:
a shrunk sheet-metal tray whose unfold failed came out folded, without
the holes and cut-outs made after the unfold.
`run` now checks the evaluated timeline before writing anything. Any
feature with an error fails the run with status 1, lists the failing
features on stderr and writes none of the --out and --save files, as a
failing command already does. --allow-errors writes them anyway. `eval`
is unchanged and still reports the errors in its timeline.

* Snap package: build, test and attach a strict snap to every release
packaging/linux/snap/snapcraft.yaml (core24, strict, gnome extension) repackages
the release's Linux tarball like the Flatpak does. The release workflow builds it
for amd64 and arm64, installs it with --dangerous, models a box in the confined
app on headless X11 and Wayland, and attaches solidcraft-<version>-linux-<arch>.snap
plus the version-less copy. When SNAPCRAFT_STORE_CREDENTIALS is set, nightlies go
to edge and release drafts to candidate, and snap-store.yml promotes candidate to
stable when a release is published. The README gets a Snap badge and install line.

Badges and one-line instructions for Windows, macOS, Linux and the web app,
right after the tagline and demo. The links use releases/latest/download with
version-less file names, which release.yml now attaches (and checksums)
alongside the versioned installers. The Flatpak note and the name/compatibility
section move into the book's Getting started page.

* Release under the SolidCraft name: binaries, assets and installers
The desktop binary is now `solidcraft` and the CLI `solidcraft-cli` (the two app packages
are renamed; their folders move with the rest of the rename later). Every release asset is
named solidcraft-<ver>-… / SolidCraft-<ver>-windows-x64.exe, and the installers show the
SolidCraft product name.
Kept so existing installs keep updating (docs/compatibility.md):
- `solvecraft-cli` alias binary in every package, forwarding to solidcraft-cli with a
deprecation note on stderr (tests/legacy_alias.rs).
- Linux app ID ai.storyteller.solvecraft (Flatpak ID, desktop entry, Wayland app_id).
- MSI UpgradeCode, so the MSI upgrades in place.
- deb Replaces/Conflicts/Provides and rpm Obsoletes/Provides solvecraft.
- An old-named .zsync copy so earlier AppImages find updates; a legacy .flatpakrepo copy.
- .solvecraft file associations; SOLVECRAFT_* fallbacks in the packaging scripts.

An mdBook under docs/book: a user guide (getting started, UI tour, sketching, features,
parameters, components and joints, sheet metal, plastic, files, shortcuts, MCP) and a developer
guide (CONTRIBUTING, architecture, command engine, kernel boundary, persistent naming, test
harnesses, and the existing docs/*.md pages). `cargo xtask book` generates the command reference
from `solvecraft-cli commands` and renders the screenshots with `solvecraft-cli snapshot`, then
runs mdbook. .github/workflows/pages.yml publishes the book at /solvecraft/ and the web app at
/solvecraft/app/ (skipped while the repository is private). .github/workflows/ci.yml runs
`cargo xtask ci` on pull requests. README and Help → Documentation link to the book.
