DesignCanvas::set_view() and fit_view() were both written and then never called
from anywhere in the tree. The Design viewport has had no way back to a standard
view since it existed: no key, no button, nothing but orbiting by hand until the
model happens to drift into frame.
That is worse than a missing convenience. A camera left pointing along the bed
plane renders a scene that looks exactly like a failed renderer — geometry
present, nothing visible — and an hour went into blaming the software GL stack
before the real cause turned out to be two uncalled functions.
Home rather than a letter: every letter A-Z is already a Shift+letter tool
shortcut. Home is also the reset-the-view key most users arrive with. The
dispatcher needed no change, it keys on the raw wx keycode. set_view() already
does select_view + zoom_to_volumes, so this is fit and orient in one call.
Doc row added to the View toggles table in docs/design_tab.md.

Mirror of snaporca ac85277bac..0e7cb3ec78 (six changes, applied as a patch to
DesignPanel.cpp rather than copied, so this fork's 30 permitted divergent lines survive
— parity re-checked afterwards: the five shared files are byte-identical, DesignCanvas.cpp
and DesignPanel.cpp differ by exactly 16 and 30 lines).
- The straight slot's inline field says Radius, which is what it sets. It stores the
half-width and passed the typed number through unchanged, so 30 produced a 60 mm slot.
- The offer opens from the keyboard (Menu, Shift+F10), anchored on the viewport rather
than wherever the pointer happens to be. The card hint names the new route.
- The sketch card's Plane combo is gone; the plane comes from the viewport. Also stops
build_candidate collapsing a face plane to a base plane while editing.
- Mass properties and the dead Edit row are wired into the offer; DesignOffer.hpp is
regenerated from tool_atlas.json, verified by re-running the generator and diffing.
- docs/rig_build_traps.md + scripts/rig-build.sh, which derives its fork identity from
project() so it cannot be pointed at the other fork's image or volume.
- docs/design_tab.md refreshed (44 commits stale) + a PR description, with this fork's
own merge-base and diff shape rather than snaporca's.
Built green in the deps container with the new script and verified on the rig: Menu and
Shift+F10 both open the offer at the viewport centre with the pointer parked off-canvas,
and the sketch card shows no Plane row.

docs/design_tab_upstream_portability.md explains the subsystem to a
maintainer; nothing explained it to a user. This is that: what the tab is,
how to get a first solid out of it, every tool grouped the way the toolbar
groups them, and the keyboard shortcuts read out of the source rather than
remembered.
The limitations section is deliberate. Rib needing a sketch with an explicit
open line, Surface Loft and Surface Fill having no hands-on verification, mates
composing transforms instead of solving simultaneously, move-face and
replace-face being absent, and the two quarantined kernel tests are all things
a user would otherwise discover by hitting them.
