- Text opens a dialog instead of a bare text entry: any installed font
(bold, italic), the height in mm, and a live outline of exactly what
will be inserted with its size. Enter inserts, Esc cancels; the last
font and height are remembered. text_to_regions gains an overload
taking a loaded font.
- The offer menu opens with a greyed title naming what the rows act on
("Flat face 4 of Body 2", "Sketch line", "Nothing selected").

- Offer table: user-facing strings carry the L() marker so xgettext
extracts them; DesignOffer.hpp, DesignSketchTool.cpp and
SketchInlineEditor.cpp are listed in localization/i18n/list.txt.
- Offer: model-mode Constrain sits in the same row as the sketch one;
Interference is wired; Rib shows its R key; a verb that accepts the
selection but is blocked by the document stays greyed with its reason
instead of vanishing from the submenu; one refusal wording per verb.
- Extrude infers Join when the profile touches a solid (new
CadDocument::body_touching_sketch) and on face push/pull; New body in
free space. Revolve/Sweep/Loft/Boolean use the same result words.
- Interference and volume/area reports go to the status line in mm3/mm2
instead of modal dialogs; Delete Body no longer asks (it is undoable).
- New feature names match the card header ("Extrude 3"), translated;
"Coordinate system", "Angle (°)", center/color spelling, translated
face and length readouts, slot hints say width.
- CAD gizmos in Prepare are selectable only with the CAD feature on; the
sketch auto-close setting is stored per design.
- Docs: confirm/cancel rules, enabling the feature and MCP in
design_tab.md; drift-only right-click in interaction-model.md; the
portability note rewritten to describe the integration as it is.

Keyboard and mouse
- Esc drops what is pending (picks, a dimension's first point, an edit-op or transform) and
never applies it; Enter applies a ready edit-op/transform, ends a polyline/spline chain,
ends an armed tool, and confirms a feature card exactly when its ✓ is enabled.
- Right-click only abandons the gesture in progress; with nothing pending it opens the offer
in every tool (Trim, edit-ops, transforms, Dimension, Constrain, TransformArt, move gizmo).
Clicking empty space no longer commits. The offer needs no timing, only a still press.
- Delete removes only an explicit selection. Undo/redo inside a sketch go through the same
route as the buttons (whole shapes, with redo); Edit > Undo follows the shown tab.
- The canvas no longer handles Delete/Esc/Ctrl+Z itself (Backspace in a value field deleted
the geometry it measured); F is in the panel's key map.
- Value fields: a refused value keeps the field open with the reason; click outside and Tab
commit; an untouched field commits the exact value; any decimal separator is accepted;
lengths are always mm; validation is the same for every editor.
- Snapping: the marker shows only where the click will actually snap; pick tolerances are
one set of pixel budgets (Constrain picks within reach; no mm floor on labels).
Messages and consistency
- set_status(kind, text) gives every status line its own colour and glyph; kernel errors are
translated into sentences and formatted, not concatenated; sketch refusals go to the status
line instead of the per-frame HUD that erased them.
- Hints describe the gestures that now work; Dimension shows its second step; Constrain uses
the sketch palette (red means conflict only); the straight slot's value is its width.
- Hole/Thread/Project keep the user's pick or refuse up front; circular pattern opens with its
own preview; thread fields use the nominal diameter and the ISO internal depth.
Integration
- MCP loads the project's recipe before touching the document, refuses to mutate it while the
tab is busy, never runs a request that already timed out, only replaces a socket at its
path, caps line length and removes the socket at exit; not started in the G-code viewer.
- Hiding a feature keeps later body references on their bodies; a design keeps its modeling
origin across printer changes.

The design pass over the rest of the 2D tool suite: Select/Measure,
Dimensioning, Constraints, Modification (Trim/Extend/Split/Offset/Mirror),
Dress-up (Fillet/Chamfer) and Transform, each with its FSM, its event routing,
its C++20 blueprint and the defects it exposed.
Thirty-two findings, every one verified against the tree with file:line, plus
nineteen open scope calls and a closing note that orders the six cross-cutting
changes by what unblocks what. Batches 1-8 were delivered in-session; only
their cross-cutting results (six archetypes, two defect classes) survive here.
Three cues, because one is missed. A teal banner across the top of the viewport names the session
("Editing: Sketch N") and where its exits are; the printer bed is muted for the duration, since a
plate grid and a sketch grid are the same visual language and reading one as the other is how a
sketch gets drawn against the wrong reference; and N looks straight down the plane normal at the
current zoom, with the plane's own y axis as up, because no hand-orbit lands exactly square and a
sketch read at an angle is one whose right angles do not look like right angles.
The banner is an INDICATOR. Finish and Cancel stay on the single ribbon action bar — the tab had
three competing confirm surfaces once and that is not being reopened for a strip of colour. It
sits above the canvas rather than floating inside it: a child window over a wxGLCanvas is a native
window on GTK with no reliable stacking over GL, and being unmissable beats being clever.
The bed checkbox stays the stored preference and is restored on leaving the sketch; ticking it
mid-sketch still shows the bed, because that is a deliberate act and this is only a default.

This fork had never been gated end to end. Five separate things stopped it, none
of them a defect in the CAD code itself, and each failure named the wrong
subsystem — which is why they survived.
1. run-all-checks.sh invoked docs/ux/mockups/gen_offer_table.py. The design docs
moved to docs/CAD/ (bbd1989e1e) and this path did not follow, so the rung
failed on a missing file.
2. gen_offer_table.py then resolved REPO one dirname short, because it now sits a
level deeper. OUT pointed at docs/src/.../DesignOffer.hpp, which does not
exist, so --check diffed the generated table against an EMPTY file and
reported all 189 lines as a difference.
3. DISPLAY was never passed into the container. The check scripts fall back to
":10", which is the other fork's rig; this one's Xvfb is :11. Symptom:
"FATAL no app window on :10", which reads like a dead app.
4. Every absolute chrome coordinate was written in the Snapmaker fork's layout.
This fork keeps mainline's top row (File / save / undo / redo / Calibration
with the title), so the whole chrome sits 26 px lower. At the unshifted y the
Design-tab click landed in the toolbar and the app stayed on the Home page,
reported as "no sketch opened after plane click + Shift+S"; the unshifted
Construction checkbox reported "0 construction axis". The three constants now
derive from CHROME_DY. Canvas coordinates were never affected -- clickmm()
computes them from live canvas geometry -- which is why dozens of geometric
properties passed exactly on a GUI that had never been driven.
5. CON_BTN was stale for every index after 5, from the sketch epic's six new
buttons. Fixed in both forks; see the companion commit on snaporca.
pdftocairo was also missing from the rig image (installed there, not a repo
change), without which every corpus sheet threw.
RESULT: offer-table, kernel, engine, corpus, corpus-scale and offer all hold.
The gesture ladder now reaches D2 and applies Equal length through the Constrain
toolbar, both sides landing at 99.928133658; it then fails re-entering the sketch
after commit, filed as snaporca-eoj1 with the evidence and the next measurement
to take. Kernel here is 7701 assertions / 270 cases.
