Claude c664a24f4b Design tab: a closed loop that crosses or folds back is not a region
A sketch drawn on the rig extruded to walls with no caps. Every joint of
its loop met, so the loop analysis called it closed and MakeFace
accepted it, but the loop crossed itself: an arc left the top line's end
heading back over it and crossed it again 2.5 mm on. A second arc left a
0.28 mm line tangent to it but the other way, a cusp. The prism of that
face is an invalid solid, and it was shipped as a body.

- SketchEngine::wires_to_face checks the face it builds and, when OCCT
  calls it invalid, fails with "the profile crosses or folds back on
  itself, so it does not bound one region". The extrude reports that
  instead of producing the broken body.
- sketch_loop_defect() judges a closed loop of lines and arcs exactly:
  any contact between two of its entities away from the joints they
  share, or a joint where the curve turns straight back (a cusp; OCCT
  still builds that one, but it is never what was meant). It returns the
  point.
- The sketch uses it on every region: the loop is tinted red, the point
  gets a marker, and the status line says what the red means the first
  time one appears. The MCP loop report lists the defects and no longer
  calls such a profile buildable.

Tests: the rig's profile, with each defect and with both, from a
recording of the real entities. The analysis names the cusp at its joint
and the crossing on the top line, in either traversal order, and
passes ordinary tangent and collinear joints. The extrude refuses every
crossing variant with the reason, and the same arcs swept the other way
round extrude to a valid solid.
