	  * Added unit test `tests/test_fepro_beam_diagrams.tcl` verifying non-zero diagram canvas item creation for $N_x, M_x, V_x$.
	- Modular Live Report Engine & Exporter (`fprep.tcl`):
	  * Created dedicated, modular `fprep.tcl` library shared between FEPro and LittleDef (`fem1.tcl`), automatically detecting host environment.
	  * Added dynamic Model Summary aggregator (`fprep_get_model_summary`) extracting analysis type, bounding box ($\Delta X, \Delta Y, \Delta Z$), node/element counts by 1D/2D/3D types, load resultants ($\sum F_x, \sum F_y, \sum F_z$), material properties, total structural mass, and weight ($W = m \cdot 9.81$).
	  * Added re-creatable viewport snapshot item (`canvas_image`) capturing camera orientation (`az`, `el`, `scale`, `pan_x`, `pan_y`, `display_mode`, `res_scale`, cut plane), generating high-res Postscript graphics, and displaying active result range captions ($min\_val \dots max\_val$).
	  * Implemented standalone LaTeX exporter (`fprep_export_latex`) with optional `\tableofcontents`, `\listoftables`, and `\listoffigures` toggles (`::fprep_opt_toc`, `::fprep_opt_lot`, `::fprep_opt_lof`).
	  * Implemented GitHub-flavored Markdown exporter (`fprep_export_markdown`).
	  * Integrated uFEM command processor compatibility (`report`, `reportconf`, `export`) matching `/home/jirka/progs/ufem/COMMANDS`.
	- Eurocode Design Verification Report Blocks (EN 1992, EN 1993, EN 1994, EN 1995, EN 1996, EN 1999):
	  * Added `fprep_add_ec3_check_item` in `fprep.tcl` formatting Eurocode design constants, partial safety factors ($\gamma_{M0}, \gamma_{M1}, \gamma_C, \gamma_M$), critical member utilization ratios ($U_{\max}$), and typeset LaTeX math equations for cross-section yield ($\sigma_{Ed} \le f_{yd}$), slenderness ($\bar{\lambda}$), imperfection parameter ($\Phi$), buckling reduction factor ($\chi$), and buckling resistance ($N_{b,Rd}$).
	- Interactive Live Report Generator Window (`.fprep_win`) & Live Document Preview Engine:
	  * Built real-time Live Document Preview renderer (`fprep_gui_render_preview`) displaying full formatted document text, model summary tables, Eurocode design verification blocks, and user commentary directly inside the right pane of `.fprep_win`.
	  * Created embedded 3D structure viewport mini-renderer (`fprep_draw_mini_viewport`) projecting 3D model nodes and elements onto a dynamic Tk canvas subwidget embedded directly within the report text document.
	  * Added interactive listbox section selection handlers (`<<ListboxSelect>>`, `<ButtonRelease-1>`, `<KeyRelease-Up>`, `<KeyRelease-Down>`) scrolling the live preview pane to the selected section's position.
	  * Added interactive section property editor bar (`$w.body.ed`) allowing live editing of section titles and commentary text with real-time preview updates.
	  * Added GUI section manager window with keyboard shortcuts: `Ctrl+Shift+T` (Summary Table), `Ctrl+Shift+I` (Viewport Snapshot), `Ctrl+Shift+X` (User Notes), and `Ctrl+Shift+E` (Eurocode EC Check).
	  * Added menu commands under File -> Live Report Generator... in FEPro and Reports & Export -> Live Report Generator... in LittleDef.
	- Strict Tcl/Tk 8.0 & 9.0 Compatibility:
	  * Audited all string formatting to use pure 7-bit ASCII (strictly avoiding UTF-8 encoding options like `utf8` in `inputenc` that break Tcl 8.0).
	  * Escaped square brackets (`\[`, `\]`) and dollar signs (`\$`) across format strings to prevent invalid command evaluation or array lookups.
	  * Ensured `frame` constructor calls never pass `-padx` or `-pady` options, maintaining 100% compatibility with Tk 8.0 on IRIX.
	- Version Bump to 3.64.0:
	  * Updated version string to `3.64.0` in `fepro.tcl`, `fem1.tcl`, `fem0.tcl`, `fprep.tcl`, and all documentation files (`USER_GUIDE.md`, `PROGRAMMER.md`, `FILELIST.md`, `ChangeLog`).

2026-09-07  Etsuko (Antigravity) <antigravity@google.com>

	* Version 3.63.13 (Combined Multi-Physics Verification: Contact Mechanics + J2 Plasticity + Rotational DOF Regularization)
	- Clinch Wizard Multi-Physics Verification (`fepro.tcl`, `fepro_solver.tcl`, `tests/test_clinch_multiphysics_verify.tcl`):
	  * Fully verified and benchmarked 3D conforming Clinch Model v2 (836 nodes, 392 Hex8 elements, 225 contact pairs) under "7. Combined Multi-Physics (Contact + Plasticity + Large Defs)" mode.
	  * Fixed solver coordination in `fepro.tcl` line 11113: Removed redundant and destructive `catch { solve_fea_nonlinear }` invocation which previously wiped out the converged contact displacement solution table.
	  * Added full J2 von Mises plasticity radial return and equivalent plastic strain tracking (`::fepro_element_plastic_strain`, `::fepro_state_ep_committed`) to `fepro_recover_stresses` for both 3D Hex8 solid elements and layered shell elements.
	  * Incorporated material secant modulus softening ($E_{elem} \rightarrow E_t$) in incremental contact mechanics step iterations (`fepro_solve_contact_mechanics`), allowing yielded zones to deform plastically while maintaining contact equilibrium.
	  * Resolved rotational DOF under-constraint in `solve_fea_nonlinear`: Added regularization for `rot_x` and `rot_y` DOFs (in addition to `rot_z`), preventing singular matrix divergence during iterative solves with 3D solid elements.
	  * Eliminated phantom cantilever tip load injection in `solve_fea_nonlinear`: Ensured default -1000 N tip load is bypassed whenever explicit nodal loads (`::fepro_node_loads`) or general loads (`::fepro_gen_loads`) are defined.
	  * Added comprehensive verification suite `tests/test_clinch_multiphysics_verify.tcl` demonstrating active contact pairs (32 CLOSED, sub-micron penetration), J2 plastic yield recognition (128 yielded elements, peak plastic strain 0.1016%), and integrated solution metrics report.

2026-09-07  Etsuko (Antigravity) <antigravity@google.com>

	* Version 3.63.12 (Multi-Step Contact Mechanics Convergence, Step Loop Scope & Multi-Body Constraint Alignment)
	- Non-Linear Contact Solver Step Loop & Brace Scope Fix (`fepro_solver.tcl`):
	  * Diagnosed and resolved premature solver exit in `fepro_solve_contact_mechanics`:
	    1. Missing Closing Brace on Contact Pair Evaluation: An unclosed brace on `if {[info exists ::fepro_contact_pairs] && [llength $::fepro_contact_pairs] > 0}` trapped boundary condition enforcement, prescribed displacement penalties, and linear PCG solver routines within the contact pair check block.
	    2. Premature Step Termination: As a result of the unbalanced brace stack, the post-convergence displacement commit (`fepro_commit_displacements`), stress recovery (`fepro_recover_stresses`), progress window destruction, and final return statement were situated inside the outer step loop `for {set step 1}`. Consequently, the solver terminated immediately after Step 1 (20% load) instead of solving all $N_{steps}$.
	    3. Restored Step Loop Boundary: Closed the contact pair evaluation block cleanly, moved the post-convergence final commit and return statements after the step loop, and enclosed per-step load-displacement history accumulation (`::fepro_curve_disp`, `::fepro_curve_load`) within each step iteration.
	    4. Purged redundant trailing closing brace at EOF, establishing 100% perfectly balanced brace nesting across all 6,200+ lines of `fepro_solver.tcl`.
	- Multi-Body Boundary Support & Elastoplastic Solver Contact Alignment (`fepro_solver.tcl`):
	  * Added full support for directional roller constraints (`Roller Z`, `Roller YZ`, `Roller XZ`, `Roller XY`, and `Roller Support`) in `solve_fea_nonlinear`, ensuring anvil bed die supports (`Roller Z`) and tensile grip guides (`Roller YZ`) generated by Clinch Wizard v2 are properly constrained.
	  * Passed initial contact trial engagement flag `is_trial` ($factor == 0.0$ and $iter == 0$) into `fepro_eval_contact_pairs_c` within `solve_fea_nonlinear`, preventing unconstrained rigid-body divergence of floating sheet assemblies.
	  * Coupled contact interface reaction forces directly into internal force vector $F_{int}$ during Newton-Raphson iterations when running with C acceleration.
	- Verification & Quality Assurance:
	  * Verified 100% completion and convergence of 5-step non-linear contact analysis on default Clinch Joint v2 model:
	    - Progressive displacement growth: $2.63\,\mu\text{m}$ (Step 1, 20%) ➔ $7.14\,\mu\text{m}$ (Step 2, 40%) ➔ $11.20\,\mu\text{m}$ (Step 3, 60%) ➔ $14.81\,\mu\text{m}$ (Step 4, 80%) ➔ $19.72\,\mu\text{m}$ (Step 5, 100%).
	    - Equilibrium curve history properly populated: `0.0 2.63e-6 7.14e-6 1.12e-5 1.48e-5 1.97e-5`.
	    - Active-set status: 32 CLOSED / 193 OPEN pairs, sub-micron penetration ($0.21\,\mu\text{m}$).
	  * Passed 100% test suites: `test_clinch_wizard_v2.tcl`, `test_fepro_contact_penetration_prevention.tcl`, `test_fepro_convergence_window.tcl`, `test_fepro_peak_loads.tcl`, `test_fepro_benchmark_suite.tcl`, `test_tcl_80_compat.tcl`, `test_tcl80_full_audit.tcl`, `test_tcl80_wizard_audit.tcl`, `test_tcl9_compat.tcl`, and `test_full_suite_audit.tcl`.
	  * Synchronized all updates to `fem1_windows_dist/`.

2026-09-07  Etsuko (Antigravity) <antigravity@google.com>

	* Version 3.63.11 (Unilateral Contact Separation, True 3D Cup Normals & Active-Set Solver Convergence)
	- Unilateral Active-Set Penalty Contact Formulation (`fepro_c_solver.c`, `fepro_solver.tcl`):
	  * Diagnosed and resolved the zero-separation issue where all 224 clinch contact pairs were permanently locked as CLOSED:
	    1. Bilateral Penalty Spring Trap: Evaluated pairs previously considered CLOSED whenever `pen > -1e-9`. Because initial displacement was 0 and initial gap was 0 ($pen = 0 > -1e-9$), 100% of contact pairs were marked CLOSED and bilateral normal stiffness ($k_{pen} = 10^{10}\text{ N/m}$) and tangential shear stiffness ($k_t = 3 \times 10^9\text{ N/m}$) were assembled into $K_{glob}$, effectively creating a stiff bilateral adhesive weld that physically prevented peeling, separation, and tangential sliding.
	    2. Premature Iteration Termination: `fepro_solve_contact_mechanics` checked `du_max < tol` on iteration 0 without requiring `iter >= 1`. Because initial elastic displacements in the clinch model were smaller than the default tolerance ($10^{-4}\text{ m}$), the solver broke out prematurely without performing an active-set update.
	    3. Missing Post-Convergence Evaluation: Contact status and forces were evaluated only at the beginning of each iteration using pre-solve displacements, causing HUD and result arrays to retain stale states from before the solve.
	  * Implemented Unilateral Contact Closure:
	    - In both ANSI89 C accelerator (`FeproEvalContactPairsObjCmd`) and pure Tcl solver fallback:
	      `is_closed = (is_trial && initial_gap <= 0.0) || (pen > 1e-12)`
	      where `is_trial` is active only on step 1 iteration 0 to provide initial numerical stability.
	    - When $pen \le 10^{-12}\text{ m}$, contact status is strictly OPEN, contact force is 0.0 N, and no normal or tangential stiffness is assembled ($k_{eff} = 0, k_t = 0$).
	  * Guaranteed Active-Set Update: Updated convergence check to `if {$iter >= 1 && $du_max < $tol && $max_penetration < 1e-4}`, guaranteeing at least one equilibrium iteration with dynamic active set re-evaluation.
	  * Post-Convergence Equilibrium State Evaluation: Added final contact state re-evaluation on converged displacements `u_nodal` with `is_trial = 0`, ensuring HUD and status arrays reflect the true deformed physical state.
	  * Automatic Normal Deduction: Updated `fepro_add_contact_pair` to default `nx, ny, nz` to empty strings, allowing 5-element pairs to automatically deduce outward geometric normals from coordinate vectors when $g_{len} \ge 10^{-6}\text{ m}$.
	- Conforming Clinch Wizard True 3D Cup Normals (`feprowiz.tcl`):
	  * Dynamically calculates true 3D outward normal vectors $(n_x, n_y, n_z)$ for clinch core contact pairs based on the conical cup wall slope $dz/dr$ at each ring, replacing uniform vertical $(0,0,1)$ normals on inclined walls.
	  * Added center punch bottom contact pair `node_core(0,0,2)` to `node_core(0,0,1)`.
	  * Guarded `tk_messageBox` in `fepro_exec_build_clinch_v2` with `if {![info exists ::fepro_headless] || !$::fepro_headless}` to prevent blocking test suites in headless runs.
	- Verification & Accuracy Validation:
	  * Clinch Joint Model: Verified realistic contact separation with 52 CLOSED / 173 OPEN contact pairs (~77% natural separation under shear tension, 50.91 kN contact force, max penetration $< 1\,\mu\text{m}$).
	  * Passed 100% test suite: `test_clinch_wizard_v2.tcl`, `test_fepro_contact_penetration_prevention.tcl`, `test_fepro_peak_loads.tcl`, and `test_fepro_benchmark_suite.tcl` (FP-Score: 4258).

2026-09-06  Etsuko (Antigravity) <antigravity@google.com>

	* Version 3.63.10 (Clinch Wizard Contact Pre-Engagement, Linear Interface Stiffness & Realistic Deformation)
	- Clinch Connection Wizard & Solver Contact Interface Fixes (`feprowiz.tcl`, `fepro_solver.tcl`, `fepro_c_solver.c`):
	  * Diagnosed and fixed unrealistic deformation explosion (divergence to billions of meters) in clinch models:
	    1. Solver Mode Alignment: Clinch Wizard v2 generates two physically distinct assemblies (`sheet1_top` and `sheet2_bot`) interconnected solely through 3D contact pair constraints. Updated `feprowiz.tcl` to set `::fepro_solver_mode` to "Non-linear Contact Pairs" by default (matching Clinch Wizard v1 and previous behavior where contact mechanics was automatically engaged).
	    2. Pre-Engaged Interface Assembly in Linear Solver: Extended `solve_fea_linear` in `fepro_solver.tcl` to assemble pre-engaged contact pairs ($initial\_gap \le 10^{-5}\text{ m}$) directly into the global stiffness matrix $K_{glob}$ with normal penalty stiffness $k_{pen}$ and friction/shear stiffness $k_t = \mu k_{pen}$ (or $0.1 k_{pen}$). This eliminates rigid-body singularity and guarantees realistic sub-millimeter displacements ($u \approx 0.010\text{ mm}$ for 5 kN shear load) and physically sound stresses ($63\text{ MPa}$ peak) under Linear Elastic analysis.
	    3. C Contact Accelerator Zero-Clearance Threshold: Fixed `FeproEvalContactPairsObjCmd` in `fepro_c_solver.c` where contact closure was previously gated behind `pen > 1e-9` with zero stiffness at `pen = 0`, causing zero-clearance pre-engaged interfaces ($initial\_gap = 0.0\text{ m}$) at step 0 to be marked as OPEN and assembled with zero stiffness. Corrected the threshold to `pen > -1e-9` with $k_{eff} = k_{pen}$ and full tangential shear stiffness $k_t$, perfectly synchronizing the C solver with the Tcl contact formulation.
	    4. Non-Linear Solver Tangential Friction Assembly: Updated Tcl fallback in `solve_fea_nonlinear` (`fepro_solver.tcl`) to assemble tangential contact shear stiffness $k_t$ along with normal stiffness $k_{pen}$.
	  * Strict ANSI89 C Compliance: Declared all loop and index variables at block starts in `fepro_c_solver.c` and verified zero compiler warnings under `-ansi -pedantic -Wall`.
	  * Verification & Regression Prevention (`tests/test_clinch_wizard_v2.tcl`):
	    * Added explicit assertions verifying both Linear Elastic and Non-Linear Contact solves yield physically realistic displacements in the sub-millimeter range ($0.001 - 0.01\text{ mm}$, $< 5\text{ mm}$) and verified positive tensile / negative compressive peak stresses.
	    * Passed 100% test suites: `test_clinch_wizard_v2.tcl`, `test_fepro_benchmark_suite.tcl`, `test_fepro_peak_loads.tcl`, `test_tcl80_full_audit.tcl`, and `test_tcl9_compat.tcl`.

2026-09-06  Etsuko (Antigravity) <antigravity@google.com>
	* Version 3.63.9 (Headless Benchmark Routine & Zero Dialog Interception)
	- Performance Benchmark Dialog Suppression Subsystem (`fepro.tcl`, `feprowiz.tcl`, `fepro_solver.tcl`):
	  * Eliminated wizard toplevel dialog popup (`.fepro_clinch_v2_dlg`) during clinch benchmark execution by calling `fepro_exec_build_clinch_v2` directly in silent mode without invoking `fepro_wizard_clinch_v2`.
	  * Updated `fepro_exec_build_clinch_v2` signature and implementation to support optional `silent` execution (`proc fepro_exec_build_clinch_v2 {{w ""} {silent 0}}`), suppressing post-generation `tk_messageBox` modal alerts and redundant GUI tree/canvas re-rendering during benchmarks.
	  * Added active benchmark state guard `::fepro_benchmark_running` in `fepro_wizard_clinch_v2` and all wizard dialog openers to prevent unwanted dialog displays during automated benchmark runs.
	  * Added `fepro_ensure_msgbox_interceptor` wrapping `tk_messageBox` using safe list insertion (`eval [linsert $args 0 ::fepro_orig_tk_messageBox]`) to auto-return "ok" without opening modal dialogs whenever `::fepro_benchmark_running` is active.
	  * Updated solver progress window procedures (`fepro_init_progress_win` and `fepro_update_progress` in `fepro_solver.tcl`) to suppress `.fepro_progress` toplevel display during benchmark executions.
	  * Initialized default boundary condition variables (`::fepro_c2_supp_z_bed`, `::fepro_c2_supp_y_lat`, `::fepro_c2_grip_guide`) at script load time to ensure headless/non-interactive clinch models assemble robustly.
	  * Added automated verification in `tests/test_fepro_benchmark_suite.tcl` ensuring zero dialogs are created during single clinch benchmark and full composite suite runs.
	- Tcl/Tk 8.0 & Tcl 9.0 Dual Compatibility Audit & Fixes (`fem1.tcl`, `fepro.tcl`, `tests/`):
	  * Fixed missing closing braces in `fem1.tcl` trace variable compatibility polyfill shim for Tcl 9.0 forward compatibility.
	  * Fixed array vs. scalar symbol table collision in `fepro_show_mesh_quality_dialog` (`fepro.tcl`), using list representation for `aspect_map` instead of mixed scalar and array variables.
	  * Added explicit `exit 0` across test scripts (`test_tcl80_full_audit.tcl`, `test_tcl80_wizard_audit.tcl`, `test_pure_tcl80_execution.tcl`, `test_fit_command_tcl80.tcl`, `test_tcl80_stress_dialog.tcl`, `test_tcl9_compat.tcl`, `test_tcl80_execution.tcl`) to guarantee clean termination in Wish / headless CI.
	  * Verified 100% test pass rate across all 16 geometry wizards, CLI commands, Canvas rendering, and C-accelerated solvers.
	  * Bumped application version variables to `3.63.9` across `fem1.tcl` (`fem_version`), `fepro.tcl` (`::fepro_version`), `fem0.tcl` (`fem_version`), and `USER_GUIDE.md`.

	* Version 3.63.8 (IRIX / Tk 8.0 Compatibility, GLX Fallback Ladder & Wizard Offsets)
	- Tcl/Tk 8.0 & IRIX Compatibility Audit:
	  * Purged all `-dash` canvas option usages across `feprowiz.tcl`, `fem1.tcl`, `ecconcrete.tcl`, `influence.tcl`, `sections.tcl`, `exts.tcl`, and `plugins/export_saf.tcl` for strict Tk 8.0 compatibility.
	  * Fixed missing `$` variable syntax error on `du_y` and `du_z` in procedure `fepro_solve_contact_mechanics` (`fepro_solver.tcl`).
	  * Added missing placement offset variable initializations (`x0_off`, `y0_off`, `z0_off`) across all 19 geometry wizard procedures in `feprowiz.tcl` (including Wind Turbine, Pressure Vessel, Portal Crane, Building Frame, Glulam Frame, etc.).
	- OpenGL / GLX Renderer Initializations:
	  * Restored 2D Tk Canvas as the default rendering mode across all platforms (`set ::fepro_use_opengl 0`).
	  * Added multi-tiered `glXChooseVisual` fallback ladders in `fepro_c_solver.c` (double-buffered 16-bit depth, single-buffered 8-bit depth, minimal RGBA) to support legacy SGI IRIX graphics hardware.
	  * Added console error logging when GLX context creation fails.

2026-09-02  Etsuko (Antigravity) <antigravity@google.com>
	* Version 3.63.7 (Volumetric Limit for Linear Peak, Section 8 Results Tree & macOS High-Contrast UI)
	- Peak Linear Load 5% Volumetric Threshold Subsystem (`fepro.tcl`):
	  * Added `fepro_model_has_plasticity` to inspect active solver mode, material constitutive parameters, and hardening definitions.
	  * Added `fepro_calc_element_volume` computing exact 3D volume for Hex8 (5-tetrahedron decomposition), Tet4, Quad/Tri shell ($A \times t$), and Beam/Truss ($L \times A$).
	  * Implemented 5% volumetric threshold criterion for models without plasticity: Linear Peak is reached when von Mises stress on $>5\%$ of total finite element volume exceeds the threshold specified in the right-hand Results panel (`::fepro_yield_threshold_mpa` / "Show elements exceeding...").
	  * Updated `fepro_find_peak_linear_load`, `fepro_calc_solution_metrics`, and `fepro_format_peak_load_report` to display volumetric threshold KPI cards and `ExceedVol%` column in the step-by-step table.
	- Section 8 (Results) Left Tree Outline Navigation (`fepro.tcl`):
	  * Populated Section 8 in the left sidebar tree outline starting with `1. Deformations (u_sum)`, mapped directly to total resultant deformation `u_tot` (`::fepro_result_quantity "Deformations (u_tot)"`) and setting `::fepro_display_mode "Deformed"`.
	- macOS Aqua High-Contrast UI Contrast Enhancement (`fepro.tcl`, `feprowiz.tcl`, `fem1.tcl`, `fem0.tcl`):
	  * Replaced all light/white button text foreground colors with high-contrast deep royal blue (`#1e40af`), ocean blue (`#0369a1`), dark green (`#065f46`), and dark slate (`#0f172a`), ensuring crystal clear legibility against native macOS Aqua white buttons.
	- Test Suite Integration (`tests/test_fepro_peak_loads.tcl`):
	  * Verified 5% volumetric exceedance criterion, GUI report dialogs, Section 8 tree outline selection, and CLI commands (100% PASS).

2026-09-02  Etsuko (Antigravity) <antigravity@google.com>
	* Version 3.63.6 (Find Peak Linear Load & Comprehensive Multi-Step Peak Load Reporting)
	- Peak Load Capacity & Step History Subsystem (`fepro.tcl`):
	  * Added `fepro_find_peak_linear_load`: evaluates non-linear contact / plasticity increments until initial yield onset ($\sigma_{vM,\max} \le f_y$, $\varepsilon_{pl} = 0.0$), identifying maximum allowable elastic load capacity $\alpha_{\text{linear}}$ without permanent plastic deformation.
	  * Enhanced `fepro_find_peak_nonlin_load`: proportional bisection search up to ultimate collapse / non-linear solver limit $\alpha_{\text{peak}}$.
	  * Implemented comprehensive metric extraction across all evaluation steps (`fepro_calc_solution_metrics`):
	    1. Peak load scale factor $\alpha$, nominal applied force, and scaled peak load (kN).
	    2. Extremum nodal displacements ($u_{\min}, u_{\max}$), peak resultant displacement magnitude $\|\mathbf{u}\|_{\max}$, and displacement $L_2$ norm $\|\mathbf{u}\|_{L2}$.
	    3. Peak von Mises stress $\sigma_{vM,\max}$ and stress $L_2$ norm $\|\sigma_{vM}\|_{L2}$.
	    4. Maximum equivalent plastic strain $\varepsilon_{pl,\max}$ and plastic strain $L_2$ norm $\|\varepsilon_{pl}\|_{L2}$ (enforced $0.000000$ for Peak Linear Load).
	    5. Number of closed / open contact pairs and total contact normal resistance force $F_N$.
	    6. Step-by-step history table across every iteration step.
	  * Added interactive GUI report window (`fepro_show_peak_load_report_dialog` / `.fepro_peak_rep_dlg`) featuring executive KPI summary cards, scrollable monospace ASCII/Markdown table, 1-click clipboard copy (`fepro_copy_peak_load_report`), and Markdown export (`fepro_save_peak_load_report`).
	  * Added menu items in **Solve ➔ Find Peak Linear Load (Elastic Limit)...** and **Solve ➔ Find Peak Non-Linear Load (Ultimate Capacity)...**.
	  * Added Section 9 sidebar tree items and action buttons (**Peak Linear**, **Peak Non-Lin**).

	* Version 3.63.5 (FEPro Performance & Accuracy Benchmark Suite)
	- Performance & Accuracy Benchmark Suite Subsystem (`fepro.tcl`, `fepro_solver.tcl`):
	  * Added full multi-problem hardware performance and analytical accuracy benchmark battery (`fepro_run_single_benchmark`, `fepro_run_benchmark_suite`, `fepro_format_benchmark_report`):
	    1. 3D Solid Cantilever Beam: 120 Hex8 solid elements, 220 nodes, 1,320 DOFs under tip downward load, validating 3D shear-flexure mechanics vs Timoshenko analytical theory.
	    2. 3D DKT Thin Plate Bending: 100 Quad4 shell elements, 121 nodes, 726 DOFs under uniform pressure, verifying Kirchhoff thin plate bending against Navier double-Fourier series.

	  * Corrected Slave-to-Master normal vector orientation ($\mathbf{n}_{s\to m} = +Z$) across all clinch wizard contact pairs (`feprowiz.tcl`), ensuring active contact pairs properly resist compressive/downward sheet pressing.
	  * Added rotational DOF diagonal stiffness regularization in `fepro_solve_contact_mechanics` for 3D solid Hex8 elements to guarantee positive-definite PCG convergence.
	  * Ensured `fepro_solve_pcg_c` takes priority in contact solver to avoid passing empty Tcl arrays to small-DOF Gauss elimination fallbacks.
	  * Added automated test suite `tests/test_fepro_contact_penetration_prevention.tcl` verifying 3D solid slab contact penetration resistance under 50 kN loading.
	- Solution Progress & Convergence Window Subsystem (`fepro_solver.tcl`):

	- Feature & Fix: Parametric uFEM Macro Parsing, 3D CAD Discretization, NSEL Filtering & FEPro Integration:
	  * Parametric Macro Loop Unrolling & Math Evaluation (`ufem_browser_lib.tcl`): Completed parametric script evaluator supporting `for`...`endfor` loop expansion, script variable arithmetic (`eval`/`ieval`), and cylindrical-to-Cartesian coordinate transformations (`csys,cylxy`).
	  * Solid Volume CAD Discretization (`ufem_browser_lib.tcl`): Implemented structured CAD volume sub-mesh generator (`gediv` & `mesh`), interpolating CAD volume keypoints into 8-node solid hexahedral elements (`e009` / `h8`).
	  * NSEL Node Selection & Nodal Load/Support Extraction (`ufem_browser_lib.tcl` & `fepro.tcl`): Added `nsel` coordinate node selection tracking (`nsel, s/r/a/u, loc, x/y/z, val`) and extracted boundary displacement constraints (`d`) and point forces (`f`). Populated `::fepro_node_supports` and `::fepro_node_loads` on uFEM macro import.
	  * FEPro Element Structure Formatting (`fepro.tcl`): Formatted imported element tuples explicitly as structured FEPro element records (`[list $eid "h8" $enodes "solid"]`), enabling 3D depth-sorted face rendering across Tcl canvas and OpenGL accelerators.
	  * FEPro Canvas Selection & 3D Volume Remeshing (`fepro.tcl`): Bound **`Esc`** key and menu item (*Clear / Cancel Selection*) to cancel active canvas picking. Added 3D solid brick refinement (`fepro_remesh_solid_hex`) subdividing 8-node bricks into 8 sub-hexahedrons.
	  * Strict Tcl/Tk 8.0 Audit: Audited all code, replacing Tcl 8.1+ `string is double -strict` constructs with Tcl 8.0-compliant `catch {expr {double(...)}}` validation.

2026-08-16  Etsuko (Antigravity) <antigravity@google.com>

	* Version 3.42.3 (FEPro 3.39.4)
	- Feature & Fix: FEPro General FEA Mode GUI Modernization, Multi-Element Line Load Export & Interactive Outline Tree:
	  * Fixed Multi-Element Load Export (`plugins/fepro_plugin.tcl`): Resolved single-element line load normalization when exporting multi-element member chains to FEPro. Applied spatial distance scaling across chain bounds and mapped intermediate node point loads to mid-span or boundary nodes.
	  * General FEA Mode Outline Tree & Action Controls (`fepro.tcl`): Implemented hierarchical Outline Tree with 8 category sections (*1. Materials*, *2. Element Types*, *3. Geometry*, *4. Mesh Generator*, *5. Supports*, *6. Loads*, *7. Solution*, *8. Results*), each equipped with customized action buttons (`+ Add`, `Formulation`, `Import...`/`Create`, `Generate`/`Refine`, `+ Assign`/`Clear`, `+ Load`/`Delete`, `Run`/`Configure`, `Plot`/`List`) and right-click pop-up context menus.
	  * CAD Geometry Listing (`fepro.tcl`): Updated *3. Geometry* category listbox to display CAD/geometric entities (surfaces, extruded solids, STEP/STL entities) intended for meshing rather than finite element nodes and elements.
	  * Persistent Model Summary & Contextual Inspector (`fepro.tcl`): Pinned a top Model Summary & Information card displaying active materials, element formulations, mesh status, node/element totals, support/load counts, solver mode, and a green `Solution Status: SOLVED [OK]` badge. Suppressed duplicate viewport controls, anchoring a single Viewport Navigation Controls bar at the bottom.
	  * Top Menubar & Statusbar (`fepro.tcl`): Added `Select` menu (*Toggle Box Selection*, *Select All*, *Clear Selection*, *Create Group*, *Select Active Group*) and `View` menu (*OpenGL 1.1 Acceleration*, *Show Dimension Overlay*, *Dark Canvas Theme*, *3D Grid Plane*, *Reset 3D View*). Added bottom statusbar for canvas pick coordinates, status messages, active solver, and units.
	  * Keyboard Hotkeys (`fepro.tcl`): Added `F5` (Run General Solver), `F1` (User Manual), and `Ctrl+R` (Reset 3D View).
	- Fix: FEPro 3D Face Polygon Decomposition, Multi-Topology Support & Canvas Safety:
	  * Element Normalization Helper (`fepro_parse_elem`): Implemented robust, 100% Tcl 8.0-compliant element parsing supporting both structured (`[list $eid $type $nodes $tag]`) and flat lists (`[list $eid $n1 $n2 ...]`), correctly recognizing 8-node hex bricks (`h8`), 4-node quads, 3-node triangles, 4-node tetrahedra (`tet`), 6-node wedges/prisms, and 2-node beams/lines.
	  * Canvas Coordinate Safety: Added coordinate list length validation in `plot_mesh` undeformed outline, deformed face, surface load, max stress, and target element highlight rendering. Requires at least 6 coordinates ($\ge 3$ vertices) before invoking `$c create polygon`, and falls back to `$c create line` for 2-node line elements (4 coordinates), preventing Tk "wrong # coordinates: expected at least 6" / "bad number of polygon sides" errors.
	  * Expanded 3D Face Decomposition: Added 3D face decomposition for tetrahedra (`tet`) into 4 triangular faces and wedges/prisms (`wedge`) into 2 triangular and 3 quad faces.

2026-08-16  Etsuko (Antigravity) <antigravity@google.com>

	* Version 3.42.2
	- Feature & Fix: FEPro File I/O, Model Browser Enhancements & MicroDef Integration:
	  * Full Model Open & Save Engine in FEPro (`fepro.tcl`): Implemented `Open Model...` (`Ctrl+O`), `Save Model` (`Ctrl+S`), and `Save Model As...` command routines and keyboard shortcuts. Upgraded uFEM element importer (`fepro_import_ufem_mac`) to parse all element node formulations (2D/3D quad, shell, brick, line) into FEPro's mesh database.
	  * Model Browser Toolbar & Visual Gallery Mode (`model_browser.tcl`): Added Quick Extension Filter buttons (`All`, `.df`, `.dfr`, `.fem`, `.db`, `.mac`), Visual Gallery grid mode (`Gallery` / `List View` toggle) with a 3-column mesh wireframe thumbnail grid, dedicated vertical canvas scrollbar with mouse wheel support, and thumbnail click-to-select filelist synchronization.
	  * Batch Model Comparison & Extended Multi-Selection (`model_browser.tcl`): Configured listbox selection mode to `-selectmode extended`. Multi-selecting files calculates combined node counts, element counts, total weight ($kg$), and total length ($m$) across models.
	  * MicroDef `.dfr` File Format Support (`model_browser.tcl`): Added MicroDef `.dfr` binary/text header (`666777890`) and geometry parsing, extracting node coordinates, 0-based element node connectivity, materials, areas, and elasticity modulus $E$ for canvas previewing, batch comparison, and automatic import/conversion into LittleDef (`import_microdef`).
	  * Bug Fixes & Tcl/Tk 8.0 Compatibility: Replaced Tcl 8.1+ `lsort -index` with Tcl 8.0 `lsort -command compare_index0_real`, fixed element node mapping for non-sequential User Node IDs in `.df` models, fixed variable scope errors (`cw`, `ext`), and removed `.md` extension from MicroDef parsing to prevent conflict with Markdown text files.

2026-08-16  Etsuko (Antigravity) <antigravity@google.com>

	* Version 3.42.1
	- Feature & Fix: Native uFEM Dynamic Extension, Macro Interpreter & Automated 2D Beam Model Importer:
	  * Native C Dynamic Database Querying (`ufem_browser.c`): Created ANSI89 C Tcl shared library extension (`ufem_browser.so`) interfacing directly with native uFEM database I/O (`fdbInputReadData`, `fdbImport`, `fdbInputTabLenAll`, `fdbInputGetDbl`, `fdbInputGetInt`, `ciRunCmd`, `ciInitFuncHash`). Dynamically queries node coordinates, bounding boxes, element types (matching `../ufem/fem/README.ELEMENTS`), and element connectivity from native uFEM `ELEM` and `ENODE` database tables.
	  * Parametric Macro Script Evaluation & Error Robustness (`ufem_browser_lib.tcl` & `model_browser.tcl`): Wrapped Keypoint (`K`) and Node (`N`) command coordinate evaluations in safe Tcl double conversions (`![catch {expr {double($raw_x)}} kx]`), eliminating floating-point evaluation errors when script parameters contain symbolic names (e.g. `ang1` in `arc.mac`). Implemented `gfbrowse`-style macro interpreter loop executing script commands line-by-line via `ciRunCmd` up to `mesh`/`solve`.
	  * Element Canvas Rendering Optimization (`model_browser.tcl`): Replaced filled polygon outlines for 2D/3D multi-node elements with closed boundary line segments, eliminating visual fuzziness on complex meshes.
	  * Automatic 2D Beam Model Translation & Import (`model_browser.tcl`, `plugins/export_ufem_mac.tcl`, `fem1.tcl`): Configured `model_browser.tcl` file opening action and `fem1.tcl` startup command line argument processing to detect 2D beam/link uFEM models (`e001`, `e003`, `e006`) and automatically convert/import them into the active LittleDef workspace via `import_ufem_mac`. Restricted opening of 3D solid/shell models with an informational notification dialog.
	  * Strict Tcl/Tk 8.0 & ANSI89 C Compatibility: Verified all Tcl scripts using Tcl 8.0 primitives and compiled C dynamic library using strict ANSI89 C (`-ansi -pedantic -Wall`).

	* Version 3.42.0
	- Fix: Side Panel Load Editor, Standalone Model Browser & SGI IRIX Tk 8.0 Compatibility:
	  * Embedded Side Panel Element Load Editor (`fem1.tcl`): Integrated full element load editing (type, direction, values $v_a, v_b$, and apply/cancel buttons) directly into the side panel when `show_side_panel` is enabled, preserving modal pop-up fallback when the side panel is OFF. Fixed syntax newline after procedure close-brace and replaced non-standard `if_exists_set` call with Tcl 8.0 `info exists` check.
	  * Dynamic `fem1.tcl` Script Resolution (`model_browser.tcl`): Replaced legacy hardcoded path `/home/jirka/Documents/progs/fem1/fem1.tcl` in `mb_action_open` with dynamic script directory and current working directory resolution.
	  * Standalone vs. Integrated Model Browser Execution (`model_browser.tcl`): Configured standalone mode (`wish model_browser.tcl`) to keep the Model Browser window open when spawning `fem1.tcl $target &`, allowing consecutive browsing and launching of multiple models.
	  * SGI IRIX Tk 8.0 Listbox Keyboard Selection & Canvas Line Unrolling (`fem0.tcl` & `model_browser.tcl`): Fixed `bad screen distance -tags` in `fem0.tcl` under Tk 8.0 on SGI IRIX by unrolling point coordinate lists into `eval [list .c create line]`. Fixed Tk 8.0 listbox keyboard navigation in `model_browser.tcl` by adding active item fallback when `curselection` is empty and binding `<space>` & `<KeyRelease>` to update selection and live preview canvas.
	  * Global Load Case Array Initializations (`fem0.tcl`): Initialized global list variables `d_lc`, `f_lc`, and `l_lc` on application startup to prevent `can't read "l_lc": no such variable` errors when running `run_solver`. Fixed `bad index "end-1"` in `fem0.tcl` by replacing relative `end-N` index strings with explicit numerical list length index arithmetic.

2026-08-15  Etsuko (Antigravity) <antigravity@google.com>

	* Version 3.41.9
	- Feature & Fix: Model Browser, Preview Controls, Keyboard Navigation & IRIX Theme:

Features full `.df` file reading/writing compatibility, interactive click-and-create modes for **Nodes** (`N`), **Elements** (`E`), **Supports** (`U`), **Nodal Forces** (`F`), **Transverse Loads $q$** (`Q`), and **Axial Loads $n$** (`N`), interactive Load Inspector for adding **$q$** and **$n$** loads to members or editing start/end values ($q_a, q_b$), interactive Support Inspector for switching constraint types (**Pinned**, **Fixed**, **Roller X**), adding or removing supports, Entity Property Inspector in right sidebar (`.side.ed`) for Node coordinates ($X, Y$), Element parameters ($A, I, E$, Material, Section), entity deletion, enlarged force vector symbol (28px height), formatted 1-decimal-place numerical text labels for Nodal Forces (`F=%.1f`), Transverse Loads (`q=%.1f`), and Axial Loads (`n=%.1f`), results diagram visualization buttons for **Deformations** (`Def`), **Axial Force** (`N`), **Shear Force** (`V`), **Bending Moment** (`M`), and **Support Reactions** (`R`), single-key shortcuts (`S`, `N`, `E`, `U`, `F`, `Q`, `Esc`), classic Tk 4.0 menubutton top bar, portable X11 fonts (`fixed`, `-*-helvetica-...`), and pure Tcl 7.0 linear FE solver engine for ultra-legacy UNIX workstations (SGI IRIX 5.3/6.5, SunOS, Solaris). Integrated full 2D FE stiffness matrix solver engine (`solver.tcl`) into `fem0.tcl`, reading member end releases (`e_ha`, `e_hb`), spring stiffnesses (`e_ka`, `e_kb`), and load case metadata. Implemented `plot_deformations_fem0` using 10-segment Hermite cubic shape functions ($N_1 \dots N_4$) for flexural beam bending deformation curves, fixed diagram rotation angle calculation for vertical members using canvas pixel coordinates (`atan2(dy_pix, dx_pix)`), updated element load renderer to scale heights dynamically ($h_a \propto |q_a|, h_b \propto |q_b|$) for trapezoidal and triangular loads (e.g. Element 4 $q_a=3000 \to q_b=0$), and added end connectors & peak magnitude text labels matching `fem1.tcl`.
	  * Strict Tcl/Tk 8.0 Audit (`model_browser.tcl`): Completed a rigorous audit replacing Tcl 8.1+ builtins (`string is integer -strict`, `file normalize`, `lsort -index`, `glob -type d -directory`, `string match -nocase`, `<<ListboxSelect>>`) with pure Tcl 8.0 primitives (`regexp {^-?[0-9]+$}`, `mb_normalize_path`, `lsort -command`, Tcl 8.0 `glob`, `string tolower`), guaranteeing 100% compatibility on legacy platforms like SGI IRIX 5.3/6.5.
	  * Fix: Tcl `abs` Command Evaluation (`mb_draw_preview`): Fixed runtime error `invalid command name "abs"` when previewing loaded elements by wrapping absolute value formatting in Tcl math expression syntax `[format "%.1f" [expr {abs($val)}]]`.
	  * Model File Management Operations & Context Menu: Added **Delete**, **Rename...**, **Backup** (timestamped `.bak`), and **Copy Path** buttons to the Model Browser bottom bar. Implemented a Right-Click Context Menu (`<Button-3>`) on the file listbox offering instant access to all model file actions.
	  * Axial Load 'n' Orientation (`new_elem_load_x` & `model_browser.tcl`): Restored `new_elem_load_x` in `fem1.tcl` (toolbar button `'n'`) to direction `d=0` (Local X, axial load $N$ directed along the member axis). Updated `model_browser.tcl` preview renderer to display axial continuous loads with arrows pointing parallel along the member axis, matching `plot_eload` in `fem1.tcl`.
	  * Expanded Metadata & Materials Listing: Added explicit **Materials** list row to the Model Browser summary grid (`.mb_win.body.right.meta.v_mats`). Extended `mb_parse_df_info` in `model_browser.tcl` to parse explicit material strings (e.g. `Steel S235`, `Concrete C25/30`, `Timber C24`) and auto-infer material categories from Young's modulus $E$ and density $\rho$. Added **"Browse Models (Browser)..."** button to startup Welcome dialog.
	  * Interactive Preview Controls & Load Plotting Convention: Added `+` (Zoom In), `-` (Zoom Out), `Fit` (Auto-Fit Geometry), `IDs` (Toggle Node/Element Labels), and `Loads` (Toggle Vector Arrows) toolbar buttons to the model browser preview. Updated continuous element load rendering in preview to use the exact same trapezoid boundary and parallel arrow convention as `plot_eload` in `fem1.tcl`. Added cursor-centered mouse wheel zooming and click-and-drag panning.
	  * Canvas Background Synchronization (`mb_get_canvas_bg`): Synchronized preview background color with `fem1.tcl` canvas background (`$black`, `$white`, or `[.c cget -bg]`), rendering high-contrast elements and node dots.
	  * Full Keyboard Navigation: Enabled `<Up>` / `<Down>` arrow keys on listbox for live preview updates on every selection change, `<Return>` to open model/folder, `<BackSpace>` to go up directory, `<Escape>` to close window, and `<Down>` / `<Return>` in search box to shift focus into listbox.
	  * SGI / IRIX 4DWM Theme Integration (`mb_set_sgi_colors`): Automatically applies classic SGI 4DWM color scheme (`#c6c6c6` background, `#e4b8b8` entry fields) when running under IRIX 5.3/6.5 or `FORCE_IRIX`.
	  * Drop-In File Menu Integration: Added `File -> Browse for Open...` (`Ctrl+B`) menu command and key bindings in `fem1.tcl` and `main.tcl`.
	  * Side Panel Load Frame Cleanup: Added automatic widget cleanup (`destroy [winfo children $f]`) in `fill_side_panel_load` in `fem1.tcl` and `main.tcl` to prevent "window name already exists in parent" errors when re-selecting or editing element loads.
	  * Selection Mode Activation (`set_select_mode`): Implemented `set_select_mode` procedure to properly reset `editing_mode 0`, return side panel to model overview (`update_side_panel "" -1`), and trigger canvas redraw when activating selection mode via key shortcuts ("S"/"s") or menu bar items.

2026-08-15  Etsuko (Antigravity) <antigravity@google.com>

	* Version 3.41.8
	- Fix: Element Loads "q" Canvas Plotting, Visibility Gating & Lifecycle Management:
	  * Load Visibility Synchronization: Unified both nodal forces (`plot_force`) and element loads (`plot_eload`) under the `show_loads` control gate in `plot_stuff` in `fem1.tcl`, ensuring consistent visibility when toggling loads on/off.
	  * Canvas Item Tagging: Added `-tags model` to all lines, arcs, and text items created by `plot_force` so they are cleanly deleted during `.c delete model` canvas redraws alongside element loads.
	  * Transversal Load Direction & Orientation: Preserved standard sign conventions for continuous transversal loads (`l_dir = 1`) and element point loads (`l_type = 0, l_dir = 1`) in `plot_eload` with arrows pointing into the member.
	  * Member End Eccentricity Support: Added `get_ecc_coords` lookup in `plot_eload` to accurately render element loads on members with physical end offsets (`e_ex_a`, `e_ey_a`, `e_ex_b`, `e_ey_b`).

2026-08-14  Etsuko (Antigravity) <antigravity@google.com>

	* Version 3.41.6
	- Feature: Time-Dependent Loads, Accelerogram Import & GUI Dialog Extensions:
	  * Time-Dependent Force Callbacks (`solve_dynamic_transient`): Extended Newmark-$\beta$ solver engine to support dynamic force functions $\mathbf{F}(t) = f(t) \mathbf{F}_{static}$ evaluated at each integration time step.
	  * Accelerogram File Parsing (`load_accelerogram_file`): Added two-column accelerogram text file (`.txt`, `.dat`, `.csv`) reader with piecewise linear interpolation for seismic and ground motion time-history analysis.
	  * Dynamic Time-History GUI Dialog (`dynamic_transient_dialog`): Added math expression input field `f(t)` (e.g. `sin(2*pi*10*t)`, `t <= 0.05 ? 1.0 : 0.0`), quick load preset menu (Constant, Sine, Ramp, Pulse, Decay), and an accelerogram file selector with **Browse...** dialog.
	  * GUI Menu Integration: Added `Solve -> Dynamic Time-History (Newmark)...` and `Solve -> Steady-State Harmonic Response...` to the main application menu bar.
	  * Internal Force Sampling Fix: Updated `solve_dynamic_transient` and `solve_harmonic` to trigger `compute_results`, resolving `get_max_def` evaluation errors.
	  * Complete Documentation Updates: Updated `USER_GUIDE.md`, `THEORY_MANUAL.md`, and `PROGRAMMER.md` with detailed theoretical equations, algorithm steps, and user instructions for dynamic analysis types.

2026-08-14  Etsuko (Antigravity) <antigravity@google.com>

	* Version 3.41.5
	- Feature: Dynamic Time-History & Steady-State Harmonic Solvers in Plain Tcl:
	  * Newmark-$\beta$ Time-History Analysis (`solve_dynamic_transient`): Implemented implicit step-by-step dynamic integration engine in `solver.tcl` supporting Rayleigh mass/stiffness damping ($\mathbf{C} = \alpha \mathbf{M} + \beta \mathbf{K}$). Operates in 100% pure Tcl 8.0 mode, and automatically utilizes C matrix acceleration when available.
	  * Steady-State Harmonic Response Analysis (`solve_harmonic`): Implemented frequency-domain steady-state response solver in `solver.tcl` solving the $2N \times 2N$ real-equivalent dynamic system for complex response $(\mathbf{K} - \omega^2 \mathbf{M} + i\omega\mathbf{C})\mathbf{u} = \mathbf{F}$ across excitation frequencies $\omega$.
	  * Retro CLI Integration: Added `sol transient [t_end] [dt]` and `sol harmonic [freq_hz]` commands to `cli.tcl`.
	  * Modal Analysis Audit: Confirmed `solve_dynamics` modal frequency/eigenvalue solver works seamlessly in pure Tcl mode and produces identical results to the C-accelerated solver.

2026-08-13  Etsuko (Antigravity) <antigravity@google.com>

	* Version 3.41.4
	- Fix: Grid Snapping Alignment, Cursor Zooming & Tcl 8.0 Compliance:
	  * Dynamic Grid Decluttering & Snapping Synchronization: Added `get_effective_grid_step` in `fem1.tcl` to calculate the exact effective visual grid spacing. Updated `what_grid_point_x` and `what_grid_point_y` to use `get_effective_grid_step`, ensuring 100% 1:1 alignment between rendered screen grid lines and cursor snapping at all zoom levels. Lowered decluttering threshold to 5 screen pixels so default 0.5m grid resolution renders directly for 8x6m models.
	  * Cursor-Centered Zooming Correction: Fixed Y offset update (`off_y`) in `zoom_canvas` in `fem1.tcl`, restoring smooth 2D cursor-centered mouse wheel zooming without grid jumps.
	  * Startup Canvas Scale Initialization: Fixed initial canvas scale calculation on application startup by explicitly triggering `fit_canvas` and fetching canvas geometry via `winfo`, preventing unmapped 647m viewport scale fallbacks.
	  * Strict Tcl/Tk 8.0 Compliance Audit: Removed `frame -padx`/`-pady` options in `fem1.tcl` and `fepro.tcl`. Replaced `string repeat` calls across `fem1.tcl`, `fepro.tcl`, and `cli.tcl` with static literals and a Tcl 8.0 compatible loop helper (`string_repeat`).

2026-08-10  Etsuko (Antigravity) <antigravity@google.com>

	* Version 3.41.3
	- Fix: File Dialog Hidden Folder Filtering & Window Resize Center View Preservation:
	  * File Dialog Hidden Directory Filtering (`.something` in Linux/UNIX/IRIX): Configured Tk file dialog options (`showHiddenBtn 0` and `showHiddenVar 0`) and added lazy `::tk::MotifFDialog_LoadFiles` override in `fem1.tcl` and `fepro.tcl` with explicit `auto_load` support to hide dotfiles and dotfolders (`.cache`, `.local`, etc.) by default on both standard Tk file dialogs (`tkfbox.tcl`) and SGI IRIX / UNIX Motif file dialogs (`xmfbox.tcl`).
	  * Window Resize Position & Zoom Preservation: Updated `refresh_canvas` in `fem1.tcl` to preserve the model center point $(X_{center}, Y_{center})$ and zoom factor (`scale`) during application window resizing, preventing canvas drawing, background reference images, and nodes from jumping or resetting position.
	  * Model Overview Sidebar Cleanup: Removed redundant Background Reference section (`fr_bg`) from the Model Overview side panel (`fill_side_panel_stats`) in `fem1.tcl` so background controls appear exclusively in their dedicated side panel (`fill_side_panel_background`).
	  * Startup & Plugin Initialization Fix: Fixed `import_plugins` and `export_plugins` startup error by initializing global plugin lists before menu construction and adding defensive checks in `rebuild_menus` in `fem1.tcl`.

2026-08-08  jirka <jirka@sdf.com>

2026-08-08  jirka <jirka@sdf.com>

	* Version 3.41.1
	- Fix: Minor UI fixes in Background image code (correct labels)

2026-08-08  Etsuko (Antigravity) <antigravity@google.com>

	* Version 3.41.0
	- Fix: Background Blueprint Image Loading, Calibration & Continuous Zooming:
	  * Clean Background Image Redraw & Global Shortcut: Added `redraw_bg_layer_clean` procedure in `fem1.tcl` bound to global keyboard shortcut `Ctrl+Shift+B` (`<Control-Shift-B>`) from anywhere in the application. Added "Redraw Background Image" command with accelerator to the **Toggle** menu and buttons to both sidebar and calibration dialogs. Attached automatic 150ms debouncing to `zoom_canvas`. Added `tests/test_ctrl_shift_b_shortcut.tcl`.
	  * Memory-Safe Bounded Viewport Sub-Targeting: Added a 2048px safety cap on `w_sub_target` and `h_sub_target` in `plot_bg_layer` in `fem1.tcl`. Prevents multi-gigabyte intermediate RAM allocation failures during deep zooming, completely eliminating gray canvas rectangle fallbacks while maintaining continuous sub-pixel alignment up to 700x+ zoom.
	  * Unbounded Rational Zoom Factor Scaling: Fixed a critical bug in `approx_ratio` and `plot_bg_layer` in `fem1.tcl` where image photo copy zoom factor was hard-capped at integer factor $16\times$. Replaced integer rounding with high-precision rational approximation (`approx_ratio $w_target $w_sub 16`), allowing photo images to scale continuously and unboundedly to 700x+ zoom in sub-pixel alignment with P1/P2 calibration markers and model grid lines. Added `tests/test_zoom_ratios.tcl`.
	  * On-Screen Position Invariant Alignment: Updated `apply_bg_calibration` in `fem1.tcl` to synchronize canvas viewport scale (`scale = d_screen_px / d_real`) and offsets (`off_x`, `off_y`). Ensures that when applying alignment, P1 and P2 markers and the background image stay 100% stationary on screen at the exact picked pixel locations, while model grid lines resize to match configured physical distance $D_{real}$.
	  * Image Pixel Locked P1/P2 Calibration Markers: Updated `plot_bg_layer` and `apply_bg_calibration` in `fem1.tcl` to preserve `bg_img_p1` and `bg_img_p2` image pixel coordinates $(u_1, v_1)$ and $(u_2, v_2)$ across alignment application, rendering visual feedback markers directly at image pixel screen locations (`cx + u * bg_scale_x * scale`). Guarantees P1 and P2 markers remain 100% glued to their picked spots on the blueprint image during mouse wheel zooming and when clicking "Apply Alignment". Added `tests/test_p1_p2_zoom_invariance.tcl`.
	  * Dynamic Model Space Alignment & Resized Grid: Updated `apply_bg_calibration` in `fem1.tcl` to recalculate physical scale (`bg_scale_x = d_real / d_img_px`) and update P2 model space coordinates ($P_2 = P_1 + (\Delta u \cdot s_x, -\Delta v \cdot s_y)$), keeping P1 and P2 fixed on the blueprint image while resizing model grid spacing to match configured physical distance $D_{real}$.
	  * Viewport-Clipped Smooth Raster Zooming: Updated `plot_bg_layer` in `fem1.tcl` to calculate visible screen viewport bounds (`Vx1, Vy1` to `Vx2, Vy2`) and crop original photo images (`copy -from $u1 $v1 $u2 $v2`). Prevents incomplete/truncated image rendering and blocky shaded square artifacts when zooming in, capping memory allocation under 2 MB regardless of canvas zoom depth.
	  * Viewport Center Initial Image Placement: Updated `load_bg_reference_dialog` in `fem1.tcl` to position newly loaded background reference images directly in the center of the active canvas viewport (`center_x`, `center_y`).
	  * Configurable Distance Entry: Kept Distance (m) input fields (`$w.f.dist.e` and `$f.calib.fd.e`) in `-state normal` so users can freely type and configure real physical distance values.
	  * P1 Click Grid Origin Alignment: Updated `pickmode 81` in `mouse_action` to set P1 to the exact clicked canvas location $(r_x, r_y)$, automatically shifting the model grid origin (`grid_origin_x = r_x`, `grid_origin_y = r_y`) and re-anchoring image offsets to align model grid lines and node snapping directly onto P1.
	  * Sidebar Configuration Integration: When sidebar (`.sidepanel`) is enabled (`show_side_panel` = 1), calibration controls render embedded inside `.sidepanel`. Added "BACKGROUND REFERENCE" section to Model Overview sidebar and `tests/test_sidebar_bg_calibration.tcl`.

2026-08-07  Etsuko (Antigravity) <antigravity@google.com>
