WillTools 2026-09-09 -- clean snapshot of the development repo for review

History-free snapshot of the private development repository at cbe45c5
(2026-09-09). Code, docs and public catalogue only; no plant or job
knowledge layers, no client or job names (tools/scrub.py clean). The
intro deck is left out of this snapshot because its slide images could
not be checked for job drawings.

+"""An opening that all but reaches an edge must not leave a fibre behind.
+
+A real piece had an opening drawn to 11.1041 ft on a panel 11.1042 ft wide.
+The 0.001 in of concrete left over was, arithmetically, the outermost material
+in the section -- so every in-plane stress was reported at a fibre 110 in from
+the centroid instead of 23 in, on a sliver nothing could be cast into. The
+piece came back at 432 psi where a commercial check of the same piece said
+162, and it was one of only two failures in a 194-piece sweep.
+
+The stress at a fibre that is not really there is a stress nobody has.
