A hang the wider panic fuzz of #2490 found: SmApiUnifyNormals with a huge sample count never returns, and cancelling doesn't stop it.

Cause. Stitch::unify_normals (heal/stitch/p1.rs) evaluates and drops num_samples points of each lamina edge use, in a loop that never checked the cancel token. On an open body with u64::MAX samples it doesn't end. Upstream's SmStitch::UnifyNormals (SmStitch.cpp:2512) has the same loop over the caller's ULONG.

Fix. The loop calls k.check_cancelled(..)? on every sample, as stitch_vertex_pairs and do_stitching already do. Only a cancelled call returns early (Cancelled), so no result changes and no flag is needed. This is a hang fix, unconditional per AGENTS.md §4b, and the module docs list it as a deviation from upstream.

I rejected capping the count instead: any cap would be arbitrary, would change results for legitimate counts, and isn't upstream.

Test. tests/hang_unify_normals_samples.rs, in the style of #2543:

• The u64::MAX call runs on its own thread, the token is cancelled after 1 s, and the test expects Cancelled within a 120 s budget.
• 0, 4 and 64 samples still succeed.
• With the check edited out, the cancel test fails at the budget.

Found by the fuzz in #2563, which builds on this.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Long-running normal-unification sampling can now be cancelled, preventing extremely large sample counts from continuing indefinitely.

Walkthrough

Stitch::unify_normals checks the kernel cancellation token on each sample. Regression tests cover cancellation during an extreme sample count and successful calls with sample counts of 0, 4, and 64.

The change lets a very large UnifyNormals sampling run be cancelled instead of hanging, and results for calls that complete are unchanged. A cancelled call can leave some faces already flipped without telling the caller which ones. The small-count test also checks only that the call succeeds, not the resulting orientations. Both are bounded issues worth addressing or accepting before merge.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the fix and its target: the UnifyNormals sample loop can now be cancelled, and it references the fuzz report #2490. The raw summary and objectives both describe a cancellation check added to Stitch::unify_normals in heal/stitch/p1.rs, plus regression tests for the u64::MAX sample-count hang. The title is specific and matches the main change. It uses the 'fix:' prefix and is a single sentence of 60 characters.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 100.00% which is sufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 1 functions across 2 files.

- Line 1654: Update Stitch::unify_normals around the cancellation check so
cancellation either rolls back any B-rep edits already made or returns and
documents enough partial-result information for callers to identify those edits;
keep the existing cancellation behavior while ensuring callers can recover
consistently.

Review comments at @crates/solidcore/tests/hang_unify_normals_samples.rs:
- Around line 95-96: Update the test around api_unify_normals to verify the
successful result’s flipped-face list and the resulting face orientations, using
a fixture that requires a flip. Assert the expected values for each samples case
instead of checking only that the call returns Ok.

Check the orientation results.

is_ok() accepts an empty or incorrect flipped-face list and incorrect face orientations. Assert the expected results for a fixture that requires a flip.

As per path instructions, “tests should check values a wrong result would change.” Based on learnings, tests should gate on values rather than time.

Agreed: is_ok() doesn't check the orientation. This PR has merged, so I'll add the check in a follow-up. The test will assert the flipped faces and the resulting orientations on a body that needs a flip.
