+ * @license MIT
+ *
+ * @description
+ * Advanced mesh manipulation tools for STL/OBJ imported geometry.
+ * Reduce polygon count, repair damage, smooth surfaces, subdivide meshes,
+ * section with planes, convert to solids, and perform boolean operations.
+ *
+ * Features:
+ * - Mesh reduction (quadric error decimation)
+ * - Mesh repair (fill holes, fix normals, remove degenerate triangles)
+ * - Mesh smoothing (Laplacian smoothing with iteration control)
+ * - Mesh subdivision (Loop and Catmull-Clark algorithms)
+ * - Cross-section planes (cut mesh and extract boundary curves)
+ * - Mesh-to-B-Rep conversion (surface fitting)
+ * - Boolean operations on meshes (union, difference, intersection)
+ * - Automatic remeshing (uniform triangle size)
+ * - Mesh analysis (volume, surface area, genus, watertightness)
+ *
+ * @tutorial Reducing Mesh Complexity
+ * 1. Import an STL file (File → Import → Select STL)
+ * 2. Select the mesh in the 3D viewport
+ * 3. Open Mesh Tools (Tools → Mesh Tools)
+ * 4. Click the "Reduce" button in the panel
+ * 5. Set target triangle count (default: 50% of original)
+ * 6. Adjust quality slider if needed (0-100, default 80)
+ * 7. Click "Apply" — the mesh simplifies while preserving shape
+ * 8. The simplified mesh appears in the tree
+ * 9. Original mesh remains in scene (can be hidden)
+ *
+ * @tutorial Smoothing a Noisy Mesh
+ * 1. Import scanned STL with surface noise
+ * 2. Select the mesh
+ * 3. Mesh Tools → Smooth
+ * 4. Set iterations to 5-10 (higher = smoother but slower)
+ * 5. Set lambda (0.0-1.0, default 0.5) to control smoothing strength
+ * 6. Click "Apply"
+ * 7. Normals are automatically recalculated
+ *
+ * @example
+ * // Reduce mesh to 10,000 triangles
+ * const reduced = await kernel.exec('mesh.reduce', {
+ *   meshId: 'mesh-001',
+ *   targetTriangles: 10000,
+ *   quality: 85
+ * });
+ *
+ * // Smooth 5 iterations
+ * const smooth = await kernel.exec('mesh.smooth', {
+ *   meshId: 'mesh-001',
+ *   iterations: 5,
+ *   lambda: 0.5
+ * });
+ *
+ * // Analyze mesh properties
+ * const analysis = await kernel.exec('mesh.analyze', {
+ *   meshId: 'mesh-001'
+ * });
+ * console.log(analysis);
+ * // { volume: 1250.5, area: 2840.3, triangles: 50000, isWatertight: true, genus: 0 }

+        <h4>Overview</h4>
+        <p>Mesh Tools provide advanced manipulation of triangle-based geometry:</p>
+        <ul>
+          <li><strong>Reduce:</strong> Simplify meshes while preserving shape (quadric error decimation)</li>
+          <li><strong>Repair:</strong> Fix common mesh defects (holes, inverted normals, degenerate triangles)</li>
+          <li><strong>Smooth:</strong> Reduce surface noise with Laplacian smoothing</li>
+          <li><strong>Subdivide:</strong> Increase geometric detail using Loop or Catmull-Clark</li>
+          <li><strong>Analyze:</strong> Calculate volume, surface area, topology properties</li>
+        </ul>
+
+        <h4>Reduction</h4>
+        <p>Reduce polygon count while maintaining shape. Set target triangle count or use quality slider.</p>
+        <p><strong>Quality:</strong> Higher values (80-100) preserve details better but leave more triangles.</p>
+
+        <h4>Smoothing</h4>
+        <p>Use Laplacian smoothing to reduce scan noise. Increase iterations for smoother results.</p>
+        <p><strong>Lambda:</strong> Strength of smoothing (0-1). Higher values smooth more aggressively.</p>
