The two held-back ideas, delivered.

  • Magnet drawing. Toggle Magnet (or press M mid-draw) and freehand strokes snap to the sculpt's own ridges and valleys — ear rims, lip lines, hard edges — shown as faint icy guide lines while armed. The pull attracts but never overrides your hand, and a featureless surface (sphere, flat sheet) honestly offers nothing rather than noise.
  • Quality heatmap. A Display toggle colours every generated quad by the worse of stretch and shear — warm means wrong. See pinched pole fans and sheared transitions before you Apply, not after you subdivide.

Suite: 451 headless + 19 GUI checks, 122-layout sweep clean.
