Apply Biomorphic Exoskeleton
implemented exercised
Grows a load-aware organic rib network over a panel: keepout masks -> surface samples -> rib graph (Gabriel, seeded, deterministic) -> root-to-tip tapered ribs -> organic windows between them. Primary target is an exoskeleton_panel (rib growth surface); aesthetic_lightening is the fallback for plate-like cores. IR-first: Bio-2 attaches the checkable skeleton intent, Bio-3 materializes it in CAD — the bio features stay honestly un-built until the topology probes pass. Windows are the DUAL of the rib graph (cells around rib-face centers), explicitly clipped to rib_radius + min_ligament/2 clearance from every rib. On a horizontal/tilted panel the windows cut through; on a developable profile_surface (Bio-4M stage B — the branch clamp body unrolled to (s, x)) the ribs are hierarchical (fat PRIMARY diameter on the load paths, thin SECONDARY elsewhere) and the windows are RECESSES, never through-cuts — a see-through window would breach the saddle/channel, so the builder publishes a safe_recess depth. A side-profile body WITHOUT a declared face window is still refused (the AABB fallback would slice the interior).
