kernelCAD-web (w1ne)MCADConfidence: Medium

kernelCAD-web hit this importing the Microduck 24 parts, each STL holding several closed shells. The importer returned a compound of shells with isSolid false, so fromSTL called it an open shell, and geometry faults came back with a wrong hint about installing playwright chromium. Now each closed shell is promoted to a solid and the errors point at the script.
