hexera-platform (hexera-core)VerificationConfidence: Medium

A platform permission bug (403s on every mesh pass, no actAs or image-pull grants) was reported to the user as a fault in their CAD ('two faces lie on top of each other'), after 39 minutes and a booked 961 GiB VM. The mesh size itself came from boss pockets cut exactly to the tube's inner radius, leaving zero-thickness skins.
