- Authoring stage — polygon mesh editing: bevel, extrude, bridge, combine,
- separate, cleanup, boolean. Use for modifying existing polygon topology.
+ Authoring stage — typed polygon construction and editing: loft, lathe,
+ instance arrays, pivots, mirror, combine, separate, and cleanup. Use for
+ creating or modifying polygon topology from explicit scene inputs.
Not for primitive creation (use maya-primitives), construction-history or
DG inspection (use maya-node-graph), UV layout (maya-uv-ops), or material
assignment (maya-materials).

# maya-mesh-ops (Authoring stage)
- Polygon mesh editing operations. Strictly **modifies existing polygon
- topology**; all creation primitives live in `maya-primitives`, while
- construction-history inspection belongs to `maya-node-graph`.
+ Typed polygon construction and editing operations. `loft_sections` and
+ `lathe_profile` accept existing NURBS curves and require a polygon-mesh
+ readback. `array_instances` is capped at 128 objects and verifies every
+ instance transform. `set_pivot` reads back both Maya pivots. Primitive
+ creation remains in `maya-primitives`, while construction-history inspection
+ belongs to `maya-node-graph`.
Each tool declares `affinity: main` because every operation touches
`maya.cmds`; the dispatcher schedules them on Maya's UI thread via
`MayaUiDispatcher`.
+
+ The `modeling` group is `default_active: false`; load this skill and activate
+ that group only for authoring work. The existing `mirror_mesh` name remains
+ the canonical backwards-compatible mirror verb and now verifies that polygon
+ topology changed before returning success.
