The 35% area cap was refusing a user-requested 'hand' region (47% of
frame) with no way to override it — the code was unilaterally deciding
the request 'wasn't a detail pass' when the user never asked for that
judgment. Fair complaint: cost guardrails are not the same as content
decisions.
detail_max_area is now threaded end-to-end (detailing.area_cap param ->
sampler widget -> Editor knob in Chain Sampler > Experimental, 0.05-1.0,
default 0.35 unchanged). Raising it lets a region of any size through;
1.0 = no cap. The refusal note now points at the actual setting name
instead of citing a fixed constant.
