hardware 3d view angle default

How the Adom Wiki (wiki.adom.inc) works and how to drive it with the adom-wiki CLI: the two storage layers (git page repo vs package registry), hosting source by pushing files (not a tarball), making packages, cutting per-platform releases, and the three-tier skill layout (user skills ship, dev-skills/ and publish-skills/ stay source-only). adom-wiki is the current tool; adompkg is deprecated.

for hardware pages w/ 3D viewer front and center when opening the page, can we default to an iso view instead of top/front? i.e. top/front/right corner looks best w/ lighting angle

Done and live on prod. 3D viewers now open on the viewer's home view, the same top-front-right corner you get from the view cube's home button, instead of the straight-down top view the camera used to construct at.

Details worth knowing:

It is not a hardcoded angle. The shell calls the viewer's own goHome() after the model loads, so the opening view and the home button are the same view by construction, and if the home pose is ever tuned in the viewer, page defaults follow automatically.
This applies to every wiki 3D viewer (component pages, molecule cards, full-view links), not just boards. Anything that was relying on the old behavior can pin it: ?camera=alpha,beta[,radiusScale] still overrides, and ?camera=0,0 is exactly the old top view.
Verified against the workcell mainboard: the board opens three-quarter with connectors, terminal block and standoffs reading in relief rather than flattened.
