New Custom Feature: Point Overcut
Creates Overcuts ("dogbones") at selected points, with additional options such as offsets and filleting the resulting sharp edges.
Mostly written for me 3D printing square or hex holes for shafts, which usually bind at the corners of the hole.
Let me know if you find bugs or want more options.

Some help from CNC Overcut but mostly from scratch.
Re: Mates - How to prevent the last link from moving relative to the previous one?
the poster wants to be able to move one joint at a time, and have all joints further out to remain "fixed" relative to the part that is moving. but all joints must be able to be explicitly rotated at any time.
Re: Help with simulate a force load
tangentially, I wrote a statics solver for rigid bodies. But nothing is moving (hence "statics").

Re: New Custom Feature: Point Overcut
Nicely done! Seems to fill a similar niche to the Corner Overcut feature. I like your previews on this one. I've noticed for debugs the native features usually use red for issues and magenta for informational things. So instead of addDebugPoint(context, center) you could use addDebugPoint(context, center, DebugColor.MAGENTA)to be more in line with the native toolset.
Re: The one thing I HATE about OnShape.
I've run Onshape perfectly fine using my phone as an internet hotspot.
Re: The one thing I HATE about OnShape.
Looks like I can hotspot off my wife's mobile plan as a temp measure for a nice add on fee. Learning way more about mobile data than I want to.

Re: Help duplicating a sketch on another plane
Also for future reference, the box should have been drawn centered perfectly about the Front and Right plane, rather than the corner of the box like it is now. This allows you to use the default planes for symetrical constraints within sketcher, and for mirroring features outside of sketcher. It's a fundamental CAD concept and comes in super handy.
