Chamlet feature first draft implemented. No inside chamlet support yet because the subtract complement boolean is a subtractive operation. Duh. I'm going to justify this as though I actually meant for this to be a woodworking feature for partial depth routed profiles all along. Yeah. Definitely that.
Most of y'all are probably going to be using this for outside corners anyway so I'll think about how to implement the additive operation in a way that doesn't suck later until someone in the design department comes screaming for it. I really don't want to refactor the whole thing with isoclines.

(This is very crude, mind, and I probably won't do much more refinement.)
Due to the lack of concave support with the method I chose I'll probably reopen the pandoras box of isoclines shifting my faces around but I maintain the aesthetic purity of a chopped circular fillet is still my end goal. My inspiration is this table that Scott Walsh made and he calls it a "thumbnail profile" in the video.
Actually now that I'm thinking about it there's a different way I could maybe take advantage of an isocline workflow using replace face on a copied tool body that lets me do my shifting and not mess up the original input body like I was struggling with before.
I'd also like to develop a full (but not actually full) roundover extension to this later for geometry like this:
But for now we're just gonna ignore that lil line on the circumference.
