Consider this simple shape:
Why does Onshape show the intersection of the fillet with the flat surfaces as edges? It looks like I cut a tiny bit too deep with a mill.
I want the actual edges to show, but not the intersections of the fillet, which should be invisible.

to expand on what adrian said:
This is a basic concept to learning solid modeling. Vertices, edges & faces make up a solid model.
Truth:
-every edge has 2 faces (at least in pro/e)
-vertices can have multiple edges
-a "solid" is a volume defined by a face or faces (once again pro/e)
While this may seem trivial, these 3 little nouns hold all the secrets to solid modeling.
This is so fundamental to what's going on here, you'll appreciate the importance more as time goes on.
Mastering these 3 nouns:
My vote, I want to see the face edges in the brep definition. Please don't take those away.
