- Add UE::ToolTarget::CommitMaterialSetUpdate() and ::CommitDynamicMeshUpdate(). ::GetDynamicMeshCopy() can now return tangents if requested.
- Add IMeshDescriptionProvider::CalculateAutoGeneratedAttributes(). Default implementation does nothing, UStaticMeshComponentToolTarget implementation initializes auto-generated MeshDescription attributes. Used in ::GetDynamicMeshCopy() to get tangents (but requires a MeshDescription copy).
- Clean up handling of Tangents in Simple/OctreeDynamicMeshComponent. Add local MakeTangentsFunc() to generate the Tangents lambda, handle different cases and no-tangents fallbacks consistently.
- UDynamicMesh: add optional info arguments to EditMesh() and ChangeInfo struct. Add support for deferring change events from Edit funcs.
- Remove UBaseDynamicMeshComponent::InitializeMesh(), ::Bake() APIs, and add ::SetMesh(). Implement in Simple/Octree implementations, update all Tools that used those APIs.
- Add USimpleDynamicMeshComponent::ProcessMesh(), EditMesh(). These are now the preferred ways to read/write mesh.
- Update USimpleDynamicMeshComponent tangents handling. Externally-computed tangents are now taken directly from the FDynamicMesh3 attribute set. Autogenerated tangents are still computed and stored in an internal FMeshTangentsf, but this is no longer exposed for external updates.
- Remove UPreviewMesh pass-through functions for Tangents access, InitializeMesh() and Bake(). Add ProcessMesh()
- Update all affected Tools. In most cases these Tools have also been converted to use ModelingToolTargetUtil functions, instead of direct ToolTarget interface casting.

IntervalGizmo is now just registered and unregistered as needed by the MeshSpaceDeformerTool, as this is the only place it is currently used.
Previous implementation in InteractiveGizmoManager is left intact as there are a few uses outside of MeshModelingTools that need to be cleaned up before it can be deleted.
UTransformGizmo now requires it's Builder to tell it which sub-gizmo identifier strings to pass to the GizmoManager to create axis/plane/rotation sub-gizmos (and the code that registers the Builder must then provide these strings). This cleans up previous explicit references to UInteractiveGizmoManager static strings from UTransformGizmo.

Add insights profiling tags to RemeshMeshOp and FRemesher. Small optimizations to FRemesher::ProcessEdge(), which has surprising overhead for no-ops (ie edge is not modified).
Add FUniqueIndexSet, alternative to a TSet for constructing list of unique indices (eg when finding set of one-ring tris of a list of vertices). Generally more efficient, particularly for large sets.
Improve FSubRegionRemesher. Make VertexROI private, provide accessors and update usage sites. Optimize InitializeFromVertexROI(), which is an expensive part of dynamic mesh sculpting. Make FullSmoothPass_Buffer() compute in parallel.
ModelingTools:
Major refactor of DynamicMeshSculptTool to improve performance (2-4x improvement on large brush sizes on 1m triangle mesh). A single FSubRegionRemesher is now created and maintained for entire brush stroke, rather than recreating every stamp. This avoids the high cost of initialzing full-mesh constraint set, and allows re-use of various allocated memory buffers. Reorganize major sub-steps computed in a single brush-stamp tick to allow Async computation where possible. Replace some ROI TSets with FUniqueIndexSet. Instrument for Insights, remove old cycle counting.

- add support for VertexColor shader mode in EMeshEditingMaterialModes, handle in sculpt tools
- MeshSculptToolBase: add ability to hide view and brushop properties, add ability to show surface or volumetric indicator, add tracking of last-hit triangle ID
- add UPolygroupLayersProperties, standard property set for listing and picking from available Polygroup layers for a mesh
- add MeshGroupPaintTool, uses above extensions to allow for painting per-triangle integer polygroups
