Cross the free throw line? Into the semicircle?

Foot across the plane of the free throw line (like free throw lane violations)?

Hand across the plane of the free throw line (like inbound defender crossing boundary line)?

Do we use the free throw line plane closest to the basket, or the free throw line plane farthest from the basket?

Any part of body touching the inside of the semicircle (like a player touching out of bounds, planes do not apply)?

Nitpicking? Yes. But other free throw violations are spelled out in such detail.
