Three small leftovers from Task 7 / the inventory-quantity-tracking
removal that a final review caught:
- Edit.razor's custom-stock quantity input still had min="1" even
though its own helper text says "Use -1 for unlimited", validation
already accepts -1, and the add-form defaults Quantity to -1 - so
the field rendered pre-populated with a value the browser's native
min validation flagged as invalid. Matches the min="-1" fix already
applied to the catalog-stock input in Task 7.
- optimize_job's MCP tool description still claimed the optimizer
falls back to "available inventory" when no stock is configured -
that auto-discovery fallback was removed in Task 3. An LLM reads
this description as ground truth, so stale wording here actively
misleads tool use. Also tightened add_job_stock's stockItemId/
isCustomLength wording, which still said "inventory" for what is
now just the stock catalog.
- CLAUDE.md's CutListPackingService summary said InStockBins comes
"from inventory", nudging future readers back toward the
auto-discovery mental model this plan removed.
Point API client at the deployed service port and clear logging
providers to prevent interference with MCP stdio transport.

Consolidate duplicate logic to reduce code smells identified by Roslyn Bridge:
- Extract FlushPendingEdits() helper from Save() and Run() methods
- Simplify ClearData() to delegate to LoadDocumentData()
- Extract ConvertParts(), ConvertStockBins(), RunPackingAlgorithm() helpers
- Move DTO classes to separate Models.cs file

Add new MCP (Model Context Protocol) server project that exposes cut
list optimization tools for AI assistants. Implements tools for:
- create_cutlist: Optimized bin packing with parts and stock bins
- parse_length: Parse architectural format to decimal inches
- format_length: Format inches to feet/inches/fractions
- create_cutlist_report: Generate formatted printable text report
