Improves the exported text file format with better organization, visual
hierarchy, and comprehensive summary information.
- Add header with creation timestamp and overall statistics
- Redesign bar sections with clearer labels and formatting
- Replace verbose item format with tabular layout (QTY/Length/Tag)
- Add final summary section with totals and best/worst utilization
- Use Unicode box-drawing characters for visual separation
- Fix namespace references (SawCut.FormatHelper → FormatHelper)
- Add null safety with DefaultIfEmpty for empty bin collections
- Make _bins field readonly for immutability
The new format is more professional and easier to scan visually, making it
simpler for operators to execute the cut list.

Implements grouping of identical bins (same items in same order) to reduce
visual clutter in the results grid. Instead of showing 10 identical bins as
separate rows, they now appear as a single row with a count.
- Add BinComparer for deep equality comparison of bins
- Add BinGroup to represent grouped bins with count
- Update ResultsForm to display grouped bins in grid
- Add Count column to show how many of each bin pattern
- Maintain original bins list for file export
This improves readability when the optimizer generates multiple identical
cutting patterns.

Enhance Tool, BinItem, and MultiBin classes with:
- Input validation in constructors and property setters
- Guard clauses for invalid states (negative values, empty names)
- Business logic methods (CanFitItem, CalculateWaste, etc.)
- Proper encapsulation with backing fields
- Comprehensive XML documentation
- Override Equals/GetHashCode for value semantics
- Better ToString() implementations
These changes enforce business rules at the domain level and prevent
invalid states from being created.

Introduce Model-View-Presenter pattern to eliminate business
logic from MainForm and enable proper separation of concerns.
New files:
- IMainView: Interface defining view contract
- MainFormPresenter: Contains all business logic orchestration
MainForm changes:
- Implements IMainView interface
- Delegates all business logic to presenter
- Focused purely on UI rendering and user input
- MessageBox calls now isolated to view implementation
Presenter responsibilities:
- Document operations (open, save, new)
- Validation orchestration
- Running packing algorithm
- Coordinating between services and view
- State management
Benefits:
- MainForm reduced from 380+ lines to clean view implementation
- Presenter can be unit tested without UI
- Business logic is reusable across different UI frameworks
- Clear separation: View = UI, Presenter = logic, Services = domain
- All SOLID principles now satisfied

Refactor DocumentService and CutListService to return Result<T>
instead of throwing exceptions or using out parameters. This
removes all MessageBox calls from business logic.
DocumentService changes:
- Load() returns Result<Document> instead of Document
- Save() returns Result instead of void
- Validate() returns Result instead of bool with out parameter
- All exceptions caught and converted to Result.Failure
CutListService changes:
- Pack() returns Result<SawCut.Nesting.Result>
- Exceptions caught and converted to Result.Failure
Benefits:
- Services are now UI-agnostic (no MessageBox)
- Can be unit tested without UI dependencies
- Can be reused in console apps, web apps, etc.
- Errors are values, not exceptions
- Clear, type-safe error handling contract

Implement Result<T> and Result classes to provide type-safe,
functional error handling throughout the application. This
eliminates the need for exceptions as control flow and provides
a consistent way to communicate success/failure.
Features:
- Result<T> for operations that return values
- Result for operations without return values
- Map() method for functional composition
- IsSuccess/IsFailure properties for easy checking
This pattern enables cleaner service contracts and eliminates
the need for out parameters and exception handling boilerplate.

Create CutListService and DocumentService to separate business
logic from UI concerns, following the service layer pattern.
Changes:
- CutListService: Handles bin packing algorithm orchestration
and data transformation from UI models to domain models
- DocumentService: Handles document persistence and validation
- Document: Removed Save/Load/Validate methods (now pure POCO)
- MainForm: Refactored to delegate to service classes instead
of containing business logic directly
Benefits:
- Improved separation of concerns
- Business logic can now be unit tested independently
- Removed MessageBox dependencies from business logic layer
- MainForm is now focused on UI concerns only

Remove dangerous side effect where the Length property getter
was modifying the LengthInputValue field. Property getters should
be pure and not cause state mutations, as this violates the principle
of least surprise and can cause issues with data binding, serialization,
and debugging.
