Opus55 ignored NestJobPart.Priority, so the shared contract test (lower
number wins scarce stock) failed; lower-number priority now precedes its
placement score. SheetEconomics is replaced by the host's NestJobCost so
it optimizes exactly what the benchmark scores, and its footprint margin
comes from NestTolerances.SafeClearanceMargin plus four Clipper grid
units - the same 0.003 total as before, which keeps its contact points.
Synthetic benchmark (5 jobs, salvage 0.5): all valid, cost unchanged at
5452.79, time 611 -> 456 ms.

The 0.022 margin assumed validators flatten arcs at 0.01; NestValidator
uses 0.001, so a pair can read at most 0.002 closer than true. 0.003
covers that plus the 1e-4 Clipper grid, returning ~0.019 per gap. Arc,
disc, obround and zero-spacing tests still pass.
Part geometry filtered only rapids, so scribe/etch moves counted as
material - the bug OpenNest fixed in 1b5e1b1. Use SpecialLayers.IsMaterial.

Qwen3.8-Flash-Next's final version after a 14.5-hour optimization run
(its commit 7d7fca3): cost-first sheet trials, largest-area-first
demand order, and a cached-triangulation exact gate that brought a
219-part production job from timeout to ~106 s. 13/13 tests pass
against OpenNest master.
README cleaned for publishing: the model-facing template rules are
replaced by a one-line independence statement, the production job is
described generically instead of by its PEP job/file name (also in a
JobSolver comment), results show both sheet pools as re-measured here
(the 9-size claim in its report didn't reproduce: it grabs 96x240 and
under-fills them), and the stale StockLadder-crash note is gone now
that core leaves etch marks out of nesting.
Also drops a stale Aurora plugin reference from Opus55's README and
lists the engine in the repo README.

Engines are moving out of OpenNest so they can be published on their own
and so OpenNest checkouts handed to a model for an engine-building run no
longer contain the competing engines. History for Engines/ (and the
pre-move root-level engine folders) was carried over with git filter-repo.
Engines now build against a sibling OpenNest clone via $(OpenNestRoot),
overridable with /p:OpenNestRoot, with a clear error when it is missing.

Plugin engines (Opus55, Qwen, Terra) each add two projects at the repo
root, and more are coming; at a dozen they would outnumber the core
projects. They are also a different kind of thing: out-of-solution,
runtime-loaded plugins. Grouping them under Engines/ keeps the root
readable.
Engines/Directory.Build.props now holds the shared TFM, nullable and
implicit-usings settings and the OpenNest.Engine reference, so a new
engine's csproj is nearly empty. The tests/ compile exclusion lives in
Directory.Build.targets because a removal in .props runs before the SDK
adds its default Compile glob and has no effect.
Build-Engines.ps1 replaces the per-README manual build-and-copy steps
for deploying engines into the benchmark's runtime Engines/ folder.

Rename the OpenNest.Engine.Sonnet5 scaffold to OpenNest.Engine.Opus55 and
implement an independent whole-job INestingEngine (no built-in engine,
registry, or best-fit internals are called or copied).
- PartCatalog: snapshot perimeter -> polygon per allowed orientation, with
adaptive chord tolerance and MBR-aligned rotations for Automatic parts.
- NoFitCache: spacing footprints and cached Clipper2 Minkowski NFPs (convex
fast path; concave sweep plus both containment terms).
- FrontierPacker: per-(type, orientation) free regions (inner-fit rectangle
minus NFPs), updated incrementally; gap-fill-largest, else least front
advance per area^beta.
- Engine: look-ahead stock choice by estimated whole-job net area, six
deterministic variants, tail re-plan of the last 1-3 sheets.
- Tests judged by OpenNest.Benchmark's NestValidator, including an NFP
containment regression guard.
P260805-10.nest (219 parts), all 9 stock sizes: 219/219 valid, 27 sheets,
91.7% utilization, ~7 s.
