The gap-fill pass stopped on a 120 ms stopwatch and QWEN_* environment
variables switched strategies, so the same job could nest differently
with machine load or environment. Gap fill now stops after eight failed
insertion sweeps, and the switches are internal properties with the
old defaults. Part reading, work area, rotation angles, scoring and
result assembly now use the host APIs; its collision gate is unchanged.
Synthetic benchmark (5 jobs, salvage 0.5): all valid, cost 7660.01 ->
7572.05, time 839 -> 553 ms. Not yet calibrated on production-size jobs.

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.
