OpenAI reuses model codenames across generations (GPT-6 reused
GPT-5.6's Sol and Luna), so a bare codename like "Astra" can't
identify which model built the engine. Prefixing the model version
keeps engine names unambiguous as more runs are added. The CLR type
is now Gpt6AstraNestingEngine, so benchmark reports show the new name.

Each engine-building run started from a hand-copied scaffold (Qwen's),
which carried that engine's name and stale notes. _Template holds the
generic scaffold with a __NAME__ placeholder, and New-Engine.ps1 stamps
out a named copy. The template's starter tests go through the
benchmark's NestValidator, so a model gets a real pass/fail target
instead of a plumbing-only check; they were verified to pass against
Opus55.
Directory.Build.props now also detects when it sits in an Engines/
folder inside an OpenNest checkout, so an engine stamped there with
-IncludeBuildFiles builds without passing OpenNestRoot.

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.
