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.
