From 3f3d95a5e4c01853dfc7acdd1caf4df0c0cf0698 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: AJ Isaacs Date: Sat, 21 Mar 2026 09:22:13 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] fix: orient pair short side along primary axis before convergence The convergence loop now ensures the pair starts with its short side parallel to the primary axis, maximizing the number of pairs that fit. Also adds ConvergeStripeAngleShrink to try N+1 narrower pairs, and evaluates both expand and shrink results to pick the better grid.
