Curved leads turned with the contour winding, which is backwards on outside
perimeters: arc lead-ins arrived against the cut, and Line + Arc / arc
lead-outs went the long way round on one winding. LeadTurn now gives the
arc's turn direction for emission, the pierce-zone check and the preview,
and the arc geometry mirrors with it.
At convex outside corners, curved lead-ins use the first-cut edge's normal
and arc lead-outs the last-cut edge's, whichever edge was picked.
ArcLeadIn gains SweepAngle (degrees, (0, 180], default 180) in the cutting
panel, settings, nest files and cut pins; older files read as 180.

Full circles now take InternalLeadIn/InternalLeadOut like every other
cutout; the ArcCircle lead settings and the cutting panel's Arc / Circle
tab are removed. Circle-specific geometry handling (radius clamp, angle
rounding, pierce zone) is unchanged.
Older nest files and desktop settings still load: their arcCircleLeadIn/
arcCircleLeadOut keys are ignored and no longer written, so re-planned
circles take the internal leads. Saved part programs are untouched.

Plan Cutting is now the only automatic lead-in assignment, and parts the
support grid cannot hold level are reported wherever they lack a
steadying tab.
- Remove Assign Lead-ins (plate and nest), LeadInAssigner, the lead-in
tool's Auto-Assign button and the Auto Tab size range; old settings
with autoTab sizes still load
- Manual Place Lead-in tabs the clicked entry when support tabs are on
and the grid cannot hold the part (SupportTabSettings)
- New PartSupport finding: Plan Cutting replay and best-effort plans
warn when a drawing pin, a lead-in that does not fit or no single tab
leaves a part unsteady; the pre-post review checks each placed
program's outside tab gap. These warnings replace the advisory
weak-tab notes; only the inside-corner tab note stays advisory, and
never for a pin
- Pinned perimeters keep their pin but carry the support analysis
- Draw grid points as pixel-snapped squares without anti-aliasing
- Post fixtures build lead-ins through a test-only TestLeadIns helper
- Docs: support tabs, pre-post verification and planner notes

Thick plate pierces leave a crater wider than the kerf. CuttingParameters.PierceDiameter
(Cutting Settings > Pierce Diameter, 0 = off) requires every lead-in pierce to keep half
of it from all part material: its own contour, its holes and every other part.
- LeadPathValidator checks the zone during Plan Cutting candidate checks and final
replay; fixed emissions warn as usual. No-fit findings explain the zone.
- PierceZoneReview reports Pierce zone warnings before posting for leads from any source.
- Holes whose configured pierce is inside the zone move it toward the hole's PolyLabel
pole (round holes: the centre), as close to the contour as the zone allows; a hole
too small for the zone is pierced at its pole and the shortfall is still reported.
- Straight corner leads and round-hole clamping use the larger of PierceClearance and
the zone radius. The manual lead-in preview shares the Core rules.
- Persisted through the DTO, owned copies and state fingerprint.
Perimeter fallback is not included; see docs/geometry/pierce-zone.md.
