A nominal ring may close within NominalContourClosure.Tolerance, and replay
already carried that admitted gap as slack when bridging it shortens the cut.
When the gap instead lies across the following edge, the emitted path starts
that edge at the ring's end point, so the cut is longer by the gap. Two checks
still compared at the exact epsilon and refused it as "invalid input":
- the retrace guard rejected any surplus length beyond 1e-8;
- Follows matched the edge's leftover sliver against the next nominal entity
and failed its direction check.
Both now use the ring's admitted slack, the same bound the shortfall and the
nominal side of Follows already use. Exactly closed rings keep the epsilon, and
a second circuit still exceeds the slack by a whole ring.
A0227-08's sprocket outline misses its start by 1e-6 and refused planning in
both keep-order and reorder modes; it now plans Ready and applies.

Capture and preparation agree that a nominal contour may close within
NominalContourClosure.Tolerance inclusively, which converted drawings rely on:
the sampled production corpus carries vertex gaps up to 1e-6. Replay
verification still compared those rings at the exact geometry epsilon, so the
one joint a rotated tool path legitimately bridges refused the whole plate
after the search had already spent its budget.
Census of 91 plates from 60 stored nests: every searched plate containing such
a seam refused with contour-accounting (4 plates, 76.5s of wasted search, worst
71.7s for one 11-part plate), and none of the 42 ready plates had one. Replay
now carries that same admitted endpoint gap as positional and length slack for
the affected ring only. Direction sign, coverage order, retrace detection, ring
counting and selected-emission binding keep the exact epsilon, and capture's
closure admission is unchanged.
With the fix the census yields 45 ready plates instead of 42, no plate changed
any other way, and expansion counts are identical wherever status matched.
P260805-01's 16-part plate plans in 0.76s rather than refusing after 4,129
expansions.
Tests: SeamClosureReplayTests covers seams of 0, 5e-7 and 1e-6 plus four
accounting faults (missing edge, reversed edge, interior shift beyond the
admitted seam, second circuit) that must still refuse, and the beyond-tolerance
capture refusal. OpenNest.Tests 3751, OpenNest.Engine.Tests 690 and
OpenNest.IO.Tests 79 pass; Windows-only projects cannot build on Linux.
