- Convergence loop now uses FillLinear internally to measure actual
waste with geometry-aware spacing instead of bounding-box arithmetic
- Each candidate pair is tried in both Row and Column orientations to
find the shortest perpendicular dimension (more complete stripes)
- CompleteStripesOnly flag drops partial stripes; remnant strip is
filled by a full engine run (injected via CreateRemnantEngine)
- ConvergeStripeAngleShrink tries N+1 narrower pairs as alternative
- FillResultCache avoids redundant engine runs on same-sized remnants
- CLAUDE.md: note to not commit specs/plans

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.

Wire IDistanceComputer into RotationSlideStrategy, replacing inline
CPU/GPU branching. BestFitFinder constructs the appropriate implementation.
Replace PushDirection enum with direction vectors in BuildOffsets.
Rename IBestFitStrategy.Type and PairCandidate.StrategyType to StrategyIndex

Extract distance computation from RotationSlideStrategy into a pluggable
IDistanceComputer interface. CpuDistanceComputer adds leading-face vertex
culling (~50% fewer rays per direction) with early exit on overlap.
GpuDistanceComputer wraps ISlideComputer with Line-to-flat-array conversion.
SlideOffset struct uses direction vectors (DirX/DirY) instead of PushDirection.
SpatialQuery.RayEdgeDistance(dirX,dirY) made public for CPU path.

Three bugs fixed in NfpSlideStrategy pipeline:
1. NoFitPolygon.Reflect() incorrectly reversed vertex order. Point
reflection (negating both axes) is a 180° rotation that preserves
winding — the Reverse() call was converting CCW to CW, producing
self-intersecting bowtie NFPs.
2. PolygonHelper inflation used OffsetSide.Left which is inward for
CCW perimeters. Changed to OffsetSide.Right for outward inflation
so NFP boundary positions give properly-spaced part placements.
3. Removed incorrect correction vector — same-drawing pairs have
identical polygon-to-part offsets that cancel out in the NFP
displacement.
Also refactored NfpSlideStrategy to be immutable (removed mutable
cache fields, single constructor with required data, added Create
factory method). BestFitFinder remains on RotationSlideStrategy
as default.

NFP strategy has coordinate correction issues causing overlaps.

Calling ConvexMinkowskiSum directly with manual reflection produced
wrong winding/reference-point handling, causing all pairs to overlap.
Route through Compute which handles reflection correctly. Hull inputs

ConvexMinkowskiSum is O(n+m) with no boolean geometry ops.

Size(width, length) maps Width to vertical and Length to horizontal in

Remove NeedsSweep that triggered a 5-degree sweep (36 angles) when
the work area was narrower than the part. Position matters more than
angle for narrow areas, and the base angles (bestRotation + 90deg)

Refactor BLF to compute NFP paths as Clipper PathsD with offsets

CloneAtOffset shares the Program instance for tiling performance,
but rotating a part on the plate mutated the shared Program, causing
all parts from the same tile template to rotate together.

making user rotations independent.

PairFiller now returns PairFillResult (Parts + BestFits) instead of
using a mutable BestFits property. Extracted EvaluateCandidates,
TryReduceWorkArea, and BuildTilingAngles for clarity. Simplified the
candidate loop by leveraging FillScore comparison semantics.
Removed FillRemainingStrip and all its helpers (FindPlacedEdge,
BuildRemainingStrip, BuildRotationSet, FindBestFill, TryFewerRows,
RemainderPatterns) from FillLinear — these were a major bottleneck in
strip nesting, running expensive fills on undersized remnant strips.
ShrinkFiller + RemnantFiller already handle space optimization, making
the remainder strip fill redundant.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
StripNestEngine was passing progress directly to DefaultNestEngine.Fill
inside the ShrinkFiller loop, causing every per-angle/per-strategy report
to update the UI with overlapping layouts in the same work area.
Now inner fills are silent (null progress) and ShrinkFiller reports its
own progress when the best layout improves. IterativeShrinkFiller tracks
placed parts across items and includes them in reports. The trial box is
reported before the fill starts so the work area border updates immediately.

Draw only one set of preview parts at a time — active (current strategy)

When the first pair candidate places more parts than needed (e.g., 17
when target is 10), sort by BoundingBox.Top, trim from the top until
exactly targetCount remain, and use that Top as the new work area
height. All subsequent candidates fill this smaller area, dramatically
reducing fill time.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
When a target count is known, ShrinkFiller now uses FillBestFit (fast
rectangle packing) to estimate how many parts fit on the full area,
then scales the shrink axis proportionally to avoid an expensive
full-area fill. Falls back to full box if estimate is too aggressive.
Also shrinks to targetCount (not full count) to produce tighter boxes
when fewer parts are needed than the area can hold.
IterativeShrinkFiller passes NestItem.Quantity as the target count.

PairEvaluator already computes OptimalRotation via RotatingCalipers on
the pair's convex hull, but PairFiller.EvaluateCandidate only passed
hull edge angles to FillPattern. Now includes the optimal rotation

Introduces IterativeShrinkFiller.Fill, which composes RemnantFiller and
ShrinkFiller by wrapping the caller's fill function in a closure that tries

single-item placement with three passing xUnit tests.
