AutomaticEntryCandidatesWithFallbacks completes the uncapped catalogue
with tier-3 fallbacks after the preferred points: native arc midpoints,
the eight compass points of a whole circle (a pure-circle contour is now
usable instead of refusing), near-convex-corner points on each incident
straight edge back from the corner by 2 x the applicable lead-in length
using the emitter's own SelectLeadIn semantics (non-length lead-in styles
contribute 0 and the fallback is omitted, never approximated), and the
exact target-facing closest point toward the caller's look-ahead. Every
fallback runs through the same reflex/cusp exclusion — a raw closest
point or an inset landing on a forbidden inside corner is dropped — and
the same geometric duplicate merge; short edges omit an out-of-segment
inset by projection parameter instead of extrapolating. No ranking and
no lead-safety verdict yet.
Internal PreparedContours.AutomaticEntryCandidates builds the uncapped
preferred start catalogue per contour from the contour's own winding:
convex corners, then straight-edge midpoints, then line/arc tangent
joints, deduplicated geometrically with the preparation epsilon (the
most preferred metadata wins at equal points). Reflex and cusp vertices,
collinear splits and circles are never enumerated for automatic placement;
hole slugs classify from their own travel. Manual Entry/ClosestEntry and
the legacy Entries API are unchanged; emission wiring comes in S09.
