Report, dialog and diagnostic text across post verification, cutoff
planning, alignment and cutting-plan review repeatedly told the user
what checks weren't (safety certifications, proof, guarantees) instead
of what to do. Reworded these to state the same caveats affirmatively
(inspect X, confirm Y, review Z) without changing the underlying
safety guidance, and updated the tests/docs that pinned the old wording.
ContourEntrySelection: lazy bounded selection over one contour's ranked
candidates. Greedy global rank order until the cap (default 16) fills or
the finite catalogue ends; blocked and incomplete candidates never
consume a slot, and once selection settles the untouched tail is never
evaluated (EvaluatedCount/EvaluatedKeys pin the counts, not timings).
At caps of 4+ a corrective scan represents every side of the candidate
bounding rectangle that HAS a feasible candidate — lazily chasing each
missing side and replacing the worst selected candidate only when every
other covered side survives; one corner may cover two sides. The cap is
never exceeded and points are never manufactured on infeasible sides;
caps 1-3 obey cap+ranking first, as promised. Verdicts memoize per
attempt; duplicate geometric points never take two slots.
Honest metadata: Choices/EvaluatedCount/Shortfall/Reason with None,
Exhausted and Incomplete kept distinct — 'no tested lead-in fits' is
producible only from a fully evaluated Exhausted catalogue; incomplete
checks and cancellation are never presented as geometric impossibility.
Sides are exactly the ranker's bounding-rectangle geometry. No search
changes and no larger search budget.
