Slice 3b task 3 (D9 + display). OpenNest.Core: TimingInfo gains
ClampRemovalMinutes (included in +, -, * so every aggregation stays
consistent); Timing.GetTimingInfo(Plate) adds plate.ClampRemovalMinutes
once per physical sheet, before the quantity multiply so it scales
with everything else cut on that sheet; CalculateTime adds it to the
estimate as a flat number of minutes regardless of the cut parameters'
unit. A plate with nothing removed is unaffected (zero).
OpenNest.Data: ClampSettings and ClampRailEditor carry RemovalMinutes
through the same three boundaries as clamp size - the rail/constructor,
the settings file (missing key falls back to
ClampRail.DefaultRemovalMinutes; present but negative/non-numeric/null
is ignored and reported Partial, same as width/depth), and
ToMachineDefaults - except it is a time, not a length, so
ConvertedTo never scales it between inches and millimeters.
Desktop: ClampsForm gets a 'Minutes to remove and replace one clamp'
field wired to the editor; PlateRenderer.DrawRemovedClamps draws each
clamp Plate.RemovedClamps lists (resolved from the full rail, since a
removed clamp is absent from Plate.ClampZones) as a dashed grey
outline with a small 'remove' marker, distinct from an active clamp's
solid hatch and still display-only - no hit test, selection or
sequencing; PlateView calls it right after the active-zone pass.
MainForm's Auto Nest completion flow lists every committed sheet with
a removal as 'Sheet N: remove clamp-X (+5 min)', using
Plate.RemovedClamps/ClampRemovalMinutes from Slice 3b tasks 1-2.
Tests: 10 new Data (ClampSettingsTests, ClampRailEditorTests) covering
round-trip/default/invalid-value handling and the never-scaled-by-units
rule; 4 new Core (TimingTests) covering the per-sheet add, the quantity
scaling, CalculateTime, and nest-level aggregation across plates.
Desktop changes (dialog field, renderer, Auto Nest summary) are
compile-verified only (-p:EnableWindowsTargeting=true), matching the
project's existing WinForms testing bar - no automated UI test exists
for the sibling DrawClampZones either.
Gates: Release OpenNest.Tests 3898 passed/31 skipped, OpenNest.IO.Tests
105 passed, OpenNest.Engine.Tests 878 passed/2 skipped; desktop and
OpenNest.WinForms.Tests cross-builds clean; scoped dotnet format
--verify-no-changes clean.
This completes Slice 3b (D8/D9) on top of Slice 3's rail-following
plates. Not published; master and other feature/clamp-zones-* branches
untouched. Windows runtime/visual acceptance not claimed - the plan's
click-through checklist (after slices 3-5) still applies.
New and BOM import give a new nest the machine clamp rail from
clamps.json when it is enabled, converted to the nest's units; with the
default (off) settings nests are created exactly as before. An
unreadable or partly invalid settings file warns once per session.
Nest > Clamps... edits the current nest's rail: clamp width and depth
and a sorted list of X centers with Add/Remove. OK applies the rail to
every plate (Cancel discards the edits); Load Machine Defaults only
fills the dialog; Save as Machine Defaults writes clamps.json at once
and is labelled as not undone by Cancel. The dialog refuses to open
while nesting or a plate action runs. Its decisions live in the
Linux-tested ClampRailEditor; the form only renders and forwards input.
PlateView draws clamp zones as translucent hatched amber rectangles
over the sheet and parts and repaints when they change. They take part
in no hit test, selection or sequencing.
