Every nesting-geometry consumer filtered only rapids, so scribe/etch
moves counted as part material. An etch tick that ends a hair outside
the outline (PEP bend ticks start on the notch edge) made the part
"open geometry leaving the material region": the job validator threw
and every built-in engine plus Gpt6Astra crashed on real PEP jobs
(PT75, drawing 4980 A01 PT77). Marks are only on the surface, so they
should never affect placement, collision, area, or validation.
- SpecialLayers.IsMaterial excludes Rapid and Scribe; used by drawing
area, canonical angle, part collision, PartGeometry, plate perimeter,
best-fit/pair evaluation, rotation analysis, GPU evaluators, and both
validators. Timing, display, splitting and posts still see marks.
- ConvertGeometry also maps the saved SCRIBE layer name to Scribe, so
programs rebuilt from stored entities keep their marks.
- NestReader repairs older files (e.g. PepNestExport output) whose
programs saved etch as cut moves while source entities kept SCRIBE.

GeometrySimplifier/ArcFit now fit arcs that pass exactly through run
endpoints while balancing tangency error between trusted and estimated
directions, fixing arcs that previously bulged or broke tangent
continuity at fillet/compound-curve junctions.
GravographIS post processor gains per-layer (engrave/cut) tool passes
via a new GravographISPostConfig, so ENGRAVE/ETCH-tagged geometry runs
as a separate scribe pass with its own feed/depth and an operator
pause before the cut pass (spring-floated spindle needs a tool swap).
