ajandClaude Opus 5.5 e231e44f72 refactor(geometry): share box containment, union, rotation and cutout range checks
Private copies of tolerant box containment, box union, vector rotation and
the cutout proposals' coordinate-range check now use one helper each:
BoundingBox.IsWithin and BoundingBox.Union, Vector.Rotate, and
CutoutCoordinates.WithinRange. Tests pin the helpers bit-for-bit against
frozen copies of the removed bodies. No behavior change.

ajandClaude Opus 5.5 31525ba342 feat(cad): list keyed holes in the hole table
A closed contour around its center with at least 270 degrees of arc on
one center and radius now counts as a keyed hole, in its own row after
round holes of that diameter. Curved slots stay out: their long arcs wrap
around solid material, so the center is outside the contour.

ajandClaude Opus 5.5 970d2442d5 fix(expand): prune clearance checks and let wide gaps close to the target
Expand Spacing measured every ring pair of every part pair for each trial
move, so a packed layout of parts with holes took minutes per spacing
probe. Skip ring pairs, far part pairs and off-path parts whose bounds
already settle the answer.

Every pair was also held at its full starting gap, so parts could not
move toward anything and most layouts stayed at their entry spacing.
Part pairs may now close to the spacing being tried, never below a
smaller starting gap. Cut-offs and clamps keep their full entry gap.

aj 561f5be06c feat(engine): choose which edge strips count as offcut
Equal-cost plans break ties by the largest edge offcut, from any of the
four edges. A caller that wants the leftover off one way, such as a
shop that keeps only end drops, or a benchmark scoring the used sheet
height, had no way to say so. On the converted Nestbolt jobs the
extended Irregular search then found plans whose larger offcut is a
strip down the side, which Nestbolt scores as worse: b-blaz1-strip
3.601 -> 3.867, b-shirts-strip 2.674 -> 2.995.

NestJobOptions.OffcutCut (a CutOffAxis, default null) counts only the
strips one cut along that axis frees, for salvage credit and the
compactness tie-break alike: Horizontal the full-width bottom and top
strips, Vertical the full-length sides. PlateRemnant.LargestOffcut takes
the axis; NestJobCost, the time limit and clamp-removal recovery pass
it on. Unset, nothing changes.

Benchmark manifests accept "offcutCut": "horizontal" or "vertical".
With horizontal, one CPU, 20 s limit, Default:
  b-blaz1-strip  3.934 -> 3.333
  b-shirts-strip 2.995 -> 2.610
  m-box-deep     1.918 -> 1.276 (Nestbolt 1.251)

Manifests accept only the words horizontal or vertical (any case); a
list such as "horizontal,vertical" is rejected. PlateRemnant rejects an
undefined axis. Fixed strategies keep their own no-salvage tie-break
and ignore the option; desktop, Console and MCP do not offer it yet.

Mutation reds: 14/14 (offcut-mutations.py).

aj 8fb95e57b5 docs(geometry): correct slide band index comments
Reach is 2*sqrt(eps)*(1 + separation), the curve bound is an upper bound
on what the tests accept, and a curve extent is its circle +-|r| with the
slack carried by the reach. Comment-only; from the 55910d1f review.

aj 55910d1f9d perf(geometry): bucket slide entities by axis band
The band test still visited every entity pair. For boundaries of 24 or
more entities, EntitySlideEvents now builds bucket indexes over each
entity's perpendicular extent per enumeration (both sides for vertex
rays, the line-only side for arc-to-line, the stationary curves for
tangency) and visits only the bucket members, ascending, before applying
the same exact band tests. Range queries merge the ascending bucket
lists without repeats. Each extent is the band test's own acceptance
bound widened by a reach of 2*sqrt(QuadraticSlack)*(1 + largest
along-axis separation) for the quadratic tests plus a rounding term;
bucket numbers are monotone in the coordinate, so a query returns a
superset of the accepted entities in their original order and the
emitted events are unchanged. Geometry with any coordinate that is
nonfinite or beyond the band's coordinate limit is not indexed.

SlideBandTests adds large random boundaries (24-160 entities) to the
differential comparison against the frozen pre-filter enumeration,
reruns the band-edge sweeps with decoy entities so they go through the
index (including a far circle reached through the moving offset), and
checks index queries directly. Mutations killed: zero reach, line extent
without span slack, repeats kept by the merge or the sorted path, last
bucket skipped, points just above the minimum treated as empty, curves
in the line index, arc and tangency queries ignoring the radius, moving
index or measurement without the moving offset. Not pinned by a test:
the reach's rounding term (headroom).

Measured on converted Nestbolt jobs (Default engine, hermes, quiet
machine, one run each), before -> after: m-box-tool 47.1 -> 19.2 s,
m-mechanical-mounting-kit 45.9 -> 27.3 s, m-mechanical-cog-washers
74.7 -> 44.2 s, m-mechanical-small-brackets 23.0 -> 16.6 s. The nine
completed jobs keep identical placements.

aj a28b543634 perf(geometry): skip slide pairs outside the axis band
An axis-aligned slide can only meet an entity whose extent across the push
direction holds the ray. EntitySlideEvents.Enumerate now tests that band
before each vertex ray, arc-to-line pair and curve-tangency pair, and skips
only pairs whose kernels cannot emit. Margins cover RayLine's segment
tolerance (twice Eps of the span) and the rounding of SolveRayCircle's
discriminant. A pair with any coordinate or radius that is NaN, infinite or
beyond 1e150 is always kept, because the kernels' products can then turn
NaN and still emit. Surviving pairs run in their original order, so the
emitted events, and every slide distance, are unchanged.

SlideBandTests compares the full event sequence and FirstBlocking result
bit for bit against a frozen copy of the pre-change enumeration: random
line/arc/circle boundaries at four coordinate scales with offsets landing
on or beside the tolerance band, an arc swept across a nearly parallel
line's band edge, and nonfinite or overflowing coordinates along the push.
Mutations killed: zero span slack, zero quadratic slack, circle-line test
ignoring the radius, with zero margin or a shrunk radius, tangency using
the difference of radii, no coordinate guard, no vertex guard, moving
offset ignored, axes swapped. Not pinned by a test: the span slack's
factor of two and the quadratic slack's absolute floor (rounding headroom).

Measured on converted Nestbolt benchmark jobs (Default engine, hermes,
one job at a time): m-box-tool 70.7 -> 40.7 s, m-mechanical-cog-washers
115.1 -> 70.0 s, m-mechanical-mounting-kit 72.7 -> 44.9 s. The nine jobs
that completed (five M jobs and four B jobs; m-sign-1 still exceeds
300 s) produced identical placements before and after.

Holes and radii need sizes on the drawing as well as the overall extents. Select

Dimension. The value is measured live from the curve, found by its entity ID, so
it follows edits; only the leader angle and label offset are saved. A radius on
an arc stays on its sweep, and labels are kept clear of the curve and center.

Extension lines started at the extents' corners, which float in empty space on
angled or irregular parts. They now run from the dimension line toward the part
until they first meet the profile offset by a fixed screen gap, so they reach
the feature they measure without touching it at any angle.

Shops need a part's overall size on the drawing while converting it. Width and

stale. Only the placement is saved; dimensions never touch the program.

ajandClaude Opus 5.5 2a128c5a11 fix(planning): stop cutout leads at the feature centre line
Small features got leads that ignored their shape: full 0.15 leads at a
shallow angle along letter strokes, stubs at the pierce zone's edge in
round holes that could be pierced in the middle, and a lead aimed at a
letter's far pole that ran longer than configured.

Plan Cutting now limits a lead to the feature's depth at its entry, where
a second wall becomes as near. The pierce-zone fallback goes there first
and otherwise aims beside the entry rather than at the whole cutout's
pole. Pinned contours keep their leads, and wide cutouts are unchanged.

Centred pierces exposed the line/circle tangent test: its absolute
discriminant tolerance called a radial line through a hole under about
0.056 radius tangent, reporting a false contact at the centre. Tangent
now also requires the line to stay at the rim, which keeps true grazes
as they were.

ajandClaude Opus 5.5 b550640ef0 refactor: merge duplicated geometry, settings-file and form helpers
Roslyn Bridge flagged these as copy-paste clusters; each pair now shares
one implementation so a fix lands everywhere at once:

- Shape.OffsetInward/OffsetOutward differed only in the target winding.
- BestFitFinder kept its own copy of SpatialQuery's arc-extreme points.
- SplitDrawingForm rebuilt DrawingSplitter's clip-region grid for preview.
- GeometryOptimizer's collinear/coradial finders (one misspelled
  GetCoradialArs) become one generic FindRelated.
- Five settings files repeated the write-with-retry loop, and two also
  repeated the unit parser and unreadable-file filter (SettingsFile).
- ClampsForm and SupportGridForm repeated their row/box builders.
- Vertical/HorizontalRemnantComparer share a RemnantComparer base.

Behavior is unchanged except that Engine/NestStorage settings loads now
also tolerate NotSupported/Security exceptions, matching the other
settings files' never-throw contract.

ajandClaude Opus 5.5 4028dafb26 feat(cutoffs): trim a middle piece into a gap in the line
Trim refused the piece between two crossing cut-offs because a cut-off had
one start and one end, so a line could not be stopped short around a pocket
of parts without deleting it and drawing two. A cut-off now carries Gaps,
stretches between its limits left uncut: segment generation excludes them
like parts, so the line splits into segments that each take their own place
in the cut sequence. Trimming a middle piece adds a gap from one crossing
centre to the other (merged with any it touches), Extend near a gap's edge
closes it, and Swap Through-Cut refuses a junction a gap touches rather
than guess which side of the gap should run through.

Every reader of the limits treats a gap as uncut, so nothing waits for,
warns about or credits a cut that never happens: segment spans stop at a
gap, the cutting dependencies skip a part inside one, the clamp check
ignores a clamp inside one, the cutting-state and overlap stamps go stale
when gaps change, and a gapped line is never full span for the expected
remnant or automatic cut-offs. Gaps persist as an optional gaps array;
older versions ignore it and would cut straight through.

A manual cut-off ran the full sheet even when another cut-off crossed it,
leaving a Trim/Extend pass to clean up what Automatic Scrap Cutoffs does
on its own. New lines now run from their start edge, set by the cut
direction, and stop at the first crossing line. Tab switches to full
length for the lines that should run through, and the choice lasts until
the nest is closed.

ajandClaude Opus 5.5 0719476618 feat(clamps): give clamps their own clearance from parts
A clamp rail can now carry its own Clearance, the gap parts keep from
every clamp footprint, independent of part spacing. Unset, it keeps the
sheet's bottom edge spacing as before. Clamp blocks drawn under the
sheet can use close to zero so the laser only stays off them.

Plate.ClampClearance and NestPlateStock.ClampClearance resolve it once;
the engines, interactive fill/pack/push, the layout check, Expander walls
and automatic cut-off placement all read it. The interactive push now
holds clamps at their square clearance keep-out (the layout check's
shape) instead of the part spacing, so parts no longer tuck into its
corners; the clamped fill characterization digests are re-pinned after
checking the new layouts validate.

Persisted as an optional `clearance` on the .nest clamp rail and the
machine clamp settings; edited in Nest > Clamps and the machine's
Clamps tab.

ajandClaude Opus 5.5 35be95b843 fix(cutoffs): leave leads out of the open-contour trim hull
When a part's outline is open (a tab gap, say), cut-off trimming falls back
to a convex hull. That hull still included lead-in/lead-out points, so it ran
from the lead's pierce point back to the part and stopped cut-offs far short
of the material. Cutting through a lead is harmless, so the hull now uses the
material contour only, as the closed-outline path already did.

ajandClaude Opus 5.5 4ae50c8a73 feat(cutoffs): trim, extend and swap cut-offs against crossing lines
Operators could only drag or delete a cut-off, so changing which line runs
through a junction (e.g. letting a vertical split the sheet to keep a whole
remnant beyond it) meant deleting and re-adding lines. Trim/Extend edits the
existing start/end limits instead, so no file-format or planner change is
needed: trims stop on the crossing line's centre, extends run to the next
crossing or the sheet edge, and Swap Through-Cut (right-click a junction)
does both at once, trimming the through line's far side because only the
origin-side edge is certain. Edits undo as one step and re-place the changed
segments with PlateSequencing.PlaceCutOffs so a new separator is cut last.

ajandClaude Opus 5.5 a0c620690e fix(cutoffs): keep the cut sequence when cut-offs regenerate more segments
Regenerating a cut-off into more segments than were saved inserted each
segment at its old index, pushing later parts and cut-offs down; a reloaded
nest could cut its sheet separator before parts it splits off. Segments now
go after the parts saved before them, so a changed segment count never shifts
anything else. Files record every segment's place, and an older file's
sheet-separating cut-off loads last.

ajandClaude Fable 5.1 07a9739774 perf(cutting): plan plates faster with bounded fallbacks and prefiltered checks
Plan Cutting spent most of its time on work that never changed the outcome:
many-holed parts paid quadratic shape-pair and ring-containment costs before
any search, every plate was captured twice, and failing plates burned their
whole budget in exhaustive fallback passes that never found a plan on 127
production plates.

- OverlapMaterial: skip native shape pairs whose bounds are clear by more
  than the query allowance; gate polygon touch and winding tests on vertex
  bounds.
- LeadMaterialSnapshot: gate ring enclosure tests on ring extents when
  finding the perimeter and rejecting nested cutouts.
- CuttingPlanBatch: capture each plate once; the kept-order retry derives
  from the same capture through CuttingPlanSnapshot.WithPreservedOrder.
- JointCuttingPlanSearch: end the kept-order full pass and the sequence-free
  recovery and full passes after FallbackStalls (2) stalls' worth of
  expansions when programs are regenerated; plates with only fixed programs
  keep the exhaustive search so a refusal stays genuine.

On 127 archive plates (lead-ins cleared, 35" scrap cut-offs) total time fell
from 164 s to 102 s with identical outcomes; the problem-nest corpus gives
the same status and expansion count on every plate.

ajandClaude Opus 5.5 6a85593bd4 fix(planning): accept arc leads tangent to a straight edge at their joint
An arc lead-in meeting a straight window edge tangentially has a double
root at its joint. Rounding split it into two contacts a few 1e-8 apart,
or dropped it so the exact ray fallback reported the joint as an
uncertain contact. Either refused a valid entry, so N26-27U's windows
lost most of their entries and the plate never planned.

Treat a contact within 1e-6 of a joint its boundary passes through as
the joint, and let the exact line fallback skip ray hits at contacts
already recorded. The pinned-hole test now expects the other hole's
nearest entry rather than the fallback both runs used to share.

ajandClaude Opus 5.5 c6b6678a2f feat(planning): raise the head over cut parts as the last resort
When no search finds a route that keeps every rapid off parts already
cut, Plan Cutting used to offer only an unverified safest route needing
explicit acceptance. Cincinnati's own software instead raises the head
for such a rapid. Now the safest-route fallback marks each planner-chosen
rapid that still crosses cut parts with a HEAD RAISE comment, and the
plan is Ready with every raise listed. The strict search never marks a
rapid, and the batch prefers fewer broken checks, then fewer raises,
then less travel, so a plate that can be cut head-down never gets one.

The reader flags marked rapids and the checker sets their crossings
apart, in replay and pre-post verification alike. The Cincinnati CL
post writes M47 before a marked rapid whatever the M47 mode (the
distance-based safety raise is unchanged); the CI Fiber post writes a
new Head raise block and refuses marked nests while it is blank, since
its raise code is unconfirmed. Rapids into locked programs, cut-offs
and hole sub-programs are never marked and keep their findings.

ajandClaude Opus 5.5 0f1e5fb568 feat(planning): start contours at rounded corners, not mid-edge
Plan Cutting ranked a convex corner first, but a corner rounded by a small
fillet had no corner vertex: its tangent joints ranked level with straight
edge midpoints, so travel decided and a large part (P230323-02 plate 8,
PT06, 0.015 corner fillets) started in the middle of a 64-inch edge. A start
there can leave a step where the cut closes after the head has put heat into
the plate; at a corner it is hidden.

A convex fillet tangent to straight edges at both ends, turning less than a
half circle and reaching no further along either edge than its length, now
makes its two joints convex-corner entries. Each carries its reach from the
sharp corner it rounds, so ranking counts it on both sides of that corner.
Longer curves, half-circle ends and inside fillets keep their tangent joints.
Every perimeter on that plate now starts at a corner; the problem-nest corpus
has no plate below its baseline.

ajandClaude Opus 5.5 69a83b3ad9 feat(support): let a tab alone hold short parts the bed can't
Small parts such as 1.5" test squares on a 2" laser grid rest on at most
one grid point, so no single support tab can bring their center of
gravity inside the contacts and Plan Cutting warned "no single tab can
steady it" on every one. In practice a part that short stays in the
sheet on its tab, so the bed's contacts don't matter.

Cutting Settings > Tabs gets "Tab alone holds parts up to N long"
(CuttingParameters.TabHeldMaxLength, 0 = off, the default). On a plate
with a bed, a part the bed can't hold level whose length (long side of
its minimum-area bounding rectangle) is within the limit is still
tabbed, but any tab clear of inside corners steadies it, so Plan
Cutting, hand-placed lead-ins and the pre-post review warn only when it
has no tab at all. The setting persists with the cutting parameters and
is part of the plan state fingerprint.

ajandClaude Opus 5.5 6a9b81326e feat(planning): cut text-like cutouts in reading order
Serial-number tags with 27 stencil-text cutouts never planned: contour
recovery stopped at 16 holes, a lone part never got recovery, and the
remaining search kept leaving letters on the wrong side so rapids ran
back across letters already cut. Recovery now handles up to 30 holes,
runs for lone holed parts, and first sweeps the holes in reading order:
by their far side along the way they spread, each left from its far side
(stencil pieces face the next piece), ending at an outside entry beyond
every hole, with a few expansions per hole. Parts within the old 16-hole
reach keep the search first, so their plans are unchanged.

The eroded pierce now steps down through shallower levels so each entry
gets a pierce on its own stroke's centre line, and leads to the entry the
planner aimed at (falling back to the nearest wall), which the sweep needs
to leave a letter from the right place.

Small text and narrow slots often have no entry where the configured
lead-in fits, so Plan Cutting refused them. When every entry of a cutout
fails, the planner now erodes the cutout inward (to the pierce clearance,
or nine tenths of its inscribed radius when smaller), pierces at the
eroded point nearest each ranked entry and leads straight to the closest
wall, with no lead-out. Letter strokes pierce on their centre lines; a
tapering feature pierces at its widest spot. The lead validator still
checks every candidate, and cutouts whose lead fits are unchanged.

parts instead of slicing the band beyond it. The desktop dialog and Plan
Cutting also propose their own horizontal separator when that band beats
the X tail (opt-in for API callers via KeepHorizontalRemnant); a kept X
tail beside the band becomes a corner piece whose separator stops there.

ajandClaude Opus 5.5 98f8e98230 fix(cutting): curved leads meet the cut tangentially; arc lead-in sweep
Curved leads turned with the contour winding, which is backwards on outside
perimeters: arc lead-ins arrived against the cut, and Line + Arc / arc
lead-outs went the long way round on one winding. LeadTurn now gives the
arc's turn direction for emission, the pierce-zone check and the preview,
and the arc geometry mirrors with it.

At convex outside corners, curved lead-ins use the first-cut edge's normal
and arc lead-outs the last-cut edge's, whichever edge was picked.

ArcLeadIn gains SweepAngle (degrees, (0, 180], default 180) in the cutting
panel, settings, nest files and cut pins; older files read as 180.

ajandClaude Opus 5.5 479883e7ac feat(cutting): tab parts by width when the plate has no support bed
With support tabs on and no support bed, nothing was tabbed and nothing
said so. A new no-bed width range (NoBedTabMinWidth..NoBedTabMaxWidth,
the short side of the part's minimum-area bounding rectangle) now picks
the parts to tab instead. SupportTabSettings.Analyze makes the choice
for Plan Cutting, hand-placed lead-ins and the pre-post review; without
a bed any tab clear of inside corners counts. With no bed and no range,
the plan notes that nothing was tabbed. Cutting Settings > Tabs gains
the range fields, and the values persist with the cutting parameters.

ajandClaude Opus 5.5 07499fe1cd fix(engine): judge part spacing alike in the layout check and runner
NestLayoutCheck rejected Fill layouts whose interlocked arcs sat exactly
at the part spacing: its SpacingOutline circumscribes arcs by up to 0.001
each, more than the 0.0005 slack, so facing arcs overlapped. The runner's
placement validator measured inscribed 0.001 polygons instead and so
accepted gaps up to ~0.002 under the slack.

Both now find candidates with SpacingOutline and confirm them on
NativeContours, the native contours flattened at a twentieth of the slack
(moved out of PartSpacingReview, which keeps using them). The runner calls
NestLayoutCheck.KeepsSpacing, the same outline, tie rule and
confirmation, so the two validators accept exactly the same pairs.
Clears stays unconfirmed and stricter for engine certification. No
tolerance changed.

FixedStrategyEngine_IrregularJob pins now assert LayoutAssert.Valid with
unchanged digests; the NativeU 70-part grid's 28 reports were the same
cause and its test now requires none.

IJsonConfigPostProcessor lets a host keep a post's settings somewhere other

posts implement it; LoadConfig keeps the current settings when the JSON is

ajandClaude Opus 5.5 70e8666335 feat(posts): give the Cincinnati CL-707 settings the CI Fiber sectioned editor
The CL-707 config now declares sections, sentence-case labels and ranges,
so its dialog matches the CI Fiber one instead of the generic PropertyGrid.
The sectioned editor gains what the CL-707 config needs: optional (nullable)
numbers behind an enable box, editable tables for lists of simple records,
and a text field that suggests values from a table column (Selected library).
"Lead-in arc line 2 feedrate" is relabeled "Lead-in arc feedrate", which is
what #127 drives.

ajandClaude Opus 5.5 23f093fcc1 feat(nest): plates report the remnant they are expected to leave
Core PlateRemnant.Expected picks a full-span cut-off drop clear of the
parts (less kerf, nominal position for head-locked overcuts), else the
largest salvage edge offcut, else none below the nest's new persisted
MinimumRemnantDimension. NestJobCost's salvage offcut now calls the Core
rule unchanged. NestWriter writes a derived plate expectedRemnant that
readers skip, and /sheets reports it per plate.

ajandClaude Opus 5.5 15750949dd feat(nest): plates name the ledger item each sheet is cut from
Auto Nest on MaterialLedger stock now records which inventory item each
physical sheet uses, so ML can hold exactly those items instead of matching
by size.

- Core: Plate.StockItemCodes (entry i = sheet i of Quantity; empty = uncoded).
  Core invalidates it: a resize clears it (turning the sheet keeps it), a lower
  Quantity truncates it, a nest material/grade/thickness change clears every
  plate's, ClearAll clears it and new plates never copy it.
- Desktop Auto Nest: after a kept proposal is committed, LedgerStockAssignment
  deals each ledger row's codes to its plates in Nest.Plates order (bundles
  repeat their code; clamp-removal variants use their base row). Rejected,
  discarded or cancelled proposals never reach it. NestPipelineCommit.PairWithStock
  pairs committed plates with their solved stock; the engine stays ledger-free.
- Plate list tooltip: "Stock: CODE (location)"; locations are display-only.
- nest.json: optional plate stockItemCodes, omitted when empty, read leniently.
- /api/nests/{id}/sheets: new plates[] { index, width, length, quantity,
  stockItemCodes }; sheets[] unchanged.

ajandClaude Opus 5.5 ea1decc097 feat(autonest): load sheet and drop stock from MaterialLedger
Auto Nest's Stock Options gets a Load from ledger button that reads the nest
material's free sheets and drops from MaterialLedger's API-key-protected
GET /api/stock/opennest. Ledger rows are request-local: the engine sees them as
ordinary NestPlateStock rows with ledger:{n} ids and finite quantities, and they
are never written to Nest.PlateOptions.

- OpenNest.Data/MaterialLedger: settings file, read-only client (X-Api-Key,
  5 s timeout, closed LedgerStockResult set) and LedgerStockMapper (bundles and
  sheets one row each, same-size drops grouped with ordered item codes, unknown
  shapes and too-small items skipped, inch/mm conversion).
- Options: MaterialLedger URL and API key (DPAPI, CurrentUser) with Test.
- Auto Nest grid: Use, Qty and Source columns for every row; PlateOption gains
  request-local Quantity and Id, which NestStockBuilder passes to the engine.
  Ledger rows score by area; hand-typed costs stay saved.

ajandClaude Opus 5.5 455c543501 fix(verify): close contours whose cut runs past its start as a seam overcut
Converted part programs keep a source CAM's overcut: a hole's arc or a slot's
last line runs about 0.03 past the pierce along the first cut. The rapid check
only counted a contour closed when it ended exactly at its start, so every
overcut contour became an open fragment, the open-cut proof refused them, and
each part reported "Multiple interrupted/open cutting fragments" and an
unverifiable lead-out instead of being checked (P260810-02: all 50 parts).

ReleasedContourState now closes such a contour at its seam (matched at the
1e-6 seam tolerance, since a hole's two arcs carry centers ~1e-7 apart) and
lets the rapid leaving the overcut end ignore contact within that tolerance of
its departure. The nest now validates fully and reports the real crossings it
was hiding: rapids that cross the hole just cut.

ajandClaude Opus 5.5 fa70713bfc fix(geometry): treat near-joint contacts as the joint when classifying slides
Drawing data can fix a fillet's center slightly off the tangent normal, so
the arc's end sits ~1e-7 past its neighbouring line's end. The slide contact
classifier only joined entities within 1e-7, so a contact at that tangent
point read as two boundaries, was classified ambiguous and blocked the push.
In N26-243 this stopped a part pushed left along another once the parts
aligned. Contacts within 1e-6 of a joint now take the joint's tangents;
the 1e-7 incidence tolerance is unchanged.

ajandClaude Opus 5.5 d4269c1f06 refactor(cutting): merge circle lead settings into internal leads
Full circles now take InternalLeadIn/InternalLeadOut like every other
cutout; the ArcCircle lead settings and the cutting panel's Arc / Circle
tab are removed. Circle-specific geometry handling (radius clamp, angle
rounding, pierce zone) is unchanged.

Older nest files and desktop settings still load: their arcCircleLeadIn/
arcCircleLeadOut keys are ignored and no longer written, so re-planned
circles take the internal leads. Saved part programs are untouched.

ajandClaude Opus 5.5 48863d51c8 feat(support): add slat support beds alongside the grid
Slats are strips of a set thickness running the full length or width of
the table, one every pitch. A part's contacts are the corners of where its
material crosses a slat, so the support check and support tabs work as on
the grid. Nest > Support Bed... picks grid or slats; nest files store
type "slats" and support-grid.json keeps both layouts' values. Draw
Support shows the slats cut off to the sheet.

ajandClaude Opus 5.5 9c78b4ebec feat(machines): assign each nest a machine and keep the support grid per machine
The support grid was one shared support-grid.json, off by default, and a nest
had no machine at all, so a plasma table and a fiber laser could not have
different grids, and nothing could pick machine-specific behavior later
(lead-ins differ between laser and plasma; tabbing depends on the grid).

- Nest.Machine (id + name) persists as top-level `machine` in nest.json;
  malformed values load as none.
- MachineConfig.SupportGrid holds each machine's grid; a machine without one
  still falls back to the legacy support-grid.json.
- New and BOM import assign the Tools > Nest Defaults machine (first by name
  when none is chosen) and give the nest that machine's grid.
- Nest > Machine reassigns a nest and swaps in the new machine's grid;
  Nest > Support Grid saves machine defaults to the nest's machine.

ajandClaude Opus 5.5 993555dba6 feat(cutoffs): head-locked overcut at the far edge, reversible by Plan Cutting
Stock can arrive up to 1.5 in wider than nominal, so only the origin-side
edge is certain. A cut-off with a head-locked overcut cuts past the nominal
far edge with the head height locked, covering the oversize. With that lock,
Plan Cutting may start the far-edge segment at the far edge: overcut outward,
rapid back still locked, unlock, cut toward the origin. Without it the
direction stays fixed, as decided in Project Memory a20ea455.

- CutOff.HeadLockOvercut / FarEdgeFirst, persisted in .nest; HEAD HEIGHT
  LOCK/UNLOCK comment markers; far edge is quadrant-aware.
- Planner offers the reversed far-edge segment in the joint search, the
  safest route and segment insertion; Apply records the direction.
- Cincinnati CL and CI Fiber posts gain lock/unlock code settings and refuse
  head-locked cut-offs while either is empty.
- Automatic cut-off dialog setting (off by default, 1.5 in), kept between
  sessions and used for new cut-offs.

Lock codes and machine behaviour with the head locked are unconfirmed.
