- Add Drawing.HasCustomColor, set when a color is picked in Drawing
Properties or comes from a library record with a stored color.
- Persist it as customColor in .nest files (omitted when false) and keep it
out of drawing packages; split pieces inherit it.
- Recolor non-custom drawings from the active palette when a nest opens and
when the scheme changes; custom colors keep their palette slot.
- Library settings store a color only when it is custom.
- Document drawing colors in nest-file-format.md and nesting-view-colors.md.

Select entities in the CAD converter (click, or drag a window/crossing
box) and right-click to exclude/include them or set them to cut, etch or
display only, regardless of their DXF layer. Delete excludes the
selection.
Roles are stored per source entity on the drawing and persisted in the
entity set as an optional `roles` map. Display-only geometry is kept out
of the program, so posts, nesting and verification never see it; placed
parts draw it as a dashed overlay. Load-time scribe repair skips
etch-layer entities set to cut. Per-entity exclusions now survive filter
changes.

A hole can now be declared a tabbed cutout in the CAD Converter: pick a
circle or any edge of a closed hole, set the tab count and width, and drag
the tabs around the hole. The definition persists on the drawing and in the
nest file, and stays editable from the source entities.
The builder replaces the hole with open cut pieces and uncut spans on a new
Tab layer. Tabs are material, so area, nesting and overlap checks still see
a closed hole, but they are never cut. Plan Cutting and Assign Lead-ins cut
each piece from the slug with the internal lead-in and no lead-out. A lead
that would reach back over a tab is mirrored, and an arc lead onto an arc
pierces straight in. Planning accounts for each span between tabs and runs
the open-cut proof, so its own tabbed cutouts certify; tabs followed by a
lead-out are still refused. Pre-post review flags programs that still
contain tab motions.

Drawings flagged CutFirst (e.g. test squares) are sequenced ahead of
every other part: they get their own route with the chosen method, then
the remaining parts follow. Cutoffs crossing a cut-first part still
precede it. The flag is editable in Edit Drawing, persists in .nest as
`cutFirst` (omitted when false) and is kept by split pieces.

Forming backgauge tabs drawn as open cuts came off the sheet loose and could not be
planned. A breakoff merges the scrap into the outline and cuts the shared edge as
closed slots between tabs, so it stays attached and every pierce lands in scrap.

A library drawing can say how individual contours must be cut. A
`ContourCutPin` holds the entry point in the drawing's source frame plus
the lead-in, lead-out and optional tab used there; `Drawing.CutPins`
lists them. Nothing plans with pins yet (Slice 5).
- Pins accept only the exact built-in lead and tab types, copied through
the same owned copiers the planner uses, so a pin cannot carry a type
the emitter would not certify. Properties return copies: the pin is
immutable.
- A tab requires no lead-out, because the planner refuses a lead-out
after an open contour.
- The source frame is the frame of the source entities. It does not move
when BuildDrawing re-origins the program at its first rapid, so pins
survive converter edits that change Source.Offset.
`CutPinResolver` maps pins to (contour ordinal, entity ordinal, local
point) for a placement rotation, using the same `PreparedContours`
ordinals Plan Cutting will use. It never guesses: a pin must lie within
the contour closure tolerance of exactly one contour that no other pin
claims, otherwise it is reported unresolved with a typed reason. A
drawing program rotated in place (a canonical copy) is not the source
frame and resolves nothing; canonical copies and split pieces carry no
pins.

A nest drawing copied from the drawing library has to remember exactly which
revision it is a copy of, so later slices can tell when the library moved on
(D2b) and so a save can target the right drawing. `Drawing.Library` holds the
server key, id, revision and a snapshot of that revision's cut type, thickness,
material, grade, units, notes and package hash. It is immutable, so copies can
share it.
`DrawingDto.library` is additive and omitted when null. It is read leniently:
anything that cannot be trusted as a link drops the link with a reader warning
and the drawing still loads, because a nest must never fail to open over
provenance. Enum names are checked as single names since Enum.TryParse would
accept numbers and comma lists.
Copy paths: converter edits update drawings in place and so keep the link;
canonical engine copies carry it; split pieces are new geometry and get none.
Packages strip it so linking never changes a drawing's package bytes or hash.

Keep cut outlines dark and etch strokes bright green. Assign drawing fills by a golden-angle hue walk with varied saturation/lightness tiers, preserving legacy schemes and rendering-only behavior. Include palette, visibility, persistence, and contrast regressions.
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.

Repo-wide sweep with the pinned CSharpier 1.3.0 tool. Whitespace and
line-wrapping only; OpenNest.Engine.Tests (109) and OpenNest.IO.Tests
pass after reformat, full solution builds 0 errors.
Added .csharpierignore so csproj/config XML keeps its existing layout
(CSharpier's XML wrapping churns attributes with zero benefit).
Formatting is now enforceable: dotnet csharpier check . passes.
Entities now have a Guid Id for stable identity across edit sessions.
Drawing stores the full source entity set (SourceEntities) and a set of
suppressed entity IDs (SuppressedEntityIds), replacing the previous
SuppressedProgram approach. Unchecked entities in the converter are
suppressed rather than permanently removed, so they can be re-enabled
when editing drawings again.
Entities are serialized as JSON in the nest file (entities/entities-N)
alongside the existing G-code programs. Backward compatible with older
nest files that lack entity data.

Drawings created by BomImportForm and MCP InputTools were missing color
assignments, causing them to render with default empty color instead of
the standard part color palette. Moved PartColors and GetNextColor() to
Drawing in Core so all consumers share one definition.

Implement geometry-aware nesting using No-Fit Polygons and simulated
annealing optimization. Parts interlock based on true shape rather than
bounding boxes, producing tighter layouts for mixed-part scenarios.
New types in Core/Geometry:
- ConvexDecomposition: ear-clipping triangulation for concave polygons
- NoFitPolygon: Minkowski sum via convex decomposition + Clipper2 union
- InnerFitPolygon: feasible region computation for plate placement
New types in Engine:
- NfpCache: caches NFPs keyed by (drawingId, rotation) pairs
- BottomLeftFill: places parts using feasible regions from IFP - NFP union
- INestOptimizer: abstraction for future GA/parallel upgrades
- SimulatedAnnealing: optimizes part ordering and rotation
Integration:
- NestEngine.AutoNest(): new public entry point for mixed-part nesting
- MainForm.RunAutoNest_Click: uses AutoNest instead of Pack
- NestingTools.autonest_plate: new MCP tool for Claude Code integration
- Drawing.Id: auto-incrementing identifier for NFP cache keys
- Clipper2 NuGet added to OpenNest.Core for polygon boolean operations
