FillLinear now accepts optional RemainderPatterns that are tried in
leftover strips after the main grid fill, improving packing density
when pair patterns fit the narrow residual space.

The BestFitFilter's aspect ratio cap of 5.0 was rejecting valid pair
candidates needed for narrow plates (e.g. 60x6.5, aspect 9.2) and
remainder strips on normal plates. Three fixes:
- BestFitFinder: derive MaxAspectRatio from the plate's own aspect
ratio so narrow plates don't reject all elongated pairs
- SelectPairCandidates: search the full unfiltered candidate list
(not just Keep=true) in strip mode, so pairs rejected by aspect
ratio for the main plate can still be used for narrow remainder
strips
- BestFitCache.Populate: skip caching empty result lists so stale
pre-computed data from nest files doesn't prevent recomputation
Also fixes console --size parsing to use LxW format matching
Size.Parse convention, and includes prior engine refactoring
(sequential fill loops, parallel FillPattern, pre-sorted edge
arrays in RotationSlideStrategy).

Replace recursive FillRecursive with flat FillGrid that tiles along primary
axis, then perpendicular. Extract FindPlacedEdge, BuildRemainingStrip,
BuildRotationSet, FindBestFill helpers. Use array-based DirectionalDistance
to eliminate allocations in FindCopyDistance and FindPatternCopyDistance.
Simplify FindSinglePartPatternCopyDistance to delegate to FindCopyDistance.

"Length" is more natural than "height" for flat plate materials.
Renames the field on OpenNest.Geometry.Size, Box.Height property,
and all references across 38 files.

The push algorithm's copy distance formula (bboxDim - slideDistance)
produced distances smaller than the part width when inflated boundary
arc vertices interacted spuriously, causing ~0.05 unit overlaps between
all adjacent grid parts.
Two fixes applied:
- Clamp ComputeCopyDistance to bboxDim + PartSpacing minimum
- Use circumscribed polygons (R/cos(halfStep)) for PartBoundary arc
discretization so chord segments never cut inside the true arc,
eliminating the ChordTolerance offset workaround
Also parallelized three sequential fill loops using Parallel.ForEach:
- FindBestFill angle sweep (up to 38 angles x 2 directions)
- FillPattern angle sweep for group/pair fills
- FillRemainingStrip rotation loop
Added diagnostic logging to HasOverlaps, FindCopyDistance, and
FillRecursive for debugging fill issues.
Test result: 45 parts @ 79.6% -> 47 parts @ 83.1%, zero overlaps.

When the greedy maximum-row tiling leaves a thin remainder, tries removing
the last row and re-filling the larger strip. Picks whichever total is
higher. Fixes cases where e.g. 4 rows + 11 remainder = 47 beats 5 rows = 45.

Pre-size TilePattern result list from estimated copy count to avoid
resizing. Remove redundant Program.BoundingBox() call and UpdateBounds()
in MakeSeedPattern — the Part's BoundingBox is already correct.

max(aUpper_i - bLower_j) across all pairs simplifies to
max(aUpper) - min(bLower), computed in a single pass.

FindCopyDistance and FindPatternCopyDistance were cloning entire Parts
(including deep Program copies) just to get offset locations for
GetLines. Compute offset locations directly instead. Also skip the
Pattern wrapper in TilePattern — clone parts directly.

Part.Clone() re-clones from the drawing's unrotated program, re-rotates,
and walks all CNC codes twice for bounding box — 4 O(c) passes per clone.
CloneAtOffset clones from the already-rotated program and computes the
bounding box arithmetically, reducing to 1 O(c) pass per clone.

Narrow remnant strips now get more parts by:
- Sweeping rotations every 5° when the strip is narrower than the part
- Including all pairs that fit the strip width (not just top 50 by area)
- Placing individual parts from incomplete pattern copies that still fit
- Using finer polygon tolerance (0.01) for hull edge angle detection

Extract MakeSeedPattern for shared part creation, and replace the
two-step primary/perpendicular tiling with a single FillRecursive
method that tiles along one axis then recurses perpendicular.

Extract offset polygon computation into PartBoundary, which builds
and caches inflated boundary polygons per unique part geometry.
FillLinear now uses symmetric half-spacing and reuses boundaries
across tiling passes, avoiding redundant offset calculations.

FindPatternCopyDistance now checks every pair of parts across adjacent
patterns so that multi-part patterns (e.g. interlocking pairs) maintain
correct spacing between ALL parts, not just the bounding boxes. The
original single-part logic is preserved as a fast path.

Offset the moving shape's geometry by PartSpacing instead of adding
spacing linearly to the copy distance. This guarantees minimum clearance
in all directions for curved/complex shapes, not just along the slide axis.

Merge ActionAddPart into ActionClone by adding a Drawing constructor,
eliminating the redundant class. ActionClone now handles both adding
new parts from a drawing and cloning selected part groups. Added
Ctrl+F fill support for groups using FillLinear pattern tiling, and
adopted quadrant-aware push directions from ActionAddPart. Refactored
FillLinear to extract shared helpers and add a Fill(Pattern) overload
for tiling arbitrary part groups across the work area.
