The plates ListView showed stale part-count and utilization columns
after interactive placement, clone, or fill, because only the drawing
list was refreshed on the debounced PartAdded/PartRemoved timer. Also
refresh the plate rows when a drawing is deleted from every plate.
Parts drawn a few millionths over their sheet's work area (for example a
36.125006 panel on a 36.125 sheet with no edge spacing) pass NestLayoutCheck,
which allows Tolerance.Epsilon of overhang, but the Rectangles engine refused
them and left them unplaced. The engine now allows 90% of that slack: a box
that exceeds the sheet by no more than the allowance packs as exactly the
sheet's size, so it spans the axis and the overhang lands only past the edge.
The check's bounds slack is named NestTolerances.WorkAreaSlack (same value,
no behavior change) so the engine and the test layout assertion share it.
Rectangle-lane benchmark (91 strict + 77 boxable jobs): every layout valid;
4 jobs that left panels unplaced now place them (strict complete 86 -> 88,
boxable complete 74 -> 75, one more boxable job places 2 more parts); no other
job changed.
DefaultPlateFiller.PackArea (Default, Strip and both Remnant strategies)
now packs leftover parts with the shared maximal-rectangles packer instead
of bottom-left corner points. Every fit rule and pick mode is tried; the
layout placing the most parts, then box area, per priority tier wins, and
the strategy's own fill comparer breaks ties so remnant strategies keep
their clear side. PackBottomLeft and PackEngine are removed.
Rectangle-lane benchmark (91 strict + 77 boxable jobs) against the old
packer: no strategy lost a valid layout; Default, Vertical Remnant,
Horizontal Remnant and Strip complete 2-3 more strict jobs, and Strip
gains a valid one. Cost on jobs complete in both runs falls for every
strategy (Default -0.6% strict, -2.7% boxable). Default is about 7-10%
slower on the changed jobs.
Golden layouts for Default and both Remnant strategies are re-captured;
each is complete, passes NestLayoutCheck and repeats exactly.
Move the Rectangles engine's global and ordered pick loops into
RectanglePacking.MaxRectsPacker, which works on plain box sizes so other
fill paths can reuse it. SheetPacker maps part orientations onto it.
No behavior change: rectangle-lane benchmark results are identical job for
job (91 strict and 77 boxable jobs).
MaxRectsSheet only tracks free rectangles and has no job dependencies, so it
moves from the Rectangles engine into OpenNest.Engine.RectanglePacking where
the interactive fill packer can use it. No behavior change.
DxfImport_ArcBoundingBoxes_Diagnostic read a drawing from one user's
desktop, returned early elsewhere and asserted nothing, so the near-zero
sweep bounding-box fix (4053f1f) had no regression test that could fail.
Replace it with ArcBoundingBoxTests: a forward and a reversed arc with a
sweep below Tolerance.Epsilon must be bounded by its endpoints, and an
ordinary arc crossing 90 degrees must still reach the top of its circle.
With the 4053f1f guard reverted, both near-zero cases fail (the box grows
to the full circle); with it in place all three pass.
GeometrySimplifierTests hardcoded a customer DXF on one user's desktop and
returned early when it was missing, so the test passed without running
anywhere else. Read the path from the optional "SimplifierGapDxfPath"
entry in test-config.json and report a skip when it is not configured,
matching the other external-fixture tests.
Replace the customer part name in a RemnantFinderTests comment with a
neutral description. Customer drawings stay outside the repository.
EllipseConverter, SplineConverter and GeometrySimplifier each carried an
identical private SumSignedAngles. Move the unchanged body to
ArcFit.SumSignedAngles and call it from all three, keeping the ordered
accumulation, strict half-turn comparisons and empty/single-point result.
ArcFitTests compares the shared method bit-for-bit with a separate
test-local accumulator across half turns, the atan2 seam, multiple
turns, translated centres and NaN inputs, and checks that inputs are not
mutated. The converter winding characterization from 8664656 still
passes unchanged.
Desktop Auto Nest, Console --autonest, MCP autonest_plate and the API
NestRunner all run through NestPipeline, so nothing calls the old
orchestration any more.
Delete MultiPlateNester (with MultiPlateNestOptions, MultiPlateResult,
PlateResult, PartClass and PartSortOrder), PlateOptimizer and
PlateOptimizerResult, plus their tests. The explicit-strategy contract
those tests checked now lives at PlateFillService.ResolveStrategy, which
keeps its null-means-Default, canonical-name and unknown-name tests.
CreateFiller loses its internal visibility, which only the deleted
orchestrators used.
This breaks source and binary compatibility for external callers of the
removed types; whole-job callers use NestPipeline.Run or INestingEngine.
Skip FillGrid's Step 2 overlap check only when Step 1 checked this exact
row clean and the perpendicular tiling appended zero parts, so gridResult
still holds the same Part objects in the same order and poses. The local
rowIsVerified flag is cleared by every Step 1 skip or bbox fallback, and
any nonzero append (including partial-copy parts) keeps the eager check.
Debug work assertions pin the reduced overlap work (horizontal stripe
8->4 exact calls, 4->2 preparations, 16->8 triangulations; vertical
stripe 36->18, 4->2, 38->19) and keep single-seed, Horizontal full-grid,
partial-only and PerpOnly work at base; the invalid overlapping-seed
control pins both fallback stages plus the retained exact-call total.
Three mutants (forced eager check, dropped flag, complete-rows-only)
are caught by their designated controls. Serial whole-job layout is
byte-identical to the frozen 62b5a8d0 oracle before and after.
The reorder event snapshot could previously show the reverse pass's
stale timeout label. Set a sentinel before each click so the
ProgramChanged handler can only observe the label applied by the
current operation's highlighting pass.
Quality review of 50884da found the unshown RichTextBox oracle compared
cached CRLF text against the highlighted editor's native LF-normalized
text, which would fail on first Windows execution. Compare generated
text with normalized line endings on both sides instead, capture the
status label and preview state inside the ProgramChanged handler to
prove fallback-before-notify ordering, document the HighlightSpan
UTF-16 and rule-index contract, and pin the null-text argument check.
Address Task 3b quality review:
- FormatSize now emits invariant decimal notation so a comma-decimal
locale cannot produce stock text its own invariant parser rejects.
- Validation notices embed a bounded single-line preview instead of the
full cell value.
- Documented GetPlateOptions' all-or-nothing throwing contract.
- STA test helpers run the worker as a background thread with a
diagnostic timeout message; added a de-DE fractional stock round-trip
regression.
Adds docs/nesting-engines.md: which engine suits which jobs, the old plug-in
names the registry maps, retired engines, and the rule that an engine change
lands only when it beats that engine's current benchmark result with every
layout valid. README, release and automatic-nesting docs drop the bundled
plug-in wording; AGENTS.md now places built-in engines in
OpenNest.Engine/NestingEngines and keeps only external plug-ins out of the
solution.
Rectangles and Irregular now ship inside OpenNest.Engine.dll, so the Windows
package no longer fetches, tests and bundles OpenNest-Engines at a pinned
commit. Removes scripts/external-engines.json and the Engines/ folder,
manifest and license from the package; build-info.json drops enginesCommit.
ReleaseSmoke now checks the packaged registry: every built-in engine must
instantiate from the packaged OpenNest.Engine.dll, the Opus55NestingEngine
name must resolve to Irregular, and an unknown name must be rejected. Linux
check against a published OpenNest.Engine: pass case exit 0; missing engine
DLL exit 1. Full Windows packaging still needs the Windows runner.
Moves the two production plug-in engines into OpenNest.Engine under names
that describe the jobs they suit:
- Rectangles: plain and near-rectangular plates, maximal-rectangles box
packing (was the RectanglesNestingEngine plug-in)
- Irregular: irregular profiles, no-fit-polygon frontier packing (was the
Opus55NestingEngine plug-in)
Their tests and the shared engine contract/layout test kit move into
OpenNest.Engine.Tests/NestingEngines.
The registry maps the old plug-in names to the new engines, so saved desktop
selections, scripts and API requests keep working, and a leftover plug-in DLL
under an old name cannot shadow its replacement. Desktop startup passes the
registry's lookup when restoring the saved Auto Nest engine.
Capture the report target and reject whole-job nesting, open progress
windows, interactive fill and busy plate actions across every view
sharing the nest; revalidate after the save dialog, capture the snapshot
synchronously on the UI thread and render it through OpenNest.Reporting.
Windows adapter tests cover enablement, guards, cancel, success and a
write failure against an existing destination (compile-only on Linux;
Windows runtime acceptance still owed).
SQLite-backed (Microsoft.Data.Sqlite, WAL) minimal API storing NestRecord
metadata plus the .nest archive as a BLOB. Endpoints: GET/POST /api/nests,
GET /api/nests/{id}[/file], PUT /api/nests/{id}/file, PUT
/api/nests/{id}/metadata, DELETE /api/nests/{id}, GET /healthz. Multipart
upload contract matches RemoteNestRepository (metadata JSON part + file
part). Added to OpenNest.sln, builds standalone on Linux. Dockerfile
publishes to a runtime image listening on :8090 with a /app/data volume
for the SQLite file. docs/nest-storage.md documents the wire contract,
endpoints and deployment.
Full curl round trip verified manually against a running instance:
upload (server-assigned id + computed fileSize), list, get, byte-exact
file download, metadata-only update (archive unchanged), file update
(new archive persisted), 404s for unknown ids, delete, post-delete 404.
NestStorageSettings persists the file/database toggle and server URL at
%APPDATA%\OpenNest\storage.json following the EngineSelectionSettings
never-throwing pattern; missing config means File mode. NestRecord carries
the shareable job metadata, INestRepository defines the backend contract,
and RemoteNestRepository implements it against the nest server with
multipart uploads (metadata JSON part + .nest file part).
Add NestStatus (Quote/ToBeCut/HasBeenCut) plus MadeBy on Nest, written as
additive camelCase nest.json fields with PascalCase enum strings matching
the units convention. Legacy files and unknown status values fall back to
Quote. The nest info dialog gains a Status dropdown and Made By box.
Slice 2 of the nest report plan: pagination, overflow and dense-label
coverage on top of the Slice 1 one-plate library.
- NestPdfWriter: general multi-plate pagination. Summary/plate tables
continue across pages with repeated (HeadingFormat) header rows; notes
flow as an ordinary paragraph instead of a bounded cell; page headers
are wrapped and sized into the top margin; drawing areas are located
per page via DocumentRenderer.GetRenderInfoFromPage.
- ReportText: lossless pre-wrapping (MigraDoc clips an over-tall row and
lets an unbroken token overflow a narrow cell without warning), capped
table-cell line counts, plate-range compression ("1-2, 4"), and
A/B/.../AA map-grid row names.
- NestReportDiagram: label placement centers each part ID on its
PolyLabel pole (matching PlateView's LayoutPart), computed on a
placement-independent quantized copy so identical parts share one
label position. Parts whose ID cannot fit legibly at overview scale
get a lettered/numbered map grid and a zoomed, framed detail page per
crowded cell; the writer fails with plate/part/ID when even that
cannot place a label, or a plate would need more than 24 detail views.
- Tests: NestPdfLayoutTests (multi-plate totals/ranges/same-named
references, table continuation with no lost rows, long name/notes
wrapping without column overflow, mm units in all four quadrants,
dense-label detail views with hole avoidance, save/reload of the
tabbed/lead-in fixture with stale tab flags, invalid later-plate data,
late write failures against an existing destination, source
unchanged on success/failure), ReportPdf test helper (page/word/
content-stream extraction).
- docs/nest-reports.md: replace the Slice 1 one-plate limits section
with the general pagination/dense-label contract and the process-wide
PDFsharp/MigraDoc render lock.
Verification: Reporting filter 70/70; full OpenNest.Tests 2524
passed/21 skipped/0 failed; Engine 351/351; IO 77/77;
EnableWindowsTargeting=true full-solution build 0 errors; scoped
dotnet format --verify-no-changes exit 0. Preview PDFs rendered and
visually inspected (evidence: /home/aj/extracted/2026-09-29/opennest-report-slice2/).
Windows runtime, the desktop adapter and packaged-app font deployment
remain unverified (Slice 3).
PDFsharp/MigraDoc layout and font state is process-wide. Parallel exports
of the same snapshot laid text out differently (for example merged words
like "Total physicalsheets" and shifted table columns). Serialize the
whole render-and-save in NestPdfWriter.Write; reports are rare.
Regression test exports one snapshot 128 times in parallel and compares
page content streams with a sequential export; it failed with dozens of
mismatches per run before the lock.
