ajandClaude Opus 5.5 5dff83cfb8 fix(server): reject duplicate nest ids, invalid metadata and bare --database
- POST /api/nests with an existing id (active or deleted) now returns 409 with
  the current record instead of a 500 from the UNIQUE constraint.
- Uploaded nest metadata must have string text fields and a defined status;
  null fields and undefined statuses (e.g. 99) are 400 instead of a 500 or a
  stored invalid value.
- --database <path> is accepted alongside --database=<path>; a missing or
  repeated path fails startup instead of silently using OPENNEST_DB/default.

ajandClaude Opus 5.5 3a7073d38c fix(posts): post Cincinnati CL holes where and as drawn, in sequence
Hole sub-programs are stored incremental but were written under G90 as
if absolute, producing invalid arcs. The registry now posts absolute
copies and leaves the nest's programs untouched.

Sheet-level hole calls omitted the part location from G52, so every
part's holes were cut near the sheet origin. Calls now shift to the
part location plus the hole offset.

Hole calls were matched to sub-programs by call id, which planned
emission numbers 1, 2, ... per drawing, so holes from different drawings
shared the first drawing's sub-program and diameter. Calls are now keyed
by program reference and deduplicated by posted toolpath.

A part opening with a hole call got a synthetic rapid that posted an
empty pierce on the part edge. The rapid is now only inserted before a
contour motion with no rapid ahead of it; the hole call carries the
part comment and safety head raise that feature used to hold.

The sheet writer re-sorted parts bottom-then-left with cut-offs last.
Plate order is the cut sequence, so parts now post in plate order.

Regression tests replay the posted G-code for off-origin parts of
several drawings and check each hole's center and radius.

ajandClaude Opus 5.5 00acaeaaf1 feat(engine): report best whole-job plans from Rectangles, Circles and Default
Desktop Auto Nest's "Best plan so far" strip now fills in for every built-in
whole-job engine except FlatBar, not only Irregular.

- Rectangles makes one sheet-by-sheet run, so it reports the finished job as
  its one plan, then replays its plate commits (token checked as before).
- Circles reports when a stock-preference run or a tail re-plan beats its
  best result so far.
- Default scores each candidate plan as it ranks results (valid, fewest
  unplaced, lowest cost, candidate order) and reports it only when it beats
  every plan already shown, so a later candidate never shows a worse plan.
  The chosen result is always the last plan reported.
- Shared ReportPlan/SameLayout helpers on CandidateProgress; Irregular uses
  them too. Reporting never changes the search.

ajandClaude Opus 5.5 cd2bea054b feat(desktop): show Auto Nest as a sheet strip with a Keep/Discard review
Auto Nest no longer draws parts on the plate view before they are kept:
its result is a set of sheets, possibly of several sizes, not parts on the
current plate. Ghost parts stay with interactive Fill and remnant tools.

- NestJobStage.PlanImproved carries an engine's best whole-job plan so far;
  Irregular reports one whenever a variant or the tail re-plan beats it.
- NestPipeline adds PlanSheets: the plan on detached drawings built from
  the job geometry (with the caller's names and colors), so previews never
  touch caller drawings or quantities.
- SheetStripControl draws every sheet side by side at one scale, repeats
  once with their count, captioned with size, parts and utilization.
- The progress window shows "Best plan so far"; a review window shows the
  final sheets, totals, cost summary and unplaced parts before commit.

ajandClaude Opus 5.5 d384e63068 feat(desktop): draw Auto Nest previews on the trial sheet
NestProgress gains PreviewSheet, a detached plate for the stock the preview
parts lie on; Irregular builds one per stock. PlateView draws it (size, edge
spacing, clamps) in place of the plate while the preview is shown and drops
it whenever the preview is cleared or the plate changes. Auto Nest zooms out
when a trial sheet falls outside what it has already shown.

ajandClaude Opus 5.5 c997b2e588 feat(engine): live sheet preview while Irregular packs
The frontier packer reports its placements after each choice; the engine
turns them into preview parts at most four times a second and sends them as
NestProgress.BestParts with the stock work area, which desktop Auto Nest
already draws on the plate view. Reporting only reads finished placements,
so layouts are unchanged with or without a progress sink.

ajandClaude Opus 5.5 0baa737162 fix(nest): anchor placed parts when an edit moves origin
Converter edits rebuild a drawing's program around its first pierce, so
Source.Offset can move (legacy drawings with no source entities, or a
tabbed/hidden contour changing the first cut). Part.Update kept the old
Location, shifting placed parts by the rotated origin delta - about 43
inches on a 270-degree part in the reported nest. Offset rebuilt parts
by that delta so their geometry stays put on the plate.

ajandClaude Fable 5.1 e6c87df372 perf(engine): pool best-fit pair searches by part geometry across jobs
Every Auto Nest run, and every Default-engine run, recomputed each part's
best-fit pairs: job snapshots are fresh objects and BestFitCache keyed
its entries on Drawing reference, so the Irregular engine paid
PairCatalog.Build (about half of a 118-part solve) on every run of the
same drawings.

BestFitCache now keeps a process-wide, bounded (512 sets, least recently
used first) pool of unfiltered candidate sets keyed by the exact content
of a PartGeometrySnapshot (mode and every motion value, bit for bit;
PartGeometrySnapshot.ContentComparer) and the spacing. Every drawing
DrawingJobMapper.CreateDrawing reconstructs from a snapshot declares
that geometry (BestFitCache.ShareByGeometry), so the Irregular pairs and
blocks, the cutout lattice and the Fill/Default job paths all read and
fill the pool. Candidates depend on the program geometry and spacing
alone, so a pooled set is the set the search would produce: benchmark
layouts, costs and placements are unchanged on the synthetic nests (all
engines) and on the 67-drawing, 118-part job. Failed searches are not
pooled, Invalidate leaves the pool alone, Clear empties it, and a
drawing whose Program is replaced stops vouching for its geometry.

Same 118-part job solved twice in one benchmark process (--parallel 1):
the second solve now takes 13.1 s after a 33.0 s first; before, 35.6 s
after 41.8 s.

ajandClaude Opus 5.5 13ab8e02f8 fix(cutting): plan with staged scrap cut-offs within budget
Staged cut-offs were appended after every part, so a kept order (the
"Keep the current part order" option, or the fallback after a free
search runs out of budget) always conflicted with any cut-off crossing
a part. PlateSequencing.PlaceCutOffs moves each new cut-off to just
before the first part it crosses, separators last, without moving
anything else; the panel applies it after staging.

The free search also learned "cut the cut-off first" only after a full
stall, re-planning the many-holed parts before it. A cut-off is a fixed
program that never gets harder to cut earlier, so a crossing approach
into a non-separating cut-off now teaches that rule at once. On the
reported 35-part plate this drops the plan from 23,930 expansions (over
the 20,000 budget) to 15,605.

ajandClaude Opus 5.5 ee8be3d79e fix(cutoffs): accept absolute arc roundoff in automatic cut-off planning
Rotated imported arcs whose start and end radii differ by ~5e-11 are
converted without refitting their centre, so their rebuilt start point
lands just outside the cached part bounds. The allowance scaled with
coordinate magnitude (4096 steps, ~2.9e-11 here) and rejected them,
which stopped Plan Cutting's "Add scrap cut-offs" with "Converted
material extends outside cached part bounds". Use the existing 1e-10
cap as an absolute allowance; larger mismatches still block planning.

ajandClaude Opus 5.5 fb505ef0ff fix(cutting): plan outlines with a seam gap before an arc, and memoize lead checks
A converted outline whose seam closes within the admitted 1e-6 gap could
only be entered at its seam: entered anywhere else, the arc after the
seam started off its own circle and every emission was refused as an
inconsistent radius. The search then spent its whole budget on that
part and the plate never planned. Emission now bridges the gap with a
straight move and cuts the arc as drawn; the verifier already admits
that slack. An entry on the seam vertex is left as before.

Each prefix of a part re-checked its earlier contours' leads against
every other part's material. One search now remembers each verdict by
the lead curve's exact bits and the material's reference, charging the
same native query budget; replay never uses it. On the reported plate
the memo alone gives a byte-identical result in 57 s instead of 12 min 47 s;
with the seam fix the plate plans Ready in about 17 s.

ajandClaude Fable 5.1 d317a90f1e perf(engine): cut Auto Nest time on many-part jobs
A 67-drawing, 118-part job took about six minutes through the desktop
Auto Nest path and was cancelled before any layout appeared. Almost all
of it was the cutout pre-pass, the rest the Irregular engine.

Cutout pre-pass (317 s -> 8 s on that job, same bundles and poses):
- The lattice and NFP searches prepare the frame's and the occupants'
  validation outlines once per search (NestLayoutCheck.Prepare) instead
  of re-outlining and re-triangulating the frame at every candidate, and
  test candidates against the small occupants before the frame. Answers
  match the pairwise check exactly, including its leftmost-inflated rule.
- A hole's proposal is replayed for the same frame, hole and offered
  inserts: automatic-rotation inserts ask the same question at every
  frame angle.

Irregular engine (40 s -> 15 s, benchmark 42 s -> 19 s, same layouts):
- Concave no-fit polygons are built as the union of pairwise convex sums
  of each footprint's convex pieces (ear clipping plus Hertel-Mehlhorn
  merging on the Clipper lattice) instead of n*m edge-pair quads; a
  footprint that cannot be decomposed keeps the old sweep.
- Pair and block catalogs share one private drawing per part geometry,
  owned by the engine instance, so each part's best-fit search runs once
  per instance and across a pipeline's trial and ordinary solves.

ajandClaude Opus 5.5 d1aa056b9b fix(ui): keep the cut simulator smooth while panning and zooming
The overlay re-stroked the whole finished trail on every paint: about
275 ms at zoom-to-fit on a 392-part plate and over 11 s zoomed in, where
dashed rapids spanned millions of on-screen dashes.

The finished trail is now cached in a bitmap at the current scale, so a
pan or playback frame blits it and draws only the moves since. A wheel
zoom stretches the cached image until the wheel has been still for
150 ms, then redraws it sharp. When the trail would be too large an
image, each paint draws only the moves on screen and clips straight
rapids to the view. Arcs are added as GDI+ arcs instead of 5-degree
polylines.

ajandClaude Opus 5.5 d3cb23f117 fix: time display-layer cuts, add hole feed and etch skipping
The cut simulation treated Display-layer contour moves (what cutting
strategies emit) as head-up travel, so plates with assigned lead-ins were
timed as rapids. They now cut, matching the verifier and posts, and
suppressed moves are left out.

Cut time now follows the CI Fiber post: closed clockwise contours and
cut-offs take an outside feed, other contours a hole feed, and etch-only
contours can be skipped like its SkipScribe default. The settings are
shared by Calculate Cut Time and the simulator, and plate/nest times now
always come from the simulation.

ajandClaude Opus 5.5 dd2c00aed4 perf(engine): replay cutout pre-pass clearance checks and trim hole subtraction
Profiling the cutout pre-pass on real round-part jobs put ~97% of its time in
the frame-wall NestLayoutCheck.Clears inside CutoutCirclePacker.Fill. Ear-clipped
round frames make every perimeter/insert triangle pair overlap, so a clear pair
runs hole subtraction for every pair. The same question repeats for every frame
angle and repeated frame instance, because Automatic inserts get identical
frame-local poses.

- CutoutMemo, one per Prepare, replays geometry reads, circle items and Clears
  answers. Keys hold geometry by reference, pose bit patterns, argument order
  and spacing. It is threaded through CutoutCirclePacker.Fill and the router's
  round-only path.
- TriangulatedRegion.SubtractAllHoles measures each piece's bounds once, skips
  holes and hole triangles that no piece reaches, and ping-pongs the remainder
  between scratch buffers instead of copying it into pooled ones. Clip
  arithmetic and order are unchanged.

Bundles are byte-identical on 14 real and 10 synthetic ring jobs. Pre-pass time
over the real set drops from 99.6 s to 10.1 s (N0414-02 35.8 s -> 0.6 s).

- The cutout router uses the circle packer alone for a round hole whose
  inserts are all round. Lattice and NFP never placed more there, and when
  demand exceeded what fit they spent 20+ minutes on one job.
- The cutout pre-pass skips a hole whose area is smaller than an insert's
  outline, so bolt holes no longer run the searches.
- Circles re-packs its last sheet, and its last two sheets together, onto
  each single stock and keeps the result when the whole job gets cheaper.

On 14 real round-part jobs costs are unchanged and pipeline time drops from
262 s to 144 s for Circles and 355 s to 245 s for Default.

ajandClaude Opus 5.5 9f2e3d5291 feat(engine): compare clamp-hit dropping with filling past the clamp strip
Dropping the parts that land on a clamp suits small parts, which fill the
gaps between clamps. Large parts often do better if the fill area stops
short of the clamps. The rows still fit, and no part is lost on a clamp.

When every clamp in the fill area lies on one edge, interactive Fill now
also fills the area with that edge moved just past the clamp keep-outs,
as a larger edge spacing would. It keeps whichever layout the strategy's
comparer ranks better, and a tie keeps the dropped-parts layout. Clamps
on more than one edge skip the comparison. The second fill reuses the
cached best-fit pairs. While it runs, a preview counts as the new best
only when it beats the first layout, so the preview never gets worse.

ajandClaude Opus 5.5 05aac952ba feat(engine): fill clamped plates ignoring clamps, then drop clamp hits
Interactive Fill on a plate with clamps used to split the plate into
clamp-free rectangles and fill each one separately. It showed no progress,
so Accept did nothing until the end, and Stop discarded the result. Packing
around the clamps also tends to give a worse layout than losing the few
parts that land on them.

FillItem and FillGroup now fill the area as if there were no clamps. They
then drop each part that enters a clamp keep-out or sits too close to an
existing part, using the same check as before. For a multi-part group, the
whole copy is dropped when any member fails. Progress previews are filtered
by the same check, so a layout accepted early is clamp-clear. A quantity
request that loses copies asks for that many more, up to two more times.
Pack and whole-plate Nest still pack only into the clamp-free areas.

ajandClaude Opus 5.5 859d10b31d feat(engine): offer a box layout before best-fit pairs in Fill
Interactive Fill ran the best-fit pair phase first. The first pair
computation for a drawing can take about a minute, and until it finished
the progress dialog showed no layout, Accept stayed disabled and the
status text did not change.

The fill now packs the part boxes (RectBestFit) before the pair phase and
reports that layout, so Accept is available at once. The layout is only a
fallback: strategies still run in their usual order, and a completed fill
picks the same winner as before. While the pairs are computed, the detail
line reads "Computing best-fit pairs (may take a minute)...". Accept or
Stop now stops the wait. The computation keeps running in the background
and is cached for the next fill.

every part fills at least 0.8 of its enclosing circle and otherwise returns
everything unplaced at once. Default runs it as a third candidate.

Rectangles' sheet-by-sheet stock loop moves to NestingEngines/SheetByStock
(Rectangles output unchanged) and Default's candidate scoring and commit
forwarding become shared helpers. Circles also runs the whole job preferring
each offered stock and keeps the best result. Contract tests take shapes an
engine can override.

Synthetic round jobs, salvage-credited: Circles wins or ties all six with
valid layouts; Default cost falls about 4% versus Irregular alone.

ajandClaude Opus 5.5 a430da89d0 feat(engine): nest round frames inside larger round frames
The cutout prepass now bundles frames smallest first, so a larger frame's
round cutout can take a ring part or an earlier bundle as one insert through
the circle packer: a flange holds a washer that holds a smaller washer that
holds a slug. Chains stop at four parts deep. Lattice and NFP proposals never
take these inserts, since they could seat a part in a ring's bore.

Expansion and released demand recurse, so placed order cuts innermost first
at every level and an unplaced outer frame returns its whole chain to demand.

Add CutoutCirclePacker, a circle-in-circle proposal for the cutout
router. When a cutout is one circle and every insert fills at least 0.8
of its enclosing circle, it packs the inserts largest first at centers
tangent to the wall or placed discs, trying a center-out pass (a single
insert sits concentric) and a wall-first pass (optimal counts for up to
nine equal discs). Every pose passes NestLayoutCheck.

The router runs it first and skips the lattice and NFP searches when it
places all demand; otherwise the higher count wins and existing
proposals keep ties. On synthetic disc jobs the prepass drops from
minutes to seconds and places as many or more inserts.

ajandClaude Opus 5.5 2174416dcc feat(engine): model any part as a circle for circle packing
Item.Create builds the circle packer's view of a part: the minimum
enclosing circle of its outward-flattened perimeter (padded by the
layout check's flattening allowance), its fill ratio, the offset back
to the part origin, and the largest disc clear of material inside its
cutouts. Gears and sprockets pack by their tip circle around their
bore; the fill ratio lets a future engine decide which jobs to bid on
instead of a yes/no round test.

Adds MinimumEnclosingCircle (Welzl, repeatable order) to Core geometry.

ajandClaude Opus 5.5 6e2e27d6fc fix(engine): stop staggered circle fills overlapping
Staggered stripes were spaced only so adjacent stripes touched
diagonally. When the in-stripe pitch stretched past sqrt(3)*D, stripes
two apart, which sit directly over each other, came closer than a
diameter. Clamp the stripe spacing to at least a radius in both fills.

FillEndOdd also divided by zero when a single circle fit per stripe;
it now stacks those stripes a diameter apart. FillEndEven now clones
the template item, so placed circles keep its radius instead of zero.

ajandClaude Opus 5.5 d87302a189 feat(cad): exclude entities and set cut/etch/display-only roles
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.

ajandClaude Opus 5.5 27a03b9caf feat(engine): add FlatBar nesting engine for flat bar stock
Reads each stock as a bar and cuts parts in one row along its length, packing
part lengths with a port of the CutList saw cut-list packer (first-fit
decreasing with swap optimization, exhaustive search for small jobs) plus a
best-fill subset-sum candidate. Each part is packed at its length less its
measured self-nesting gain, and a slide-left compaction pass nests shaped ends
(turning alternate mitred parts) and refills the freed length. Every slid pose
is confirmed with NestLayoutCheck.Clears.

On five synthetic flat-bar jobs every layout is valid and complete; total cost
33696 vs Rectangles 36816 and Default 34080.

ajandClaude Opus 5.5 0186ccfbff feat(nest): keep parts out of tabbed cutouts
A tabbed cutout's slug stays attached while the sheet is cut, but nesting
saw a closed hole and could place parts inside it. Nesting and layout paths
now read material through NestingMaterial.ForNesting, which drops closed
contours with tab spans so the slug counts as part. That covers part
outlines and collision lines, the cutout router, fill expansion, best-fit,
NestLayoutCheck and the GPU bitmaps. Area, overlap diagnostics and cutting
keep the hole, and programs without tabs read exactly as before.

ajandClaude Opus 5.5 ba39c3dc55 feat(cad): add tabbed cutouts with draggable tabs
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.

ajandClaude Opus 5.5 6cdda38d35 fix(verify): pass tabbed cutouts that provably retain their slug
A cutout cut in several pieces around tabs, as PEP programs often are, made
pre-post review report every piece's lead-out and the part's open fragments
as incomplete. Review now proves such open cuts release nothing: within the
part they touch other cuts only at their own ends and form no loop (each
closed contour with its leads counting as one point), and leads at open ends
stay out of the gap beyond them. Anything else stays incomplete. Plan Cutting
keeps refusing to certify its own tabs followed by a lead-out.

ajandClaude Opus 5.5 3672697cb2 fix(ui): fill tabbed cutouts as one hole
A cutout cut in pieces around tabs is a set of open cut figures. Filling the
cut outline closed each piece with a chord, drawing a slanted bridge across
the hole. The fill path now rejoins open figures across their tab gaps, and
parts with open cuts use it for drawing, hit-testing and the lead-in overlay.

ajandClaude Opus 5.5 4176e9d89a perf(ui): throttle status-bar location and follow the mouse by default
Mouse-follow mode set the auto-sized location label on every MouseMove,
relaying out the whole status strip and slowing the UI. Updates now run
at most every 100 ms with a trailing update so the label settles on the
final point. Mouse-follow is now the default; clicking the label still
toggles click-only mode.

ajandClaude Opus 5.5 766584633e refactor(ui): redesign Edit Drawing dialog
Rebuild the dialog as a two-column layout: a larger preview with a
color swatch, a Change Color button and read-only size, area and
source-file details on the left; Drawing (name, customer) and Nesting
(quantity, priority, cut first) groups on the right.

Quantity shows how many parts are already nested and how many remain,
priority explains that lower numbers nest first, and cut first gets a
short description. The form now uses Segoe UI with font auto-scaling,
re-renders the preview when its size changes, selects the name on
open, and is titled "Drawing Properties - <name>".

ajandClaude Opus 5.5 8f73704bef feat(server): migrate v4 drawing library data to schema v5
The v4 upgrade now keeps existing library data: each distinct package
blob is stored once by hash, every revision and current row is copied
with default nesting settings, and the v4 drawing tables are dropped,
all in the migration transaction. Pre-v4 databases get the v5 tables
directly.
