An acceptance rule may list sheet grades first, so at plate thickness its
best match can be rank 3 (A36 for HR). Auto Nest marked every row above
rank 1 a substitute; it now ranks rows against the best rule rank ML
matched at the nest's thickness, as ML labels them, so A36 is preferred
and only A572 is a substitute.

MaterialLedger's Release lets a hold go, so a Released hold no longer keeps
a sheet for the nest; only Proposed, Approved and AwaitingCloseout holds,
the statuses ML counts against free stock, are open. The Has Been Cut
note's link pointed at /Nests/{id}, which ML does not serve; its nest page
is /Nests/Details/{id}.

GET /api/nests/{id}/sheets returns sizes as stored, in the nest's units,
but did not say which. MaterialLedger compares them with inches, so a
millimeter nest's sheets never matched inventory. The response now carries
units (inches or millimeters), read the way NestReader reads them: absent
or unknown values are inches.

MaterialLedger's /api/stock/opennest now resolves an OpenNest material
and grade through ranked acceptance rules. The client reads the new
spec rank, family, grade and finish and the item rank; an older ledger
that sends none of them deserializes as rank 1 with no label.
LedgerStockMapper groups drops only by identical size and spec, keeps
the ledger's order in rows and in each row's ItemCodes, and orders rows
by rank. Auto Nest's Source column shows the row's grade and finish
("A1011 P&O"); substitutes (rank above 1) read "A1011 P&O for HR" in
amber, name the substitution in their tooltip and still load ticked.
The engine still sees no rank.

Server nests in Database mode get a read-only status bar label comparing their
open MaterialLedger holds with the sheets they cut, e.g. "Ledger: 2 of 4 held,
2 short". Nothing writes to the ledger and nothing waits on it.
- MaterialLedgerClient.GetHoldsAsync reads GET /api/stock/holds?openNestNestId=
with the closed LedgerHoldsResult set; unknown status strings are kept. The
request plumbing is shared with GetStockAsync.
- LedgerHoldSummary (OpenNest.Data) counts Proposed/Approved/Released/
AwaitingCloseout holds against the plate quantities, skipping the trailing
empty plate as /sheets does.
- NestHoldStatus refreshes on server open, after save, after storage or
Options changes and on label click; it never polls. The tooltip lists holds
in nest units. File-mode, unsaved and ledger-less nests show nothing.
- Setting Has Been Cut in Nest Info with holds still open shows a non-modal
note linking to {ledgerUrl}/Nests/{id}. Posting is not gated.

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.

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.

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.

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.

With Nest after release ticked, Make Nests now minimizes the Drawing
Sets window and nests each group's built nest in its own main-window
tab, before it is saved, with Auto Nest's progress window and live plan
strip, one nest at a time in plan order. Stop there (or switching tabs)
stops the whole release, as the panel's Stop does; the layout is kept
by the same rules as the headless renest, without the Keep review.
After upload each tab is bound to its saved record instead of a second
tab opening; a tab whose nest was not saved is closed. The main window
stays in front, and the Drawing Sets window flashes its taskbar button
when a group failed or was refused or the release was not recorded.
NestRenest splits into CreateRequest and Keep so the solve runs off the
UI thread and the commit on it; AutoNestCommand's solve-with-progress
step is shared rather than copied.

The modal release dialog is replaced by ReleasePanel, docked beside the
Library and Sets tabs and shared by both. A double-click or Enter adds a
set at one kit or a library drawing on its own at the entered quantity;
adding one already listed adds to its quantity. Lines are edited in
place with a remove button, and the nests it will make preview live.
Each group now merges into a matching Draft nest by default: the only
one, or the most recently saved of several (chosen in the row); a draft
open in a tab blocks Make Nests instead of making a parallel nest.
Nest after release is remembered per user. Edit Set and Edit Drawing
move to their buttons and right-click menus.
The Drawing Sets window is now an unowned top-level window with its own
taskbar entry and remembered bounds, closed with the main window; a
release not yet made survives closing it, and Make Nests brings the
main window forward. ReleaseSetForm remains as a thin dialog host for
releasing from Nest > Add from Drawing Library.

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.

Without salvage credit (desktop Auto Nest on a single plate size) every
complete one-sheet layout costs the same, so engines kept whichever layout
came first. N26-23S nested 27.86" long when turning two parts fits it in
21.3".
NestJobCost.CompactnessOffcut measures the largest full-width/full-length
edge offcut as salvage does, whatever the salvage rate. Default and Circles
(CandidateScore), Rectangles and Circles sheet choice (SheetByStock) and
Irregular sheet and plan ranking use it only after cost, so no cost changes.
Sheet-level keys round to 1e-6 to keep ties platform-independent.
Rectangles layout digests are re-captured: each changed fixture keeps its
sheets, parts and cost and leaves a larger offcut.

The benchmark built stock from spacing and quadrant only, so engines were
scored on clamp-free sheets and baselines were never checked against the
clamps they were made with. Stock now comes from NestStockBuilder.FromTemplate,
as in desktop Auto Nest: the source plate's rail is resolved for every
candidate size (explicit zones are offered unchanged), and baseline plates
keep their rail and removed clamps.

The drawing library browser becomes DrawingLibraryView, a control. The Drawing
Sets window hosts it as its Library tab beside Sets and Releases, and File >
Drawing Library opens the window on it. A library drawing's Releases item
switches to the Releases tab filtered to it. Nest > Add from Drawing Library

Drawing Sets > More > Import BOM reads a BOM and its drawing folder,
matches each drawing to the library by its D4 identity and geometry
(reuse, new revision, or new drawing) and opens the set editor with a
new set prefilled with the BOM quantities. Reading only queries the
library; Create Set lists the uploads and revisions and asks before
storing them, and the set is stored only by the editor's Save.
Parts with no material or thickness still import and are flagged for
Edit Drawing. DrawingPackage.GeometryKey compares geometry independent
of the fresh entity ids each DXF import assigns. In Database mode File >
Import BOM opens this flow instead of creating nests directly; File mode
is unchanged.

The set browser's six equal buttons become New Set..., Edit..., More and a

menu that the More button drops down and that is also the set list's
right-click menu (menu key and Shift+F10 open it; right-click selects the

The member grid shows one Material column (name, grade, thickness and
units, such as "Steel A36 0.25 in"), Qty and Note; Cut type appears only
when the set mixes cut types. Move Up/Down are gone: member order only
breaks ties (materials are grouped and sorted on release, nests list
drawings by name), and the stored order is kept as it was. The dialog
opens at 1040 px instead of 1264, with the library pane unchanged and
still resizable.

The drawing sets window now has two tabs. Releases hosts the release list
(paging, nests, Undo Release, New Release) as a SetReleasesView control that
replaces SetReleasesForm. File > Releases stays as a shortcut that opens the
window on that tab. A set's Releases (Sets tab) and a library drawing's
Releases (Drawing Library) open the tab filtered to it, with the filter shown
above the list and Clear Filter to list every release. Releases re-reads its
page whenever the tab is shown again, so a release made on Sets appears.
The set editor gets History... for a saved set; the Sets tab keeps its
History button until the browser's buttons are rearranged.

The release dialog now reads as a sentence ("Release set 'X' ×N") and
previews what Make Nests will do ("Creates 2 nests: ..."), with refused
materials counted and Fix Drawings reachable without selecting them.
An Options toggle holds the Release ticks, the Nest column and Include
archived drawings; collapsed, an option stays shown while it differs
from its default, and the Nest column shows whenever a Draft nest could
be merged into. Defaults, release, undo and retry are unchanged. The
Status column wraps so refusals are not cut off, and the retry status
reads "... Try Again records it; the nests are not made again."

Builds on the library's Edit Drawing (details as a new revision):
- warns before saving details that would duplicate another active library
drawing (D4), naming them; a failed lookup also asks;
- File > Drawing Library, a nest-less mode of the library browser that lists
every active drawing and edits on double-click;
- the set editor's member grid (double-click, right-click, button);
- the release dialog: Fix Drawings on a group refused for missing material or
thickness or duplicate names, so those refusals are no longer a dead end.

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.

Edit Settings becomes Edit Drawing: name, customer, material, grade,
thickness and cut type are editable beside the nesting settings and
notes. Units stay read-only. The save is a metadata revision with the
same package, so nests keep the revision they hold, and the release
refusal for drawings without material or thickness now has a fix.
v0.2.0 adds the Machines page (nest machine, default machine, per-machine
support grid, machine lead-ins) and the machines, nest-machine and
support-grid topic IDs. desktop-help.md now points at the help repo's
version rules so the next release is numbered the same way.

The assigned machine now drives the support grid, lead-ins and cut-offs, so
it should be visible without opening a menu. The status bar shows
"Machine: <name>" beside the material; left- or right-clicking it lists the
machines (the same list as Nest > Machine) above the label.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Machine configurations already held a lead-in, lead-out, kerf and cut-off per
material thickness, but nothing read them: Plan Cutting and Place Lead-in
started from whatever was last applied (often another machine's or another
thickness's leads), and cut-offs used fixed view defaults. Now that nests carry
a machine, those values can be the starting point.
- MachineCuttingDefaults maps a machine's thickness settings for the nest's
material/grade/thickness onto CuttingParameters and CutOffSettings,
converting units. Clean Hole stays on holes; Line + Line is not mapped
because the configuration lacks the second segment.
- Plates without their own parameters start from the last-applied ones with
the machine's leads and kerf laid over them; plates with parameters keep them.
- The plate view's cut-off clearance, overtravel, minimum segment and direction
follow the machine on open, on Nest > Machine and after Nest > Edit.

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.

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.

No verified server image has been published yet, so the shop server runs
development builds. Building on the host meant cloning there and hand-editing
compose; the script builds with the local Docker engine, ships the image,

GET /api/nests/{id}/sheets reads the stored archive's nest.json and returns

A part with about 1,700 holes (P241017-01) never planned: material
capture paired every boundary with every other one and lead checks
scanned every boundary per lead, so both hit the 1M native query limit
and the plate fell back to an unverified best-effort plan.
- Material capture sweeps boundary extents along X and queries only
pairs the lead checks' per-pair clearance cannot skip, in the full
scan's order.
- Material with 64+ boundaries keeps a grid of boundary extents. Lead
checks, contour-joint matching and replay's contour accounting query
only nearby boundaries; ray parity reads only holes on the point's row.
- Only native queries that run are charged to the budget; skipped far
material no longer costs its full boundary count.
- The search looks up chosen holes and route ranks instead of scanning.
With that the plate plans Ready, but in 189 s: every step re-emitted
and re-checked all holes already cut. On parts with 64+ contours a
middle hole step now checks only the contour it adds, continuing the
completed-contour state its prefix left (ReleasedContourState.Continue).
It falls back to the full prefix whenever it cannot continue exactly,
and the last contour still checks the whole part from before it.
Isolated contour emission clones only the chosen contour.
P241017-01 now plans Ready in 5.4 s with an identical route, expansions
and rapid travel. Core and engine suites pass; the problem-nest corpus
matches the unchanged commit's outcomes and expansions.

The release dialog's Add a set box was a pure type-ahead: it queried the
server only after typing paused, so opening it, or clicking its arrow with
nothing typed, showed an empty list. From Drawing Sets > Release that was
easy to miss, but New Release starts with nothing listed, and an empty
dropdown there reads as a missing server connection. The dialog now reads
the first active sets by name when it is shown, and again when the list is
opened while still empty, without dropping the list open on its own; typing
narrows it as before.

Releases could only be reached through one set or one library drawing, so
seeing what the shop released lately meant knowing which set to open first.
File > Releases shows every release on the server, newest first, naming what
each one had ("Kit A ×2, Kit B; Bracket ×4") in place of the per-set
revision and kits, with the same nest list and Undo Release. New Release
opens the release dialog empty, so a release can start from the list rather
than from a set; the plan builder now accepts no lines as an empty plan,
and the dialog's Release button stays disabled until a group is listed.
The list re-reads from the newest page once the dialog records a release.

After adding library drawings the operator had to close the dialog to see what
the nest now needed, and fixing a quantity meant leaving it for Edit Drawing
one part at a time. The new In This Nest tab lists the nest's drawings (cutoffs
excluded) with their library revision and required, nested and remaining
quantities, refreshes after each add, and edits Required in place.
An edit applies to the nest immediately, like an add, and the nest window
refreshes its drawing list when the dialog closes. Out-of-range values are
refused both when the cell is validated and when they are applied, because
DataGridView only validates on leaving the cell and EndEdit commits without it.

The Release dialog lists sets and drawings in one grid (with a type
column; Kits / Qty is a set's kits or a drawing's quantity, up to
100,000). Add Drawings... browses the library as the set editor's pane
does and stays open for several adds; listed drawings are greyed and
skipped, archived ones refused. The Drawings tab gains Release... (when
opened from a nest) to start a release from one drawing, and
Releases... so a release of drawings alone can still be found and
undone, since it belongs to no set's history.
docs/nest-storage.md describes the desktop flow, the `drawings` wire
field, null item setId, the drawingId query/probe and schema v11.

Plates with staged automatic scrap cut-offs could not be planned: P260810-01
plate 1 ran out of budget even at 10x effort, while the same plate plans
Ready in 3.6k expansions without the lines. A cut-off was one fixed program
cut whole before every part its line passes through, which dragged the tour
to the middle of the sheet and left the head at the far edge of the line;
and cutting every line first (the rejected alternative) weakens the sheet
and breaks the containment operators rely on when they fast-forward a
changed program.
A cut-off stays one definition, but Plate.RegenerateCutOffs now makes one
part per trimmed segment, each with its own place in the cut sequence.
CutOffSegments gives each segment the span of the nominal line it stands
for (end of the segment before it to start of the one after), and the
dependency rules of the planner and Part Sequencing use that span, so a
segment precedes only the parts beside it. The free-order search plans the
parts as if the segments were not there, so adding lines no longer changes
a plate's route, then CutOffInsertion slides each segment into the latest
gap before its first part where the rapid into its pierce and the rapid
from its end cross nothing cut before; only when one fits nowhere is the
plate searched with the segments among the parts. The search looks through
segments wherever they sit (entries face the next part, hole routes rank
from the pre-segment position, rapids are still checked from the segment's
end), so an applied plan replanned with the order kept replays Ready.
Segments saved out of consecutive order are recorded per segment in the
.nest file (`segments`); older readers load them consecutively.
P260810-01 plate 1 now plans Ready in 3639 expansions with every check
passing; rapid travel 1836 against 1547 without the lines. Plates without
cut-offs keep their PlanningCharacterizationTests digests, and the
problem-nest corpus has no plate below its baseline.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Cut planning should rank routes safest first, then fastest, but a plate whose
strict search hit its expansion budget was simply refused ("no plan found
within the search limit"), even when a route with a few reviewable rapid
crossings existed. Scrap cut-offs make this common: their trimmed segments
can wall off a column of parts, and rapids are straight.
When both the free-order and current-order searches stop at the limit, the
batch now walks a greedy safest route from each input, replays it with fresh
checks, and keeps the one with fewer violations (material first, then rapid
crossings, then the rest), then less rapid travel. A route that passes every
check is an ordinary Ready plan; otherwise it is an unverified BestEffort
that lists every violation and applies only with explicit acceptance. Routes
with any motion into material are never offered, so the strict refusal and
its lead-in advice stand.

Releasing a set creates new nests or merges into draft ones, so tying the
set browser to the Drawing Library dialog (which needs an open nest) put it
behind a document it never uses. File > Drawing Sets... (Database mode)
now opens a standalone window with the set browser and Release, opening
released nests in their own tabs. The library dialog loses its Sets tab
but keeps Used in Sets and Add to Set on a drawing's menu.

The library browser showed only a grid and a notes box, so picking the right
part meant reading names and guessing at the shape, and the add controls sat in
a crowded row with the pager. The Drawings tab now splits into the list (with
its pager underneath) and a details pane: a geometry preview, the drawing's
name, customer, material, thickness, cutting and revision, its notes, and the
quantity with a prominent Add to Nest button.
The preview downloads the listed revision's package after the selection settles
for 150 ms, shares a request already loading that revision, and caches drawings
per revision for the dialog's lifetime. It colors the drawing from the record's
settings without advancing the nest's part palette. It is best-effort: any
failure shows "Preview unavailable" and the dialog keeps working, and the UI
update is marshalled explicitly because an STA thread without a WinForms
synchronization context resumes the await on the thread pool.

Steel is "Carbon Steel" in OpenNest, matching the Cincinnati post's cut
libraries. The CI Fiber material-code table only listed "Mild Steel", so a
Carbon Steel nest reached MSN only by falling through to the default code.
List "Carbon Steel" explicitly in the shipped JSON and the built-in
default, and keep "Mild Steel" for nests that already use it.
Tests check both names against the shipped config and the built-in
default; the Carbon Steel rows failed before this change. Posted output
is unchanged, since the default code was already MSN.
With every part drawn the same, it was hard to see which parts the drawn
lines had not reached yet. Parts no line reaches are now drawn muted, and
update live while dragging. Clicking a part adds it as a one-point line, so
a stray part can be picked without drawing a line to it.

Every part was claimed by its nearest line even when the line never reached
it, so a part beyond a line's start projected to distance 0 along it and was
cut near the front. Parts now belong only to lines crossing their bounding
box; uncrossed parts follow all the others, ordered by their nearest line.

Fill only tried 0 and 90 degrees for parts classified as rectangles, so a long
part filling a 60 x 120 plate four high at 90 degrees left a 55 x 59 strip empty
although two more fit tilted about 33 degrees (a reported nest: 4 placed, 6 fit).
The second tilted part only fits with its corner tucked beside the grid, in the
strip the grid's slack leaves, so a plain rectangular remnant fill finds one.
TiltedRemnant runs after the other strategies. It moves the best layout flush to
one end so leftover room becomes one remnant, and to either end of the other axis
so its slack forms one strip; then tiles the part at the most upright angles that
fit the remnant's height and keeps only copies at least the part spacing from the
layout. It is skipped when the part fits the remnant upright, for circles, for an
explicit rotation range and once the requested quantity is placed.
Fill benchmark (--parallel 1): the synthetic set is unchanged (all valid, same
cost and plates). The reported part needs 1 sheet instead of 2 for 6 parts and
2 instead of 3 for 12.

Nests, drawings and releases store material and grade as free text, so
there was no canonical list for clients to suggest from or to fix
spelling against. Schema v10 adds materials and material_grades keyed by
SharedListNames.Key, with GET/POST /api/materials. Adding is idempotent
by key and keeps the first spelling.
The tables start empty: the materials already stored did not import
cleanly, so the list is filled through the API instead. Existing
free-text columns are unchanged.

A release now ends in nests ready to cut rather than empty drafts, and a
merge no longer leaves the draft it cleared waiting for someone to run Auto
Nest. "Nest after release" (on by default) runs Auto Nest headless on every
released group, new or merged, before anything is uploaded.
NestRenest removes every plate and nests each drawing's required quantity
onto sheets from the nest's plate defaults and plate-size options. It keeps
a layout only when it is valid and keepable, so an invalid result never
reaches the server; the nest is saved without sheets and the operator is
told to run Auto Nest. Unplaced copies stay as remaining quantity, and the
status column lists sheets, utilization and what did not fit. A new Nesting
progress stage reports each group, and cancelling while nesting saves
nothing.

The release dialog now lists the sets to release instead of one set with a
multiplier. More are added by typing a name (the matching active sets fill
the list as you type) and each set has its own kit count. Its groups span
all the sets, and each group can make a new Draft nest or merge into a Draft
nest of the same material, grade and thickness, listed with its sheet count.
The status column says that a merge discards the draft's layout and that
Undo Release restores it.
A draft open in a tab of this desktop is refused, because nest tabs do not
track unsaved edits and the merge would leave them behind. The main window
tells the dialog which server nests are open.
The release history shows what each release did to each nest (created, or
merged from one revision to another, and what undo did) and gains Undo
Release. When nests changed after the release, it names them and offers to
undo the others, leaving those as they are.

The release plan now takes several sets, each with its own kit count. A
drawing listed by more than one set becomes one item with the quantities
summed and each set's share kept, so the release can record what every kit
put into every nest. FindDraftsAsync lists the Draft nests of a group's
material through the new nest query filters.
The session can merge a group into a chosen draft instead of making a new
nest. It downloads the draft at the revision it was chosen at, refuses it
unless it is still a Draft of the group's material, thickness, units and cut
type, adds the items, and removes every plate so the whole demand is nested
again. The save is guarded by that revision, so a draft someone saved
meanwhile fails its group instead of being overwritten. An optional renest
step, run before anything is uploaded, will back "Nest after release"; if it
throws, the nest is still released without a layout.
The release record now carries every set line, merged nests with their
revisions before and after, and each set's drawing quantities.
SetReleaseText.UndoRefusal words a refused undo for the release history.
