Model the machine's support bed as a grid of contact points measured
from the plate origin, and check each part's center of gravity against
the convex hull of the grid points under its material. The bed is
extensible so straight and CAD-imported curved slats can follow.
- Core: SupportBed/SupportGrid, SupportMaterial and SupportAnalyzer
(margin with registration tolerance, best single tab point)
- Nest-wide support bed that every plate follows, saved in
plateDefaults.supportBed; machine defaults in support-grid.json
- CuttingParameters.SupportTabs: Plan Cutting tabs only unsupported
parts and limits their perimeter entries to points where the tab
steadies the part, falling back to any fitting entry
- Desktop: Nest > Support Grid..., View > Draw Support overlay and a
"Tab parts the support grid cannot hold level" tab option
- docs/support-tabs.md, nest file format and planner notes

Clamps could only sit on the origin-side edge and be edited as a list in
Nest > Clamps. Setting them up against a real sheet is easier by dragging
them where they are, so Plate > Edit Clamps adds an edit mode: drag a clamp
along its edge or onto another edge, click near an edge to add one, click a
clamp's locating dimension to type its distance from the origin, Delete to
remove. Dimensions measure to the clamp center or its near edge
(remembered per user). Edits replace the nest's rail so every sheet follows,
like the dialog.
Rail clamps now carry a ClampEdge (origin side, far side, origin end, far
end), positioned from the origin along that edge. Origin-side clamps keep
their ids and files; other edges persist in optional per-edge arrays in
.nest files and clamps.json, omitted when empty.

Add ClampRail: identical clamps (width along the edge, depth into the
sheet) at X centers measured from the plate origin on the origin-side
edge. It resolves onto any sheet size and quadrant without re-scaling:
clamps wholly beyond the sheet are skipped, one still reaching onto it
is clipped to it, and ids follow rail position (clamp-N) so a physical
clamp keeps its id on every sheet.
A plate can follow a rail (Plate.SetClampRail); its ClampZones are then
derived and re-resolved whenever Size or Quadrant changes, because the
clamps are fixed to the machine. Plates without a rail keep explicit
zones unchanged. Nest.PlateDefaults.ClampRail is the template new plates
follow, and Nest.SetClampRail applies a nest-wide rail to every plate
(an empty rail removes it).
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.
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.
Add PlateOptions and SalvageRate properties to the Nest class and
round-trip them through NestWriter/NestReader via a new PlateOptionDto.

Material and thickness are properties of the nest (all plates share the
same material/gauge), not individual plates. This moves them to the Nest
class, removes them from Plate and PlateSettings, and updates the UI so
EditNestInfoForm has a material field while EditPlateForm no longer shows
thickness. The nest file format gains top-level thickness/material fields
with backward-compatible reading from PlateDefaults for old files.
