Clarify engine return type ownership, cancellation propagation into
parallel loops, quantity decrement sequencing, conditional phase
behavior, plate navigation lockout, and MDI child close handling.

- Drop Circle.ToArcFrom (zero-sweep problem), keep Circle in shape
and handle in ConvertShapeToMoves with full-circle ArcMove
- Use point-distance tolerance for Arc.SplitAt instead of angle
comparison to avoid wrap-around issues at 0/2pi
- Simplify SplitAt return types to non-nullable tuple
- Add ArgumentException guard in ReindexAt
- Add throw for unexpected entity types in ConvertShapeToMoves
- Document absolute coordinate convention and shared references
- Clarify variable names for both replacement sites
The strategy output (lead-ins, start points, contour ordering) must be
saved in the nest file, so Apply() runs when parts are placed — not
during post-processing.

- Rename Angle properties to ApproachAngle (avoid shadowing Math.Angle)
- Arc rotation from contour winding, not hardcoded CW
- Add winding parameter to LeadIn/LeadOut Generate methods
- Add exit point derivation from Plate quadrant
- Add contour re-indexing section (split/reorder at closest point)
- Add ContourType.cs and AssignmentParameters.cs to file structure
- Clarify normal direction convention
- Note SequenceMethod value 6 intentionally skipped (PEP numbering)

Lead-in, lead-out, and tab class hierarchy for CNC cutting
approach/exit geometry, using ShapeProfile + ClosestPointTo
for contour sequencing.

Replace three separate XML metadata files (info, drawing-info,
plate-info) and per-plate G-code placement files with a single
nest.json inside the ZIP archive. Programs remain as G-code text
under a programs/ folder.
This eliminates ~400 lines of hand-written XML read/write code
and fragile ID-based dictionary linking. Now uses System.Text.Json
with DTO records for clean serialization. Also adds Priority and
Constraints fields to drawing serialization (previously omitted).

After the main fill, detect if the last column/row is an "oddball"
with fewer parts than the main grid. If so, remove those parts and
re-fill the remainder strip independently using all strategies
(linear, rect best-fit, pairs). Improves 30→32 parts on the test
case (96x48 plate with 30x7.5 interlocking parts).

Documents both issues found (narrow pair selection, incomplete pattern tiling)
and their fixes with before/after results.

The engine gets 7 parts where manual nesting gets 9, all at the same
rotation. The fix is trying more rotations across all fill strategies.

MCP fill_remnants gets 7 parts vs UI Ctrl+F gets 9 in the same strip.
Documents root cause analysis and files to investigate.

Replace bounding-box push with analytical polygon directional-distance
so parts nestle together based on actual cut geometry.
