Breakoffs are now picked by their joining line, default to the smaller side as scrap
(flippable), and cut that line between tabs on a new Break layer instead of slots.
Plan Cutting and Assign Lead-ins enter each cut from the scrap with the nest's internal
lead-in, or pierce on the line without one; checks treat break cuts as intentional open
cuts that are not material.

Forming backgauge tabs drawn as open cuts came off the sheet loose and could not be
planned. A breakoff merges the scrap into the outline and cuts the shared edge as
closed slots between tabs, so it stays attached and every pierce lands in scrap.

Fix the focus-sensitive failure in HighlightedNestShowsItsPlatesAndDrawings_AndEnterOpensIt from GitHub run 39042902952. Explicitly focus the nest grid and assert it owns focus before sending Enter. Production keyboard handling and all existing open, cancel, and missing-archive assertions remain unchanged.
The cut planner disabled "Add scrap cut-offs" along with every other
control while a plan ran, including the very first auto-started plan.
It now stays enabled; toggling it mid-plan cancels the run in progress
and restarts planning with the new setting.

Since 5.2 a locked program's own rapid crossing is a fixed-lead warning on an
UNVERIFIED plate, so it no longer makes the panel's "Can't apply" case. The
blocked plate now holds overlapping parts, a hard block, and the test checks
the same navigation and no-partial-Apply behaviour.

Operators can now save a nest drawing to the shared drawing library. Right-
click a drawing in the drawing list > Save to Drawing Library... opens a
dialog with name, customer, material (post materials suggested), grade,
thickness, cut type and notes, prefilled by the save model; units follow the
nest.
Whenever the details change, the dialog looks up library drawings with the
same details and offers Save as: the next revision of the match (the default
for one match or the linked drawing), a choice among several, or a separate
drawing. Save stays disabled until the lookup for the current details has
finished, so a choice can never apply to details it was not made for. A 409
is shown and the choices are refreshed; a save that could not be confirmed
tells the operator that saving again checks it and never stores it twice.
On success only the drawing's library link changes, and the chosen cut type
is remembered per PC. There is no nest dirty flag to set, so the operator
saves the nest to keep the new link. The item is Database mode only and is
shown only where the drawing list's host handles it (not the best-fit viewer).

Operators can now pull shared library drawings into a nest. Nest > Add from
Drawing Library... and a Library button above the drawing list open a paged
browser (name, customer, material, grade, thickness, cut type, revision, saved)
with a notes preview and a quantity. It starts filtered to the nest's material,
grade and thickness, with Show all to lift that.
Add downloads the listed revision's immutable package, not the current one, so
a revision saved meanwhile can never be what lands in the nest. The insert is
planned first and every warning or refusal is shown before the nest changes;
the dialog is modal, so the nest cannot move between plan and apply. The dialog
stays open for further adds and the drawing list refreshes on close.
Both entries are Database mode only: the library lives on the nest server, so
in File mode they are disabled with a "Database mode only" tooltip.

The outcome line sat mid-panel in coloured text and was easy to miss. It
now leads the panel in a tinted, outlined banner, and the existing
lead-in/cut-off alert uses the same style so the panel has one alert
look. The part-order search turns the banner bright orange because it is
the slow phase the operator waits on.

The proposal preview skipped the cut-off overlay: it carries cut-off parts but no
cut-off definitions, so planner cut-offs looked like thin black part outlines
instead of the orange-red dashes used everywhere else. The preview now draws each
cut-off part's own cutting moves in that style.
The same paint guard hid the validation overlay over a preview, so issue markers
for unverified plans were set but never drawn. The overlay now draws on proposals
too, with the marker's part numbers mapped to the preview's proposed order so the
right parts stay highlighted.

Plan Cutting findings dropped the checker's geometry, so selecting one could only
zoom to part extents, and overlap-blocked plates (no preview) did nothing at all.
Findings now keep the check's world-coordinate witness (overlap regions, rapid,
contacts); selecting a row draws it with the Validate Nest overlay, on the proposal
or a blocked plate's live sheet. The witness is excluded from finding equality so
repeated search rejections still collapse to one finding.
The side panel's scrolling report was a wall of text operators skipped. It is now
a colored outcome line, one line for the shown plate, and one remedy or marker
hint above the issue grid, with secondary detail moved to tooltips.

The overlap crosshair sat on the pair's area centroid. For a split,
holed or concave overlap, that point can be off the red material:
between two patches, in a hole, or inside a curve.
PlateOverlapPair.Marker is a point inside the pair's largest island.
It is the island's pole of inaccessibility (PolyLabel), searched to a
tenth of the island's area/perimeter within a 4096-cell budget. If
that bounded search does not land inside (a long thin sliver), the
marker falls back to the midpoint of the widest interior run of a
horizontal scan line placed between vertex heights.
The overlay crosshair, marker hit testing, hover coordinates
("Marker:") and the cutting-inspection ring now use the marker.
Centroid stays the true area centroid. View > Overlap Check > Display
> Centroids is now labelled Markers.
Before the marker existed, its call sites used the centroid. Two
patches, a covered frame, a half annulus and a thin crescent then put
it off the material; now all four land on it. Disabling the scan-line
fallback fails its test. On the 389-plate corpus, markers add about
0.4 ms per overlapping pair; pair and area results are unchanged.
Expand now reads the plate on a worker while its Cancel window pumps
messages, so a still-running fill could commit parts into the plate the
search is enumerating (InvalidOperationException: collection modified).
Refuse the command while whole-job nesting, a NestProgressForm or a fill
on any view of the nest is active. The usual plate-action guard is not
reused: ActionSelect reports busy whenever parts are selected, which
Expand requires.
Expand Spacing ran its search on the UI thread, so a complex layout froze
the app for minutes with no way out. Run the search on a worker; when it
lasts past 0.3 s, show a small modal window with elapsed time and Cancel.
Cancel, Escape and the close box request cancellation through the
Expander token and the window stays open until the worker stops, so the
layout is never touched afterward. A cancelled run moves no part and
reports it in the status bar instead of the "select two parts" notice.
Validation inspection disabled the whole plate header, so the zoom buttons
and Ctrl+Plus/Ctrl+Minus stopped working even though wheel zoom and fit stay
available. Group the plate navigation buttons into their own container so the
inspection scope can lock them while leaving the viewport-only zoom controls
and shortcuts live.

Reserve nominal-line slots in the candidate lattice, compare rounded lengths in exact micro-units before pierce ties, and report real fixed-grid cut length. Per-line notices name local increases instead of negative savings. Failing-first regressions cover dense spacing, decimal ties and the legacy summary.
Windows CI proved the default single-plate fixture is not notice-free;
the details box now surfaces the SegmentedCut notice that the old text
wall buried. Assert the real content instead of a clean box.
The dialog buried its verdict in a scrollable text box that restated the
same numbers per plate behind a paragraph-length warning. Replace it
with:
- a bold colored status line stating exactly what Apply will do
(Ready / Blocked / No new cut-offs / Error with the reason);
- the occupied span, used span, separator X and retained tail as
compact caption+value cells with tooltips instead of four sentences;
- the warning paragraph reduced to one amber line with the full text
in its tooltip;
- a per-plate table (cut-offs, spans, tail, Ready/Blocked/No change)
for the All Plates command, replacing repeated text blocks;
- the details box now lists only issues and notices, prefixed by plate
number when planning a nest, instead of echoing every measurement.
Planning, preview, apply and rollback behavior is unchanged; tests and
the cutoffs document follow the new presentation.
Report, dialog and diagnostic text across post verification, cutoff
planning, alignment and cutting-plan review repeatedly told the user
what checks weren't (safety certifications, proof, guarantees) instead
of what to do. Reworded these to state the same caveats affirmatively
(inspect X, confirm Y, review Z) without changing the underlying
safety guidance, and updated the tests/docs that pinned the old wording.
Keep cut outlines dark and etch strokes bright green. Assign drawing fills by a golden-angle hue walk with varied saturation/lightness tiers, preserving legacy schemes and rendering-only behavior. Include palette, visibility, persistence, and contrast regressions.
The editor header and the Plan Cutting dialog counted the trailing empty
new-plate workspace PlateManager.EnsureSentinel maintains, so a one-plate
nest read 'Plate 1 of 2'. PlateDisplayNumbering now derives display-only
numbers that exclude only a trailing empty sentinel; interior empty plates
keep their slot and number, and navigation, storage indexes, exported
names and batch selection are untouched. The sentinel itself is labeled
'New plate (empty)' instead of being numbered beyond the shown total.
Fix DuplicateRows_CreateNestsButtonImportsOneDrawingWithCombinedQuantity timeout from Windows run 37526243901. Native trace on DesktopPC showed the sole OK button uses control ID 2, not IDOK 1. Preserve real dialog text and nest assertions; find the sole button and stop polling only after successful posting. All 392 WinForms and 49 FrontEnd tests pass in an interactive Windows session.
