Replace expensive ShrinkFiller re-fill loop with axis-aware edge-sorted
trim. Also replaces blind Take(N) in DefaultNestEngine.Fill.

Add drawing dropdown to switch between drawings without reopening the
form. Change color scheme to light backgrounds with blue/red part fills
and auto-detect text color. Fix swapped bounding box width/length. Run
best-fit computation on a background thread so the UI stays responsive
during long calculations, with cancellation on drawing switch.

Add third row (5x3 grid, 15 items/page), remove 50-result cap so all
candidates are pageable, start maximized, replace page label with
editable textbox for direct page entry, center nav controls, and
eliminate flicker on page change via DoubleBuffered + WM_SETREDRAW.

CloneAtOffset shares the Program instance for tiling performance,
but rotating a part on the plate mutated the shared Program, causing
all parts from the same tile template to rotate together.
Added ownsProgram flag with EnsureOwnedProgram() that clones the
Program before first mutation, preserving tiling performance while
making user rotations independent.

The documented entries (info.json, drawing-info.json, plate-info.json,
plate-NNN) were from the old v1 format. Updated to reflect the actual v2
structure: nest.json, programs/program-N, and bestfits/bestfit-N.

PairFiller now returns PairFillResult (Parts + BestFits) instead of
using a mutable BestFits property. Extracted EvaluateCandidates,
TryReduceWorkArea, and BuildTilingAngles for clarity. Simplified the
candidate loop by leveraging FillScore comparison semantics.
Removed FillRemainingStrip and all its helpers (FindPlacedEdge,
BuildRemainingStrip, BuildRotationSet, FindBestFill, TryFewerRows,
RemainderPatterns) from FillLinear — these were a major bottleneck in
strip nesting, running expensive fills on undersized remnant strips.
ShrinkFiller + RemnantFiller already handle space optimization, making
the remainder strip fill redundant.

StripNestEngine was passing progress directly to DefaultNestEngine.Fill
inside the ShrinkFiller loop, causing every per-angle/per-strategy report
to update the UI with overlapping layouts in the same work area.
Now inner fills are silent (null progress) and ShrinkFiller reports its
own progress when the best layout improves. IterativeShrinkFiller tracks
placed parts across items and includes them in reports. The trial box is
reported before the fill starts so the work area border updates immediately.

Draw only one set of preview parts at a time — active (current strategy)
takes precedence over stationary (overall best). Also clears active
parts when setting new stationary parts to prevent stale previews.

When the first pair candidate places more parts than needed (e.g., 17
when target is 10), sort by BoundingBox.Top, trim from the top until
exactly targetCount remain, and use that Top as the new work area
height. All subsequent candidates fill this smaller area, dramatically
reducing fill time.

When a target count is known, ShrinkFiller now uses FillBestFit (fast
rectangle packing) to estimate how many parts fit on the full area,
then scales the shrink axis proportionally to avoid an expensive
full-area fill. Falls back to full box if estimate is too aggressive.
Also shrinks to targetCount (not full count) to produce tighter boxes
when fewer parts are needed than the area can hold.
IterativeShrinkFiller passes NestItem.Quantity as the target count.

PairEvaluator already computes OptimalRotation via RotatingCalipers on
the pair's convex hull, but PairFiller.EvaluateCandidate only passed
hull edge angles to FillPattern. Now includes the optimal rotation
angle (and +90°) so tiling can use the mathematically tightest fit.

Both types were only used internally by the old StripNestEngine.Nest
strip-orientation logic, which has been replaced by IterativeShrinkFiller.
No references remain outside of these files.

Replaces the old orientation-based strip nesting (TryOrientation,
SelectStripItemIndex, EstimateStripDimension, ShrinkFill helpers) with
a call to IterativeShrinkFiller.Fill for multi-quantity items, plus a
RemnantFinder-based PackArea pass for singles and leftovers.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Introduces IterativeShrinkFiller.Fill, which composes RemnantFiller and
ShrinkFiller by wrapping the caller's fill function in a closure that tries
both ShrinkAxis.Height and ShrinkAxis.Width and picks the better FillScore.
Adds IterativeShrinkResult (Parts + Leftovers). Covers null/empty inputs and
single-item placement with three passing xUnit tests.

Includes fix for unlimited qty items (Quantity <= 0) that
RemnantFiller.FillItems silently skips. Workaround: convert
to estimated max capacity before passing in.
Also removes caliper angle sections from spec — RotationAnalysis
already feeds the caliper angle via FindBestRotation.

Kept using OpenNest.Api in Timing.cs and EditNestForm.cs alongside

- NestRunner now assigns Material to plates from request.Material
- NestResponse.LoadAsync uses descriptive exceptions instead of null-forgiving operators
- Fix pre-existing FillExtents.Fill signature mismatch (add bestFits parameter)

Stateless orchestrator that takes a NestRequest and returns a NestResponse.
Imports DXFs, builds NestItems, runs the engine in a multi-plate loop until
all parts are placed, computes timing, and returns utilization metrics.

Adds NestResponse type to OpenNest.Api with SaveAsync/LoadAsync for .nestquote format — a ZIP containing request.json, response.json (metrics), and an embedded nest.nest.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Adds a Write(Stream) overload that writes the ZIP archive to any stream
with leaveOpen: true so the caller can read back a MemoryStream after
the ZipArchive is disposed. Refactors Write(string) to delegate to the
new overload.

Relocates CutParameters from OpenNest namespace to OpenNest.Api, adds
LeadInLength and PostProcessor properties, and provides a typed Default
factory. Updates Timing.cs, the WinForms project reference, and the three
consuming forms to resolve the type from the new namespace.

Design for OpenNest.Api project providing a stateless NestRequest/NestResponse
facade over the engine, IO, and timing layers. Includes CutParameters unification,
multi-plate loop, .nestquote persistence format, and .opnest → .nest rename.

Move PlateViews and labels to designer file so they show in VS.
Fix nest orientation by swapping Box(Width,Length) to Box(Length,Width)
matching plate convention (Length=X, Width=Y). Add ComboBox Format
handler to show Drawing.Name. Zoom to fit after moving parts.

Extract magic numbers into named constants (MaxTopCandidates,
EarlyExitMinTried, etc.), extract candidate evaluation into
EvaluateCandidate method, and expose BestFits property so
PairsFillStrategy can reuse without redundant BestFitCache call.

Replace SetTemporaryParts/ClearTemporaryParts/AcceptTemporaryParts in all
three progress callbacks (RunAutoNest, FillPlate, FillArea) with the new
two-bucket API: SetStationaryParts for IsOverallBest updates,
SetActiveParts for transient updates, AcceptPreviewParts(parts) and
ClearPreviewParts for completion. Also removes the now-redundant
highWaterMark guards from FillPlate_Click and FillArea_Click.

Replace single temporaryParts list with stationaryParts (overall best,
full opacity) and activeParts (current strategy, reduced opacity).
Update SetPlate, Refresh, UpdateMatrix, DrawParts, and FillWithProgress
accordingly. Replace SetTemporaryParts/ClearTemporaryParts/AcceptTemporaryParts
with SetStationaryParts/SetActiveParts/ClearPreviewParts/AcceptPreviewParts.

The pattern bounding box already computes max(upper) - min(lower), so the
manual loop was redundant. Extract the N×N pair distance loop into a static
FindMaxPairDistance helper. Drop pre-cached edge arrays since GetEdges()
returns stored references with zero allocation.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Also fix missing using for FillHelpers in FillLinear and FillExtents,
and update callers (CompactorTests, PatternTileForm) for the new
Vector parameter.
