Parallel loops were flooding the UI with per-angle/per-candidate reports
faster than WinForms could render them. Use Interlocked timestamp checks
to report at most every 150ms, keeping descriptions readable.

Don't overwrite the Detail label with phase-level reports — let the
per-angle and per-candidate descriptions from the parallel loops remain
visible. Only clear the label on completion.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
ReportProgress was not setting Description, so the Detail row always
showed the default em-dash. Now each phase report includes a meaningful
description, and UpdateProgress always updates the label (resetting to
em-dash when null).

Replace shape-list iteration with ShapeProfile.Perimeter in both
Part.Intersects and PartBoundary, simplifying the logic and ensuring

- Add verbose per-file and per-sheet-size console output during collection
- Skip already-processed parts at the sheet-size level instead of all-or-nothing
- Precompute best-fits once per part and reuse across all sheet sizes
- Clear best-fit cache after each part to prevent memory growth
- Save best-fits in separate bestfits/ zip entries instead of embedding in nest.json
- Filter to Keep=true results only and scope to plate sizes in the nest
- Set nest name to match filename (includes sheet size and part count)
- Add TrainingDatabase with per-run skip logic and SQLite schema

Run pairs phase first to establish a baseline before linear and
rect-best-fit phases. Replace IsBetterFill with direct FillScore

Thread ISlideComputer through BestFitCache → BestFitFinder →
RotationSlideStrategy. RotationSlideStrategy now collects all offsets
across 4 push directions and dispatches them in a single batch (GPU or
CPU fallback). Also improves rotation angle extraction: uses raw geometry
(line endpoints + arc cardinal extremes) instead of tessellation to avoid
flooding the hull with near-duplicate edge angles, and adds a 5-degree
deduplication threshold.

ISlideComputer abstracts batched directional-distance computation so GPU
implementations can process all slide offsets in a single kernel launch.
GpuSlideComputer uses ILGPU with prepared edge data (precomputed inverse
deltas and min/max bounds) and caches stationary/moving buffers across
calls. GpuEvaluatorFactory exposes a singleton factory method.

Brings in the full NFP implementation: ConvexDecomposition, NoFitPolygon,
InnerFitPolygon, NfpCache, BottomLeftFill, SimulatedAnnealing optimizer,
and INestOptimizer interface. Resolves conflicts by keeping master's
progress reporting infrastructure alongside the new AutoNest methods,
and adapting RunAutoNest_Click to use NFP AutoNest with async/cancellation.

Implement geometry-aware nesting using No-Fit Polygons and simulated
annealing optimization. Parts interlock based on true shape rather than
bounding boxes, producing tighter layouts for mixed-part scenarios.
New types in Core/Geometry:
- ConvexDecomposition: ear-clipping triangulation for concave polygons
- NoFitPolygon: Minkowski sum via convex decomposition + Clipper2 union
- InnerFitPolygon: feasible region computation for plate placement
New types in Engine:
- NfpCache: caches NFPs keyed by (drawingId, rotation) pairs
- BottomLeftFill: places parts using feasible regions from IFP - NFP union
- INestOptimizer: abstraction for future GA/parallel upgrades
- SimulatedAnnealing: optimizes part ordering and rotation
Integration:
- NestEngine.AutoNest(): new public entry point for mixed-part nesting
- MainForm.RunAutoNest_Click: uses AutoNest instead of Pack
- NestingTools.autonest_plate: new MCP tool for Claude Code integration
- Drawing.Id: auto-incrementing identifier for NFP cache keys
- Clipper2 NuGet added to OpenNest.Core for polygon boolean operations

The push algorithm's copy distance formula (bboxDim - slideDistance)
produced distances smaller than the part width when inflated boundary
arc vertices interacted spuriously, causing ~0.05 unit overlaps between
all adjacent grid parts.
Two fixes applied:
- Clamp ComputeCopyDistance to bboxDim + PartSpacing minimum
- Use circumscribed polygons (R/cos(halfStep)) for PartBoundary arc
discretization so chord segments never cut inside the true arc,
eliminating the ChordTolerance offset workaround
Also parallelized three sequential fill loops using Parallel.ForEach:
- FindBestFill angle sweep (up to 38 angles x 2 directions)
- FillPattern angle sweep for group/pair fills
- FillRemainingStrip rotation loop
Added diagnostic logging to HasOverlaps, FindCopyDistance, and
FillRecursive for debugging fill issues.
Test result: 45 parts @ 79.6% -> 47 parts @ 83.1%, zero overlaps.

When the greedy maximum-row tiling leaves a thin remainder, tries removing
the last row and re-filling the larger strip. Picks whichever total is
higher. Fixes cases where e.g. 4 rows + 11 remainder = 47 beats 5 rows = 45.

Pre-size TilePattern result list from estimated copy count to avoid
resizing. Remove redundant Program.BoundingBox() call and UpdateBounds()
in MakeSeedPattern — the Part's BoundingBox is already correct.

max(aUpper_i - bLower_j) across all pairs simplifies to

FindCopyDistance and FindPatternCopyDistance were cloning entire Parts
(including deep Program copies) just to get offset locations for
GetLines. Compute offset locations directly instead. Also skip the
Pattern wrapper in TilePattern — clone parts directly.

RotationDirection and direction filtering were recomputed on every
GetLines call. Pre-compute edges per PushDirection once in the
constructor so GetLines only translates cached edges.

Part.Clone() re-clones from the drawing's unrotated program, re-rotates,
and walks all CNC codes twice for bounding box — 4 O(c) passes per clone.
CloneAtOffset clones from the already-rotated program and computes the
bounding box arithmetically, reducing to 1 O(c) pass per clone.

- Add bounding box rejection in HasOverlaps to skip expensive
Part.Intersects (CNC→geometry conversion) for non-adjacent parts.
Eliminates ~35% CPU in IsBetterValidFill for grid layouts.
- Optimize RayEdgeDistance: access Line fields directly instead of
property getters (avoids Vector struct copies), inline IsEqualTo
with direct range comparison (avoids Math.Abs), and precompute
deltas for reuse in interpolation.
- Cache line endpoints in DirectionalDistance outer loop to avoid
repeated struct copies in the inner loop.
- Add fill timer to ActionClone.Fill, displayed in PlateView status
bar as "Fill: N parts in M ms".

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).

Narrow remnant strips now get more parts by:
- Sweeping rotations every 5° when the strip is narrower than the part
- Including all pairs that fit the strip width (not just top 50 by area)
- Placing individual parts from incomplete pattern copies that still fit
- Using finer polygon tolerance (0.01) for hull edge angle detection

Extract MakeSeedPattern for shared part creation, and replace the
two-step primary/perpendicular tiling with a single FillRecursive
method that tiles along one axis then recurses perpendicular.

Add PushDirection.Right and PushDirection.Up to RotationSlideStrategy so
parts can approach from all four directions. This discovers concave
interlocking arrangements (e.g. L-shaped parts nesting into each other's
cavities) that the original Left/Down-only slides could never reach.
Introduce BestFitCache so best-fit results are computed once at step size
0.25 and shared between the viewer and nesting engine. The GPU evaluator
factory is configured once at startup instead of being wired per call
site, and NestEngine.CreateEvaluator is removed.

Extract offset polygon computation into PartBoundary, which builds
and caches inflated boundary polygons per unique part geometry.
FillLinear now uses symmetric half-spacing and reuses boundaries
across tiling passes, avoiding redundant offset calculations.

- Remove dead code: FillArea overloads, Fill(NestItem, int), FillWithPairs(NestItem),
ConvertTileResultToParts, PackBottomLeft.FindPointHorizontal, Pattern.GetLines/GetOffsetLines,
unused count variable in FillNoRotation
- Simplify IsBetterValidFill to delegate to IsBetterFill after overlap check
NestEngine reduced from 717 to 484 lines.
