Implements a sealed adapter class that forces a fixed IPlateNester strategy onto
any NestJob, overriding the job's own PlacementStrategy while preserving MaxPlates.
Delegates all multi-plate allocation and stock selection to NestJobRunner.
This allows single-plate nesting strategies to compete as full whole-job
INestingEngine solvers in benchmarks, enabling comparative performance testing
of placement algorithms across various job configurations.

Task 5 of the whole-job engine API: add a geometry safety gate that
validates every candidate trial before the runner commits accounting.
- NestJobPlacementValidator: closed-contour validity, rotation-policy
compliance, work-area containment per quadrant, hole-aware material
overlap, and required part spacing. Overlap is interior-only, so
zero-clearance edge/corner contact remains a valid placement.
- NestJobValidator: route candidate validation through the geometry
gate; reject unusable/unclosed/degenerate contours up front.
- NestJobRunner: wrap candidate evaluation in a progress bridge that
tags legacy engine detail with the current candidate context.
- LegacyPlateNesterAdapter: forward IProgress to the legacy engine so
its progress surfaces under the active candidate.
- Tests: geometry (quadrants, rotations, touching, containment, holes,
empty stock, real Default/Strip smoke), validation, and cancellation
suites; repaired test fakes that emitted out-of-bounds or overlapping
placements the gate now correctly rejects.
Engine.Tests: 70 passed, 0 failed, 0 skipped in Debug and Release.
Windows-only OpenNest.Tests not run on Linux.
Replace name-based quantity deduction with reference-based drawing
identity in the engine paths the whole-job runner reaches
(NestEngineBase fill/pack, StripNestEngine deduction, RemnantFiller
ledger, IterativeShrinkFiller leftovers). Add instance-scoped
PlateNesterFactory that resolves built-in strategies without touching
the global NestEngineRegistry. Add identity and engine-selection tests.
44 net8.0 tests pass in Debug and Release; no new warnings.
