Changing the nest defaults (Nest Info, Set as default, Edit Plate on an
empty sheet) left the editor's trailing empty sheet on the old size and
quadrant, so the writer's clamp-preserving empty-sheet rule saved it as a
stale extra sheet. PlateManager.ChangePlateDefaults wraps a defaults edit:
a trailing empty, cutoff-free sheet that exactly matched the old defaults
(and followed their rail with no removed clamps or explicit zones) takes the
new defaults; every other empty sheet keeps its configuration and is still
written.

Every plate was written with "removedClamps": [], so files without the
feature changed. The key is now omitted unless a clamp was removed, like
the other additive sections; nest-file-format.md documents removedClamps
and removalMinutes and their lenient reading.
PM 6ded8ac4-84fd-4e8b-9a3b-6f41e494542c item (c)
A negative removalMinutes in a saved nest made the ClampRail constructor
throw, so the reader dropped the whole rail and every sheet lost its
removed-clamp state and time. An invalid value now falls back to the
default five minutes, like a missing one.
PM 6ded8ac4-84fd-4e8b-9a3b-6f41e494542c item (b)
The optional per-plate removedClamps list was deserialized as a typed
List<string>, so a string or a list of numbers threw JsonException and the
whole nest failed to open. It now reads leniently: a non-array value reads
as none removed and non-string entries are skipped. The saved zones load
either way, so a removed clamp's area is never silently re-blocked or lost.

Slice 3b task 1 (D8/D9): ClampRail gains RemovalMinutes (D9, default
5 minutes, validated finite >= 0) and Plate gains RemovedClamps (rail
clamp ids taken off this sheet as a last resort) plus the computed
ClampRemovalMinutes. Plate.SetClampRail gains an overload that
attaches a rail with a removed-clamp set; zones become the rail's
resolution for the sheet minus those ids, re-resolved on every
resize/rotate so a removed clamp stays off and reappears removed if a
later resize brings it back onto the sheet. ClampRail.Matches gains an
overload comparing against the reduced resolution.
IO: PlateDto.RemovedClamps and ClampRailDto.RemovalMinutes persist
(missing removalMinutes falls back to the default; missing
removedClamps means none). The writer's empty-plate drop logic no
longer drops a sheet whose only content is a removal state the
defaults can't recreate. The reader re-attaches the nest rail to a
plate only when its saved zones equal the rail's resolution minus its
saved removed ids, so a reduced-clamp sheet keeps following the rail
(and the removal) through later resizes instead of freezing as static
zones.
Engine/desktop wiring (minimal-removal computation, Auto Nest
last-resort removal, cut-time, UI) is Slice 3b tasks 2-3, not yet
done.
Tests: 16 new Core (ClampRailTests) + 5 new IO (ClampRailPersistenceTests)
covering validation, resize/resolve behavior, round-trip, legacy
missing-key defaults, and the empty-plate-with-removal-only retention
case. Mutation check (reverting the RemovedClamps subtraction) turns
3 Core + 2 IO assertions red, confirming real coverage.
Gates: Release OpenNest.Tests 3884 passed/31 skipped, OpenNest.IO.Tests
105 passed, OpenNest.Engine.Tests (Clamp filter) 98 passed; scoped
dotnet format --verify-no-changes clean.
Omit an empty clamp-carrying plate only when a new plate from the saved
defaults would recreate it: same size and quadrant and zones the saved
rail recreates. A rail-following empty sheet with another size or
quadrant is written again instead of being lost.
Read plateDefaults.clampRail through a lenient converter so a wrongly
typed rail (a string or null width, non-numeric centers, an array in
place of the object) loads as no rail while every plate's saved zones
still load, as the file format documents, instead of failing the whole
nest.
Review findings 4 and 5, Project Memory 4e5f566d.
Write the nest's machine clamp rail under plateDefaults.clampRail
(width, depth, centers) so plates created or resized after a reload
still get the clamps. The key is omitted for nests without a rail, and
a missing, empty or malformed rail loads as none while each plate's
saved zones still load.
On load a plate follows the rail again only when its saved zones are
exactly the rail's for that sheet; other zones are kept as written.
The empty-plate filter now drops an empty sheet whose zones the saved
rail recreates, so the editor's trailing empty sheet is not written
for every clamped nest; empty sheets with other zones are still kept.
Add the additive per-plate clamps array (id, x, y, length, width) to the
nest DTO with writer and reader support. Files without the key load with
zero zones; an individually malformed entry is dropped while the rest of
the nest loads. A plate carrying only clamp definitions now survives the
writer's empty-plate filter; genuinely empty plates remain omitted.
Format documented in docs/nest-file-format.md.
PartQuantityReader parses a Parts worksheet (Part Name / Qty Required)
with exact-name matching and strict rejection of invalid, fractional,
negative, or duplicate quantities. Cut-only import drops case-insensitive
ETCH/SCRIBE mark layers before geometry so bend detection cannot
regenerate them. Tests cover both.
Repo-wide sweep with the pinned CSharpier 1.3.0 tool. Whitespace and
line-wrapping only; OpenNest.Engine.Tests (109) and OpenNest.IO.Tests
pass after reformat, full solution builds 0 errors.
Added .csharpierignore so csproj/config XML keeps its existing layout
(CSharpier's XML wrapping churns attributes with zero benefit).
Formatting is now enforceable: dotnet csharpier check . passes.
Add OpenNest.IO/Bending/BendRepair: opt-in repair of unambiguous paired
ETCH/SCRIBE bend ticks, bounded to <=3.175 mm endpoint movement with
explicit source units. Cut geometry is never modified.
- CadImportOptions.BendRepair configures it; CadImportResult exposes
per-bend BendRepairReports; CadImporter/Dxf wire it into import.
- Console: --repair-bends-mm <limit> --cad-units inches|mm prints
per-bend reports for newly imported DXFs.
- New OpenNest.IO.Tests project (net8.0, synthetic DXFs, 30 tests)
covering bend detection and repair, added to the solution.
- Update README.md and CLAUDE.md for the new pipeline and build/test
instructions.
