Set Offset Increment gains a "Calculated distance" option. With it on, the
arrow keys move the selection by its own size plus the part spacing,
measured on its geometry like a fill's copy distance, so it lands tight
without a push back. The move stops early at an edge, clamp or part, and a
clone preview steps clear of the copy just placed.

Operators want plates of the same size grouped together so material
doesn't need sorting when it arrives; there was no way to change plate
order. Rows can now be dragged to a new position (with a drop line and
edge auto-scroll), or moved with Alt+Up/Alt+Down. Each move is one
undoable "Move Plate" step and only reorders: quantities are untouched.
The trailing empty new-plate sentinel stays last. An empty plate moved
to the end becomes the sentinel, as the sentinel rule already does on
reload, so the order shown is the order saved.

The status bar showed only the material name and thickness, so nests
of the same material in different grades looked identical there. The
grade now follows the name, e.g. "Material: Steel A36 · 0.25 in".

Export Nest Report only wrote a file, so checking or printing a report meant
finding it and opening another program. View Nest Report renders the same
snapshot to a private temp folder and opens it in a WebView2 viewer with
Save As and Print; closing the window deletes the temp copy. Export and View
share the capture and write guards.

Review fixes for ledger-first Make Nests:
- The release renest (offer, staged run, codes, note) moves into
OpenNest.Desktop.ReleaseRenest, shared by the headless panel, the
live main window and the tests. Codes are given inside each commit, so
the live tab's Auto Nest undo step records them; before, undo and redo
dropped every ledger code.
- A bundle repeats one code per sheet: a later nest of the run lost the
whole bundle once an earlier nest took one sheet. Taken sheets are now
counted per code (LedgerCodeFilter.ExcludeCopies).
- A stage whose layout is not kept lists every copy it asked for as not
placed (the proposal cannot be kept), and a rejected ledger layout
says "MaterialLedger not used: Auto Nest could not keep a layout on
its stock" instead of a bare "No MaterialLedger stock used".
- "no free stock" is said only when the ledger had none; otherwise the
note counts what was left out (on other nests, taken by earlier nests
of this release, too small, unknown shape).
- The ledger is not read for a nest with nothing to nest, the live read
runs under the tab's stop token, a reason's own full stop is not
doubled, and the sheet count is the codes given.
With Nest after release ticked, one ReleaseLedgerStock is shared by the
whole run and passed to the renest step, headless or live in the main
window. The live tab runs one Auto Nest per stage (ledger stock, then
the Nest Defaults sheet), records the ledger locations for the plate
tooltips, and the group's note says how many sheets came from the
ledger or why it was not used.
A blank Made By now starts from the name the user last typed there, or
their Windows user name when they never typed one. Changing the box on OK
remembers the new name in user settings; clearing it falls back to the
Windows name again. A nest's own author is shown unchanged and is not
remembered unless the user edits it.

A nest window gave no sign that its nest had changed since the last
save, and closing it (or the app) discarded the edits silently. The
undo history already tracks a save point, so the title now ends in
" *" while the nest is off it (or holds an edit no scope recorded),
and closing asks to save, discard or cancel. Yes saves through the
storage in use; a database save cancels the close and closes the
window once the upload succeeds.
Saves now commit any unrecorded edit first so the save point covers
what was written. The window's cleanup moves from OnClosing to
OnFormClosed: another window can still cancel closing the app, and a
nest window must not lose its plate manager when that happens.

A server Auto Nest result could only be reviewed in the session that sent it,
and nothing stopped two desktops from keeping the same result. Phase 3 adds
My Server Jobs, so results that finished while OpenNest was closed are easy
to find, and records each review on the server.
- Server: GET /api/nest-jobs lists jobs newest first with state, engine,
submitter, times, queue position, review and the worker's summary (parts,
sheets, utilization, unplaced). It filters to active, finished or
unreviewed jobs and to a submitter (a bare user name matches that user on
any workstation). An ETag turns unchanged polls into 304s. Schema v17 adds
nestId, review and summary columns, only where missing.
- Keep once: POST .../keep and .../discard take If-Match on the job revision
and change an unreviewed result only once. A second desktop gets 409 with
who kept it. DELETE removes finished jobs. A succeeded job keeps its
package until it is reviewed, so a later session can rebuild the job.
- Retention: OPENNEST_JOB_RETENTION_DAYS (default 7) deletes finished jobs
with their results. It runs on claims and list reads. A malformed value
fails startup instead of deleting results early.
- Worker: reports the result's summary with the transcript. A job cancelled
while its result arrived keeps no summary (found in the Docker smoke run).
- Desktop: Nest > My Server Jobs polls the list every 3 s; polling rather
than per-job SSE because the list must show other desktops' jobs and
removals. Open rebuilds the job from job.json against the open nest's own
drawings. New per-drawing geometry fingerprints make the freshness check
work across sessions. Cancel Job and Remove act on the selected job. A
status-bar item counts this user's results waiting for review; there is
no popup. Auto Nest's review now records Keep on the server before it
commits, and records Discard too.

A server Auto Nest showed only "Nesting on the nest server" for however long
the job took, and Stop could take a whole 20-second heartbeat to reach the
worker. Now the desktop shows the same Best plan so far strip a local run
does, and a job that ends while OpenNest is in the background says so.
- Worker: RecordingNestingEngine taps each solve's progress. NestJobReporter
stores only the latest stage and plan, at most once every two seconds, so a
chatty engine cannot flood SQLite. Each round also reads the cancel flag,
so Stop reaches the worker within one interval (about 2 s in the Docker
smoke test).
- Server: schema v16 adds per-job revision, progress, plan and planRevision
columns, which the upgrade adds only where missing. PUT .../progress and
.../plan renew the lease like a heartbeat. GET .../events is Server-Sent
Events, woken by an in-process change signal: plan and job events with
revision ids, keep-alives, Last-Event-ID resume, and the final state always
sent before the stream ends. GET .../plan serves the polling fallback.
Progress goes over HTTP because the worker never opens the database
(another host, NFS).
- Desktop: NestJobWatch follows the stream. When the stream drops it polls
once and reconnects, and it polls throughout when the server has no stream.
RemoteNestPlanPreview draws worker plans from the client's own request,
including cutout-trial frame proxies. ServerNestNotice shows a tray balloon
(a toast on Windows 10/11) when the job ends while OpenNest is not in
front. A real toast would need an AUMID shortcut that Velopack does not
promise. Clicking the balloon brings the review forward; nothing is kept
without Keep.

PartSupport findings counted toward the headline and the Post Anyway
checkbox but had no tile or list group, so an operator saw "1 warning"
with nothing to read and was likely to tick through a part that may tip
once cut free. A test now fails if any finding kind is left unlisted.

File > Drawing Library Grid shows a page of library drawings side by
side. Check All Pages walks every page, downloading each drawing, timing
its label search without the paint's cell budget on a worker with a
10 s limit, then timing its paint, and lists drawings that fail, run
slow or would freeze a preview. It was added to confirm no other library
drawing hangs on load the way the twin-outline drawing did: a run over
all 40,757 drawings on the work server found no hangs or failures.

Plate commands need an open nest and no running job; Trim/Extend Cut-Off

The header gets a fourth zoom button that starts the existing Zoom Window
action, with a matching dashed-window icon also shown on View > Zoom To >
Area. It stays out of the inspection's live zoom controls: inspection owns
Escape, so a zoom window could not be cancelled there.
Show Original drew nothing until Simplify ran, and then showed entities that
had already been through import cleanup. The importers now capture the
entities before any optimization and the overlay draws those from load, while
Simplify keeps starting from the cleaned entities.

Desktop test classes each kept identical PumpUntil, Show, Mouse, All,

Plate > Set as Default and Nest > Edit's Defaults tab only changed the
open nest, so new nests never picked up the values. Set as Default now
also saves the new-nest defaults, and the Defaults tab gains an opt-in
"Use these defaults for new nests" check.
Machine thicknesses can now set part and edge spacing. A nest takes them
when its material, grade, thickness or machine changes and when a release
creates it; BOM import seeds its groups from them. Spacing edited in the
same dialog stays, and only an untouched trailing sheet follows.

Pressing a dimension's value text now grabs it like its line does. The
label keeps its offset under the pointer, so a radius or diameter value,
which sits past its leader's end, no longer jumps when grabbed. Hit boxes
are measured the way painting draws them, at the control's DPI.
Holes and radii need sizes on the drawing as well as the overall extents. Select
circles or arcs, right-click and choose Add Radius Dimension or Add Diameter
Dimension. The value is measured live from the curve, found by its entity ID, so
it follows edits; only the leader angle and label offset are saved. A radius on
an arc stays on its sweep, and labels are kept clear of the curve and center.

Shops need a part's overall size on the drawing while converting it. Width and
height are measured live from the geometry that will be cut, so they follow
filters, exclusions, simplifying, breakoffs and tabbed cutouts instead of going
stale. Only the placement is saved; dimensions never touch the program.

Customers and design tools hand over SVGs, and getting them in meant a
trip through another CAD tool. CadImporter now reads them like any other
drawing, and plates, programs and converter entities can be written out.
An SVG's numbers are not drawing units, so import converts to the nest's
units and never guesses: only an absolute width or height counts as a
stated size, since px means 1/96 in to browsers but 1/72 in to
Illustrator. Without one the desktop asks, showing the size each choice
gives, and headless callers must pass the scale or the import fails.

The repo mixed variants such as center/centre and color/colour, so a
name could be spelled either way and searches missed half the hits.
Standardize on the US spelling, matching .NET's own APIs (Color, Center).
Wire values owned by other systems keep their spelling: the material
ledger's "Cancelled" hold status and GitHub's "cancelled" job status.
No behavior change beyond the spelling of a few status messages.

Edits in the Cutting Parameters dialog only reached user settings, while a
plate's stored parameters took priority, so a change was lost on any
planned plate unless Apply succeeded. User settings now win; a plate's own
are the fallback when none are saved or readable.
WinForms tests saved to the real user-settings.json, and with user settings
winning a test's lead-ins would feed real planning, so they now use a temp
file and skip the legacy settings carry-over.

The drawing library tests relied on DataGridView picking a current row by
itself when the page is populated. It only does that when the first row is
already laid out as displayed, which the hosted Windows runner does not
guarantee. Without a current row SelectedRecord() is null, Add/Edit return
silently, and the test fails later:
- run 41057280460: EditSettings_SavesCutFirstAsANewRevision_AndTheAddAppliesIt
"Timed out waiting for the reloaded page."
- run 40312036013: MismatchWarning_IsShownBeforeTheAdd_AndCancelLeavesTheNestAlone
expected 2 messages, got 0.
Make the first row current explicitly after each page load (and after the
edit reload that precedes an Add), and make Run() rethrow a faulted task so
a failed step reports its own error rather than a 15 s timeout.
The release panel was the only place that counted a set in kits;
everywhere else in the drawing library calls them sets.

Machine Configuration held one lead-in and lead-out per thickness and
applied it to every contour. Each thickness now has Outside Cuts and
Inside Cuts tabs; inside cuts follow the outside leads until "Same as
outside cuts" is cleared, and configurations without inside leads keep
applying one pair to both.
The lead type lists, per-type fields and preview from Cutting Settings
are now a reusable LeadsEditor control that both dialogs use. The
machine tabs hide what the configuration cannot hold: the arc sweep,
the clean-hole kerf (taken from the thickness) and Line + Line.

Undo regenerates each restored plate's cut-offs, which removes the
cut-off parts first. A plate holding nothing but cut-offs became empty
for a moment, so the new-plate sentinel dropped a trailing plate while
the restore was still enumerating the plates, throwing "Collection was
modified". Regenerate inside a PlateManager batch so the sentinel only
settles once every plate is done.

Highlighting an earlier version on the Versions tab left the plates,
drawings and plate preview on the current version, so there was no way

as historical; selecting the current version returns to it.

The panel gains a Current plate only / All plates selector, shown when the

keep their fixed scopes.

Auto Nest leaves out ledger item codes already on other open server nests,
and save and post re-check a nest's codes before going on.
- Server: GET /api/nests/stock-item-codes?exclude= lists the codes on
non-deleted Draft, Quote and To Be Cut nests. Codes are stored in
nest_stock_codes (schema v14) at every archive write; the upgrade reads
each current archive once.
- Data: INestRepository.GetStockCodesInUseAsync, LedgerCodesInUse (5 s,
failures become an unknown answer), the pure LedgerCodeFilter for ledger
rows (reusable by release-time nesting) and LedgerCodeCheck for the
re-check.
- Desktop: the Auto Nest ledger summary counts "(N on other nests)" or says
other nests were not checked. Save, Save As and post open Ledger Stock
Changed when codes are taken: proceed after a per-attempt
acknowledgement, remove the codes (undoable), or cancel. A ledger that
cannot be read skips the check with a status note.

Add a Support Bed tab beside Clamps that edits the grid or slats new

- archived library drawings: say they can't be edited or released; no
front end can restore a library drawing yet
- library filter hint names the Show all materials checkbox
- undo labels Support Bed and Automatic Scrap Cutoffs match their menus
- display-outline posting hints name both Plate > Plan Cutting... and
--plan-cutting, since the console prints them too
- MaterialLedger options are saved per Windows user, not per machine
Clamps are physical fixtures that differ between machines, but one global
clamps.json served every machine, so a plasma table and a fiber laser could
not have different rails.
- MachineConfig.Clamps holds each machine's rail in the machine's units,
edited on a new Clamps tab in Tools > Machine Configuration.
- New and BOM import give a nest the rail of the machine they assign;
Nest > Clamps loads and saves the nest's machine's clamps. Each nest keeps
its own copy, so machine edits never move existing nests' clamps.
- At startup, while no machine has clamps, the legacy clamps.json (or the
server's shared copy) is copied once into the default or only machine;
with several machines and no default the user picks one.

Nest drawings can require no parts, but the CAD Converter's quantity
spinner had a minimum of 1, so Edit Drawings in Converter threw
ArgumentOutOfRangeException as soon as such a drawing was selected.

The nest's machine and its Nest Info fields were the last edits only the
fingerprint safety net could catch (and it misses most of them). Machine
is now one step, together with the support grid and cut-off settings the
machine brings. Nest Info is one step for what Undo can put back (units,
material, thickness, customer, notes and plate defaults); the name,
status, author and creation date stay as they are through Undo, so an
edit of only those records nothing.
The sheet strip only shows Auto Nest proposals; what it shows is
committed through Auto Nest, which is already recorded.

Drawing changes were unrecorded, so Undo skipped them or lumped them
into an anonymous "Change". Each is now one labelled step: Import
Drawings, Shape Library (menu and panel button), Drawing Library (what
the dialog added or re-quantified), Save to Drawing Library (the nest
keeps the drawing's new library link), Edit Drawings in the converter,
Drawing Properties, Delete Drawing and Clean Unused Drawings. Dropping a
drawing on a plate was already recorded as Add Part and is now tested.
The converter can change live programs while it loads, even when it is
cancelled; a cancel that did so now rolls the nest back to before the
converter opened instead of leaving those edits unrecorded.
Deleting a drawing threw when removing its parts emptied the trailing
plates, because the plate manager drops trailing empty plates while the
loop walked the live plate list; it walks a copy now.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Cutting edits were unrecorded, so Undo skipped them or folded them into
an anonymous "Change". Each is now one labelled step: Add Cut-Off, Move
Cut-Off (one step per drag), Automatic Cut-Offs, Auto Sequence (current
plate or all plates, only when the order changed), Set Sequence (per
click), Sequence by Path (the whole tool session; Backspace and Ctrl+Z
inside it still take back one line), Place Lead-In, Remove Lead-Ins (the
tool's menu, the plate and the nest commands), Cutting Parameters (an
edited lead-in panel when the tool closes), Plan Cutting and Clear
Lead-ins and Cut-offs.
Plan Cutting stages scrap cut-offs on the live plates before it plans,
so its scope opens with the staging and records only when the plan is
applied; closing without applying records nothing. Clearing applied work
is its own step and no longer warns that it cannot be undone.
Opening the lead-in tool used to give a plate without parameters the
defaults straight away; the plate now takes the tool's parameters with
its first lead-in, so opening and closing the tool changes nothing.
Undo no longer waits while the tool has a part picked: it ends the tool.

Plate and clamp changes went unrecorded, so Undo skipped them or lumped
them into an anonymous "Change". Each is now one labelled step: Edit
Plate (only on OK), Rotate Plate, Resize Plate, Set Nest Default Plate,
Clamps and Support Grid (applying to the nest; saving machine defaults
stays outside the history), Remove Clamp / Put Clamp Back from the
plate's clamp menu, and Add/Move/Delete Clamp in Edit Clamps.
Edit Plate used to copy an empty plate's settings into the nest defaults
even when the dialog was cancelled; that now happens only on OK, so a
cancelled dialog changes nothing.

Placement edits were only caught by the fingerprint safety net, so they
undid as an anonymous "Change" or folded into the next edit. Each now
records one labelled step: Fill (at the commit, so a stopped fill that
keeps nothing records nothing), Fill Area, Pattern Tile, Auto Nest (from
the kept proposal only; Make Nests tabs too), Clear Nest, Remove Empty
Plates and Center Parts. Clear Nest no longer warns that it cannot be
undone.
Pattern Tile onto a new plate created a plate beside the empty sentinel,
which the plate manager dropped at once, so the pattern landed on a
detached plate; it now fills the sentinel.
The undo tests share one harness that compares a text description of the
nest before an edit and after Undo.

Whole-nest snapshots make undo safe without a hand-written inverse per
operation: each recorded edit stores one NestSnapshot in the document's
history, and Undo/Redo read one back and swap it into the open window.
- Document.History is reset with the opened nest; Save and database
saves mark the save point instead of clearing it.
- EditNestForm.BeginChange opens a scope: nested scopes merge into the
outermost, Complete commits one entry, and leaving it incomplete rolls
a changed nest back. No-ops are detected by the scope's changed flag,
not by comparing bytes (copies are not byte-stable).
- RestoreNest shares the per-nest binding with the constructor and keeps
the Document, the nest's identity, the plate index, the viewport and
the selection. It ends the action, closes Cutting Inspection, side
panels and the remnant viewer, rebuilds the PlateManager, reapplies
the view's cut-off settings and recolours the drawings, because each
of those holds or derives from the old nest's objects.
- An edit no scope recorded (Phase 3 sites) is detected by a cheap
fingerprint and committed as its own "Change" entry before a scope,
Undo or Redo, so it is never silently discarded; DEBUG builds also
warn about it on idle.
- Edit > Undo/Redo name the next entry. Ctrl+Z/Ctrl+Y/Ctrl+Shift+Z go
to focused text editors first, then to an action's own step-back
(Sequence by Path), then to the nest. They wait for jobs, fills,
background saves and busy actions, but not for a plain selection.
- Recorded: delete, drag, arrow nudges (coalesced), rotate, align,
push, expand spacing, add part (drop and clone), cut, add and remove
plate.

Typing customer, material, grade and thickness by hand let near-duplicate
spellings into the library, which then split drawings that should match.
The fields are now drop-downs of the values the library and the machine
material catalog already use, while still accepting new values; thicknesses
already used for the material are listed ahead of the standard gauges.
A library color could be set but never cleared back to the color scheme's,
so Automatic and Reset are added. The rotation start/end/step boxes gave no
sense of the range, so a dial shades it, ticks the angles the engines try
(via RotationPolicy) and lets either end be dragged.
