Posting a nest with a sheet cut-off threw because the CI Fiber writer
treated every contour as a compensated part contour and requires a
linear lead-in after G41/G42 (TF5200 13.2.4.1). Cut-offs are open
centreline cuts with no lead-in and no inside/outside, so they now post
without G41/G42 and run after every part on the sheet so the sheet is
not severed before the parts are cut (matching the CL post).

New post-processor plugin OpenNest.Posts.CincinnatiCIFiber for the CI
Fiber laser family (nLight CLX / Beckhoff TF5200 / Precitec ProCutter,
e.g. the CI Fiber 4020 8kW). Named by machine family, not table size.
Emits the machine program contract of the Cincinnati-supplied sample NC
(12992-4SS_NEST.nc): V.E.* header, restart jump, per-part V.E.R4 blocks,
per-contour N labels with V.E.R3, skippable /L macro lines (L0/L2+G41
interior, L4+G42 exterior, L6 cut-on, ZHSOFF cut-end), G162 incremental
arc I/J, trimmed 3-decimal spaceless coordinates, CRLF, M50/M30/%.
Contour classification (interior vs exterior) derives from the material
side of the closed cut path, not hardcoded winding. SubProgramCall holes
are flattened to sheet coordinates (rotation-safe). Arc lead-ins are
rejected per TF5200 13.2.4.1 (first motion block after G41/G42 selection
must be linear). Table envelope (default 160.25 x 81.25 in) validated.
Tests: structure golden on a square-with-hole nest, rotated-hole flatten,
coordinate format, arc-lead-in rejection, table validation, suppressed/
scribe skipping, plus a SkippableFact regression against the real sample
NC (109 parts, 2071 contours, L2=1962, L4=109, perimeter vertices match
within 0.001). Fixtures configure through OpenNest.Tests/test-config.json
and the regression skips when absent.
