- Try all valid best fit pairs instead of only the first when qty=2,
picking the best via IsBetterFill comparer (fixes suboptimal plate
selection during auto-nesting)
- Pre-compute best fits across all plate sizes once via
BestFitCache.ComputeForSizes instead of per-size GPU evaluation
- Early exit plate optimizer when all items fit (salvage < 100%)
- Trim slide offset sweep range to 50% overlap to reduce candidates
- Use actual geometry (ray-arc/ray-circle intersection) instead of
tessellated polygons for slide distance computation — eliminates
the massive line count from circle/arc tessellation
- Add RayArcDistance and RayCircleDistance to SpatialQuery
- Add PartGeometry.GetOffsetPerimeterEntities for non-tessellated
perimeter extraction
- Disable GPU slide computer (slower than CPU currently)
- Remove dead SelectBestFitPair virtual method and overrides
Reduces best fit computation from 7+ minutes to ~4 seconds for a
73x25" part with 30+ holes on a 48x96 plate.

- Strategies now promote results to IsOverallBest when they beat the
pipeline best, so the UI updates immediately on improvement rather
than waiting for each phase to complete
- PlateView only updates the main view on overall-best results, fixing
intermediate angle-sweep layouts leaking to the plate display
- Skip Row/Column strategies for rectangle parts (redundant with Linear)
- Intercept Escape key at MainForm level via ProcessCmdKey so it always
reaches the active PlateView regardless of focus state
- Restore keyboard focus to PlateView after fill progress form closes
- Remnant engines use SelectBestFitPair for orientation-aware pair
selection; DefaultNestEngine tries both landscape and portrait pairs
- RemnantFiller preserves more parts during topmost-part removal

Box constructor and derived properties (Right, Top, Center, Translate, Offset)
had Width and Length swapped — Length is X axis, Width is Y axis. Corrected
across Core geometry, plate bounding box, rectangle packing, fill algorithms,
tests, and UI renderers.
Added FillSpiral with center remnant detection and recursive FillBest on
the gap between the 4 spiral quadrants. RectFill.FillBest now compares
spiral+center vs full best-fit fairly. BestCombination returns a
CombinationResult record instead of out params.

Replace RotationAnalysis.FindBestRotation with PartClassifier.Classify in
RunPipeline, propagate ClassificationResult through BuildAngles signatures and
FillContext.PartType, and rewrite AngleCandidateBuilder to dispatch on part type
(Circle=1 angle, Rectangle=2, Irregular=full sweep).

Make quantity trimming direction-aware: DefaultNestEngine uses TrimAxis
(virtual property on NestEngineBase) so HorizontalRemnantEngine removes
topmost parts instead of rightmost. Rename ShrinkAxis.Height → Length
for consistency with Width/Length naming used throughout the codebase.

Two new engine classes subclassing DefaultNestEngine that override
CreateComparer, PreferredDirection, and BuildAngles to optimize for
preserving side remnants. Both registered in NestEngineRegistry and
covered by 6 integration tests.
