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.

A clamp rail can now carry its own Clearance, the gap parts keep from
every clamp footprint, independent of part spacing. Unset, it keeps the
sheet's bottom edge spacing as before. Clamp blocks drawn under the
sheet can use close to zero so the laser only stays off them.
Plate.ClampClearance and NestPlateStock.ClampClearance resolve it once;
the engines, interactive fill/pack/push, the layout check, Expander walls
and automatic cut-off placement all read it. The interactive push now
holds clamps at their square clearance keep-out (the layout check's
shape) instead of the part spacing, so parts no longer tuck into its
corners; the clamped fill characterization digests are re-pinned after
checking the new layouts validate.
Persisted as an optional `clearance` on the .nest clamp rail and the
machine clamp settings; edited in Nest > Clamps and the machine's
Clamps tab.

NestPlateStock carries the outline; its usable material (less obstacles,
eroded by the largest edge spacing) becomes the FrontierPacker's
PackBoundary. The layout check and the runner's candidate validation
reject a part outside the outline or over an obstacle, area-based cost
and the area budget use the material area, salvage credits nothing, and
Rectangles, Circles, FlatBar and the fill strategies place nothing on it.

TryImprove kept a swap when the trial run looked fuller than before, but
the trial charges each type's self-nesting gain again even when the run
already holds that type. Trading a placed copy for an identical unplaced
one therefore looked fuller by the gain and repeated forever: FlatBar ran
into the benchmark's 5-minute timeout on tabbed_cog_layout once the
all-edges MBR fix gave one part new rotations (it finished in 7 s before).
The swap is now judged on the merged run, so every kept swap really
leaves the run fuller and the loop terminates. Swaps the old test kept
that do fill the run are still kept.

Reads each stock as a bar and cuts parts in one row along its length, packing
part lengths with a port of the CutList saw cut-list packer (first-fit
decreasing with swap optimization, exhaustive search for small jobs) plus a
best-fill subset-sum candidate. Each part is packed at its length less its
measured self-nesting gain, and a slide-left compaction pass nests shaped ends
(turning alternate mitred parts) and refills the freed length. Every slid pose
is confirmed with NestLayoutCheck.Clears.
On five synthetic flat-bar jobs every layout is valid and complete; total cost
33696 vs Rectangles 36816 and Default 34080.
