Small parts such as 1.5" test squares on a 2" laser grid rest on at most
one grid point, so no single support tab can bring their center of
gravity inside the contacts and Plan Cutting warned "no single tab can
steady it" on every one. In practice a part that short stays in the
sheet on its tab, so the bed's contacts don't matter.
Cutting Settings > Tabs gets "Tab alone holds parts up to N long"
(CuttingParameters.TabHeldMaxLength, 0 = off, the default). On a plate
with a bed, a part the bed can't hold level whose length (long side of
its minimum-area bounding rectangle) is within the limit is still
tabbed, but any tab clear of inside corners steadies it, so Plan
Cutting, hand-placed lead-ins and the pre-post review warn only when it
has no tab at all. The setting persists with the cutting parameters and
is part of the plan state fingerprint.

With support tabs on and no support bed, nothing was tabbed and nothing
said so. A new no-bed width range (NoBedTabMinWidth..NoBedTabMaxWidth,
the short side of the part's minimum-area bounding rectangle) now picks
the parts to tab instead. SupportTabSettings.Analyze makes the choice
for Plan Cutting, hand-placed lead-ins and the pre-post review; without
a bed any tab clear of inside corners counts. With no bed and no range,
the plan notes that nothing was tabbed. Cutting Settings > Tabs gains
the range fields, and the values persist with the cutting parameters.

Slats are strips of a set thickness running the full length or width of
the table, one every pitch. A part's contacts are the corners of where its
material crosses a slat, so the support check and support tabs work as on
the grid. Nest > Support Bed... picks grid or slats; nest files store
type "slats" and support-grid.json keeps both layouts' values. Draw
Support shows the slats cut off to the sheet.

Model the machine's support bed as a grid of contact points measured
from the plate origin, and check each part's center of gravity against
the convex hull of the grid points under its material. The bed is
extensible so straight and CAD-imported curved slats can follow.
- Core: SupportBed/SupportGrid, SupportMaterial and SupportAnalyzer
(margin with registration tolerance, best single tab point)
- Nest-wide support bed that every plate follows, saved in
plateDefaults.supportBed; machine defaults in support-grid.json
- CuttingParameters.SupportTabs: Plan Cutting tabs only unsupported
parts and limits their perimeter entries to points where the tab
steadies the part, falling back to any fitting entry
- Desktop: Nest > Support Grid..., View > Draw Support overlay and a
"Tab parts the support grid cannot hold level" tab option
- docs/support-tabs.md, nest file format and planner notes
