F1 opening help kept taking over from placing a part. Help stays on
the Help menu and F1 belongs to the Clone tool alone.

Desktop test classes each kept identical PumpUntil, Show, Mouse, All,
PressKey, Raise, SetBackingField and Field helpers. They now import
FormTesting and TestReflection; the two Field variants that read a base
type's field or unwrap DrawingLibraryForm keep a one-line wrapper.

Limits are plain coordinates, so moving a cut-off left the lines trimmed
to it stopping where it used to be. A drag now takes along perpendicular
lines with a limit or gap edge on its center, extending or trimming them
to keep meeting it.

Trim refused the piece between two crossing cut-offs because a cut-off had
one start and one end, so a line could not be stopped short around a pocket
of parts without deleting it and drawing two. A cut-off now carries Gaps,
stretches between its limits left uncut: segment generation excludes them
like parts, so the line splits into segments that each take their own place
in the cut sequence. Trimming a middle piece adds a gap from one crossing
centre to the other (merged with any it touches), Extend near a gap's edge
closes it, and Swap Through-Cut refuses a junction a gap touches rather
than guess which side of the gap should run through.
Every reader of the limits treats a gap as uncut, so nothing waits for,
warns about or credits a cut that never happens: segment spans stop at a
gap, the cutting dependencies skip a part inside one, the clamp check
ignores a clamp inside one, the cutting-state and overlap stamps go stale
when gaps change, and a gapped line is never full span for the expected
remnant or automatic cut-offs. Gaps persist as an optional gaps array;
older versions ignore it and would cut straight through.

A manual cut-off ran the full sheet even when another cut-off crossed it,
leaving a Trim/Extend pass to clean up what Automatic Scrap Cutoffs does
on its own. New lines now run from their start edge, set by the cut
direction, and stop at the first crossing line. Tab switches to full
length for the lines that should run through, and the choice lasts until
the nest is closed.

Operators could only drag or delete a cut-off, so changing which line runs
through a junction (e.g. letting a vertical split the sheet to keep a whole
remnant beyond it) meant deleting and re-adding lines. Trim/Extend edits the
existing start/end limits instead, so no file-format or planner change is
needed: trims stop on the crossing line's centre, extends run to the next
crossing or the sheet edge, and Swap Through-Cut (right-click a junction)
does both at once, trimming the through line's far side because only the
origin-side edge is certain. Edits undo as one step and re-place the changed
segments with PlateSequencing.PlaceCutOffs so a new separator is cut last.

Issue #13 asked whether a Sheet Cut-Off can be rotated; Space already
toggles vertical/horizontal, but nothing said so. The tool now shows a
"Space: turn horizontal" tag by the pointer, spells out its keys in the
status bar, and F1 opens a new sheet-cutoff help topic while it is
active (actions can now supply a status hint and a help topic).
