Priority worked like a rank (lower first) with a default of 0, and the
Edit Drawing form stopped at 0, so moving one part ahead of the rest
meant renumbering every other drawing. Higher-first lets a user raise a
single part to 1 and leave everything else at the default.
Every engine, filler and candidate comparer now serves the highest tier
first. Stored values keep their order:
- .nest files add `nestPriority` and keep writing the negated value under
`priority`, so older readers nest in the same order; files without
`nestPriority` are negated on read. Drawing packages strip both, so
package hashes are unchanged.
- Library settings send both keys the same way for older clients.
- Server schema v18 negates stored drawing priorities (an older server
refuses the upgraded database).
- Job documents move to version 2; version 1 jobs are converted, and an
older worker refuses version 2 instead of reversing the order.
The Edit Drawing form now accepts negative priorities and says higher
numbers nest first.

Task 6 of the whole-job engine API: adapt the public NestRequest/NestRunner/
NestResponse surface to delegate to the whole-job runner instead of a manual
quantity loop.
- NestRequest: optional explicit Plates stock list (null keeps the legacy
unlimited SheetSize fallback; empty list means no available stock),
optional per-part Id (derived as part-{index} when absent), and an explicit
PlacementStrategy that takes precedence over the legacy Strategy.
- NestRequestPlate: one physical-stock type (id, size, quantity, spacing,
quadrant).
- NestRunner: imports each DXF once, propagates priority/rotation constraints,
runs a single NestJobRunner solve, materializes ID/pose placements exactly
once, and reports aggregate utilization as total placed part area over total
physical sheet area.
- NestResponse: exposes status, stop reason, part fulfillment, stock usage,
and plate-to-stock mapping; .nestquote save/load gains a schema version and
reports completion as unknown for old archives lacking fulfillment metadata.
- Tests: extend the Api request/runner/persistence suites for legacy SheetSize,
explicit mixed finite stock, stock exhaustion, weighted utilization, old
archive loading, and new-archive round trips.
Verification: cross-compiles clean on net8.0-windows (Linux). The Api tests
require a Windows runner (net8.0-windows) and are NOT executed here; the
delegated engine logic is covered by the 70-test net8.0 Engine.Tests suite
(committed in Task 5). Windows runtime verification remains outstanding.
