The status bar's "Layout: OK" ran its own snapshot check of overlaps and
part spacing, separate from Validate Nest and posting, so a part dragged
off the sheet still read OK.
The plate capture now owns the sheet frame (sheet box, work area,
outline), and the worker runs PlateEdgeReview's material check on it:
"N off plate" and "N near edge" join the label. Snapshots hold no leads,
so leads past the sheet stay a Validate Nest/posting finding. The
geometry stamp now includes edge spacing and outline so changing them
marks the result out of date. Bare-part captures (Plan Cutting) have no
frame and are unchanged.

Expensive alloy jobs (N26-295, 310 stainless) could not fit their last
PT42 at full part spacing; the plate was squeezed to 0.2 spacing with a
part 0.14 from the edge. Parts whose straight edges face each other one
kerf apart are cut on the same centerline, saving the spacing along each
shared edge.
Plate.CommonLines holds groups of parts and the kerf they were joined
at. Shared spans are derived from the placed clean perimeters, never
stored, so a moved member breaks its group instead of leaving a stale
span. Plate > Arrange > Join Common Line slides the selected parts
together at the plate's kerf; Remove Common Line ungroups them. The
plate draws shared spans as a dashed centerline.
Both spacing checks hold group members to the kerf instead of the part
spacing, and a new pre-post Common lines check reports broken groups, a
changed kerf, and leads that run into a partner. Groups persist as part
positions in an optional commonLines array that older readers ignore.
This first slice still cuts every shared edge twice; single-pass cutting
through Plan Cutting and the posts comes next.

Validate Nest and the pre-post review checked overlaps and part-to-part
spacing but never the sheet itself, so a part dragged past the plate edge,
a lead-in piercing off the sheet, or a part inside the edge spacing could
post without a warning. Only Auto Nest's own layout check held parts to
the work area.
PlateEdgeReview adds two finding kinds:
- OffPlate: any cut, lead or scribe motion past the sheet, or clean
material outside an outlined sheet or over one of its obstacles.
- EdgeSpacing: clean material (leads excluded) outside the work area, or
closer than the largest edge spacing to an outline or obstacle - the
bound Auto Nest's layout check applies, with SpacingSlack, so layouts it
accepted stay clear.
Cut-off parts are exempt. Routing-replay test fixtures sit at the sheet
origin with leads hanging off it; their route assertions now ignore the
sheet-bound kinds, and the post-contract fixture moves onto the sheet.

The overlap check now runs the pre-post part spacing scan on its snapshot,
so the canvas label and posting agree. Too-close pairs are counted in the
label and marked with an orange ring showing the gap, with hover details.
A fully checked plate with no findings draws a green check instead of
text; the status bar keeps the wording. Changing the plate's part spacing
now stales the report, and repeated parts share one offset outline so
automatic rechecks stay fast.

NestLayoutCheck rejected Fill layouts whose interlocked arcs sat exactly
at the part spacing: its SpacingOutline circumscribes arcs by up to 0.001
each, more than the 0.0005 slack, so facing arcs overlapped. The runner's
placement validator measured inscribed 0.001 polygons instead and so
accepted gaps up to ~0.002 under the slack.
Both now find candidates with SpacingOutline and confirm them on
NativeContours, the native contours flattened at a twentieth of the slack
(moved out of PartSpacingReview, which keeps using them). The runner calls
NestLayoutCheck.KeepsSpacing, the same outline, tie rule and
confirmation, so the two validators accept exactly the same pairs.
Clears stays unconfirmed and stricter for engine certification. No
tolerance changed.
FixedStrategyEngine_IrregularJob pins now assert LayoutAssert.Valid with
unchanged digests; the NativeU 70-part grid's 28 reports were the same
cause and its test now requires none.

Validate Nest, the posting review and console --post now report a
"Part spacing" finding for pairs of parts that do not overlap but sit
closer than the plate's part spacing. Before, only Auto Nest's
Keep/Discard review checked spacing, so hand-edited layouts could be
validated and posted with parts too close together.
Candidates are found with Auto Nest's own outline test, moved into Core
as SpacingOutline (NestLayoutCheck and NestTolerances now use it; Engine
tests unchanged). Because that outline circumscribes arcs by more than
the spacing slack, each candidate is confirmed on native contours
flattened 20x finer than the slack, so arcs placed exactly at the
spacing by interactive fills stay clear. The finding reports the
measured gap and marks the middle of the closest approach. Overlapping
pairs, cut-offs, zero spacing, the plate edge and clamps are not
reported as spacing findings.
