Irregular's block catalog fills a private plate per part type, and that
fill searched best-fit pairs through the overload that ignores the
token. On one CPU the search can take minutes, so a time limit waited
for it: the converted Nestbolt m-public-gear-1 job under a 60 s limit
ran past 180 s. PrivatePlateFill now passes its token, as PairCatalog
does since 9431006e; the search still finishes in the background and
fills the shared cache.
gear-1, Irregular, one CPU, 60 s limit: killed after 180 s -> stops at
60.0 s (no layout yet; its no-fit polygons are the next bottleneck).
DefaultPlateFiller becomes PlateFiller(plate, policy, layout); PlateFillerBase
and StripPlateFiller are gone. PlateLayout.FillThenPack is the old
orchestrator path (Fill and both Remnants); PlateLayout.Strips is the old
StripPlateFiller.Nest, and Strip is Fill policy plus Strips layout.
Lifetimes are unchanged: a strip-layout filler runs every Fill, group Fill
and PackArea on a fresh inner filler and gives each strip fresh remnant
fillers, so learned angles and PlateNumber never leak into them. The
comparer, preferred direction, trim axis and angle recording now read the
policy directly. The base class's unsorted two-angle BuildAngles is dropped:
only DefaultPlateFiller's pipeline called BuildAngles, and Strip never ran it.
Layout-neutral: all 29 FillStackCharacterizationTests pins pass unchanged.

The multi-phase lattice fill (linear, pairs, rectangle best-fit, remainder) is
no longer meant to be the engine used by default, so it gets a name for what
it does. The registry lists it as Fill and maps the old name Default to it;
PlateFillService, PlateNesterFactory and NestJobOptions use Fill, and every
fill-strategy caller still accepts Default. Console --autonest now validates
engine names through NestingEngineRegistry.ResolveName so renamed names work.
Layouts are unchanged: Default and Fill resolve to the same fillers and the
golden layouts pass under the new name.
Move BlockCatalog's private-drawing Fill invocation (BestFitCache stabilization plus
the Default FillItem call) into PrivatePlateFill so the cutout fill can reuse it
without duplicating the cache handling. Behavior unchanged; Irregular filter 96/96.
