Expand Spacing measured every ring pair of every part pair for each trial
move, so a packed layout of parts with holes took minutes per spacing
probe. Skip ring pairs, far part pairs and off-path parts whose bounds
already settle the answer.
Every pair was also held at its full starting gap, so parts could not
move toward anything and most layouts stayed at their entry spacing.
Part pairs may now close to the spacing being tried, never below a
smaller starting gap. Cut-offs and clamps keep their full entry gap.

The repo mixed variants such as center/centre and color/colour, so a
name could be spelled either way and searches missed half the hits.
Standardize on the US spelling, matching .NET's own APIs (Color, Center).
Wire values owned by other systems keep their spelling: the material
ledger's "Cancelled" hold status and GitHub's "cancelled" job status.
No behavior change beyond the spelling of a few status messages.

A clamp rail can now carry its own Clearance, the gap parts keep from
every clamp footprint, independent of part spacing. Unset, it keeps the
sheet's bottom edge spacing as before. Clamp blocks drawn under the
sheet can use close to zero so the laser only stays off them.
Plate.ClampClearance and NestPlateStock.ClampClearance resolve it once;
the engines, interactive fill/pack/push, the layout check, Expander walls
and automatic cut-off placement all read it. The interactive push now
holds clamps at their square clearance keep-out (the layout check's
shape) instead of the part spacing, so parts no longer tuck into its
corners; the clamped fill characterization digests are re-pinned after
checking the new layouts validate.
Persisted as an optional `clearance` on the .nest clamp rail and the
machine clamp settings; edited in Nest > Clamps and the machine's
Clamps tab.

A tabbed cutout's slug stays attached while the sheet is cut, but nesting
saw a closed hole and could place parts inside it. Nesting and layout paths
now read material through NestingMaterial.ForNesting, which drops closed
contours with tab spans so the slug counts as part. That covers part
outlines and collision lines, the cutout router, fill expansion, best-fit,
NestLayoutCheck and the GPU bitmaps. Area, overlap diagnostics and cutting
keep the hole, and programs without tabs read exactly as before.

Grows part-to-part spacing of a selected group with the work area and
non-selected parts as hard boundaries. Doubling + bisection search over
the target spacing; Gauss-Seidel straight-line relaxation with anchor
mover policy (later-index selected part moves, first selection never).
Overlapping input is separated along penetration MTVs instead of being
rejected. Cancel/failure never mutates part positions. Clearance gains
BoundaryDistance for ring-pair gaps (part-in-cutout legality).
