After the main fill, detect if the last column/row is an "oddball"
with fewer parts than the main grid. If so, remove those parts and
re-fill the remainder strip independently using all strategies
(linear, rect best-fit, pairs). Improves 30→32 parts on the test
case (96x48 plate with 30x7.5 interlocking parts).

Documents both issues found (narrow pair selection, incomplete pattern tiling)
and their fixes with before/after results.

The engine gets 7 parts where manual nesting gets 9, all at the same
rotation. The fix is trying more rotations across all fill strategies.

MCP fill_remnants gets 7 parts vs UI Ctrl+F gets 9 in the same strip.
Documents root cause analysis and files to investigate.

Replace bounding-box push with analytical polygon directional-distance
so parts nestle together based on actual cut geometry.
