In strip mode, build candidate list entirely from pairs whose
ShortestSide fits the narrow work area dimension, sorted by
estimated tile count. Previously, the top-50 utilization cut
ran first, excluding good strip candidates like #183.

Remove NeedsSweep that triggered a 5-degree sweep (36 angles) when
the work area was narrower than the part. Position matters more than
angle for narrow areas, and the base angles (bestRotation + 90deg)
cover the useful cases. ForceFullSweep still works for training.

Add Settle method that repeatedly pushes parts left then down until
total movement falls below a threshold. Replaces manual single-pass
push calls for more consistent gap closure.

PairFiller now returns PairFillResult (Parts + BestFits) instead of
using a mutable BestFits property. Extracted EvaluateCandidates,
TryReduceWorkArea, and BuildTilingAngles for clarity. Simplified the
candidate loop by leveraging FillScore comparison semantics.
Removed FillRemainingStrip and all its helpers (FindPlacedEdge,
BuildRemainingStrip, BuildRotationSet, FindBestFill, TryFewerRows,
RemainderPatterns) from FillLinear — these were a major bottleneck in
strip nesting, running expensive fills on undersized remnant strips.
ShrinkFiller + RemnantFiller already handle space optimization, making
the remainder strip fill redundant.

StripNestEngine was passing progress directly to DefaultNestEngine.Fill
inside the ShrinkFiller loop, causing every per-angle/per-strategy report
to update the UI with overlapping layouts in the same work area.
Now inner fills are silent (null progress) and ShrinkFiller reports its
own progress when the best layout improves. IterativeShrinkFiller tracks
placed parts across items and includes them in reports. The trial box is
reported before the fill starts so the work area border updates immediately.

When the first pair candidate places more parts than needed (e.g., 17
when target is 10), sort by BoundingBox.Top, trim from the top until
exactly targetCount remain, and use that Top as the new work area
height. All subsequent candidates fill this smaller area, dramatically
reducing fill time.

When a target count is known, ShrinkFiller now uses FillBestFit (fast
rectangle packing) to estimate how many parts fit on the full area,
then scales the shrink axis proportionally to avoid an expensive
full-area fill. Falls back to full box if estimate is too aggressive.
Also shrinks to targetCount (not full count) to produce tighter boxes
when fewer parts are needed than the area can hold.
IterativeShrinkFiller passes NestItem.Quantity as the target count.

PairEvaluator already computes OptimalRotation via RotatingCalipers on
the pair's convex hull, but PairFiller.EvaluateCandidate only passed
hull edge angles to FillPattern. Now includes the optimal rotation
angle (and +90°) so tiling can use the mathematically tightest fit.

Introduces IterativeShrinkFiller.Fill, which composes RemnantFiller and
ShrinkFiller by wrapping the caller's fill function in a closure that tries
both ShrinkAxis.Height and ShrinkAxis.Width and picks the better FillScore.
Adds IterativeShrinkResult (Parts + Leftovers). Covers null/empty inputs and
single-item placement with three passing xUnit tests.

Kept using OpenNest.Api in Timing.cs and EditNestForm.cs alongside
remote's reorganized usings and namespace changes.

Extract magic numbers into named constants (MaxTopCandidates,
EarlyExitMinTried, etc.), extract candidate evaluation into
EvaluateCandidate method, and expose BestFits property so
PairsFillStrategy can reuse without redundant BestFitCache call.

The pattern bounding box already computes max(upper) - min(lower), so the
manual loop was redundant. Extract the N×N pair distance loop into a static
FindMaxPairDistance helper. Drop pre-cached edge arrays since GetEdges()
returns stored references with zero allocation.

Also fix missing using for FillHelpers in FillLinear and FillExtents,
and update callers (CompactorTests, PatternTileForm) for the new
Vector parameter.

Move known-good pruning check before sweep/ML to avoid wasted work,
extract ContainsAngle, NeedsSweep, AddSweepAngles, ApplyMlPrediction,
and BuildPrunedList so Build reads as a clear pipeline.

FillExtents vertical copy distance was not clamped, allowing rows to be
placed overlapping each other when slide calculations returned large
values. Clamp to pairHeight + partSpacing minimum, matching FillLinear.
Also add FillStrategyRegistry.SetEnabled() to restrict which strategies
run — useful for isolating individual strategies during troubleshooting.

Move fill algorithms to OpenNest.Engine.Fill namespace:
FillLinear, FillExtents, PairFiller, ShrinkFiller, Compactor,
RemnantFiller, RemnantFinder, FillScore, Pattern, PatternTiler,
PartBoundary, RotationAnalysis, AngleCandidateBuilder, and
AccumulatingProgress.
Move strategy layer to OpenNest.Engine.Strategies namespace:
IFillStrategy, FillContext, FillStrategyRegistry, FillHelpers,
and all built-in strategy implementations.
Add using directives to all consuming files across Engine, UI,
MCP, and Tests projects.
