The best-fit filter rejected pairs over a 5:1 aspect (or the plate's)
unless 75% utilized. A long part such as U251-DET3 (27.4 x 3.5, aspect
7.7) is past that alone, so its tightest interlocked pairs (5.1:1) were
all dropped even though they are less elongated than the part itself.
On the 60 x 120 sheet that cost 12 parts: 66 placed instead of 78.
The limit now widens to the part's own bounding-box aspect, so
side-by-side pairs survive while end-to-end pairs of compact parts are
still rejected.
The learned-angle characterization nests re-captured: their 46 x 3 bar
now nests as an interlocked pair, which left the Fill nest identical to
a full sweep, so the notched quantity drops from 6 to 4 to keep the
fixture sensitive to learned angles.

Thin-framed, hollow, or concave parts (e.g. SULLYS-035's frame) have
inherently low part-to-bbox utilization yet nest tightly, so the 30%
MinUtilization floor wrongly dropped every candidate for them. Pair
quality is judged by the rotated pair bounding-box area the results
are already sorted on; utilization now only ever serves as the
high-aspect exception (UtilizationOverride), never as a rejection.
Adds a hollow-frame helper plus regression tests that kept pairs
exist with low utilization and results stay sorted by pair area.
Repo-wide sweep with the pinned CSharpier 1.3.0 tool. Whitespace and
line-wrapping only; OpenNest.Engine.Tests (109) and OpenNest.IO.Tests
pass after reformat, full solution builds 0 errors.
Added .csharpierignore so csproj/config XML keeps its existing layout
(CSharpier's XML wrapping churns attributes with zero benefit).
Formatting is now enforceable: dotnet csharpier check . passes.
The filter only checked ShortestSide against the plate's short dimension,
allowing results where the long side far exceeded the plate length.

High-utilization pairs (>=75%) are no longer discarded for exceeding
the aspect ratio limit, since the material isn't being wasted.
