SyncClampZones returned early when the empty target already held exactly the
solved reduced zones, and otherwise preferred the target's own rail over the
stock's, so a removal committed onto such a sheet kept no rail, removed ids
or time. The stock's rail now wins, and the rail/removal state is reconciled
even when the zones themselves need no replacement.

Last-resort removal ran on any clamped stock, but only a rail-following
plate can record which clamp to pull and its removal time: an explicit-zone
target lost the instruction entirely. NestPlateStock now carries the rail its
zones were resolved from (NestStockBuilder, DrawingJobMapper.FromPlate);
recovery removes clamps only from rail-backed stock, and commit falls back to
the stock's rail when the target plate has none. Runs are now ordered by
distance from the origin along the edge, not by zone list order.

Slice 3b task 2 (D8/C10-C12). New OpenNest.Engine.Jobs.ClampRemovalRecovery:
after the ordinary clamped solve leaves demand unmet, probes (via the
caller's own selected engine, quantity one, one fresh empty sheet)
whether each unplaced part fits on any offered stock with every clamp
in place; only a part that fits nowhere is 'blocked' (C10). For a
blocked part, searches ascending run size then ascending start index
over each stock's own clamp zones (already rail-position order) for
the smallest contiguous run whose removal lets it fit alone - fewest
clamps first, nearest the origin on ties (C11). Builds reduced-clamp
stock variants for every resolved (part, stock), re-solves the whole
residual demand (so freed space can also take other unmet parts, C12)
with original stock carried forward minus phase 1's usage (a finite
pool is never offered both full and reduced, so it is never double
counted) and merges the result back: phase 2 placements get fresh
instance indices continuing from phase 1's, plates are reindexed, and
fulfillment/stock usage are recomputed. Returns null (no-op) whenever
the job is already complete, no stock has any clamp, no remaining
part is genuinely blocked, or even every clamp removed cannot fit a
blocked part - so an ordinary job is bit-identical to Slice 3 (C10's
last sentence).
NestPipeline.RunCore calls it once, right after the main solve, only
on the non-cutout-preview path; a recovery replaces 'raw' and expands
'job' (adding exactly the reduced-clamp variants used) before the
existing validation/cost/grouping/binding code runs unchanged.
NestPipelineCommit.SyncClampZones now derives which rail clamps (if
any) are missing from a committed sheet's solved zones and, when the
rail recreates exactly that reduced set, reattaches the rail with
Plate.SetClampRail(rail, removedClamps) - so a recovered sheet keeps
following the rail, minus its removal, through later resizes (C13),
using Slice 3b task 1's plumbing.
Tests: 7 new (OpenNest.Engine.Tests/Jobs/ClampRemovalRecoveryTests.cs,
ClampRemovalCommitTests.cs) covering the minimal-removal + nearest-
origin tie-break, freed space taking other residual demand (C12), a
no-op on an already-complete job, no-op with no clamps offered, a
part blocked only by stock exhaustion never being treated as clamp-
blocked, a part unfit even clamp-free staying unplaced, and the full
Auto-Nest-to-commit path keeping Plate.RemovedClamps/ClampRail/
ClampRemovalMinutes correct through a resize. Mutation checks
(disabling the FitsAnywhere gate; reversing the ascending-start tie-
break) turn the relevant assertions red, confirming real coverage.

When a commit installed solved explicit zones on a plate that followed
a different nest clamp rail (an extra sheet created from the defaults),
the plate kept the rail, so a later Size or Quadrant assignment (Edit
Plate assigns Size even when unchanged) or a stock-option build swapped
the validated zones for the rail's clamps. Install solved zones as
explicit zones and keep the rail only when it recreates them.
Review finding 1, Project Memory 4e5f566d-626e-4db5-9352-14ddd9051181.
ApplyToEmptyPlates copied size, spacing, quadrant and quantity from the
solved stock but not its clamp zones, so a sheet the commit created had
no keep-outs although its parts were validated against them, and a
reused plate could keep zones the layout was not solved with.
Map the stock's placement-frame zones back to plate coordinates on every
committed plate; zones already equal in the placement frame are left
untouched so an unchanged plate raises no change events.
