Plate.ClampZones are stored relative to the sheet's lower-left corner,
but cut-off positions, motions and part poses use the signed quadrant
frame. The automatic cutoff planner, manual cut-off contacts, clamp
rapid warnings and whole-plate overlap capture compared the two
directly, so in quadrants 2-4 a cut or rapid through a real rail clamp
was neither avoided nor warned about.
Add ClampZoneFrame.ToPlacement, which maps live zones into the
placement frame exactly like the sheet and engine stock, and use it in
every Slice 5 consumer. It rejects missing or malformed zones (bounds
stay publicly mutable); pre-post verification reports those as an
incomplete clamp check instead of a clear result. Overlap freshness now
treats a size or quadrant change as moving the zones.
Tests use real ClampRail zones in all quadrants; the hand-signed
quadrant fixtures that hid the defect are converted to rails.

Nests converted from another CAM system carry its seam overcut inside the
clean contour: the last cut runs on past the contour's own start along its
first cut, then a straight jog returns to the start. The ring then touches
itself at its seam, so neither the cutting planner nor the overlap analyzer
could certify it and the whole plate refused.
SeamOvercut recognizes exactly that shape (same line, or same circle and
direction) and trims it from an owned copy; the retraced tail encloses no
area, so material is unchanged and the drawing is never edited. Any other
self-contact still refuses. Arcs of one circle whose centers were each derived
from their own endpoints agree only within Epsilon, so their spans are now
compared at the seam tolerance: shared spans still refuse as overlap, while
arcs that only meet at a joint or lie apart no longer do.
Plates with parts nested in other parts' cutouts then failed to route, since
the host is cut last and every straight approach from the middle of a crowded
cutout crosses a finished neighbour. CuttingNestedOrder tours each host's
inner parts as one run ending beside the host's own contours, hosts follow
the parts beside them, and learned rules still win. Outside entries are
ordered by clear sight lines to the next cut, the look-ahead toward a host is
its nearest contour point rather than its centre, a cutout containing the
arrival point is routed from that point, and a pass that teaches an order
rule ends the round instead of repeating the blocked approach.
Tests: SeamOvercutTests and CuttingNestedOrderTests; the cutting-planning,
diagnostics and overlap tests in OpenNest.Tests pass (1023 passed, 6 skipped).

Nest windows now rerun the overlap check once the layout has been
unchanged for 0.5 s, instead of leaving 'Overlaps: not checked'. Edits
show 'Overlaps: check pending...'; drags are caught by the paint-time
pose stamp, collection edits by their events. The check waits while a
mouse button, modal dialog or fill is active, supersedes a running check
when the layout moves again, and does not retry a canceled or failed
layout until it changes. Rechecks use the incremental analyzer, so only
the moved parts' neighbors are recomputed.
Automatic results update only the canvas label (the status bar keeps the
last command's message) and keep Display > Off. Check Active Plate still
runs immediately. InvalidateOverlapCheck now also drops cached material.
