Server nests in Database mode get a read-only status bar label comparing their
open MaterialLedger holds with the sheets they cut, e.g. "Ledger: 2 of 4 held,
2 short". Nothing writes to the ledger and nothing waits on it.
- MaterialLedgerClient.GetHoldsAsync reads GET /api/stock/holds?openNestNestId=
with the closed LedgerHoldsResult set; unknown status strings are kept. The
request plumbing is shared with GetStockAsync.
- LedgerHoldSummary (OpenNest.Data) counts Proposed/Approved/Released/
AwaitingCloseout holds against the plate quantities, skipping the trailing
empty plate as /sheets does.
- NestHoldStatus refreshes on server open, after save, after storage or
Options changes and on label click; it never polls. The tooltip lists holds
in nest units. File-mode, unsaved and ledger-less nests show nothing.
- Setting Has Been Cut in Nest Info with holds still open shows a non-modal
note linking to {ledgerUrl}/Nests/{id}. Posting is not gated.

Auto Nest on MaterialLedger stock now records which inventory item each
physical sheet uses, so ML can hold exactly those items instead of matching
by size.
- Core: Plate.StockItemCodes (entry i = sheet i of Quantity; empty = uncoded).
Core invalidates it: a resize clears it (turning the sheet keeps it), a lower
Quantity truncates it, a nest material/grade/thickness change clears every
plate's, ClearAll clears it and new plates never copy it.
- Desktop Auto Nest: after a kept proposal is committed, LedgerStockAssignment
deals each ledger row's codes to its plates in Nest.Plates order (bundles
repeat their code; clamp-removal variants use their base row). Rejected,
discarded or cancelled proposals never reach it. NestPipelineCommit.PairWithStock
pairs committed plates with their solved stock; the engine stays ledger-free.
- Plate list tooltip: "Stock: CODE (location)"; locations are display-only.
- nest.json: optional plate stockItemCodes, omitted when empty, read leniently.
- /api/nests/{id}/sheets: new plates[] { index, width, length, quantity,
stockItemCodes }; sheets[] unchanged.

Auto Nest's Stock Options gets a Load from ledger button that reads the nest
material's free sheets and drops from MaterialLedger's API-key-protected
GET /api/stock/opennest. Ledger rows are request-local: the engine sees them as
ordinary NestPlateStock rows with ledger:{n} ids and finite quantities, and they
are never written to Nest.PlateOptions.
- OpenNest.Data/MaterialLedger: settings file, read-only client (X-Api-Key,
5 s timeout, closed LedgerStockResult set) and LedgerStockMapper (bundles and
sheets one row each, same-size drops grouped with ordered item codes, unknown
shapes and too-small items skipped, inch/mm conversion).
- Options: MaterialLedger URL and API key (DPAPI, CurrentUser) with Test.
- Auto Nest grid: Use, Qty and Source columns for every row; PlateOption gains
request-local Quantity and Id, which NestStockBuilder passes to the engine.
Ledger rows score by area; hand-typed costs stay saved.

With Nest after release ticked, Make Nests now minimizes the Drawing
Sets window and nests each group's built nest in its own main-window
tab, before it is saved, with Auto Nest's progress window and live plan
strip, one nest at a time in plan order. Stop there (or switching tabs)
stops the whole release, as the panel's Stop does; the layout is kept
by the same rules as the headless renest, without the Keep review.
After upload each tab is bound to its saved record instead of a second
tab opening; a tab whose nest was not saved is closed. The main window
stays in front, and the Drawing Sets window flashes its taskbar button
when a group failed or was refused or the release was not recorded.
NestRenest splits into CreateRequest and Keep so the solve runs off the
UI thread and the commit on it; AutoNestCommand's solve-with-progress
step is shared rather than copied.

The modal release dialog is replaced by ReleasePanel, docked beside the
Library and Sets tabs and shared by both. A double-click or Enter adds a
set at one kit or a library drawing on its own at the entered quantity;
adding one already listed adds to its quantity. Lines are edited in
place with a remove button, and the nests it will make preview live.
Each group now merges into a matching Draft nest by default: the only
one, or the most recently saved of several (chosen in the row); a draft
open in a tab blocks Make Nests instead of making a parallel nest.
Nest after release is remembered per user. Edit Set and Edit Drawing
move to their buttons and right-click menus.
The Drawing Sets window is now an unowned top-level window with its own
taskbar entry and remembered bounds, closed with the main window; a
release not yet made survives closing it, and Make Nests brings the
main window forward. ReleaseSetForm remains as a thin dialog host for
releasing from Nest > Add from Drawing Library.

Full circles now take InternalLeadIn/InternalLeadOut like every other
cutout; the ArcCircle lead settings and the cutting panel's Arc / Circle
tab are removed. Circle-specific geometry handling (radius clamp, angle
rounding, pierce zone) is unchanged.
Older nest files and desktop settings still load: their arcCircleLeadIn/
arcCircleLeadOut keys are ignored and no longer written, so re-planned
circles take the internal leads. Saved part programs are untouched.

The drawing library browser becomes DrawingLibraryView, a control. The Drawing
Sets window hosts it as its Library tab beside Sets and Releases, and File >
Drawing Library opens the window on it. A library drawing's Releases item
switches to the Releases tab filtered to it. Nest > Add from Drawing Library
stays a dialog, now a thin wrapper around the same view.

Drawing Sets > More > Import BOM reads a BOM and its drawing folder,
matches each drawing to the library by its D4 identity and geometry
(reuse, new revision, or new drawing) and opens the set editor with a
new set prefilled with the BOM quantities. Reading only queries the
library; Create Set lists the uploads and revisions and asks before
storing them, and the set is stored only by the editor's Save.
Parts with no material or thickness still import and are flagged for
Edit Drawing. DrawingPackage.GeometryKey compares geometry independent
of the fresh entity ids each DXF import assigns. In Database mode File >
Import BOM opens this flow instead of creating nests directly; File mode
is unchanged.

The set browser's six equal buttons become New Set..., Edit..., More and a
bold Make Nests.... Archive/Restore, History... and Releases... move into a
menu that the More button drops down and that is also the set list's
right-click menu (menu key and Shift+F10 open it; right-click selects the

&Archive/&Restore, &History, Re&leases. Enabled rules are unchanged; More is
enabled while any of its items is. The picker hides More and has no menu.

The member grid shows one Material column (name, grade, thickness and
units, such as "Steel A36 0.25 in"), Qty and Note; Cut type appears only
when the set mixes cut types. Move Up/Down are gone: member order only
breaks ties (materials are grouped and sorted on release, nests list
drawings by name), and the stored order is kept as it was. The dialog
opens at 1040 px instead of 1264, with the library pane unchanged and
still resizable.

The drawing sets window now has two tabs. Releases hosts the release list
(paging, nests, Undo Release, New Release) as a SetReleasesView control that
replaces SetReleasesForm. File > Releases stays as a shortcut that opens the
window on that tab. A set's Releases (Sets tab) and a library drawing's
Releases (Drawing Library) open the tab filtered to it, with the filter shown
above the list and Clear Filter to list every release. Releases re-reads its
page whenever the tab is shown again, so a release made on Sets appears.
The set editor gets History... for a saved set; the Sets tab keeps its
History button until the browser's buttons are rearranged.

The release dialog now reads as a sentence ("Release set 'X' ×N") and
previews what Make Nests will do ("Creates 2 nests: ..."), with refused
materials counted and Fix Drawings reachable without selecting them.
An Options toggle holds the Release ticks, the Nest column and Include
archived drawings; collapsed, an option stays shown while it differs
from its default, and the Nest column shows whenever a Draft nest could
be merged into. Defaults, release, undo and retry are unchanged. The
Status column wraps so refusals are not cut off, and the retry status
reads "... Try Again records it; the nests are not made again."

Builds on the library's Edit Drawing (details as a new revision):
- warns before saving details that would duplicate another active library
drawing (D4), naming them; a failed lookup also asks;
- File > Drawing Library, a nest-less mode of the library browser that lists
every active drawing and edits on double-click;
- the set editor's member grid (double-click, right-click, button);
- the release dialog: Fix Drawings on a group refused for missing material or
thickness or duplicate names, so those refusals are no longer a dead end.

Edit Settings becomes Edit Drawing: name, customer, material, grade,
thickness and cut type are editable beside the nesting settings and
notes. Units stay read-only. The save is a metadata revision with the
same package, so nests keep the revision they hold, and the release
refusal for drawings without material or thickness now has a fix.
The assigned machine now drives the support grid, lead-ins and cut-offs, so
it should be visible without opening a menu. The status bar shows
"Machine: <name>" beside the material; left- or right-clicking it lists the
machines (the same list as Nest > Machine) above the label.

The release dialog's Add a set box was a pure type-ahead: it queried the
server only after typing paused, so opening it, or clicking its arrow with
nothing typed, showed an empty list. From Drawing Sets > Release that was
easy to miss, but New Release starts with nothing listed, and an empty
dropdown there reads as a missing server connection. The dialog now reads
the first active sets by name when it is shown, and again when the list is
opened while still empty, without dropping the list open on its own; typing
narrows it as before.

Releases could only be reached through one set or one library drawing, so
seeing what the shop released lately meant knowing which set to open first.
File > Releases shows every release on the server, newest first, naming what
each one had ("Kit A ×2, Kit B; Bracket ×4") in place of the per-set
revision and kits, with the same nest list and Undo Release. New Release
opens the release dialog empty, so a release can start from the list rather
than from a set; the plan builder now accepts no lines as an empty plan,
and the dialog's Release button stays disabled until a group is listed.
The list re-reads from the newest page once the dialog records a release.

Operators had to know that 16 ga is 0.0598 to enter a thickness. The Nest

(26-3 ga) and plate fractions (1/16"-2") with their decimals, and read a
typed gauge ("16ga", "#16"), any fraction ("3/32", "1-1/4") or a decimal.

After adding library drawings the operator had to close the dialog to see what
the nest now needed, and fixing a quantity meant leaving it for Edit Drawing
one part at a time. The new In This Nest tab lists the nest's drawings (cutoffs
excluded) with their library revision and required, nested and remaining
quantities, refreshes after each add, and edits Required in place.
An edit applies to the nest immediately, like an add, and the nest window
refreshes its drawing list when the dialog closes. Out-of-range values are
refused both when the cell is validated and when they are applied, because
DataGridView only validates on leaving the cell and EndEdit commits without it.

The Release dialog lists sets and drawings in one grid (with a type
column; Kits / Qty is a set's kits or a drawing's quantity, up to
100,000). Add Drawings... browses the library as the set editor's pane
does and stays open for several adds; listed drawings are greyed and
skipped, archived ones refused. The Drawings tab gains Release... (when
opened from a nest) to start a release from one drawing, and
Releases... so a release of drawings alone can still be found and
undone, since it belongs to no set's history.
docs/nest-storage.md describes the desktop flow, the `drawings` wire
field, null item setId, the drawingId query/probe and schema v11.

Plates with staged automatic scrap cut-offs could not be planned: P260810-01
plate 1 ran out of budget even at 10x effort, while the same plate plans
Ready in 3.6k expansions without the lines. A cut-off was one fixed program
cut whole before every part its line passes through, which dragged the tour
to the middle of the sheet and left the head at the far edge of the line;
and cutting every line first (the rejected alternative) weakens the sheet
and breaks the containment operators rely on when they fast-forward a
changed program.
A cut-off stays one definition, but Plate.RegenerateCutOffs now makes one
part per trimmed segment, each with its own place in the cut sequence.
CutOffSegments gives each segment the span of the nominal line it stands
for (end of the segment before it to start of the one after), and the
dependency rules of the planner and Part Sequencing use that span, so a
segment precedes only the parts beside it. The free-order search plans the
parts as if the segments were not there, so adding lines no longer changes
a plate's route, then CutOffInsertion slides each segment into the latest
gap before its first part where the rapid into its pierce and the rapid
from its end cross nothing cut before; only when one fits nowhere is the
plate searched with the segments among the parts. The search looks through
segments wherever they sit (entries face the next part, hole routes rank
from the pre-segment position, rapids are still checked from the segment's
end), so an applied plan replanned with the order kept replays Ready.
Segments saved out of consecutive order are recorded per segment in the
.nest file (`segments`); older readers load them consecutively.
P260810-01 plate 1 now plans Ready in 3639 expansions with every check
passing; rapid travel 1836 against 1547 without the lines. Plates without
cut-offs keep their PlanningCharacterizationTests digests, and the
problem-nest corpus has no plate below its baseline.

Releasing a set creates new nests or merges into draft ones, so tying the
set browser to the Drawing Library dialog (which needs an open nest) put it
behind a document it never uses. File > Drawing Sets... (Database mode)
now opens a standalone window with the set browser and Release, opening
released nests in their own tabs. The library dialog loses its Sets tab
but keeps Used in Sets and Add to Set on a drawing's menu.

The library browser showed only a grid and a notes box, so picking the right
part meant reading names and guessing at the shape, and the add controls sat in
a crowded row with the pager. The Drawings tab now splits into the list (with
its pager underneath) and a details pane: a geometry preview, the drawing's
name, customer, material, thickness, cutting and revision, its notes, and the
quantity with a prominent Add to Nest button.
The preview downloads the listed revision's package after the selection settles
for 150 ms, shares a request already loading that revision, and caches drawings
per revision for the dialog's lifetime. It colors the drawing from the record's
settings without advancing the nest's part palette. It is best-effort: any
failure shows "Preview unavailable" and the dialog keeps working, and the UI
update is marshalled explicitly because an STA thread without a WinForms
synchronization context resumes the await on the thread pool.

A release now ends in nests ready to cut rather than empty drafts, and a
merge no longer leaves the draft it cleared waiting for someone to run Auto
Nest. "Nest after release" (on by default) runs Auto Nest headless on every
released group, new or merged, before anything is uploaded.
NestRenest removes every plate and nests each drawing's required quantity
onto sheets from the nest's plate defaults and plate-size options. It keeps
a layout only when it is valid and keepable, so an invalid result never
reaches the server; the nest is saved without sheets and the operator is
told to run Auto Nest. Unplaced copies stay as remaining quantity, and the
status column lists sheets, utilization and what did not fit. A new Nesting
progress stage reports each group, and cancelling while nesting saves
nothing.

The release dialog now lists the sets to release instead of one set with a
multiplier. More are added by typing a name (the matching active sets fill
the list as you type) and each set has its own kit count. Its groups span
all the sets, and each group can make a new Draft nest or merge into a Draft
nest of the same material, grade and thickness, listed with its sheet count.
The status column says that a merge discards the draft's layout and that
Undo Release restores it.
A draft open in a tab of this desktop is refused, because nest tabs do not
track unsaved edits and the merge would leave them behind. The main window
tells the dialog which server nests are open.
The release history shows what each release did to each nest (created, or
merged from one revision to another, and what undo did) and gains Undo
Release. When nests changed after the release, it names them and offers to
undo the others, leaving those as they are.

A release can now cover several sets, each with its own kit count, so parts
from different kits share sheets. It can also merge into an existing draft
nest instead of always creating one. Schema v9 replaces the single-set
release tables: releases, their set lines, their nests (created or merged,
with the nest revision before and after) and the drawing quantities each set
added to each nest, so a kit stays traceable once kits share a nest. The v8
migration turns each existing release into one set line with created nests.
Undo runs on the server in one transaction: created nests are soft-deleted
and merged nests restored to their pre-merge revision, but only while each
still holds what the release wrote. Otherwise nothing changes and the
changed nests are listed, so the operator can skip them. A nest restored to
that revision counts as unchanged, which lets releases sharing a nest be
undone newest first.
The old /api/sets/{id}/releases and /api/nests/{id}/release routes are
replaced by /api/releases; no tagged desktop used them. The desktop still
releases one set at a time until the release dialog is reworked.

Adding drawings to a set meant opening the library dialog, then the set
editor, then a second copy of the library in pick mode, then backing out
again. The set editor now has the library as its left pane (unfiltered,
searchable, sortable, paged): select drawings and Add to Set, double-click
or press Enter. Members already in the set are greyed. The library
dialog's pick mode had no other caller and is removed.

Nest records gain a materialGrade field (server schema v8, blank for existing
rows) that is searched, sorted and versioned like the other metadata. The
Nest Info dialog gets a grade picker listing the machine configs' grades for
the chosen material; density survives only an unchanged name and grade. A
blank recorded grade keeps the archive's grade while the name matches, so
records saved before v8 do not lose it on open. Saved Nests shows a Grade column.

Operators often build a nest first and only then want it kept as a
reusable kit. The drawing list's new "Add Library Drawings to Set..."
takes every drawing copied from this server's library, sums copies of
one library drawing, and opens the set editor on a chosen or new set
for review and Save. Unlinked, other-server and zero-quantity drawings
are named as skipped instead of silently dropped.
Members the set already lists keep the set's quantity: a nest released
from a set carries its kit multiplier, so copying its quantities back
would scale the kit on every round trip. Members are added at the
library's latest revision (S1), with a note when the nest holds an
older one or the drawing is archived.

A set is only useful on the floor once it becomes nests. Release on the
Sets tab previews one row per material group with a kit multiplier, an
archived-drawing toggle and a tick per group, then builds each ticked
group's nest as File > New would, in the group's units, uploads it as a
Draft, opens it in its own tab bound to the server record and records the
release. Every group's outcome stays on screen, and a release whose
nests exist but whose record failed can be recorded again.
Releases shows each release's nests and how far they have got ("2 of 3
cut"), and Nest Info names the release a nest came from, so a kit run can
be followed across its nests. Plate defaults convert between inches and
millimeters so a group drawn in other units still gets sensible plates.

Operators need to build kits from library drawings before they can be
released. The Drawing Library dialog gains a Sets tab beside Drawings,
so sets live where their drawings are browsed: list, search, archive,
restore, history, and an editor whose Add Drawings reuses the library in
a multi-select pick mode. The Drawings tab's menu shows which sets use a
drawing and adds it to a chosen or new set.
DrawingSetEditSession keeps a new set's id across a save whose reply was
lost, so a retry adopts the stored set instead of creating it twice, and
guards existing-set saves with the revision they were read at.

Nests released from drawing sets need a state before Quote: created but not
yet nested or checked. Draft is appended to NestStatus (value 3) because the
server still accepts integer statuses from existing callers, so existing
numbers must not shift; NestStatuses.WorkflowOrder puts it first wherever the
operator picks a status.
Older desktops read Draft as Quote (the documented unknown-status fallback),
and an older server refuses "draft", so the server must be upgraded before
desktops that can set it.

Stopping a fill only requests cancellation; its worker keeps reading
Plate.Parts until it returns. The progress window is modeless, so a
click or key on the plate view in that window (clone placement, Delete,
arrow nudges, drops) changed the part list mid-enumeration and threw
"Collection was modified" in PlateFillService.TryAddClear.
PlateView now refuses editing input while IsFillInProgress, the same
way it does during an inspection. Panning and zooming stay live.

The nest name box was always read-only, so a nest could only be renamed
by Save As, which leaves the old copy behind. In Database mode Nest Info
now edits the name (uploaded with the next Save), as does the saved-nest
browser's Nest Information (saved immediately). File mode keeps it
read-only because the file name is the nest name. Renaming to a name
another active nest already has asks first, and declining reopens the
dialog with the edits kept; a duplicate accepted there is not asked about
again by the nest's first Save.

File > New restarted its counter every day while names only carry the
year, so the first nest of each day was always N26-223, and each PC kept
its own counter. In Database mode the nest server now hands out the
year's next number (POST /api/nest-names/next, nest_sequences table,
schema v6), staying above every stored generated name so offline or
pre-existing names are never reissued. The per-PC counter remains the
fallback when the server is unreachable or older, resets per year, and
is raised past each server allocation.

Auto Nest no longer draws parts on the plate view before they are kept:
its result is a set of sheets, possibly of several sizes, not parts on the
current plate. Ghost parts stay with interactive Fill and remnant tools.
- NestJobStage.PlanImproved carries an engine's best whole-job plan so far;
Irregular reports one whenever a variant or the tail re-plan beats it.
- NestPipeline adds PlanSheets: the plan on detached drawings built from
the job geometry (with the caller's names and colors), so previews never
touch caller drawings or quantities.
- SheetStripControl draws every sheet side by side at one scale, repeats
once with their count, captioned with size, parts and utilization.
- The progress window shows "Best plan so far"; a review window shows the
final sheets, totals, cost summary and unplaced parts before commit.

Staged cut-offs were appended after every part, so a kept order (the
"Keep the current part order" option, or the fallback after a free
search runs out of budget) always conflicted with any cut-off crossing
a part. PlateSequencing.PlaceCutOffs moves each new cut-off to just
before the first part it crosses, separators last, without moving
anything else; the panel applies it after staging.
The free search also learned "cut the cut-off first" only after a full
stall, re-planning the many-holed parts before it. A cut-off is a fixed
program that never gets harder to cut earlier, so a crossing approach
into a non-separating cut-off now teaches that rule at once. On the
reported 35-part plate this drops the plan from 23,930 expansions (over
the 20,000 budget) to 15,605.

A hole can now be declared a tabbed cutout in the CAD Converter: pick a
circle or any edge of a closed hole, set the tab count and width, and drag
the tabs around the hole. The definition persists on the drawing and in the
nest file, and stays editable from the source entities.
The builder replaces the hole with open cut pieces and uncut spans on a new
Tab layer. Tabs are material, so area, nesting and overlap checks still see
a closed hole, but they are never cut. Plan Cutting and Assign Lead-ins cut
each piece from the slug with the internal lead-in and no lead-out. A lead
that would reach back over a tab is mirrored, and an arc lead onto an arc
pierces straight in. Planning accounts for each span between tabs and runs
the open-cut proof, so its own tabbed cutouts certify; tabs followed by a
lead-out are still refused. Pre-post review flags programs that still
contain tab motions.

Schema v5 stores each distinct drawing package once in drawing_packages,
keyed by SHA-256; revisions point at it, so details, settings, archive and
restore revisions add no blob. The v4 drawing tables are replaced outright
(no production library existed); nest tables are untouched.
Nesting settings (cut first, priority, rotation constraints, color) become
structured record fields (DrawingLibraryRecord.Settings), returned on every
read, filterable by cutFirst, editable through the metadata endpoint and
applied by LibraryDrawingInsert. Canonical packages now leave every
record-owned field at its default, so renaming or changing settings never
changes the package hash. Saving a nest drawing to the library carries its
settings into the record.
The desktop library browser gains a Cut first column and an Edit Settings
dialog that saves notes and settings as a new revision with the same package.

warning instead of throwing out of the MainForm constructor.
- MachineSettings owns the clamp-settings and nest-defaults entry points
and their once-per-session warnings; BomImportForm calls it directly.
- NewNestFactory creates File > New nests and their daily names;
GetNestName is now a pure static the characterization test calls.
- MainWindowSettings restores/saves window placement and migrates the
legacy nest template.
- UpdaterStatus owns the updater and its status-bar item.

Moves the long workflow handlers into OpenNest/Forms/Commands:
AutoNestCommand (dialog, owned modal progress, solve, validation review,
commit and result notices), PostCommand (prepare, configure, verify,
save dialog, multi-file overwrite confirmation) and NestStorageController
(database open/save/save-as with reconciliation and storage errors).
MainForm keeps the busy guards, the nesting lockout and nestingCts, and
reacts to the controller's StateChanged to lock storage settings and
saving. The characterization test now flips the controller's IsSaving
instead of the removed databaseSaveInProgress field.

Pins the nest-name format and which operations each MainForm busy
guard counts, ahead of splitting and consolidating MainForm.

Lists every part in the cutting inspection panel's scope, including ones
with no finding, so an all-clear nest doesn't just look like an empty
grid. Selecting a part jumps to its first issue or zooms to it when clear.

Breakoffs are now picked by their joining line, default to the smaller side as scrap
(flippable), and cut that line between tabs on a new Break layer instead of slots.
Plan Cutting and Assign Lead-ins enter each cut from the scrap with the nest's internal
lead-in, or pierce on the line without one; checks treat break cuts as intentional open
cuts that are not material.
