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.

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.

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
row first). Access keys: &New Set, &Edit, M&ore, &Make Nests; the menu has
&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 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."

Wording only, no behavior change: "kit" becomes "set" or "Quantity",
the release button reads Make Nests... (Try Again after a failed
record), the releases list shows Material and Action, and the release
dialog's status lines are shorter. Help in docs/nest-storage.md follows.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
