Check Overlaps dismissed a tiny clamp by the part's coarse material bounds
before the fine tolerance-free test ran, but that material is inscribed at
the 0.001 chord tolerance: real material in the sliver beyond a convex arc
(a short arc cap, a rotated crescent) lay outside those bounds and the clamp
read as clear. For clamps below the tolerance the bounds are widened by the
chord tolerance before rejecting.

Circumscribing every arc holds all material along convex arcs but drops a
sliver along concave ones (a notch), so a tiny clamp 6e-7 into the material
beside a notch read as clear. Tiny-clamp checks now test the part flattened
both ways (all arcs inscribed, all arcs circumscribed): along any arc one of
the two holds the real material, so together they find every real overlap.
PM 407f5eb7-329f-41e4-947e-64ad52aa4034 (delta review s6-delta2-review.md)
Fine inscribed flattening still let a native arc cut 6.2e-7 into a 1e-5
clamp unseen: less than one chord's sag, so the layout check, interactive
fill and Check Overlaps all called it clear. Tiny-clamp checks now
circumscribe perimeter arcs and inscribe cutout arcs (lines stay exact), so
the polygons hold every bit of real material. Any real overlap is reported;
the cost is a possible report within the tolerance of an arc, never a false
clear. The analyzer builds the same polygons instead of a second
OverlapMaterial read.
PM 407f5eb7-329f-41e4-947e-64ad52aa4034 (delta review s6-delta-review.md)
The tolerance-free rectangle test was fed approximated material: the layout
check passed it the 1e-4-grid validation outline (a strip of real material
that wholly contains a 1e-5 clamp could vanish), and interactive fill and
the overlap check passed 0.001 inscribed arc chords (a clamp inside a disk
but outside its chords read as clear). All three now flatten the native
contours at a quarter of the clamp's smaller side, lines kept exact, so the
arc-chord sliver can never hold the clamp. Ordinary clamps are unchanged.
PM 407f5eb7-329f-41e4-947e-64ad52aa4034
Collision.Check finds no overlap region for a clamp smaller than its
tolerance, so Check Overlaps reported a part covering a 1e-5 clamp as clear.
Clamps below 0.001 are judged with KeepOutOverlap and reported as a finding
whose fragment is the whole clamp rectangle; flush and clear parts stay clear.

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).

1b422ef read absolute-mode hole subprograms by converting an
incremental-mode copy of every clean program. Rebuilding absolute
endpoints from incremental deltas is not exact: after a rapid at
1e12 a 1x10 rectangle moved by about 2.4e-5 and a real 2e-5 overlap
was reported clear, in the overlap overlay and pre-post verification
as well as Plan Cutting.
Convert programs directly again, which reads absolute coordinates
exactly, and refuse an absolute-mode subprogram as an incomplete
check instead: the converter adds a call's frame offset to
incremental moves only, so it would read such a hole at its frame
origin. OpenNest writes hole subprograms in incremental mode. The
null-list and unknown-instruction refusals from 1b422ef stay, and
CopyForGeometry is private to the planner again.
PlateOverlapAnalyzer converted clean programs directly with
ConvertProgram.ToGeometry, which adds call offsets only to
incremental moves, so holes in absolute-mode subprograms were read at
their frame origin. A square with two absolute holes reported
"Native material contours cross or touch", and the Plan Cutting
overlap gate blocked it while the incremental twin passed. Convert an
owned incremental-mode copy instead (PreparedContours.CopyForGeometry,
now internal, the same normalization the cutting planner uses).
The analyzer also threw on a program whose Codes list was null and
cast or cloned instructions it does not know. It now refuses a
missing list and anything other than the exact built-in instruction
types as an incomplete check, before any copy or conversion runs.
Pre-post verification and the plate overlap overlay share this path.
PlateOverlapAnalyzer.Capture(parts, OverlapMaterialCache) reuses each clean
program's converted entities and prepared material across requests, and
Analyze(snapshot, previous) reuses pair results whose two parts kept the
same source, exact pose and relative order, renumbering them. A recheck
after moving one part only clips that part's neighbors again.
On 501 real PEP plates: full check median 1 ms / max 6.4 s; incremental
recheck after one move median 0.1 ms / max 38 ms. Incremental results
matched uncached full analysis exactly across 2505 edits.
