Plates the engine built from stock (DrawingJobMapper.CreatePlate, used
by the public result materializer, the layout check and the placement
fillers) stored placement-frame zones, while live plates store them
relative to the sheet's lower-left corner. The same Plate.ClampZones
therefore meant two frames: the new clamp cut checks double-translated
materialized plates in quadrants 2-4, and interactive fill and push on
live plates read sheet-frame zones as placement coordinates, so they
could put parts on clamps there.
Plates built from stock now keep the stock's input zones (sheet frame,
no lossy translate-and-back), and the layout check and interactive
clamp obstacles map through ClampZoneFrame.ToPlacement, which
reproduces the stock's placement zones bit for bit, so engine
placements and validation are unchanged.

A clamp is an avoidance area, so a clamp that only partly reaches a
sheet (for example centered at 60.5" on a 60" sheet, or near the
origin) now keeps its whole 1.5" x 0.625" footprint instead of being
clipped to the sheet; clamps wholly beyond the sheet are still left
off. Job validation accepts a zone that hangs past the sheet edges and
still rejects one that does not reach the sheet at all. Both packing
lanes already block keep-outs extending past the bin; a hanging-clamp
solve through Rectangles, Irregular and Default keeps every part clear
of the whole inflated footprint.
User decision 2026-10-12, settling the plan's pending D2 question.
NestPlateStock takes an optional clamp-zone list, translated into the
placement frame exactly like WorkArea (quadrants 1-4) and detached from
caller boxes; empty input keeps stock bit-identical to before. Plate
mappings (DrawingJobMapper.FromPlate/CreatePlate, NestStockBuilder) map
zones across; materialized plates carry them for checking.
NestJobValidator rejects zones outside the sheet or duplicate ids.
RepeatedPlateGrouping and NestLayoutCheck treat clamp sets as stock
identity (C8), and the layout checker flags part material inside a zone
inflated by bottom-edge spacing with the shared spacing slack (C1/C5) -
no tolerance loosened.
