# Plate Processor Implementation Plan

> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (if subagents available) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.

**Goal:** Build a plate-level orchestrator that sequences parts, assigns per-part lead-ins based on approach direction, and plans safe rapid paths between parts.

**Architecture:** Three-stage pipeline in OpenNest.Engine — IPartSequencer (cut order) → ContourCuttingStrategy (lead-ins) → IRapidPlanner (safe rapids) — wired by PlateProcessor. Non-destructive: results stored in PlateResult, original Part.Program untouched.

**Tech Stack:** .NET 8, xUnit (new test project), OpenNest.Core, OpenNest.Engine

**Spec:** `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-03-15-plate-processor-design.md`

## Chunk 1: Foundation

### Task 1: Create xUnit test project

**Files:**
- Create: `OpenNest.Engine.Tests/OpenNest.Engine.Tests.csproj`
- Modify: `OpenNest.sln`

- [ ] **Step 1: Create the test project**

```bash
cd C:/Users/AJ/Desktop/Projects/OpenNest
dotnet new xunit -n OpenNest.Engine.Tests --framework net8.0-windows
dotnet sln add OpenNest.Engine.Tests/OpenNest.Engine.Tests.csproj
dotnet add OpenNest.Engine.Tests/OpenNest.Engine.Tests.csproj reference OpenNest.Core/OpenNest.Core.csproj
dotnet add OpenNest.Engine.Tests/OpenNest.Engine.Tests.csproj reference OpenNest.Engine/OpenNest.Engine.csproj
```

- [ ] **Step 2: Verify the project builds**

Run: `dotnet build OpenNest.Engine.Tests/OpenNest.Engine.Tests.csproj`
Expected: Build succeeded

- [ ] **Step 3: Delete the generated UnitTest1.cs**

Delete `OpenNest.Engine.Tests/UnitTest1.cs` — we'll create our own test files.

- [ ] **Step 4: Commit**

```bash
git add OpenNest.Engine.Tests/ OpenNest.sln
git commit -m "chore: add OpenNest.Engine.Tests xUnit project"
```

---

### Task 2: Shared test helper

**Files:**
- Create: `OpenNest.Engine.Tests/TestHelpers.cs`

- [ ] **Step 1: Create TestHelpers.cs**

This helper is used by nearly every test in the plan. Creates simple 1x1 or 2x2 square parts at known positions.

```csharp
using OpenNest.CNC;
using OpenNest.Geometry;

namespace OpenNest.Engine.Tests;

internal static class TestHelpers
{
    public static Part MakePartAt(double x, double y, double size = 1)
    {
        var pgm = new Program();
        pgm.Codes.Add(new RapidMove(new Vector(0, 0)));
        pgm.Codes.Add(new LinearMove(new Vector(size, 0)));
        pgm.Codes.Add(new LinearMove(new Vector(size, size)));
        pgm.Codes.Add(new LinearMove(new Vector(0, size)));
        pgm.Codes.Add(new LinearMove(new Vector(0, 0)));
        var drawing = new Drawing("test", pgm);
        return new Part(drawing, new Vector(x, y));
    }

    public static Plate MakePlate(double width = 60, double length = 120, params Part[] parts)
    {
        var plate = new Plate(width, length);
        foreach (var p in parts)
            plate.Parts.Add(p);
        return plate;
    }
}
```

- [ ] **Step 2: Build to verify**

Run: `dotnet build OpenNest.Engine.Tests/OpenNest.Engine.Tests.csproj`
Expected: Build succeeded

- [ ] **Step 3: Commit**

```bash
git add OpenNest.Engine.Tests/TestHelpers.cs
git commit -m "chore: add shared test helpers for Engine tests"
```

---

### Task 3: CuttingResult struct

**Files:**
- Create: `OpenNest.Core/CNC/CuttingStrategy/CuttingResult.cs`
- Test: `OpenNest.Engine.Tests/CuttingResultTests.cs`

- [ ] **Step 1: Write the test**

```csharp
using OpenNest.CNC;
using OpenNest.CNC.CuttingStrategy;
using OpenNest.Geometry;
using Xunit;

namespace OpenNest.Engine.Tests;

public class CuttingResultTests
{
    [Fact]
    public void CuttingResult_StoresValues()
    {
        var pgm = new Program();
        pgm.Codes.Add(new RapidMove(new Vector(1, 2)));
        var point = new Vector(3, 4);

        var result = new CuttingResult { Program = pgm, LastCutPoint = point };

        Assert.Same(pgm, result.Program);
        Assert.Equal(3, result.LastCutPoint.X);
        Assert.Equal(4, result.LastCutPoint.Y);
    }
}
```

- [ ] **Step 2: Run test to verify it fails**

Run: `dotnet test OpenNest.Engine.Tests --filter CuttingResult_StoresValues -v n`
Expected: FAIL — `CuttingResult` type does not exist

- [ ] **Step 3: Create CuttingResult.cs**

```csharp
using OpenNest.CNC;
using OpenNest.Geometry;

namespace OpenNest.CNC.CuttingStrategy
{
    public readonly struct CuttingResult
    {
        public Program Program { get; init; }
        public Vector LastCutPoint { get; init; }
    }
}
```

- [ ] **Step 4: Run test to verify it passes**

Run: `dotnet test OpenNest.Engine.Tests --filter CuttingResult_StoresValues -v n`
Expected: PASS

- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**

```bash
git add OpenNest.Core/CNC/CuttingStrategy/CuttingResult.cs OpenNest.Engine.Tests/CuttingResultTests.cs
git commit -m "feat: add CuttingResult struct"
```

---

### Task 4: Part.HasManualLeadIns flag

**Files:**
- Modify: `OpenNest.Core/Part.cs`
- Test: `OpenNest.Engine.Tests/PartFlagTests.cs`

- [ ] **Step 1: Write the test**

```csharp
using OpenNest.CNC;
using OpenNest.Geometry;
using Xunit;

namespace OpenNest.Engine.Tests;

public class PartFlagTests
{
    [Fact]
    public void HasManualLeadIns_DefaultsFalse()
    {
        var pgm = new Program();
        pgm.Codes.Add(new RapidMove(new Vector(0, 0)));
        var drawing = new Drawing("test", pgm);
        var part = new Part(drawing);

        Assert.False(part.HasManualLeadIns);
    }

    [Fact]
    public void HasManualLeadIns_CanBeSet()
    {
        var pgm = new Program();
        pgm.Codes.Add(new RapidMove(new Vector(0, 0)));
        var drawing = new Drawing("test", pgm);
        var part = new Part(drawing);

        part.HasManualLeadIns = true;

        Assert.True(part.HasManualLeadIns);
    }
}
```

- [ ] **Step 2: Run test to verify it fails**

Run: `dotnet test OpenNest.Engine.Tests --filter HasManualLeadIns -v n`
Expected: FAIL — `HasManualLeadIns` property does not exist

- [ ] **Step 3: Add the property to Part.cs**

In `OpenNest.Core/Part.cs`, after the `Program` property (line 52), add:

```csharp
public bool HasManualLeadIns { get; set; }
```

- [ ] **Step 4: Run test to verify it passes**

Run: `dotnet test OpenNest.Engine.Tests --filter HasManualLeadIns -v n`
Expected: 2 tests PASS

- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**

```bash
git add OpenNest.Core/Part.cs OpenNest.Engine.Tests/PartFlagTests.cs
git commit -m "feat: add Part.HasManualLeadIns flag"
```

---

### Task 5: ContourCuttingStrategy signature change

**Files:**
- Modify: `OpenNest.Core/CNC/CuttingStrategy/ContourCuttingStrategy.cs`

This changes the existing `Apply` method signature and return type. No new tests needed — this modifies an existing class that currently has no callers (it was recently built).

- [ ] **Step 1: Change the Apply signature**

In `ContourCuttingStrategy.cs`, change line 10:

```csharp
// Before:
public Program Apply(Program partProgram, Plate plate)
// After:
public CuttingResult Apply(Program partProgram, Vector approachPoint)
```

- [ ] **Step 2: Replace GetExitPoint usage with approachPoint**

Replace line 12:
```csharp
// Before:
var exitPoint = GetExitPoint(plate);
// After:
var exitPoint = approachPoint;
```

- [ ] **Step 3: Delete the GetExitPoint method**

Delete lines 66-79 (the `GetExitPoint(Plate plate)` method). This logic moves to `PlateProcessor` later.

- [ ] **Step 4: Track the last cut point and return CuttingResult**

`perimeterPt` is declared inside a bare block (lines 48-61) and goes out of scope at the closing brace. Declare a `lastCutPoint` variable before the block and assign it inside.

Before the `// Perimeter last` block (before line 48), add:
```csharp
var lastCutPoint = exitPoint;
```

Inside the `// Perimeter last` block, after the perimeter point is computed (after line 49), add:
```csharp
lastCutPoint = perimeterPt;
```

Replace line 63 (`return result;`):
```csharp
return new CuttingResult
{
    Program = result,
    LastCutPoint = lastCutPoint
};
```

- [ ] **Step 5: Remove the unused Plate using directive if needed**

Check if `Plate` is still referenced. The `using OpenNest.Geometry` is still needed for `Vector`.

- [ ] **Step 6: Build to verify**

Run: `dotnet build OpenNest.Core/OpenNest.Core.csproj`
Expected: Build succeeded

- [ ] **Step 7: Commit**

```bash
git add OpenNest.Core/CNC/CuttingStrategy/ContourCuttingStrategy.cs
git commit -m "refactor: change ContourCuttingStrategy.Apply to accept approachPoint"
```

---

## Chunk 2: Part Sequencing

### Task 6: IPartSequencer interface and SequencedPart

**Files:**
- Create: `OpenNest.Engine/Sequencing/IPartSequencer.cs`

- [ ] **Step 1: Create the interface file**

```csharp
using System.Collections.Generic;

namespace OpenNest.Engine.Sequencing
{
    public readonly struct SequencedPart
    {
        public Part Part { get; init; }
    }

    public interface IPartSequencer
    {
        List<SequencedPart> Sequence(IReadOnlyList<Part> parts, Plate plate);
    }
}
```

- [ ] **Step 2: Build to verify**

Run: `dotnet build OpenNest.Engine/OpenNest.Engine.csproj`
Expected: Build succeeded

- [ ] **Step 3: Commit**

```bash
git add OpenNest.Engine/Sequencing/
git commit -m "feat: add IPartSequencer interface and SequencedPart"
```

---

### Task 7: Directional sequencers (RightSide, LeftSide, BottomSide)

**Files:**

```csharp
using System.Collections.Generic;
using OpenNest.CNC;
using OpenNest.Engine.Sequencing;
using OpenNest.Geometry;
using Xunit;

namespace OpenNest.Engine.Tests.Sequencing;

public class DirectionalSequencerTests
{
    private static Part MakePartAt(double x, double y) => TestHelpers.MakePartAt(x, y);

        var b = MakePartAt(30, 5);
        var c = MakePartAt(20, 5);
        var plate = MakePlate(a, b, c);

        var sequencer = new RightSideSequencer();
        var result = sequencer.Sequence(plate.Parts.ToList(), plate);

        Assert.Same(b, result[0].Part);
        Assert.Same(c, result[1].Part);
        Assert.Same(a, result[2].Part);
    }

        var b = MakePartAt(5, 5);
        var c = MakePartAt(5, 10);
        var plate = MakePlate(a, b, c);

        var sequencer = new BottomSideSequencer();
        var result = sequencer.Sequence(plate.Parts.ToList(), plate);

        Assert.Same(b, result[0].Part);
        Assert.Same(c, result[1].Part);
        Assert.Same(a, result[2].Part);
    }

    [Fact]
    public void RightSide_TiesBrokenByPerpendicularAxis()
    {
        var a = MakePartAt(10, 20);
        var b = MakePartAt(10, 5);
        var plate = MakePlate(a, b);

        var sequencer = new RightSideSequencer();
        var result = sequencer.Sequence(plate.Parts.ToList(), plate);

        // Same X, tie broken by Y — lower Y first for RightSide
        Assert.Same(b, result[0].Part);
        Assert.Same(a, result[1].Part);
    }
}
```

- [ ] **Step 2: Run tests to verify they fail**

Run: `dotnet test OpenNest.Engine.Tests --filter DirectRapidPlannerTests -v n`
Expected: FAIL

- [ ] **Step 3: Implement DirectRapidPlanner**

Uses `Shape.Intersects(Line)` — a public method on `Shape` that delegates to `Intersect.Intersects(Line, Shape, out pts)`.

```csharp
using System.Collections.Generic;
using OpenNest.Geometry;

namespace OpenNest.Engine.RapidPlanning
{
    public class DirectRapidPlanner : IRapidPlanner
    {
        public RapidPath Plan(Vector from, Vector to, IReadOnlyList<Shape> cutAreas)
        {
            var travelLine = new Line(from, to);

            foreach (var cutArea in cutAreas)
            {
                if (cutArea.Intersects(travelLine))
                {
                    return new RapidPath
                    {
                        HeadUp = true,
                        Waypoints = new List<Vector>()
                    };
                }
            }

            return new RapidPath
            {
                HeadUp = false,
                Waypoints = new List<Vector>()
            };
        }
    }
}
```

- [ ] **Step 4: Run tests to verify they pass**

Run: `dotnet test OpenNest.Engine.Tests --filter DirectRapidPlannerTests -v n`
Expected: 3 tests PASS

- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**
