The best tab point used to land in inside corners: equally good points
run along a straight edge, vertices were tried first and the first tie
won. Operators cannot grind a nub flush there.
- SupportAnalyzer finds inside corners (inward-turning vertex runs of at
least 30 degrees, so chorded fillets count) and keeps tab points a
clearance from them; of equally good points it picks the one farthest
from an inside corner. Plan Cutting and the overlay use twice the tab
size; AcceptsTabAt rejects closer points
- When no steadying entry has a lead-in that fits, the search falls back
to entries clear of inside corners, then to every entry, each ordered
by how well the tab steadies the part, keeping only the steadiest that
fit
- Replay notes parts whose planned tab cannot hold them level or sits in
an inside corner; the notes are advisory and leave a Ready plan Ready
- Console/MCP plate summaries print a ready plan's notes
- docs/support-tabs.md and cutting-planner notes
