Subject: [PATCH] fix(core): improve null safety and default values in
 PepHelper
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Add null-conditional operator for dwg.QtyRequired (dwg?.QtyRequired ?? 0)
- Use string.Empty instead of null for plate names
- Remove unused using statements

These changes prevent potential null reference exceptions and provide
better default values.
