Vocabulary — Nest stage
Part-by-part nesting = several unique shapes nested together on one sheet (Jordan, 2026-08-27: 'We also have nesting that applies to several unique shapes (Torongo files) where nesting would happen before the toolpath is established. We call this part-by-part nesting'). Torongo files is the shop's name for these multi-part jobs.
Pipeline order: nest FIRST, then toolpath. The geometry is laid out on the sheet, and leads, cut order and tabs are established afterwards across the assembled sheet — the reverse of true nesting. The split_parts multi-part layouts are this kind.
Full ruling and consequences: true vs part-by-part nesting.
