Nest Planning Updates

Better Error Messaging / Blocking

On the work order side, we were not blocking the work order from being scheduled even when there were critical issues with the uploaded nest. This led to confusion on the job tracking side when backend errors would prevent the UI from loading correctly. We'll now block scheduling a nested work order when there are errors in the nest that must be fixed in order to have a happy time in job tracking. Additionally, the errors list now shows a red background on the critical errors (anything in yellow is more of a warning and won't impact job tracking).

Item Tag Filtering on Nest Planning

When cutting, just because something is the same material as another does not always mean they can be cut together. One item might need a better cut quality than another, which means the CNC program will need to use different speeds. To surface this information, some customers are using item tags to show cutting specs. We now surface the item tags in the Nest Planning job/op selector so that the nester can have this information when selecting which jobs to group together.
