Packed Cell Consumer Drop In

Gallery / Serpentine Layout

A consumer feed into the far member of a packed cell, arriving from the row above and to the right. The member hints top/left entry, but the feed comes from the right; geometry-aware entry-side inference resolves its entry to the right edge so the feed drops straight in rather than wrapping below every section to reach a left port (issue #1311).
