Steve chose option 3: keep clumps as the default primitive, add a grid/rows
fill mode, so sketching and planning are different operations with different
outputs rather than one model forced to be both.

A plop is a CLUMP, not a plant — great for "a few plops of garlic in a corner",
useless for drawing a plantable 8-rows-of-garlic bed (that came out as ~15
blobs, #77). FillLayout selects what a fill packs:
- clump (default, unchanged): radius 1.5×spacing, ~7 plants per plop.
- grid: radius spacing/2, pitch = spacing, ONE plant per plop — rows you could
  actually plant from.

The geometry is the SAME hexCenters lattice and the SAME #75 half-spacing edge
rule; only the radius→spacing relationship differs (plopRadiusFor). Grid keeps
no 15cm floor — its whole point is true spacing — while clump keeps it so a
tiny-spacing plant doesn't make invisible clumps.

Threaded through FillRegion/FillNamedRegion (empty layout = clump, so existing
callers are unchanged; unknown layout = ErrInvalidInput), the REST /fill
endpoint (`layout`), and the agent's fill_region tool (`mode`, enum clump|grid),
so "plant the bed in rows" works.

Tests: grid produces many more, single-plant plops than clump on the same bed
(radius spacing/2, derived count 1); unknown layout is refused at both the
service and the API. maxFillPlops still caps a grid fill of a huge bed.

No frontend fill affordance exists yet (fill is agent-only in the UI; the fill
UI was deferred in #82), so the mode toggle rides along when that's built —
noted. Docs: DESIGN placement-model decision.
