HANDLE_CLEARANCEconstant
How far apart two handle centres must be, in radii.
Two circles of radius r touch at 2r and overlap below it, so the old rule of 1.9 declared a pair clear while they were already a tenth of a handle into each other - the "minor overlap" that showed up even when the fallback was working. Above 2 by enough to leave a visible gap rather than a tangent.
