Add Docker/Podman support for Freerouting autorouter
Auto-detects runtime: Java 21+ direct or Docker/Podman fallback. Discovers docker/podman via PATH instead of hardcoding. README includes one-time setup with JAR download + Docker pull. 31 tests covering both execution modes.

Automatically route all unconnected nets using the [Freerouting](https://github.com/freerouting/freerouting) autorouter.
|
||||
|
||||
**Prerequisites:** Java 11+ and `freerouting.jar` (place at `~/.kicad-mcp/freerouting.jar` or set `FREEROUTING_JAR` env var).
|
||||
**Setup (one-time):**
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# 1. Download the Freerouting JAR
|
||||
mkdir -p ~/.kicad-mcp
|
||||
curl -L -o ~/.kicad-mcp/freerouting.jar \
|
||||
https://github.com/freerouting/freerouting/releases/download/v2.0.1/freerouting-2.0.1-executable.jar
|
||||
|
||||
# 2. Runtime — pick ONE:
|
||||
# Option A: Docker (recommended, no Java install needed)
|
||||
docker pull eclipse-temurin:21-jre
|
||||
|
||||
# Option B: Install Java 21+ locally
|
||||
# (Ubuntu/Debian) sudo apt install openjdk-21-jre
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The autorouter auto-detects which runtime is available (Java 21+ direct, or Docker/Podman fallback).
