The Import-LIB-KiCad-Plugin documentation registers third-party libraries
using `${KICAD_3RD_PARTY}` (without a KiCad-version prefix). KiCad accepts
both unprefixed and version-prefixed forms in lib-tables, and the analogous
`KICAD_SYMBOL_DIR` was already handled in `library_symbol.py`'s env-var
dictionary.
`KICAD_3RD_PARTY` was missing from both `_resolve_uri` env-var dictionaries
(in `python/commands/library.py` and `python/commands/library_symbol.py`),
so lib-table rows authored as `${KICAD_3RD_PARTY}/Foo.kicad_sym` or
`${KICAD_3RD_PARTY}/Foo.pretty` failed to substitute, were treated as
non-existent paths, and disappeared from `list_symbol_libraries` /
`list_libraries` results — even though KiCad's GUI showed them correctly.
Changes:
- Add `KICAD_3RD_PARTY` to both `_resolve_uri` env-var dictionaries.
- Add `KICAD_3RD_PARTY` fallback in
`SymbolLibraryManager._find_3rd_party_dir`.
- Refactor `LibraryManager._find_kicad_3rdparty_dir` to check all four
env-var forms (KICAD10/9/8_3RD_PARTY + KICAD_3RD_PARTY) consistently.
- Add regression tests in `tests/test_kicad_3rd_party_env_resolution.py`.
Reproduces with:
- Set `KICAD_3RD_PARTY` env var in the MCP server's environment.
- Register `(lib (name "Foo") (type "KiCad") (uri "\${KICAD_3RD_PARTY}/Foo.kicad_sym") ...)` in the global sym-lib-table.
- Place a real `Foo.kicad_sym` at the resolved path.
- Before: `list_symbol_libraries` does not return `Foo`.
- After: `Foo` is listed.
Mechanical application of the `.gitattributes` rules from the prior commit.
All 50 files differ only in line endings — verified by
`git diff --cached --ignore-all-space` being empty.
Before: main had 42 CRLF + 27 LF Python files plus mixed-ending in YAML,
templates, and shell scripts. After: every text file is LF (except the
Windows-native *.ps1, *.bat scripts which remain CRLF per gitattributes).
This eliminates the noisy-diff failure mode seen in PR #102, where a
small logic change produced a 918-line diff due to whole-file CRLF→LF
conversion.
Add type annotations to all previously untyped functions and remove 9
suppressed error codes (call-arg, assignment, return-value, operator,
has-type, dict-item, misc, list-item, annotation-unchecked) by fixing
the underlying type issues.
Add [[tool.mypy.overrides]] with ignore_missing_imports for KiCAD-specific
modules (pcbnew, sexpdata, skip, cairosvg, kipy, PIL) so the pre-commit
mypy hook passes in its isolated venv. Add types-requests and pytest to
additional_dependencies in .pre-commit-config.yaml.
Also fixes several real bugs uncovered by stricter checks: incorrect static
calls to instance methods in swig_backend, wrong return type on get_size,
missing value param in BoardAPI.place_component, variable shadowing in
kicad_process.py, unqualified LibraryManager reference in kicad_interface,
and missing top-level Path import.

Add [tool.black] config to pyproject.toml and Black hook to
.pre-commit-config.yaml (rev 26.3.1), then auto-format all Python
source and test files with line-length=100, target-version=py310.

Add .pre-commit-config.yaml with pre-commit-hooks v5.0.0 (trailing
whitespace, end-of-file fixer, yaml/json checks, large file guard,
merge conflict detection). Add minimal pyproject.toml. Auto-fix
trailing whitespace and missing end-of-file newlines across the
codebase.

Adds comprehensive local KiCad symbol library search functionality and fixes KICAD9_3RD_PARTY environment variable resolution.
Features:
- Symbol library search by name, LCSC ID, description, manufacturer, MPN
- Support for 3rd party libraries installed via Plugin and Content Manager
- New MCP tools: search_symbols, list_symbol_libraries, get_symbol_info
- Enhanced library path resolution for KiCad 8 and 9
This enables users with locally installed JLCPCB libraries to search and use components directly.
