feat: Add missing routing/component tools and fix SWIG/UUID bugs
...
New MCP tools added (TypeScript layer):
- Routing: delete_trace, query_traces, get_nets_list, modify_trace,
create_netclass, route_differential_pair, refill_zones (with SWIG warning)
- Component: get_component_pads, get_component_list, get_pad_position,
place_component_array, align_components, duplicate_component
Bug fixes:
- routing.py: Fix SwigPyObject UUID comparison (str() -> m_Uuid.AsString())
- routing.py: Fix SWIG iterator invalidation after board.Remove()
by converting board.Tracks() to list() before iteration
- routing.py: Add board.SetModified() and clear Python refs after Remove()
to prevent dangling SWIG pointers crashing subsequent calls
- routing.py: Wrap each track access in try/except in query_traces()
to gracefully skip invalid track objects after bulk delete
- routing.py: Add missing return statement (mypy fix)
- library.py: Fix search_footprints param mapping search_term->pattern
- library.py: Fix fp.name -> fp.full_name field access
- library.py: Accept both 'pattern' and 'search_term' parameter names
- library.py: Add library filter support in search_footprints
- library.py: Fix loop variable shadowing Path object (mypy fix)
- design_rules.py: Add type annotation for violation_counts (mypy fix)
Contribution guidelines followed (CONTRIBUTING.md):
- black python/ applied (3 touched files pass without changes)
- mypy python/ passes with 0 errors on all changed files
- npx prettier --write applied to changed TypeScript files
- npm run build passes (tsc --noEmit: 0 errors)
- Commit messages follow feat:/fix: convention
Note on diff size: The large insertion/deletion count in the changed files
is due to black and prettier reformatting previously unformatted code
(missing trailing commas, quote style, line length). The actual logic
changes are limited to the 6 files listed above.
Note: refill_zones has known SWIG segfault risk (see KNOWN_ISSUES.md).
Prefer IPC backend (KiCAD open) or zone fill via KiCAD UI.

feat: Complete Phase 1 & 2 - Schematic workflow fix and JLCPCB integration
...
Phase 1: Schematic Workflow Fix (Issue #26 )
- Fixed broken schematic workflow using template-based symbol cloning
- Updated create_project to generate both PCB and schematic files
- Rewrote add_schematic_component to use kicad-skip clone() API
- Added template schematics with cloneable R, C, LED symbols
- All schematic tests now passing
Phase 2: JLCPCB Integration Complete
- Integrated JLCSearch public API (no authentication required)
- Access to ~100k JLCPCB parts with real-time stock and pricing
- Implemented parametric search for resistors, capacitors, components
- Added package-to-footprint mapping for KiCad integration
- Cost optimization with Basic vs Extended library classification
- Alternative part suggestions with price comparison
New Components:
- python/commands/jlcsearch.py - JLCSearch API client
- python/templates/ - Template schematics for symbol cloning
- docs/JLCPCB_INTEGRATION.md - Comprehensive API documentation
- docs/SCHEMATIC_WORKFLOW_FIX.md - Phase 1 technical details
- CHANGELOG.md - Consolidated unified changelog
- PHASE_2_COMPLETE.md - Phase 2 implementation summary
MCP Tools Available:
- download_jlcpcb_database - Download full parts catalog
- search_jlcpcb_parts - Parametric search with filters
- get_jlcpcb_part - Part details + footprint suggestions
- get_jlcpcb_database_stats - Database statistics
- suggest_jlcpcb_alternatives - Find similar/cheaper parts
Technical Improvements:
- SQLite database with FTS5 full-text search
- HMAC-SHA256 authentication support (official JLCPCB API)
- Improved .gitignore to exclude credentials and databases
- Template-based schematic creation workflow
Testing:
- All integration tests passing
- Database operations validated
- Live API connectivity confirmed
- Schematic workflow end-to-end verified
