b4d114ac74 fix: Address critical Windows compatibility and JLCPCB issues (#36, #37, #35)
Phase 1 critical fixes addressing three high-priority issues:

Issue #36 - Windows IPC backend crash (os.getuid not available):
- Add platform detection to skip Unix-specific socket paths on Windows
- Use hasattr check before calling os.getuid()
- Windows now uses auto-detect fallback (named pipes)
- Maintains full Unix socket support on Linux/macOS

Issue #37 - Windows schematic file creation broken:
- Generate unique UUIDs instead of invalid all-zeros UUID
- Add explicit UTF-8 encoding for cross-platform compatibility
- Force Unix line endings (LF) to prevent Windows CRLF issues
- Update template file with valid placeholder UUID
- Fix hardcoded /tmp/ paths in wire_manager.py and pin_locator.py

Issue #35 - JLCPCB download limited to 100 parts:
- Change batch_size from 1000 to 100 to match tscircuit API limit
- Remove premature loop termination when batch < batch_size
- Add documentation explaining API limitation
- Expected result: Full ~2.5M part catalog download (40-60 minutes)

All changes maintain backward compatibility and include detailed comments.

994965e041 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
