75cead0860 style: apply Black formatting to all Python files 
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.

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

- JLCSearch API: @tscircuit
- Local JLCPCB search: @l3wi

KiCAD MCP Bot
4c6514eb6b feat: Add complete JLCPCB API integration with dual-mode support 
Implements full JLCPCB parts catalog integration alongside existing local library search,
giving users two complementary approaches for component selection:

1. Local Symbol Libraries (PR #25)
   - Search JLCPCB libraries installed via KiCad PCM
   - Pre-configured symbols with footprints
   - Works offline, no API needed

2. JLCPCB API Integration (NEW)
   - Complete 100k+ parts catalog access
   - Real-time pricing and stock information
   - Basic/Extended library type identification
   - Cost optimization and alternative suggestions
   - Package-to-footprint mapping

New Features:
- download_jlcpcb_database: Download complete parts catalog to local SQLite DB
- search_jlcpcb_parts: Parametric search with pricing, stock, library type filters
- get_jlcpcb_part: Detailed part info with price breaks and footprint suggestions
- get_jlcpcb_database_stats: Database statistics and status
- suggest_jlcpcb_alternatives: Find cheaper/available alternatives

Implementation:
- Python API client (commands/jlcpcb.py) - JLCPCB API authentication and data fetching
- Parts database manager (commands/jlcpcb_parts.py) - SQLite storage and search
- TypeScript MCP tools (tools/jlcpcb-api.ts) - User-facing tool definitions
- Comprehensive documentation (docs/JLCPCB_USAGE_GUIDE.md)

Database Features:
- ~100k parts with descriptions, pricing, stock levels
- Full-text search on descriptions and part numbers
- Parametric filtering (category, package, manufacturer, library type)
- Package-to-footprint mapping for KiCad
- Intelligent alternative suggestions

Setup Requirements:
- JLCPCB_API_KEY and JLCPCB_API_SECRET environment variables
- One-time database download (~5-10 minutes, 42MB)
- requests library (already in requirements.txt)

Benefits:
- Cost optimization (identify Basic parts = free assembly)
- Real-time stock checking
- Complete catalog access
- Works offline after initial download
- Complements local library search
