b33d6e22fd fix: project-local library resolution + copy_routing_pattern geometric fallback + TypeScript tool 
- fix: DynamicSymbolLoader reads project sym-lib-table before global dirs
  add_schematic_component now finds symbols from project-local .kicad_sym files
  project_path derived automatically from schematic file path

- fix: place_component reloads FootprintLibraryManager with project_path
  new boardPath parameter passed to place_component tool (TypeScript + Python)
  _handle_place_component wrapper recreates LibraryManager per project

- fix: copy_routing_pattern geometric fallback when pads have no nets
  primary filter: net-based (when pads are assigned to nets)
  fallback: bounding box of source footprint pads +5mm tolerance
  filterMethod field in response indicates which mode was used

- feat: register copy_routing_pattern as MCP tool in routing.ts
  sourceRefs, targetRefs, includeVias, traceWidth parameters

Live tested: ESP32 + 2x TMC2209 in Test3 project
  13 traces U2 routed, copy_routing_pattern copied all 13 to U3
  offset Y+30mm correct, 26 total traces verified

2945b52eae 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.

b9bd401b11 feat: Add routing replication commands for Issue #30 Phase 2 
Implements advanced trace manipulation and routing pattern copying:
- Enhanced delete_trace with net-based bulk deletion and layer filtering
- Added modify_trace to change width, layer, or net by UUID/position
- Added copy_routing_pattern to replicate routing between component groups

04db774a2b feat: Address multiple open issues (#32, #30, #26, #19) 
Issue #32 - Unknown command errors:
- Register get_board_extents in command_routes (was implemented but not registered)
- Implement find_component command with pattern matching on reference/value/footprint
- Add schemas for both commands

Issue #30 - PCB routing replication (Phase 1):
- Implement get_component_pads: returns all pads with positions, nets, shapes
- Implement get_pad_position: returns specific pad coordinates and properties
- Implement query_traces: query traces by net, layer, or bounding box
- Add schemas for all new commands

Issue #26 - Schematic workflow:
- Add missing schemas for add_schematic_connection, add_schematic_net_label,
  connect_to_net, get_net_connections, and generate_netlist

Issue #19 - macOS Python path detection:
- Add Python 3.13 to version detection
- Add alternative KiCAD installation paths (user Applications, capitalization variants)
- Add Homebrew Python fallback paths for Apple Silicon and Intel Macs
- Expand platform_helper.py with same improvements
