KiCAD MCP Bot	319473b1d8	feat: Implement IPC backend for real-time UI synchronization ... Add KiCAD IPC API backend using kicad-python library for real-time communication with KiCAD 9.0+. Changes now appear instantly in KiCAD UI without manual reload. Key changes: - Implement IPCBackend and IPCBoardAPI classes for IPC communication - Auto-detect IPC availability and fall back to SWIG when unavailable - Route existing commands (route_trace, add_via, place_component, etc.) through IPC automatically when available - Add transaction support for proper undo/redo - Add socket path auto-detection for Linux (/tmp/kicad/api.sock) New commands: - get_backend_info: Check which backend is active Supported IPC operations: - Board: set_size, get_board_info, save - Routing: route_trace, add_via, add_net - Components: place, move, delete, list - Text: add_text, add_board_text SWIG backend is now deprecated and will be removed when KiCAD 10.0 drops SWIG support. Requires: kicad-python>=0.5.0, KiCAD 9.0+ with IPC enabled 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>	2025-11-30 14:33:27 -05:00
