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

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
