KiCad 10 changed `kicad-cli pcb export svg` in three ways that broke
get_board_2d_view (reported with a verified fix in #209):
- `--output` is now a FILE path, not a directory (a dir fails with
"Failed to create file '<dir>'").
- `--mode-single` is required to merge layers into one SVG (the default
multi-file behavior is deprecated).
- exit code 2 is returned for the deprecation warning even on success.
Pass a file path to `--output` and add `--mode-single` (both also valid on
KiCad 8/9). Stop gating on the exit code — judge success by whether an SVG was
actually produced — so the exit-2 deprecation warning is no longer a false
failure. Add regression tests for the exit-2-is-success case and the command
shape (file output + --mode-single).

* feat(units): add mil unit support across all position/coordinate commands
KiCad natively supports mils, so the MCP server should too. Added "mil"
as a valid unit option in tool schemas and updated all unit-to-nanometer
scale conversions across component, routing, outline, view, and IPC
handler code paths. 1 mil = 25400 nm (0.0254 mm).
Also fixes a pre-existing mypy overload error in pin_locator.py (str cast
on dict.get key) that was blocking pre-commit on any Python file change.

* feat(units): add mil to TypeScript tool schemas
The Python-side mil support was added but the actual input validation
happens in the TypeScript/Zod schemas. Updated all z.enum(["mm", "inch"])
to include "mil" across board, component, routing, design-rules, and
export tool definitions.

* fix(tools): replace CP-1252 mojibake with correct Unicode in board.ts
Replace U+00C3 U+00D7 (×) with U+00D7 (×) in add_logo size output string.
Character was mangled when file was saved as CP-1252 instead of UTF-8.
* fix: restore em-dash and fix pre-commit mypy in component/routing
component.py: replace CP-1252 mojibake (â€") with correct Unicode
em-dash (—) in the 'Add to board first' comment. Addresses
maintainer review on PR #162.
routing.py: annotate ex/ey as float at first assignment site in
_point_to_segment_distance_nm so mypy pre-commit hook passes
cleanly on this branch.

* Feat: save 2D board view to file instead of returning base64
The 2D view was returning base64-encoded image data in JSON, which
often exceeded token/message size limits. Now saves the rendered
image (PNG/JPG/SVG) next to the PCB file and returns the file path.
This makes the output usable by tools that can read image files
directly.

* feat(board): add opt-in responseMode param to get_board_2d_view
Add a responseMode string parameter (enum: inline | file, default inline)
so callers can choose how the rendered image is delivered.
- inline (default, pre-PR behavior): image bytes are base64-encoded
and returned in the imageData response field -- backward-compatible.
- file: image is written next to the .kicad_pcb as
<board>_2d_view.<ext> and filePath is returned -- resolves the
MCP message-size limit problem on large boards.
Rendering logic is shared between both modes; only response packaging
differs. Updated tool schema (Python + TypeScript) and replaced the
existing test file with 5 focused unit tests covering inline/file modes
for PNG and SVG formats plus the default-is-inline contract.

Mechanical application of the `.gitattributes` rules from the prior commit.
All 50 files differ only in line endings — verified by
`git diff --cached --ignore-all-space` being empty.
Before: main had 42 CRLF + 27 LF Python files plus mixed-ending in YAML,
templates, and shell scripts. After: every text file is LF (except the
Windows-native *.ps1, *.bat scripts which remain CRLF per gitattributes).
This eliminates the noisy-diff failure mode seen in PR #102, where a
small logic change produced a 918-line diff due to whole-file CRLF→LF
conversion.
Add isort configuration (profile=black, line_length=100) to pyproject.toml,
add isort pre-commit hook, and auto-sort imports across all Python source 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.

Add .pre-commit-config.yaml with pre-commit-hooks v5.0.0 (trailing
whitespace, end-of-file fixer, yaml/json checks, large file guard,
merge conflict detection). Add minimal pyproject.toml. Auto-fix
trailing whitespace and missing end-of-file newlines across the
codebase.
