53a8b3ff3e Add Freerouting autoroute integration
4 new MCP tools: autoroute (full DSN→Freerouting→SES pipeline),
export_dsn, import_ses, check_freerouting. Requires Java 11+ and
freerouting.jar. Includes 21 test cases and README usage examples.

914c4fa1e3 feat: add footprint + symbol creator tools
Footprint tools:
- create_footprint: generates .kicad_mod via f-string (SMD/THT, courtyard, silkscreen, fab)
- edit_footprint_pad: updates size/position/drill/shape in-place
- list_footprint_libraries: scans .pretty directories
- register_footprint_library: adds entry to fp-lib-table

Symbol tools:
- create_symbol: generates .kicad_sym with pins, rectangles, polylines
- delete_symbol: removes symbol from library
- list_symbols_in_library: lists all symbols in a .kicad_sym file
- register_symbol_library: adds entry to sym-lib-table

Also:
- Fix footprint format version: 20250114 (schematic) -> 20241229 (footprint)
- Two MCP prompts: create_footprint_guide + footprint_ipc_checklist

Live tested: TMC2209 footprint (19 pads), R_0603_Test, edit_footprint_pad,
TMC2209_Custom symbol with pins all confirmed in KiCAD 9

1ba86f7769 feat: datasheet tools + fix missing delete_schematic_component
New tools - datasheet:
- get_datasheet_url: construct LCSC datasheet PDF URL + product page URL
  without any API key (URL schema: https://www.lcsc.com/datasheet/<C#>.pdf)
- enrich_datasheets: scan .kicad_sch, write LCSC datasheet URL into every
  symbol that has an LCSC property but an empty Datasheet field; supports
  dry_run=true for preview; text-based implementation (no skip writes)
  Implementation: python/commands/datasheet_manager.py

New tool - schematic:
- delete_schematic_component: remove a placed symbol from a .kicad_sch file
  by reference designator (e.g. R1, U3)

Bug fix - delete_schematic_component (two separate root causes):
1. No MCP tool named delete_schematic_component was registered at all.
   Any delete-symbol request fell through to the PCB-only delete_component
   tool which searches pcbnew.BOARD and always returned 'Component not found'
   for schematic symbols.
2. component_schematic.py::remove_component() still used skip for writes.
   PR #40 rewrote DynamicSymbolLoader (add path) to avoid skip-induced
   schematic corruption, but the delete path was not touched by that PR.

Fix: _handle_delete_schematic_component in kicad_interface.py uses direct
text manipulation with parenthesis-depth tracking (same technique as PR #40),
bypassing component_schematic.py entirely. Error message explicitly guides
users: 'use delete_component for PCB footprints'.

Files changed:
- python/commands/datasheet_manager.py (new)
- src/tools/datasheet.ts (new)
- python/kicad_interface.py: 3 new handlers + dispatch entries
- src/tools/schematic.ts: delete_schematic_component tool
- src/server.ts: registerDatasheetTools import + call
- src/tools/index.ts: export registerDatasheetTools
- CHANGELOG.md: document all above

34ccdb8822 fix: Register schematic and library tools in MCP server
- Added missing schematic tools registration (fixes #12)
- Created library tools TypeScript implementation
- Added 4 library management tools (list_libraries, search_footprints, list_library_footprints, get_footprint_info)
- Now properly exports and registers all 10 tool categories
- Total of 54 TypeScript tools now properly registered

This resolves the issue where schematic and library tools were defined in Python but not visible to MCP clients.

-  macOS experimental support
-  Platform-agnostic path handling (XDG spec)
-  Auto-detection of KiCAD installation

### Infrastructure 🏗️
-  GitHub Actions CI/CD pipeline
-  Pytest framework with 20+ tests
-  Pre-commit hooks (Black, MyPy, ESLint)
-  Automated Linux installation script
-  Enhanced npm scripts

### IPC API Migration Prep 🚀
-  Comprehensive migration plan (30 pages)
-  Backend abstraction layer (800+ lines)
-  Factory pattern with auto-detection
-  SWIG backward compatibility wrapper
-  IPC backend skeleton ready

### Documentation 📚
-  Updated README (Linux installation)
-  CONTRIBUTING.md guide
-  Linux compatibility audit
-  IPC API migration plan
-  Session summaries
-  Platform-specific config templates

## Files Changed

- 27 files created
- ~3,000 lines of code/docs
- 8 comprehensive documentation pages
- 20+ unit tests
- 5 abstraction layer modules

## Next Steps

- Week 2: IPC API migration (project.py → component.py → routing.py)
- Migrate from deprecated SWIG to official IPC API
- JLCPCB/Digikey integration prep
