discovery_pitch

Drive KiCad on the user's desktop: open boards/schematics/symbols/footprints, run DRC/ERC, export gerbers/STEP/BOM, view in 3D. First run `adom-desktop bridge_list` to confirm the kicad bridge is installed; if so, drive its `kicad_*` verbs (kicad_describe lists them, kicad_readiness checks KiCad is present). If this container lacks the skill, run `adom-wiki pkg install adom/adom-desktop-kicad-bridge` or `adom-desktop sync_skills`.
