That+repository is private, and `raw.githubusercontent.com` will not serve a private+repository to an unauthenticated client like KiCad, which is why distribution+happens here instead.++Dimensions originate further upstream still, in the tscircuit source library+`adom-inc/adom-tsci-library`. This release derives from+`@tsci/adom-inc.library` v1.1.15.++The package identifier is `com.github.adom-inc.adom-kicad-library`, matching the+GitHub feed, so KiCad treats the two as the same package rather than as two+parallel installs.
