John Lauer 1.2.6 (docs only): README coverage for 1.2.0-1.2.5 (baked chip thumbnail, hairline outline, orderable identity properties, hidden-property stacking) and a CHANGELOG 187404c 29d ago

Changelog

1.2.5 (2026-09-20)

Hidden properties (Footprint, Datasheet, Description, Manufacturer, MPN, Adom Wiki, distributor numbers, Adom_Chip_Outline) are stacked in a column below the body, 2.54 mm apart, instead of piled at the origin. KiCad's Symbol Editor still paints hidden fields in grey, and at (0,0) they drew as one unreadable pile of text over the symbol.

1.2.4 (2026-09-19)

Orderable identity. mpn, distributors {mouser, digikey, lcsc} and wikiUrl in the create JSON become the MPN / Mouser / DigiKey / LCSC / "Adom Wiki" symbol properties, beside Manufacturer / Datasheet / Description. adom-lbr carries them into Altium parameters and Fusion attributes.
create prints a NOT ORDERABLE YET hint naming whichever of mpn, manufacturer, wikiUrl and the three distributor numbers is missing, and points at adom-parts-search search <MPN>.

1.2.3 (2026-09-19)

Baked chip-outline polylines are written with a 0.0254 mm (1 mil) hairline stroke. KiCad draws any stroke at least one pixel wide, so the outline reads as a crisp single-pixel line at every zoom; the old 0.14 to 0.17 mm stroke smeared it.

1.2.2 (2026-09-19)

--outline-name none (or preferences.outlineName: "none"): do not laser the part number under the chip when the outline already shows it, e.g. one made from a side-etched STEP. The default is under.

1.2.1 (2026-09-19)

The _hint: lines create prints now tell the AI to check the Adom wiki first (adom-wiki discover search --query <MPN>): an existing component page already ships the reviewed symbol, footprint, STEP, outline cache and provenance. The generic-chip hint lists the wiki as step 0 of the ladder for getting the real body.

1.2.0 (2026-09-19)

The 3D-chip thumbnail outline is baked into every IC symbol by default, as real KiCad polylines centred in the lane between the pin-name columns: the part's real outline when chip-thumbnailer has rendered <mpn>-3d-outline-*-named.svg (or --outline-svg is given), otherwise a generic isometric chip with the part name lasered on top. A hidden Adom_Chip_Outline property records the source. Off with --no-chip-outline / preferences.chipOutline:false; size with --chip-size large|medium|small.

# Changelog

## 1.2.5 (2026-09-20)
- Hidden properties (Footprint, Datasheet, Description, Manufacturer, MPN, Adom Wiki, distributor numbers, `Adom_Chip_Outline`) are stacked in a column below the body, 2.54 mm apart, instead of piled at the origin. KiCad's Symbol Editor still paints hidden fields in grey, and at (0,0) they drew as one unreadable pile of text over the symbol.

## 1.2.4 (2026-09-19)
- Orderable identity. `mpn`, `distributors {mouser, digikey, lcsc}` and `wikiUrl` in the create JSON become the MPN / Mouser / DigiKey / LCSC / "Adom Wiki" symbol properties, beside Manufacturer / Datasheet / Description. adom-lbr carries them into Altium parameters and Fusion attributes.
- `create` prints a `NOT ORDERABLE YET` hint naming whichever of `mpn`, `manufacturer`, `wikiUrl` and the three distributor numbers is missing, and points at `adom-parts-search search <MPN>`.

## 1.2.3 (2026-09-19)
- Baked chip-outline polylines are written with a 0.0254 mm (1 mil) hairline stroke. KiCad draws any stroke at least one pixel wide, so the outline reads as a crisp single-pixel line at every zoom; the old 0.14 to 0.17 mm stroke smeared it.

## 1.2.2 (2026-09-19)
- `--outline-name none` (or `preferences.outlineName: "none"`): do not laser the part number under the chip when the outline already shows it, e.g. one made from a side-etched STEP. The default is `under`.

## 1.2.1 (2026-09-19)
- The `_hint:` lines `create` prints now tell the AI to check the Adom wiki first (`adom-wiki discover search --query <MPN>`): an existing component page already ships the reviewed symbol, footprint, STEP, outline cache and provenance. The generic-chip hint lists the wiki as step 0 of the ladder for getting the real body.

## 1.2.0 (2026-09-19)
- The 3D-chip thumbnail outline is baked into every IC symbol by default, as real KiCad polylines centred in the lane between the pin-name columns: the part's real outline when chip-thumbnailer has rendered `<mpn>-3d-outline-*-named.svg` (or `--outline-svg` is given), otherwise a generic isometric chip with the part name lasered on top. A hidden `Adom_Chip_Outline` property records the source. Off with `--no-chip-outline` / `preferences.chipOutline:false`; size with `--chip-size large|medium|small`.
