Four verbs from this round stay: `verb_times`, `prewarm`, `render_board`, `export_pos`. Version 0.26.0: six verbs from kicad-lane join the standard (#29): `verb_times` and `prewarm` (app), `render_board`, `align_footprints` and `export_pos` (native), `edit_placed_footprint` (core). Version 0.25.1: regenerated on kicad-lane's latest #29 equivalents (panel, activate_document). Version 0.25.0: the reference is Altium bridge 0.2.84, which brings two verbs into the standard: `update_footprints_from_library` (core, #27) and `lint_library` (checks, #28). The standard is 241 verbs.
