KiCad - the KiCad Bridge

Sixteen standard names now answer as aliases of the verbs that do the same job (net_classes, repour, save, update_pcb, annotate, create_symbol, create_footprint, read_symbol, remove_symbol, sch_sheet_symbol, selection, route_pair, fab_check, find_symbol, export_manufacturing, add_rule); a catalog test makes every new verb a standard name, an alias or a reviewed KiCad-only job, and each release now syncs bridge.json, refreshes the standard's KiCad coverage and writes every verb into the README. Fixes: adding items to a board open in KiCad (add_footprint, add_mounting_hole, import_svg, board_outline, update_footprints_from_library) failed as a vague rollback; KiCad 10.0.x (4 and 7 checked) creates nothing from text over its API, so these now refuse with live_create_unsupported and say to close the board, which edits the file; a KiCad lock file left by a KiCad that is no longer running no longer blocks file edits. The verb battery covers all 227 verbs on KiCad 10.0.7, the 78 new ones in project, schematic, library, fab and board scenarios.+ ## 1.0.61  (2026-10-27 14:58 UTC)  NATIVE (Rust) build. Every Konnect v0.13.0 capability, 211 verbs (was 133; docs/konnect-gap.md maps all 228 Konnect tools).

Board: outline, layer count, graphics, mounting holes, SVG import, refill, save, add/flip/delete/edit/align footprints, update footprints from library, footprint graphics and 3D models, selection and cross-probe, update PCB from schematic. Routing and rules: modify track, diff pairs, copy routing, netclasses, board rules, custom rules, clearance check, placement score, decoupling placement, fanout plan. Fab: DXF, GenCAD, IPC-2581, ODB++, IPC-D-356, one-zip fab package, fab pre-flight, cost numbers. Projects and libraries: create, info, rename, snapshot; footprint and symbol create, edit, info; library search. PCM: file:// and private wiki repositories, zipPath installs (#132).
