KiCad - the KiCad Bridge

@@ -12,6 +12,7 @@ Written 2026-09-11 from a full audit of the 0.9.350 source, the Adom Bridge (ab) | 2026-09-11 | Phase 2 de-risked before it starts: `kicad-ipc-rs` 0.5.1 (blocking feature) cross-builds for Windows from the container with mingw and cmake, and a probe on ConfRoomROG connected to the running PCB editor and returned KiCad 10.0.5, the open board and its nets in 8 ms. One build note for the record: on the gnu target nng needs `advapi32` appended to the link line (`cargo:rustc-link-arg=-ladvapi32` from a build script), or the IPC listener fails to link. | | 2026-09-11 | Phase 1, second pass: 33 verbs in the native binary. Added the netlist group (extract_netlist, trace_net, find_connections, analyze_connections), the lint group (lint_board, lint_schematic, lint_library, format_upgrade), libraries and settings (list_symbols, list_footprints, adom_library_status, get_settings, set_settings, list_design_rules, set_design_rules) and maintenance (model_check, pcm_list, pcm_install, pcm_uninstall, check_for_updates). 73 tests in kicad-core, including parser tests on real KiCad 10 DRC and ERC reports produced by service-kicad. The HTTPS client sits behind a `net` cargo feature so the macOS type-check runs from a box without a darwin C toolchain. Smoke on ConfRoomROG: every verb answers with the Python shapes; one fix found there (a kicad-cli plot check that times out on a 500-symbol stock library was reported as a refusal, in Python too). PCM zip handling is std-only (inflate and SHA-256 written in the crate) so the binary carries no zip or crypto dependency. Schematic edit, misc (ipc_api, export_molecule, errors, log_tail) and install groups in progress. | | 2026-09-11 | Phase 1, third pass: 50 verbs. Schematic edit in place landed (place_symbol, wire, label, move, delete, set_property: lossless s-expression round trip, .bak per write, ERC before and after through kicad-cli with the delta reported; verified on KiCad 10.0.5, and service-kicad ERC accepts the edited sheets in the test suite). Install group landed (install_library, install_symbol, install_footprint, install_library_bundle, adom_library_heal, make_part_project, export_part). Misc group landed (ipc_api, export_molecule, errors, log_tail) plus the first-run seeding in core. Uninstall is the full Python contract (all-artifacts and testResidue modes, verified on ConfRoomROG). 119 tests. The native zip was installed through ab itself on ConfRoomROG (pinned cache, spawn kind exe) and the verb runner drove it over the relay: every ported, runner-visible verb passes (35 of 35, the rest skip by design), the 47 window and routing verbs fail as expected until their phases. One contract fix from that run: ab forwards bare verb names, and the binary now accepts both forms. Phase 2 (routing on the Rust IPC client) in progress. |+| 2026-09-11 | Phase 2 landed in code: the nine routing verbs on `kicad-ipc-rs` (revision is the SHA-256 of the board as KiCad serialises it, one native commit per call, DRC on a disposable snapshot with `--refill-zones`), the four file-based routing verbs on a Rust port of the PCB parser (the routed file is byte-identical to the Python's apart from UUIDs), and `kicad_autoroute` with the ai engine returning a plan request and freerouting reserved for phase 2b. 139 tests; the six-net fixture routed on disk passes service-kicad DRC with zero errors. 59 verbs in the binary. Live IPC verification on ConfRoomROG is pending: the box dropped off the relay right after the phase 2 binary was staged (winvm went with it, which points at the network rather than the binary). Phase 3 started: the Windows and UI Automation crates cross-compile, the window-control surface is on the Platform trait, and the Windows implementation and the window verbs are being written in parallel. |  ## The goal in one sentence
