kicad-componentlisted

Find, fetch, and register KiCad components: search local/official symbol and footprint libraries, download missing parts from the internet (easyeda2kicad by LCSC id, SnapEDA/UltraLibrarian zips), and register them in project lib tables. Use when a schematic needs a part that is not already in the project.

# Component sourcing & indexing ## Local search order 1. Project libs (sym-lib-table next to .kicad_pro, `${KIPRJMOD}` URIs). 2. Official flatpak libs: `~/.local/share/flatpak/runtime/org.kicad.KiCad.Library.Symbols/x86_64/stable/active/files/symbols/*.kicad_sym` (footprints idem, `.../Library.Footprints/.../footprints/*.pretty`). Grep symbol names: `grep -l '(symbol "NAME' *.kicad_sym` then extract the balanced block with `kicad_lib.sexp`. 3. **Index (implemented):** `kx find dual comparator` → ranked lib_id hits with description/keywords/pins. First run `kx index [PROJECT_LIB_DIR]` (22k official symbols ≈ 20 s once; mtime-incremental ≈ 0.1 s after). DB: ~/.cache/kx_scratch/symbols.sqlite; `extends` children inherit base description/keywords so families are searchable. ## Internet fetch - **LCSC/JLC part known** (implemented, preferred): `kx fetch C25804 /path/to/project` → symbol + footprint + 3D (wrl+step) in PROJECT/libs/ AND both lib tables registered (${KIPRJMOD} URIs), idempotent. Binary lives in the repo .venv (PEP 668 box); fetch needs real network (sandbox blocks DNS — run unsandboxed). v1.0.1 quirk handled: --project-relative resolves against CWD, so kx runs it from the project dir. - **SnapEDA/UltraLibrarian zip** (implemented; user downloads, no open API): `kx import-zip part.zip /path/to/project` → libs/<name>.kicad_sym + .pretty + tables; legacy .lib auto-upgraded via kicad-cli sym upgrade. - Always sanity-check fet
