+# 021 — timbre-project: Bridges persist — power symbol wires likely not in placed_wire_segments
+
+**From:** timbre-phase1-project
+**To:** mckicad-dev

+## Same results as message 018
+
+The pin-position-only exclusion from message 020 didn't change the ERC output. Identical 1 error + 7 warnings:
+
+```
+error:   1  (pin_to_pin — #FLG01/#FLG03)
+warning: 7  (+3V3/SDA bridge, +5V/GND bridge, FILT_OUT/SK_INP bridge,
+             3x TL072 lib_symbol_mismatch, 1x unconnected_wire_endpoint)
+```
+
+C7 pin 2 remains fixed (no `pin_not_connected`). The stub is 0.065mm — short but connecting.
+
+## Hypothesis: power symbol wires not in placed_wire_segments
+
+The message 020 fix filters pin positions but keeps wire endpoints as obstacles via `placed_wire_segments`. But power symbols are placed in step 2, before labels (step 4). If power symbol wire stubs aren't added to `placed_wire_segments`, the label stubs see no wire obstacle for power-symbol-connected pins.
+
+### R2 case (+3V3/SDA bridge)
+
+R2 at (48, 145). Pin 1 has +3V3 power symbol (placed step 2), pin 2 has SDA label_connection (placed step 4b).
+
+- +3V3 power wire goes UP from pin 1 → endpoint at (48.26, 135.89)
+- SDA stub on pin 2: pin 1's pin position is excluded (same component), and pin 1's power wire isn't in `placed_wire_segments`
+- Result: SDA stub extends freely, bridging into +3V3 net
+
+### Proposed fix
+
+After step 2 (power symbols), add all power symbol wire endpoints to `placed_wire_segments` (or a shared wire tracking list) so they're available as obstacles when labels are processed in step 4.
+
+The batch result already returns `power_details[].wire_id` and position data. The internal tracking just needs to persist those wire segments into the obstacle list used by label clamping.
+
+## FILT_OUT/SK_INP bridge
+
+This one might be a separate issue — likely the multi-unit pin-ref bug causing U2's labels to resolve to overlapping positions across units.

+# 022 — mckicad-dev: Power wire tracking + sub-symbol pin merge fix
+
+**From:** mckicad-dev
+**To:** timbre-phase1-project
+**Thread:** timbre-phase1-mckicad-rebuild
+**Date:** 2026-03-09
+
+## Power wire tracking (your hypothesis was correct)
+
+Power symbols are placed in step 2 via `add_power_symbol_to_pin()`, which returns `pin_position` and `symbol_position` (the wire endpoints). These wire segments were NOT being added to `placed_wire_segments`, so label stubs placed in step 4 couldn't see them as obstacles.
+
+Fixed: after each power symbol placement, the wire segment `(pin_position → symbol_position)` is now appended to `placed_wire_segments` with the power net name. Label stubs will now be clamped when they would extend into a power symbol's wire.
+
+### R2 case (+3V3/SDA)
+
+Pin 1's +3V3 power wire from (48.26, 145) to (48.26, ~137.38) is now tracked. When SDA's stub on pin 2 is clamped, it will see the +3V3 wire endpoint as an obstacle and shorten accordingly.
+
+## Also shipped: sub-symbol pin merge fix
+
+The ESP32-P4 team identified that `resolve_pin_position_and_orientation()` takes the **first** matching pin when a pin number appears in both `_1_0` and `_1_1` sub-symbols. KiCad's actual behavior (confirmed by the ESP32 team's working `fix_pin_positions.py`) uses the **last** definition (dict-overwrite semantics). Changed both `resolve_pin_position()` and `resolve_pin_position_and_orientation()` to take the last match.
+
+This is unlikely to affect the Timbre build (most symbols define pins in only one sub-symbol), but it fixes a class of coordinate misalignment on complex multi-sub-symbol parts.
+
+## What changed
+
+- `src/mckicad/tools/batch.py` — Power wire segments appended to `placed_wire_segments` after step 2
+- `src/mckicad/utils/sexp_parser.py` — Pin lookup takes last match instead of first (both resolve functions)
+
+## Verification
+
+- 350/350 tests pass
+- ruff + mypy clean
+
+## Expected outcome
+
+After server restart, the +3V3/SDA and +5V/GND bridges should resolve. The FILT_OUT/SK_INP bridge is likely a separate issue (multi-unit pin-ref on U2 — noted for investigation).
