4ae38fed59 Rebuild on FastMCP 3 with src-layout and kicad-sch-api integration 
Migrate from FastMCP 2.14.5 to 3.1.0 with complete architectural
overhaul. Adopt src-layout packaging, lazy config functions to
eliminate .env race condition, and decorator-based tool registration.

Consolidate 14 tool modules into 8 focused modules (33 tools total).
Add 9 new schematic tools via kicad-sch-api for creating and
manipulating .kicad_sch files. Drop pandas dependency (BOM uses
stdlib csv). Remove ~17k lines of stubs, over-engineering, and
dead code.

All checks pass: ruff clean, mypy 0 errors, 17/17 tests green.

687e14bd11 Rename project from kicad-mcp to mckicad 
Rename source directory kicad_mcp/ → mckicad/, update all imports,
pyproject.toml metadata, documentation references, Makefile targets,
and .gitignore paths. All 195 tests pass.

04237dcdad Implement revolutionary KiCad MCP server with FreeRouting & IPC API integration 
This massive feature update transforms the KiCad MCP server into a complete
EDA automation platform with real-time design capabilities:

## Major New Features

### KiCad IPC API Integration (`utils/ipc_client.py`)
- Real-time KiCad communication via kicad-python library
- Component placement and manipulation
- Live board analysis and statistics
- Real-time routing status monitoring
- Transaction-based operations with rollback support

### FreeRouting Integration (`utils/freerouting_engine.py`)
- Complete automated PCB routing pipeline
- DSN export → FreeRouting processing → SES import workflow
- Parameter optimization for different routing strategies
- Multi-technology support (standard, HDI, RF, automotive)
- Routing quality analysis and reporting

### Automated Routing Tools (`tools/routing_tools.py`)
- `route_pcb_automatically()` - Complete automated routing
- `optimize_component_placement()` - AI-driven placement optimization
- `analyze_routing_quality()` - Comprehensive routing analysis
- `interactive_routing_session()` - Guided routing assistance
- `route_specific_nets()` - Targeted net routing

### Complete Project Automation (`tools/project_automation.py`)
- `automate_complete_design()` - End-to-end project automation
- `create_outlet_tester_complete()` - Specialized outlet tester creation
- `batch_process_projects()` - Multi-project automation pipeline
- Seven-stage automation: validation → AI analysis → placement →
  routing → validation → manufacturing → final analysis

### Enhanced Analysis Tools (`tools/analysis_tools.py`)
- `analyze_board_real_time()` - Live board analysis via IPC API
- `get_component_details_live()` - Real-time component information
- Enhanced `validate_project()` with IPC integration
- Live connectivity and routing completion monitoring

## Technical Implementation

### Dependencies Added
- `kicad-python>=0.4.0` - Official KiCad IPC API bindings
- `requests>=2.31.0` - HTTP client for FreeRouting integration

### Architecture Enhancements
- Real-time KiCad session management with automatic cleanup
- Transaction-based operations for safe design manipulation
- Context managers for reliable resource handling
- Comprehensive error handling and recovery

### Integration Points
- Seamless CLI + IPC API hybrid approach
- FreeRouting autorouter integration via DSN/SES workflow
- AI-driven optimization with real-time feedback
- Manufacturing-ready file generation pipeline

## Automation Capabilities

### Complete EDA Workflow
1. **Project Setup & Validation** - File integrity and IPC availability
2. **AI Analysis** - Component suggestions and design rule recommendations
3. **Placement Optimization** - Thermal-aware component positioning
4. **Automated Routing** - FreeRouting integration with optimization
5. **Design Validation** - DRC checking and compliance verification
6. **Manufacturing Prep** - Gerber, drill, and assembly file generation
7. **Final Analysis** - Quality scoring and recommendations

### Real-time Capabilities
- Live board statistics and connectivity monitoring
- Interactive component placement and routing
- Real-time design quality scoring
- Live optimization opportunity identification

## Usage Examples

```python
# Complete project automation
automate_complete_design("/path/to/project.kicad_pro", "rf",
                        ["signal_integrity", "thermal"])

# Automated routing with strategy selection
route_pcb_automatically("/path/to/project.kicad_pro", "aggressive")

# Real-time board analysis
analyze_board_real_time("/path/to/project.kicad_pro")

# Outlet tester project creation
create_outlet_tester_complete("/path/to/new_project.kicad_pro",
                             "gfci", ["voltage_display", "gfci_test"])
```

This update establishes the foundation for Claude Code to provide complete
EDA project automation, from initial design through production-ready
manufacturing files, with real-time KiCad integration and automated routing.
