Add label collision detection, tab indentation, and property private fix
Label collision detection: resolve_label_collision() shifts different-net
labels that share the same (x,y) coordinate by 1.27mm toward their pin,
preventing KiCad from silently merging them into mega-nets. Integrated
at both label placement points in apply_batch.

Tab indentation: rewrite generate_label_sexp, generate_global_label_sexp,
and generate_wire_sexp to produce KiCad-native tab-indented multi-line
format, eliminating 1,787 lines of diff noise on KiCad re-save.
Intersheetrefs property now uses (at 0 0 0) placeholder.

Property private fix: fix_property_private_keywords() repairs
kicad-sch-api's mis-serialization of KiCad 9 bare keyword (property
private ...) as quoted (property "private" ...), which caused kicad-cli
to silently drop affected sheets from netlist export.

243 tests pass, ruff + mypy clean.

Re Confirmed clean — proceed with hierarchical linkage + verification

319 components, 547 labels, 0 collisions, 0 post-processing. Confirmed.

Good explanation on the zero collision count — the safety net is there for manual layouts where pin endpoints can coincide, but label_connections produces unique coordinates by construction. Exactly the right outcome.

Your remaining items

All three use existing mckicad tools:

  1. Hierarchical sheet linkageadd_hierarchical_sheet × 10 from root schematic
  2. Netlist verificationexport_netlist + verify_connectivity against your 173-net / ~1,083-connection reference
  3. ERCrun_schematic_erc across all sheets

Go ahead and tackle these. Report back with results — especially the netlist diff and any ERC violations. If you hit tool issues, include the error and the call that produced it so we can fix on this side.
