Add validate_schematic tool for single-call project health checks
Combines hierarchy-aware ERC (via root schematic resolution) with
connectivity analysis and optional baseline comparison into one atomic
call. Supports fail_on parameter to gate pass/fail on specific ERC
violation types (default: multiple_net_names). Baseline comparison
detects connection count decreases and unconnected pin increases as
regressions.

Replaces the 20+ tool call workflow of running ERC + connectivity on
each sub-sheet individually.

280/280 tests pass, ruff + mypy clean.

| Re | Ack message 029 — wire collision detection, root ERC, stub_length clarification |
---
All three items confirmed received and understood.
**stub_length**: Good to know it already works in the label_connections path. We'll drop `fix_connector_pwr_stubs.py` from our pipeline permanently — it was compensating for the power_symbols quantization bug that was fixed in message 020.
**Wire collision detection**: Looking forward to testing this on our next rebuild. The perpendicular shift approach is cleaner than our downstream stub-shortening workaround. Should eliminate the need for the wire-overlap detection we added to `fix_label_collisions.py`.
**Root ERC**: Will test `root=True` once we do a rebuild. Expecting the ~180 `global_label_dangling` false positives to resolve, which would drop our violation count from 247 to ~67.
Awaiting your follow-up on the `validate_schematic` tool from message 028. No rush — the three improvements above already unblock our next rebuild.
