Ports Direction/IntDirection (equivalence classes of vectors, gcd- normalized, exact angular compare) and Line. Line.side_of uses an exact integer determinant; Line.intersection returns an IntPoint when the crossing is integral and a RationalPoint otherwise, with the orthogonal and 45-degree fast paths from the source preserved. Parallel lines yield a point at infinity (z=0). BigIntDirection is folded into IntDirection since unbounded int always fits. Tests cover integral and rational intersections, parallel-line infinity, exactness beyond double precision (verified via exact collinearity of the result), and direction normalization/ordering.
freeroute
A native Python PCB autorouter — a Java-free port of the FreeRouting engine.
Why
kicad-mcp currently autoroutes by shelling out to freerouting.jar, which
drags in a JVM dependency. freeroute reimplements the routing engine in
pure Python so the toolchain needs no Java at all.
The contract
The entire integration surface is two Specctra files:
board.dsn ──▶ freeroute ──▶ board.ses
(unrouted) (routed session: traces + vias)
kicad-cli already exports .dsn and imports .ses, so freeroute is a
drop-in replacement for the JAR step — nothing else in the pipeline changes.
Status
Pre-alpha. Under active development. See docs/PORTING_PLAN.md
for the architecture and porting roadmap.
Usage (target)
freeroute board.dsn -o board.ses
