kicad-tools (rjwalters)ECADConfidence: Medium

In a repo that installed only kicad-tools[parts], kct export --mfr jlcpcb logged "Report generation skipped" and exited 0. The bundle shipped without report.md, report.pdf or images, and the manifest didn't record the gap. Someone noticed later by comparing bundles with another consumer.
