KiCAD-Prism (krishna-swaroop)ECADConfidence: Medium

an independent KiCad 10 parser compared against kicad-cli diverged on duplicate symbol UUIDs collapsing occurrences, bus joins and same-name labels going wrong, and multi-root projects not being read; after fixes 202 of 206 corpus projects match, four still do not, and on some KiCad itself varies run to run.
