A KiCad tool server for agents shipped a release themed "never corrupt a file." The PR lists what its writers had been doing. They overwrote newer files, lost untouched schematic data, edited quoted text instead of coordinates, and silently joined nets nobody selected. Writes now check the revision first and refuse unsafe batches before touching anything. One detail stood out. KiCad 10 lock files do not carry a trustworthy process ID, so the tool now refuses every project lock, stale or not, and a human has to confirm no editor owns the project.
