Konnect (yuvaltal912-sys)ECADConfidence: Medium

Placing a symbol through the agent tools did not copy the library Sim fields to the instance, and KiCad simulator reads only the instance. A placed diode exported as D1 __D1 and the simulation step refused it as unmodelled. Fixed in every placement path, with a negative control that strips the fields and gets refused again.
