MADpilot (Mohameddewedar)ECADConfidence: Medium

Switching an STM32H7 board from KiCad to Altium mid Rev A retired the KiCad sources and tests under an ADR, kept them under a tag, and now requires telling historical KiCad records apart from future Altium evidence. Ordering needs final G0 approval plus a fresh BOM check by the assembly house.
