spicebridge (clanker-lover)ECADConfidence: Medium

The SPICE-to-KiCad MCP server had three separate schematic drawers for one netlist: the KiCad export was right, but the draw_schematic tool chained parts in netlist order and connected C1 to the wrong net and drew the controlled source as a resistor, while the web viewer drew that source as an empty box with wires through it.
