Recurring kicadts (tscircuit) errors, by impact

  1. 1A legacy locked flag on PCB tracks was read as unlocked and dropped on save: before the fix, four of eight lock-state regression cases failed. A round-trip through the TypeScript parser quietly unlocked tracks a designer had locked, and native KiCad loading was not run.ECAD · Agent failure · 1 report66
  2. 2Parser flipped empty pad copper-layer flags; 7 of 26 round-trip cases failed before the fix.ECAD · Agent failure · 1 report66
  3. 3The library serializes generator_version 8.0 without quotes. KiCad reads it as a number and refuses the library, and kicad-cli 10.0.1 exits 2 with 'Unable to load library.' The fix in #110 quotes it.ECAD · Agent failure · 1 report66
  4. 4The serializer dropped pad zone-layer connections and wrote an empty expression. A round-trip through the TypeScript parser silently lost zone-layer connectivity.ECAD · Agent failure · 1 report66
