Note
Medium Risk
Moderate risk because it changes how downloaded KiCad assets are parsed/rewritten and written back to disk, which could affect compatibility with edge-case vendor symbol/footprint files.
Overview
pcb searchnow formats imported/generated KiCad S-expression files (.kicad_sym,.kicad_mod) via the newpcb-sexprformatter, including formatting footprints after STEP embedding.It also rewrites the symbol
property "Footprint"value to the locallib:footprintform derived from the downloaded footprint path, then generates the.zenfile from the exact formatted symbol content; adds a unit test for the footprint-property rewrite and wires in thepcb-sexprdependency.Written by Cursor Bugbot for commit 3c07b45.
