Experimental

KiCad.
Through its own interface.

A bounded PCB interface for an engineering tool with its own object model.

  • A separately packaged KiCad integration
  • A curated KiCad 9/10 PCB surface
  • Owner-assigned identity and explicit policy grants

Where the boundary is.

The integration is GPL-3.0-or-later. A deterministic fake IPC test does not establish interoperability with a live KiCad process.

What the evidence says.

The frozen main revision contains the integration and a passing combined KiCad/MLT gate. Read its compatibility notes before using real projects.

This is an editorial summary of a frozen source revision, not a probe of your installation. A successful job does not automatically certify other versions, environments or operations.

Start with the contract.

Read the integration’s own README and security notes before enabling it. Owner-assigned identity, required grants and application dependencies must be configured explicitly. Registration alone does not authorize execution.
