Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

## Routing performance: build the C++ backend first

Before benchmarking routing latency or filing "router is slow" issues,
verify the C++ router extension (`src/kicad_tools/router/router_cpp.*.so`)
is built in the active worktree:

```bash
uv run kct build-native --check
# Expected: "C++ backend: available (version 1.0.0)"
```

If it reports "not installed", build it once:

```bash
uv run kct build-native
```

`uv sync` does **not** build the native extension — fresh checkouts and
new git worktrees (`.loom/worktrees/issue-N/`) need this step explicitly.
The C++ backend gives a 10-100x speedup for the A* loop, so a missing
extension is the most likely cause of multi-minute-per-net routing.

### Rebuilding after editing C++ sources

`kct build-native` now detects staleness automatically: it compares the
newest mtime of `src/kicad_tools/router/cpp/**` (`.cpp`/`.hpp` and
`CMakeLists.txt`) against the installed `.so` and **rebuilds when the
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add rjwalters/kicad-tools/AGENTS.md@sha256:5bdc96e30fc89a81

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261017.476872c, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
