The Y.Doc is the source of truth for the FILE, but both live wires wrote
KiCad's CLIPBOARD dialect — a lossy, paste-oriented format. Every
difference was permanent, unfixable drift.
- pcbnew: serialize footprint blobs with CTL_FOR_BOARD, not CLIPBOARD_IO's
CTL_FOR_CLIPBOARD, which emitted (version)(generator)(generator_version)
inside every (footprint …). Keep (locked yes).
- eeschema: aForClipboard=false — clipboard mode collapsed every symbol's
(instances … (path "/sheet")) to (path "").
- Re-supply (version) at PARSE time only (withFootprintVersion): the token
is invalid file content but load-bearing on decode — without it the
parser starts at m_requiredVersion=0 and stamps (hide yes) on every
mandatory field.
- FOOTPRINT copy ctor: restore mandatory-field uuids (EDA_ITEM::operator=
keeps the target's const m_Uuid, so Clone() rerolled all four).
- drift: classify order-only diffs as `reordered` — y-sexpr v2 reorders
legitimately; excluded from counts, report-worthiness and dedupe hashes.
Migration 0017.
- fpedit from eeschema: AsyncLoad()+BlockUntilLoaded() in initLibraryTree —
FACE_PCB starts lazily there and never preloaded its libraries.
Guards: wire-vs-file round-trip tests (pcbnew + eeschema),
fpedit-from-eeschema (verified red without the fix), symedit-from-eeschema.
