- scripts/mikilab_lib.py / mikilab_cli.py: typed Python API + JSON CLI
for add/update/remove/query, for other apps to integrate without
shelling out to add_component.py
- lib_common.py/import_component.py/import_batch.py: regenerate
sym-lib-table.global/fp-lib-table.global on every mutating call, not
just the project-local tables
- scripts/find_missing_3d_models.py: lists components with no 3D model
and search links to fill the gap
- docs/GUIDA_USO.md: practical Italian usage guide (companion to README.md)
- checkup fixes: removed orphan duplicate footprint
footprints/other/CP_20_1_ADI.kicad_mod, and a dangling
${easyeda2kicad}/tmp 3D model reference in AXP2101's footprint that
pointed at a file that never existed on disk
FSC-BT1058 had ended up with two footprint/symbol libraries on disk
(FSC-BT1058 and MIKILAB_FSC-BT1058) after a re-import baked the
"MIKILAB_" nickname prefix into the component name itself. Since that
prefix is normally added automatically when sym-lib-table/fp-lib-table
are generated, the double-prefixed copy (MIKILAB_MIKILAB_FSC_BT1058)
was invisible to collision checks and left the original as a stale,
outdated duplicate.
Consolidated onto the single correct library (symbols/other and
footprints/other without the redundant prefix, matching the rest of
the library's naming convention), fixed the symbol's Footprint
property and the footprint's 3D model reference, and regenerated both
lib-tables from disk.
To stop this class of bug from recurring:
- lib_common.check_component_name() rejects any --name that already
starts with "MIKILAB", used by import_component.py's import_symbol/
import_footprint (and therefore also by add_component.py and the
SnapEDA/UltraLibrarian importers, which call into the same core).
- check_library.py now flags any on-disk symbol/footprint whose name
already carries that prefix as an ERROR, independent of how it got
there.
- import_component.py gains --remove to cleanly delete a component
(symbol, footprint library, 3D model) and regenerate the lib-tables
in one step, for exactly this kind of cleanup.
Errors: 0 on check_library.py after the fix.

The importers previously refused to touch an already-imported component by
design, which meant re-importing an updated UltraLibrarian/SnapEDA zip for
the same part-number errored out. Add --update to import_component.py's
import_symbol/import_footprint (and thread it through import_snapeda.py and
import_ultralibrarian.py) so an existing symbol/footprint can be replaced
in place instead, with the manifest recording it as UPDATED rather than NEW.
Used it to refresh XTAC5212IRGER from a newer UltraLibrarian download
(single-unit symbol layout vs. the previous split power/signal units;
same 29 pins).

Self-contained KiCad library (symbols, footprints, 3D models, docs,
import/check tooling) with no dependency on kicad-personal-library.
- Fixed sym-lib-table/fp-lib-table: single (version 7) header, one entry
per library, MIKILAB_<name> nicknames, ${KIPRJMOD}-relative URIs
- Resolved the SOT95P280X145-5N footprint collision (TPS7A2012PDBVR vs
TPS7A2018PDBVR): confirmed byte-identical modulo KiCad's internal
tedit timestamp, unified into one shared footprint
- Resolved a case-insensitive filename collision between the official
Diode.kicad_sym and a custom diode.kicad_sym
- Wrapped standalone footprints (ESP32-S31-WROOM-3, IC_TPS63020DSJT,
SOT95P280X145-5N) into their own .pretty libraries so they're
actually registered in fp-lib-table
- Fixed broken symbol->footprint references (including one pointing at
a nonexistent easyeda2kicad library)
- Added scripts/check_library.py, import_component.py, add_component.py,
import_batch.py, and lib_common.py
