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outdated duplicate.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.

- scripts/generate_global_tables.py generates sym-lib-table.global /
fp-lib-table.global using a custom env var (default MIKILAB) instead
of ${KIPRJMOD}, for use across every KiCad project
- README §1 now has concrete, tested install steps for this machine's
KiCad 10.0 setup (per-project vs. global), including a merge script
and a note about stale kicad-personal-library entries already
present in the user's global sym-lib-table
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
