micheleandClaude Sonnet 5 db364598ad Add --update flag to importer scripts; update XTAC5212IRGER to newer UL export
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).

import_ultralibrarian.py
=========================
Import a component from an UltraLibrarian KiCad export zip.
UltraLibrarian's "Download" -> KiCad zip produces (naming/nesting can vary
a bit by download, so files are found by extension/pattern, not by exact
path):
- one .kicad_sym symbol file, usually named after a timestamp
(e.g. "2026-08-20_07-44-49.kicad_sym") rather than the part number --
the real name lives inside the file as the top-level symbol name.
- a "footprints.pretty/" (or similarly named) directory holding one or
more .kicad_mod files. UltraLibrarian frequently exports three pad-size
variants of the *same* footprint -- nominal, "-L" (least material
condition) and "-M" (most material condition) -- e.g.
"VQFN24_RGE_CORNERPADS_TEX.kicad_mod", "...-L.kicad_mod",
"...-M.kicad_mod". Only one is wired into the symbol's Footprint
property; the others are alternates the user may swap in manually
and are intentionally left un-imported (see report).
- optionally a 3D model (.step/.stp/.wrl/.wrz), sometimes in a separate
"3D" folder or a separate download altogether -- this script picks
one up if present, and proceeds without it if not.
Usage:
python3 scripts/import_ultralibrarian.py --zip ~/Downloads/ul_XTAC5212IRGER.zip \\
[--name XTAC5212IRGER] [--category ic]
If --name is omitted, it's taken from the symbol file's own top-level
symbol name (this is the reliable identifier, since the file itself is
timestamp-named). If --category is omitted, it's auto-detected the same
way as import_component.py.
This is a thin front-end: it only locates, disambiguates and unzips
files, then hands off to import_component's core (import_symbol/
import_footprint/import_model) for every validation, collision, and
lib-table rule already established there -- no logic is duplicated.
