Show BOM, schematic, and PCB as three upload boxes on the first wizard screen.

The extra board step made the flow look like only two files were required.

 What's new in Pinscope.
 
+## 2.26.2 — 2026-09-11 — Three file boxes
+
+New project: BOM, schematic, and PCB on the first screen. PCB is optional.
+
+- [Changed] No extra wizard step for the board.
+
 ## 2.26.1 — 2026-09-11 — Ask for the KiCad board
 
 The create-project wizard has a dedicated PCB step (skip still allowed). Report load errors show the API detail instead of a generic fetch failure.
