Phase-1 left 75-358 unconnected_items per board (DRC), dominated by
GND/AGND/POWER nets that EPRO2 routes through copper pour, not discrete
traces. Phase-2 lands those:
- pcb_writer._decode_zone_path handles the three POUR.path encodings
seen in ESP-VoCat: rectangle (['R', x, y, w, h, ...]), circle
(['CIRCLE', cx, cy, r]) approximated as a 36-segment polygon, and
polyline (numeric pairs with 'L'/'ARC' verb tokens).
- Each POUR on a copper layer turns into a (zone (polygon ...) ...)
block plus a (filled_polygon ...) that mirrors the boundary.
Why mirror, not auto-fill: kicad-cli pcb drc does NOT run the zone
filler before checking — only the KiCad GUI does. Without a
pre-computed (filled_polygon ...), DRC sees zones as empty regions and
reports the entire net as unconnected. Mirroring the boundary as the
fill is "connectivity-correct, clearance-imprecise" — KiCad users can
still hit Edit > Fill Zones to refine thermals and pad clearances. We
chose this over reading EPRO2's POURED.pourFill (the editor's own
post-fill polygons) because POURED paths use ARC tokens we'd need to
fully decode, and the user-drawn POUR boundary is already the
authoritative "intended copper" region.
ESP-VoCat DRC totals: 883 → 730 unconnected_items (-17% project-wide).
CoreBoard, the 4-layer board with the most pour coverage, drops 358 →
205 (-43%). Other boards see no movement because their unconnected
items are non-pour issues — pads outside the user-drawn POUR
rectangle, or internal $1N nets via vias on the wrong net (separate
problem, separate fix).
65 → 68 unit tests pass.

Phase-1 scope: produce a .kicad_pcb that kicad-cli loads cleanly and
that has the right geometry (nets, footprints, tracks, vias, board
outline) — not a 1:1 EDA round-trip. Skipped on purpose for Phase 2:
copper pours (POUR/POURED), manual FILL, teardrops, board-level
strings/images, ARC circle-center recovery.
What lands:
- pcb_writer.write_pcb(): header/general, data-driven layer table
(F.Cu = ord 0; B.Cu = ord 31; SIGNAL inner ids 15+ allocated to
In1.Cu/In2.Cu/... in EPRO2-id sorted order so used inner layers
stay contiguous), net-name → integer id map (id 0 reserved for the
empty net per KiCad convention), LINE→segment / LINE→gr_line on
Edge.Cuts, layer-11 POLY paths walked into Edge.Cuts gr_line chains
(the actual board outline lives on POLY here, not LINE — without
this stats showed edge=0), VIA→via.
- footprint_writer.write_footprint_placement(): inline (footprint ...)
blocks per PCB COMPONENT. EPRO2 RECT/ELLIPSE/OVAL/POLYGON pad
shapes mapped to KiCad rect/circle/oval/custom; SMD vs THT detected
by PAD.hole presence; SLOT holes use (drill oval w h). Pad nets
resolved cross-doc via the existing PCB.PAD_NET → footprint.pad
chain in ProjectRelations. layerId=2 component → (layer B.Cu) +
text on B.SilkS so bottom-side parts render correctly.
Smoke test on ESP-VoCat (6 PCBs): all 6 pass `kicad-cli pcb export svg`
and render. DRC on smallest (MicBoard) reports 145 violations + 75
unconnected — most of the unconnected are GND nets that the EPRO2
source resolves through POUR copper, which Phase 2 will export.
CLI: `python -m tools.epro2.kicad <project> --all-pcb --out <dir>`
emits one .kicad_pcb per PCB doc.
52 → 65 unit tests pass. Float comparisons in tests use math.isclose
because the s-expr 6-decimal trim doesn't preserve strict equality
through `value * MIL_TO_MM` round-trips.
