Commander1024 60c1e279d6 Add KiCad module carrier PCB draft
Introduce an editable KiCad 10 schematic and routed two-layer 82 × 80 mm
layout with local provisional footprints, validation tooling, and
component
research. Keep the RS-232 male-module mapping and mechanical clearances
explicitly provisional pending hardware verification.

"""Create the compact placement draft from a fresh KiCad XML netlist.
Requires system Python + pcbnew. Refuses to overwrite an existing PCB unless
--overwrite is explicit. This is a draft generator, not a manufacturing tool.
Does not modify the schematic or footprint libraries. KiCad SaveBoard also saves
PCB design settings into the project; close the project before regeneration.
