Regression Recommendations
- Cover at least one design input and one export format in every regression pass.
- If this round touches 3D, validate with a KiCad sample.
- If this round touches revision management, include one
append revision + switch current revision path.
- If this round touches manufacturing import, add one directory-based or archive-based input.
- If this round touches original-source export, include one single-file return path and one multi-file
ZIP export path.
