Research direction

Read the part-generation code that writes to the project's symbols/ and footprint folders, and trace how find_part searches for parts. The issue asks for a product and data-sharing decision before implementation; done means deciding whether verified parts stay project-local or enter a shared library and documenting that decision.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

decision parts

Parts made from datasheets live in the project's symbols/ and footprint folders. Should a part that a human has verified also go into a shared library that grows with use, so the next project finds it with find_part?

That ties to the data flywheel (getting data off the machine). Decide before building any shared library.
