The Renderer-overlay approach to the global progress box didn't render. Use a
proper Modal like the palette / file dialog, driven by a plain bool
'computing_open' raised when a source starts and lowered when it ends or
aborts. The tick handler stays ahead of the modal guard, so the script keeps
running (and the screen behind it keeps updating) while the modal is shown;
computing_open is also added to the guard so stray keys are ignored mid-load.
The console screen's own Computing block was already removed, so no duplicate.

A script opened from the dashboard (screen_idx 4) aborted after its first
line: the guard treated any non-console screen as 'an interactive command
opened a screen'. Record the screen the source started from and abort only
when a sourced line navigates away from it (what a bare interactive command
does). Now 'o' from the dashboard runs the whole script in place — the
dashboard populates live behind the global Computing overlay — while a bare
connect/explore inside a script still aborts. Batch unaffected (BootDispatch
pins screen 0, so origin 0).

BootDispatch already runs --restore/--source synchronously before the TUI
starts (Source takes its headless drain branch when no screen is attached),
so the console buffer is complete by then. New --batch flag dumps that buffer
(Tui::DumpOutput) to stdout and exits without launching the TUI — enabling
scripted/CI runs and verify output capture (e.g. essim --batch --source s).

Two focused, behaviour-preserving moves:
1. `OpenSignalTypeDialog` + `ApplySignalTypeChoice` moved from
`shell.cpp` to `screen_sigtype_modal.cpp` so the popup owns all of
its logic instead of having its open/apply functions live in the
shell file.
2. The `export` command extracted from `commands.cpp` to a new
`commands_export.cpp` under a `Tui::RegisterExportCommands()`
member. `RegisterCommands()` calls it at the end. File-local
helpers (`csv_quote`, `pin_side`) move alongside in an anonymous
namespace.
Establishes the pattern for future per-group splits: declare a
`Register<X>Commands()` member, define it in its own file, call it
from the orchestrator. Other groups stay in `commands.cpp` for now —
nothing else has grown large enough to warrant the split.
Sizes: shell.cpp 497 → 448, commands.cpp 846 → 675 (+ 191 for the
new commands_export.cpp). DESIGN.md updated.

New user-facing features:
- `export connections <file>` writes a tabular dump of every wire pair:
connection, transform, left/right module/part/pin/signal/type/suspect,
mixed-types flag. Dispatch on extension: `.csv` (flat file) or `.ods`
(one sheet per connection). Any other extension shows an error and
writes nothing.
- Bare `export` (or dashboard `[x]`, or palette `export`) opens an
interactive file-picker dialog with a CSV/ODS toggle at the top.
Picking a filter rewrites the filename's extension. Last-used
directory and filename are remembered per-call-site.
- Two new CLI flags on the binary: `--source FILE` to run a script at
boot, `--restore FILE` to restore a snapshot at boot. Combinable.
Reusable infrastructure:
- `OdsWriter` (`src/imports/ods_writer.{hpp,cpp}`): minimal .ods writer
using libzip + pugixml (already in the build for the importer).
Multi-sheet workbook of string cells. ~180 lines, no new dep.
- Generic file-picker dialog (`screen_filedialog.cpp`): one Modal
reused for any "pick a path" interaction via
`OpenFileDialog(title, persist_key, default_filename, filters, cb)`.
Validates the picked extension against the filter whitelist;
unknown ones stay in the dialog with a status message. Persists
(dir, filename) per `persist_key`.
- Generic error modal (`screen_error.cpp`, `ShowError(msg)`): centred
red-titled popup, dismissable with Esc/Enter. Used by the export
failures (open-for-write, ODS save, unknown extension/kind);
ready for adoption elsewhere.
- Per-key path persistence (`SaveLastUsed`/`LoadLastUsed` in
`shell.cpp`): two-line file per key under the user-data dir.
- `UserDataDir()` extracted from the history path helper so the new
per-key persistence shares the same XDG/AppData logic.
- New help-screen topic "Export"; user-facing `doc/user/analysis.md`
gains an "Exporting" section; `DESIGN.md` gains a generics
section covering the dialog / error modal / persistence / ODS
writer; `DumpCommandsMd` now respects the `hidden` flag (the
`connect` alias no longer appears in the auto-gen reference).

- Enter on a signal entry (net / explore) opens a modal popup to pick
power / gnd / other. Recording is deduped: a sequence of toggles on
the same signal collapses to a single `set-signal-type` line; no-op
selections record nothing.
- Bare interactive commands (the ones that open a full-screen mode)
are no longer recorded by `script-save`. Their inline forms still
are. Mutating actions inside a screen record their own canonical
line.
- Mentor importer treats signals whose name starts with `unconnected`
as no-connect — the pin is kept on the part without a signal and
tagged `ImportedUnconnected`.
- `drop_singleton_signals` runs at the end of `load`: any signal with
exactly one pin is detached (singletons are NC by definition); the
pin is tagged `DroppedSingleton`. Count is reported inline.
- `verify` gains a one-line orphan summary (imported NC / dropped
singleton totals). Pins materialised by `FillIdentityNCs` are
excluded via a `pin_map` filter — they are bridged to a real signal
on the peer module and are not real NCs at system level.
- NcOrigin tag is serialized in save snapshots as an optional 4th
field on N records (backward-compatible).

- `essim --commands-md [file]` instantiates the Tui, calls
`Tui::DumpCommandsMd(ostream&)` which iterates the live registry and
emits Markdown grouped by interactive/other, then exits. Single
source of truth: a new `CommandSpec` field surfaces automatically.
- CMake `doc` target now `DEPENDS essim` and chains:
doxygen → gen_api_md.py → doc/api/
essim --commands-md → doc/user/commands.md
- `doc/user/` adds:
- index.md (hand-written) — first session, interactive-screen
conventions, save/restore/replay overview.
- scripting.md (hand-written) — `set`/`$var` expansion semantics,
`source` event-paced execution, script-save denylist, worked
example pointing at test/system.essim.
- commands.md (auto-generated, regenerated by the `doc` target).
- Top-level README refocused on quick start; pointers to the new
doc tree (user/, api/, DESIGN.md) instead of an inline command table.
- doc/README.md and DESIGN.md document the two-pipeline doc workflow.
- `test/system.essim` and user docs anonymised: bkp → backplane,
vdn1/2/3 → payload1/2/3, cb3p → payload4, bpb/cob/ssu →
peripheral1/2/3; netlist file names + variable names + paths all
replaced with generic equivalents.

Major additions, all wired end-to-end with doctest coverage:
- Altium netlist importer (`imports/import_altium.{hpp,cpp}`): two-pass
parser for `[ ]` parts and `( )` signals; `System::Load` no longer has
the IMPORT_ALTIUM hole.
- `duplicate <src> <dst>` deep-copies a module (signals, parts, pins,
rewired signals); connections excluded by design.
- Nets (`system/nets.{hpp,cpp}`): BFS over `Connection::pin_map` to
return the transitive (Module, Signal) closure. `verify` extended with
a second pass flagging Power↔GndShield inconsistencies in bridged
nets; new `net <module> <signal>` command for inspection.
- Canonical pin names (`system/pin_name.{hpp,cpp}`): zero-padded digit
suffix lets A1 ↔ A001 pair via `IdentityTransform` and
`CheckIdentityCompatible` without losing the imported notation.
- Component classification (`system/component_kind.{hpp,cpp}`):
`Part::kind` inferred at construction from the reference-designator
prefix (longest-match: LED/TP/SW/FB/MK/MP/MH/HS/RA/RN/RP/RV first,
then R/C/L/F/D/Q/U/J/P/Y/X/S).
- Identity wiring tolerance: `CheckIdentityCompatible` accepts the
subset case (typical when one importer drops NC pins, e.g. Altium)
and surfaces orphans as an info string. `FillIdentityNCs`
materialises orphan canonical positions as NC pins on the missing
side at connect time.
- Connector layout preparation: `pin_layout(kind)` and
`FillPartFromLayout(part, kind)` stubs in `pin_role`, called from
`set-type`. Empty today; populate alongside `vpx_3u_role`.
- TUI scrollback: PageUp/PageDown step 10 lines, Home/End jump to
ends; `Print()` snaps back to the tail.
- `set <name> <value>` declares session variables; `$name` / `${name}`
expanded inside `Finalize` between canonical-form recording and the
action call — history and script-save preserve `$var` references.
- Long `source` scripts now show a centred "Computing…" modal with a
N/M progress counter. Driven by a ticker thread that posts one
paced `Event::Special` per processed line, ack'd by the main thread,
so heavy lines don't backlog ticks and freeze the counter.

Domain
- Signal carries a SignalType (Power/GndShield/Other), auto-inferred
from the name in Signal::Signal via infer_signal_type. Override with
the new `set-signal-type` command.
- SignalType extracted to its own header so Pin can store an
`expected_signal_type` without a pins↔signals include cycle.
- pin_role(connector_type, pin_name) → SignalType lookup, called from
set-type to populate each Pin's expected_signal_type. The VPX 3U
table is currently a stub (returns Other).
- New `verify` command walks typed parts and reports pins whose
connected signal's type doesn't match the expectation.
- ODS importer no longer drops pins with empty signal column — they
stay in the part as NC, matching the rule "a pin is either NC or
connected to a signal".
- persist: new S tag for non-default signal type overrides.
Tests
- doctest v2.4.11 via FetchContent (with CMAKE_POLICY_VERSION_MINIMUM
shim, doctest's CMakeLists has a too-old floor for current CMake).
- Source files moved into a static library `essim_lib` so both `essim`
and `essim_tests` reuse the same compilation. main.cpp is the only
file kept out of the lib.
- Layer 1 (pure helpers): ToLower, LongestCommonPrefix, Tokenize,
NaturalLess (numeric/case/leading-zero edge cases + total-order
invariants), signal_type round-trips and infer_signal_type families,
VpxTransform registry + symmetry + reference-table mapping for
connector P0 row 1, IdentityTransform same-name wiring.
- Layer 2 (round-trip): build a synthetic 2-module system in code,
save → restore → assert modules / parts / connector_types / NC pins
/ signal type overrides / connections + pin_map are all preserved.
- Tui::Tokenize moved to a free function in tui_helpers so tests can
call it without dragging ftxui into the unit-test layer.
- 27 test cases, 123 assertions, ~150 ms.

- ODS importer (libzip + pugixml): each sheet → Part, rows → Pin/Signal.
- save / restore commands: tab-delimited snapshot of modules, parts,
signals, connections + pin_map. `restore` replaces the System.
- source / script-save: replay a file of commands; record canonical
commands since last `new` for replay later. Interactive screens
refused during source. `explore` marked non-scriptable.
- TUI screen_explore: 4 columns (modules, type, children, detail) with
filters on children and detail; detail is a Menu so arrows scroll
long pin lists.
- Connector types & transforms: each Part carries a `connector_type`
string. `set-type` validates the part's pin layout against the type
(cols set check). `connect` strict pair: rejects when lookup falls
back to identity unless types are both empty AND pin sets match.
- VPX 3U transforms: 3 registered pairs (vpx-3u-bkp-pN ↔ vpx-3u-payload-pN,
N=0/1/2) with row-pattern correspondence tables ported from the user's
Python reference.
- Code split for maintainability: src/tui/{shell,completion,commands,
screen_main,screen_search,screen_connect,screen_settype,screen_explore,
tui_helpers}.cpp.
- Bug fixes: Module::add(Part*) override sets part->prnt (was always
null, breaking save's W lines). Defensive guards in explore against
empty Menu lists. Renderer wrapped in try/catch so domain throws
surface as on-screen errors instead of SIGABRT.
