Smoke path and this pass’s record¶
Supported platforms and audience¶
For Apple-build manual acceptance. Run it in both the wide shell and the narrow shell. Record device, OS, app version, and sample. A narrow Mac window does not replace a physical mobile device.
Prerequisites¶
Prepare a KiCad PCB, a project that contains PCB / schematic, and a writable output directory. Use an independent copy for write-back tests.
Steps¶
- Switch library grid/list layouts, open Information, and open a document.
- Zoom, pan, and pick in 2D; check Info expansion, collapse, and double-click copying.
- Open Inspect and check Display, Selection & Focus, and Highlight & Objects; search, highlight, and clear.
- Open and close 3D; use Estimate for quotes and Info for board/revision details.
- Export PNG through More → Export and confirm it is readable.
- In a complete project, switch sheets through Project and verify exact cross-probing.
- On an independent copy, verify schematic Edit, symbol library, save, and cold reopen.
- Switch wide/narrow layouts and record occlusion, clipping, lost state, and unverified items.

FAQ¶
Can unverified items still be called an overall pass?¶
No. Write passed paths and unverified scope separately. A visible page is not the same as every feature passing.
Result¶
You get a manual operation record with an explicit scope, instead of checking every box by default.
