@rushabhcodes It would be good for us if a new contributor wants to work on it. We should encourage and help them instead of blocking them. That will motivate more people to contribute and benefit the project in the long run.. |

Summary
Fixes incorrect SMT pad geometry in KiCad boolean-difference visualizations.
Problem
The boolean-difference converter treated SMT pads with width and height as plain rectangles. This caused:
roundrectpads to lose their corner radiusChanges
corner_radiusvaluesImpact
Boolean-difference snapshots now accurately represent real KiCad pad geometry, making footprint parity regressions easier to detect and trust.
Verification
