Objective

Make direct editing first-class so users can build and modify schematics without touching raw JSON.

Scope

Add component/pin/net property editors with immediate visual feedback.
Add connect/disconnect pin workflows with net creation/merge/split UX.
Improve multi-select, box-select, alignment/distribute, and bulk operations.
Keep JSON synchronized as a generated artifact with clear change provenance.

Acceptance Criteria

Core edit loop (place, wire, rename, reroute, rotate, isolate) is fully UI-driven.
Pin-level net label visibility and pin properties are editable from inspector.
Multi-select operations are reliable and undo/redo-safe.
User can export JSON that exactly reflects canvas state.

Completed in commit 486092e.

Delivered:

Added direct left-pane quick-create workflows for components and nets (no JSON editing required).
New component flow supports built-in generic parts with auto-ref generation when ref is omitted.
New net flow supports class selection, auto-name fallback, and optional immediate connect when a pin is selected.
Kept compile/selection/history state synchronized with UI-driven edits.
Added browser QA coverage for the quick-create flows and refreshed visual baselines.

Validation:

node --check frontend/app.js
node --check tests/ui-regression-runner.js
npm test
npm run test:ui:update-baselines
npm run test:ui
