+"""PM_K-1 interconnects (SKiDL): digital ribbon + analog header + MIDI header + USB-C sub-block.
+
+Run INSIDE the EDA container:
+    cd hardware/eda && ./run.sh python3 ../eda/circuits/interconnect.py
+Outputs ERC + hardware/kicad/interconnect.net.
+
+Maps the named board nets onto the physical connectors (pinouts per DESIGN.md s7):
+  J3 digital ribbon (2x13, Pico-pinout) -- display SPI, touch I2C, joystick ADC, buttons,
+     LED, panel-switch inputs, SIG/CLIP LED lines, power.
+  J4 analog header (2x5) -- balanced out hot/cold, shield, balanced in hot/cold, speaker.
+  J5 MIDI header (1x8) -- OUT/IN/THRU loops + 5V + GND (used only if DNP MIDI fitted).
+  J1 USB-C receptacle + USBLC6-2SC6 ESD + CC pulldowns. D+/D- come from the core's 27R
+     series (USB_DP_CONN/USB_DM_CONN); VBUS feeds the power tree.
+
+USB_C_Receptacle = authoritative KiCad symbol (24-pin; SS pins unused for USB2.0). If a
+16-pin USB2.0 connector (GCT USB4085, in BOM) is used, swap symbol+footprint at layout.
+USBLC6-2SC6 hand-defined to the standard ST SOT-23-6 pinout (I/O1=1,6 / GND=2 / I/O2=3,4 /
+VBUS=5) -- confirm at layout.
