macOS is now field-tested and working; the README platform notes say
so instead of untested. Linux remains audited-only.

## Setup (one-time)
The plugin is developed and tested on **Windows**. **Linux and macOS
are expected to work but are untested so far** — the code and the
dependency stack have been audited for all three OSes (KiCad builds
the plugin a private Python venv from `requirements.txt` on every
platform, from pre-built wheels only, no compiler needed), but nobody
has run the plugin there yet. Reports welcome! Steps 1–4 are the same
everywhere; OS specifics are spelled out per step and in *Platform
notes* below.

- **Windows** is the development and test platform — everything in
this README was exercised here. KiCad's bundled Python is 3.13, so
the venv gets the current dependency stack.
- **macOS** — **untested** (audited only: dependency wheels, paths and
Python-version compatibility were checked, the plugin was never run
on a Mac). Requires macOS 12+ (KiCad's own minimum; Intel and Apple
Silicon — the dmg is universal). KiCad's bundled Python is **3.9**,
so pip resolves an older stack (numpy 2.0, scipy 1.13,
matplotlib 3.9, PySide6 6.9/6.10) that the plugin code is kept
compatible with. Expect plot and dialog windows to open **behind**
the KiCad window (they are raised best-effort) — check the Dock if
nothing seems to appear after a solve.

an older stack (numpy 2.0, scipy 1.13, matplotlib 3.9,
PySide6 6.9/6.10); the plugin code is kept 3.9-compatible (guarded
by a test) and the suite is also run against that older stack.
Plot and dialog windows may open **behind** the KiCad window (they
are raised best-effort) — check the Dock if nothing seems to appear
after a solve.
- **Linux** — **untested** (audited only, same caveat). The venv uses
the system Python (3.9+), so the stack matches your distribution.
On **ARM64 (aarch64)** there are no pyamg wheels —
