Trace Overlap Solver Implementation

  • Implemented optimal path finding for parallel trace overlaps
  • Added smart shifting algorithm to minimize trace crossings
  • Developed visualization system for debugging and verification
  • Added support for terminal segment jogging to maintain connectivity

Key Features

  • Intelligent trace shifting that minimizes crossings and path length
  • Visual debugging system:
    • Original traces shown in gray
    • Overlap detection with red highlights
    • Corrected traces displayed in blue dashed lines
  • Terminal segment preservation with automatic jog insertion
  • Optimal path recalculation after applying shifts

Testing & Validation

  • Added comprehensive test cases for parallel trace scenarios
  • Created example page demonstrating overlap resolution
  • Validated visualization in multiple test cases
  • All tests passing with new implementation

Additional Changes

  • Fixed dependency conflict with graphics-debug peer requirement
  • Downgraded bun-match-svg to ^0.0.9 to match peer dependency
  • Ensures clean npm install without force flags
