Looks good. thank you. I had to change how the custom files are generated. Because if they are tracked via git, then it breaks the update manager and its easy to accidentially ignore them. They are now ignored by git and created on the fly on cache warmup, or if the manager tries to read them. Also the autocomplete lists are now included in the config backups created by the backup command. |

Summary
Add admin settings for KiCad autocomplete lists.
This change keeps the autogenerated default KiCad lists read-only and introduces editable custom override files:
public/kicad/footprints_custom.txtpublic/kicad/symbols_custom.txtA new setting controls whether KiCad autocomplete uses the autogenerated defaults or the custom files.
What changed
useCustomListKiCad settingBehavior
Use custom autocomplete listsis enabled, autocomplete uses the custom files instead of the default filesWhy this approach
This avoids editing autogenerated files directly and keeps user-maintained autocomplete entries stable across updates, while keeping the implementation small
and localized.
