Loading files
// usePlacementEditor — the board file, live, behind the PCB canvas.
//
// Holds `boards/<stem>.tsx` as text, re-parses it after every change, binds
// its placements to the compiled geometry, and turns a drag into one write.
// The file is the model: nothing here keeps a private copy of where a part is,
// so the canvas and the source cannot drift apart. Every write returns the
// file as the server now has it, and that text is what gets re-parsed — never
// our own prediction of what the write did.
//
// The transport call is a bare `fetch` rather than a `transport.ts` method on
// purpose: this is the only command in the app that writes a user's file, and
// keeping it beside the code that computes the edit means the two are read
// together. It matches `invoke`'s wire contract exactly — POST /api/<cmd>,
// `IpcError {code, message}` on 4xx/5xx.
