Summary

Implements a DecouplingCapsPackingSolver that arranges decoupling capacitors in a clean horizontal row, resolving the messy layout shown in issue #15.

Before: Generic PackSolver2 packing scatters decoupling caps in a 2D cluster with inconsistent orientations.

After: Caps are arranged in a clean left-to-right horizontal row (matching the "official layout" image in the issue) — all at rotation 0, evenly spaced, centered at the partition origin. Their y+/y- pins align along the same horizontal power/ground rail for clean routing.

Changes

  • lib/solvers/PackInnerPartitionsSolver/DecouplingCapsPackingSolver.ts — new solver: sorts caps by ID, places them in a horizontal row centered at x=0, respects decouplingCapsGap over chipGap when set
  • lib/solvers/PackInnerPartitionsSolver/PackInnerPartitionsSolver.ts — dispatches to DecouplingCapsPackingSolver for partitionType === \"decoupling_caps\" partitions
  • tests/PackInnerPartitionsSolver/DecouplingCapsPackingSolver.test.ts — 5 unit tests (single cap, row ordering, centering, gap config, visualization)
  • tests/PackInnerPartitionsSolver/DecouplingCapsIntegration.test.ts — 2 integration tests verifying the full LayoutPipelineSolver pipeline with a synthetic MCU + caps circuit

Test plan

  • All 7 new tests pass (bun test tests/PackInnerPartitionsSolver/)
  • All pre-existing tests still pass — no regressions (bun test)
  • LayoutPipelineSolver04 test still passes (ExampleCircuit04 with decoupling caps)
  • Caps in a decoupling_caps partition are placed in a sorted horizontal row
  • decouplingCapsGap is respected over chipGap
  • Row is centered at x=0 (tested with 4-cap circuit)
  • All caps have valid placements in full pipeline integration test

/claim #15

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Closes #15

Implements a specialized packing solver for decoupling capacitor partitions
(partitionType === "decoupling_caps"). Instead of using the generic PackSolver2
algorithm which can produce messy scattered layouts, caps are arranged in a
clean horizontal row — matching the "official layout" style shown in issue tscircuit#15.

Changes:
- Add DecouplingCapsPackingSolver: arranges caps left-to-right in a row,
  centered at x=0, all at rotation 0 so y+/y- pins align along a horizontal
  power/ground rail. Respects decouplingCapsGap over chipGap when set.
- Update PackInnerPartitionsSolver to dispatch to DecouplingCapsPackingSolver
  for decoupling_caps partitions instead of the generic solver.
- Add 5 unit tests for DecouplingCapsPackingSolver (placement, centering,
  gap config, visualization).
- Add 2 integration tests verifying the full LayoutPipelineSolver pipeline
  correctly identifies and lays out decoupling cap groups.

Closes tscircuit#15

A member of the Team first needs to authorize it.

Expand inline object literals to multi-line and collapse short .map()
call to single line to satisfy biome formatter requirements.

The format-check failure has been fixed in the latest push.

The remaining test failure is a pre-existing issue on the main branch — tests/IdentifyDecouplingCapsSolver/IdentifyDecouplingCapsSolver06.test.ts crashes with:

SyntaxError: Export named 'convertCircuitJsonToSchematicSimulationSvg' not found in module '.../circuit-to-svg/dist/index.js'

This test was already failing on main before this PR (see: main branch CI). It is unrelated to the DecouplingCapsPackingSolver changes in this PR — all 7 new tests pass, and no existing passing tests regressed.
