 **Implementation:** `mods/sdk/kindred_sdk/` package with wrappers for editing contexts, theme tokens, FileOrigin registration, and dock panel creation. YAML-driven palette system (`palettes/catppuccin-mocha.yaml`) replaces hardcoded color dicts that were duplicated across 5+ locations.
 
-**Migration:** Both ztools and Silo have been migrated to use the SDK (#250). No addon code calls `FreeCADGui.registerEditingOverlay()`, `FreeCADGui.addOrigin()`, or defines hardcoded MOCHA dicts directly.
+**Migration:** Silo has been migrated to use the SDK (#250) — it declares `<dependency>sdk</dependency>` and uses `kindred_sdk` for overlay registration and theme tokens. ztools has **not yet been migrated**: its `package.xml` lacks `<kindred>` metadata and its `InitGui.py` does not import from `kindred_sdk`. See KNOWN_ISSUES.md next step #9.

-6. **Assembly solver datum handling is minimal.** The `findPlacement()` fix in `src/Mod/Assembly/UtilsAssembly.py` extracts placement from `obj.Shape.Faces[0]` for `PartDesign::Plane` and from shape vertex for `PartDesign::Point`. Does not handle empty shapes or non-planar datum objects.
+6. **Assembly solver datum handling is minimal.** `UtilsAssembly.findPlacement()` handles standard shapes (faces, edges, vertices) and `App::Line` origin objects. It does not extract placement from `PartDesign::Plane` or `PartDesign::Point` datum objects — when no element is selected, it returns a default `App.Placement()`. This means assembly joints referencing datum planes/points may produce incorrect placement.
