The silo submodule was split from a monorepo into three repos: `silo-client` (shared Python API client), `silo-mod` (FreeCAD workbench, used as Create's submodule), and `silo-calc` (LibreOffice Calc extension). The `silo-mod` repo includes `silo-client` as its own submodule.

OndselSolver is forked from `github.com/FreeCAD/OndselSolver` to carry a Newton-Raphson convergence fix.

The ztools addon was removed from the build (#344) and archived to `reference/ztools/` (#345) as part of the UI/UX rework (#346). Its commands will be reimplemented through the KCSDK system.
