Add _pull_dependencies() that fetches BOM children and downloads missing files to canonical paths before an assembly document is opened, so PropertyXLink references resolve correctly. - Create _pull_dependencies(): iterates BOM, fetches canonical item description via get_item(), downloads latest file revision for each missing child - Modify open_item(): detect assembly item_type and call _pull_dependencies() before opening - Silo_Open: prefer open_item() when part_number is available so assemblies opened from search results also pull dependencies - Silo_Pull: pull dependencies with progress dialog after main file download completes, before reopening the document Closes #337
Kindred Silo

- Revision tracking with append-only history
- BOM management with reference designators and alternates
- Physical inventory tracking with hierarchical locations
