- Fix FreeCAD Push command: compare local file mtime against server's latest file revision timestamp instead of just checking file existence. Previously, any file already uploaded (even at an older revision) was skipped, causing 'All local files are already uploaded' when local files were newer. - Add SiloClient.latest_file_revision() helper method - Renumber 009_item_extended_fields.sql to 010 to avoid collision with 009_auth.sql from the auth system
Kindred Silo

Overview
Kindred Silo is an R&D-oriented item database with:
- Configurable part number generation via YAML schemas
- FreeCAD integration with git-like commands (checkout, commit, status)
- Revision tracking with append-only history
- BOM management with reference designators and alternates
- Physical inventory tracking with hierarchical locations
