Description

Feature request to render castellated holes (plated half-holes) correctly. In KiCad, plated holes which intersect the board outline are assumed to be castellated holes and are rendered correctly. The interactive BOM doesn't currently render these correctly.

Research direction

Start by tracing how the interactive BOM renders plated holes and applies the board outline, then compare that behavior with KiCad's treatment of holes intersecting the outline. Use the supplied castellated-hole examples as the expected result; done means plated half-holes render correctly in the generated BOM.
