Can someone review my schematic and PCB?
For point 1, are you sure you're using the latest KiCad version? I know there was a bug in de software before, which caused this exact problem. But that's already from a long time ago: https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/6447

KiCad Project Makefile
The first thing of thought of with kicad-cli is a Makefile include. It's developed into kicad-makefile. It does everything I want, except DRC/ERC but hopefully that will come. Perhaps others on here will find it useful and can contribute. See the README for info on how to use it and integrate with GitHub actions.

Not sure if the devs watch these forums, but if you want this issue solved I recommend raising the issue on Gitlab https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues (where the devs will definately see your bug report)

Just a simple plugin to create rounded rectangles
If you're really using the nightly build, you might not need that plugin. https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/4742 seems to have a patch for that already. However it's targeted at kicad 8.0

CI/CD with KiCad and Gitlab
I found KiBot configuration a bit overwhelming and with the addition of the ‘kicad-cli’ tool in KiCad 7 made a Makefile based runner: https://github.com/tuna-f1sh/kicad-makefile
It allows for a build that is closer to the vanilla KiCad GUI experience and can be built locally with the normal install using ‘make’ - something I wanted.
