Wired all 78 switches into a full diode matrix — row diode chains on one net, column lines threading down through each switch, clean and fully connected, no shorts. Also locked the physical layout: 75% ANSI, 78 keys, mapped out in KLE.
Next: get the Pico onto the schematic and wire ROW0–5 / COL0–13 into it.
