The RMK docs already point at 'rmkit layout' for turning an existing KLE or Vial layout into a keyboard.toml's [layout] section. The conversion engine lives upstream in the rynk-kle crate (which round-trips its output through RMK's own layout builder, so the result is guaranteed to build); this adds the CLI over it: - 'rmkit layout convert <kle|vial.json>' emits the [layout] section, with -o to write a file and --to-vial for the reverse direction - 'rmkit layout show <keyboard.toml|vial.json|kle>' renders the physical layout as box-drawing art: shared borders merge into junctions, two-rect ISO/big-ass Enter keys draw as their union silhouette, encoders get rounded corners, and --variant picks one [[layout.variant]] - CLI tests with golden fixtures (corne, BAlice65, ANSI60 split backspace, raw KLE exports with and without row,col legends) A character grid cannot draw rotation, so rotated keys render axis-aligned with the angle printed inside.

rmkit layoutfor turning an existing KLE or Vial layout into akeyboard.toml's[layout]section. The conversion engine lives upstream in therynk-klecrate (which round-trips its output through RMK's own layout builder, so the result is guaranteed to build); this PR is the CLI over it.showaccepts akeyboard.toml, avial.json, or a raw KLE export (converted on the fly), and--variantpicks one[[layout.variant]]. The renderer draws every box edge into a per-cell direction bitmask, so shared borders merge into proper junctions, two-rect ISO / big-ass Enter keys draw as their union silhouette, and encoders get rounded corners. A character grid cannot draw rotation, so rotated keys render axis-aligned with the angle printed inside.Tests: unit snapshots for the renderer plus CLI integration tests against golden fixtures (corne, BAlice65, ANSI60 split backspace, and raw KLE exports with and without
