Adds a CLI.md section for the previously undocumented `tsci simulate` command: the `analog` subcommand, accepted inputs (.tsx or circuit JSON), the build -> SPICE -> ngspice -> table pipeline, the --disable-parts-engine flag, and an output-column reference. The example table is real output captured from running the command against an RC test circuit.

What
Adds a dedicated section to
CLI.mddocumentingtsci simulate, which was previously undocumented in the skill primer.Covers:
tsci simulate analog <file>— runs an analog SPICE simulation; notes thatanalogis currently the onlysimulatesubcommand..tsxsource or a circuit JSON file.--disable-parts-engineflag.Index,time,v(...)node-voltage probes,i(...)current probes, in exponential notation.Example output
The sample table is real, not hand-written — it was captured by running
tsci simulate analogagainst an RC test circuit, so the column names and formatting match actual CLI output. The section also notes that ngspice prints diagnostic info ahead of the table.Why
simulateis exposed by the CLI but had no entry in the primer, so agents and users had no reference for the command, its input formats, its flag, or how to read the output table.
