This looks amazing. I'm going to give this a try later.

If I have a DXF or something of the outline of something (a PCB in this case) can I import it and build around it somehow?

Only step import at the moment. I'll add svg next.

My particular immediate use case would be to export the board outline and mounting holes from a kicad project (SVG or DXF, whatever works) and build a chassis for it. Obviously I can do this in freecad but I've been looking for an intuitive cad-as-code system to check into git instead. So this would be awesome!

While not code as CAD, Dune 3D has the creation of enclosures for electronics projects as its _raison d’être_, and has a facility for Python scripting:
