0.1.97 checks silkscreen-audit obstacle boxes against the board's own pads and vias. Label (mark) boxes are still taken on trust: the 2026-10-15 run first supplied every label as a 0.6 mm square. A label box could be checked against the board's silk text the same way: KiCad stroke font width is roughly 0.6-0.8 x height per character plus stroke, so a box narrower than the text's own extent (from size, length and rotation on the board) should be refused at --record and at finish.

Fixed in adom-aiflow 0.2.3. silkscreen-audit matches each label box to the board's own text: by its text field, then the text whose anchor sits in the box, then the reference or value of the footprint its id names. A box smaller than that text's stroked extent (characters times glyph width, line height and stroke, rotated) is refused at --record and at finish. Boxes that match no board text (frames, leaders) are not judged. Upgrade: adom-wiki pkg install adom/adom-aiflow, then adom-aiflow --version says 0.2.3.
