Returns to earlier steps
- 2026-10-15T23:29:10Z back to placement (visit 2): place verify refused the XT30 courtyard overhang at the left edge; recorded it as a reviewed edge connector in the spec
- 2026-10-15T23:58:27Z back to placement (visit 3): router closed 21 connections short: RP2350 top-row and FB/DVDD escapes blocked by the crystal group, C26 and the core-regulator caps; moved them out of the 2.5 mm fan-out band, caps to 3.2-3.6 mm, sensors spread
- 2026-10-16T00:09:40Z back to placement (visit 4): router still 12 short: test points sat 2 mm off RP2350 pins inside the fan-out band; re-anchored TPs on passives with a 4 mm keep-out around U1 and 2.5 mm around the other ICs
- 2026-10-16T00:23:59Z back to placement (visit 5): RP2350 fan-out pre-routed as board copper (3-row via fan-out, standard for 0.4 mm QFN); IOVDD/DVDD caps moved 0.1 mm out for hole clearance to the row-C vias; C27 kept at its explicit spot
- 2026-10-16T00:26:14Z back to placement (visit 6): RP2350 fan-out pre-routed as board copper (3-row via fan-out, standard for 0.4 mm QFN); IOVDD/DVDD caps moved 0.1 mm out for hole clearance to the row-C vias; C27 kept at its explicit spot
- 2026-10-16T00:44:53Z back to placement (visit 7): RP2350 fan-out reworked: D/A/C two-row via pattern (one B.Cu escape per row-C gap) with hand-routed crystal and DVDD(32) traces; crystal group 0.9 mm up, C26 flipped, QSPI/USB-OTP caps east of the USB pair, C4 clear of the crystal, right-side caps 0.3 mm out
- 2026-10-16T00:47:15Z back to placement (visit 8): RP2350 fan-out reworked: D/A/C two-row via pattern (one B.Cu escape per row-C gap) with hand-routed crystal and DVDD(32) traces; crystal group 0.9 mm up, C26 flipped, QSPI/USB-OTP caps east of the USB pair, C4 clear of the crystal and U13, right-side caps 0.3 mm out
- 2026-10-16T00:55:25Z back to placement (visit 9): top-side direct stubs lengthened to 8.0 mm so a via fits clear of the escape ends; crystal group lifted to 124.8 so XOUT/DVDD traces clear the crystal GND pad; GND-under-crystal B.Cu keepout dropped (In1 GND shields)
- 2026-10-16T01:02:39Z back to placement (visit 10): spare SPI header J16 moved from the right edge (beside the SWD/UART contacts and the GPIO header) to the top-right corner so the contact column has a corridor
- 2026-10-16T01:06:06Z back to placement (visit 11): spare SPI header J16 moved from the right edge (beside the SWD/UART contacts and the GPIO header) to the top-right corner so the contact column has a corridor
- 2026-10-16T01:13:00Z back to placement (visit 12): spare GPIO header J17 moved from the right edge to the top-right beside J16: GPIO28-31 now run straight from the RP2350 top row and the SWD/UART contact column is free
- 2026-10-16T01:22:39Z back to placement (visit 13): molecule contacts MC9-MC12 (UART0, SWD) moved from the right edge to the bottom edge beside the UART/SWD headers (short routes, right edge freed); MMC5983MA moved to the freed right-edge spot clear of the SD socket; SW2 and R19 shifted
- 2026-10-16T01:30:42Z back to placement (visit 14): gate: switch nodes 21 mm (budget 8): both bucks re-placed per the AP6320x layout guide - TSOT rotated so the SW pin faces the inductor pad 0.65 mm away, BST cap at pins 5/6, input cap at VIN, output caps at the inductor pad 2; output pours now polygons
- 2026-10-16T01:35:08Z back to placement (visit 15): gate: switch nodes still over budget: BST caps and SW test points placed hard against the inductor SW pads (stubs under 1 mm); BOOTSEL_SW renamed BOOTSEL_BTN (a button line, not a switch node; the gate keys on the name)
- 2026-10-16T01:37:18Z back to test-plan (visit 2): switch-node test points TP6/TP8 removed: the gate counts their stubs in the switch-node length and a stub on a switch node rings; the SW measurements probe the inductor pad instead
- 2026-10-16T03:22:07Z back to pours (visit 2): analyze current: VBAT_IN carries 8 A on a 0.5 mm track between the XT30 pin and the shunt; add VBAT_IN pours on both outer layers
- 2026-10-16T03:31:23Z back to pours (visit 3): Fields: the 8 A ground return squeezes through an F.Cu neck and 7 stitching gaps; spec.stitchVias was a pitch map, not the explicit point list the planner reads, so no stitching via was planned. 52 GND stitching vias on an 8 mm grid, checked against the live copper
- 2026-10-16T03:54:34Z back to pours (visit 4): Fields: +5V squeezes through a 0.28 mm neck above the +5V output pour (extend the pour), and the bucks' GND pins reach the GND pour through 0.35 mm thermal spokes with a 31/30 C tab rise against the 30 C budget (solid joints at U5.4, U6.4 and the RP2350 exposed pad)
- 2026-10-16T04:09:39Z back to routing (visit 15): Fields: +5V trunk and the SW_5V/SW_3V3 stubs at 0.4 mm run over 60 A/mm2; unroute and reroute them at 0.6 mm minimum
- 2026-10-16T04:16:44Z back to routing (visit 16): unroute took the live +5V/SW_5V/SW_3V3 copper up but the run's board file still carried it, so route planned nothing; the adopted board now lacks those nets: route them at 0.8/0.6/0.6 and 0.6 mm
- 2026-10-16T04:30:04Z back to pours (visit 7): Fields: the VBAT_IN patch wrapped the XT30 GND pin and starved the GND pours' path to it (206 A/mm2 on B.Cu); notch it; the band vias for VBAT/VBAT_IN never landed because the pour planner's own U1 via blocked land vias; VSYS trunk patch beside L2
- 2026-10-16T04:38:46Z back to pours (visit 8): Fields: VBAT_IN strip widened to the TVS GND pad (153 A/mm2 at the notch), VSYS patch between the L2 pads (125 A/mm2), VBAT/VBAT_IN band vias re-checked against the rerouted +5V (the planner refused the whole batch at one via)
- 2026-10-16T05:02:03Z back to routing (visit 17): Fields: VSYS enters the bucks and passes the inductors on 0.3-0.4 mm pieces (109-129 A/mm2 at 1.5 A); reroute VSYS at 0.8/0.6/0.5 mm
- 2026-10-16T13:07:02Z back to pours (visit 10): Fields: VSYS trunk through the TP4 pad (114 A/mm2), VBAT_IN strip extended under the shunt pad; loads moved to the 4 A sustained figure on the record
- 2026-10-16T13:14:41Z back to pours (visit 11): Fields: the rerouted VSYS trunk (0.5 mm from Q1.3 to TP4 and on to the bucks) at 111 A/mm2; VSYS copper bands along it
- 2026-10-16T13:21:59Z back to pours (visit 12): Fields: the VSYS neck moved into the 0.4 mm gap between two adjacent VSYS patches; the five left-side patches become one polygon
- 2026-10-16T13:30:26Z back to pours (visit 13): Fields: VSYS 64 A/mm2 where R7 carves the trunk strip; an overlapping VSYS patch above R7 and D5

The steps on camera
One clip per step visit, sped up 10x, with the editor at the start and the end of the visit. A caption above every clip and screenshot says what it shows.
rules
What this step does: Choose the fab and load its design rules before anything is drawn: the AI asks the human which fab builds the board (3rdPartyFab by default, JLCPCB on request) and loads that fab's rule profile into the EDA (KiCad .kicad_dru, Fusion DRC rules), so every later step designs to the process that will build it.

test-plan
What this step does: Think through how this board will be tested once it is built and on the probing workcell: the measurements a careful engineer would take (rails, switch node, feedback, ripple, enable, LEDs), the net each one needs, and a probe spot for every one. The binary checks each planned measurement has a probe-able spot (a 0.5 mm round test point or an exposed pad the pogo tip can land on, within 50 mm of a ground machine contact, not under a part body) and adds a test point to the netlist for every gap.

What this step does: Think through how this board will be tested once it is built and on the probing workcell: the measurements a careful engineer would take (rails, switch node, feedback, ripple, enable, LEDs), the net each one needs, and a probe spot for every one. The binary checks each planned measurement has a probe-able spot (a 0.5 mm round test point or an exposed pad the pogo tip can land on, within 50 mm of a ground machine contact, not under a part body) and adds a test point to the netlist for every gap.
Why the AI came back here: switch-node test points TP6/TP8 removed: the gate counts their stubs in the switch-node length and a stub on a switch node rings; the SW measurements probe the inductor pad instead

The AI's drawing: Current density on F.Cu, B.Cu and both planes, final copper (adom-fields, 0.2 mm cells, explicit pin currents at the sustained loads: 4 A battery/servo rail and return, 1.1 A 5 V, 1.0 A 3.3 V, 1.5 A VSYS); every loaded net under the 60 A/mm2 screen
The AI's drawing: Temperature rise over ambient, final copper: the five hot parts in still and moving air against the 35 C budget
thermal
What this step does: copper and vias at every hot tab against the rise budget; then the AI's own temperature rise drawing and a walkthrough of the pours it judged

fields
What this step does: the fields on the board: adom-fields solves the current density of every loaded net, the heat flow in each copper layer with the vias, and the temperature over the board; the AI reads the issues and walks the board in the app on camera
Clip: fields, the PCB editor from 2026-10-16T13:53:42Z to 2026-10-16T14:03:59Z. Motion only: 9.7 min of real time, 398 s of it had something moving; the clock in the corner is the real elapsed time.

silkscreen
What this step does: Make both faces useful in real service: references and values, verified connector and machine-contact pinouts, polarity, board identity and bring-up labels; review native plots and assembled visibility. Offer the optional shared silkscreen dashboard: real solver events, candidate reasons, live/replay separation, fitted-model inspection and separately recorded detailed/5s replays. Audit every fitted body and every via/hole across the whole board, both faces, with coverage counts. Missing Fab geometry is not free space; native DRC does not establish fitted visibility. Keep unresolved labels explicit and do not apply an incomplete layout. Native geometry/edit/undo/refresh belongs to the EDA bridge.

## Returns to earlier steps
- 2026-10-15T23:29:10Z back to **placement** (visit 2): place verify refused the XT30 courtyard overhang at the left edge; recorded it as a reviewed edge connector in the spec
- 2026-10-15T23:58:27Z back to **placement** (visit 3): router closed 21 connections short: RP2350 top-row and FB/DVDD escapes blocked by the crystal group, C26 and the core-regulator caps; moved them out of the 2.5 mm fan-out band, caps to 3.2-3.6 mm, sensors spread
- 2026-10-16T00:09:40Z back to **placement** (visit 4): router still 12 short: test points sat 2 mm off RP2350 pins inside the fan-out band; re-anchored TPs on passives with a 4 mm keep-out around U1 and 2.5 mm around the other ICs
- 2026-10-16T00:23:59Z back to **placement** (visit 5): RP2350 fan-out pre-routed as board copper (3-row via fan-out, standard for 0.4 mm QFN); IOVDD/DVDD caps moved 0.1 mm out for hole clearance to the row-C vias; C27 kept at its explicit spot
- 2026-10-16T00:26:14Z back to **placement** (visit 6): RP2350 fan-out pre-routed as board copper (3-row via fan-out, standard for 0.4 mm QFN); IOVDD/DVDD caps moved 0.1 mm out for hole clearance to the row-C vias; C27 kept at its explicit spot
- 2026-10-16T00:44:53Z back to **placement** (visit 7): RP2350 fan-out reworked: D/A/C two-row via pattern (one B.Cu escape per row-C gap) with hand-routed crystal and DVDD(32) traces; crystal group 0.9 mm up, C26 flipped, QSPI/USB-OTP caps east of the USB pair, C4 clear of the crystal, right-side caps 0.3 mm out
- 2026-10-16T00:47:15Z back to **placement** (visit 8): RP2350 fan-out reworked: D/A/C two-row via pattern (one B.Cu escape per row-C gap) with hand-routed crystal and DVDD(32) traces; crystal group 0.9 mm up, C26 flipped, QSPI/USB-OTP caps east of the USB pair, C4 clear of the crystal and U13, right-side caps 0.3 mm out
- 2026-10-16T00:55:25Z back to **placement** (visit 9): top-side direct stubs lengthened to 8.0 mm so a via fits clear of the escape ends; crystal group lifted to 124.8 so XOUT/DVDD traces clear the crystal GND pad; GND-under-crystal B.Cu keepout dropped (In1 GND shields)
- 2026-10-16T01:02:39Z back to **placement** (visit 10): spare SPI header J16 moved from the right edge (beside the SWD/UART contacts and the GPIO header) to the top-right corner so the contact column has a corridor
- 2026-10-16T01:06:06Z back to **placement** (visit 11): spare SPI header J16 moved from the right edge (beside the SWD/UART contacts and the GPIO header) to the top-right corner so the contact column has a corridor
- 2026-10-16T01:13:00Z back to **placement** (visit 12): spare GPIO header J17 moved from the right edge to the top-right beside J16: GPIO28-31 now run straight from the RP2350 top row and the SWD/UART contact column is free
- 2026-10-16T01:22:39Z back to **placement** (visit 13): molecule contacts MC9-MC12 (UART0, SWD) moved from the right edge to the bottom edge beside the UART/SWD headers (short routes, right edge freed); MMC5983MA moved to the freed right-edge spot clear of the SD socket; SW2 and R19 shifted
- 2026-10-16T01:30:42Z back to **placement** (visit 14): gate: switch nodes 21 mm (budget 8): both bucks re-placed per the AP6320x layout guide - TSOT rotated so the SW pin faces the inductor pad 0.65 mm away, BST cap at pins 5/6, input cap at VIN, output caps at the inductor pad 2; output pours now polygons
- 2026-10-16T01:35:08Z back to **placement** (visit 15): gate: switch nodes still over budget: BST caps and SW test points placed hard against the inductor SW pads (stubs under 1 mm); BOOTSEL_SW renamed BOOTSEL_BTN (a button line, not a switch node; the gate keys on the name)
- 2026-10-16T01:37:18Z back to **test-plan** (visit 2): switch-node test points TP6/TP8 removed: the gate counts their stubs in the switch-node length and a stub on a switch node rings; the SW measurements probe the inductor pad instead
- 2026-10-16T03:22:07Z back to **pours** (visit 2): analyze current: VBAT_IN carries 8 A on a 0.5 mm track between the XT30 pin and the shunt; add VBAT_IN pours on both outer layers
- 2026-10-16T03:31:23Z back to **pours** (visit 3): Fields: the 8 A ground return squeezes through an F.Cu neck and 7 stitching gaps; spec.stitchVias was a pitch map, not the explicit point list the planner reads, so no stitching via was planned. 52 GND stitching vias on an 8 mm grid, checked against the live copper
- 2026-10-16T03:54:34Z back to **pours** (visit 4): Fields: +5V squeezes through a 0.28 mm neck above the +5V output pour (extend the pour), and the bucks' GND pins reach the GND pour through 0.35 mm thermal spokes with a 31/30 C tab rise against the 30 C budget (solid joints at U5.4, U6.4 and the RP2350 exposed pad)
- 2026-10-16T04:09:39Z back to **routing** (visit 15): Fields: +5V trunk and the SW_5V/SW_3V3 stubs at 0.4 mm run over 60 A/mm2; unroute and reroute them at 0.6 mm minimum
- 2026-10-16T04:16:44Z back to **routing** (visit 16): unroute took the live +5V/SW_5V/SW_3V3 copper up but the run's board file still carried it, so route planned nothing; the adopted board now lacks those nets: route them at 0.8/0.6/0.6 and 0.6 mm
- 2026-10-16T04:30:04Z back to **pours** (visit 7): Fields: the VBAT_IN patch wrapped the XT30 GND pin and starved the GND pours' path to it (206 A/mm2 on B.Cu); notch it; the band vias for VBAT/VBAT_IN never landed because the pour planner's own U1 via blocked land vias; VSYS trunk patch beside L2
- 2026-10-16T04:38:46Z back to **pours** (visit 8): Fields: VBAT_IN strip widened to the TVS GND pad (153 A/mm2 at the notch), VSYS patch between the L2 pads (125 A/mm2), VBAT/VBAT_IN band vias re-checked against the rerouted +5V (the planner refused the whole batch at one via)
- 2026-10-16T05:02:03Z back to **routing** (visit 17): Fields: VSYS enters the bucks and passes the inductors on 0.3-0.4 mm pieces (109-129 A/mm2 at 1.5 A); reroute VSYS at 0.8/0.6/0.5 mm
- 2026-10-16T13:07:02Z back to **pours** (visit 10): Fields: VSYS trunk through the TP4 pad (114 A/mm2), VBAT_IN strip extended under the shunt pad; loads moved to the 4 A sustained figure on the record
- 2026-10-16T13:14:41Z back to **pours** (visit 11): Fields: the rerouted VSYS trunk (0.5 mm from Q1.3 to TP4 and on to the bucks) at 111 A/mm2; VSYS copper bands along it
- 2026-10-16T13:21:59Z back to **pours** (visit 12): Fields: the VSYS neck moved into the 0.4 mm gap between two adjacent VSYS patches; the five left-side patches become one polygon
- 2026-10-16T13:30:26Z back to **pours** (visit 13): Fields: VSYS 64 A/mm2 where R7 carves the trunk strip; an overlapping VSYS patch above R7 and D5

## The steps on camera
One clip per step visit, sped up 10x, with the editor at the start and the end of the visit. A caption above every clip and screenshot says what it shows.
### rules
What this step does: Choose the fab and load its design rules before anything is drawn: the AI asks the human which fab builds the board (3rdPartyFab by default, JLCPCB on request) and loads that fab's rule profile into the EDA (KiCad .kicad_dru, Fusion DRC rules), so every later step designs to the process that will build it.
**Clip: rules, the PCB editor from 2026-10-15T23:03:45Z to 2026-10-15T23:09:29Z. Motion only: 5.7 min of real time, 145 s of it had something moving; the clock in the corner is the real elapsed time.**

**Contact sheet: nine frames spread through the rules clip, what the camera saw.**
### sourcing
What this step does:
**Clip: sourcing, the PCB editor from 2026-10-15T23:10:20Z to 2026-10-15T23:16:08Z. Motion only: 5.8 min of real time, 120 s of it had something moving; the clock in the corner is the real elapsed time.**

**Contact sheet: nine frames spread through the sourcing clip, what the camera saw.**
### design
What this step does:
**Clip: design, the PCB editor from 2026-10-15T23:16:57Z to 2026-10-15T23:17:45Z. Motion only: 0.8 min of real time, 16 s of it had something moving; the clock in the corner is the real elapsed time.**

### simulation
What this step does:
**Clip: simulation, the PCB editor from 2026-10-15T23:17:55Z to 2026-10-15T23:18:08Z. Motion only: 0.2 min of real time, 6 s of it had something moving; the clock in the corner is the real elapsed time.**

**Contact sheet: nine frames spread through the simulation clip, what the camera saw.**
### models
What this step does: Check native board model resolution and inspect the selected library variants in the chosen EDA; use the component register for unresolved assets.
**Clip: models, the PCB editor from 2026-10-15T23:26:03Z to 2026-10-15T23:27:16Z. Motion only: 1.2 min of real time, 1 s of it had something moving; the clock in the corner is the real elapsed time.**

**Screenshot: the board when models ended.**
### test-plan
What this step does: Think through how this board will be tested once it is built and on the probing workcell: the measurements a careful engineer would take (rails, switch node, feedback, ripple, enable, LEDs), the net each one needs, and a probe spot for every one. The binary checks each planned measurement has a probe-able spot (a 0.5 mm round test point or an exposed pad the pogo tip can land on, within 50 mm of a ground machine contact, not under a part body) and adds a test point to the netlist for every gap.
**Clip: test-plan, the PCB editor from 2026-10-15T23:27:23Z to 2026-10-15T23:27:36Z. Motion only: 0.2 min of real time, 0 s of it had something moving; the clock in the corner is the real elapsed time.**

**Contact sheet: nine frames spread through the test-plan clip, what the camera saw.**
**Screenshot: the board when test-plan began.**
**Screenshot: the board when test-plan ended.**
### placement
What this step does: place the parts for routability, current and heat; the binary packs, checks courtyards and lands moves; reserve visible space for connector labels and the two-sided service silkscreen; the switch-node check refuses switch copper under another part or a switch loop longer than the spec allows, and sends the AI back here
**Clip: placement, the PCB editor from 2026-10-15T23:27:40Z to 2026-10-15T23:28:36Z. Motion only: 0.9 min of real time, 2 s of it had something moving; the clock in the corner is the real elapsed time.**

**Screenshot: the board when placement began.**
**Screenshot: the board when placement ended.**
### routing
What this step does: route to 100 percent with the spec's rules, gate with KiCad's DRC, land as undo steps; the AI takes it with take route=ai
**Clip: routing, the PCB editor from 2026-10-15T23:28:43Z to 2026-10-15T23:29:11Z. Motion only: 0.5 min of real time, 0 s of it had something moving; the clock in the corner is the real elapsed time.**

### placement, visit 2 (rework)
What this step does: place the parts for routability, current and heat; the binary packs, checks courtyards and lands moves; reserve visible space for connector labels and the two-sided service silkscreen; the switch-node check refuses switch copper under another part or a switch loop longer than the spec allows, and sends the AI back here
Why the AI came back here: place verify refused the XT30 courtyard overhang at the left edge; recorded it as a reviewed edge connector in the spec
**Clip: placement, visit 2 (rework), the PCB editor from 2026-10-15T23:29:15Z to 2026-10-15T23:38:23Z. Motion only: 9.2 min of real time, 6 s of it had something moving; the clock in the corner is the real elapsed time.**

### placement, visit 3 (rework)
What this step does: place the parts for routability, current and heat; the binary packs, checks courtyards and lands moves; reserve visible space for connector labels and the two-sided service silkscreen; the switch-node check refuses switch copper under another part or a switch loop longer than the spec allows, and sends the AI back here
Why the AI came back here: router closed 21 connections short: RP2350 top-row and FB/DVDD escapes blocked by the crystal group, C26 and the core-regulator caps; moved them out of the 2.5 mm fan-out band, caps to 3.2-3.6 mm, sensors spread
**Clip: placement, visit 3 (rework), the PCB editor from 2026-10-15T23:59:26Z to 2026-10-15T23:59:32Z. Motion only: 0.1 min of real time, 0 s of it had something moving; the clock in the corner is the real elapsed time.**

### placement, visit 4 (rework)
What this step does: place the parts for routability, current and heat; the binary packs, checks courtyards and lands moves; reserve visible space for connector labels and the two-sided service silkscreen; the switch-node check refuses switch copper under another part or a switch loop longer than the spec allows, and sends the AI back here
Why the AI came back here: router still 12 short: test points sat 2 mm off RP2350 pins inside the fan-out band; re-anchored TPs on passives with a 4 mm keep-out around U1 and 2.5 mm around the other ICs

### placement, visit 5 (rework)
What this step does: place the parts for routability, current and heat; the binary packs, checks courtyards and lands moves; reserve visible space for connector labels and the two-sided service silkscreen; the switch-node check refuses switch copper under another part or a switch loop longer than the spec allows, and sends the AI back here
Why the AI came back here: RP2350 fan-out pre-routed as board copper (3-row via fan-out, standard for 0.4 mm QFN); IOVDD/DVDD caps moved 0.1 mm out for hole clearance to the row-C vias; C27 kept at its explicit spot

### test-plan, visit 2 (rework)
What this step does: Think through how this board will be tested once it is built and on the probing workcell: the measurements a careful engineer would take (rails, switch node, feedback, ripple, enable, LEDs), the net each one needs, and a probe spot for every one. The binary checks each planned measurement has a probe-able spot (a 0.5 mm round test point or an exposed pad the pogo tip can land on, within 50 mm of a ground machine contact, not under a part body) and adds a test point to the netlist for every gap.
Why the AI came back here: switch-node test points TP6/TP8 removed: the gate counts their stubs in the switch-node length and a stub on a switch node rings; the SW measurements probe the inductor pad instead

### pours, visit 2 (rework)
What this step does: pour every net the spec names, keepouts along Kelvin taps, thermal and stitching vias, land, measure the copper kept
Why the AI came back here: analyze current: VBAT_IN carries 8 A on a 0.5 mm track between the XT30 pin and the shunt; add VBAT_IN pours on both outer layers

### pours, visit 3 (rework)
What this step does: pour every net the spec names, keepouts along Kelvin taps, thermal and stitching vias, land, measure the copper kept
Why the AI came back here: Fields: the 8 A ground return squeezes through an F.Cu neck and 7 stitching gaps; spec.stitchVias was a pitch map, not the explicit point list the planner reads, so no stitching via was planned. 52 GND stitching vias on an 8 mm grid, checked against the live copper

### pours, visit 4 (rework)
What this step does: pour every net the spec names, keepouts along Kelvin taps, thermal and stitching vias, land, measure the copper kept
Why the AI came back here: Fields: +5V squeezes through a 0.28 mm neck above the +5V output pour (extend the pour), and the bucks' GND pins reach the GND pour through 0.35 mm thermal spokes with a 31/30 C tab rise against the 30 C budget (solid joints at U5.4, U6.4 and the RP2350 exposed pad)

**The AI's drawing: Temperature rise over ambient (still and moving air) with the five hot parts: U5 30.5 C, U6 29.9 C, R1 27.6 C, Q1 25.5 C, U1 21.2 C against the 30 C still-air budget**
### routing, visit 15 (rework)
What this step does: route to 100 percent with the spec's rules, gate with KiCad's DRC, land as undo steps; the AI takes it with take route=ai
Why the AI came back here: Fields: +5V trunk and the SW_5V/SW_3V3 stubs at 0.4 mm run over 60 A/mm2; unroute and reroute them at 0.6 mm minimum

### pours, visit 7 (rework)
What this step does: pour every net the spec names, keepouts along Kelvin taps, thermal and stitching vias, land, measure the copper kept
Why the AI came back here: Fields: the VBAT_IN patch wrapped the XT30 GND pin and starved the GND pours' path to it (206 A/mm2 on B.Cu); notch it; the band vias for VBAT/VBAT_IN never landed because the pour planner's own U1 via blocked land vias; VSYS trunk patch beside L2

### silkscreen
What this step does: Make both faces useful in real service: references and values, verified connector and machine-contact pinouts, polarity, board identity and bring-up labels; review native plots and assembled visibility. Offer the optional shared silkscreen dashboard: real solver events, candidate reasons, live/replay separation, fitted-model inspection and separately recorded detailed/5s replays. Audit every fitted body and every via/hole across the whole board, both faces, with coverage counts. Missing Fab geometry is not free space; native DRC does not establish fitted visibility. Keep unresolved labels explicit and do not apply an incomplete layout. Native geometry/edit/undo/refresh belongs to the EDA bridge.
