4k7 (hoihu)ECADConfidence: Medium

On a real RP2040 board, six supply symbols stood in one column with a +1V1 stem running along a +3V3 stem, which read like a short. The in-app agent answered that fixing it needs symbol moves this run does not allow, and tried nothing. The fix changes both the drawing logic and what the agent is told about automatic symbols.
