A 10k pot exports with blank Value and Comment, even though max_resistance 10000 is in the Circuit JSON. When a part resolver supplies a part number, Value falls back to the supplier number instead of the resistance. The PR adds two failing tests and does not fix the converter yet.

Analyst note

From the Grok pain-radar digests, Nov 10-11 2026 (Nov 10 8:41 AM ET through Nov 11 7:41 AM ET digests plus the Haitch editions). Verified live 2026-11-11: issue/PR read; title and state confirmed.

What it costs a team

Modeled annual cost

$30,000

For a team of 5

Prototype delay

3 days

Modeled schedule slip per occurrence

Time lost

240 min

Per engineer per month, about 1 incidents

How the cost is modeled

240 min/month × 5 engineers × 12 months = 240 hours × $125/hour = $30,000
