copperhead (copperheadhq)ECADConfidence: Medium

The agent's finish gate wanted zero ERC and DRC violations. On LibreSolar's BMS C1, an imported board with 368 ERC findings and 168 DRC findings, the requested rename ended "stalled" and was rolled back. The fix records ERC and DRC before the first edit and only fails on findings the run added. Any agent working on a real, inherited design needs to know what the design looked like before it touched it.
