A 4-layer ESP32-S3 camera board with 81 parts driven through JLC EDA Pro with an agent skill took about 25 stages and 40 temporary scripts to reach native DRC 0, with GND stitching sealing off camera signal nets until torn out, the autorouter fallback timing out with leftover segments, and copper ops not deduplicated after an interruption.
