The author built an offline net graph from KiCad schematic geometry, wires, labels and hierarchical ports, without kicad-cli, and added checks for USB CC and data lines, dividers, capacitor derating, crystal vs PCB vs BOM, symbol vs footprint, pull-ups and firmware I2S pin use. Anything out of scope is reported as 'Not checked', and coverage never claims a design passed. Acceptance ran on eight pinned open-source boards, with ups-to-esp32 scoring 1 of 2.
Recurring agent failure issue in extrude (atireksd11)
What engineers report
A recurring agent failure problem in extrude (atireksd11) that mostly hits the electrical engineer.
Failure pattern: validation / geometry
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
A modeled estimate with medium confidence. Swap in your own team size and loaded rate to size it for your team.
