freerouting (freerouting)ECADConfidence: Medium

Follow-up to last hour #1067. Feeding each board KiCad minimum track width to the router as a neck width takes the 56 near-miss boards from 14 fully routed to 32. The value had to be read straight from the .kicad_pcb because the Specctra file never carries it.
