A gf180 LDO schematic mixes ppolyf_u_1k and ppolyf_u_3k resistors, which the PDK cannot build on one die, and it surfaced only when the first block went through DRC/LVS. All three ppolyf flavours are the same drawn device, and the LVS deck picks one name and sheet resistance for the whole run, so the circuit can never LVS-match any layout. The thread has 27 comments since September, and the repo is run by an agent fleet.

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
