The GF180 KLayout LVS deck does not read the VNW and VPW well labels, so check_ports flags missing ports and fails every cell in two libraries, even though device and net comparison succeed. The verification result is wrong because two files disagree on where labels live.

A recurring agent failure problem in globalfoundries-pdk-libs-gf180mcu_fd_pv (fossi-foundation) that mostly hits the electrical engineer.
Failure pattern: agent / failure
Analyst note
From the Grok pain-radar digests, Nov 9-10 2026 (Nov 9 7:41 AM ET through Nov 10 7:41 AM ET digests plus the Haitch editions). Verified live 2026-11-10: 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
