Run in a real project, the agentic test hit three bugs. The proof step called itself, but the call only runs when kicad-cli is present, so a machine without kicad-cli never hits it and the test passed. Once the KiCad proof ran, it flagged pin names drawn over each other because the symbol body was a fixed 12.7 mm. The handoff stage always created board 1 and failed in any project that already had one.

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
