hifi-receiver (Hive-RSI-Lab)ECADConfidence: Medium

Regenerating the CPL turned D8, D9 and four capacitors 180 degrees and moved two connectors 0.79 mm. A kelvin check is waived. "hwde's bottom-side rule isn't from JLC, so JLC's preview check stays in ORDERING.md," which means a manual step at the fab stays. Not tried on hardware.
