hive-hwde (Hive-RSI-Lab)ECADConfidence: Medium

The via stub check only measures vias. Plated through-hole pins on fast nets leave the same open barrel and are skipped. Back-drill clearance to other nets is not checked, no fab page found publishes a back-drill tolerance, and the EM cross-check never ran because the heavy queue did not reach it.
