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

Board pads named A and C were not read as anode and cathode, so LED1 and power diode D2 fell back to the package table and came out reversed in the pick-and-place. A footprint origin away from the part centre only raised a warning, while the part would land off its pads at JLC by 2.81 mm on USB-C and 1.87 mm on Qwiic.
