An AI-assisted mains carrier board v2 was ordered with nothing assembled or tested, and the docs tell people not to build it. The build now stops on any isolation error and on any custom DRC rule that fails to fire on a known-bad copy. design.py and build_all.py still describe v1, so the generator and the ordered board disagree.
