KiCAD-Prism (krishna-swaroop)ECADConfidence: Medium

A fitted part with neither an MPN nor an LCSC number was never stored as a BOM line. On a USB-PD trigger board, connector J2 disappeared, and the supply page showed '17 of 17 lines', 100% coverage and '10 of 10 boards' buildable. The fix counts it as unchecked, so coverage now reads 94%.
