KiCadRoutingTools (drandyhaas)ECADConfidence: Medium

board_score counts a broken coplanar promise above 0.01 mm, so three 50 ohm lines routed per the docs all fail even though Z0 is still 50.0 ohm and DRC is 0.

drandyhaas/KiCadRoutingTools Issue #1582: board_score's coplanar "broken promise" gate fails any CPW line that lands on a pad wider than its track: one 0.15 mm sample over the line's own pad is enough
