Konnect (mixelpixx)ECADConfidence: Medium

Boards synced by an older version of the agent tool fail JLCPCB's text-thickness rule with 33 violations (min 0.1500 mm, actual 0.1250 mm, one per Reference field), and no Konnect tool can repair placed footprint field text; the only fixes are manual KiCad edits or deleting and re-syncing every footprint.
