OpenROAD (The-OpenROAD-Project)ECADConfidence: Medium

Since a change merged Oct 24, detailed_route starts at iteration 3 when DRC markers exist, skipping iterations 0-2 that route nets with guides but no wires; in an ECO flow after repair_design or repair_antennas, ripped-up nets are never routed while the command "reports 0 violations and returns normally".
