Edge.Cuts joints off by 6 um, 33 nm and 23 nm. KiCad tolerates it, KiKit rejects the outline as discontinuous, so the board could not be panelized for JLCPCB. The 6 um move also left a stale pour fill and two copper-edge clearance errors.

OpenWheel (xlazam01)ECADAgent failureMedium confidence

What engineers report

A recurring agent failure problem in OpenWheel (xlazam01) that mostly hits the electrical engineer.

Failure pattern: validation / failure

Analyst note

From the Grok pain-radar digests, Nov 8-9 2026 (Nov 8 8:41 AM ET through Nov 9 6:41 AM ET digests plus the Haitch editions). Verified live 2026-11-09: issue/PR read; title and state confirmed.

What it costs a team

Modeled annual cost

$30,000

For a team of 5

Prototype delay

3 days

Modeled schedule slip per occurrence

Time lost

240 min

Per engineer per month, about 1 incidents

How the cost is modeled

240 min/month × 5 engineers × 12 months = 240 hours × $125/hour = $30,000

A modeled estimate with medium confidence. Swap in your own team size and loaded rate to size it for your team.
