The repo schematic, board and parts database listed the wrong I2C buffer and the wrong connector for boards already being built at JLC, while the CN1 LCSC part was a DF13A-5P against a DF11 footprint. The as-ordered BOM and CPL had to be force-added because csv files are gitignored, and four rotation overrides live in a README.
Recurring agent failure issue in solar_boards (proveskit)
What engineers report
A recurring agent failure problem in solar_boards (proveskit) 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.
