The GNSS patch keep-out on L4 prohibits pour and vias but lets tracks through, so the patch power leaves through L4 from the 2.2 mm pad. A KiCad keep-out cannot filter by net.
Recurring agent failure issue in sport-performance (mgiachetti)
What engineers report
A recurring agent failure problem in sport-performance (mgiachetti) 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.

- A KiCad schematic generated from a declarative netlist is then re-read from geometry to prove it matches, with the check now a CI step. A side detail is that the pin electrical types of all 10 symbols from easyeda2kicad came all unspecified and had to be filled in by hand.ECAD · impact 66
- EasyEDA footprints checked pad by pad against datasheets were mostly off: the Quectel LC29H had 1.8 mm pads instead of 2.5, the Qorvo DWM3000 bottom row was 0.2 mm off with no antenna keep-out, and TI TPS22916C balls were 0.18 mm against TI's 0.23. Everything redrawn from datasheets is still marked not verified.ECAD · impact 66
- To quote a v0 board the author wrote bom_pcbway.py, which builds PCBWay and JLC BOMs, a DNP list, extras and per-part cost at 5, 10 and 100 boards from the netlist plus a parts CSV. Stock and lifecycle came from LCSC/JLCPCB APIs and DigiKey pages, TPS7A2032 has no LCSC stock, and the SOT-23 load-switch alternative needs a different footprint.ECAD · impact 66
