The CSB3 board pads now carry HD34 cavity numbers, taken from page 4 of the ECUMaster CAN Switch Board V3 manual (v2.1) and pre-approved by the owner. The harness master still has the old guessed cavities, and the PR warns not to build the CSB3 plug from the master until that lands.

- A car wiring harness project run by agent sessions needed eight drift fixes after a session start: stale rules repeated in AGENTS.md, a retired drawing exception still listed, and a BOM unpriced count recounted to 81 real part numbers and 41 TBD. The four harness generators exist only in another session cloud scratchpad, not in the repo.PLM · impact 66
