Main was red on a test no CI job ran. The committed supply-capability report was last written Oct 31. Two commits on Nov 1 changed its inputs, one rewrote the power budget and one adopted new resistor and capacitor parts for Board B. The report's computed values turned out unchanged, only its two input hashes were stale, but nobody knew until someone ran the test by hand. The PR adds the gate to CI and the local pre-push script. A derived engineering report that can drift from its inputs with no alarm.

Analyst note
From the Grok pain-radar digests, Nov 11-12 2026 (Nov 11 8:41 AM ET through Nov 12 5:41 AM ET digests plus the Haitch editions). Verified live 2026-11-12: 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

- Three power scripts call 1.2, 0.8 and 0.5 A rated while the accepted contract says 1.7, 1.6 and 0.3 A continuous.ECAD · impact 74
- A board revision lacked thermal spreading at three parts and had a decoupling cap far from its IC, and the reports were not bound to the actual copper. The PR binds current, loop, thermal and power reports to the native copper, rejects stale evidence or changed manufacturing geometry, and keeps a retired 15 V power story out of the PD20 exports.ECAD · impact 66
