copperline (iamdarshg)MCADConfidence: Medium

The synthetic routing corpus generator puts different-net pads on top of each other (0.28 mm and 0.32 mm overlaps) before routing starts. The harness records input_legal but still counts those boards, so invalid inputs show up as router failures in the metrics.
