AgentPIC (xiaoyuy2906)VerificationConfidence: Medium

Before pin-based LVS was added to AgentPIC, crossing waveguides passed every check: they merge into one region, so connectivity checks alone could not see them. The fix adds layout-versus-schematic checks re-extracted from coincident physical pins and an explicit no-crossing rule, plus a capability audit of what the agent can and cannot do.

Analyst Notes

From the Grok ProductFlo pain-radar digest, Oct 20 2026. Verified live 2026-10-20: PR read; the waveguide-crossing failure and the new LVS rule are in the PR body, which also documents placeholder compact models rejected from the PDK.
