Recurring BLPL (CK-Consulting) errors, by impact

  1. 1"Every fab's quote form asks for copper weight, laminate, Tg, mask and silk colour, gold fingers, via protection, castellation" and minimum trace/space/drill. "None of the quoting sites read any of it from a KiCad project, so it was retyped by hand for every order or silently left to the fab's default." They added a fabrication block to project.yaml that writes the KiCad stackup and a board-specs.md into every release package.ECAD · Agent failure · 1 report74
  2. 2A repair pass rerouted a 50 ohm RF net onto B.Cu with 22 mm of track and four vias because it used its own layer list instead of the caller's.ECAD · Agent failure · 1 report74
  3. 3kicad-cli pcb export odb defaults to precision 2, two decimal places of a millimetre. On their test board that moved a pad. They now force --precision 6 in the release package builder alongside CircuitHub packaging. A fab handoff file that looks complete but isn't the board.ECAD · Agent failure · 1 report74
  4. 4Follow-up to #98. With mask or silk set to none, the gerbers dropped those layers, but kicad-cli's ODB++ export takes no layer selection and the native project (what CircuitHub reads) still had them enabled. A fab reading either would see mask while board-specs.md said none. Three handoff files, three answers.ECAD · Agent failure · 1 report66
