Recurring WeaveEngine (c28ba) errors, by impact

  1. 1On a 4-layer board, 27 pads got a fan-out via drilled into a locked via that was already there, with KiCad hole-to-hole check at 0.000 mm on 12 of them, even though every one of those pads was already joined to its plane. The fan-out step only counted other pads as a way to the plane, not the net existing locked wiring.ECAD · Agent failure · 1 report74
  2. 2The DSN reader only knew the keepout spelling, so vias landed in no-via areas on a 4-layer board because KiCad also writes via_keepout and wire_keepout.ECAD · Agent failure · 1 report74
  3. 3The natural command for a 4-layer board dropped inner layers and hid the planes: pours went from +3V3, +5V and GND on inner layers plus GND outer to the two outer GND pours only, and vias still went through inner layers whose locked copper had been thrown away. Same contributor as PR #3, each time the tool read only part of the board and routed confidently into the rest.ECAD · Agent failure · 1 report74
