Work done
- Removed the stale orphan trace segments causing the floating-copper errors.
- Removed the dangling route remnants, including one additional dangling trace island exposed after the first cleanup pass.
- Re-ran the targeted DRC checks and confirmed 0 floating-copper and 0 dangling-trace findings.
- Updated the PCB Review project file with the cleanup actions and verified status.
- ✅ Zero floating-copper errors reported.
- ✅ Zero dangling-trace issues reported.
- ✅ PCB Review project file reflects the corrections and current DRC status.
The remaining fabrication blockers are outside this cleanup scope: floating-pin ERC warnings and missing MPN/BOM readiness items.

Summary
The first PCB cleanup pass is complete. The previously reported 5 floating-copper errors and 4 dangling-trace warnings were removed by disabling/removing the stale orphan trace segments reported by DRC. A second dangling-trace island appeared after the first cleanup pass and was also removed.
Current targeted DRC status for this cleanup scope: 0 floating-copper errors and 0 dangling-trace warnings.
Corrective Actions Completed

A follow-up DRC pass exposed one additional stale dangling trace island, which was also removed:

Verification
Targeted DRC was re-run for:
- Floating copper
- Dangling traces
Result at 2026-05-11 22:26:38 UTC: no remaining floating-copper or dangling-trace findings reported.
Remaining Work Outside This Cleanup Scope
The earlier review also identified other issues that still need separate attention before fabrication readiness, including ERC floating-pin warnings and BOM/MPN readiness items. Those were intentionally left unchanged because this cleanup focused only on stale floating copper and dangling traces.
