I confirmed the reported connection is U1:DEVSLP to the GND copper fill; the GND fill is not physically connected to that pad. Routing is currently blocked by a board-definition validation error, and I couldn’t continue because the account has no available ACUs.
Remaining: resolve the board validation error, then add a short GND connection or via from U1:DEVSLP into the GND fill and rerun the Airwires review.
No conversion stage: input current approximately equals protected output current plus a small indicator/eFuse quiescent current.
Connectors and copper path must support 5 A absolute maximum with margin.
Architecture decision
No matching standalone Flux reference design was found for eFuse or generic power-protection searches. The protection block will therefore be designed from scratch using a library eFuse and its exact datasheet support circuit.
Variant policy
TVS MPN/value is BOM-configurable within the mechanically compatible 1.5KE unidirectional DO-201 family.
Bulk capacitor voltage is provisionally 16 V for a 5 V rail and remains BOM-configurable.
Two radial electrolytic footprints are ALT-FIT/DNP alternatives; only one is to be populated.
