Work done
  • Audited the scoped Q2 input-protection area and verified the corrected schematic connectivity.
  • DRC still reports scoped layout problems: VIN_FUSED airwire between F2:P2 and Q2:D, VIN_PROTECTED airwires involving Q2:S, D6:K, and R6:P2, plus stale/dangling trace remnants and an overlap at Q2:D.
  • Created the detailed status file: Q2 Input Protection Routing Remediation Status.
Success criteria review
  • ❌ Stale traces were identified but not removed in this run.
  • ❌ The physical path is not yet fully routed as J1 P1 -> F2 -> VIN_FUSED -> Q2 -> VIN_PROTECTED -> D3/C7/FB2 -> VIN_FILTERED.
  • ❌ DRC is not clean in the scoped area; airwires/dangling/overlap issues remain.
  • ✅ The corrected schematic topology still supports reverse-polarity blocking, but the PCB must be cleaned/rerouted before fabrication.
Next steps
Perform the physical trace cleanup/reroute in the PCB editor for the listed scoped items, then rerun DRC to confirm the Q2 input-protection area is clear.

Relay Dry-Contact Net Isolation Audit
Audit scope: strict read-only check of the relay dry-contact output. No schematic or PCB modifications were made.
1. PASS / FAIL
PASS for schematic net isolation of the relay dry-contact output.
The relay contact output is implemented as two isolated nets:
  • RELAY_COM: K1:COM to RELAY_OUT:P1 only
  • RELAY_NO: K1:NO to RELAY_OUT:P2 only
No forbidden powered rail, ground, ESP32 GPIO, INA219 pin, buck converter node, pull-up, pull-down, or powered PCB rail was found connected to RELAY_COM or RELAY_NO in the schematic data.
PCB-layout finding: no DRC-reported overlapping copper, floating copper, overlapping traces, or airwires were returned for this scope; however, there are project-level dangling-trace warnings elsewhere. The relay contact traces route near the relay coil-side pins and nearby low-voltage control copper on the same relay footprint, so this is acceptable for a low-voltage dry-contact prototype but should be treated as a clearance/labeling improvement item if the external dry contact may ever see higher voltage or field wiring transients.
2. Complete list: K1 COM connectivity

No other schematic pins were found on RELAY_COM.
PCB trace evidence from layout region:
  • RELAY_COM trace runs from RELAY_OUT:P1 at approximately (-33.69 mm, 23.19 mm) to K1:COM at approximately (-25.01 mm, 20.56 mm).
  • Trace width shown in layout data: approximately 0.7814 mm.

6. PCB-layout clearance concerns around relay contact side
Positive findings
  • RELAY_OUT is placed near K1, and the contact-side traces are direct and identifiable.
  • RELAY_COM and RELAY_NO are physically routed only between the relay contact pins and the two-position terminal.
  • No DRC result in the queried checks reported overlapping copper or shorted traces involving the relay contact nets.
Concerns / recommendations
  1. Contact trace near coil/control side of relay footprint
    RELAY_NO routes from the output connector to K1:NO and passes near the relay body/coil-side region. The nearest clearly visible control/coil traces include RELAY_COIL_LOW and RELAY_COIL_HIGH_SENSE around the relay footprint. This does not indicate a net short, but for production robustness I would prefer a visibly wider isolation corridor between contact-side copper and coil/control-side copper.
  2. No explicit high-isolation clearance rule observed
    The active universal copper keepout is about 3.5–3.8 mil, which is a normal routing clearance, not a dedicated dry-contact isolation clearance. If the dry contact only switches a low-voltage coin/input signal, this is acceptable for first prototype. If field wiring may carry higher voltage, inductive transients, or unknown machine-side potentials, add an explicit larger clearance requirement for RELAY_COM and RELAY_NO from powered PCB nets before production.
  3. Silkscreen labeling is insufficient for the stated requirement
    The layout data shows the connector reference text RELAY_OUT; I did not find explicit silkscreen text saying DRY CONTACT ONLY, COM-NO, or NO VOLTAGE OUTPUT. This is a labeling warning, not an electrical isolation failure.
  4. Project-level dangling traces exist
    DRC returned four dangling-trace warnings: Trace 1855, Trace 45f1, Trace 4f4c, and Trace 8aa5. The review output did not identify these as relay-contact nets in the returned data, but they should still be resolved before fabrication because stale copper can create manufacturing or debugging ambiguity.
Bottom line
  • Schematic dry-contact net isolation: PASS
  • K1 NC unconnected: PASS
  • No evident copper short/pour connection from COM/NO to powered circuit: PASS based on available layout/review data
  • Physical clearance / production labeling: WARNING — acceptable for first prototype if the contact is low-voltage, but improve before production or if external wiring voltage is unknown.
