PCB Fixture Canaries

flux

The core fixture is present. I found one stale GND fill/net from the original project and am removing it before finalizing the verification summary.
Received notification from "PCB Fixture Canaries" that it stopped — taking it from here.

Built and verified the parametric-footprint-canary: 90 × 55 mm, 2-layer board, exact five designators, top-silk title, and rule-precedence fixtures for global BGA, UID-selected SOIC, parent-inherited DIP, and QFN !important with a 2 × 2 mm thermal pad.
Open items
  • ASSET_WINS_PACKAGE currently has authored geometry, but no valid footprint asset is attached.
  • Flux retains an undeletable empty GND net and virtual fill.
  • Some parametric BGA/SOIC generated silk/designator/model geometry did not materialize during read-back.
Suggested next steps
  1. Attach a valid footprint asset to ASSET_WINS_PACKAGE.
  2. Investigate the parametric regeneration issue for BGA/SOIC.
  3. Treat the retained empty GND net/fill as a platform limitation or file a platform report.
