Migration Reconstruction and Safety Review

I can’t run auto-layout right now because AI execution is unavailable: the account has no available ACUs. I’m not able to call the placement/routing tools until ACUs are available again.
What has been completed so far:
  • Recreated and verified the main schematic documentation set.
  • Reconstructed/verified these phase 3 schematic blocks:
    • Protected 5S battery input/protection block.
    • Raspberry Pi 5.1 V branch.
    • LCD 5.0 V branch.
    • 12 V KVM branch.
  • Preserved intentional no-connects and warnings, including MOD1 VCC as the known TPSM63606 ERC false positive.
  • No PCB layout work has been started or validated.
What remains before auto-layout is appropriate:
  • Finish schematic reconstruction for the USB-C PD charge/interlock subsystem and any remaining blocks.
  • Reconcile the expected 44 nets vs current 43 nets.
  • Run full ERC and resolve/document all remaining issues.
  • Then proceed to PCB placement first, followed by routing. Current state likely needs both placement and routing, but final layout should wait until schematic/ERC reconciliation is complete.

Source Gaps
The source evidence did not expose a complete final connector table for every original component. This file preserves the explicit mappings recovered from the migration bundle and parsed .flx excerpts. During schematic reconstruction, every connector and pin must be checked against the full parsed .flx net list and BOM evidence.
