CM5 PCB Placement

The remediation pass is active again. It is rechecking the live board and finishing the decoupling, regulator-loop, overlap, and escape-channel cleanup without starting routing.
Placement remediation is running again against the live board. It is preserving the fixed mechanics while tightening power loops and decouplers, clearing DRC conflicts, and improving high-speed escape paths; routing remains paused until an independent placement review passes.
Received notification from "CM5 PCB Placement" that it finished — picking the work back up.
I resumed the existing PCB placement remediation and gave it the routing-readiness criteria: fresh DRC, zero unintended overlaps, pin-level decoupling placement, compact regulator loops, usable high-speed escape channels, and preservation of the fixed CM5/M.2/RF mechanics.
The placement task has now completed, but I could not retrieve or independently reconcile its final report. Therefore, the PCB is not yet approved for routing.
Remaining work:
  • Inspect the completed placement changes and fresh DRC results.
  • Verify decouplers and regulator hot loops at pin level.
  • Confirm the repaired U15/U16/U18/U21 footprints, M.2 retention holes, differential-pair metadata, and radio-power neckdown rules remain correct.
  • Run an independent pre-routing review.
  • Present the placement checkpoint before generating neckdowns or routing.
Execution stopped because your ACUs ran out.
