Research direction

Start by locating the existing board checks for placement, extraction, and EMC, then trace how routing results are checked. The issue calls for adding a stackup per fab profile and computing trace width and gap for a differential pair target such as 90 Ω. Done means routed boards are checked against those computed dimensions; the issue does not name specific files or tests.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

engine enhancement

Board checks (placement, extraction, EMC) are built. Next: a stackup per fab profile, so a differential pair such as USB D+/D- gets a computed trace width and gap for its target impedance (90 Ω), checked after routing.
