Progress
Built in public, with receipts.
Twelve roadmap steps, each independently testable. A merge needs a green local receipt on the exact commit and a green CI run on that same commit. Here's where it stands.

Roadmap
Twelve steps, in order.
01DoneFault-injection suite — a 56-fault matrix that measures recall and false-positive rate per rule.
02DoneUART, SPI and power rule sets — role pairing, baud and clock limits, regulator budget with margin-as-data, LDO headroom.
03DoneNet derivation + logic-level compatibility — wiring-aware nets, then VOH/VIH, VOL/VIL and overdrive tolerance joined per net.
04DoneMotif system — proven sub-circuits that expand to primitive ops and carry claims the engine verifies against the derived nets, never the motif's word.
05DoneMutation executor — 30 atomic ops, a 29-code rejection enum, optimistic concurrency, history returned and never stored.
06DoneSchematic compiler — record-true symbols, label connectivity, block hierarchy, an independent S-expression cross-check, and a human GUI open recorded in KiCad 10.
07In flightAPI + agent loop — FastAPI, a worker, a KiCad container, plain tool use. Six goals from an empty design already pass end to end.
08In flightBrowser workspace — chat, schematic and dossier side by side, streaming. The dossier panel is the hero screen.
09NextHuman-verified catalog — per-part datasheet work around the ESP32 archetype, demand-driven, in waitlist order.
10PlannedPCB-readiness data — signal classes with authority cited, KiCad net classes written into the project so a human inherits the constraints before any router exists.
11PlannedCatalog overview — a derived census by part type and verification level, never hand-maintained.
12PlannedBring your own part record — your record, linted and validated exactly as ours is. The format is the contract.
Changelog
What landed, when.
2026-08-31
PCB demo pipeline, preserved
A charger board placed, routed headlessly and exported to GLB with a raytraced render. A prototype, kept so roadmap item 10 has something to read from.
2026-08-29
Six of six, from an empty file
A live model produced six designs against predicates only the engine can judge — 7 to 9 turns each, zero errors, and the LiPo goal correctly ending in human review. Every first batch was refused on grammar and corrected next turn; those spellings are in the prompt now.
2026-08-29
Roadmap items 10–12 written down
PCB-readiness data, the catalog census, and external part records — planned in full before a line is built, so the PCB stage has data waiting when it starts.
2026-08-27
Phase 6 closed — a human opened the schematic
The compiled baseline opened in KiCad 10.0.5 with the CLI cross-check passing and ERC classes as expected. Hashing an artifact is not inspecting it; someone looked.
2026-08-27
Paint order is semantic
KiCad's SVG plotter emits elements in a platform-dependent order. A pixel witness with zero tolerance measured the difference at 8.7 parts per million — antialiased edges composited in the other order. Reported as a measurement, never as a pass.
2026-08-26
Levels engine wave
A level pass now names its joins; a net with an unrunnable join is skipped with an honest finding instead of a quiet pass. Thermal models the rail at minimum and both rules disclose degenerate corners.
2026-08-25
Executor and compiler accepted
Typed mutations became the only write path, and the first .kicad_sch came out of the compiler with KiCad's own ERC checking it in CI.
How we know it's green
Green is a checked claim, never a badge.
A branch merges only with a full local run green at the exact commit — recorded on the pull request as a receipt naming that commit and every CI leg run verbatim — and one green CI run on that same commit. Any commit after it voids the receipt.

Five blocking jobs
Verified by name-set equality against the workflow. A job renamed, deleted or never instantiated is red — not uncounted.
continue-on-error: none
No non-blocking job
None exists, and none is to be added. A skipped job counts as passed only when the run's own outputs excuse it, printed with the condition that did.
golden numbers
Vendor-anchored tests
Golden numbers are recomputed from the record values the engine reads, or anchored to the vendor app note's own worked example — at least one anchor per formula. The I²C window is locked at 0.967–8.43 kΩ.
pixel witness
Artifacts get looked at
Rendered sheets are compared as rasters at zero tolerance, each side first proven non-degenerate. An artifact that is only ever hashed has never been validated.
