 "title": "tscircuit 0.0.2516 KiCad export: rotated connector courtyards and per-fragment pours force a hand-maintained DRC whitelist that keeps growing",
 "symptom": "Every new rotated connector added to a board produces fresh KiCad DRC violations that are export artifacts rather than design faults, so the accepted-artifact list has to be edited by hand each time. Over one week the whitelist went from 2 to 5 to 8 entries and the known-exporter-artifact count in the gate went 122 to 135 to 186. A raw export of a second board reported 299 violations including 19 unconnected and 199 isolated_copper, which fell to 81 violations and 0 unconnected purely by injecting real design rules and refilling zones.",
