 "symptom": "Single-pass autoroute was electrically fine (0 DRC errors) but the sensitive nets took detours/vias (48 vias total). Trying autorouter=\"sequential_trace\" produced 0 traces with 22 pcb_trace_missing_error and the message 'The \"sequential_trace\" autorouter is deprecated, so autorouting has been disabled for this subcircuit. Use the default autorouter and introduce <autoroutingphase /> or <fanout /> elements as needed.'",
