Seve - @Abse subcircuit caching should be much ...

we should definitely have a snapshot for this stuff with the footprint we're targeting

i wouldn't have approved it because idk if you targeted a non-QFN component

how do i know there's not a better function name

the "lr" convention is going to be pervasive if we use it- can you share the chip you were attempting to capture

ok one sec

<@757706909351411845> C128396

ok let's see how it goes

you should always introduce the full name in addition to the alias btw

<@757706909351411845> hay **Repros:** [PR #3018](https://github.com/tscircuit/core/pull/3018) includes a minimal case where a parent trace crosses preserved different-net child copper, and a Game Boy-like case where parent-to-MCU routing exhausts the autorouter iteration limit. **Fix:** [PR #3044](https://github.com/tscircuit/core/pull/3044) routes the MCU through a virtual breakout, preserves breakout-point identity across routing phases, and routes explicitly breakout-owned nets early. The large board now routes without physical headers and passes DRC.

can you validate if this is a real bug in the breakout and a fix

also check these Here’s a brief Discord-ready update: **JLC5000 footprint improvements** All Footprinter PRs have passing CI and produce 99%+ IoU: - **C2883760 – Staggered SMD pin header:** Discovery ignored the vertical row pitch. Added staggered-row detection and measured `py`. **87.20% → 99.997%** https://github.com/tscircuit/circuit-json-to-footprinter/pull/85 - **C151520 – BFP650 SOT-343:** Uses a wider, inward-shifted emitter pad that standard SOT-343 cannot represent. Added a specific BFP650 variant without changing the standard footprint. **89.13% → 99.966%** https://github.com/tscircuit/footprinter/pull/771 - **C22461789 – LED3510:** Four inline LED pads with wider outer contacts were incorrectly matched as FPC. Added an explicit LED3510 footprint. **89.08% → 99.989%** https://github.com/tscircuit/footprinter/pull/772 - **C78322 – SMD potentiometer:** Existing potentiometer support was through-hole only. Added an SMD potentiometer variant with a wider center pad. **88.34% → 99.998%** https://github.com/tscircuit/footprinter/pull/773 - **C2827688 – SOT-143:** Pin 1 is wider and shifted inward, which symmetric families cannot reproduce. Added an explicit SOT-143 footprint. **88.16% → 100%** https://github.com/tscircuit/footprinter/pull/774 - **C29718 – 0603x4 resistor array:** The end terminals are wider than the inner terminals. Added configurable column pitch and outer-pad height to the existing family. **87.39% → 99.973%** https://github.com/tscircuit/footprinter/pull/775

- **C225714 – G5NB relay:** The sparse four-hole layout has two different hole sizes and cannot be modeled as a pin grid. Added a specific G5NB relay footprint. **87.27% → 99.993%** https://github.com/tscircuit/footprinter/pull/776 - **C2979263 – TOLL-8:** Existing discovery approximated the large drain copper as an offset thermal pad. Added a proper TOLL-8 footprint with leads, bridge, and drain pad. **86.22% → 99.997%** https://github.com/tscircuit/footprinter/pull/777 - **C3130 – Fuse clip:** Uses two rotated plated slots, but existing candidates only supported circular holes. Added a slotted fuse-clip footprint. **86.14% → 100%** https://github.com/tscircuit/footprinter/pull/778 - **C35556 – UFQFPN-20:** Eight corner leads are chamfered polygons that regular QFN/LGA pads cannot reproduce. Added an explicit UFQFPN-20 footprint. **85.75% → 100%** https://github.com/tscircuit/footprinter/pull/779

<@757706909351411845> if it\s not a standard do we always try to make it using parameters on existing fps ?

ya igs

I dont think footprinter should start supporting manufacturer specific stuff

so we should reach a point where we don't want a fp string to make it and just use polygon pads or wtvr

Yea the relay one is interesting tho

<@757706909351411845> https://github.com/tscircuit/footprinter/pull/781

can u review one more time ty

<@757706909351411845>

i think we should probably accept the smtpads alias for this, also it's driving me crazy that you keep adding "centerpadwidth", which is objectively incorrect

smdpads4_centerpadwidth4 (what is the center pad now?)

bad design!

actually you know what

it's fine

we don't normally throw errors in footprints

but it's fine

i guess it is how a human might describe it

I switched the repro for the fanout bug , looks like its an srj generation bug

<@757706909351411845> https://github.com/tscircuit/core/pull/3212

Your prev repro is still valid

Missing pointToConnect iiuc

yeah will be the next fix
