Circuit boards
70 records: 0 read sources that cad-agent's rules and checks may cite, and 70 records catalogued from the Reference Map, not yet read. PCBs by job, with their evidence (ERC, DRC, routing, assembly).
Catalogued records are search snippets: their numbers are the authors' claims and their licences are as the map states them, unread. Cite one only after reading the source and promoting it (how).
Coverage
What cad-agent checked for these topics when the map was made, and the gap it found. The issue it drafted for each gap was never posted.
PartlyPCB design rules
Gap: No fab-capability rules (min trace/space 4-6 mil, annular ring, drill, board edge clearance, via size, mounting-hole keepout), no stackup or impedance data; DRC rules live in the user's KiCad project.
Drafted issue, never posted: “Add fab capability profiles for PCB (trace, drill, annular ring)”

Role is the survey's judgement of a record within its class (leader, reference, lessons, context): not a quality grade. A single source, a search snippet, or untested judgement is what “low” means.
