Ear documentation

PLAN.md owns direction, status and open gates; the design reference owns detailed population and geometry requirements. Older 50-LED, raw-touch and Qvar records describe earlier designs. Frozen fit records retain their checkpoint pin maps/counts. Do not infer current tool compatibility from the existence of a recipe.

Working references

Document Use it for
Pair/panel quote pipeline Current generation commands, reflection/pin checks, panel/CAM outputs and acceptance gates
Firmware layout export Source-preserving schema-2 geometry/segment/chain export for firmware
Connector assignment Left-master physical pins, pose and cable-continuity requirements
Moat editing reference Adopted contour references, fit guides and current native-exporter limitation
Rear tape artwork Tesa 8854 coverage, connector access and positive Gerber export
Quadratic baseline Current bottom curve, held corners and exact control data
Experimental electrodes Three independent covered rear electrodes with copper-only net anchors
Shared flex rules Authored KiCad constraints and outstanding supplier checks
Hardware/firmware handoff Firmware baseline, interface gaps and read-only reference boundary

The right-generation archive retains historical 50-LED seed/routing experiments. Use the quote pipeline for current generation.

Geometry and artwork

Those records keep their existing paths so their assets and reproducers stay together. Generated previews and manufacturing candidates belong under build/.

Design history

The archive index groups dated decisions and evidence. Some constraints still apply, but each record's poses, populations, routing counts and validation results belong to its stated checkpoint. Follow the current plan and guides when a later decision supersedes one of those records.

Keep new working ear guides here. Put dated checkpoint evidence in archive/ and link it from the relevant guide rather than adding another top-level doc.
