8 Have it reviewed

After this step independent reviewers have read your circuit, and their judgement counts for exactly the files they read.

What you do

Nothing to start: Claude starts each reviewer itself, in a context of its own. The session that designed does not review. Each reviewer is an agent of the plugin and changes no file. Five checks are signed, by a reviewer or by you:

Check What Who
M-1 the critical parts against their datasheets, a second time the reviewer electrical-reviewer
M-6 the circuit against EU law, for its purpose the reviewer regulatory-reviewer
M-5 the board: can it be made, does it look right the reviewer pcb-reviewer, after the layout
M-2 the parts' orientation in the manufacturer's preview, before you pay you
M-4 every delivered board, tested you

The legal review is support, not legal advice. Nothing in it is legally guaranteed, and it makes no promise to be correct.

What you are asked

Each reviewer returns numbered notes. They come to you as one round of questions, as in Decide on what was found.

What you decide

Each note: fix it, or keep it with a reason. You also decide what the reviewers cannot, such as who uses the board.

What you have

Each sign-off in hardware/signoff.json, bound to the exact state of the files it judged. Any later change of the circuit makes M-1 and M-6 count no longer, and both reviewers look again. Next: Lay out the board.
