+ * Different-net trace crossings and collinear overlaps, measured across every
+ * imported bug report.
+ *
+ * These are the current values, not a target — several of these boards are
+ * open bugs. The point is that the numbers are pinned: a routing or cleanup
+ * change that makes any board worse fails here instead of sliding into a
+ * regenerated SVG snapshot where a crossing is easy to miss.
+ *
+ * Both numbers are pinned because either one alone is gameable. Two nets that
+ * cross can always be "fixed" by making them run along each other instead, and
+ * an overlap can always be "fixed" by introducing a crossing. Neither is
+ * strictly better, so a change that trades one for the other should be visible
+ * and deliberate rather than scored as an improvement by a one-sided count.
+ *
+ * If a change legitimately improves a board, lower the number in the same PR.
