CONCEPT VISUAL — The rendered board is not a manufactured PCB. Stage 5C confirms schematic closure only.
ARES-FC-REV-A-SCH-5C.0 closed with 69 populated components, zero DNP items, zero ERC errors, zero ERC warnings, zero ERC exclusions, complete exact MPN and footprint coverage, and zero symbol-to-pad mismatches.
This remains a bench/HIL prototype and is not flight approved. Stage 6 digital placement is now complete, while routing, manufacturing output, fabrication, and physical validation remain pending.
