Section titled “2026-07-15 - Marcus implementation graduation”

  • Intent: Land zplanes criterion 2 — Layout can be composed of child Layouts — on the held zplanes branch. Chosen because it is independent of the two open design decisions (active-plane-is-sim-or-frontend; sensors-per-plane), so it is safe to build while those await review.
