Please be advised that a small but essential sky130 DRC update has just been deployed. For your chipIgnite 2404 submission, there is action you should take now which is expected to be quick and straightforward for you.

If you previously achieved a successful MPW Precheck, you should go to the Efabless platform now and re-run that precheck. Please let us know the result, whether you now encounter a new DRC failure, or your precheck still passes.

All customers using the precheck locally should also run `MPW_TAG=mpw-9i make precheck` to update for checking using the latest rules.

If you are unfamiliar with these steps, or would otherwise like more information, please let us know.

There are changes to bring the KLayout DRC rule deck in alignment with Skywater's required DRC checks for manufacturing. Most customers with purely digital designs are unlikely to be affected. This pull request encapsulates the changes: <https://github.com/efabless/mpw_precheck/pull/271> -- additionally, a constraint has been updated for `capm`: <https://github.com/efabless/caravel/issues/521>
