@User: Sorry, I've been buried in work and meetings and not tracking this conversation. But: Use "ext2spice lvs" to set various options to a "sane" state. Magic sets ".option scale" by default, but that should not be used with sky130A. I don't exactly have a way for magic to determine that a .option scale is already buried somewhere in the model files. "ext2spice lvs" sets "ext2spice hierarchy on; ext2spice format ngspice; ext2spice scale off" and several others. For the purpose of LVS, it sets the parasitic capacitance threshold to "infinity"; if you want parasitics, I suggest using "ext2spice lvs" anyway and then following that with "ext2spice cthresh <value>", as it is easier to remember that sequence than all of the ext2spice options you would otherwise need to set.
