What's going on
layers: 4in the constructor declares the copper;stackup(4, ...)finishes it — ENIG, dielectric constraints on for impedance work, and one prepreg thickness overridden from the JLCPCB defaults.plane()reserves In1.Cu for ground and In2.Cu for 3V3. Planes are off-limits to the router — signals stay on the outer layers.- The signal trace asks the stackup what width hits 50 Ω ± 5 on F.Cu with
impedanceWidth(). stitch('GND')fences the board edge with ground vias;teardrops()reinforces everything the router placed.

dielectric table, the planes are there as filled zones, and DRC runs against the JLCPCB
default rules.
