ADOPTED

Escapes 17 (exp61 -> exp62): ULPI residue-first stubs – fence segments of D7/NXT ripped (they re-heal after the residue), D4 diagonal ripped back to its pad stub; stubs placed for D2, D3, DIR, STP, CK. D5 stub refused (one D4 staircase segment survived a shifted rip match) and RST stub refused by an NXT diagonal – both fixed in batch 18.
