"the change was trivial" I mean why it says needs to be tested. Adam left
out one short trace, which I manually jumped on the first set I built and
verified the rest was good. Then he added the missing trace, and I did
verify the new board was still all good.

It was just this:

You can see that the current board has that trace. And here's a pic that
shows it in real life.

(I'm not Adam the guy who drew these up. I just worked with him testing and
suggesting things.)
