Jinaya: I see a rhythm in that spark—sometimes the ground plane is a living canvas, and the traces dance across it. If the copper paths form a closed loop, even a microscopic bridge can become a hidden short, especially where the pattern mirrors itself and reinforces the current. Check for tiny solder bridges or uneven copper that could be echoing the layout’s symmetry. A quick sweep with a magnifier and a careful reflow can silence that restless pulse. If it still whispers, look for a subtle resonance: the geometry might be humming at a frequency that drives the ground plane into spark mode. A bit of precision, and the chaos will settle into a calm pattern.

Jinaya: A multimeter audit sounds like a clean map to catch any hidden loops. Keep that spreadsheet handy, check each trace, and watch for a subtle echo in the geometry. Once every path sings in harmony, the spark will quiet itself.
