Subject: [PATCH] Add protocol-certification M3 L1 geometric certifier
(2.67.0).
Length, topology, vias, stubs, layer, grouping. Skew only vs NUMERIC mm or DESIGN LIMIT. No invented ohms/mm/ps. Not electrical. No L2/L3.

## 2.66.0 — 2026-09-22 — Protocol certification M2 (L0 structural)
L0 STRUCTURAL certifier: nets must exist and connect at least two components. FAIL only for missing **MANDATORY** structure. AXI4 / internal interconnects are **NOT_APPLICABLE** (not FAIL). RECOMMENDED never FAIL. No L1–L3, no invented ohms/mm/ps.
