Treat finished PCB review as complete, not a raw SSE error.

The status watcher synthesized pcb_error with pcb_status=complete (terminal)
when the worker finished before pcb_complete arrived. Map that hatch to
pcb_complete, publish the event before flipping status, and send /pcb to
the layout report tree.

 What's new in Periscope.
 
+## 2.33.2 — 2026-09-20 — PCB complete opens the findings tree
+
+A finished PCB exam no longer shows the raw watcher string `pcb_status=complete (terminal)`. The SSE hatch emits `pcb_complete`; the PCB page then opens `/report?domain=layout` (expand-on-click tree).
+
+- [Fixed] Synthetic PCB SSE for `pcb_status=complete` is `pcb_complete`, not `pcb_error`.
+- [Fixed] `/project/[id]/pcb` navigates to the layout report when the run finishes.
