Making outline

Select one etched-flex radiator family and identify feed/return boundaries.
Pattern and finish copper, retaining coupon geometry for testing.
Inspect conductor defects and measure on an independent fixture.

What remains unresolved

Selected frequency bands/MIMO/efficiency/enclosure interaction are unchosen.
Full inventory, quantities, losses, capability compatibility and acceptance remain unreviewed.
