That would have added a definite layer of complexity, but really just a token/cpu drain on the puzzle solver. Had they done that, I would have had Claude write a "gds matcher" that took the gds files of the sky std-cell lib, and located matches in the full gds, and produced a hierarchical def. It would have taken me 5 minutes to describe it to Claude/GPT (which they ok'd for "tool creation"). So it adds a lot of cost to solve the puzzle, but no real complexity. I'm glad they didn't flatten it.
