+/**
+ * Lays out a decoupling-capacitor partition as a uniform bank:
+ *
+ * - All caps oriented with their VCC/positive pin facing y+ (top) and their
+ *   GND/negative pin facing y- (bottom), matching datasheet convention.
+ * - Caps are placed side-by-side with uniform pitch (cap width + gap).
+ * - When there are more than `maxPerRow` caps the bank wraps into multiple
+ *   balanced rows, keeping the VCC rail continuous.
+ *
+ * This is a synchronous, single-step solver because the placement is fully
+ * deterministic — no search needed.
