Bug Description
The PNS router disallows starting a trace on or outside the board edge, with a dialog "Cannot start routing inside a keep out area or board outline."
If the board edge passes through castellation vias, this means that traces cannot be started on these vias. Ending them there apparently works, and this is being passed around in user forums as a tip.
This probably needs an explicit exception so castellation vias can serve as start points.

I can understand the router doing this if the castellation via is outside the board edge but the logic should to be changed when the castellation via is bisected by the board edge.
