Fix #1
@Icky Noticed this, I really don't know how this one passed DRC check The more I use Eagle the more I am really hating it these days.
error is a short on a via.
FIX
EDIT:
I cut the tiny red / top track next to C9 rather than cutting the track on the bottom...and soldered to C9 pad.
EDIT: Alternative bodge wire underneath the board

Re: H5 A3 FIXES
What? Is the board already being made at the factory?

Re: H5 A3 FIXES
Fix #2
Same thing I just found again, shorted via on inner layer
So we need to cut these tracks...But unfortunately IC6 has to be removed as the top track (red) is under it
OPTION 1 - TO USE WITH FLASHY CLOCK
then a bodge wires has to be run right across the board...
OPTION 2 (neater - but cannot use flashy-clock)

Re: H5 A3 FIXES
Is Eagle meant to pick this kind of thing up?
Re: H5 A3 FIXES
Sometimes it does, then other times not. But the routing tool doesn't seem to see inner layers and shorts stuff out which I don't always notice. Other times when I am routing on a inner layer and there is a top layer track, it will refuse to route past it, like it thinks its all on the same layer. A lot of these bugs have been around since several versions ago.. Then autodesk bolt on new features.. which are buggy as well... @Icky has a collection of rants from me about bugs in Eagle.
IMO Eagle is fine if you want to do 2 layer small boards, but start getting larger and multilayers, it just can't cope. Its got bugs in version 7 which are still in version 9.. and as @Icky knows, I found that many new bugs in V9 I just can't use the thing full stop. Now they bolting fusion360 into it all.. I am just never going to class Eagle as a pro tool anymore, its not even a toy anymore.
I really would move to KiCad if I had the patience to start over.. but better the devil you know as they say... Though I don't know if they listen to bug reports or not anyway.

Re: H5 A3 FIXES
I really think you have something wrong with your DRC setup. Do you have all the clearances specified for the inner layers?
