Check out the Samoklava GitHub repository (https://github.com/soundmonster/samoklava) for an example of auto-generated and auto-routed board leveraging Ergogen.

I am following on the steps of FlatFootFox to replicate the Corne (Cherry) in code, WIP for the moment: https://github.com/ceoloide/corney-island

Don't forget to support the creator of Ergogen, MrZealot: https://github.com/sponsors/mrzealot

What does routing mean in this context?
PCB trace routing
Right. Basically routing (i.e. connecting pads / terminals of various electronic components) is a relatively hard problem and usually gets done by hand.

Ergogen lacks the ability to spit out routed PCBs, but the Samoklava repositories shows how to use a KiCad CLI addon to do just that and generate final files ready for fabrication (though you should always inspect them).
