As a tip for your future repairs, those circular pads are SMD test points. They are used to debug the circuit and always carry an important signal. You didn’t need to restore a corroded test point for the FOB to operate. Nice work

Great fix as always, btw my purchase of those tweezers and angled 9m nozzle for the Quick came in almost next day. Super pleased with both, tweezers are fantastic no pressure / issues with small caps / res's when assembling boards. To any makers if you have not gotten your tweezers yet ( Mechanic) I highly recommend you do right away as these made working with msop 10 and qfn parts super easy to work with.

You can use them to jump over other traces, or quite often they are used to enable and disable various options or features, or even as configuration settings. In the latter two cases they may be referred to as "straps".

Tbh the default was directly visible on this one, because the mask wasn't in the same color, and this generally show a problem, also if you put a bright light below the PCB (for this type of PCB you see clearly the trace) also the rules is not solder a wire if not needed because this fragilise the pad, and it was totally possible to the multimeter without soldering a wire ^^.
