The problem is how to filter out those boards which are be assembled. Tough one

Comment on resin detection.  If you have SEM/EDX capability, see if you can

focus on the area between the innerlayer copper and the deposited copper.

If you can detect bromine, that is from the circuit board.   If there is no

bromine, then the organic is the potting compound and you have smeared

while polishing.



I agree there is no etchback, but there does appear to be glass frosting as

the deposited copper seems to have penetrated the exposed fiber bundles in

the hole.



Not sure about drilling.  There does not seem to be any chunks torn out

from the sidewalls.  However, I do see the glass as a bit roughened in the

holewall.  In my experience, drilling too fast or with dull bits will make

a rougher sidewall than I see here.   Perhaps you have the opposite - slow

drill speed overheating the resin and possibly smearing it across the

internal copper​ posts.   Possibly, poor or no entry material is allowing

the drilling to be too hot.



Do you know for sure that the desmear is wet chemistry -

swellant/permanganate?   Not plasma?   Is there a chance the desmear was

skipped, or the swellant or permanganate way too weak?



In my 30 year old definition, this is post separation.   Resin recession to

me is straight copper sidewall with resin pulling back from the copper.

Holewall-pullaway is straight laminate wall and bulges in the copper

itself.  I see neither in this section - just post separation.



As others have said - section some boards before assembly soldering.   I

bet you see the "weak interface" line in those, especially horizontal

sections.
