These beefed-up traces are far too regular to be done by hand, also

45 degree X+Y plot lines so some sort of plotter type delivery system

lines but the amount of solder delivered that is so uniform.

Ah you're talking abput the hatched (scotched) type thing, I`m sure
that`s solder paste screen printed on during manufacture of the pcb.

None of that on this one but I know what you mean. But some extrusion of
solder paste process via a vinyl sign cutter type plotter mechanism in place
of the cutter would be more likely than molten solder. Then fused onto the
board before populating with components but would that take solder bath
soldering of the components afterwards ?
The "beefing" is not applied after the main component soldering operation.
