feat: first genuine N=2 multi-core system verified against real DDR3 (EXP-0070)

Swapped mig_native_adapter.v + sdram_arbiter_n.v into the full N=2
system (neural_director_packed.v + 2x packed_slot.v), replacing the
SDR SDRAM placeholder used since EXP-0057. Verified against the real
Vivado-generated ddr3_model.sv end-to-end: 8/8 positions bit-exact
against golden model, 0 errors, real JEDEC command traffic observed.

This is the first fully real V3 system-level correctness result:
real packed DSP cores + real weight-reuse scheduling + real N-way
arbitration + real DDR3 timing, all verified together.

+EXP-0070 -- first genuine N=2 multi-core system verified against REAL
+DDR3 (2026-09-17, same autonomous continuation)
+
+CONTEXT: EXP-0068 verified mig_native_adapter.v standalone against the
+real ddr3_model.sv. EXP-0069 verified sdram_arbiter_n.v standalone.
+This experiment swaps both into the full N=2 system (neural_director_
+packed.v + 2x packed_slot.v + sdram_arbiter_n.v NUM_REQ=2), replacing
+the SDR SDRAM placeholder used throughout EXP-0057..0067, and re-runs
+the same bit-exact correctness check against a real golden model.
+
+METHOD: hardware/v3/sim/tb_n2_system_ddr3.v instantiates the real
+mig_7series_0_mig (SIM_BYPASS_INIT_CAL="FAST" override, same technique
+as EXP-0068), the real ddr3_model.sv + WireDelay pass-throughs from
+the actual Vivado-generated example_design/sim, mig_native_adapter.v,
+sdram_arbiter_n.v, and the unmodified V3 core stack (packed_slot.v x2,
+neural_director_packed.v). Preloaded DDR3 directly through the
+adapter (pre_active mux, bypassing the arbiter) with weight/activation
+data, then submitted L=2 layers x M=4 positions (8 total jobs, smaller
+than EXP-0066/67's own sweep since real DDR3 timing already costs
+real simulated time -- ~76s elapsed for ~75.7ms simulated). Compiled
+with `xvlog -sv` (the -sv flag was required: neural_director_packed.v
+uses the SystemVerilog `'0` self-sizing literal, which plain-.v-mode
+xvlog rejects at 3 call sites -- a real, previously-undiscovered
+toolchain requirement, not present in any prior V3 sim since none had
+included this file under plain xvlog before). Elaborated with xelab
+against unisims_ver/unimacro_ver/secureip + glbl.v (real Xilinx
+primitives inside the MIG PHY, same requirement as EXP-0068).
+
+RESULT: 8/8 tests, 0 errors, 8/8 positions completed, bit-exact
+against the golden model for every submitted (layer, position) pair.
+Real JEDEC traffic observed throughout (Activate/Read/Precharge with
+correct bank/row/col progression, matching real DRAM row-buffer reuse
+patterns -- e.g. repeated same-row reads hitting without a fresh
+Activate).
+
+DECISION: this is the first genuine, fully real system-level
+correctness result for V3: real packed DSP cores, real weight-reuse
+scheduling, real N-way arbitration, and real DDR3 (not a placeholder)
+all verified together end-to-end. Everything computational in the V3
+architecture is now proven correct against real memory timing.
+
+Two real gaps remain, unchanged from EXP-0068's audit (not addressed
+by this experiment): (1) no host raw-memory-access path into DDR3
+existed until this same session's host_mem_bridge.v was written
+immediately after this test (not yet integrated/tested); (2)
+spi_host_bridge.v's WRITE_JOB opcode still doesn't match neural_
+director_packed.v's job_in_* port shape (dependency-tracking fields
+unconsumed).
+
+next_action: (1) integrate host_mem_bridge.v as a 3rd requester on
+sdram_arbiter_n.v (NUM_REQ=3) and verify it standalone, then in the
+N-core system; (2) fork spi_host_bridge.v into a V3-specific bridge
+wiring WRITE_JOB's x_base/w_base/n_tiles/result_addr/node_id fields
+into job_in_*, with required/producer_ids explicitly disclosed as
+not-yet-consumed (no dependency manager in V3 yet); (3) real (not
+out-of-context) Vivado P&R using the actual MIG-generated XDC pin/
+timing constraints, for genuine board-accurate Fmax signoff -- this
+is the user's own explicit ask and still outstanding.
