mac_unit.v: exhaustive unit test (all 65536 (x,w) combinations at
DATA_WIDTH=8, plus 486 boundary acc_in vectors) against an independent
Python oracle (tools/validation/mac_oracle.py). 66022/66022 match, 0
reserves.
mac8.v: first-ever dedicated unit test (previously only indirect
coverage at whatever single PARALLEL neuron_parallel_tb.v happens to
use). Verified at PARALLEL=2/8/32 with structural adversarial vectors
(catches swapped/duplicated tree wiring), 300 random INT8 pairs per
PARALLEL with realistic accumulating acc_in, and worst-case magnitude
adversarial vectors. 939/939 match.
Confirms BUG-002 (N_INPUTS=0 bypasses the N_INPUTS%PARALLEL elaboration
guard) is real, on both simulation and real Yosys synthesis -- root
cause: [DATA_WIDTH*N_INPUTS-1:0] becomes [-1:0] for N_INPUTS=0, which
both tools treat as a genuine 2-bit undriven vector rather than
collapsing to zero width. Includes a documented self-correction: the
first verification attempt produced a false "hang" using an invalid
one-shot late check of a single-cycle done pulse -- caught by
reproducing the same false result on a known-good sanity config before
trusting it.
Full regression re-run clean after adding 3 new testbenches: 36/36 real
tests pass.
