micheleandClaude Sonnet 5 55c827bedf feat: PSRAM page-mode reads + graph engine (Type #2) + real pinout/IRQ pins
PSRAM page-mode read burst support in psram_controller.v: enables the
ISSI IS66WVE4M16EBLL-70BLI's page mode via its configuration-register
software-access sequence at boot (disabled by default on the real
chip), then keeps CE#/OE# asserted after a read so a same-page
continuation only pays tAPA (20ns) instead of a full tAA (70ns)
random access, with automatic tCEM-safe session closing. Only a WRITE
closes the page -- byte-enable changes do not, since
int8_memory_access.v alternates them on nearly every access and an
early implementation attempt that treated them as a close condition
measured a real regression (53.25->61.25 cycles/edge) before being
corrected (53.25->37.53 cycles/edge, +42% gather bandwidth).
sim/psram_model.v gained independent tAPA/tAA and tCEM enforcement
(with a real Verilog same-timestep event-ordering race found and
fixed via a #0 sync) so the regression proves real timing compliance,
not just data correctness. New sim/psram_page_mode_tb.v; full 26-file
regression suite re-run clean. Real nextpnr-ecp5 Fmax re-measured on
the full spi_neuron_top system: 75.73MHz (P2, up from 55.59MHz) and
65.13MHz (P8) -- still under the 80MHz target but not regressed, with
the critical path confirmed (not assumed) to remain entirely inside
neuron_parallel's accumulate chain, never psram_controller.

Also includes this session's other already-validated work: the graph
engine (Type #2 sparse-graph network: act_buffer, graph_engine,
netasm host assembler), real CABGA381 pinout (.lpf, place&route
verified) and physical IRQ_N/DATA_READY_N pins, and Phase 7 timing
closure logs -- all previously uncommitted, documented in WORKLOG.md.

// ================================================================
// ACT_BUFFER TESTBENCH (Phase G1)
//
// Verifies:
// TEST 1 - write then read back (id 0, low end of range).
// TEST 2 - write then read back (id N_TOTAL-1, high end of range).
// TEST 3 - negative (signed) value round-trip.
// TEST 4 - read is REGISTERED: rd_data must NOT show the new value
// on the same cycle rd_addr changes, only one cycle later.
// TEST 5 - independent ports: write to addr X while reading addr Y
// in the same cycle does not disturb the read.
// TEST 6 - a burst of writes to many ids, then read them all back
// in a different order (models graph_engine's out-of-
// order gather pattern).
