Re-measured ddr_prefetch_mgr.v's (EXP-0083) real benefit against the now-closed 32-bit DDR3 channel (EXP-0086), per this project's own standing plan. Real result: the 2.86% benefit measured at the old 16-bit channel is GONE at 32-bit (WITH: 100663.1335ns vs WITHOUT: 100656.6835ns -- a 0.0064% regression, statistically a wash). The wider channel's lower per-tile latency already absorbs the gap the look-ahead prefetch used to hide. Kept wired in for correctness/ timing-neutrality (real P&R already signs off with it included), but it's no longer a real performance win. Updated docs/ARCHITECTURE_ ANALYSIS.md and docs/PHYSICAL_REALIZATION.md accordingly. Found and fixed 3 real testbench/simulation-setup bugs along the way: - tb_n2_system_ddr3.v and tb_mig_native_adapter.v still had a stale CLKIN_PERIOD=2900 (the FAILED EXP-0084 clock period) instead of the current real, closed 3225ps (EXP-0086). - tb_n2_system_ddr3.v used SystemVerilog-only $signed(8'(...)) cast syntax, invalid for xvlog's default plain-Verilog mode -- fixed via an intermediate 8-bit reg. - Building a fresh sim_1 fileset needs the real MIG simulation dependency set added explicitly (mig_7series_0_mig.v is marked USED_IN_SIMULATION=0 in the project since testbenches bypass the public wrapper); verilog_define is a fileset-level property, not per-file, in this Vivado version. New measurement-only fork (not part of the real synthesis target, per fork-before-promote discipline): packed_slot_noprefetch.v + tb_n2_system_ddr3_noprefetch.v, reproducing the pre-EXP-0083 direct per-tile activation-fetch sequencing for a fair A/B baseline. Also adds docs/BOM.md and docs/PINOUT.md: a real component list (DDR3 x2, flash, FPGA already verified; clk_ref oscillator and an ESP32-S3- WROOM-1 module newly verified in-stock on LCSC; sys_clk oscillator flagged as needing a custom-programmed order, no off-the-shelf SKU at the required 310.077MHz) and a consolidated, board-layout-ready pinout extract of PHYSICAL_REALIZATION.md's own pin tables.
