micheleandClaude Sonnet 5 43abf28b5b V2.1.0-dev: SPI host bridge + clock/reset architecture (NOT release-ready)
STEP20 work toward the V2 hardware release gate. Adds real new RTL
implementing the three pieces the previous freeze (V2.0.0) explicitly
left open, plus real, disclosed verification findings. Does NOT
declare hardware release complete -- see below.

New RTL:
- spi_host_bridge.v: real SPI slave protocol engine (WRITE_JOB/
  WRITE_MEM/READ_MEM/STATUS/RESET opcodes), replacing the 110-pin
  reg_* testbench bus as the intended physical host interface.
  Isolated regression 18/18 PASS (tb_spi_host_bridge.v); two real
  MISO-timing bugs found and fixed during its own development (see
  the module's header for the root-cause writeup).
- ecp5_pll_sys_clk.v: real, tool-generated (Project Trellis ecppll)
  EHXPLLL wrapper, 16MHz oscillator -> 64MHz system clock, with a
  declared (not fabricated) simulation-only PLL bypass.
- reset_sync.v: standard async-assert/sync-deassert reset bridge
  gating on external POR and PLL lock.
- fpga_neural_v2_top.v: board-level top wiring the above around the
  STEP19 compute+memory design's own already-frozen submodules
  (zero modification to neural_processor.v, dependency_manager.v,
  sdram_unified_backend.v, or any other previously-frozen file).

Real findings from this step's own re-verification (both logged in
full in hardware/v2/logs/errors.log):
- ERR-0024: the current Icarus Verilog v13.0 install (updated since
  the last freeze) gives WRONG bit-exact results for the
  already-committed STEP19 regression. Cross-checked against
  Verilator per this project's own standing protocol (DEC-0004) --
  the STEP19 baseline (single SDRAM, N=2/N=4, raw reg_* interface) IS
  bit-exact correct, reconfirmed today, matching the historical cycle
  counts exactly. Two provably-zero-behavior-change declaration-order
  fixes were required just to get the current toolchain to elaborate
  the already-shipped STEP19 files at all.
- ERR-0025: a real SPI-bridge protocol race (fixed) plus a SEPARATE,
  real, UNRESOLVED defect -- two jobs dispatched through the real SPI
  path with realistic pacing produce wrong compute results, even
  though job registration itself is confirmed correct at the
  handshake. Root cause not yet isolated. Committed as a known-failing
  regression (tb_fpga_neural_v2_top_smoke.v) documenting the gap
  honestly rather than hiding it.

Given ERR-0025 Part B is real and unresolved, synthesis/P&R of the new
board-level top was deliberately not attempted this round, and V2
hardware release is NOT declared complete. See decisions.log DEC-0036
and hardware/v2/docs/{CHIP_READINESS,OPEN_ITEMS}.md for the full,
itemized status.

// ================================================================
// Isolated unit regression for spi_host_bridge.v (STEP20).
//
// Emulates: (1) dependency_manager.v's reg_ready contract (a level,
// asserted only when the target node is free -- here deliberately
// delayed for a few cycles on the first job to prove reg_valid is
// HELD, not pulsed blind); (2) the host-arb slot_mem_arbiter's
// mem_ready contract (one clean req/ready handshake, SDRAM-like fixed
// latency, backed by a simple associative model array standing in for
// real SDRAM content).
//
// Per spi_host_bridge.v's own documented protocol: CS must stay
// asserted (low) for the WHOLE WRITE_MEM/READ_MEM transaction,
// including the internal wait for mem_ready -- SCLK may be idled
// (held low, no toggling) during that wait without losing state. This
// testbench's SPI master BFM does exactly that.
