Fix all 10 CDC bugs from report_cdc audit, add overflow guard in range_bin_decimator
...
CDC fixes across 6 RTL files based on post-implementation report_cdc analysis:
- P0: sync stm32_mixers_enable and new_chirp_pulse to clk_120m via toggle CDC
in radar_transmitter, add ft601 reset synchronizer and USB holding
registers with proper edge detection in usb_data_interface
- P1: add ASYNC_REG to edge_detector, convert new_chirp_frame to toggle CDC,
fix USB valid edge detect to use fully-synced signal
- P2: register Gray encoding in cdc_adc_to_processing source domain, sync
ft601_txe and stm32_mixers_enable for status_reg in radar_system_top
- Safety: add in_bin_count overflow guard in range_bin_decimator to prevent
downstream BRAM corruption
All 13 regression test suites pass (159 individual tests).

Add SymbiYosys formal verification for 6 modules, fix 2 doppler bugs
...
Formal verification (SymbiYosys + smtbmc/z3):
- cdc_single_bit: BMC PASS depth 80, cover PASS 3/3
- cdc_handshake: BMC PASS depth 100, cover PASS 4/4
- cdc_adc_to_processing: BMC PASS depth 80, cover PASS
- radar_mode_controller: BMC PASS depth 200, cover PASS 8/8
- range_bin_decimator: cover PASS 7/7, BMC running (step 61+)
- doppler_processor: cover running (step 133/150), BMC running (step 35+)
DUT bug fixes found by formal:
- doppler_processor: write_chirp_index overflow past CHIRPS_PER_FRAME-1
in S_ACCUMULATE frame-complete branch (reset to 0)
- doppler_processor: read_doppler_index unclamped prefetch in S_LOAD_FFT
causing OOB BRAM reads (clamped to DOPPLER_FFT_SIZE-1)
CDC fix (prior session, included):
- cdc_modules: async reset changed to sync reset on all CDC sync chains
to prevent metastability on reset deassertion
RTL changes for formal observability:
- Added ifdef FORMAL output ports to cdc_handshake (6), cdc_adc (2),
radar_mode_controller (2), range_bin_decimator (5), doppler_processor (11)

Achieve timing closure: DSP48E1 pipelines, 4-stage NCO, 28-bit CIC, ASYNC_REG
...
Phase 0+ timing optimization (attempts #13-22 + implementation):
NCO (nco_400m_enhanced.v):
- 4-stage pipeline: DSP48E1 accumulate -> LUT read -> negate -> quadrant MUX
- DSP48E1 phase accumulator in P=P+C mode (eliminates 8-stage CARRY4 chain)
- Registered phase_inc_dithered to break cascaded 32-bit add path
DDC (ddc_400m.v):
- Direct DSP48E1 instantiation for I/Q mixers (AREG=1, BREG=1, MREG=1, PREG=1)
- CEP=1, RSTP=!reset_n for proper pipeline control
- 3-stage dsp_valid_pipe for PREG=1 latency
- Behavioral sim model under ifdef SIMULATION for Icarus compatibility
CIC (cic_decimator_4x_enhanced.v):
- 28-bit accumulators (was 36) per CIC width formula: 18 + 5*log2(4) = 28
- Removed integrator/comb saturation (CIC uses wrapping arithmetic by design)
- Pipelined output saturation comparison
CDC/ASYNC_REG:
- ASYNC_REG attribute on all CDC synchronizer registers (cdc_modules.v,
radar_system_top.v, usb_data_interface.v)
- Sync reset in generate blocks (cdc_modules.v)
Results: Vivado post-implementation WNS=+1.196ns, 0 failing endpoints,
850 LUTs (1.34%), 466 FFs (0.37%), 2 DSP48E1 (0.83%) on xc7a100t.
All testbenches pass: 241/244 (3 known stub failures).
