fix(fpga): implement 5 P0 invariant fixes with adversarial testbenches

Fixes 5 critical cross-layer invariant violations found during
system-level analysis. Each fix has a dedicated adversarial testbench
that actively tries to break the fix under race conditions, reset
mid-operation, overflow, and pathological input patterns.

RTL fixes:
- Fix #1: Replace flawed cdc_adc_to_processing with Gray-coded async
  FIFO (cdc_async_fifo) for DDC 400->100 MHz CDC path. Pre-fetch
  show-ahead architecture with CDC-safe registered reads.
- Fix #2: XOR toggle detection for mc_new_chirp in matched filter
  (cross-clock-domain safe vs level-sensitive).
- Fix #3: ST_WAIT_LISTEN state with configurable listen_delay to
  prevent matched filter re-trigger during chirp dead time.
- Fix #4: Overlap-save output trim in matched filter to suppress
  circular convolution artifacts at segment boundaries.
- Fix #7: Falling-edge frame_complete pulse in doppler_processor
  (was stuck high, causing continuous AGC resets).

RTL cleanup:
- Refactor CDC synchronizer arrays from memory arrays to scalar regs
  for explicit ASYNC_REG flop naming and synthesis constraint clarity.

Testbenches (70 checks total, all passing):
- tb_p0_async_fifo.v: 20 checks (fill, overflow, reset, streaming,
  show-ahead capacity, pathological data patterns)
- tb_p0_mf_adversarial.v: 33 checks (toggle detection, listen state,
  overlap trim, rapid chirp sequences, reset recovery)
- tb_p0_frame_pulse.v: 17 checks (pulse width, idle behavior,
  processing duration sweep, regression vs old stuck-high bug)

Regression: 24/24 pass (--quick), 57/57 existing CDC tests pass.
Golden references updated for doppler output timing change.

+ *         if (HAL_GetTick() - last_health_check > 60000) { ... }
+ *       On the very first call, last_health_check == 0, so once the MCU has
+ *       been up >60 s (which is typical after the ADAR1000 / AD9523 / ADF4382
+ *       init sequence) the subtraction `now - 0` exceeds 60 000 ms and the
+ *       watchdog trips spuriously.
+ *
+ *   (2) Stale-timestamp after early returns:
+ *         last_health_check = HAL_GetTick();   // at END of function
+ *       Every earlier sub-check (IMU, BMP180, GPS, PA Idq, temperature) has an
+ *       `if (fault) return current_error;` path that skips the update. After a
+ *       cumulative 60 s of transient faults, the next clean call compares
+ *       `now` against the long-stale `last_health_check` and trips.
+ *
+ * After fix:  Watchdog logic moved to function ENTRY. A dedicated cold-start
+ *             branch seeds the timestamp on the first call without checking.
+ *             On every subsequent call, the elapsed delta is captured FIRST
+ *             and last_health_check is updated BEFORE any sub-check runs, so
+ *             early returns no longer leave a stale value.
+ *
+ * Test strategy:
+ *   Extract the post-fix watchdog predicate into a standalone function that
+ *   takes a simulated HAL_GetTick() value and returns whether the watchdog
+ *   should trip. Walk through boot + fault sequences that would have tripped
+ *   the pre-fix code and assert the post-fix code does NOT trip.

+//   5. Ordered streaming — FIFO order preserved under sustained load
+//   6. Reset mid-transfer — clean recovery, no stale data
+//   7. Burst writes at max wr_clk rate — stress back-pressure
+//   8. wr_full deasserts promptly after read

+// ADVERSARIAL TESTBENCH: frame_complete Pulse Width (P0 Fix #7)
+// ============================================================================
+// Tests the falling-edge pulse detection pattern used in doppler_processor.v
+// (lines 533-551) for the frame_complete signal.
+//
+// The OLD code held frame_complete as a continuous level whenever the
+// Doppler processor was idle. This caused the AGC (rx_gain_control) to
+// re-evaluate every clock with zeroed accumulators, collapsing gain control.
+//
+// The FIX detects the falling edge of processing_active:
+//   assign processing_active = (state != S_IDLE);
+//   reg processing_active_prev;
+//   always @(posedge clk or negedge reset_n)
+//       processing_active_prev <= processing_active;
+//   assign frame_complete = (~processing_active & processing_active_prev);
+//
+// This DUT wrapper replicates the EXACT pattern from doppler_processor.v.
+// The adversarial tests drive the state input and verify:
+//   - Pulse width is EXACTLY 1 clock cycle
+//   - No pulse during extended idle
+//   - No pulse on reset deassertion
+//   - Back-to-back frame completions produce distinct pulses
+//   - State transitions not touching S_IDLE produce no pulse
+//   - OLD behavior (continuous level) is regressed

+// ADVERSARIAL TESTBENCH: Matched Filter Fixes (P0 Fixes #2, #3, #4)
+// ============================================================================
+// Tests three critical signal-processing invariant fixes in
+// matched_filter_multi_segment.v:
+//
+//   Fix #2 — Toggle detection: XOR replaces AND+NOT so both edges of
+//            mc_new_chirp generate chirp_start_pulse (not just 0→1).
+//
+//   Fix #3 — Listen delay: ST_WAIT_LISTEN state skips TX chirp duration
+//            (counting ddc_valid pulses) before collecting echo samples.
+//
+//   Fix #4 — Overlap-save trim: First 128 output bins of segments 1+
+//            are suppressed (circular convolution artifacts).
+//
+// A STUB processing chain replaces the real FFT pipeline, providing
+// controlled timing for state machine verification.
+// ============================================================================
+
+// ============================================================================
+// STUB: matched_filter_processing_chain
+// ============================================================================
+// Same port signature as the real module. Accepts 1024 adc_valid samples,
+// simulates a short processing delay, then outputs 1024 range_profile_valid
+// pulses with incrementing data. chain_state reports 0 when idle.
