chore: add .gitattributes to enforce LF line endings for new files

- Phase A: Remove self-blessing golden test from FPGA regression, wire
  MF co-sim (4 scenarios) into run_regression.sh, add opcode count guards
  to cross-layer tests (+3 tests)
- Phase B: Add radar_params.vh parser and architectural param consistency
  tests (+7 tests), add banned stale-value pattern scanner (+1 test)
- Separate WaveformConfig.range_resolution_m (physical, bandwidth-dependent)
  from bin_spacing_m (sample-rate dependent); rename all callers
- Remove 151 lines of dead golden generate/compare code from
  tb_radar_receiver_final.v; testbench now runs structural + bounds only
- Untrack generated MF co-sim CSV files, gitignore tb/golden/ directory

CI: 256 tests total (168 python + 40 cross-layer + 27 FPGA + 21 MCU), all green

-/*******************************************************************************
- * test_gap3_health_watchdog_cold_start.c
- *
- * Safety bug: checkSystemHealth()'s internal watchdog (step 9, pre-fix) had two
- * linked defects that, once ERROR_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT was escalated to
- * Emergency_Stop() by the overtemp/watchdog PR, would false-latch the radar:
- *
- *   (1) Cold-start false trip:
- *         static uint32_t last_health_check = 0;
- *         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.

- * test_gap3_overtemp_emergency_stop.c
- *
- * Safety bug: handleSystemError() did not escalate ERROR_TEMPERATURE_HIGH
- * (or ERROR_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT) to Emergency_Stop().
- *
- * Before fix:  The critical-error gate was
- *                if (error >= ERROR_RF_PA_OVERCURRENT &&
- *                    error <= ERROR_POWER_SUPPLY) { Emergency_Stop(); }
- *              So overtemp (code 14) and watchdog timeout (code 16) fell
- *              through to attemptErrorRecovery()'s default branch (log and
- *              continue), leaving the 10 W GaN PAs biased at >75 °C.
- *
- * After fix:   The gate also matches ERROR_TEMPERATURE_HIGH and
- *              ERROR_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT, so thermal and watchdog faults
- *              latch Emergency_Stop() exactly like PA overcurrent.
- *
- * Test strategy:
- *   Replicate the critical-error predicate and assert that every error
- *   enum value which threatens RF/power safety is accepted, and that the
- *   non-critical ones (comm, sensor, memory) are not.

-One-off AGC saturation analysis for ADI CN0566 raw IQ captures.
-
-Bit-accurate simulation of rx_gain_control.v AGC inner loop applied
-to real captured IQ data.  Three scenarios per dataset:
-
-  Row 1 — AGC OFF:  Fixed gain_shift=0 (pass-through).  Shows raw clipping.
-  Row 2 — AGC ON:   Auto-adjusts from gain_shift=0.  Clipping clears.
-  Row 3 — AGC delayed: OFF for first half, ON at midpoint.
-           Shows the transition: clipping → AGC activates → clears.
-
-Key RTL details modelled exactly:
-  - gain_shift[3]=direction (0=amplify/left, 1=attenuate/right), [2:0]=amount
-  - Internal agc_gain is signed -7..+7
-  - Peak is measured PRE-gain (raw input |sample|, upper 8 of 15 bits)
-  - Saturation is measured POST-gain (overflow from shift)
-  - Attack: gain -= agc_attack when any sample clips (immediate)
-  - Decay: gain += agc_decay when peak < target AND holdoff expired
-  - Hold: when peak >= target AND no saturation, hold gain, reset holdoff
-

-  python adi_agc_analysis.py
