RTL Design Policy (P4)

Gate Priority

• Functional correctness is mandatory.
• Lint and CDC must be clean at module and block sanity scope.

P4 Minimum Gates

• Lint PASS (module + touched integration scope)
• CDC PASS (module + touched crossings)
• Smoke functional PASS
• Block sanity integration PASS

State Template Note

• templates/p4-state.json initializes modules as an empty map.
• The orchestrator populates concrete module keys at runtime from discovered targets.

Rapid-Mode Gate Scope

The 4 gates above (lint, CDC, smoke, block sanity) are a minimal subset of the full 10-Wave pipeline defined in rtl-p4-implement-policy. The rapid-mode orchestrator intentionally skips Waves 4-5 (code review), Wave 8 (protocol), Wave 9 (refactoring), and Stream B artifact generation. Use rtl-p4-implement for the full pipeline.

Failure Handling

• Prefer smallest-scope fix and re-run.
• If repeated failure on same category, escalate with root-cause summary.
