Codex review containment/observability fixes (no behavior change, no redesign):
- scanout_lb: add !fs_edge_v to the diagnostic predicate so capture
matches the underflow latch's frame-start CLEAR priority exactly
(no capture on an fs_edge cycle the real latch suppresses).
- bridge: expose a destination snap_valid_q as 0x120[0] — set ON the
payload-capture edge, cleared on synced source-valid deassert — so
valid never leads the bundle by a cycle (was the middle sync stage).
- bridge: forced-synchronizer (SYNCHRONIZER_IDENTIFICATION FORCED) +
dont_merge/preserve on the underflow/read-error/valid chains;
preserve on the bundle capture regs (both domains).
- SDC: stage-0 async cuts on the three sync[0] inputs + the 37-bit
stable bundle hold-false-path + 2ns max_skew + 2ns net_delay, with
fail-closed src==37 / dst!=0 count checks (tile_ram_cdc idiom).
- tb_gs_scanout_diag: +fs_edge-suppression monitor (with coverage that
the coincidence is exercised), +valid-ordering monitor, +snapshot
stability after later misses, +production DUT (V_SOURCE_START=32,
stretch, linear) proving cold-start scan_y=32, +cause/phase packing.
32/32 checks pass.
- doc: production cold start is source row 32 (not 0), base+lookahead
may both assert, and one snapshot narrows but does not prove
starvation vs next_fetch CDC-lag.
Sim set all PASS: focused TB, tb_ps2_hps_bridge, scanout_lb
{binomial,hstretch,psm32_256}, complete f52 replay (FB byte-identical
Z 0/307200, COLOR 0/245760). No Quartus, board, push, or scanout
behavior change.

Preserve the Ch441 timing/renderer board-validation evidence and the
Codex-directed follow-up:
- FB reconciliation: the Ch437 A/B dump's 8-word first-beat delta was a
non-reproducible one-time transient; 3x render+dump and 8x pure-probe
re-reads all return golden d0047677 (words 0-7 correct). Memory integrity
confirmed deterministic. (fb_reconciliation.md)
- Structural audit + A-D diagnostic proposal for LPDDR_STATUS[5]: bit5 ORs
sticky CDC-synced underflow with AXI read-errors; dump path (arid=1) is
separate from scanout/HDMI (arid=3). Instrumentation proposal only, not
implemented. (scanout_status_bit5_proposal.md)
- Raw board logs, status samples, RBF hashes, A/B FB dump, board PNG.
No RTL edits, no compile, no builds.
