Per Codex review of 471c1af:
1. tb_gs_async_fifo QUAD_WIDTH4 variant now runs at the PRODUCTION 93-bit width
(exercising the odd 23/23/23/24 remainder split) and drives a DISTINCT NONZERO
pattern into every width bank (seq XOR per-bank constants, bank2 inverted), with
the scoreboard checking the FULL reconstructed word. A swapped/broken/zeroed
upper bank now changes the word and trips the scoreboard. Depth-half crossing
(DEPTH=8) + wrap/full coverage retained. mk() is generate-guarded so the 32-bit
variants never elaborate the 93-bit selects.
2. Softened gs_async_fifo comments: 'same total M20K' -> EXPECTED-similar, pending
synthesis (fact -> expectation).
No simulations or Quartus run. Awaiting review before any sim.

Candidate 2 from the accepted structural proposal. Adds a QUAD_WIDTH4_READ
generate branch to gs_async_fifo: like QUADRANT_READ (2 depth x 2 width) but
splits the payload into FOUR width banks, so each preserved read-address launch
register drives ~half the M20K load (targets the 310MHz raddr_hi1_q->mem_hi1
setup family, WNS -0.103). Keeps QUADRANT_READ's proven 2:1 depth OUTPUT selector
unchanged (no new/deeper mux, per the doc's warning). Depth (8192), one-cycle
read latency, ordering, CDC, capacity, and interface are identical.
zc_emit u_req switched QUADRANT_READ->QUAD_WIDTH4_READ. New default-off param
leaves the other two gs_async_fifo instances byte-identical. TB gains a
TEST_QUAD_WIDTH4 variant + standalone Makefile target tb_gs_async_fifo_quad_width4.
NO simulations or Quartus run (per authorization). Awaiting review before any sim.

Per-vertex GS fog end-to-end (gs_stub emit incl. persp_emit5, gs_prim_list_feeder
XYZ2->XYZF2 on PRIM.FGE, gs_make_sh3_scheduler_fixture.py F/FGE packing), new fog
TBs, fidelity attribution tooling. Functional baseline before removing the dead
bilinear lerp8 clamps (Codex: 161-node comb loop -> -0.042ns setup fail).
