thejayman77 846eee06b6 Ch443c: per-frame scanout diagnostic + frame-restart latency fix

The Ch443 board A+B diagnostic captured a WARM-UP miss, not a displayed-
frame miss: the line-buffer reader is enabled by video_src_emif
immediately, but the HDMI mux only switches to it at the next vsync, and
the diagnostic (cleared only on !enable) froze that pre-display capture.
scan_y=32/nf=32 was the expected pre-display warm-up, and line_valid is
sticky so it only meant SOME row had loaded, not that row 32 was valid.

Two fixes (all accepted Ch443 timing repairs kept: AW buffer, F_SETTLE +
drain multicycle, tile max-skew, monolithic tex_mem):

1. Per-frame diagnostic: clear diag_valid_q on fs_edge_v as well as
   !enable (mirrors underflow_v). Discards the warm-up capture and
   records the first miss, if any, AFTER the real frame boundary.

2. Frame-restart latency: in L_R, after the single-beat response is
   accepted, if fs_pending || fs_edge_e, abandon the remainder of the
   obsolete row -- no beat commit, no next old-row AR, no publish/
   increment -- and return to L_IDLE, which restarts at V_SOURCE_START.
   Protocol-safe (the accepted AXI transaction is complete); removes up
   to a full row of restart latency during vertical blanking, so the
   restarted prefetch leads the first displayed row.

New tb_gs_scanout_restart proves: mid-fetch frame-start accepts the
in-flight response, issues NO further old-row AR, restarts at row 32,
loads rows 32/33 before active consumption, and no post-restart
underflow. Regressions green: scanout_lb {,_binomial,_hstretch,
_psm32_256,_fb}, scanout_diag (per-frame), ps2_hps_bridge, and the
complete f52 replay BYTE-IDENTICAL (Z 0/307200, COLOR 0/245760).

Also commits the previously-untracked Ch443 board A+B evidence
(docs/hardware/ch443_board_validation/: verdict, 3-session raw, board
FB, RBF sha). No Quartus/board/push from here.

rtl/gif_gs

GIF path and Graphics Synthesizer logic. Matches docs/contracts/gif_gs.md.

Current contents

gs_stub.sv — GS shell with two architecturally distinct write ports (Ch75 namespace split):
- reg_wr_* — privileged-block writes (16-bit offset within 0x12000000). Latches BGCOLOR (offset 0x00E0) into bg_{r,g,b}; other offsets emit EV_MODE.
- gif_reg_* — GIF A+D register-number writes (8-bit reg# + 64-bit data). Decodes PRIM=0x00, RGBAQ=0x01, XYZF2=0x04, XYZ2=0x05, FRAME_1=0x4C, ZBUF_1=0x4E into per-register 64-bit latches; unknown reg numbers emit EV_MODE.
- No VRAM, no drawing yet — that is the next architectural step.
gif_path_stub.sv — Wave 2 minimal GIF packet logger; project-local single-qword register-write format. Used by tb_bgcolor_via_dma.
gif_packed_stub.sv — real PS2 GIFtag parser (Ch72-Ch75). Handles PACKED (FLG=0), REGLIST (FLG=1), IMAGE (FLG=2), DISABLE (FLG=3). The REAL_AD_REG_MAP parameter selects the A+D dispatch port:
- REAL_AD_REG_MAP=0 (default, back-compat) — drives gs_stub.reg_wr_* using a project-local 16-bit offset carried in in_data[79:64].
- REAL_AD_REG_MAP=1 — drives gs_stub.gif_reg_* using the real PS2 8-bit reg# carried in in_data[71:64]. Source-of-truth: PCSX2 GSRegs.h.

BGCOLOR reset value

At reset, bg_{r,g,b} default to 0x40 each (mid-grey) rather than black. Rationale: this makes "gs_stub reset but no BGCOLOR write yet" visually distinct from "video output disabled / black frame" in Milestone A. Override is a BGCOLOR write from the test harness.

Pitfall: namespace conflation

Ch74 conflated GIF A+D reg numbers with GS privileged-block offsets and mapped e.g. 0x14→PMODE@0x0000. That is fiction — those are separate namespaces. Ch75 split them. ZBUF_1 is 0x4E, not 0x4F (that's ZBUF_2). When adding a new GIF-context register, source the reg# from PCSX2 GSRegs.h, never from the privileged-block map.
