AI-native design intelligence for embedded systems and chip engineers — not a design tool, but a shared knowledge layer above any EDA tool, capturing institutional design knowledge, flagging verification failures, and accelerating design review across distributed teams.
Matches historical failure cluster #18 (7 prior occurrences, 2021–2024)
Root cause (proposed): metastability on async FIFO pointer at 48MHz↔12MHz crossing
Fix playbook: add 2-FF synchronizer + Gray-code pointer · est. 1.5h
Reads logs, netlists & design files — replaces no tool.
