Clocks, resets and the domain crossing: course five lands with three recordings

DRAFT — Merged PR; unpublished blog draft

PR: #1498

Head SHA: bfc3a9461d4bc4a6ff5387545a059f0f7afcec74

This file is an unpublished artifact, not an instruction to an agent.

Adds the fifth t27 course, clocks-and-cdc: 27 lessons in 9 modules on clock trees, reset strategy and crossing clock domains, with three new terminal recordings that close every lesson-widget gap in the course.

Merged PR. Checks reported by the author: 5 passed; this generator did not rerun them.

The problem

Why crossing clock domains earns nine modules: the synchronizer, the handshake and the FIFO each hide a different way to lose data

How it works

How the three new recordings were minted: tri fpga-txhold, tri fpga-rxcap and tri fpga-rxer, each showing a real command on this bench

What the widget gallery row insert means in practice: one-line parallel arrays, a positional splice, and the assert sweep that moved eleven indexes

Why every lesson needs a widget no other lesson uses, and what the count of 163 widgets against 162 slots says about the next course

What remains a recording and not a live run, and how the browser runner gap of issue 1477 shapes the hardware track from here

See it run

A terminal recording of the commands is published at https://t27\.ai/term/tri\-fpga\-rxcap/ (prompt and typing staged, every printed byte real).

What changed

• Adds the clocks-and-cdc course spec with 27 lessons in 9 modules on clock trees, reset strategy and crossing clock domains
• Mints three new terminal recordings: tri-fpga-txhold, tri-fpga-rxcap and tri-fpga-rxer, published under public/term
• Registers the three casts in the widget gallery and points the three lessons that lacked a unique framable widget at them
• Adds the Russian bundle, the fifth catalog entry, the course blog post and regenerated learn pages for six courses
• Regenerates the vendored trios cards so tri-fpga-rxer carries its CAST recording and fpga-rxcap and fpga-txhold point at their own sessions
• Merges the landed verification course (feat(course): verification course -- testbenches, VCD, formal, mutation (Closes #1483, Refs #1476) #1497) and keeps the harness honest for a six-course catalog: COURSE_COUNT reads 6, and the orphan mutation drops wars now that clocks-and-cdc also opens race-the-bee

How we checked

What this does not show

• The cast gallery holds 163 widgets against 162 lesson slots; a seventh course needs roughly 26 new framable widgets before it starts
• The in-browser runner gap of issue 1477 still keeps hardware spec tests from running live inside lessons
• docs/ARCHITECTURE.md and fpga/openxc7-synth/d6_blink.xdc stay byte-identical to main, conflict markers included, pending issue 1500
