Reference policy and checklists defining artifact and quality gates, retry rules, and escalation for the RTL→Verification (Phase 4→5) pipeline in hardware verif
This policy document codifies the Phase 4→5 transition rules for RTL implementation and verification: artifact gates (required files and smoke tests), quality gates (functional coverage, lint, traceability), retry policies, feedback-loop classifications, and failure escalation. It provides the checklist and state conventions needed to automate or audit phase transitions in a hardware verification pipeline.
Use when orchestrating or reviewing RTL→Verification handoffs: gating releases from implementation to verification, running automated checks before phase transitions, enforcing coding and naming conventions, or when classifying and handling feedback loops that arise during verification. It's a reference for reviewer agents and pipeline orchestrators.
Best used by CI/orchestration agents, verification reviewer agents, and developer-facing bots that enforce gate checks, collect evidence, and escalate policy violations to humans.
