## Electrical Requirements and Scoring
-Physical checks and declared functional bounds remain mandatory. Quality has no
-fixed allowed-degradation threshold. Each `source_*` job simulates the declared
-source circuit with exactly the same testbench, model resources, parameters,
-load and measurement window as its paired extracted-candidate job. A source
-observation is the 100-point electrical baseline; it is independent of the
-submitted GDS. All individual pairs are retained in the evaluation report.
-
-For a post-layout observation x and its source observation b:
-
-- Maximize: q = x/b; minimize: q = b/x. When a numerical scale s is declared,
- use (x+s)/(b+s) or its inverse. This handles zero-valued error measurements;
- s is a normalization floor, not an allowed degradation or pass threshold.
-- Amplitude dB: q = 10^((x-b)/20) for maximize, its inverse for minimize.
-- Target: q = 1/(1+abs(x-b)/s), with a declared physical scale s. Signed and
- zero-valued operating points are never divided directly.
-
-Scoring uses `layout`. A metric uses its worst paired quality q. The score is
-S = 100 * product(q_i ** w_i), including area quality
-q_area = area_reference / candidate_functional_area. The weights below sum to
-one. Dimensions describe measurements but do not determine their weights.
-Physical or functional rejection scores zero; missing or invalid measurements
-produce an unknown score, including measurements with zero weight.
-Source-equivalent performance at the area reference scores 100; improvements
-can exceed 100. A weight expresses a tradeoff, not a hard acceptance limit.
-
-Every declared simulation must complete with finite measurements and complete raw records. Transient means use full-precision cumulative integration with interpolated endpoint corrections; incomplete windows are errors. PP denotes the full finite-window range, including any oscillation or slow drift. No phase margin, loop gain, settling time or periodic steady state is claimed.
+Physical checks and the declared functional bounds must pass. Quality scoring imposes no fixed degradation allowance. Each `source_*` job and its corresponding candidate extracted circuit use exactly the same testbench, model resources, parameters, loads and measurement windows. Independent source observations define the 100-point electrical baseline without depending on the submitted GDS; reports retain every paired result.
+
+Let x be the post-layout measurement and b the source-circuit measurement under the same conditions:
+
+- Ratio normalization: maximize with q = x/b and minimize with q = b/x. When a numerical scale s is declared, use (x+s)/(b+s) and its reciprocal, respectively. The scale handles zero values as a normalization floor; it is neither an allowed degradation nor an acceptance bound.
+- Amplitude in dB: maximize with q = 10^((x-b)/20) and minimize with its reciprocal.
+- Target normalization: q = 1/(1+abs(x-b)/s), where s is the declared physical scale. Signed or zero-valued operating points are not divided directly.
+
+Use `layout` scoring. Each metric takes its worst paired quality q, and the total score is S = 100 * product(q_i ** w_i), with area quality q_area = area_reference / candidate_functional_area. The weights below sum to 1; metric dimensions describe measurements and do not determine weights. Physical or functional rejection scores zero; missing or invalid measurements leave the score unknown, and zero-weight observations must also be valid. Matching source-circuit performance at the reference area scores 100 points; better valid solutions may exceed 100. Weights express quality tradeoffs rather than hard bounds.
+
+Complete every declared simulation, with finite measurements and complete raw records. Transient means use full-precision cumulative integration and interpolated endpoint corrections; incomplete windows are errors. PP is the range over the entire finite window, including oscillation or slow drift. It does not establish phase margin, loop gain, settling time or periodic steady state.

Recovery is relative to the mean before the current disturbance and does not prove asymptotic settling. Every window evaluates both zero-excitation and disturbance conditions.
Performance is continuously paired with the independently simulated source under exactly the same conditions. Gain quality is 10^((candidate−source)/20); target quality is 1/(1+abs(candidate−source)/scale); inverse-ratio quality is (source+floor)/(candidate+floor). Area quality is Q = 361466.3 um2 / functional area. The bias scale is 1.2 V; closed-response scale is 6 dB (factor two in amplitude). Error/range floors are 0.1 mV for differential error (1% of the 10 mV step) and 1 mV for common-mode excursions; power floor is 1 pW. Physical/domain and fixture-validity gates are not upstream product targets.
The compact-area anchor sums m*((W+2.4)*(L+2.4)+3.2^2) um2 for MOS, 1.2*C/(1.5 fF/um2) for physical capacitor envelopes, and 2*R/(1360 Ohm) um2 for resistor envelopes, then adds 50% global routing allowance. It is an engineering estimate independent of the reference GDS. Coefficient 9 reflects two interacting transistor CM loops, high-impedance sensing and large physical passive networks.
+### Measurement validity
+Absolute errors, excursions and peak-to-peak ranges must be nonnegative. Net supply/bias consumption must be nonnegative for the powered amplifier. The AC fixture common-mode residue and DC feedback error must each remain within 1 uV so that the declared differential excitation is actually measured. These measurement-validity requirements have explicit rationales in `case.toml`; the scored response, stability observations and power have no additional upper performance rejection budgets. Missing or unusable measurements remain evaluation errors.

+All three conditions must complete, and each finite observation must satisfy its inclusive interval; aggregation cannot hide a failed condition. Missing measurements/crossings or incomplete extraction cannot establish success.
+
+Physical checks and the declared functional bounds must pass. Quality scoring imposes no fixed degradation allowance. Each `source_*` job and its corresponding candidate extracted circuit use exactly the same testbench, model resources, parameters, loads and measurement windows. Independent source observations define the 100-point electrical baseline without depending on the submitted GDS; reports retain every paired result.
+
+Let x be the post-layout measurement and b the source-circuit measurement under the same conditions:
+
+- Ratio normalization: maximize with q = x/b and minimize with q = b/x. When a numerical scale s is declared, use (x+s)/(b+s) and its reciprocal, respectively. The scale handles zero values as a normalization floor; it is neither an allowed degradation nor an acceptance bound.
+- Amplitude in dB: maximize with q = 10^((x-b)/20) and minimize with its reciprocal.
+- Target normalization: q = 1/(1+abs(x-b)/s), where s is the declared physical scale. Signed or zero-valued operating points are not divided directly.
+
+Use `layout` scoring. Each metric takes its worst paired quality q, and the total score is S = 100 * product(q_i ** w_i), with area quality q_area = area_reference / candidate_functional_area. The weights below sum to 1; metric dimensions describe measurements and do not determine weights. Physical or functional rejection scores zero; missing or invalid measurements leave the score unknown, and zero-weight observations must also be valid. Matching source-circuit performance at the reference area scores 100 points; better valid solutions may exceed 100. Weights express quality tradeoffs rather than hard bounds.
+
+`recovery_up_v` and `recovery_down_v` use `saturating_ratio`. Candidate error x, paired source error b and the positive scale s below define q = 2(b+s)/(b+x+2s). Source-equivalent error gives q=1; decreasing error approaches the upper quality limit 2 with diminishing returns. The scale retains its declared unit and numerical-floor meaning. Normalize each operating condition before taking the worst paired quality; other metrics retain their own declared normalization and functional requirements.

## Physical Requirements
Submit a valid GDSII containing top cell `cmfb_002_5t_pmos_input`, at most 10485760 bytes. Pass the pinned native DRC profile, named-interface LVS and functional outline checks. Maximum functional width/height are 5000/1000 um. The complete functional layer set is `[[1, 0], [3, 0], [5, 0], [6, 0], [7, 0], [8, 0], [10, 0], [11, 0], [13, 0], [14, 0], [19, 0], [24, 0], [26, 0], [28, 0], [29, 0], [30, 0], [31, 0], [32, 0], [33, 0], [35, 0], [36, 0], [40, 0], [44, 0], [46, 0], [49, 0], [50, 0], [51, 0], [52, 0], [53, 0], [55, 0], [58, 0], [66, 0], [67, 0], [90, 0], [101, 0], [111, 0], [125, 0], [126, 0], [128, 0], [129, 0], [133, 0], [134, 0], [139, 0], [152, 0]]` (layer/datatype pairs); text/annotation geometry is excluded. There are no case-local DRC waivers. Geometry bounds are generous task/resource limits, not an area score anchor.
-Post-layout simulation must consume native candidate-GDS-derived distributed wire RC, retaining every physical MOS, resistor and capacitor. Native LVS alone does not substitute for PEX. Magic uses ideal well/substrate tap connections; source simulation retains native finite tap models. This boundary does not establish distributed substrate resistance or substrate-noise accuracy.
+Post-layout simulation uses distributed wire RC from native candidate GDS and retains physical MOS, resistors and capacitors; LVS cannot replace PEX. Magic idealizes well/substrate contacts while source simulation retains finite native contact models; no distributed substrate resistance or noise accuracy is claimed.
## Electrical Requirements and Scoring
-Physical checks and declared functional bounds remain mandatory. Quality has no
-fixed allowed-degradation threshold. Each `source_*` job simulates the declared
-source circuit with exactly the same testbench, model resources, parameters,
-load and measurement window as its paired extracted-candidate job. A source
-observation is the 100-point electrical baseline; it is independent of the
-submitted GDS. All individual pairs are retained in the evaluation report.
-
-For a post-layout observation x and its source observation b:
-
-- Maximize: q = x/b; minimize: q = b/x. When a numerical scale s is declared,
- use (x+s)/(b+s) or its inverse. This handles zero-valued error measurements;
- s is a normalization floor, not an allowed degradation or pass threshold.
-- Amplitude dB: q = 10^((x-b)/20) for maximize, its inverse for minimize.
-- Target: q = 1/(1+abs(x-b)/s), with a declared physical scale s. Signed and
- zero-valued operating points are never divided directly.
-
-Scoring uses `layout`. A metric uses its worst paired quality q. The score is
-S = 100 * product(q_i ** w_i), including area quality
-q_area = area_reference / candidate_functional_area. The weights below sum to
-one. Dimensions describe measurements but do not determine their weights.
-Physical or functional rejection scores zero; missing or invalid measurements
-produce an unknown score, including measurements with zero weight.
-Source-equivalent performance at the area reference scores 100; improvements
-can exceed 100. A weight expresses a tradeoff, not a hard acceptance limit.
+Physical checks and the declared functional bounds must pass. Quality scoring imposes no fixed degradation allowance. Each `source_*` job and its corresponding candidate extracted circuit use exactly the same testbench, model resources, parameters, loads and measurement windows. Independent source observations define the 100-point electrical baseline without depending on the submitted GDS; reports retain every paired result.
+
+Let x be the post-layout measurement and b the source-circuit measurement under the same conditions:
+
+- Ratio normalization: maximize with q = x/b and minimize with q = b/x. When a numerical scale s is declared, use (x+s)/(b+s) and its reciprocal, respectively. The scale handles zero values as a normalization floor; it is neither an allowed degradation nor an acceptance bound.
+- Amplitude in dB: maximize with q = 10^((x-b)/20) and minimize with its reciprocal.
+- Target normalization: q = 1/(1+abs(x-b)/s), where s is the declared physical scale. Signed or zero-valued operating points are not divided directly.
+
+Use `layout` scoring. Each metric takes its worst paired quality q, and the total score is S = 100 * product(q_i ** w_i), with area quality q_area = area_reference / candidate_functional_area. The weights below sum to 1; metric dimensions describe measurements and do not determine weights. Physical or functional rejection scores zero; missing or invalid measurements leave the score unknown, and zero-weight observations must also be valid. Matching source-circuit performance at the reference area scores 100 points; better valid solutions may exceed 100. Weights express quality tradeoffs rather than hard bounds.
Coefficient 4 covers a compact gain/bias/passive network. Nonnegative common-mode and nonpositive reference DC slopes are functional sign-domain constraints. Both include zero and do not establish a minimum response magnitude. Reported response/ripple windows do not certify a closed-loop CM regulator or upstream optimization claims.
-Every required condition must yield finite, valid measurements and pass the functional bounds below. Missing or invalid extraction/measurements are evaluation errors, not low performance scores.
+Every required condition must produce finite, valid measurements and pass the functional bounds below. Missing or invalid extraction/measurements are evaluation errors and cannot be replaced by a low performance score.
-| Metric | Unit | Definition | Dimension / normalization | Functional bounds |
+`ripple_v` uses `saturating_ratio`: q = 2(b+s)/(b+x+2s), where x is candidate error, b is paired source error and s is the positive scale below. Source equivalence gives q=1; improvement approaches the upper limit 2 with diminishing returns. The scale retains its declared unit and numerical-floor meaning. Normalize each condition before taking the worst quality; other rules follow their declarations.

-The candidate GDS must pass artifact, DRC, LVS and hard geometry before extraction. Magic candidate-derived distributed interconnect resistance and capacitance, with zero coupling-capacitance threshold, feed the supplied testbench. Internal MIM devices remain in candidate extraction. Source simulation alone cannot establish acceptance. This is nominal block qualification, not fabrication signoff.
+Candidate GDS first passes file, DRC, LVS and hard geometry checks; Magic then extracts distributed interconnect RC with zero coupling-capacitance threshold and retains internal MIM. The supplied testbench uses the candidate extracted circuit; source simulation cannot replace acceptance. This is nominal module verification, not manufacturing signoff.
## Electrical Requirements and Scoring
-Physical checks and declared functional bounds remain mandatory. Quality has no
-fixed allowed-degradation threshold. Each `source_*` job simulates the declared
-source circuit with exactly the same testbench, model resources, parameters,
-load and measurement window as its paired extracted-candidate job. A source
-observation is the 100-point electrical baseline; it is independent of the
-submitted GDS. All individual pairs are retained in the evaluation report.
-
-For a post-layout observation x and its source observation b:
-
-- Maximize: q = x/b; minimize: q = b/x. When a numerical scale s is declared,
- use (x+s)/(b+s) or its inverse. This handles zero-valued error measurements;
- s is a normalization floor, not an allowed degradation or pass threshold.
-- Amplitude dB: q = 10^((x-b)/20) for maximize, its inverse for minimize.
-- Target: q = 1/(1+abs(x-b)/s), with a declared physical scale s. Signed and
- zero-valued operating points are never divided directly.
-
-Scoring uses `layout`. A metric uses its worst paired quality q. The score is
-S = 100 * product(q_i ** w_i), including area quality
-q_area = area_reference / candidate_functional_area. The weights below sum to
-one. Dimensions describe measurements but do not determine their weights.
-Physical or functional rejection scores zero; missing or invalid measurements
-produce an unknown score, including measurements with zero weight.
-Source-equivalent performance at the area reference scores 100; improvements
-can exceed 100. A weight expresses a tradeoff, not a hard acceptance limit.
-

+Physical checks and the declared functional bounds must pass. Quality scoring imposes no fixed degradation allowance. Each `source_*` job and its corresponding candidate extracted circuit use exactly the same testbench, model resources, parameters, loads and measurement windows. Independent source observations define the 100-point electrical baseline without depending on the submitted GDS; reports retain every paired result.
+
+Let x be the post-layout measurement and b the source-circuit measurement under the same conditions:
+
+- Ratio normalization: maximize with q = x/b and minimize with q = b/x. When a numerical scale s is declared, use (x+s)/(b+s) and its reciprocal, respectively. The scale handles zero values as a normalization floor; it is neither an allowed degradation nor an acceptance bound.
+- Amplitude in dB: maximize with q = 10^((x-b)/20) and minimize with its reciprocal.
+- Target normalization: q = 1/(1+abs(x-b)/s), where s is the declared physical scale. Signed or zero-valued operating points are not divided directly.
+
+Use `layout` scoring. Each metric takes its worst paired quality q, and the total score is S = 100 * product(q_i ** w_i), with area quality q_area = area_reference / candidate_functional_area. The weights below sum to 1; metric dimensions describe measurements and do not determine weights. Physical or functional rejection scores zero; missing or invalid measurements leave the score unknown, and zero-weight observations must also be valid. Matching source-circuit performance at the reference area scores 100 points; better valid solutions may exceed 100. Weights express quality tradeoffs rather than hard bounds.
+
+`sample_error_v`, `hold_drift_v` use `saturating_ratio`: q = 2(b+s)/(b+x+2s), where x is candidate error, b is paired source error and s is the positive scale below. Source equivalence gives q=1; improvement approaches the upper limit 2 with diminishing returns. The scale retains its declared unit and numerical-floor meaning. Normalize each condition before taking the worst quality; other rules follow their declarations.

+circuits are outside the physical core. A PAM4 eye/RLM result is not established by these tone and small-signal checks.
## Electrical Requirements and Scoring
-Physical checks and declared functional bounds remain mandatory. Quality has no
-fixed allowed-degradation threshold. Each `source_*` job simulates the declared
-source circuit with exactly the same testbench, model resources, parameters,
-load and measurement window as its paired extracted-candidate job. A source
-observation is the 100-point electrical baseline; it is independent of the
-submitted GDS. All individual pairs are retained in the evaluation report.
-
-For a post-layout observation x and its source observation b:
-
-- Maximize: q = x/b; minimize: q = b/x. When a numerical scale s is declared,
- use (x+s)/(b+s) or its inverse. This handles zero-valued error measurements;
- s is a normalization floor, not an allowed degradation or pass threshold.
-- Amplitude dB: q = 10^((x-b)/20) for maximize, its inverse for minimize.
-- Target: q = 1/(1+abs(x-b)/s), with a declared physical scale s. Signed and
- zero-valued operating points are never divided directly.
-
-Scoring uses `layout`. A metric uses its worst paired quality q. The score is
-S = 100 * product(q_i ** w_i), including area quality
-q_area = area_reference / candidate_functional_area. The weights below sum to
-one. Dimensions describe measurements but do not determine their weights.
-Physical or functional rejection scores zero; missing or invalid measurements
-produce an unknown score, including measurements with zero weight.
-Source-equivalent performance at the area reference scores 100; improvements
-can exceed 100. A weight expresses a tradeoff, not a hard acceptance limit.
+Physical checks and the declared functional bounds must pass. Quality scoring imposes no fixed degradation allowance. Each `source_*` job and its corresponding candidate extracted circuit use exactly the same testbench, model resources, parameters, loads and measurement windows. Independent source observations remain required evidence; the binary-weighting target below replaces its source scoring anchor. Reports retain every paired result.
+
+Let x be the post-layout measurement and b the declared quality target, or the same-condition source measurement when no target is declared:
+
+- Ratio normalization: maximize with q = x/b and minimize with q = b/x. When a numerical scale s is declared, use (x+s)/(b+s) and its reciprocal, respectively. The scale handles zero values as a normalization floor; it is neither an allowed degradation nor an acceptance bound.
+- Amplitude in dB: maximize with q = 10^((x-b)/20) and minimize with its reciprocal.
+- Target normalization: q = 1/(1+abs(x-b)/s), where s is the declared physical scale. Signed or zero-valued operating points are not divided directly.
+
+Use `layout` scoring. First compute each metric's raw quality q from the worst paired condition, with raw area quality q_area = area_target / candidate_functional_area. Credit c_i = min(1, q_i) for every positively weighted metric, then compute S = 100 * product(c_i ** w_i). The weights sum to 1 and the score is bounded by 100. An improvement beyond one target cannot compensate for missing another target. Physical or functional rejection scores zero; missing or invalid measurements leave the score unknown, and zero-weight observations must also be valid. Reaching every positively weighted target scores 100; a feasible reference may score far below 100. Weights express quality tradeoffs, not acceptance bounds.
All measurements and their paired source observations must be finite and usable.
-Performance is scored continuously against the same-condition source circuit;
+Performance is scored continuously against the declared quality anchors;
upstream data-sheet targets are not acceptance thresholds. Supply consumption
and output swing must be nonnegative; zero or otherwise unusable ratio baselines
cannot establish a score. Physical checks remain mandatory.

-power ratio. Area quality is `Q = 10000 µm² / functional_area`. The frozen compact
-allowance is 4500 µm² for device rows + 2000 µm² for terminations/loads +
-3500 µm² for routing, vias and substrate contacts. Reflection-coefficient dB
-is the negative of positive return loss, so smaller values improve quality. Physical or electrical rejection scores zero; incomplete evaluation
-cannot establish success. The area target is a compact sizing allowance,
-not the area of a qualified reference.
+Independent source simulation uses the same deck, conditions and models. Binary weighting uses **20*log10(2) = 6.020599913279624 dB** as its quality target and **0.1 dB** as its deviation scale. Gain, relative bandwidth, port reflections, swing and power retain their paired source anchors. Reflection-coefficient dB is the negative of positive return loss, so smaller values improve quality.
+The area quality target is **700 um2**. Neither this area target nor the electrical quality target is an acceptance cutoff.
-### Score weights
+The 700 um2 area budget demands compact HBT/resistor placement while RF quality carries 80%. Binary weighting gets 20% with a 0.1 dB deviation scale (about 1.16% amplitude-ratio change), replacing the previous 6.02 dB scale that hid weighting error. Gain rolloff and port reflection retain distinct frequency measurements and source anchors. Supply power and fundamental swing retain 5% each; fixed DC bias does not dominate the score.
-PAM4 SiGe driver: binary weighting 22.5%; high-frequency transfer 22.5%; port matching 18%; gain and swing 18%; power 9%; area 10%. Each objective's weight is divided equally among its metrics.

Each complementary clock pair runs synchronously at 5 kHz with 50 ns rise/fall, 99.95 us pulse width and 200 us period. All positive phases align. Differential sinusoidal input is 10 mV peak at 100 and 200 Hz; load is 50 fF per output. Maximum timestep is 200 ns with adaptive edge resolution. The test runs 40 ms; 0–20 ms is discarded. The 20–40 ms observation spans 100 chop cycles and two/four signal cycles. Adjacent 20–30/30–40 ms windows report transfer variation. This is a finite-window observation of the full clocked circuit, not a claim of asymptotic periodic stability.

Use the supplied transient testbench on the extracted candidate. Time-weighted sine/cosine integrals give complex differential transfer and input admittance. Full-precision cumulative integrals at the 20/30/40 ms clock breakpoints avoid cancellation of rounded measurement averages. The summed endpoint error must not exceed 1 ps; this is measurement validity, not a circuit performance gate. Input impedance is the magnitude of differential voltage divided by differential source current, where input current is -(i(VP)-i(VN))/2. Residual RMS removes the measured DC and fundamental; full output peak-to-peak also includes signal and all ripple. It must not be represented as switching ripple alone. Input and feedback modulation errors compare clock-demodulated branch voltages to the associated external signals. Raw monitor waveforms support independent checking of the switching paths. Ordinary DC/AC does not replace these measurements.
-Every measurement must be finite. Magnitudes, RMS values and total consumed supply/clock power have nonnegative physical domains. No paper gain, input-impedance boost or ripple specification is a hard gate. Slow common-mode excursions and finite-window variation are reported and scored, not suppressed with a CMFB. The source uses the identical physical devices, clocks, loads and observation windows in an independent simulation. No PAC/PNoise, PSS, noise, mismatch, PVT or supply-startup capability is claimed.
+All measurements must be finite; amplitudes, RMS and total supply/clock consumption power must be nonnegative. Paper gain, input-impedance enhancement and ripple specifications are not hard thresholds. Slow common-mode variation and differences between windows are reported and scored without added CMFB suppression; independent source simulation uses the same devices, clocks, loads and windows. No PAC/PNoise, PSS, noise, mismatch, PVT or power-up startup capability is claimed.
Area quality is Q=71369.42 um2/functional area. The compact estimate sums MOS (W+2.4)(L+2.4), a 3.2² local tap envelope per MOS and one global tap, each MIM (side+2.4)², and forty (.5+2.4)(84.45+2.4) resistor envelopes per bias arm, then adds 50% routing allowance. It is independent of the witness. Gain and input-impedance magnitudes use source ratios; phase is diagnostic to avoid angular-wrap scoring; residual and window variation use inverse ratios with 1 uV floor; output bias uses 1.2 V target scale; power uses inverse ratios with 1 pW floor. Other observations are diagnostics. Coefficient 8 reflects clock modulation coupled to a compensated capacitive signal-feedback loop; no common-mode regulation is assumed.
-Physical checks and declared functional bounds remain mandatory. Quality has no
-fixed allowed-degradation threshold. Each `source_*` job simulates the declared
-source circuit with exactly the same testbench, model resources, parameters,
-load and measurement window as its paired extracted-candidate job. A source
-observation is the 100-point electrical baseline; it is independent of the
-submitted GDS. All individual pairs are retained in the evaluation report.
-
-For a post-layout observation x and its source observation b:
-
-- Maximize: q = x/b; minimize: q = b/x. When a numerical scale s is declared,
- use (x+s)/(b+s) or its inverse. This handles zero-valued error measurements;
- s is a normalization floor, not an allowed degradation or pass threshold.
-- Amplitude dB: q = 10^((x-b)/20) for maximize, its inverse for minimize.
-- Target: q = 1/(1+abs(x-b)/s), with a declared physical scale s. Signed and
- zero-valued operating points are never divided directly.
-
-Scoring uses `layout`. A metric uses its worst paired quality q. The score is
-S = 100 * product(q_i ** w_i), including area quality
-q_area = area_reference / candidate_functional_area. The weights below sum to
-one. Dimensions describe measurements but do not determine their weights.
-Physical or functional rejection scores zero; missing or invalid measurements
-produce an unknown score, including measurements with zero weight.
-Source-equivalent performance at the area reference scores 100; improvements
-can exceed 100. A weight expresses a tradeoff, not a hard acceptance limit.

+Physical checks and the declared functional bounds must pass. Quality scoring imposes no fixed degradation allowance. Each `source_*` job and its corresponding candidate extracted circuit use exactly the same testbench, model resources, parameters, loads and measurement windows. Independent source observations define the 100-point electrical baseline without depending on the submitted GDS; reports retain every paired result.
+
+Let x be the post-layout measurement and b the source-circuit measurement under the same conditions:
+
+- Ratio normalization: maximize with q = x/b and minimize with q = b/x. When a numerical scale s is declared, use (x+s)/(b+s) and its reciprocal, respectively. The scale handles zero values as a normalization floor; it is neither an allowed degradation nor an acceptance bound.
+- Amplitude in dB: maximize with q = 10^((x-b)/20) and minimize with its reciprocal.
+- Target normalization: q = 1/(1+abs(x-b)/s), where s is the declared physical scale. Signed or zero-valued operating points are not divided directly.
+
+Use `layout` scoring. Each metric takes its worst paired quality q, and the total score is S = 100 * product(q_i ** w_i), with area quality q_area = area_reference / candidate_functional_area. The weights below sum to 1; metric dimensions describe measurements and do not determine weights. Physical or functional rejection scores zero; missing or invalid measurements leave the score unknown, and zero-weight observations must also be valid. Matching source-circuit performance at the reference area scores 100 points; better valid solutions may exceed 100. Weights express quality tradeoffs rather than hard bounds.
+
+`residual_rms_v`, `window_change_v` use `saturating_ratio`: q = 2(b+s)/(b+x+2s), where x is candidate error, b is paired source error and s is the positive scale below. Source equivalence gives q=1; improvement approaches the upper limit 2 with diminishing returns. The scale retains its declared unit and numerical-floor meaning. Normalize each condition before taking the worst quality; other rules follow their declarations.

-TT, 27 C, VDD=1.2 V, input common mode and vref=0.6 V; vb1/vb2/vb3/vb4=0.5/0.75/0.45/0.55 V. Each complementary clock pair runs synchronously at 5 kHz with 50 ns rise/fall, 99.95 us pulse width and 200 us period. All positive phases align. Differential sinusoidal input is 10 mV peak at 100 and 200 Hz; load is 50 fF per output. Maximum timestep is 200 ns with adaptive edge resolution. The test runs 40 ms; 0–20 ms is discarded. The 20–40 ms observation spans 100 chop cycles and two/four signal cycles. Adjacent 20–30/30–40 ms windows report transfer variation. This is a finite-window observation of the full clocked circuit, not a claim of asymptotic periodic stability.

Use the supplied transient testbench on the extracted candidate. Time-weighted sine/cosine integrals give complex differential transfer and input admittance. Full-precision cumulative integrals at the 20/30/40 ms clock breakpoints avoid cancellation of rounded measurement averages. The summed endpoint error must not exceed 1 ps; this is measurement validity, not a circuit performance gate. Input impedance is the magnitude of differential voltage divided by differential source current, where input current is -(i(VP)-i(VN))/2. Residual RMS removes the measured DC and fundamental; full output peak-to-peak also includes signal and all ripple. It must not be represented as switching ripple alone. Input and feedback and positive-feedback modulation errors compare clock-demodulated branch voltages to the associated external signals. Raw monitor waveforms support independent checking of the switching paths. Ordinary DC/AC does not replace these measurements.
-Every measurement must be finite. Magnitudes, RMS values and total consumed supply/clock power have nonnegative physical domains. No paper gain, input-impedance boost or ripple specification is a hard gate. Slow common-mode excursions and finite-window variation are reported and scored, not suppressed with a CMFB. The source uses the identical physical devices, clocks, loads and observation windows in an independent simulation. No PAC/PNoise, PSS, noise, mismatch, PVT or supply-startup capability is claimed.
+All measurements must be finite; amplitudes, RMS and total supply/clock consumption power must be nonnegative. Paper gain, input-impedance enhancement and ripple specifications are not hard thresholds. Slow common-mode variation and differences between windows are reported and scored without added CMFB suppression; independent source simulation uses the same devices, clocks, loads and windows. No PAC/PNoise, PSS, noise, mismatch, PVT or power-up startup capability is claimed.
Area quality is Q=73567.47 um2/functional area. The compact estimate sums MOS (W+2.4)(L+2.4), a 3.2² local tap envelope per MOS and one global tap, each MIM (side+2.4)², and forty (.5+2.4)(84.45+2.4) resistor envelopes per bias arm, then adds 50% routing allowance. It is independent of the witness. Gain and input-impedance magnitudes use source ratios; phase is diagnostic to avoid angular-wrap scoring; residual and window variation use inverse ratios with 1 uV floor; output bias uses 1.2 V target scale; power uses inverse ratios with 1 pW floor. Other observations are diagnostics. Coefficient 9 reflects interacting positive/negative signal feedback and impedance control under clock modulation; no common-mode regulation is assumed.
-Physical checks and declared functional bounds remain mandatory. Quality has no
-fixed allowed-degradation threshold. Each `source_*` job simulates the declared
-source circuit with exactly the same testbench, model resources, parameters,

+Physical checks and the declared functional bounds must pass. Quality scoring imposes no fixed degradation allowance. Each `source_*` job and its corresponding candidate extracted circuit use exactly the same testbench, model resources, parameters, loads and measurement windows. Independent source observations define the 100-point electrical baseline without depending on the submitted GDS; reports retain every paired result.
+
+Let x be the post-layout measurement and b the source-circuit measurement under the same conditions:
+
+- Ratio normalization: maximize with q = x/b and minimize with q = b/x. When a numerical scale s is declared, use (x+s)/(b+s) and its reciprocal, respectively. The scale handles zero values as a normalization floor; it is neither an allowed degradation nor an acceptance bound.
+- Amplitude in dB: maximize with q = 10^((x-b)/20) and minimize with its reciprocal.
+- Target normalization: q = 1/(1+abs(x-b)/s), where s is the declared physical scale. Signed or zero-valued operating points are not divided directly.
+
+Use `layout` scoring. Each metric takes its worst paired quality q, and the total score is S = 100 * product(q_i ** w_i), with area quality q_area = area_reference / candidate_functional_area. The weights below sum to 1; metric dimensions describe measurements and do not determine weights. Physical or functional rejection scores zero; missing or invalid measurements leave the score unknown, and zero-weight observations must also be valid. Matching source-circuit performance at the reference area scores 100 points; better valid solutions may exceed 100. Weights express quality tradeoffs rather than hard bounds.
+
+`residual_rms_v`, `window_change_v` use `saturating_ratio`: q = 2(b+s)/(b+x+2s), where x is candidate error, b is paired source error and s is the positive scale below. Source equivalence gives q=1; improvement approaches the upper limit 2 with diminishing returns. The scale retains its declared unit and numerical-floor meaning. Normalize each condition before taking the worst quality; other rules follow their declarations.

## Electrical Requirements and Scoring
-Physical checks and declared functional bounds remain mandatory. Quality has no
-fixed allowed-degradation threshold. Each `source_*` job simulates the declared
-source circuit with exactly the same testbench, model resources, parameters,
-load and measurement window as its paired extracted-candidate job. A source
-observation is the 100-point electrical baseline; it is independent of the
-submitted GDS. All individual pairs are retained in the evaluation report.
-
-For a post-layout observation x and its source observation b:
-
-- Maximize: q = x/b; minimize: q = b/x. When a numerical scale s is declared,
- use (x+s)/(b+s) or its inverse. This handles zero-valued error measurements;
- s is a normalization floor, not an allowed degradation or pass threshold.
-- Amplitude dB: q = 10^((x-b)/20) for maximize, its inverse for minimize.
-- Target: q = 1/(1+abs(x-b)/s), with a declared physical scale s. Signed and
- zero-valued operating points are never divided directly.
-
-Scoring uses `layout`. A metric uses its worst paired quality q. The score is
-S = 100 * product(q_i ** w_i), including area quality
-q_area = area_reference / candidate_functional_area. The weights below sum to
-one. Dimensions describe measurements but do not determine their weights.
-Physical or functional rejection scores zero; missing or invalid measurements
-produce an unknown score, including measurements with zero weight.
-Source-equivalent performance at the area reference scores 100; improvements
-can exceed 100. A weight expresses a tradeoff, not a hard acceptance limit.
-
-Measurement definitions below use the supplied SPICE node/source names.
-`v(n)` is node voltage and `i(V)` is current into a voltage source; delivered
-power therefore uses a minus sign. `db(z)=20*log10(abs(z))`, `mag/abs`
-denote magnitude, and `cph` is continuous phase in radians. `find`, `when`,
-`from/to`, and `rise/fall` retain the deck's interpolation, window and
-crossing conventions; SPICE suffixes p/n/u/m/meg/g mean pico/nano/micro/
-milli/mega/giga. Nested `avg`, `min`, `max`, `vecmin/vecmax` and `deriv`
-mean the stated window average, extrema and sampled derivative. All
-declared conditions are measured separately and paired with the same
-source condition; a group uses its worst paired quality.

-| Metric | Definition / observations | Unit | Quality rule | Functional bounds | Scale | Dimension |
+Physical checks and the declared functional bounds must pass. Quality scoring imposes no fixed degradation allowance. Each `source_*` job and its corresponding candidate extracted circuit use exactly the same testbench, model resources, parameters, loads and measurement windows. Independent source observations remain required evidence. The explicit quality targets below supply scoring anchors; otherwise the paired source value is used. Reports retain every paired result.
+
+Let x be the post-layout measurement and b the declared quality target, or the same-condition source measurement when no target is declared:
+
+- Ratio normalization: maximize with q = x/b and minimize with q = b/x. When a numerical scale s is declared, use (x+s)/(b+s) and its reciprocal, respectively. The scale handles zero values as a normalization floor; it is neither an allowed degradation nor an acceptance bound.
+- Amplitude in dB: maximize with q = 10^((x-b)/20) and minimize with its reciprocal.
+- Target normalization: q = 1/(1+abs(x-b)/s), where s is the declared physical scale. Signed or zero-valued operating points are not divided directly.
+
+Use `layout` scoring. Each metric takes its worst paired quality q, and the total score is S = 100 * product(q_i ** w_i), with area quality q_area = area_target / candidate_functional_area. The weights below sum to 1; metric dimensions describe measurements and do not determine weights. Physical or functional rejection scores zero; missing or invalid measurements leave the score unknown, and zero-weight observations must also be valid. Joint attainment of the electrical and area goals scores 100 points; a feasible reference may score far below 100, and better valid solutions may exceed 100. Weights express quality tradeoffs rather than hard bounds.
+
+The measurements below use the supplied SPICE node and source names. `v(n)` is a node voltage; `i(V)` is current flowing into a voltage source, so delivered power uses a negative sign. `db(z)=20*log10(abs(z))`; `mag/abs` denote magnitude, and `cph` denotes continuous phase in radians. `find`, `when`, `from/to` and `rise/fall` follow the deck's interpolation, window and crossing conventions. SPICE suffixes p/n/u/m/meg/g mean pico/nano/micro/milli/mega/giga. Nested `avg`, `min`, `max`, `vecmin/vecmax` and `deriv` represent window averages, extrema and sampled derivatives. Measure each operating condition independently, pair it with the source result under that condition, and take the worst paired quality within each metric group.
+
+For metrics declaring `saturating_ratio`, q = 2(b+s)/(b+x+2*s), using the quality anchor b and the positive scale s in the metric’s units. Equality to the anchor gives quality 1; improvements approach 2. Normalize each condition before selecting the worst quality. These scales and targets do not add acceptance cutoffs.

-Area reference: **102216.79 um2**. 166 expanded device instances; sum of device/contact envelopes 67727.1707 um2, per-side envelope allowance 0.6 um, 50% routing allowance and total outer width/height allowance 1.2 um. Estimate = ceil(100 * (1.5 * envelope_sum + 2 * margin * sqrt(envelope_sum) + margin^2)) / 100. Here margin is the total allowance across two opposite sides; the envelope sum is displayed rounded to four decimals. MOS/passive envelopes use declared W/L (or resistor dimensions) and multiplicity; explicit tap areas and HBT emitter/contact envelopes are included. This is a frozen engineering estimate, not a foundry minimum or a feasibility claim.
The capability coefficient remains **10**; it is independent of
the reference-relative task score.
+### Quality targets and weights
+
+The area quality target is **40000 um2**, independent of the current feasibility witness. It is not a hard area limit or a process minimum.
+
+The 40000 um2 footprint carries 30%. Common-mode-to-differential rejection carries 20%, clock ripple RMS 15%, gain preservation and clock power 10% each, baseline/return error 5% each and supply power 5%. The 25 uV common-mode disturbance and 8 mV ripple goals are near source behavior; clock routing has a 1 nW goal. RMS ripple is the scored ripple measure; its peak-to-peak duplicate, drift and common-mode summaries remain diagnostics. All clock pairs continue switching in the existing fixture.

+Physical checks and the declared functional bounds must pass. Quality scoring imposes no fixed degradation allowance. Each `source_*` job and its corresponding candidate extracted circuit use exactly the same testbench, model resources, parameters, loads and measurement windows. Independent source observations define the 100-point electrical baseline without depending on the submitted GDS; reports retain every paired result.
+
+Let x be the post-layout measurement and b the source-circuit measurement under the same conditions:
+
+- Ratio normalization: maximize with q = x/b and minimize with q = b/x. When a numerical scale s is declared, use (x+s)/(b+s) and its reciprocal, respectively. The scale handles zero values as a normalization floor; it is neither an allowed degradation nor an acceptance bound.
+- Amplitude in dB: maximize with q = 10^((x-b)/20) and minimize with its reciprocal.
+- Target normalization: q = 1/(1+abs(x-b)/s), where s is the declared physical scale. Signed or zero-valued operating points are not divided directly.
+
+Use `layout` scoring. Each metric takes its worst paired quality q, and the total score is S = 100 * product(q_i ** w_i), with area quality q_area = area_reference / candidate_functional_area. The weights below sum to 1; metric dimensions describe measurements and do not determine weights. Physical or functional rejection scores zero; missing or invalid measurements leave the score unknown, and zero-weight observations must also be valid. Matching source-circuit performance at the reference area scores 100 points; better valid solutions may exceed 100. Weights express quality tradeoffs rather than hard bounds.
+
+The measurements below use the supplied SPICE node and source names. `v(n)` is a node voltage; `i(V)` is current flowing into a voltage source, so delivered power uses a negative sign. `db(z)=20*log10(abs(z))`; `mag/abs` denote magnitude, and `cph` denotes continuous phase in radians. `find`, `when`, `from/to` and `rise/fall` follow the deck's interpolation, window and crossing conventions. SPICE suffixes p/n/u/m/meg/g mean pico/nano/micro/milli/mega/giga. Nested `avg`, `min`, `max`, `vecmin/vecmax` and `deriv` represent window averages, extrema and sampled derivatives. Measure each operating condition independently, pair it with the source result under that condition, and take the worst paired quality within each metric group.
+
+`loaded_ripple_v`, `released_ripple_v`, `startup_error_v`, `recovery_load_v`, `recovery_release_v`, `line_span_v`, `load_span_v` use `saturating_ratio`: q = 2(b+s)/(b+x+2s), where x is candidate error, b is paired source error and s is the positive scale below. Source equivalence gives q=1; improvement approaches the upper limit 2 with diminishing returns. s retains the declared units and numeric-floor meaning; normalize each condition before taking the worst quality, and apply other rules as declared.

## Electrical Requirements and Scoring
-Physical checks and declared functional bounds remain mandatory. Quality has no
-fixed allowed-degradation threshold. Each `source_*` job simulates the declared
-source circuit with exactly the same testbench, model resources, parameters,
-load and measurement window as its paired extracted-candidate job. A source
-observation is the 100-point electrical baseline; it is independent of the
-submitted GDS. All individual pairs are retained in the evaluation report.
-
-For a post-layout observation x and its source observation b:
-
-- Maximize: q = x/b; minimize: q = b/x. When a numerical scale s is declared,
- use (x+s)/(b+s) or its inverse. This handles zero-valued error measurements;
- s is a normalization floor, not an allowed degradation or pass threshold.
-- Amplitude dB: q = 10^((x-b)/20) for maximize, its inverse for minimize.
-- Target: q = 1/(1+abs(x-b)/s), with a declared physical scale s. Signed and
- zero-valued operating points are never divided directly.
-
-Scoring uses `layout`. A metric uses its worst paired quality q. The score is
-S = 100 * product(q_i ** w_i), including area quality
-q_area = area_reference / candidate_functional_area. The weights below sum to
-one. Dimensions describe measurements but do not determine their weights.
-Physical or functional rejection scores zero; missing or invalid measurements
-produce an unknown score, including measurements with zero weight.
-Source-equivalent performance at the area reference scores 100; improvements
-can exceed 100. A weight expresses a tradeoff, not a hard acceptance limit.
-
-Measurement definitions below use the supplied SPICE node/source names.
-`v(n)` is node voltage and `i(V)` is current into a voltage source; delivered
-power therefore uses a minus sign. `db(z)=20*log10(abs(z))`, `mag/abs`
-denote magnitude, and `cph` is continuous phase in radians. `find`, `when`,
-`from/to`, and `rise/fall` retain the deck's interpolation, window and
-crossing conventions; SPICE suffixes p/n/u/m/meg/g mean pico/nano/micro/
-milli/mega/giga. Nested `avg`, `min`, `max`, `vecmin/vecmax` and `deriv`
-mean the stated window average, extrema and sampled derivative. All
-declared conditions are measured separately and paired with the same
-source condition; a group uses its worst paired quality.
-
-| Metric | Definition / observations | Unit | Quality rule | Functional bounds | Scale | Dimension |
+Physical checks and the declared functional bounds must pass. Quality scoring imposes no fixed degradation allowance. Each `source_*` job and its corresponding candidate extracted circuit use exactly the same testbench, model resources, parameters, loads and measurement windows. Independent source observations remain required evidence. The explicit quality targets below supply scoring anchors; otherwise the paired source value is used. Reports retain every paired result.
+
+Let x be the post-layout measurement and b the declared quality target, or the same-condition source measurement when no target is declared:
+
+- Ratio normalization: maximize with q = x/b and minimize with q = b/x. When a numerical scale s is declared, use (x+s)/(b+s) and its reciprocal, respectively. The scale handles zero values as a normalization floor; it is neither an allowed degradation nor an acceptance bound.
+- Amplitude in dB: maximize with q = 10^((x-b)/20) and minimize with its reciprocal.
+- Target normalization: q = 1/(1+abs(x-b)/s), where s is the declared physical scale. Signed or zero-valued operating points are not divided directly.
+
+Use `layout` scoring. Each metric takes its worst paired quality q, and the total score is S = 100 * product(q_i ** w_i), with area quality q_area = area_target / candidate_functional_area. The weights below sum to 1; metric dimensions describe measurements and do not determine weights. Physical or functional rejection scores zero; missing or invalid measurements leave the score unknown, and zero-weight observations must also be valid. Joint attainment of the electrical and area goals scores 100 points; a feasible reference may score far below 100, and better valid solutions may exceed 100. Weights express quality tradeoffs rather than hard bounds.
+
+The measurements below use the supplied SPICE node and source names. `v(n)` is a node voltage; `i(V)` is current flowing into a voltage source, so delivered power uses a negative sign. `db(z)=20*log10(abs(z))`; `mag/abs` denote magnitude, and `cph` denotes continuous phase in radians. `find`, `when`, `from/to` and `rise/fall` follow the deck's interpolation, window and crossing conventions. SPICE suffixes p/n/u/m/meg/g mean pico/nano/micro/milli/mega/giga. Nested `avg`, `min`, `max`, `vecmin/vecmax` and `deriv` represent window averages, extrema and sampled derivatives. Measure each operating condition independently, pair it with the source result under that condition, and take the worst paired quality within each metric group.
+
+For metrics declaring `saturating_ratio`, q = 2(b+s)/(b+x+2*s), using the quality anchor b and the positive scale s in the metric’s units. Equality to the anchor gives quality 1; improvements approach 2. Normalize each condition before selecting the worst quality. These scales and targets do not add acceptance cutoffs.
+
+The functional voltage envelope is unipolar 0 to 1.3 V; reversed polarity or operation beyond the supplied rail is outside the regulator interface. The first and final unity crossings must retain the stable 0 to 180 degree negative-feedback phase-margin branch. Net supply consumption and headroom must be nonnegative for this non-boosting regulator. Magnitudes, absolute errors, ranges and physical crossing coordinates must represent their declared measurement domains; missing crossings remain measurement errors. These functional/domain bounds have explicit rationales in `case.toml`. Their positive values remain quality objectives, with no minimum quality score or additional performance cutoff.

+The capability coefficient is **9**, independent of this task's reference-normalized score.
+
+### Quality targets and weights
+
+The area quality target is **70000 um2**, independent of the current feasibility witness. It is not a hard area limit or a process minimum.
+
+The 70000 um2 footprint carries 35%. Load/release recovery carry 15%/10%; load span 10%; line span, headroom, each PSRR frequency and quiescent current carry 5% each. First and final phase-margin preservation share 5% with 10-degree scales. The 5 mV recovery, 1 mV line span, 10 mV load span and 20 mV headroom goals are explicit quality goals. Startup extrema and repeated power/loop summaries remain diagnostic; all functional startup and stability checks remain.
+
+| Metric | Quality anchor | Unit | Scale | Weight |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- | ---: |
+| `functional_area` | 70000 | um2 | — | 0.35 |
+| `headroom_v` | 0.02 | V | 0.001 | 0.05 |
+| `line_span_v` | 0.001 | V | 0.0001 | 0.05 |
+| `load_span_v` | 0.01 | V | 0.001 | 0.1 |
+| `psrr_1khz_db` | paired source | dB | — | 0.05 |
+| `psrr_1mhz_db` | paired source | dB | — | 0.05 |
+| `recovery_load_v` | 0.005 | V | 0.0005 | 0.15 |
+| `recovery_release_v` | 0.005 | V | 0.0005 | 0.1 |
+| `final_phase_margin_deg` | paired source | deg | 10 | 0.025 |
+| `phase_margin_deg` | paired source | deg | 10 | 0.025 |
+| `quiescent_a` | paired source | A | 1e-12 | 0.05 |
+
+Zero-weight paired diagnostics: `output_v`, `regulation_floor_v`, `startup_error_v`, `startup_minimum_v`, `startup_peak_v`, `minimum_return_distance`, `return_phase_excursion_deg`, `dc_gain_db`, `fast_peak_v`, `fast_tail_v`, `final_unity_hz`, `hf_gain_db`, `maximum_v`, `minimum_v`, `unity_hz`, `bias_v`, `mean_power_w`, `power_w`. All unweighted measurements and functional requirements remain checked.
+
+The targets above affect continuous quality only. A complete feasible reference is allowed to miss them; there is no minimum qualifying score.

-load and measurement window as its paired extracted-candidate job. A source

-
-For a post-layout observation x and its source observation b:

- use (x+s)/(b+s) or its inverse. This handles zero-valued error measurements;
- s is a normalization floor, not an allowed degradation or pass threshold.
-- Amplitude dB: q = 10^((x-b)/20) for maximize, its inverse for minimize.
-- Target: q = 1/(1+abs(x-b)/s), with a declared physical scale s. Signed and
- zero-valued operating points are never divided directly.
-
-Scoring uses `layout`. A metric uses its worst paired quality q. The score is
-S = 100 * product(q_i ** w_i), including area quality
-q_area = area_reference / candidate_functional_area. The weights below sum to
-one. Dimensions describe measurements but do not determine their weights.
-Physical or functional rejection scores zero; missing or invalid measurements
-produce an unknown score, including measurements with zero weight.
-Source-equivalent performance at the area reference scores 100; improvements
-can exceed 100. A weight expresses a tradeoff, not a hard acceptance limit.
-
-Measurement definitions below use the supplied SPICE node/source names.
-`v(n)` is node voltage and `i(V)` is current into a voltage source; delivered

-`from/to`, and `rise/fall` retain the deck's interpolation, window and

-declared conditions are measured separately and paired with the same
-source condition; a group uses its worst paired quality.

+Physical checks and the declared functional bounds must pass. Quality scoring imposes no fixed degradation allowance. Each `source_*` job and its corresponding candidate extracted circuit use exactly the same testbench, model resources, parameters, loads and measurement windows. Independent source observations define the 100-point electrical baseline without depending on the submitted GDS; reports retain every paired result.
+
+Let x be the post-layout measurement and b the source-circuit measurement under the same conditions:
+
+- Ratio normalization: maximize with q = x/b and minimize with q = b/x. When a numerical scale s is declared, use (x+s)/(b+s) and its reciprocal, respectively. The scale handles zero values as a normalization floor; it is neither an allowed degradation nor an acceptance bound.
+- Amplitude in dB: maximize with q = 10^((x-b)/20) and minimize with its reciprocal.
+- Target normalization: q = 1/(1+abs(x-b)/s), where s is the declared physical scale. Signed or zero-valued operating points are not divided directly.
+
+Use `layout` scoring. Each metric takes its worst paired quality q, and the total score is S = 100 * product(q_i ** w_i), with area quality q_area = area_reference / candidate_functional_area. The weights below sum to 1; metric dimensions describe measurements and do not determine weights. Physical or functional rejection scores zero; missing or invalid measurements leave the score unknown, and zero-weight observations must also be valid. Matching source-circuit performance at the reference area scores 100 points; better valid solutions may exceed 100. Weights express quality tradeoffs rather than hard bounds.
+
+The measurements below use the supplied SPICE node and source names. `v(n)` is a node voltage; `i(V)` is current flowing into a voltage source, so delivered power uses a negative sign. `db(z)=20*log10(abs(z))`; `mag/abs` denote magnitude, and `cph` denotes continuous phase in radians. `find`, `when`, `from/to` and `rise/fall` follow the deck's interpolation, window and crossing conventions. SPICE suffixes p/n/u/m/meg/g mean pico/nano/micro/milli/mega/giga. Nested `avg`, `min`, `max`, `vecmin/vecmax` and `deriv` represent window averages, extrema and sampled derivatives. Measure each operating condition independently, pair it with the source result under that condition, and take the worst paired quality within each metric group.
+
+`startup_error_v`, `recovery_load_v`, `recovery_release_v`, `line_span_v`, `load_span_v` use `saturating_ratio`: q = 2(b+s)/(b+x+2s), where x is candidate error, b is paired source error and s is the positive scale below. Source equivalence gives q=1; improvement approaches the upper limit 2 with diminishing returns. s retains the declared units and numeric-floor meaning; normalize each condition before taking the worst quality, and apply other rules as declared.

## Electrical Requirements and Scoring
-Physical checks and declared functional bounds remain mandatory. Quality has no
-fixed allowed-degradation threshold. Each `source_*` job simulates the declared
-source circuit with exactly the same testbench, model resources, parameters,
-load and measurement window as its paired extracted-candidate job. A source
-observation is the 100-point electrical baseline; it is independent of the
-submitted GDS. All individual pairs are retained in the evaluation report.
-
-For a post-layout observation x and its source observation b:
-
-- Maximize: q = x/b; minimize: q = b/x. When a numerical scale s is declared,
- use (x+s)/(b+s) or its inverse. This handles zero-valued error measurements;
- s is a normalization floor, not an allowed degradation or pass threshold.
-- Amplitude dB: q = 10^((x-b)/20) for maximize, its inverse for minimize.
-- Target: q = 1/(1+abs(x-b)/s), with a declared physical scale s. Signed and
- zero-valued operating points are never divided directly.
-
-Scoring uses `layout`. A metric uses its worst paired quality q. The score is
-S = 100 * product(q_i ** w_i), including area quality
-q_area = area_reference / candidate_functional_area. The weights below sum to
-one. Dimensions describe measurements but do not determine their weights.
-Physical or functional rejection scores zero; missing or invalid measurements
-produce an unknown score, including measurements with zero weight.
-Source-equivalent performance at the area reference scores 100; improvements
-can exceed 100. A weight expresses a tradeoff, not a hard acceptance limit.
-
-Measurement definitions below use the supplied SPICE node/source names.
-`v(n)` is node voltage and `i(V)` is current into a voltage source; delivered
-power therefore uses a minus sign. `db(z)=20*log10(abs(z))`, `mag/abs`
-denote magnitude, and `cph` is continuous phase in radians. `find`, `when`,
-`from/to`, and `rise/fall` retain the deck's interpolation, window and
-crossing conventions; SPICE suffixes p/n/u/m/meg/g mean pico/nano/micro/
-milli/mega/giga. Nested `avg`, `min`, `max`, `vecmin/vecmax` and `deriv`
-mean the stated window average, extrema and sampled derivative. All
-declared conditions are measured separately and paired with the same
-source condition; a group uses its worst paired quality.
-
-| Metric | Definition / observations | Unit | Quality rule | Functional bounds | Scale | Dimension |
+Physical checks and the declared functional bounds must pass. Quality scoring imposes no fixed degradation allowance. Each `source_*` job and its corresponding candidate extracted circuit use exactly the same testbench, model resources, parameters, loads and measurement windows. Independent source observations remain required evidence. The explicit quality targets below supply scoring anchors; otherwise the paired source value is used. Reports retain every paired result.
+
+Let x be the post-layout measurement and b the declared quality target, or the same-condition source measurement when no target is declared:
+
+- Ratio normalization: maximize with q = x/b and minimize with q = b/x. When a numerical scale s is declared, use (x+s)/(b+s) and its reciprocal, respectively. The scale handles zero values as a normalization floor; it is neither an allowed degradation nor an acceptance bound.
+- Amplitude in dB: maximize with q = 10^((x-b)/20) and minimize with its reciprocal.
+- Target normalization: q = 1/(1+abs(x-b)/s), where s is the declared physical scale. Signed or zero-valued operating points are not divided directly.
+
+Use `layout` scoring. Each metric takes its worst paired quality q, and the total score is S = 100 * product(q_i ** w_i), with area quality q_area = area_target / candidate_functional_area. The weights below sum to 1; metric dimensions describe measurements and do not determine weights. Physical or functional rejection scores zero; missing or invalid measurements leave the score unknown, and zero-weight observations must also be valid. Joint attainment of the electrical and area goals scores 100 points; a feasible reference may score far below 100, and better valid solutions may exceed 100. Weights express quality tradeoffs rather than hard bounds.

+The measurements below use the supplied SPICE node and source names. `v(n)` is a node voltage; `i(V)` is current flowing into a voltage source, so delivered power uses a negative sign. `db(z)=20*log10(abs(z))`; `mag/abs` denote magnitude, and `cph` denotes continuous phase in radians. `find`, `when`, `from/to` and `rise/fall` follow the deck's interpolation, window and crossing conventions. SPICE suffixes p/n/u/m/meg/g mean pico/nano/micro/milli/mega/giga. Nested `avg`, `min`, `max`, `vecmin/vecmax` and `deriv` represent window averages, extrema and sampled derivatives. Measure each operating condition independently, pair it with the source result under that condition, and take the worst paired quality within each metric group.
+
+For metrics declaring `saturating_ratio`, q = 2(b+s)/(b+x+2*s), using the quality anchor b and the positive scale s in the metric’s units. Equality to the anchor gives quality 1; improvements approach 2. Normalize each condition before selecting the worst quality. These scales and targets do not add acceptance cutoffs.

Estimate = ceil(100 * (1.5 * envelope_sum + 2 * margin * sqrt(envelope_sum) + margin^2)) / 100. Here margin is the total allowance across two opposite sides; the envelope sum is displayed rounded to four decimals. MOS/passive envelopes use declared W/L (or resistor dimensions) and multiplicity; explicit tap areas and HBT emitter/contact envelopes are included. This is a frozen engineering estimate, not a foundry minimum or a feasibility claim.

+### Quality targets and weights
+
+The area quality target is **300 um2**, independent of the current feasibility witness. It is not a hard area limit or a process minimum.
+The 300 um2 footprint carries 30%. Held-value accuracy carries 25%; pedestal, off-state feedthrough, tracking and clock energy carry 10% each; reacquisition carries 5%. Hold drift is retained as a diagnostic decomposition of held-value error. Explicit physical goals avoid defining perfect accuracy from near-zero source samples, while the worst of all 16 sample/temperature/off-state conditions determines each quality factor.

## Operating Conditions
-1.5 V supply. DC on/off conditions use signal common modes 0.15, 0.75 and 1.35 V and both signs of a 10 mV port difference. On controls are 1.5/0 V; off controls are 0/1.5 V. Ron is the absolute port drop divided by actual port-source current, accepted only above 1 nA and independently checked for the correct current direction. Off leakage uses held voltages at both terminals. Dynamic tests drive each direction separately through 100 ohm, with a 1 pF receiving load and 1 Mohm resistor to the selected common mode. Signal steps are common-mode ±50 mV with 1 ns edges starting at 20 ns; separate static-input runs isolate control feedthrough. Complementary controls turn off at 70 ns for 60 ns, with matched 1 ns edges, no extra overlap/dead interval. Runs start from DC and end at 180 ns with maximum 50 ps steps. The finite receiving resistance defines the off-node behavior physically. The isolated window-marker source only schedules exact time breakpoints; it connects to no DUT terminal.

## Physical Requirements
Submit a valid GDSII containing top cell `sw_001_transmission_gate_pair`, at most 10485760 bytes. Pass the pinned native DRC profile, named-interface LVS and functional outline checks. Maximum functional width/height are 5000/1000 um. The complete functional layer set is `[[1, 0], [3, 0], [5, 0], [6, 0], [7, 0], [8, 0], [10, 0], [11, 0], [13, 0], [14, 0], [19, 0], [24, 0], [26, 0], [28, 0], [29, 0], [30, 0], [31, 0], [32, 0], [33, 0], [35, 0], [36, 0], [40, 0], [44, 0], [46, 0], [49, 0], [50, 0], [51, 0], [52, 0], [53, 0], [55, 0], [58, 0], [66, 0], [67, 0], [90, 0], [101, 0], [111, 0], [125, 0], [126, 0], [128, 0], [129, 0], [133, 0], [134, 0], [139, 0], [152, 0]]` (layer/datatype pairs); text/annotation geometry is excluded. There are no case-local DRC waivers. Geometry bounds are generous task/resource limits, not an area score anchor.
-Post-layout simulation must consume native candidate-GDS-derived distributed wire RC, retaining every physical MOS, resistor and capacitor. Native LVS alone does not substitute for PEX. Magic uses ideal well/substrate tap connections; source simulation retains native finite tap models. This boundary does not establish distributed substrate resistance or substrate-noise accuracy.
+Post-layout simulation uses distributed wire RC from native candidate GDS and retains physical MOS, resistors and capacitors; LVS cannot replace PEX. Magic idealizes well/substrate contacts while source simulation retains finite native contact models; no distributed substrate resistance or noise accuracy is claimed.
## Electrical Requirements and Scoring
-Physical checks and declared functional bounds remain mandatory. Quality has no
-fixed allowed-degradation threshold. Each `source_*` job simulates the declared
-source circuit with exactly the same testbench, model resources, parameters,
-load and measurement window as its paired extracted-candidate job. A source
-observation is the 100-point electrical baseline; it is independent of the
-submitted GDS. All individual pairs are retained in the evaluation report.
-
-For a post-layout observation x and its source observation b:
-
-- Maximize: q = x/b; minimize: q = b/x. When a numerical scale s is declared,
- use (x+s)/(b+s) or its inverse. This handles zero-valued error measurements;
- s is a normalization floor, not an allowed degradation or pass threshold.
-- Amplitude dB: q = 10^((x-b)/20) for maximize, its inverse for minimize.
-- Target: q = 1/(1+abs(x-b)/s), with a declared physical scale s. Signed and
- zero-valued operating points are never divided directly.
-
-Scoring uses `layout`. A metric uses its worst paired quality q. The score is
-S = 100 * product(q_i ** w_i), including area quality
-q_area = area_reference / candidate_functional_area. The weights below sum to
-one. Dimensions describe measurements but do not determine their weights.
-Physical or functional rejection scores zero; missing or invalid measurements
-produce an unknown score, including measurements with zero weight.
-Source-equivalent performance at the area reference scores 100; improvements
-can exceed 100. A weight expresses a tradeoff, not a hard acceptance limit.
+The on-state 10 mV port difference must produce a resolved current above the 1 nA observation floor so that an open or unresolved path cannot establish a usable resistance. Resistance, leakage and absolute voltage disturbances must be nonnegative by their measurement definitions. These bounds have explicit rationales in `case.toml`; no upper resistance, leakage or tracking-error budget rejects an otherwise valid solution.
+
+Physical checks and the declared functional bounds must pass. Quality scoring imposes no fixed degradation allowance. Each `source_*` job and its corresponding candidate extracted circuit use exactly the same testbench, model resources, parameters, loads and measurement windows. Independent source observations define the 100-point electrical baseline without depending on the submitted GDS; reports retain every paired result.
+
+Let x be the post-layout measurement and b the source-circuit measurement under the same conditions:
+
+- Ratio normalization: maximize with q = x/b and minimize with q = b/x. When a numerical scale s is declared, use (x+s)/(b+s) and its reciprocal, respectively. The scale handles zero values as a normalization floor; it is neither an allowed degradation nor an acceptance bound.
+- Amplitude in dB: maximize with q = 10^((x-b)/20) and minimize with its reciprocal.
+- Target normalization: q = 1/(1+abs(x-b)/s), where s is the declared physical scale. Signed or zero-valued operating points are not divided directly.
+
+Use `layout` scoring. Each metric takes its worst paired quality q, and the total score is S = 100 * product(q_i ** w_i), with area quality q_area = area_reference / candidate_functional_area. The weights below sum to 1; metric dimensions describe measurements and do not determine weights. Physical or functional rejection scores zero; missing or invalid measurements leave the score unknown, and zero-weight observations must also be valid. Matching source-circuit performance at the reference area scores 100 points; better valid solutions may exceed 100. Weights express quality tradeoffs rather than hard bounds.
Coefficient 3 covers local bidirectional analog conduction and loaded control transitions. Tracking error is integrated over exactly 20–60 ns; control-edge excursion uses the inclusive 69–75 ns sample window; held mean shift compares 90–100 ns with 65–69 ns. These are loaded feedthrough/hold observations, not an intrinsic charge-injection constant or perfect floating-node retention. No energy score is claimed: body-rail current alone cannot measure control and signal-driver energy.
-Every required condition must yield finite, valid measurements and pass the functional bounds below. Missing or invalid extraction/measurements are evaluation errors, not low performance scores.
+Every required condition must produce finite, valid measurements and pass the functional bounds below. Missing or invalid extraction/measurements are evaluation errors and cannot be replaced by a low performance score.
+
+`tracking_error_v`, `feedthrough_v` use `saturating_ratio`: q = 2(b+s)/(b+x+2s), where x is candidate error, b is paired source error and s is the positive scale below. Source equivalence gives q=1; improvement approaches the upper limit 2 with diminishing returns. The scale retains its declared unit and numerical-floor meaning. Normalize each condition before taking the worst quality; other rules follow their declarations.

-Target normalization preserves the source operating point/transfer using its declared voltage or gain scale. Ratio floors prevent zero-error/noise-floor division; they are numerical normalization units, not acceptance tolerances. Voltage bounds are the declared physical rails; producer validity guards distinguish measurements from numerical noise. There is no source-relative performance hard cutoff.

The area anchor is **300 um²**: twice the sum of `(W + 6 um) × (L + 8 um)` over every expanded MOS and physical passive unit (2 units, sum 130.080000 um²), rounded upward to 100 um². Contact/well/tap/isolation envelopes are included in the 6/8 um allowances; the factor two allows routing. This is an engineering compact-footprint estimate, independent of measured witness area, not a foundry minimum or demonstrated optimum. Task coefficient: **3**.

+Physical checks and the declared functional bounds must pass. Quality scoring imposes no fixed degradation allowance. Each `source_*` job and its corresponding candidate extracted circuit use exactly the same testbench, model resources, parameters, loads and measurement windows. Independent source observations define the 100-point electrical baseline without depending on the submitted GDS; reports retain every paired result.
+
+Let x be the post-layout measurement and b the source-circuit measurement under the same conditions:
+
+- Ratio normalization: maximize with q = x/b and minimize with q = b/x. When a numerical scale s is declared, use (x+s)/(b+s) and its reciprocal, respectively. The scale handles zero values as a normalization floor; it is neither an allowed degradation nor an acceptance bound.
+- Amplitude in dB: maximize with q = 10^((x-b)/20) and minimize with its reciprocal.
+- Target normalization: q = 1/(1+abs(x-b)/s), where s is the declared physical scale. Signed or zero-valued operating points are not divided directly.
+
+Use `layout` scoring. Each metric takes its worst paired quality q, and the total score is S = 100 * product(q_i ** w_i), with area quality q_area = area_reference / candidate_functional_area. The weights below sum to 1; metric dimensions describe measurements and do not determine weights. Physical or functional rejection scores zero; missing or invalid measurements leave the score unknown, and zero-weight observations must also be valid. Matching source-circuit performance at the reference area scores 100 points; better valid solutions may exceed 100. Weights express quality tradeoffs rather than hard bounds.
+
+`common_error_v`, `common_glitch_v`, `differential_glitch_v` use `saturating_ratio`: q = 2(b+s)/(b+x+2s), where x is candidate error, b is paired source error and s is the positive scale below. Source equivalence gives q=1; improvement approaches the upper limit 2 with diminishing returns. The scale retains its declared unit and numerical-floor meaning. Normalize each condition before taking the worst quality; other rules follow their declarations.

## Objective
-Implement `sw_003_binary_capbank` in IHP SG13G2 and submit a self-contained GDS. Twelve minimum-size MOS (W/L = 0.15/0.13 um) select the bottom plates of a 1:1:2:4 MIM capacitor bank between vinp and VCM. Eight identical 25.85 by 25.85 um cap_cmim units implement those weights, each nominally about 1.00647 pF. Explicit physical substrate and well taps are included. For code k, the ideal capacitive transfer is (1+k)/8. Qualification covers all eight static codes and bipolar input steps at each fixed code; live code transitions, ADC conversion, charge redistribution after a code change and mismatch linearity are outside scope.

Eight identical 25.85 by 25.85 um cap_cmim units implement those weights, each nominally about 1.00647 pF. Explicit physical substrate and well taps are included. For code k, the ideal capacitive transfer is (1+k)/8. Qualification covers all eight static codes, bipolar input steps at each fixed code, and one specified synchronous live-code transition, 011→100. The transition check measures output midpoint-crossing time and settling under the simultaneous ideal selector waveforms below. It does not cover decoder skew, glitches, arbitrary code sequences, ADC conversion, or mismatch linearity.
## Inputs and Interface
`materials/circuit.cdl` is the authoritative physical circuit; `materials/circuit.spice` is its equivalent simulator representation. `materials/testbench.spice` supplies measurement apparatus. This problem is the description input. The ordered ports are `vinp vout VCM VDD VSS V_D0 V_D0_NOT V_D1 V_D1_NOT V_D2 V_D2_NOT`: signal input, floating output, common-mode reference, supply/return and three independent pairs of complementary code controls. SPICE names are case-insensitive; preserve these physical labels.
-Preserve connectivity, MOS W/L/m, capacitor dimensions and unit multiplicities, and body/tap connections. Placement and routing are free. Device splitting/combination and source/drain interchange are allowed only when accepted by the declared native LVS equivalences. No common-centroid or statistical matching requirement is scored. All specified ideal external sources, loads and measurement apparatus belong outside the DUT.
+Preserve connections, MOS W/L/m, capacitor dimensions and cell multiplicities, and body terminals/contacts. Placement and routing are free; device splitting/merging and source/drain exchange must follow declared native LVS equivalence rules. Common-centroid geometry and statistical matching are not scored; ideal external sources, loads and measurement fixtures remain outside the DUT.
## Operating Conditions
-Typical IHP low-voltage MOS, typical resistor and capacitor models at 27 C; VDD = 1.5 V and VSS = 0 V. Each node has the declared 1e12 ohm numerical shunt. Transient integration uses Gear order 2 with a 1 ns output and maximum step. Physical taps have finite source-model resistance; Magic treats well/substrate ties ideally. Distributed silicon substrate resistance, statistical mismatch, PVT, noise and RF/EM are outside scope.
+Use typical IHP low-voltage MOS, resistor and capacitor models at 27 C, VDD=1.5 V and VSS=0 V. Each node has a declared 1e12 ohm numerical shunt. Transient uses second-order Gear with both output and maximum steps 1 ns. Source models retain finite body-contact resistance; Magic idealizes well/substrate connections. Distributed substrate resistance, statistical mismatch, PVT, noise and RF/EM are outside coverage.
+
+The separate code-transition deck uses the same TT, 27 C models and supply. Starting at 0 ns, the ideal complementary selector sources hold code 011 through 10 ns and switch synchronously over 2 ns to code 100. VINP is fixed at 0.65 V and VCM at 0.75 V. The transient ends at 30 ns and uses a 10 ps output and maximum step. Midpoint time is measured from the 10 ns transition start to the first output crossing of the midpoint between the 9 ns and 30 ns output values. Settling error is the maximum absolute deviation from the 30 ns output value over 12.1–30 ns, giving a 100 ps guard after the selector transition. These ideal simultaneous controls intentionally exclude decoder skew and glitch behavior.
All eight binary codes are separate required conditions. Bit k is driven by 1.5*bk V and its complement by 1.5*(1-bk) V; controls remain static. VCM = 0.75 V. VINP has DC 0.65 V and unit AC amplitude. AC uses 50 points/decade from 1 kHz to 100 MHz; acceptance measurements are at 10 kHz. VINP stays at 0.65 V through 10 us, rises to 0.85 V at 10.002 us, holds through 30 us, returns to 0.65 V at 30.002 us and holds through 50 us. Vout has an external 1e12 ohm return to ground, in addition to the numerical shunt; no ideal external holding capacitor is added. Absolute output DC is not a retained sample requirement: measurements compare increments. The testbench expected-value voltage source is measurement apparatus only.

The GDS top cell is `sw_003_binary_capbank`, with a 10 MiB maximum file size. Provide physical, correctly connected and accessible labeled interface metal; retain every named port. Pass IHP main and maximal DRC (density and antenna excluded for this standalone block), strict named-interface LVS and a functional bounding box no larger than 460 by 75 um. No DRC waivers are used.

-The candidate GDS must pass artifact, DRC, LVS and hard geometry before extraction. Magic candidate-derived distributed interconnect resistance and capacitance, with zero coupling-capacitance threshold, feed the supplied testbench. Internal MIM devices remain in candidate extraction. Source simulation alone cannot establish acceptance. This is nominal block qualification, not fabrication signoff.
+Candidate GDS first passes file, DRC, LVS and hard geometry checks; Magic then extracts distributed interconnect RC with zero coupling-capacitance threshold and retains internal MIM. The supplied testbench uses the candidate extracted circuit; source simulation cannot replace acceptance. This is nominal module verification, not manufacturing signoff.
## Electrical Requirements and Scoring
-Physical checks and declared functional bounds remain mandatory. Quality has no
-fixed allowed-degradation threshold. Each `source_*` job simulates the declared
-source circuit with exactly the same testbench, model resources, parameters,
-load and measurement window as its paired extracted-candidate job. A source
-observation is the 100-point electrical baseline; it is independent of the
-submitted GDS. All individual pairs are retained in the evaluation report.
-
-For a post-layout observation x and its source observation b:
-
-- Maximize: q = x/b; minimize: q = b/x. When a numerical scale s is declared,
- use (x+s)/(b+s) or its inverse. This handles zero-valued error measurements;
- s is a normalization floor, not an allowed degradation or pass threshold.
-- Amplitude dB: q = 10^((x-b)/20) for maximize, its inverse for minimize.
-- Target: q = 1/(1+abs(x-b)/s), with a declared physical scale s. Signed and
- zero-valued operating points are never divided directly.
-
-Scoring uses `layout`. A metric uses its worst paired quality q. The score is
-S = 100 * product(q_i ** w_i), including area quality
-q_area = area_reference / candidate_functional_area. The weights below sum to
-one. Dimensions describe measurements but do not determine their weights.
-Physical or functional rejection scores zero; missing or invalid measurements
-produce an unknown score, including measurements with zero weight.
-Source-equivalent performance at the area reference scores 100; improvements
-can exceed 100. A weight expresses a tradeoff, not a hard acceptance limit.
-

+Physical checks and the declared functional bounds must pass. Quality scoring imposes no fixed degradation allowance. Each `source_*` job and its corresponding candidate extracted circuit use exactly the same testbench, model resources, parameters, loads and measurement windows. Independent source observations define the 100-point electrical baseline without depending on the submitted GDS; reports retain every paired result.
+
+Let x be the post-layout measurement and b the source-circuit measurement under the same conditions:
+
+- Ratio normalization: maximize with q = x/b and minimize with q = b/x. When a numerical scale s is declared, use (x+s)/(b+s) and its reciprocal, respectively. The scale handles zero values as a normalization floor; it is neither an allowed degradation nor an acceptance bound.
+- Amplitude in dB: maximize with q = 10^((x-b)/20) and minimize with its reciprocal.
+- Target normalization: q = 1/(1+abs(x-b)/s), where s is the declared physical scale. Signed or zero-valued operating points are not divided directly.
+
+Use `layout` scoring. Each metric takes its worst paired quality q, and the total score is S = 100 * product(q_i ** w_i), with area quality q_area = area_reference / candidate_functional_area. The weights below sum to 1; metric dimensions describe measurements and do not determine weights. Physical or functional rejection scores zero; missing or invalid measurements leave the score unknown, and zero-weight observations must also be valid. Matching source-circuit performance at the reference area scores 100 points; better valid solutions may exceed 100. Weights express quality tradeoffs rather than hard bounds.
+
+`gain_error`, `step_error`, `return_error_v`, `settling_error_v` and `transition_settling_error_v` use `saturating_ratio`: q = 2(b+s)/(b+x+2s), where x is candidate error, b is paired source error and s is the positive scale below. Source equivalence gives q=1; improvement approaches the upper limit 2 with diminishing returns. s retains the declared units and numeric-floor meaning; normalize each condition before taking the worst quality, and apply other rules as declared.

## Electrical Requirements and Scoring
-Physical checks and declared functional bounds remain mandatory. Quality has no
-fixed allowed-degradation threshold. Each `source_*` job simulates the declared
-source circuit with exactly the same testbench, model resources, parameters,
-load and measurement window as its paired extracted-candidate job. A source
-observation is the 100-point electrical baseline; it is independent of the
-submitted GDS. All individual pairs are retained in the evaluation report.
-
-For a post-layout observation x and its source observation b:
-
-- Maximize: q = x/b; minimize: q = b/x. When a numerical scale s is declared,
- use (x+s)/(b+s) or its inverse. This handles zero-valued error measurements;
- s is a normalization floor, not an allowed degradation or pass threshold.
-- Amplitude dB: q = 10^((x-b)/20) for maximize, its inverse for minimize.
-- Target: q = 1/(1+abs(x-b)/s), with a declared physical scale s. Signed and
- zero-valued operating points are never divided directly.
-
-Scoring uses `layout`. A metric uses its worst paired quality q. The score is
-S = 100 * product(q_i ** w_i), including area quality
-q_area = area_reference / candidate_functional_area. The weights below sum to
-one. Dimensions describe measurements but do not determine their weights.
-Physical or functional rejection scores zero; missing or invalid measurements
-produce an unknown score, including measurements with zero weight.
-Source-equivalent performance at the area reference scores 100; improvements
-can exceed 100. A weight expresses a tradeoff, not a hard acceptance limit.
-
-Measurement definitions below use the supplied SPICE node/source names.
-`v(n)` is node voltage and `i(V)` is current into a voltage source; delivered
-power therefore uses a minus sign. `db(z)=20*log10(abs(z))`, `mag/abs`
-denote magnitude, and `cph` is continuous phase in radians. `find`, `when`,
-`from/to`, and `rise/fall` retain the deck's interpolation, window and
-crossing conventions; SPICE suffixes p/n/u/m/meg/g mean pico/nano/micro/
-milli/mega/giga. Nested `avg`, `min`, `max`, `vecmin/vecmax` and `deriv`
-mean the stated window average, extrema and sampled derivative. All
-declared conditions are measured separately and paired with the same
-source condition; a group uses its worst paired quality.
-
-| Metric | Definition / observations | Unit | Quality rule | Functional bounds | Scale | Dimension |
+Physical checks and the declared functional bounds must pass. Quality scoring imposes no fixed degradation allowance. Each `source_*` job and its corresponding candidate extracted circuit use exactly the same testbench, model resources, parameters, loads and measurement windows. Independent source observations define the 100-point electrical baseline without depending on the submitted GDS; reports retain every paired result.
+
+Let x be the post-layout measurement and b the source-circuit measurement under the same conditions:
+
+- Ratio normalization: maximize with q = x/b and minimize with q = b/x. When a numerical scale s is declared, use (x+s)/(b+s) and its reciprocal, respectively. The scale handles zero values as a normalization floor; it is neither an allowed degradation nor an acceptance bound.
+- Amplitude in dB: maximize with q = 10^((x-b)/20) and minimize with its reciprocal.
+- Target normalization: q = 1/(1+abs(x-b)/s), where s is the declared physical scale. Signed or zero-valued operating points are not divided directly.
+
+Use `layout` scoring. Each metric takes its worst paired quality q, and the total score is S = 100 * product(q_i ** w_i), with area quality q_area = area_reference / candidate_functional_area. The weights below sum to 1; metric dimensions describe measurements and do not determine weights. Physical or functional rejection scores zero; missing or invalid measurements leave the score unknown, and zero-weight observations must also be valid. Matching source-circuit performance at the reference area scores 100 points; better valid solutions may exceed 100. Weights express quality tradeoffs rather than hard bounds.
+
+The measurements below use the supplied SPICE node and source names. `v(n)` is a node voltage; `i(V)` is current flowing into a voltage source, so delivered power uses a negative sign. `db(z)=20*log10(abs(z))`; `mag/abs` denote magnitude, and `cph` denotes continuous phase in radians. `find`, `when`, `from/to` and `rise/fall` follow the deck's interpolation, window and crossing conventions. SPICE suffixes p/n/u/m/meg/g mean pico/nano/micro/milli/mega/giga. Nested `avg`, `min`, `max`, `vecmin/vecmax` and `deriv` represent window averages, extrema and sampled derivatives. Measure each operating condition independently, pair it with the source result under that condition, and take the worst paired quality within each metric group.
+
+`recovery_down_v`, `recovery_up_v` use `saturating_ratio`: q = 2(b+s)/(b+x+2s), where x is candidate error, b is paired source error and s is the positive scale below. Source equivalence gives q=1; improvement approaches the upper limit 2 with diminishing returns. The scale retains its declared unit and numerical-floor meaning. Normalize each condition before taking the worst quality; other rules follow their declarations.

## Electrical Requirements and Scoring
-Physical checks and declared functional bounds remain mandatory. Quality has no
-fixed allowed-degradation threshold. Each `source_*` job simulates the declared
-source circuit with exactly the same testbench, model resources, parameters,
-load and measurement window as its paired extracted-candidate job. A source
-observation is the 100-point electrical baseline; it is independent of the
-submitted GDS. All individual pairs are retained in the evaluation report.
-
-For a post-layout observation x and its source observation b:
-
-- Maximize: q = x/b; minimize: q = b/x. When a numerical scale s is declared,
- use (x+s)/(b+s) or its inverse. This handles zero-valued error measurements;
- s is a normalization floor, not an allowed degradation or pass threshold.
-- Amplitude dB: q = 10^((x-b)/20) for maximize, its inverse for minimize.
-- Target: q = 1/(1+abs(x-b)/s), with a declared physical scale s. Signed and
- zero-valued operating points are never divided directly.
-
-Scoring uses `layout`. A metric uses its worst paired quality q. The score is
-S = 100 * product(q_i ** w_i), including area quality
-q_area = area_reference / candidate_functional_area. The weights below sum to
-one. Dimensions describe measurements but do not determine their weights.
-Physical or functional rejection scores zero; missing or invalid measurements
-produce an unknown score, including measurements with zero weight.
-Source-equivalent performance at the area reference scores 100; improvements
-can exceed 100. A weight expresses a tradeoff, not a hard acceptance limit.
-
-Measurement definitions below use the supplied SPICE node/source names.
-`v(n)` is node voltage and `i(V)` is current into a voltage source; delivered
-power therefore uses a minus sign. `db(z)=20*log10(abs(z))`, `mag/abs`
-denote magnitude, and `cph` is continuous phase in radians. `find`, `when`,
-`from/to`, and `rise/fall` retain the deck's interpolation, window and
-crossing conventions; SPICE suffixes p/n/u/m/meg/g mean pico/nano/micro/
-milli/mega/giga. Nested `avg`, `min`, `max`, `vecmin/vecmax` and `deriv`
-mean the stated window average, extrema and sampled derivative. All
-declared conditions are measured separately and paired with the same
-source condition; a group uses its worst paired quality.
-
-| Metric | Definition / observations | Unit | Quality rule | Functional bounds | Scale | Dimension |
+Physical checks and the declared functional bounds must pass. Quality scoring imposes no fixed degradation allowance. Each `source_*` job and its corresponding candidate extracted circuit use exactly the same testbench, model resources, parameters, loads and measurement windows. Independent source observations define the 100-point electrical baseline without depending on the submitted GDS; reports retain every paired result.
+
+Let x be the post-layout measurement and b the source-circuit measurement under the same conditions:
+
+- Ratio normalization: maximize with q = x/b and minimize with q = b/x. When a numerical scale s is declared, use (x+s)/(b+s) and its reciprocal, respectively. The scale handles zero values as a normalization floor; it is neither an allowed degradation nor an acceptance bound.
+- Amplitude in dB: maximize with q = 10^((x-b)/20) and minimize with its reciprocal.
+- Target normalization: q = 1/(1+abs(x-b)/s), where s is the declared physical scale. Signed or zero-valued operating points are not divided directly.
+
+Use `layout` scoring. Each metric takes its worst paired quality q, and the total score is S = 100 * product(q_i ** w_i), with area quality q_area = area_reference / candidate_functional_area. The weights below sum to 1; metric dimensions describe measurements and do not determine weights. Physical or functional rejection scores zero; missing or invalid measurements leave the score unknown, and zero-weight observations must also be valid. Matching source-circuit performance at the reference area scores 100 points; better valid solutions may exceed 100. Weights express quality tradeoffs rather than hard bounds.
+
+The measurements below use the supplied SPICE node and source names. `v(n)` is a node voltage; `i(V)` is current flowing into a voltage source, so delivered power uses a negative sign. `db(z)=20*log10(abs(z))`; `mag/abs` denote magnitude, and `cph` denotes continuous phase in radians. `find`, `when`, `from/to` and `rise/fall` follow the deck's interpolation, window and crossing conventions. SPICE suffixes p/n/u/m/meg/g mean pico/nano/micro/milli/mega/giga. Nested `avg`, `min`, `max`, `vecmin/vecmax` and `deriv` represent window averages, extrema and sampled derivatives. Measure each operating condition independently, pair it with the source result under that condition, and take the worst paired quality within each metric group.
+
+`startup_error_v`, `load_error_v`, `release_error_v`, `injection_error_v`, `return_error_v`, `line_span_v`, `temperature_span_v` use `saturating_ratio`: q = 2(b+s)/(b+x+2s), where x is candidate error, b is paired source error and s is the positive scale below. Source equivalence gives q=1; improvement approaches the upper limit 2 with diminishing returns. s retains the declared units and numeric-floor meaning; normalize each condition before taking the worst quality, and apply other rules as declared.

+# SKY130 1:1 Interdigitated Current Mirror Layout Task
+
+## Objective
+
+Implement `CMIRROR` from the supplied transistor-level circuit, preserving topology, fixed device parameters, four-terminal body connections and the ordered interface. Submit a candidate GDS for electrical evaluation of its distributed RC extraction.
+
+## Inputs and Interface
+
+Ordered ports are `VREF VCOPY VSS VB`. Declared inputs include `problem.md`, `materials/circuit.spice` and `materials/testbench.spice`. The runtime provides models and process resources; reference layouts, author code and qualification evidence are maintainer-only materials.
+
+## Operating Conditions
+
+Supply 1.8 V; reference currents 10, 30, 60 uA. Sweep output voltage from 0.6 to 1.8 V in 50 mV steps. Observe maximum relative current error and bias voltage. All electrical experiments use fixed TT models at 27 °C; delivered testbenches define interpolation, edges, loads, sweeps, observation times and power intervals.
+
+## Physical Requirements
+
+Submit a nonempty GDS no larger than 10485760 bytes, with top cell `CMIRROR`. Functional geometry must fit within the 60 × 60 um envelope on the declared layer set. Pass complete Magic DRC without waivers and independent Netgen LVS checking named ports, models, dimensions, multiplicities and body/contact connections. After physical and geometric checks pass, extract the candidate's distributed interconnect resistance, capacitance and devices, then run every declared experiment.
+
+## Electrical Requirements and Scoring
+
+Absolute current-ratio error must be nonnegative; bias must be within the declared 0.3–1.2 V operating range. The current-transfer quality target is 3% worst absolute relative error across every declared current and the full output-voltage sweep, with a 0.5 percentage-point normalization scale. It is a challenging continuous quality goal, not a rejection threshold. Power and absolute errors must be nonnegative; all required measurements must be complete, finite and in correct units.
+
+| Metric | Functional requirement or measurement domain | Aggregation | Score weight |
+| --- | --- | --- | ---: |
+| `functional_area` | No fixed performance bound | max | 50% |
+| `ratio_error` | 0 … +∞ 1 | max | 50% |
+| `bias_voltage` | 0.3 … 1.2 V | max | 0% |
+
+Retain independent source-netlist observations under exactly the same conditions. For each candidate worst-sweep error `x`, quality is `2*(t+s)/(t+x+2*s)`, with target `t=0.03` and scale `s=0.005`; take the worst quality across the three currents. Reports distinguish the measured source errors from the declared target. This deterministic metric covers compliance and routing effects; it does not measure statistical matching yield. Zero-weight observations still undergo measurement and functional checks.
+
+Area quality is `100 um² / candidate functional area`. This compact 10 × 10 um integration budget rewards diffusion sharing, efficient finger placement and short connections, while preserving the declared devices and body contacts. It is independent of the loose feasibility witness and is not a hard area limit. Total score is `100 × sqrt(q_error × q_area)`. Joint attainment of the 3% transfer-error goal and 100 um² footprint scores 100, and better valid solutions may exceed 100. The feasible reference is allowed to miss both goals. Physical or functional invalidity scores zero; missing or unusable measurements make the score unknown. Capability coefficient `1` is independent of this quality score.
+
+## Tools and Submission
+
+Solve budget: 3 hours. Use the task information, tools and SKY130 resources provided by the runtime protocol. Write only the final GDS to `output/final.gds` and explicitly submit through the declared interface. Source simulation serves characterization; accepted results come from complete physical and RC electrical evaluation of the candidate GDS. Conclusions cover only the declared conditions, excluding PVT, mismatch, reliability and product signoff.

+# SKY130 Two-Stage Miller Operational Amplifier Layout Task
+
+## Objective
+
+Implement `OPAMP_TWO_STAGE` from the supplied transistor-level circuit, preserving topology, fixed device parameters, four-terminal body connections and the ordered interface. Submit a candidate GDS for electrical evaluation of its distributed RC extraction.
+
+## Inputs and Interface
+
+Ordered ports are `VDD GND DIFFPAIR_BIAS VP VN CS_BIAS VOUT`. Declared inputs include `problem.md`, `materials/circuit.spice` and `materials/testbench.spice`. The runtime provides models and process resources; reference layouts, author code and qualification evidence are maintainer-only materials.
+
+## Operating Conditions
+
+Supply 1.8 V, input common mode 0.9 V, and external input-stage/common-source-stage bias currents 20, 100 uA, respectively. Use output capacitances 0.1, 0.5, 1 pF and a 100 Mohm resistive load. Feedback 9 Mohm and reference 1 Mohm resistors set noise gain 10; external large inductance/capacitance closes DC feedback and breaks AC feedback, measuring loop bandwidth and phase margin where open-loop magnitude falls to 10. This fixture does not prove unity-gain stability. All electrical experiments use fixed TT models at 27 °C; delivered testbenches define interpolation, edges, loads, sweeps, observation times and power intervals.
+
+## Physical Requirements
+
+Submit a nonempty GDS no larger than 10485760 bytes, with top cell `OPAMP_TWO_STAGE`. Functional geometry must fit within the 200 × 200 um envelope on the declared layer set. Pass complete Magic DRC without waivers and independent Netgen LVS checking named ports, models, dimensions, multiplicities and body/contact connections. After physical and geometric checks pass, extract the candidate's distributed interconnect resistance, capacitance and devices, then run every declared experiment.
+
+## Electrical Requirements and Scoring
+
+Output bias must be 0.3–1.5 V; phase margin at the specified crossing must lie on the stable-feedback branch within 0–180 degrees, and the crossing must exist. Gain, bandwidth and power are quality targets; no 40 dB, 100 kHz, 5 mW or 45 degree design-budget rejection thresholds are imposed. Power and absolute errors must be nonnegative; all required measurements must be complete, finite and in correct units.
+
+| Metric | Functional requirement or measurement domain | Aggregation | Score weight |
+| --- | --- | --- | ---: |
+| `functional_area` | No fixed performance bound | max | 20% |
+| `gain_low` | No fixed performance bound | min | 30% |
+| `loop_bandwidth` | 0 … +∞ Hz | min | 30% |
+| `supply_power` | 0 … +∞ W | max | 20% |
+| `phase_margin` | 0 … 180 deg | min | 0% |
+| `bias_voltage` | 0.3 … 1.5 V | max | 0% |
+
+Pair electrical quality with independent source-netlist observations under exactly the same conditions, taking the worst paired quality for each metric. Gain in dB uses `10^((x-b)/20)`; target quantities use `1/(1+abs(x-b)/s)`; ratio quantities use `x/b` or `b/x` according to optimization direction; cost quantities declaring `saturating_ratio` use `2*(b+s)/(b+x+2*s)`. `x` is the candidate observation, `b` is the source observation and `s` is the contract's physical normalization scale. These define no degradation allowance. Zero-weight observations still undergo measurement and functional checks.
+
+Area quality is `14329.60165 um² / candidate functional area`; the area target is the original reference layout's functional-footprint soft target, and a separate envelope constraint controls functional bounds. Total score is `100 × product(q_i^w_i)`, using the contract's `layout` method and original weights. Source-equivalent performance at target area scores 100, and better valid solutions may exceed 100. Physical or functional invalidity scores zero; missing or unusable measurements make the score unknown. Capability coefficient `3` is independent of this quality score.
+
+## Tools and Submission
+
+Solve budget: 8 hours. Use the task information, tools and SKY130 resources provided by the runtime protocol. Write only the final GDS to `output/final.gds` and explicitly submit through the declared interface. Source simulation serves characterization; accepted results come from complete physical and RC electrical evaluation of the candidate GDS. Conclusions cover only the declared conditions, excluding PVT, mismatch, reliability and product signoff.

+# SKY130A Process Scope
+
+The seven SKY130A tasks use the Ciel installation pinned in [pdk.toml](pdk.toml).
+Each case contract defines its own supplies, loads, stimuli and electrical
+bounds. The published fixtures use TT models at 27 C. The standard solver input
+contains the declared circuit and testbenches; reference GDS and maintainer
+schematics are not solver inputs.
+
+The evaluator runs artifact checks, full Magic DRC, Netgen LVS, geometry checks,
+Magic distributed RC extraction and ngspice simulation through the declared
+tool image and external process resources. The manifest retains drawn HVI, RPM
+and URPM mask hints on GDS import. Its diode extraction adaptation avoids
+applying SI-to-micrometre area and perimeter factors twice in the selected
+`ngspice()` variants. These adaptations are part of the pinned resource
+declaration, not changes to the installed PDK.
+
+The cases cover block-level behavior under their listed fixtures: current
+mirroring, two amplifiers, a comparator, power-on reset, sample-and-hold and an
+eight-bit buffered DAC. The two-stage amplifier is evaluated at noise gain 10;
+the rail-to-rail amplifier uses its declared load range. The DAC evaluates all
+256 static codes and full-scale transitions. These tests do not establish
+PVT yield, mismatch, ESD, electromigration or manufacturing signoff.
+
+Core membership is set only by each case's `in_core` field. All seven cases
+remain in the complete corpus; see the root [selection rationale](../../README.md#core-selection-rationale).
+Collection-specific licenses and notices accompany the task materials.

+# SKY130 Continuous Comparator with Complementary Input Load Layout Task
+
+## Objective
+
+Implement `sky130_ef_ip__ccomp3v_cl` from the supplied transistor-level circuit, preserving topology, fixed device parameters, four-terminal body connections and the ordered interface. Submit a candidate GDS for electrical evaluation of its distributed RC extraction.
+
+## Inputs and Interface
+
+Ordered ports are `VOUT DVDD DVSS VDD VSS VINP VINM CLOAD ENA`. Declared inputs include `problem.md`, `materials/circuit.spice` and `materials/testbench.spice`. The runtime provides models and process resources; reference layouts, author code and qualification evidence are maintainer-only materials.
+
+## Operating Conditions
+
+Use the synchronized _cl circuit/layout variant from the source. Analog supply is 3.3 V, digital supply and enable 1.8 V, output load 1 pF. Input common modes are 0.5, 1.65, 2.8 V, with CLOAD connected to the same common mode. DC differential-input sweep is -50 to +50 mV in 0.25 mV steps; transient uses ±20 mV overdrive and 2 ns edges. Measure switching point, rising/falling delay and logic levels separately. All electrical experiments use fixed TT models at 27 °C; delivered testbenches define interpolation, edges, loads, sweeps, observation times and power intervals.
+
+## Physical Requirements
+
+Submit a nonempty GDS no larger than 10485760 bytes, with top cell `sky130_ef_ip__ccomp3v_cl`. Functional geometry must fit within the 120 × 120 um envelope on the declared layer set. Pass complete Magic DRC without waivers and independent Netgen LVS checking named ports, models, dimensions, multiplicities and body/contact connections. After physical and geometric checks pass, extract the candidate's distributed interconnect resistance, capacitance and devices, then run every declared experiment.
+
+## Electrical Requirements and Scoring
+
+At all three common modes, high levels must be 1.6–1.9 V and low levels -0.1–0.2 V; required crossings in both directions must exist. Switching offset, propagation delay and power are scored continuously; original 10 mV, 1 us and 5 mW budgets are no longer rejection thresholds. Power and absolute errors must be nonnegative; all required measurements must be complete, finite and in correct units.
+
+| Metric | Functional requirement or measurement domain | Aggregation | Score weight |
+| --- | --- | --- | ---: |
+| `functional_area` | No fixed performance bound | max | 20% |
+| `trip_voltage` | No fixed performance bound | max | 20% |
+| `rise_delay` | 0 … +∞ s | max | 20% |
+| `fall_delay` | 0 … +∞ s | max | 20% |
+| `supply_power` | 0 … +∞ W | max | 20% |
+| `high_level` | 1.6 … 1.9 V | max | 0% |
+| `low_level` | -0.1 … 0.2 V | max | 0% |
+
+Pair electrical quality with independent source-netlist observations under exactly the same conditions, taking the worst paired quality for each metric. Gain in dB uses `10^((x-b)/20)`; target quantities use `1/(1+abs(x-b)/s)`; ratio quantities use `x/b` or `b/x` according to optimization direction; cost quantities declaring `saturating_ratio` use `2*(b+s)/(b+x+2*s)`. `x` is the candidate observation, `b` is the source observation and `s` is the contract's physical normalization scale. These define no degradation allowance. Zero-weight observations still undergo measurement and functional checks.
+
+Area quality is `4542.708625 um² / candidate functional area`; the area target is the original reference layout's functional-footprint soft target, and a separate envelope constraint controls functional bounds. Total score is `100 × product(q_i^w_i)`, using the contract's `layout` method and original weights. Source-equivalent performance at target area scores 100, and better valid solutions may exceed 100. Physical or functional invalidity scores zero; missing or unusable measurements make the score unknown. Capability coefficient `3` is independent of this quality score.
+
+## Tools and Submission
+
+Solve budget: 8 hours. Use the task information, tools and SKY130 resources provided by the runtime protocol. Write only the final GDS to `output/final.gds` and explicitly submit through the declared interface. Source simulation serves characterization; accepted results come from complete physical and RC electrical evaluation of the candidate GDS. Conclusions cover only the declared conditions, excluding PVT, mismatch, reliability and product signoff.

+# SKY130 3.3 V Operational Amplifier Layout Task
+
+## Objective
+
+Implement `sky130_ef_ip__opamp` from the supplied transistor-level circuit, preserving topology, fixed device parameters, four-terminal body connections and the ordered interface. Submit a candidate GDS for electrical evaluation of its distributed RC extraction.
+
+## Inputs and Interface
+
+Ordered ports are `vdd out ena vss inp inm`. Declared inputs include `problem.md`, `materials/circuit.spice` and `materials/testbench.spice`. The runtime provides models and process resources; reference layouts, author code and qualification evidence are maintainer-only materials.
+
+## Operating Conditions
+
+Supply 3.3 V, enable 1.8 V, input common mode 1.65 V. Use output loads 0.1, 0.5, 1 pF and 100 Mohm resistance; the declared large-inductance/capacitance fixture closes DC feedback and breaks AC feedback. Measure low-frequency gain, unity-gain crossing, phase margin and supply power. 5 pF is outside this task's operating conditions. All electrical experiments use fixed TT models at 27 °C; delivered testbenches define interpolation, edges, loads, sweeps, observation times and power intervals.
+
+## Physical Requirements
+
+Submit a nonempty GDS no larger than 10485760 bytes, with top cell `sky130_ef_ip__opamp`. Functional geometry must fit within the 80 × 100 um envelope on the declared layer set. Pass complete Magic DRC without waivers and independent Netgen LVS checking named ports, models, dimensions, multiplicities and body/contact connections. After physical and geometric checks pass, extract the candidate's distributed interconnect resistance, capacitance and devices, then run every declared experiment.
+
+## Electrical Requirements and Scoring
+
+Output bias must be 1.0–2.3 V; phase margin at the unity-gain crossing must lie on the stable-feedback branch within 0–180 degrees, and the crossing must exist. Gain, bandwidth and power are scored continuously, without fixed 40 dB, 1 MHz, 5 mW or 45 degree design-budget rejection thresholds. Power and absolute errors must be nonnegative; all required measurements must be complete, finite and in correct units.
+
+| Metric | Functional requirement or measurement domain | Aggregation | Score weight |
+| --- | --- | --- | ---: |
+| `functional_area` | No fixed performance bound | max | 20% |
+| `gain_low` | No fixed performance bound | min | 30% |
+| `unity_hz` | 0 … +∞ Hz | min | 30% |
+| `supply_power` | 0 … +∞ W | max | 20% |
+| `phase_margin` | 0 … 180 deg | min | 0% |
+| `bias_voltage` | 1 … 2.3 V | max | 0% |
+
+Pair electrical quality with independent source-netlist observations under exactly the same conditions, taking the worst paired quality for each metric. Gain in dB uses `10^((x-b)/20)`; target quantities use `1/(1+abs(x-b)/s)`; ratio quantities use `x/b` or `b/x` according to optimization direction; cost quantities declaring `saturating_ratio` use `2*(b+s)/(b+x+2*s)`. `x` is the candidate observation, `b` is the source observation and `s` is the contract's physical normalization scale. These define no degradation allowance. Zero-weight observations still undergo measurement and functional checks.
+
+Area quality is `2118.8931 um² / candidate functional area`; the area target is the original reference layout's functional-footprint soft target, and a separate envelope constraint controls functional bounds. Total score is `100 × product(q_i^w_i)`, using the contract's `layout` method and original weights. Source-equivalent performance at target area scores 100, and better valid solutions may exceed 100. Physical or functional invalidity scores zero; missing or unusable measurements make the score unknown. Capability coefficient `3` is independent of this quality score.
+
+## Tools and Submission
+
+Solve budget: 8 hours. Use the task information, tools and SKY130 resources provided by the runtime protocol. Write only the final GDS to `output/final.gds` and explicitly submit through the declared interface. Source simulation serves characterization; accepted results come from complete physical and RC electrical evaluation of the candidate GDS. Conclusions cover only the declared conditions, excluding PVT, mismatch, reliability and product signoff.

+# SKY130 Eight-Bit Buffered Resistor DAC Layout Task
+
+## Objective
+
+Implement `sky130_ef_ip__rdac3v_8bit` from the supplied transistor-level circuit, preserving topology, fixed device parameters, four-terminal body connections and the ordered interface. Submit a candidate GDS for electrical evaluation of its distributed RC extraction.
+
+## Inputs and Interface
+
+Ordered ports are `dvdd avss dvss avdd b[7] b[6] b[5] b[4] b[3] b[2] b[1] b[0] Vhigh out ena Vlow`. Declared inputs include `problem.md`, `materials/circuit.spice`, `materials/testbench_dc.spice`, `materials/testbench_transient.spice`. The runtime environment supplies models and process resources; reference layouts, author code and qualification evidence are maintainer-only.
+
+## Operating Conditions
+
+Analog/digital supplies are 3.3/1.8 V, enable 1.8 V, low/high references 0.8/2.4 V, and output load 1 pF. Four overlapping DC code blocks 0–64, 64–128, 128–192, 192–255 cover all integer codes and adjacent steps; each block also measures codes 0 and 255, using matching full-range endpoints to compute LSB=output span/255. Supply and reference power use the worst value over all codes. Transient switches all eight digital inputs simultaneously with 2 ns edges, timing the rising output crossing of 2.2 V and falling crossing of 1.0 V separately. All electrical experiments use fixed TT models at 27 °C; delivered testbenches define interpolation, edges, loads, sweeps, observation times and power intervals.
+
+## Physical Requirements
+
+Submit a nonempty GDS no larger than 10485760 bytes, with top cell `sky130_ef_ip__rdac3v_8bit`. Functional geometry must fit within the 250 × 300 um envelope on the declared layer set. Pass complete Magic DRC without waivers and independent Netgen LVS checking named ports, models, dimensions, multiplicities and body/contact connections. After physical and geometric checks pass, extract the candidate's distributed interconnect resistance, capacitance and devices, then run every declared experiment.
+
+## Electrical Requirements and Scoring
+
+Every adjacent-code step must be at least 1 uV, ensuring numerically resolvable strict monotonicity; full-range span must be 1.5–1.7 V, and transient high/low endpoints 2.35–2.45 V and 0.75–0.85 V, respectively, implementing the declared buffer linear-output range. Absolute INL and DNL must be nonnegative; DNL is diagnostic without weight. INL, delay and power use the weights below for continuous quality, without 2 LSB, 1 LSB, 10 us or 20 mW accuracy/power rejection thresholds. Power and absolute errors must be nonnegative; all required measurements must be complete, finite and in correct units.
+
+| Metric | Functional requirement or measurement domain | Aggregation | Score weight |
+| --- | --- | --- | ---: |
+| `functional_area` | No fixed performance bound | max | 35% |
+| `inl_max` | 0 … +∞ LSB | max | 40% |
+| `dnl_max` | 0 … +∞ LSB | max | 0% |
+| `span` | 1.5 … 1.7 V | max | 0% |
+| `min_step` | 1e-06 … +∞ V | min | 0% |
+| `dc_power` | 0 … +∞ W | max | 5% |
+| `rise_delay` | 0 … +∞ s | max | 10% |
+| `fall_delay` | 0 … +∞ s | max | 10% |
+| `high_level` | 2.35 … 2.45 V | max | 0% |
+| `low_level` | 0.75 … 0.85 V | max | 0% |
+
+The 10000 um2 footprint rewards a compact resistor array and decoder/buffer interconnect. INL 40% and area 35% dominate; separate rising/falling full-scale delays each receive 10%, with 1 ns scales so parasitic delay is visible. The 0.15 LSB target is a precision goal, not a monotonicity cutoff. DC power carries 5% because fixed bias largely sets it.
+
+| Metric | Quality anchor | Unit | Normalization | Scale |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `inl_max` | 0.15 | LSB | saturating_ratio | 0.05 |
+| `dc_power` | paired source | W | saturating_ratio | 1e-06 |
+| `rise_delay` | 2e-08 | s | saturating_ratio | 1e-09 |
+| `fall_delay` | 3e-08 | s | saturating_ratio | 1e-09 |
+
+Independent source/candidate measurements remain paired under identical conditions. For a cost measurement x, saturating quality is `2*(b+s)/(b+x+2*s)`; target quality is `1/(1+abs(x-b)/s)`. Here b is the quality anchor above, and s is the declared scale. Take the worst quality across each metric’s conditions. Targets and scales do not add acceptance cutoffs; zero-weight observations remain checked.
+
+Area quality is `10000 um² / candidate functional area`. Total score is `100 × product(q_i^w_i)`, including area. Joint attainment of the goals scores 100; a feasible reference may score far below 100, and better valid solutions may exceed 100. Physical or functional invalidity scores zero; unusable measurements leave the score unknown.
+
+## Tools and Submission
+
+Solve budget: 12 hours. Use the task information, tools and SKY130 resources provided by the runtime protocol. Write only the final GDS to `output/final.gds` and explicitly submit through the declared interface. Source simulation serves characterization; accepted results come from complete physical and RC electrical evaluation of the candidate GDS. Conclusions cover only the declared conditions, excluding PVT, mismatch, reliability and product signoff.

+# SKY130 Buffered Sample-and-Hold Layout Task
+
+## Objective
+
+Implement the supplied transistor-level buffered sample-and-hold in SKY130A, preserving topology, device parameters, body connections and ordered ports; perform acquisition in both directions, hold during input reversal, and reacquisition.
+
+## Inputs and Interface
+
+Inputs are this description, `materials/circuit.spice` (authoritative circuit) and `materials/testbench.spice` (excitation and measurements). Both the top-level GDS cell and LVS subcircuit are `sky130_ef_ip__samplehold`, with ordered ports:
+
+```text
+dvdd dvss hold vdd out in ena vss
+```
+
+Reference layout and maintainer schematic are not solver inputs. The supplied testbench defines measurement details.
+
+## Operating Conditions
+
+Use pinned TT models at 27 C, analog supply 3.3 V, digital supply and control 1.8 V, and external output load 1 pF. Test 0.8→2.4 V and 2.4→0.8 V acquisition separately.
+
+| Event or observation | Time |
+| --- | --- |
+| Enable rise | 2 us |
+| Input step | 10 us |
+| Tracking-error sample | 19 us |
+| HOLD high | 20–40 us |
+| Input reversal during hold | 25 us |
+| Held-value-error sample | 39 us |
+| Hold-drift observation | 21–39 us |
+| Reacquisition-error sample | 59 us |
+
+Coverage is limited to the operating range above; no PVT, mismatch, reliability or product signoff is claimed.
+
+## Physical Requirements
+
+Submit nonempty, readable GDS of at most 10485760 bytes, preserving the declared top cell and port labels. Functional geometry must fit within 160 × 160 um; see the runtime task contract for the complete layer set.
+
+Independent evaluation sequentially runs file checks, full Magic DRC, Netgen LVS, functional geometry measurement, distributed RC extraction and declared electrical tests. Physical and functional requirements must pass; source simulation cannot replace evaluation after candidate extraction.
+
+## Electrical Requirements and Scoring
+
+Every condition must produce finite, usable measurements. Absolute errors and voltage changes must be nonnegative, and circuit supply energy must represent consumption rather than generation. Missing or unusable measurements are evaluation errors.
+
+| Metric | Measurement domain | Observation aggregation | Weight |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `functional_area` (um2) | Functional area measured on declared layers | max | 50% |
+| `track_error` (V) | Nonnegative absolute tracking error | max | 15% |
+| `hold_error` (V) | Nonnegative absolute hold error | max | 25% |
+| `droop` (V) | Nonnegative absolute voltage change | max | 0% |
+| `reacquire_error` (V) | Nonnegative absolute reacquisition error | max | 5% |
+| `supply_power` (W) | Nonnegative supply consumption | max | 5% |
+
+The 3000 um2 footprint is a compact buffered-sampler goal. Area receives 50%; held-value error after input reversal receives 25%, tracking 15%, and reacquisition and power 5% each. Tracking and reacquisition approach the same equilibrium, so their repeated observation no longer doubles the main accuracy reward. Error targets refer to the declared sampling times and do not claim faster acquisition or additional corners.
+
+| Metric | Quality anchor | Unit | Normalization | Scale |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `track_error` | 0.02 | V | saturating_ratio | 0.001 |
+| `hold_error` | 0.015 | V | saturating_ratio | 0.001 |
+| `reacquire_error` | 0.02 | V | saturating_ratio | 0.001 |
+| `supply_power` | paired source | W | saturating_ratio | 0.0001 |
+
+Independent source/candidate measurements remain paired under identical conditions. For a cost measurement x, saturating quality is `2*(b+s)/(b+x+2*s)`; target quality is `1/(1+abs(x-b)/s)`. Here b is the quality anchor above, and s is the declared scale. Take the worst quality across each metric’s conditions. Targets and scales do not add acceptance cutoffs; zero-weight observations remain checked.
+
+Area quality is `3000 um² / candidate functional area`. Total score is `100 × product(q_i^w_i)`, including area. Joint attainment of the goals scores 100; a feasible reference may score far below 100, and better valid solutions may exceed 100. Physical or functional invalidity scores zero; unusable measurements leave the score unknown.
+
+## Tools and Submission
+
+Solve budget: **10 hours**. Use the installed toolchain and SKY130 resources explicitly supplied by the task. Write top cell `sky130_ef_ip__samplehold` into `output/final.gds` and explicitly submit through the session submission interface.

+# SKY130 Dual-Supply Power-On Reset Layout Task
+
+## Objective
+
+Implement `sky130_ef_ip__simple_por` from the supplied transistor-level circuit, preserving topology, fixed device parameters, four-terminal body connections and the ordered interface. Submit a candidate GDS for electrical evaluation of its distributed RC extraction.
+
+## Inputs and Interface
+
+Ordered ports are `vdd3v3 vdd1v8 porb_h porb_l por_l vss`. Declared inputs include `problem.md`, `materials/circuit.spice` and `materials/testbench.spice`. The runtime provides models and process resources; reference layouts, author code and qualification evidence are maintainer-only materials.
+
+## Operating Conditions
+
+The source circuit's two ground domains are explicitly merged into VSS. The 3.3 V supply starts rising at 100 us, and the 1.8 V supply at 300 us; use 1, 5, 10 ms parameters separately with the original deck's exact PWL endpoints. Each output has 1 pF load. Retain the full 30 ms startup observation, measuring reset-release crossings in both domains, output levels at 29 ms and average startup power over 0–30 ms. All electrical experiments use fixed TT models at 27 °C; delivered testbenches define interpolation, edges, loads, sweeps, observation times and power intervals.
+
+## Physical Requirements
+
+Submit a nonempty GDS no larger than 10485760 bytes, with top cell `sky130_ef_ip__simple_por`. Functional geometry must fit within the 200 × 200 um envelope on the declared layer set. Pass complete Magic DRC without waivers and independent Netgen LVS checking named ports, models, dimensions, multiplicities and body/contact connections. After physical and geometric checks pass, extract the candidate's distributed interconnect resistance, capacitance and devices, then run every declared experiment.
+
+## Electrical Requirements and Scoring
+
+Both required release crossings must exist within the 0–30 ms observation; final high-domain release output must be 3.0–3.4 V, low-domain release output 1.6–1.9 V, and active-high reset output -0.1–0.2 V. Release times are paired with the source circuit under matching conditions for quality; original 0.5–25 ms timing and 1 mW power budgets are not rejection thresholds. Power and absolute errors must be nonnegative; all required measurements must be complete, finite and in correct units.
+
+| Metric | Functional requirement or measurement domain | Aggregation | Score weight |
+| --- | --- | --- | ---: |
+| `functional_area` | No fixed performance bound | max | 45% |
+| `release_time` | 0 … 0.03 s | max | 20% |
+| `low_domain_release` | 0 … 0.03 s | max | 20% |
+| `startup_power` | 0 … +∞ W | max | 15% |
+| `high_final` | 3.0 … 3.4 V | max | 0% |
+| `low_final` | 1.6 … 1.9 V | max | 0% |
+| `reset_final` | -0.1 … 0.2 V | max | 0% |
+
+The 1500 um2 area goal rewards compact placement of the startup network. Release timing remains centered on each ramp-specific source crossing: earlier release is not automatically better. A 100 us deviation scale makes parasitic shifts visible without imposing a timing tolerance. Area receives 45%, the two domain-release metrics 20% each, and startup energy rate 15%; both output domains remain functionally checked.
+
+| Metric | Quality anchor | Unit | Normalization | Scale |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `release_time` | paired source | s | target | 0.0001 |
+| `low_domain_release` | paired source | s | target | 0.0001 |
+| `startup_power` | paired source | W | saturating_ratio | 1e-06 |
+
+Independent source/candidate measurements remain paired under identical conditions. For a cost measurement x, saturating quality is `2*(b+s)/(b+x+2*s)`; target quality is `1/(1+abs(x-b)/s)`. Here b is the quality anchor above, and s is the declared scale. Take the worst quality across each metric’s conditions. Targets and scales do not add acceptance cutoffs; zero-weight observations remain checked.
+
+Area quality is `1500 um² / candidate functional area`. Total score is `100 × product(q_i^w_i)`, including area. Joint attainment of the goals scores 100; a feasible reference may score far below 100, and better valid solutions may exceed 100. Physical or functional invalidity scores zero; unusable measurements leave the score unknown.
+
+## Tools and Submission
+
+Solve budget: 6 hours. Use the task information, tools and SKY130 resources provided by the runtime protocol. Write only the final GDS to `output/final.gds` and explicitly submit through the declared interface. Source simulation serves characterization; accepted results come from complete physical and RC electrical evaluation of the candidate GDS. Conclusions cover only the declared conditions, excluding PVT, mismatch, reliability and product signoff.
