- Add Makefile with cocotb configuration for popcount_pipeline RTL simulation
- Add Python test module with reset, drive/expect helpers
- Test row metadata preservation and bit-count correctness across 7 vectors
- Split monolithic hw/sim/Makefile into modular include files (mk/cocotb-common.mk, mk/rtl-sources.mk)
- Add per-module test Makefiles (cam_core_banked, cam_read_noise, cam_write_noise, match_engine_pipeline, perf, top)
- Add missing simulation tools (yosys, graphviz, xdot) to devenv.nix
- Fix path handling in sweep_noise.py and test modules to be HASH_BITS-aware
- hw/sim/tests/test_cam_perf.py: new cocotb perf test with bounded wait helpers
- scripts/sweep_cam_perf.py: sweep data model, matrix, and make command builders
- tests/test_sweep_cam_perf.py: unit tests for sweep helpers
- tests/conftest.py: pytest path configuration for scripts package
- hw/sim/Makefile: deterministic noise params override for perf test compatibility
- Replace NOISE_GEN_BITS/NOISE_SAMPLE_BITS parameters with unified NOISE_BITS
- Use xorshift128 (random128) instead of xorshift64 for PRNG
- Add flip_mask_next combinational helper for single-cycle mask computation
- Add random_enable signal to advance PRNG only on accepted noisy writes
- Simplify FSM by removing mask_group_idx counter
- Update parameter validation: GROUP_BITS (= HASH_BITS/NOISE_BITS) must equal 64
- Update ref_model.py and tests to match new seed convention: {seed, seed}
- Update Makefile and sweep_noise.py with renamed parameters
