I'm in general a fan of bypassing fir files, though there are compatibility concerns. Circt is also a fast moving target and isn't likely at the point it's going to...

On hold to until dealt with bundle assemblyFormat.

B should fall out naturally for any classic const-prop algorithm (as these can already handle multiply instantiated things). C should fall out from gather all constraints through every instantiation, which...

What happens if the folder is disabled? I don't think we depend on invalid folding for correctness now, and it shouldn't trigger. From that sense, the invalid lattice value is...

> However, instead we will get regression around registers whose values are actually zeros, This seems specifically a problem with merging lattice values for mux.

Opened #3325 for discussion.

We need an encoding for the behavior and lowering/emission options for different (possibly multiple) tools.

It certainly makes sense that most firrtl ops do not support non-firrtl types. external types look a lot like firrtl.analog types in their restrictions. Even the lowering of the instance...

@pbonh Do you know of the Circt Open Design Meeting? It's on Wednessdays at 11 Pacific. It would be great if you could take a week to talk about this...
