Part 9 answers: Can I take a spec to green CI on my own?
The final part hands you a new spec and asks for everything: spec, microarchitecture, RTL, testbench, Makefile and CI, all green. A review rubric tells you exactly what good looks like before you ask anyone else to look.
Then a map shows where each deep course takes you next, matched to the role you want.
What | Detail |

Deliver a second small design from a written spec to green CI.
Review your own work against the rubric before asking anyone else.

Lessons are in learning order: each one sets up the problem the next one solves. The glossary and the command cheat sheet are open to you throughout; if something fails, go to the troubleshooting table.
