Section goal

Phase and objection questions are the #1 hang-debug interview topic. Practice timelines on paper, not just code.

Mechanism to narrate

  • Objection count > 0 prevents simulation end

  • Every raise needs a matching drop (test, seq, or component)

  • drain_time lets DUT pipeline flush after drop
