A design absorbs 115 merged changes in a single day

Claim

Any change to the specification is regenerated, reverified and redeployed to hardware in under 48 hours, so where a traditional chip program freezes its architecture early and defers later ideas to the next generation, this design never froze — absorbing 115 merged changes in a single day at its peak.

Reported metric: 115 changes in a day

The mismatch it resolves is one of clocks: an architecture freezes years before volume silicon, while the workloads it serves change in months.
