+# Delay calculation must not merge slew from set_case_analysis constants.
+#
+# Regression guard for "dcalc no slew merge for constant disabled arcs".
+#
+# GraphDelayCalc uses DcalcPred (dcalc/GraphDelayCalc.cc).  Its searchFrom
+# used to stop only at power/ground nets:
+#
+#   return !(sdc->isDisabledConstraint(from_pin)
+#            || (net && (network->isPower(net) || network->isGround(net))));
+#
+# SearchPred0::searchFrom (search/SearchPred.cc) stops at
+# sim->isConstant(from_vertex); DcalcPred did not, so in
+# findDriverEdgeDelays an arc whose source pin is an SDC constant still
+# passed searchFrom/searchThru and had its delay and slew merged into the
+# driver vertex -- including when that driver is a live, non-constant pin.
+#
+# The fix adds sim->isConstant(from_vertex) to DcalcPred::searchFrom, and
+# makes Sta::delayCalcPreamble propagate constants before delay calculation
+# so the predicate sees them.
+#
+# Circuit (dcalc_case_analysis_leak.v):

+# set_case_analysis 1 c makes net cn constant.  1 is non-controlling for an
+# AND, so n1 and z stay live and the A2->ZN arc is dead.  The reported path is
+# a -> u1 -> u2 -> z, which never traverses cn.
+#
+# Sweeping the wire load on cn must not change anything on that path.  Before
+# the fix it did: cn's slew rode the dead A2->ZN arc into n1, and n1's slew
+# set u2's delay, so the arrival spread was 46.38 ps.  The arrival column
