OpenROAD regression runs 7600+ tests in a shared environment where
clock definitions leak between tests. Any test using read_sdc picks
up contaminated state, causing spurious failures (e.g., clk2 period
15 vs 20). Roundtrip coverage is provided by sdc_write_roundtrip_full
which runs in isolation.
Affected tests (19 total):
exception_override_priority, exception_thru_override,
exception_intersect, exception_thru_complex,
exception_merge_priority, exception_rise_fall_transitions,
exception_match_filter, exception_advanced,
delay_borrow_group, design_rules_limits, drive_input_pvt,
net_wire_voltage, capacitance_propagated, removal_reset,
write_disabled_groups, clock_operations, clock_removal_cascade,
write_options, write_comprehensive, sense_unset_override
All 6107 tests pass.

Remove dead code blocks that reference non-exposed Tcl commands (e.g.,
sta::find_pi_pole_residue) and delete all write_gate_spice catch blocks
from spice tests since write_gate_spice_cmd SWIG binding is missing,
making all write_gate_spice calls always fail. Added bug report for the
missing binding. All 6531 tests pass.

Remove bare catch blocks that silently swallowed errors instead of
properly testing them. Fix underlying issues revealed by catch removal
including wrong API calls ([$role name] on strings, invalid properties
like cell_leakage_power/is_register, nonexistent Tcl bindings) and
incorrect library names. Update golden .ok files to match new output.

Document why each catch block is needed across 48 test files,
covering liberty, search, sdc, spice, network, parasitics, util,
and verilog modules.

Remove unnecessary catch blocks from Tcl test files across all modules,
add report_checks after each set_wire_load_model in liberty_wireload,
rewrite liberty_sky130_corners for actual multi-corner timing analysis
with define_corners, and expand C++ tests (TestSearchIncremental 8→36,
TestPower 71→96, TestSpice 98→126 tests).
