Please merge master to your PR and make sure things still pass (or update). You are up next for metrics merge.

We are actually aiming to reduce the clock period, in a way that our optimization steps will have more room for improvement. If the design already has zero/positive WNS/TNS, you can reduce it to have more violations.

I set CORE_UTILIZATION to 30% to accommodate macro blocks and tested variations for PLACE_DENSITY_LB_ADDON. I kept the baseline at 0.20 while exploring 0.30 and 0.40 to improve slack.

0.20: WNS -182.79 | TNS -28.9k

0.30: WNS -179.62 | TNS -33.8k (Improved WNS, but TNS worsened)

0.40: WNS -234.77 | TNS -45.4k (Significant degradation)
