fix(gen-verilog): signed-aware ordered comparison

[gHashTag]

Problem

Verilog makes an ordered comparison (< <= > >=) unsigned if either operand is unsigned. A signed i8 (e.g. trend = -16 = 8'hF0) meeting an unsigned const reads as 240, so trend > THRESHOLD diverged from the Rust/Zig/C backends, which promote both operands to a signed int before comparing.

Fix

When at least one operand is signed, emit the comparison in the signed domain with C integer-promotion semantics:

• signed operand → $signed(x) — Verilog sign-extends it into the wider signed comparison context
• unsigned operand → $signed({1'b0, x}) — zero-extend one bit so the value stays non-negative

Unsigned/unsigned pairs are emitted unchanged. Example (is_degrading):

is_degrading = ((current_etx > QUALITY_POOR) && ($signed(trend) > $signed({1'b0, TREND_THRESHOLD})));

Validation

• link_quality_monitor's degradation_detection flips to passing — the last codegen-side runtime divergence in the tri-net corpus
• Full 105-spec icarus gate re-run against origin/main specs: 0 regressions
• FROZEN_HASH resealed
