ArXi:2605.15226v1 Announce Type: cross We ask whether agentic AI systems built for software engineering transfer to realistic hardware engineering. Existing hardware LLM benchmarks isolate sub-tasks but none jointly requires repository navigation, hierarchy-aware localization, Electronic Design Automation (EDA) executable verification, and maintenance-style patching. We
