  fvutils Weekly Highlights — Week ending 24 Feb 2026

  This week the fvutils organization delivered a set of maintenance and tooling improvements across core verification utilities. Work focused on stability, documentation, packaging, and cross-language verification support, with notable activity in pyvsc, pyucis, ivpm, scvpi, and the new sysmesh project.

  pyvsc
  - Landed nested rand_attr/coverpoint support and fixes (PR #265), resolving coverage sampling issues for nested randobj fields; added comprehensive tests and documentation updates.
  - Additional commits improved recursive flattening, options handling, and test assertions.

  pyucis
  - Merged a documentation restructure and landed fixes to improve SQLite/XML interoperability and TUI coverage display; mapping of expression and condition coverage to XML was corrected.
  - An enhancement issue to support cocotb-coverage as input/output was opened for follow-up.

  ivpm
  - Introduced package-lock support for reproducible workspaces, added venv isolation as the default with an opt-in flag for system-site-packages (--py-system-site-packages), and improved handling for tag-only releases.
  - Several commits added tests and documentation for lockfile and packaging behavior.

  scvpi
  - Merged a community contribution that extended VPI support, added example designs (adder, TinyALU_SystemC), introduced pytest and CI workflows, and improved VPI object initialization and registry handling.

  sysmesh
  - Bootstrapped a new repository with initial content to start a runtime framework for multi-abstraction system simulations.

  What’s next
  - Prioritize implementing cocotb-coverage support in pyucis, continue test/CI stabilization across ivpm and scvpi, and iterate on documentation so users can adopt these fixes quickly.
