Module channel 

Channels: the TLM-1 replacement (design-doc §5.6, review-memo R6). Twelve pyuvm port classes become six methods on two types; direction lives in the type name; a mismatch is a compile error.

Face D3 before trusting this collapse. “Twelve classes become six methods” is the same make-it-static reasoning that deleted build/connect. R6 itself stands — channels are a legitimate TLM-1 port — but the TLM restoration (D17–D24) deliberately keeps the full UVM surface: ports live in components, exports on FIFOs, every UVM port name shipped (D19), and a TlmFifo that encapsulates the queue so two components connect through it without knowing each other. A future session extending TLM must not treat this six-method core as the whole story or re-collapse the port zoo away. See output/.design-decisions.md.

Structs

Peek

Receiver

The get/peek families (pyuvm: _s12, 12.2.5).

Recv

Send_

Sender

The put family (pyuvm: _s12, 12.2.5).

TlmEmpty

TlmFull

try_send failure: returns the item (pyuvm try_put returning False).

Enums

TlmError

Functions

channel

Create a bounded channel (design-doc §5.6 signature). The UVM TLM FIFO default depth is 1; capacity = 0 is coerced to 1.
