Use these drills after completing all topics in Power Intent Fundamentals. Answer with state transition, policy object, owner, artifact, fix, and regression evidence.

Q: Why is a Power State Table required even when domains are obvious from RTL?
A:
PST encodes legal supply combinations and transition legality, making power intent executable and verifiable across tools.
FOLLOW-UP TRAP: Assuming domain definitions alone capture legal operational states.[INT][LP][POWER-INTENT-FUNDAMENTALS]
Q: What is the practical signoff risk of unresolved UPF object references?
A:
Tools may silently skip intended policies, causing missing isolation/retention behavior that appears only under transitions.
FOLLOW-UP TRAP: Treating unresolved references as harmless warnings.[INT][LP][POWER-INTENT-FUNDAMENTALS]
Q: CPF-to-UPF migration: what must be preserved beyond syntax?
A:
Semantic parity of domain boundaries, strategy conditions, control polarity, and legal state transitions.
FOLLOW-UP TRAP: Declaring migration complete after parser-clean conversion.STATE -> POLICY -> SEQUENCE -> IMPLEMENTATION -> REGRESSIONPOWER INTENT FLOW
architecture -> UPF objects -> tool binding -> verification evidenceState transition context must accompany every low-power metric claim.
Intent changes require simulation, formal, and implementation re-validation.
Comparing results from mismatched UPF revisions.
Assuming static checks replace transition validation.

Use this pack to rehearse low-power closure on low-power/power-intent-fundamentals/power-intent-fundamentals-tricky-qa: transition framing, policy ownership, implementation evidence, and release confidence.
State transition explicitly named with legal source/target states.
Crossing and domain ownership are mapped and agreed.
Policy controls are traced to always-on source logic.
Waveform bookmarks align controls with state timestamps.
Which policy object is first to deviate from intent?
Which owner can apply the smallest reversible fix?
What regression matrix proves no collateral damage?
Which waiver conditions would still block release?
