Ah. Is this what is meant by "Flat is Justice"? 🤔️
The bathroom. Better to go before you go!
It's been a decade plus since I touched that stuff. (I worked with Xilinx and Altera FPGAs for a couple of digital logic classes back in college as a CS undergrad.) My memory of writing Verilog is a lot of dealing with the manufacturer's clunky IDEs to type in code, compile it to something that could be either simulated or loaded on the device, and a bunch of poking around at waveform diagrams in the software to try to debug my mistakes. I did not have a very good grasp on the physical structure of the FPGAs we were using, but was still able to program the devices successfully in a class. We did need to specify information about particular pins that we needed our logic to hook up to correctly. The compiler did the hard work of figuring out what actually needed to go where (and consequently ensuring a bunch of constraints implied by the logic are actually met about signal propagation timing). I'd expect the compiler to bitch at you if you ask it to try to synthesize something that ends up being too big to fit onto your target.
Contemporary Logic Design by Katz and Borriello was the textbook we used.
I don't know what the exact trigger condition is, but it didn't happen in my playthrough. I watched a streamer play that part after I was well past it expecting to see them suffer like I did and was really surprised!
Yep. The game has an Act 3. You can get to an ending in Act 2 but like the original HK, it's not the final ending.

If you do get past that fight early, you get assistance in the gauntlet fight a little ways past it.
I did not get past that fight early, and so did not get that assistance. The gauntlet ended up taking me about 10 hours (over multiple days of trying). I did get much better at the diagonal pogo though as a result though...
I finally beat Act 2 this past weekend. Honestly not sure if I am physically capable of beating Act 3 if they're going to ramp up the difficulty even more... Haven't given up yet though!
It had it when I became aware of it a decade+ ago; it's not new, at least.
Steins;Gate has a particular kind of humor. My gut feeling is that if you're bothered by anime humor in general in other shows you probably won't like it, but I don't know your specific tastes.
