"""Leaf-cell Place-and-Route environment for the GenLeaf reproduction.

Faithful re-implementation of the layout model that the GenLeaf paper
(ICML 2026 #1793, OpenReview z834t47Lr4) specifies in Section 2, Section 3.2
and Appendix A.2:

* a leaf cell is a netlist N(C, E) of component cells placed in a single row;
* the decision variable is x = [o, r]: a placement permutation o and a per-cell
  flip r in {R0, MY}; the solution space is n! * 2^n  (paper Eq. 10);
* routing is the greedy channel-routing algorithm of Appendix A.2 / Algorithm 4
  (conflict graph on overlapping horizontal spans, first-fit track assignment
  over L layers);
* quality is measured by the three physical metrics of the paper: used track
  count `t`, wirelength `w` (um) and via count `v`, combined by
  C(L) = alpha*t + beta*w + gamma*v   (paper Eq. 1).

Everything here is deterministic given a case and a placement.
