Description
@nmoroze and @moidx reported that the bitstream cached for the `earlgrey_1.0.0` is still from when the branch was originally created, and that tests thus run on an outdated bitstream.
We need to have the latest RTL and ROM, as frozen, in the bitstream cached for the `earlgrey_1.0.0` branch. There's no need for automatic future updates of the cache, though; RTL and ROM won't change for this branch anymore.
We should also document how such a manual bitstream cache update is conducted.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Inspect how the earlgrey_1.0.0 bitstream cache is populated and how tests select it, then verify the cache contains the frozen RTL and ROM and document the manual update procedure.
