     - pass

Preconditions
-------------

Protection machine initialized in normal state with hazard and reset events available.

Procedure
---------

1) Inject transient hazard below latch condition. 2) Inject sustained hazard across required cycles. 3) Inject clear without reset and observe hold. 4) Inject reset and verify return to normal.

Expected Result
---------------

Protection latches only when criteria are met and remains latched until reset path is executed as defined in sm_protection_state.
