Merge main into remote PNR/verify branch; keep both harden features.

Resolve conflicts by retaining CategorizedCommand/--from/GUI options from main and remote harden/verify polling from the feature branch.

 **Key Options:**
 - `--list` or no argument: List all available macros
+- `--list-from-steps`: List valid LibreLane step names for `--from` for a specific macro
 - `MACRO`: Name of macro to harden (e.g., `user_proj_example`, `user_project_wrapper`)
 - `--project-root`: Specify project directory
-- `--tag`: Custom run tag (defaults to timestamp)
+- `--tag`: Run tag. Without `--from`, existing tag is overwritten; with `--from`, resumes that tag
+- `--from`: Start hardening from a specific LibreLane step (e.g., `OpenROAD.DetailedRouting`)
+- `--tag` + `--from`: Resume from that step using the existing run state under the specified tag
+- `--from` without `--tag`: Resume from that step using the latest existing run tag for the macro
+- `--open-in-openroad`: Open an existing run in OpenROAD GUI (uses latest run if `--tag` omitted)
+- `--open-in-klayout`: Open an existing run in KLayout GUI (uses latest run if `--tag` omitted)
 - `--pdk`: PDK to use (default: sky130A)
 - `--use-nix`: Force use of Nix (fails if Nix not available)
 - `--use-docker`: Force use of Docker (fails if Docker not available)
-- `--dry-run`: Show configuration without running
