+The cocotb simulation flow uses `verilog/includes/includes.rtl.caravel_user_project` as its source files, which includes a path to the Neuromorphic IP behavioral model. In order to avoid making a second `user_project_wrapper.v`, it is simpler to modify the behavioral model module name from `Neuromorphic_X1` to `Neuromorphic_X1_wb` to align with the stub that is used when actually hardening. With this change, the same `user_project_wrapper.v` works for both (cocotb) testbenching as well as hardening.
