For Openlanes Design Verification (DV) scripting, can these tests verify the operation of internal Macros? What about if the Macro is given the '(* blackbox *)' tag in the RTL?

For future reference if anyone stumbles across a similar issue.
OpenLane's DV testing does not appear to be capable of investigating how the behavior of GDS/LEF macros operate. With the (* blackbox *) flag appearing to have no effect. Expect outputs to always be X (unknown).
