Is there a way to try different antenna diode insertion strategies in ORFS?

@Ramy Rabie Openroad itself has a
repair_antennas
function mentioned here. You could try different numbers of iterations. openlane allows specifying different insertion strategies in the configuration file. See
DIODE_INSERTION_STRATEGY
here.

Hi @Mitch Bailey, I hope you are doing well. I have tried using
repair_antennas
but when it adds antenna diodes it creates more antenna violations, and the problem gets bigger. I will try increasing the number of iterations. I think the only way to try these strategies in my private ORFS flow is to code them manually, am I wrong?

Thank you @Mitch Bailey I'll update ORFS and see if it fixes it. https://github.com/The-OpenROAD-Project/OpenROAD/pull/7377
