Enable hold analysis with 4 parallel workers:
Use a pre-existing SDC directory instead of generating new SDCs:

```bash
python run_benchmark.py --test create_clock_rca --hold --num_workers 4
python run_benchmark.py --test create_clock_rca --sdc_dir ./my_sdc_files/

Use a pre-existing SDC directory instead of generating new SDCs:
Run the `BASIC_uncertainty` test case with hold optimization enabled.

```bash
python run_benchmark.py --test create_clock_rca --sdc_dir ./my_sdc_files/
python run_benchmark.py --test BASIC_uncertainty --hold

Run the `BASIC_latency` test case starting from `vpr` to skip technology mapping.

```bash
python run_benchmark.py --test BASIC_latency --starting_stage vpr

Use valid table rows for the output files.

The ~~|...|~~ lines are strikethrough text, not table rows. markdownlint reports missing outer pipes and extra columns, so the table renders incorrectly. The runner also copies these four raw reports into each run directory. Document the actual filenames, or remove the rows as real deletions. Align the summary filename with save_vpr_timing_report while updating this table.

In `@README_timing.md` around lines 101 - 104, Update the timing-output table in
README_timing.md by removing the strikethrough entries or replacing them with
valid outer-pipe table rows that document the four raw reports copied per run;
derive the exact filenames from the runner and align the summary filename with
save_vpr_timing_report.
