Noob here,

does VH have options for encoding working with both clock edges?

There's a difference between what Verilog will allow and what is "synthesizable". In other words, there is a lot of stuff that you can express in Verilog, but when you try to turn it into an FPGA bitstream, the software will say, "Sorry, I don't know how to do that." Coming from a software background, this seems bizarre, as if C++ compilers rejected valid programs unless they stuck to easy constructs with obvious assembly implementations.

Using both edges of a clock is something that you can express in Verilog, but can't be directly mapped onto an FPGA, so the synthesis software will reject it. You'd probably want to double the clock rate and use alternating clock pulses instead of alternating edges. See: https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/39709/using-...

To my understanding, isn’t it more like there being a perfectly good IR instruction coding for a feature, but with no extant ISA codegen targets that recognize that instruction? I.e. you get stuck at the step where you’re lowering the code for a specific FPGA impl. And, as with compilers, one could get around this by defining a new abstract codegen target implemented only in the form of a software simulator, and adding support for the feature to that. Though it would be mightily unsatisfying to ultimately be constrained to run your FPGA bitstream on a CPU :)
