The register VXSAT should be RW only to the first bit.
The remaining bits should be 0.

The RISC-V Instruction Set Manual Volume I: Unprivileged Architecture

The vxsat CSR has a single read-write least-significant bit (vxsat[0])
that indicates if a fixed-point instruction has had to saturate an output
value to fit into a destination format. Bits vxsat[XLEN-1:1]
should be written as zeros.

New versions should not be replies to previous versions.
No need to re-spin *only* to collect tags; tools can do that.

Nit: no need to mask on read...

... because you know the value is already correct from the write.
