Can Joules Report on wasted power on the inputs of a gated flop?

Falanke

The scenario is where the inputs of a flop are toggling, due to upstream logic/flops being on.

But that upstream logic should've been gated off and wasn't.  Yet the downstream flop is properly gated.

Can Joules find this scenario?

So the designer can go and fix the upstream logic and disable that?

How do I generate such a report in Joules?
