The showcase tier now leans on the helpers it fed back instead of reaching under
them: the info block is an avr::flash_table (no raw [[gnu::progmem]]), a page is
filled with spm::fill(addr, span) (no hand-packed lo|hi<<8 loop), and the
WDT-reset bail reads field<"MCUSR","WDRF">::test() (no read() & {}(1).value).
Zero-overhead throughout: .text stays 740 B, byte-identical across generated and
reflect modes, protocol test green. The info block streams through the existing
address-based send_flash rather than a range-for over the flash_table — the
range-for is a distinct loop that cannot share the loader's one flash streamer,
so it would add 14 B for no functional gain.

main carried the whole pre-libavr tree beside the port: the other-bootloader
directories (blink, stk500v2), the Atmel Studio solution/project, and — dead in
the tsb dir itself — four submodule links to the superseded io/flash/uart/type
libraries the libavr sources never include. None are build inputs; CMake drives
the three variants through FetchContent. master keeps the full legacy tree
untouched.

The -O3 leak is fixed upstream (cmake/release-os.cmake via CMAKE_PROJECT_INCLUDE),
so the port no longer needs its own string(REPLACE); a Release build is -Os
through the toolchain file. Verified: all three variants build at their sizes
(508/658/740) and pass the size + protocol ctest.

The native-UART fixed-baud TinySafeBoot protocol, ported onto libavr as a
crt-free boot-section loader, in three variants that trade clarity for size:
tsb_pure 740 B idiomatic C++: SRAM page buffer, separate flash/EEPROM
leaves, shared framing; the polled `unused` guard posture.
tsb_tricks 658 B unified runtime-flag paths (noinline/noclone), call-saved
global-register page walk — attributes only, no asm.
tsb_asm 508 B streaming store + hand-rolled UART/SPM/EEPROM/erase loops;
fits the 512 B boot section (BOOTSZ=11). Trims the optional
password gate and WDT-reset bail — unreachable in C++ with
both (hand-asm is ~15 % denser). Tiers 1-2 keep them and
live in the 1 KB section they fit.
All three are .text byte-identical across libavr's generated and reflect modes.
The CMake build strips the leaked -O3 (a Release build is silently -O3, not the
-Os this loader is measured against) and gates each variant's size against its
section. A simavr harness (test/device.c + test/tsbtest.py) drives the real wire
protocol over a pty and flashes the device; the size and protocol tests run in
ctest. Verified byte-for-byte against the reference tsbloader_adv (C#/mono):
activate, read info, flash write + verify.
