Each scenario group now runs on its own freshly-reset device: the round-trip
on a blank config page, plus a password-config device that must be sent the
password after the knock to activate, and an emergency-erase device where a
0-byte + two confirms wipes flash, EEPROM and the config page (verified by
reading all three back as 0xff). All three tiers pass every group.

Both tiers gain the features the asm tier already carries — one-wire
half-duplex (via libavr's new .half_duplex), the config-page activation
timeout, and emergency erase (password \0 + double-confirm wipes flash,
EEPROM and the config page) — on top of the watchdog bail, password gate and
config/flash/EEPROM read-write they already had. pure stays idiomatic
(flash_table info block, one function per command) at 950 B; tricks keeps its
compiler trickery (call-saved global-register page walk, unified runtime-flag
paths pinned noinline/noclone, streaming stores, arithmetic command decode)
at 808 B. Both byte-identical across generated and reflect modes; the size
gradient across the three tiers is now 502 / 808 / 950 B.

Rewrite the inline-asm tier so it matches the hand-written fixed-baud oracle's
feature set inside the 512 B boot section: watchdog-reset bail, one-wire
half-duplex (RXEN/TXEN toggled per direction, TX turnaround guard),
config-page activation timeout, the password gate (wrong byte hangs draining
the UART), emergency erase (password \0 + double-confirm wipes flash, EEPROM
and the config page), and config/flash/EEPROM read-write. Every geometry,
baud and info-block constant comes from libavr consteval; only the dense
control flow is hand-written. 502 B, byte-identical across generated and
reflect modes.
Test harness: seed the config page from TSB_CONFIG so the password and
emergency-erase paths are exercisable, and clear simavr's AVR_UART_FLAG_POLL_
SLEEP — a host-CPU-saving usleep(1)-per-idle-poll hack that models no hardware
and paces a one-wire loader (which releases TX between bytes) in real time,
distorting protocol timing.

The Seed Robotics native-UART fixed-baud TinySafeBoot (GPLv3), reference
only — not built. Assembles to 500 B with the full feature set, proving
≤512 B and full feature parity are simultaneously reachable. Also drops the
stale empty stk500v2/ leftover.

Direct register access now reads through the named surface
(hw::mcusr::wdrf.test(), hw::ucsr0b::write(...)) instead of the string form,
matching how libavr itself is written. Zero-overhead: pure 740 B, tricks 658 B,
asm 508 B unchanged, all byte-identical across modes, protocol green.

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.
