The pin crosses libavr's phase 6 - the renamed system surface, the named
serial configs, the receiver-tolerance table, the paged SPM receipts -
and every loader image comes out size-identical: the full matrix on six
representative chips (the exhaustive cross product on three of them),
the stock and autobaud columns untouched, the four tsb tiers back on
their recorded floors at 510/526/638/836.
Byte parity was not free, and the two libavr defects it surfaced were
fixed there rather than absorbed here. The EEPROM write procedure's
step 2 - the SPMEN spin - had landed unconditionally and cost every
build six bytes for a wait a polled loader can never take; it is scoped
now, and the loaders state the datasheet's own omission clause
(spm_interlock::omitted, DS40002061B 8.6.3). The blocking page
erase/write grew an internal wait the tiers' settle() already provides,
so the tiers issue the command form and pureboot keeps its host-driven
sp_spm path.
What the port states rather than inherits: the stock 115200 at 16 MHz
sits +2.1 % past the receiver-tolerance table libavr now holds rates
to, so the hardware links say .allow_baud_error = true - the same
2.5 % envelope pureboot_baud_feasible() has always enforced, proven on
silicon across the fleet. rx_ready() reads readable() now.
Alongside the pin: rule 33's ASCII sweep over every source (docs keep
their typography), rule 34's InsertBraces in .clang-format with the
tree reformatted, std::array over the simavr runners' raw buffers, and
the stale Studio size in ide/README.md replaced by the claim its
check-flags gate actually holds.

HALF_DUPLEX deploys a shared line per backend. The hardware USART takes
the library's .half_duplex turn-around — RXD and TXD tied off-chip, each
reply byte held to transmit-complete before the line can be released
(m8 404 B, m328P 440, 1284P 460; the window poll runs through the
outlined release-line call at 18 or 22 cycles a poll, measured off the
built loops and held per chip by pureboot.window.halfduplex). The
software and autobaud links fold onto the RX pin — RX == TX spells the
same — and cost nothing: the frame's direction wrap is what the dropped
second-pin init paid, and the worst image in the space is unchanged at
the 1284s' 502 of 512, now with its one-wire twin proven equal across
the exhaustive matrix. The host gains --one-wire, the echo discard a
shared line requires: the adapter's echo is matched byte for byte and a
reply interleaving a blind write — a loader already in session
re-prompts inside the knock — is held for the reader. The device runner
models the shared line by direction (drives only while the firmware's
DDR reads input, decodes only while the firmware owns it, supplies the
host-side echo), extends the USART pin-ownership model to RXEN's hold
on RXD, and starts the pty USART from the datasheet's zeroed UCSR#B:
simavr's TXEN-set reset plus its clear-UDRE-on-TXEN-drop otherwise
wedges the first transmitter after a receiver-only program, which the
half-duplex window gate caught as a banner that never came. v7 is
tagged at its era's last commit; v8 changes nothing on the wire.

libavr's calibrate() now bounds its measurement loop, starts the pulse
on an observed edge, and re-arms a rejected pulse on the remaining
budget instead of one-strike booting the application. The autobaud
images pay +16..20 B — every slot still fits, the worst now the 1284s'
502 of 512 — and the stock images are byte-identical, kept so by
fitting the loader's flag set per backend: -fno-ivopts stays on the
fixed-baud bodies it shrinks and comes off the autobaud body, where it
duplicated the calibration countdown into a 9-cycle loop against the
contracted seven.
One deployed constant moved and its gate caught it: the calibrate
wait's budget poll re-laid from ten cycles to nine (the exit branches
land where block layout puts them), so pureboot.window.autobaud
measured -10 % until AUTOBAUD_POLL_CYCLES and the README's derived
seconds were re-measured — the default autobaud window is 36 M cycles,
4.5 s at 8 MHz. Full gate green on all 37 chips; the README's autobaud
column carries each chip's rebuilt worst configuration, machine-checked
against the built trees.

The window's per-poll cycle counts were hand-counted for a uint32_t
countdown, but every default window fits uint24_t, whose decrement chain
is one sbci shorter — so deployed loaders ran 9/10ths of their stated
seconds (a 328P's 8 s was 7.2 s on the wire). No golden-asm pin can hold
this: the loops compile in consumer context. pbwindow.py measures the
behavior instead: it installs a real application beside the loader
through the host tool's own plan_flash (surgery included), starts the
simulator with the line idle, and reads the cycle of the first transmit
— the application's banner, so that cycle is the window. Held at plus or
minus 2 percent per chip (pureboot.window), red at -10.0 percent against
the old constants, green with poll_cycles now counted for the narrow
countdown (hardware 9, software 7; window_polls() solves narrow-first
and adds the wide loop's cycle where the count forces uint32_t — a count
narrow only at the wide cost stays wide, so the choice cannot
oscillate). The autobaud window is its poll budget at the measured ten
cycles a poll, gated the same way (pureboot.window.autobaud), and the
README carries that arithmetic now. No version bump: timing-window
precision is not meaningful behavior, v7 stays.
The gate flushed out two runner gaps. The software bridge accepted any
falling edge as a start bit, so the device's own TX-init glitch decoded
as a stray byte; it re-samples mid-bit now and abandons a false start,
as silicon does. And after avr_reset, the idle-line re-raise was
silently dropped: ioport pin irqs are IRQ_FLAG_FILTERED and the irq's
cached value survives the reset the port latch does not, so the device
read the line stuck low, calibrate() measured reset-to-first-edge as one
wrapping pulse, and the first knock after a reset could boot the
application instead of locking — the intermittent autobaud failure.
bridge_reset forces a real transition (0 then 1, no cycles between).
The README's Autobaud column now carries each chip's worst
configuration — autobaud with OSCCAL baked, on a USART's own pins where
the chip has one (tinies: autobaud + OSCCAL) — the numbers the existing
pureboot_autobaud_osccal[_on_usart0] matrix points already gate;
sizes.py checks the column against exactly those targets. Tool sizes
and window prose updated with it.
