9fc28aa89a pureboot: artifact roles, wrong-chip refusal, and misplaced-loader re-homing 
The README's deployment section now says what each build artifact is for:
the .hex is the programmer artifact (self-addressed into the top slot),
the .bin the self-update image — bare slot bytes a programmer would put
at address 0, where a boot-sectioned mega cannot even heal itself (SPM
only runs from the boot section) but a patched-vector chip runs the
position-independent copy and re-homes a build through the ordinary
--update-loader flow: the staging install and the word-0 redirect both
execute outside page 0's slot, so the running-slot guard never blocks it.
pbrehome.py is the acceptance test (misplaced at 0, guard intact,
re-home, app flash over the stale copy, banner); the staging slot is the
one position that cannot re-home itself, documented. The preflight's
wrong-chip refusal and loader_image's handling of padded images (peeled
to the slot content by the embedded base) are documented and the padded
case pinned in the planner.

05ed8f560b pureboot: every libavr chip — 37 loaders, the m48 class, the 644 geometry 
The chip table becomes family blocks covering all 37 targets. The m48s
are a new deployment class: no boot section, so the tiny profile spoken
over the hardware USART — host-patched reset vector, trampoline
hand-over, a 510-byte budget (474 B built), no fuse preflight — while
their RWWSRE store stays the buffer discard (Atmel-8271 §26.2); the
device keys the patch flag and the CPU-halt waits on the curated
boot-section capability and the discard on the RWWSRE bit itself. The
644s' 64 KiB is exactly the 16-bit byte space: plain LPM, byte wire
addresses, 498 B in a 512-byte slot — and their 1 KiB minimum boot
section holds the resident and staging slots together, so self-update
needs no fuse step (the update test's slot pick now keys word-flash on
base >= 64 KiB; base + slot merely touching the boundary stays
byte-addressed). The 1284 joins the 1284P's word-addressed 1 KiB slot at
558 B. BOOT_FUSE gains every boot-sectioned family's ladder and fuse
byte; the planner exercises them all. The sim scaffolding keys
patch-vector-ness instead of the atmega name prefix, the fixture app
picks its clock by family (the tiny25/45/13 builds surfaced the 16 MHz
fallthrough as garbled banners), and the runner's wrapped flash ioctl
performs the m48 discard simavr's no-RWW cores turn into a stray buffer
fill. Sizes across the fleet: 466-504 B megas, 474 B m48s, 498 B 644s,
488-502 B tinies, 558 B 1284s — every chip passing

b3d4101d8e pureboot: correct the 1284P deployment profiles in the README 
The deployment section claimed the 1284P has no standalone profile, runs
BOOTSZ = 512 words always, and self-updates with no fuse change, reset
landing at 0x1f800 — internally contradictory (a 512-word section starts
at 0x1fc00, and the section holding both 1 KiB slots is 1024 words) and
contradicted by update_preflight, which refuses a self-update unless the
boot section covers two slots. The text described a 512-byte-slot
geometry this chip's loader cannot have. In truth the 328P profile table
maps onto the 1284P doubled: standalone = 512 words (the smallest
section is exactly the 1 KiB slot, reset at the loader base), self-update
= 1024 words with the loader-first reset walking the staging slot.

dacd21bd78 pureboot: the 1284P rides a 1 KiB slot — its own boot-sector minimum 
The far machinery (ELPM reads, RAMPZ page commands, wire-word math)
costs ~46 B over the m328P's 504, and the tsb-calibrated C++-to-asm
gap says no implementation of this feature set reaches 512 on this
chip — a boundary its hardware does not have anyway: the 1284P's
smallest boot sector is 1 KiB. The slot therefore becomes
per-geometry (512 B, or 1 KiB past 64 KiB), which the host derives
from the word-addressing flag; slot arithmetic unifies (the index is
the wire high byte with its low bit dropped in either unit), the
update preflight demands a two-slot boot section in the chip's own
terms, and pbapp's hand-back jumps to the real slot base. libavr's
far primitives split their RAMPZ/Z asm operands (a page never
crosses 64 KiB, so callers keep a byte and a 16-bit cursor — the
32-bit address folds away; flash_load_far's byte form becomes the
out-RAMPZ+elpm pair avr-libc's pgm_read_byte_far rebuilds per call),
and the host splits reads at 64 KiB boundaries. All ten chips pass
the full suite — the 1284P at 558 B including protocol, relocation,
and the power-fail self-update — with pureboot byte-identical across
generated and reflect modes everywhere, and the original three
chips' images unchanged to the byte (488/502/504).

90a29d872f pureboot: the classic megas and the word-addressed 1284P groundwork 
Device: boot-section detection probes SPMCR beside SPMCSR, the link
picks any hardware USART through the instance-aware lookups (URSEL
chips included), WDRF reads MCUSR-or-MCUCSR, and the >64 KiB shape
lands — word-addressed wire flash (info flag bit 1, page byte 0 means
256, base as a word address), far reads through flash_load_far, a
single 32-bit byte-cursor page walk (the 256-byte page wraps its low
byte exactly), and slot arithmetic in words (the return address
already is one). Host: addresses stay bytes internally and scale at
the wire, the boot-fuse decode becomes a per-signature table (byte
index + BOOTSZ ladder — the m168A's lives in EXTENDED), and the
planner tests pin every chip's ladder plus the word-addressed info
decode. Tests: the device runner serves every mega over the USART pty,
pbapp banners over the right link, the update rehearsal synthesizes
its assumed fuses from the tool's own table, and the PI lint tracks
the renamed info symbol. All six classic-mega/168A targets pass the
full suite (size, PI, planner, protocol, reloc, self-update) at
466–504 B; the 1284P builds await a libavr far-path slimming to make
its 512.

cbddbc4457 pureboot: take the device signature from the chip database 
libavr now exposes avr::hw::db.signature (compile-time, from the ATDF), so the
info block drops its per-chip hardcoded signature() for the db constant. The
loaders are byte-identical across modes with the correct signature, sizes
unchanged (488/502/504).

93f4ac784d build: emit a raw .bin beside the HEX for every loader image 
The host tool takes either form — load_image() parses Intel HEX by extension
and treats anything else as raw bytes — but the build emitted only the HEX, so
the raw path had no artifact behind it. The reloc and update tests each shell
out to objcopy at runtime to produce one for themselves.

add_hex_output becomes add_image_outputs and emits both forms. The .bin is
byte-identical to the plain `objcopy -O binary` those tests generate (-R .eeprom
strips nothing the loaders carry), and decodes equal to the HEX payload — 504 B
at 0x7e00 either way for pureboot. Sizes come out at the flash sizes exactly
(504/510/836/526), so nothing stretches to the .data load address.

e85840fa39 pureboot: take the emitted loader HEX for --update-loader 
The build emits an Intel HEX beside every loader image, but --update-loader
could not consume one: load_image() anchors every image at address zero, and
a loader HEX links at its base, so it decoded to a 32760-byte blob carrying
504 bytes of loader at the end. staging_content() then refused it as "loader
image is 32760 B, the slot holds 512" - an error naming neither the cause nor
the raw .bin the tool wanted instead.

Drop the blank below the base in the update path. The base comes from the
image's own info block rather than the device's, so an image built for
another target survives the slice intact and the preflight still reports it
as another target rather than failing to find an info block at all.

Verified on an ATmega328P: the full self-update flow driven straight from
pureboot_timeout-5s.hex, resident slot byte-for-byte against the image
afterwards, application preserved; both refusal paths unchanged.

045372a2bc pureboot: drive the serial port on Windows too 
The host tool was standard-library-only but POSIX-only with it: termios and
select() bound the port layer, and importing termios failed outright on
Windows, so the module could not even load there.

Split Port into PosixPort (unchanged) and a WindowsPort over the Win32 serial
API through ctypes, picked by os.name; every call site keeps the Port name.
kernel32 only, so the standard-library constraint holds.

Windows has no select() for a COM handle, so the read deadlines move into the
driver as COMMTIMEOUTS, re-armed per read: read_available() ends on a gap
longer than a USB-serial latency timer coalesces (16 ms on FTDI parts),
read_exact() on the count or its deadline. Opening asserts DTR and RTS as a
POSIX open does, so a board wiring DTR to reset still pulses it. A failed
configuration closes the handle before raising - a COM handle is exclusive,
and the leak met the next open as "Access is denied". Win32 takes any integer
baud and a driver may accept one its hardware cannot produce (an FT232R
reports back a baud of 3 and keeps the old divisor), so obvious nonsense is
refused where termios' table would have.

Tested against an ATmega328P on COM6: info, fuses, both memories programmed
and verified, session reconnect, hand-over, the loader self-update, and the
write guard on its own slot. test_planner runs on Windows now as well.

19662d2386 build: emit an Intel-HEX beside every loader image 
avrdude programs Intel-HEX, not ELF, and the build produced only ELFs — so
flashing a loader to a real chip meant running objcopy by hand. add_hex_output()
hangs a POST_BUILD objcopy on each loader image: the three tsb tiers through
add_tsb_variant, pureboot, and the re-timed pureboot9. .eeprom is dropped, being
its own avrdude update.

It uses the toolchain file's CMAKE_OBJCOPY rather than a hardcoded path, so
every chip preset emits hex, not just the mega. pbapp keeps its ELF alone: the
update test converts it to a raw binary itself, and it is not a flashing target.

f6598b0511 pureboot: PI lint, tightened gates, and the self-update test suite 
check_pi.py asserts the two link-time facts position independence rests on
(no absolute jmp/call; the info block within the image's first 256 bytes);
the size gates drop to 510 on the tinies for the trampoline word.

New per-chip tests beside the reworked protocol test: the planner units
(programming orders and their recovery properties, the surgery, staging
composition, boot-fuse decode, and the update preflight's error/warning
matrix over synthetic fuse bytes), the relocated-copy sweep (the identical
image installed one slot lower serves the full command set — the PI
acceptance test, and the one that caught the temporary-buffer trap), and
the self-update end-to-end: --update-loader to a re-timed build
(pureboot9, byte-different by PUREBOOT_TIMEOUT alone), then every
power-fail phase killed mid-write, restarted from the runner's flash dump,
and completed by a re-run with the application intact throughout. The mega
rounds run the BOOTRST-unprogrammed profile: the fixture application's 'L'
jump is the application-owned loader entry that profile relies on.

0604d3a0ad pureboot: one position-independent binary — its own staging loader 
The image now runs from any 512-byte slot with every command intact:
control flow stays PC-relative, the write guard keys on the running slot
(the return-address anchor, computed once), the info block is addressed
from that same anchor as a byte pair (no absolute 16-bit address in the
image), and the application jump is an indirect call through a noipa-
laundered pointer to the absolute entry. 'J' — jump to a wire word
address, the one transfer primitive — replaces 'G': the host knows the
application entry from the info block, and moving between loader copies
needs arbitrary targets. The activation window is a compile-time 8 s
(PUREBOOT_TIMEOUT overrides), counted as a single calibrated poll loop.

A refused page no longer poisons the write-once temporary buffer (a real
silicon trap: the next write would program the drained data): every page
write discards the buffer first — CTPB on the tinies, on the mega the same
RWWSRE store that re-enables RWW after programming. The tinies' post-op
busy-waits go with it: their CPU halts through page erase and write.

488 / 502 / 504 B on t13a / t85 / mega — under the tinies' 510-byte budget,
whose last slot word is the host-managed trampoline: the resident's holds
the application entry, a staging copy's the jump through which an abandoned
update still times out into a loader.

The host tool updates the loader with itself: --update-loader installs the
identical image one slot below the resident, jumps into it, lets it rewrite
the resident, and restores the staging region from a state file — each
phase idempotent off the flash state, resumable after any interruption
(t13a: the staging slot carries the reset vector, written last in and
first out; t85: word 0 redirected around the resident rewrite; mega:
fuse-matrix preflight with a hard BOOTSZ gate and --assume-fuses for
simulators). Application flashing recovers by reset from any interruption:
patched page 0 and trampoline first, erase descending, and a walk-region
refusal behind --force on BOOTRST-below-loader megas.

62a548cc09 pureboot: harden the sim device runner 
Cancel the GPIO bridge's cycle timers with the state they drive: avr_reset
drops the TX latch, whose falling edge starts a spurious decode before
bridge_reset runs, and the stale sampler then interleaves with the loader's
first real answer through the shared shift state — the first post-reset
replies came back corrupted and the knock retries burned the activation
window into the application.

Wrap the mega's registered flash ioctl to re-dispatch page erases with Z
masked to the page boundary: simavr's PGERS handler erases spm_pagesize
bytes from Z & ~1 (its PGWRT path masks correctly), wiping the neighbouring
page when Z sits past the page start, which hardware permits (§26.8.1).
Model the write-once temporary buffer in the tiny NVM module — silicon
refuses a second load per word until the buffer clears, and a last-write-
wins model masks real firmware bugs.

Optional arguments select the reset vector (the mega's fuse profiles) and a
raw flash image to resume from (power-fail tests re-enter a dumped state).

7d103ca957 pureboot: review-pass fixes to the host tool and device runner 
pureboot.py: reject an empty image file with a clear error instead of
an IndexError deep in the vector-surgery planner; tighten the erase
docstring (order is irrelevant there — every target byte is the same
value, unlike a real flash where page 0 must go last).

pureboot_device.c: the GPIO bridge's bit_cycles used plain truncating
division where the firmware computes its own bit period with
round-to-nearest (uart.hpp: (Clock.hz + Baud.bd/2)/Baud.bd) — one
cycle off per bit on both tinies, harmless in practice but needless
drift against a firmware built to a different constant. Matched
exactly. Also clear the queued-bytes/decode-in-progress bridge state
on the test-only reset signal, so a future reset-mid-transfer scenario
can't feed a freshly reset chip bytes queued for its previous life.

5b361904ab pureboot: host tool and end-to-end protocol tests, all three chips 
pureboot.py (Python stdlib only): images as raw binary or Intel HEX,
flash and EEPROM programming with read-back verify, erase composites,
fuse and info readout, activation-timeout configuration, and the
tinies' reset-vector surgery — the trampoline word below the loader,
page 0 written last.

The test spawns a simavr device (pureboot_device.c) — the mega's USART
as a pty; on the tinies a cycle-timed GPIO<->pty bridge for the polled
software UART plus the NVM module simavr's tiny cores lack (their SPM
opcode ioctls into a void and silently does nothing) — and drives it
with the real tool: knock from reset (erased-flash walk on the tinies),
program and verify both memories, timeout write, session reconnect, an
external reset through the patched vector, hand-over, and the fixture
application's banner. Results are cross-checked against ground-truth
memory dumps and an independent decode of the surgery's rjmp words,
red-verified against a sabotaged encoder.

da730b7bb5 tsb: third size pass — restructure to the oracle's shape 
The second pass concluded the 168 B tricks->asm gap was per-call ABI
cost. Most of it was structure. Rebuilt around the oracle's own shape —
argless noinline primitives over a whole-loader call-saved register
protocol (g_addr in Y, count r16, window r7, direction latch r6), a
top-down erase_below whose loop tests against zero and hands callers
g_addr = 0 for free, bounded rx everywhere (a silent host unwinds to
the app from any state, as the oracle does), and a named tsb_app entry
that --pmem-wrap-around=32k relaxes to the wrapped rjmp:

  tsb_asm    510 B in the 512 B section (oracle: 500), C++ except rx
             and the page-store loop — the two routines whose remaining
             cost is the calling convention itself (~30 asm lines, was
             ~280)
  tsb_tricks 526 B, no assembly at all (was 666)
  tsb_pure   836 B, still one readable function per command (was 842)

Every g_* update placement works around a GCC 16.1 wrong-code bug
(stores into global register variables deleted when only callees read
them — repro and rules in libavr dev/lessons.md). Also fixes two
latent hardware bugs all earlier tiers carried, masked by simavr's
zeroed register file: the crt-less entries never established
__zero_reg__ = 0, and the direction latch was read before written —
power-on registers are undefined.

All tiers full oracle feature parity, protocol tests green in both
libavr modes, .text byte-identical across modes.

c351bee257 tsb: beat the first-pass size floors (tricks 666, pure 842) 
tricks 778->666: always_inline every single-call handler into the
[[noreturn]] reset entry (which pays no prologue, so their push/pop of
call-saved registers vanishes), walk the page pointer in Y (adiw, base
recovered as g_addr-page) instead of recomputing Z=base+offset, bring
the UART up in the two registers that are not already at their reset
value, and seed the activation counter as __uint24.

pure 896->842: TU-local internal linkage (proper hygiene, and it lets
the compiler inline the one-call handlers), a byte-wide activation
count, __uint24 timeout. Still one readable function per command.

asm unchanged at 498: its C++-expressible parts are already C++; the
core stays asm (the 666 B all-tricks tier is 168 B over — per-call ABI
tax, not a feature). All three cross-mode byte-identical, protocol green.

rx->SPM/EEPROM instead of staging a 128 B page buffer. All three keep full oracle

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.

7d6ef959b2 tsb: asm tier reaches full oracle feature parity at 502 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.

11ffbce2e2 tsb: vendor the fixed-baud assembly oracle as the size/feature bar 
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.

f32a27ff15 tsb: use the named register surface 
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.

57d94cf631 tsb: refactor the pure tier onto libavr sugar 
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.

8203a24f33 tsb: slim the port branch to the libavr reimplementation 
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.

2906da3272 tsb: drop the local -O3 strip, now handled by the libavr toolchain 
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.

64c1e484b5 tsb: reimplement TinySafeBoot on libavr in three size tiers 
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.

# pureboot as a consumable CMake unit: the per-chip geometry, the default
# baud ladder, and pureboot_add_loader() — the one way a loader target is
# created, both by this port's own build and by a downstream project. A
# downstream project brings its usual libavr setup (the `libavr` target and
# the LIBAVR_MCU toolchain preset), adds this directory, and states its
# deployment:
#
# add_subdirectory(bootloader/pureboot)
# pureboot_add_loader(myboot CLOCK 1000000 SERIAL software TX pb1 RX pb5)
#
# Every argument is optional — CLOCK defaults to the family assumption
# below, BAUD to the fastest standard rate the clock reaches within 2.5 %
# (the ladder), SERIAL to the chip's hardware USART where it has one
# (`hardware`/`software` force a backend, USART 1 picks the second
# instance), RX/TX to pb0/pb1 for the software UART, TIMEOUT to 8 s.
# Infeasible picks fail the build by name: libavr's baud-error and
# software-UART cycle-floor static asserts re-check whatever is passed.
# Per-family geometry: flash/page/EEPROM sizes and the linker wrap the PC
# modulo needs, the loader slot (each chip's smallest boot sector — 1 KiB on
# the word-addressed 1284s), and the deployment defaults (crystal assumption
# on the megas, calibrated RC on the tinies). The USART flags mirror the
# hardware inventory the loader's own static asserts check (the plain 644 is
# the x4 family's one single-USART die, Atmel-2593).

A serial bootloader on [libavr](https://git.blackmark.me/avr/libavr), pure by
constraint: one C++ source, no inline assembly, no global register variables

word-addressed wire) is the heaviest. Those are the stock deployments;
choosing the software UART where the chip has a USART costs 8–46 B more (a
bit-bang against a peripheral), which every chip still absorbs inside its
slot — on the 1284s that means their 1 KiB boot sector, where the
software-serial image lands at 546 B. Bringing the 1284's default build
under 512 at all is what the loop-placement attributes on the byte streamers
(`pureboot.cpp`) and the codegen flags on the loader TU (`CMakeLists.txt`)
are for; measured against each chip's own budget the tightest is the
ATmega328P, 50 B spare. Clock, baud, serial backend and
pins are per-build configuration (below); the size matrix in the test suite
holds every combination inside its slot. The device speaks primitives; every
composite — verify, erase, reset-vector surgery, updating the loader itself —
lives in the host tool (`pureboot.py`).
The 1284s still *deploy* in a 1 KiB slot, their smallest boot sector being

## Configuration
Every deployment axis is a build parameter, resolved by the CMake function
`pureboot_add_loader()` (in `pureboot/CMakeLists.txt`) — the one way a
loader target is created, by this repo's own build and by a downstream
project alike:
| Argument | Meaning | Default |
|---|---|---|
| `CLOCK <hz>` | the clock the board runs | 16 MHz megas, 8 MHz t25/45/85, 9.6 MHz t13s |
| `BAUD <bd>` | the wire rate | the ladder below |
| `SERIAL auto\|hardware\|software` | the link backend | `auto`: the hardware USART where the chip has one |
| `USART <n>` | the USART instance (x4 megas carry two) | 0 |
| `RX <pin>`, `TX <pin>` | software-UART pins | `pb0`, `pb1` |
| `TIMEOUT <s>` | the activation window | 8 |
The default baud is the fastest of 115200/57600/38400/19200/9600 the clock
reaches within 2.5 % — the same U2X-included divisor search libavr's baud
solver runs — and on a software build additionally within the polled
receiver's 100-cycles-a-bit floor. 16 MHz lands 115200, 8 MHz 57600,
1 MHz 9600. Whatever is picked or overridden is re-checked in the compile:
an infeasible clock/baud/backend combination, or a USART the chip does not
have, fails with a named static assert.
A downstream project brings its usual libavr setup (the `libavr` target,
the chip via the `LIBAVR_MCU` toolchain preset), consumes this directory,
and states its deployment — for example an ATmega328P on its shipped
1 MHz fuses with the software UART on hand-picked pins:
```cmake
FetchContent_Declare(bootloader GIT_REPOSITORY git@git.blackmark.me:avr/bootloader.git GIT_TAG main)
FetchContent_MakeAvailable(bootloader)
add_subdirectory(${bootloader_SOURCE_DIR}/pureboot pureboot)
pureboot_add_loader(myboot CLOCK 1000000 SERIAL software TX pb1 RX pb5)
```
The function emits the ELF plus `myboot.hex` (the programmer artifact) and
`myboot.bin` (the self-update image), prints the size, and stamps the
resolved deployment on the target as the `PUREBOOT_HZ`, `PUREBOOT_BAUD`
and `PUREBOOT_LINK` properties — what a flashing script or test harness
needs to speak to the build. This exact example deployment runs the full
protocol suite in CI (`pureboot.custom`).
## Link
The stock builds assume the family's natural deployment; any axis moves
per build (above).

512-byte slot the loader is *running* in are drained but never programmed — a
broken host cannot brick the running copy, and a staged copy may rewrite the
resident slot.
The loader never clears the SPM buffer before a fill, so **one `W` may
program the wrong bytes, and the host is what fixes it**. The buffer is
write-once per word until cleared, and two things leave words in it: a
refused page (drained, never programmed) and — where SPM runs from anywhere,
the tinies and the m48s — an application that self-programmed before
entering. The next `W` takes those stale words, and clears them: a page write
auto-erases the buffer (§26.2.1; §19.2 on the tinies), so repeating it
programs correctly. The host therefore verifies every page it writes and
rewrites what comes back wrong (three retries, then it stops); a host that
programs without reading back cannot trust the first `W` after either event.
`w` is host-paced: send the next byte only after the previous
resident slot. `w` is host-paced: send the next byte only after the previous

## Version
The third byte of the info block is the **pureboot version** — the loader's
one identity number, and the only way to tell what a deployed loader is.
Nothing else is numbered: the wire protocol has no version of its own, a
pureboot version implies its protocol, and the host tool is what holds that
map. It states the window of loader versions it speaks
(`OLDEST_LOADER`/`NEWEST_LOADER` in `pureboot.py`); a version that changes
the protocol becomes the new floor there. So far none has: pureboot 1 and 2
speak the identical session, and a loader newer than the tool is refused by
name rather than decoded on the assumption that nothing moved.
The tool carries its own version, free to drift from the loader's:

"""Dirty-page-buffer acceptance test: the loader carries no buffer discard,
so a page filled over words an earlier writer left behind programs those
instead. This asserts the whole contract — the corruption is real and a bare
verify sees it, the repairing verify fixes it in one rewrite (the write that
took the stale words auto-erased the buffer), and it stays fixed.
The state is reached the way the loader cannot prevent: an application
dirties the buffer and jumps in with no reset between. Real boot-sectioned
megas forbid that outright — SPM executes only from the boot section
(Atmel-8271 §26.2) — but simavr dispatches SPM from anywhere, which is what
makes the path constructible at all.

which defaults to offset 0): the staging install and the word-0 redirect
both run from copies whose slots are not page 0's, so the running-slot
guard never blocks the flow. The staging slot itself: a loader already
sitting there IS the installed staging copy — the tool recognizes it by
its embedded info block and leaves it in place instead of tripping the
