// TinySafeBoot on libavr — tier 1: pure, idiomatic C++.
//
// A serial flash bootloader for the ATmega328P boot section, reimplementing the
// TinySafeBoot native-UART fixed-baud protocol on libavr with the full feature
// set of the hand-written oracle: a watchdog-reset bail, one-wire half-duplex,
// a config-page activation timeout, the password gate, emergency erase, and
// config/flash/EEPROM read-write. This variant is written for clarity —
// well-factored functions, no compiler-specific size hacks, no inline assembly.
// The one-wire wiring, the flash-resident info block and every SPM/EEPROM lock
// are libavr's to handle; the only attribute is the naked reset entry that
// stands in for the absent C runtime.
