The window gate's first full sweep caught it on the atmega8: 6.22 s measured against 8 declared, the exact 7/9 of a poll modeled as an extended-I/O lds + skip on a chip whose UCSRA sits in bit-addressable I/O and compiles to a 2-cycle skip. poll_cycles now follows the status register's home (7 below 0x40, 9 above). At 16 MHz over 7 cycles the poll count no longer fits uint24_t, so the classic megas' stock windows take the wide countdown — 8.000 s measured on all three, +4 B of stock image (m8 362, m16/m32 364), README stock rows updated.
