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).
