BlackMark 74d8b92885 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.

# The TinySafeBoot protocol reimplemented on libavr in three variants that trade
# clarity for size. Each links into the ATmega328P boot section (BOOTSZ selects
# its size; BOOTRST vectors a reset to its base) with -nostartfiles — a polled
# loader has no use for the crt or the vector table. The naked entry sits in
# .vectors, laid first, and runs. The boot base is FLASHEND+1 minus the section
# size; the linker section-start and the source's boot_bytes agree. tsb_app is
# the application's reset vector, pinned to 0 here so the loaders jump to a
# named function; --pmem-wrap-around lets relaxation turn that absolute jump
# into the wrapped rjmp AVR's modulo-flash PC actually executes.
# All three implement the full oracle feature set (see oracle/README.md):
# watchdog bail, one-wire half-duplex, config-page activation timeout, password
# gate, emergency erase, config/flash/EEPROM read-write. They differ only in how,
# and the size gradient is the cost of that "how" — see dev/lessons.md.
# tsb_asm — the tricks tier's C++ with exactly two routines in asm (the
# bounded rx and the page-store loop — the two whose remaining
# cost is the C ABI itself): 510 B in the 512 B section the
# hand-written 500 B oracle occupies. Everything else, from
# bring-up to dispatch, is C++ on libavr.
# tsb_tricks — no asm at all: the whole-loader register allocation lives in
# global register variables (Y walks the page pointer), every
# helper is a tiny noinline primitive placed by the
# global-register store rules, pages stream straight to
# SPM/EEPROM, and the bring-up is the two reset-non-default
# registers only. 526 B in the 1 KB section (BOOTSZ=10) — 14
# over the oracle's section, from 168 over at this tier's first
# floor.
# tsb_pure — pure idiomatic libavr, one function per command, TU-local
# (internal linkage), streaming (no SRAM page buffer): 836 B in
# the 1 KB section.
