The size matrix proves every image fits its slot and says nothing about the
numbers the README prints. Those drift silently: caller_page() took eight bytes
off every build at once, so all fifteen rows went stale together and no test
noticed, because nothing was over budget. sizes.py check-readme compares the
table against the built images; sizes.py max reports the largest image per chip
and anything over its slot.
It is a check rather than a generator, so the table stays prose someone can
write. No chip geometry lives here either: the image/budget pairs come out of
each build's own CTestTestfile.cmake, which is what the gate checks, so a chip
added or a budget changed needs no edit. Only trees a preset still owns are
read — a stale directory answers with a size that was true once.
16243 images across 37 chips today, none over budget, tightest tsb_asm at 510
of 512.
