BlackMarkandClaude Opus 5.5 aafaf25a47 tsb: one spelling of the clock and the baud, and the asm's bits by name
The tricks and asm tiers spelled 16_MHz three times each and now name it once;
the policy tier's lean bring-up solves the baud from the link config the
serial unit is declared with instead of restating 115200 8N1. The asm tier's
immediates - RXEN0, RXC0's bit, SPMEN, PGWRT|SPMEN and the three UART
addresses - are operands read from the chip database rather than numbers with
comments beside them, so avr/io.h is left for SPMCSR's I/O address alone; pure
and tricks drop an include nothing used. Headers that described the code as it
was are corrected (pure's "only attribute", the policy tier's history), the
rule references leave the comments, and locals are const auto.

All four images are byte-identical to before, in both modes for tsb_asm.

// TinySafeBoot on libavr - the policy floor: pureboot's rules, measured.
//
// The full TinySafeBoot feature set - watchdog bail, one-wire half-duplex,
// config-page activation timeout, password gate, emergency erase, and
// config/flash/EEPROM read-write - with no assembly and no register variables:
// code, attributes and flags only. It applies pureboot's size techniques - the
// library's half-duplex serial and startup entry, lean bring-up from reset
// state, one merged send loop over both memories, oracle-shaped loop bounds,
// locals threaded through noinline primitives, pureboot's codegen flags - and
// lands between the idiomatic tier and the 512 B section the tricks/asm tiers
// reach with the banned mechanisms (oracle/README.md holds all four). The gap
// to 512 is the rent of policy-clean C++: helpers that hold a cursor across
// rx()/tx() pay push/pop and argument threading where a global-register
// protocol pays nothing, and both control-flow merges tried (a parametrized
// paged session, a merged store loop) measured larger than the split cases.
//
// The wire protocol is strict request/response, which is what makes the
// shared line safe: the device drives it only between a received command and
// its reply, and releases it (the library's half-duplex choreography)
// whenever it waits.
