BlackMark bad8b6b43e build: the pin advances over the bounded calibration
libavr's calibrate() now bounds its measurement loop, starts the pulse
on an observed edge, and re-arms a rejected pulse on the remaining
budget instead of one-strike booting the application. The autobaud
images pay +16..20 B — every slot still fits, the worst now the 1284s'
502 of 512 — and the stock images are byte-identical, kept so by
fitting the loader's flag set per backend: -fno-ivopts stays on the
fixed-baud bodies it shrinks and comes off the autobaud body, where it
duplicated the calibration countdown into a 9-cycle loop against the
contracted seven.

One deployed constant moved and its gate caught it: the calibrate
wait's budget poll re-laid from ten cycles to nine (the exit branches
land where block layout puts them), so pureboot.window.autobaud
measured -10 % until AUTOBAUD_POLL_CYCLES and the README's derived
seconds were re-measured — the default autobaud window is 36 M cycles,
4.5 s at 8 MHz. Full gate green on all 37 chips; the README's autobaud
column carries each chip's rebuilt worst configuration, machine-checked
against the built trees.

"""The activation window as a behavioral duration gate.
The loader's window is a counted poll loop whose per-poll cost is hand-counted
in the source (`link::poll_cycles`) — but the loop compiles in consumer
context, so only the running image can prove the count. This test installs a
real application beside the loader (the host tool's own `plan_flash` supplies
the reset-vector surgery), starts the simulator with the line idle, and reads
the cycle of the first transmit activity: nothing talks until the window
closes and the application banners, so that cycle *is* the window, give or
take a banner lead measured in microseconds. Asserted at ±2 % — one
mis-counted cycle per poll shifts a window by 10 % and more.
Fixed-baud loaders declare their window in seconds (--seconds, the build's
TIMEOUT). The autobaud loader's window is its calibration poll budget
(--autobaud-polls); the seconds it amounts to are budget × 10 / f_cpu, the
measured cost of the calibrate() wait loop this gate pins.
