+//! pardes, as ESP32-P4 firmware.
+//!
+//! There is no operating system under this. `_start` is the reset entry the second-stage bootloader
+//! jumps to, and this file is the entire platform: a heap, a millisecond clock, and UART0.
+//!
+//! ## Where the editor is
+//!
+//! Not in this package. `../02-pardes-code` compiles its core for riscv32-freestanding and emits
+//! ONE object exporting the six C functions declared below; `-Dpardes` links it. The seam is a file
+//! rather than a package dependency for a reason recorded at length in `build.zig`: declaring the
+//! editor as a `build.zig.zon` path dependency nested its ~30-package graph under this one and
+//! broke every build in this repo, including the ones that have nothing to do with it.
+//!
+//! The seam is deliberately **bytes in, bytes out**. Everything that needs to know what a cell is -
+//! vaxis, the ANSI encoder, the input parser, the capability handshake - lives on the far side,
+//! next to the vaxis it is built against. What crosses is a byte stream in each direction, which is
+//! exactly what a serial line is, so this file has no opinion about terminals at all.
+//!
+//! ## Where the memory is
+//!
+//! Measured on this die by `examples/memprobe.zig`, not read off a datasheet:
+//!
+//! 0x4FF02000..0x4FF3F000 244 KiB .data/.bss/.stack live at the bottom of this
+//! 0x4FF3F000..0x4FF40000 4 KiB mask ROM .data/.bss - untouchable, ets_printf needs it
+//! 0x4FF40000..0x4FFC0000 512 KiB handed to the editor as its entire heap
+//!
+//! The 512 KiB arrives as `__heap_start`/`__heap_end` from the generated linker script, so those
+//! addresses are written down in exactly one place. The editor owns that span outright: it is
+//! passed in at init and this file never allocates from it.
+//!
+//! PSRAM is not used. The board has 32 MB fitted and it would make all of this comfortable, but
+//! ESP-IDF's own ESP32-P4 implementation runs past a thousand lines - MPLL, MSPI clocking, pin
+//! drive and DQS, CS timing, mode registers, a connectivity check, and an entire timing-calibration
+//! subsystem - and the mask ROM offers only MMU mapping, no device init. Touching it untrained
+//! faults and hangs the core, which `examples/memprobe.zig` demonstrates on purpose.

+//!
+//! Two decisions worth stating, because both are measurements rather than preferences.

+//! then pushing that many cuts the status reads by up to the FIFO depth (128, `hal/uart.zig:52`).
