AGENTS.md carried PR numbers and dates inside its rules (GCC 15, the flash-size hang, RAK4631 confirmation). This states each as the current invariant and leaves the history to the changelog.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Documentation
  • Clarified that the TinyUSB and nrfx vendored components must be updated together.
  • Updated ARM GCC guidance to distinguish the CI-pinned version, the closest verified alternative, and versions not yet verified after a diagnostic fix.
  • Clarified the requirements for restoring the bootloader from CURRENT.UF2, including matching the dump size to the installed application and recording the application’s actual size.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

AGENTS.md now documents the paired lib/tinyusb and lib/nrfx update rule, GCC 15 verification status, and the requirements for a bootable CURRENT.UF2 dump and restore.

Changes

Repository guidance

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Update repository guidance AGENTS.md	The submodule note says that lib/tinyusb and lib/nrfx must be updated together. The GCC note describes GCC 15 as unverified since the diagnostic change. The CURRENT.UF2 note states the dump sizing and bank_0_size conditions for a bootable restore.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~8 minutes

Change: Other

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 7b0c5

The guidance should mention that invalid size metadata can produce a maximum-region dump rather than an app-sized one. This affects a bounded edge case and does not change runtime behavior, so overall merge risk is low.

Architecture Summary

Architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 7b0c5

The change affects 1 system.

Before / after behavior

• observed — Modified behavior in AGENTS.md: The submodule guidance replaces the account of specific failed Renovate PRs with the rule that lib/tinyusb and lib/nrfx must move together; a PR bumping either one alone fails CI.
• observed — Modified behavior in AGENTS.md: The GCC note now says GCC 15 is unverified since the scoped diagnostic pragma for the fixed-address read was added; it removes the prior description of the former failure, the backport reference, and the instruction to update the note after rebuilding.
• observed — Modified behavior in AGENTS.md: The CURRENT.UF2 gotcha replaces the historical hang-and-fix account with the requirement that a byte-for-byte restored dump boot, identifying the installed-app-based dump size and UF2 completion's recording of the actual app size in bank_0_size as the conditions. It retains the serial-DFU bank_0 warning, with its hardware-confirmation wording removed.

- Around line 185-186: Update the CURRENT.UF2 sizing statement in AGENTS.md to
qualify that it is usually based on the installed app, and document that
current_flash_size() falls back to TRUE_USER_FLASH_SIZE when bank_0_size is
zero, erased, or oversized, including for apps installed by tools that bypass
the bootloader settings page.
