//! #778 (v0.46 Wave-1 Lane 2) — the `synth-wcet-v1` static worst-case-cycle map.
//!
//! synth holds the EXACT final instruction sequence of every compiled function,
//! so it is the natural owner of a SOUND static per-function worst-case execution
//! time (WCET) bound. gale's schedulability track (spar T3/T4) computes a
//! machine-checked response-time bound, but its per-task cost inputs (`C_i`) are
//! only DWT high-water-marks — *observations*, not *bounds* — and a hard build
//! gate forbids sizing budgets from DWT. This sidecar supplies the missing SOUND
//! input: a cycle bound that is provably ≥ any real execution of the function.
//!
//! ## Soundness contract (the whole point)
//!
//! A bound that is EVER less than the real cycle count is a defect. This module
//! is therefore deliberately conservative and DECLINES loudly rather than emit a
//! number it cannot defend:
//!
//! - **Loop-free functions** get an EXACT-form bound: every instruction in the
//!   final stream executes at most once, so the bound is the SUM of each
//!   instruction's documented worst-case cycles. Summing every instruction
//!   (including both arms of an `if/else`) is an over-estimate, hence sound; no
//!   path enumeration is needed.
//! - **Loops with statically-evident trip counts** (#778 phase 2): a canonical
//!   counted loop — const-initialized counter, const step, const bound, single
//!   backward branch — whose trip count synth PROVES from the final instruction
//!   stream gets `trip × body-worst + overhead` as an upper bound; every
//!   instruction's cost is multiplied by its proven worst-case execution count.
//!   Nested loops multiply only when EVERY level proves.
//! - **Everything else** — any loop synth cannot prove a trip count for
//!   (data-dependent bounds, non-canonical shapes), any residual/external
//!   label branch (unknown direction), any call (`Bl`/`Blx`, inter-procedural),
//!   any op whose encoder expansion contains an internal runtime loop
//!   (`i64` software div/rem), any unsupported core class — is DECLINED with a
//!   machine-readable reason. gale cannot size a budget from an unsound number,
//!   so a decline is strictly better than a guess.
//!
//! `--wcet-hints` (#778 phase 2, the scry seam) supplies UNTRUSTED per-loop
//! trip-count hints; each is soundly CHECKED against synth's own induction
//! proof before use and REJECTED with a machine reason otherwise (see
//! [`WcetHints`] / [`WcetHintReject`]). Richer hint certificates (data-dependent
//! bounds) and inter-procedural composition remain the named scry / spar
//! follow-ups, explicitly OUT of scope.
//!
//! ## Precondition — a bound without its assumptions is not a safety input
//!
//! The per-instruction cycle numbers are documented worst cases for the
//! **Cortex-M3 / Cortex-M4(F)** in-order pipeline under a **zero-wait-state**
//! instruction memory (flash accelerator / I-cache hit). The bound is CONDITIONAL
//! on that precondition, which is recorded in the JSON (`core_class`,
//! `wait_states`, `memory_assumption`) so the T4 consumer knows exactly what it
//! holds under. Cortex-M7 (dual-issue + caches with wait-states that can make
//! actual cycles EXCEED a zero-wait straight sum) is DECLINED, not
//! approximated — soundness over coverage.
//!
//! ## Schema (`synth-wcet-v1`)
//!
//! A JSON sidecar written next to the object (`<output>.wcet.json`). Purely
//! additive metadata: it is derived from the already-decided instruction stream
//! and never touches `.text`, so the emitted bytes are byte-identical whether or
//! not the bound is emitted (frozen-safe).
