5//! NVM free-space measurement.
6//!
7//! This module contains two functions with very different risk profiles:
8//!
9//! - [`scan_nvm`] — **read-only**: reads every occupied PIV object once and
10//!   tallies store / other / free bytes.  Safe to call at any time.
11//!
12//! - [`measure_free_nvm`] — **destructive probe**: fills every empty PIV slot
13//!   to its maximum capacity via binary search, sums the totals, then restores
14//!   all probe slots to empty.  The device is left in exactly the state it was
15//!   found in, but the probe writes are real and count against YubiKey NVM
16//!   wear.  Never call this function in a tight loop or in production hot paths.
