+/**
+ * ATtiny85 USI → I2C bridge.
+ *
+ * The ATtiny85 has no hardware TWI. TinyWireM (and Tiny4kOLED, the Adafruit
+ * tiny ports, etc.) drive I2C through the USI peripheral in two-wire mode:
+ * SDA on PB0, SCL on PB2. avr8js's `AVRUSI` shifts the USI data register out
+ * onto those port pins. This bridge sniffs the SDA/SCL lines, reconstructs the
+ * I2C transaction (START / STOP conditions + 8-bit bytes, MSB first) and
+ * replays it onto the shared I2C bus as start / connectToSlave / writeByte /
+ * stop — exactly what `AVRTWI` does for the ATmega328P/Uno. I2C devices
+ * (SSD1306 OLED, etc.) then receive data normally.
+ *
+ * TinyWireM does not abort on NACK, so the bridge is a passive sniffer and
+ * never drives the ACK bit — which keeps it simple and avoids fighting the
+ * open-collector line.
+ *
+ * Validated against the real ATTinyCore-compiled Tiny4kOLED firmware: the
+ * decoded stream is `connectToSlave(0x3C,W)` followed by the SSD1306 init
+ * commands (0x00, 0xC8, 0xA1, 0xAD, 0x30, 0x8D, 0x14 …) and framebuffer data
+ * (0x40, …) — identical to the hardware-TWI path.
