"""Direct wrappers around vendor flashing tools: esptool, nrfutil, picotool.
These are escape hatches. Prefer the pio-based tools in flash.py when they
cover the operation — pio knows the correct offsets, protocols, and filters
for every supported board. Use these when pio doesn't: to erase a bricked
ESP32, DFU-flash an nRF52 zip package, or inspect an RP2040's bootloader.
Every destructive `*_raw` subcommand is gated by `confirm=True` so callers
can't accidentally `--write-flash` from freeform args.
