/*******************************************************************************
 * File Name: fw_hash.h
 *
 * Description: Boot-time SHA-256 of the active firmware image. Used by the
 *              Bento Desktop Buddy firmware-update flow so the
 *              desktop can compare the running image against a reference and
 *              so the on-device Y/N physical-ack prompt can
 *              display a stable hash prefix.
 *
 *              Implementation strategy:
 *
 *                We do NOT pre-bake the hash into the hex at link time — that
 *                requires a circular reservation + post-link patch step and
 *                adds a fragile tool dependency to the build pipeline. Instead
 *                the firmware computes SHA-256 over a known flash region at
 *                boot and caches the hex string in RAM. The trade-off is a
 *                one-time ~80 ms CPU hit on boot in exchange for no build-
 *                pipeline complexity.
 *
 *              Boundaries:
 *                Hash window covers the CM33_NS application code region only
 *                (start/end derived from symbols exported by the linker
 *                script). Bootloader + HSM regions are excluded because they
 *                sit on a different flash bank and are not part of the image
 *                the desktop can patch via OpenOCD.
 *
 *              Call fw_hash_compute_at_boot() ONCE early in main() before the
 *              Bento Buddy UI comes up. Safe to call multiple times — second
 *              call is a no-op.
