Two fixes to the same complaint — opening a board took minutes and the dialog
explaining why was misleading.
Ordering: the scope-wide lib presync ran "in PARALLEL with the wasm download",
so ~155 libraries' worth of requests competed with the 26MB+ bundle and the
project's own files — the things the user is actually blocked on. It now
starts after driveProjectIntoTool, warming IndexedDB behind an editor that is
already open. Still fire-and-forget and best-effort (the SyncStack dedups, so
a lib the wasm reaches mid-presync awaits the same in-flight fetch), now
abortable on unmount, and no longer shown on the boot overlay as a counter the
user is waiting on — the background indicator owns it.
Wording: the dialog quoted the compressed size with no hint that it was
compressed ("~35 MB" for a bundle whose progress bar then counts ~150 MB raw),
and quoted only the count of libs whose BODIES need downloading — while the
progress bar went to 155, because every warm lib still costs a sync-stack
resolve plus a manifest GET to find nothing changed. It now reads "~35 MB
compressed / ~150 MB uncompressed" and "downloads 1 library, checks all 155
for updates". Every existing degradation path is kept: unknown sizes still
say "large", sizesKnown:false degrades to "at least ~X MB", and the
no-warmth-answer case now says "fetched in the background" rather than the
newly-false "downloaded now".
Investigated and NOT changed: the symbol path is not structurally more
deferred than footprints — both enumerateLibrary() implementations are already
no-ops, so neither face does bridge crossings at boot. The perceived
schematic-vs-board difference was this presync timing plus set size.
typecheck clean; 233/233 standalone tests pass.
