atawq/monik8 ? reverse-engineered prompt

Build me the full project so I can use a Raspberry Pi Pico or similar board as the controller for this Apple device research tool.

I want a working command line setup that flashes the microcontroller firmware, talks to the target over USB, and runs the full flow from start to finish with clear status messages and error handling. It should support the same Apple chips and devices described in the README, and make it easy to build a release version with the provided script.

Please make sure the firmware, host side code, and any helper script all work together, and that the project is easy to compile on a fresh machine with the basic dependencies mentioned in the README. If anything is unclear, look up the current docs online and fill in the gaps in a sensible way.

Also keep the user experience simple, so someone can plug in the board, connect the target device, run one command, and see whether it succeeded.
