Description

It's unnecessary (and made me some trouble to restore data) when the entire chip is erased before a bootloader is burned (e.g. by "Arduino as ISP")

Thanks a lot for reading & best regards

Research direction

The issue names no file, test, or entry point; start by locating the bootloader-burning path and checking where chip erase and EEPROM handling are defined. Done means the unnecessary EEPROM erase is avoided after a full-chip erase, while bootloader burning remains functional.
