Words cannot express how excited I am that I'm writing this up on a Model 01, or how cool I think this entire everything is.

This PR follows up on keyboardio/Model01-Firmware#44

At least on macOS, the PROG key needs to be held until flashing finishes,
otherwise it will loop an unhelpful error message, maybe indefinitely.

It's not (generally) necessary to hold down prog until the firmware upload is complete. I flash firmware frequently from an iMac, and I always let go once the upload starts and the LED chase gets going. Failures and error messages are very rare.

@gedankenexperimenter interesting. Per the firmware issue link above, I actually see a failure every time if I don't hold prog long enough. (I've also never seen the "LED chase" you're talking about.)

Is there, perhaps, an appropriate point at which the flash code could notify the user that prog could be released?

The "LED chase" is a sequence of keys lighting up red on the left half of the keyboard, zig-zagging up and down one column at a time. If you're not seeing that when you upload the firmware, there may be something wrong with the bootloader on your keyboard, but that's not my area of expertise.

Ahhh. I do notice the chase now; I only see it when flashing works, and my hand had been obscuring it ;P
