Learning objectives

What you should understand

  1. Combine bounded types, storage and parsing
  2. Prove the steady-state path performs no allocation
  3. Document capacity and malformed-input behavior

Lab

Hands-on exercise

Assemble the phase components into a reusable protocol-core library.

Deliverable

Evidence of completion

A tested library with allocation instrumentation, fuzz corpus and API guide.
