When code needs to work with packet decoder, it keeps header_used, packet, used, size here instead of scattering it across globals.

Detailed Description

When code needs to work with packet decoder, it keeps header_used, packet, used, size here instead of scattering it across globals. Initialization establishes the handles and sizes; teardown must release any allocation, lock, thread, or callback context recorded in those fields. Callback borrows a complete header+payload until it returns. It must copy any bytes it retains. An error is terminal: reset before feeding a new connection.

Incremental wire framing. Feed only on the owning connection's serial lane.
