Detailed Description

Packet envelope containing received packet data.

Represents a complete received packet with all metadata. The envelope includes packet type, payload data, encryption status, and buffer ownership information for proper memory management.

MEMORY MANAGEMENT:

allocated_buffer points to buffer that needs to be freed
allocated_size indicates size of allocated buffer
Caller must free allocated_buffer when done with packet

Note: If was_encrypted is true, data has already been decrypted before being placed in the envelope.; allocated_buffer may be different from data if packet was encrypted/compressed (data points into allocated_buffer).
