-///
-/// # BinaryProtocol
-///
-/// Low-level binary encoding and decoding for BitChat protocol messages.
-/// Optimized for Bluetooth LE's limited bandwidth and MTU constraints.
-///
-/// ## Overview
-/// BinaryProtocol implements an efficient binary wire format that minimizes
-/// overhead while maintaining extensibility. It handles:
-/// - Compact binary encoding with fixed headers
-/// - Optional field support via flags
-/// - Automatic compression for large payloads
-/// - Endianness handling for cross-platform compatibility
-///
-/// ## Wire Format
-/// ```
-/// Header (Fixed 13 bytes):
-/// +--------+------+-----+-----------+-------+----------------+
-/// |Version | Type | TTL | Timestamp | Flags | PayloadLength  |
-/// |1 byte  |1 byte|1byte| 8 bytes   | 1 byte| 2 bytes        |
-/// +--------+------+-----+-----------+-------+----------------+
-///
-/// Variable sections:
-/// +----------+-------------+---------+------------+
-/// | SenderID | RecipientID | Payload | Signature  |
-/// | 8 bytes  | 8 bytes*    | Variable| 64 bytes*  |
-/// +----------+-------------+---------+------------+
-/// * Optional fields based on flags
-/// ```
-///
-/// ## Design Rationale
-/// The protocol is designed for:
-/// - **Efficiency**: Minimal overhead for small messages
-/// - **Flexibility**: Optional fields via flag bits
-/// - **Compatibility**: Network byte order (big-endian)
-/// - **Performance**: Zero-copy where possible
-///
-/// ## Compression Strategy
-/// - Automatic compression for payloads > 256 bytes
-/// - zlib compression for broad compatibility on Apple platforms
-/// - Original size stored for decompression
-/// - Flag bit indicates compressed payload
-///
-/// ## Flag Bits
-/// - Bit 0: Has recipient ID (directed message)
-/// - Bit 1: Has signature (authenticated message)
-/// - Bit 2: Is compressed (LZ4 compression applied)
-/// - Bits 3-7: Reserved for future use
-///
-/// ## Size Constraints
-/// - Maximum packet size: 65,535 bytes (16-bit length field)
-/// - Typical packet size: < 512 bytes (BLE MTU)
-/// - Minimum packet size: 21 bytes (header + sender ID)
-///
-/// ## Encoding Process
-/// 1. Construct header with fixed fields
-/// 2. Set appropriate flags
-/// 3. Compress payload if beneficial
-/// 4. Append variable-length fields
-/// 5. Calculate and append signature if needed
-///
-/// ## Decoding Process
-/// 1. Validate minimum packet size
-/// 2. Parse fixed header
-/// 3. Extract flags and determine field presence
-/// 4. Parse variable fields based on flags
-/// 5. Decompress payload if compressed
-/// 6. Verify signature if present
-///
-/// ## Error Handling
-/// - Graceful handling of malformed packets
-/// - Clear error messages for debugging
-/// - No crashes on invalid input
-/// - Logging of protocol violations
-///
-/// ## Performance Notes
-/// - Allocation-free for small messages
-/// - Streaming support for large payloads
-/// - Efficient bit manipulation
-/// - Platform-optimized byte swapping
