+TypeScript-written frame vectors, each decoded by the other side, the C#
+test reading both with the reference alone) and `ae29910` (37 entries as a
+third runner target; 72 of 72 across the three targets killed, one

+65,535-byte identity and 64 MiB payload ceilings recorded as a build rule
+plus the digest of the whole encoding rather than half a megabyte of
+literal text; the Body has five refusal messages where the spec listed six
+(negative length and length-sum mismatch share one); three refusals added
+that C#'s type system gives free, among them **a real divergence found by
+the test: `TextDecoder` deletes a leading U+FEFF where
+`Encoding.UTF8.GetString` keeps it, and U+FEFF is not .NET whitespace, so
+such an identity passes `Validate` and reaches the wire**, closed with
+`ignoreBOM`; C# sums lengths under `checked` and TS covers the overflow
+with its length refusal, unreachable from either encoder. Residual 1's
+exact-equality verification could not hold as written: applying the
+pre-check leaves eleven stricter-than-C# spellings, all the safe direction,
+pinned by name, because exact agreement needs .NET's registered-scheme
+table. The no-control-byte test caught a literal U+001F the Write tool put
