//! Telemetry packet core type and formatting helpers.
//!
//! [`Packet`] is the main payload-bearing type. It:
//! - holds sender, endpoints, timestamp and raw payload bytes,
//! - validates payload sizes and encodings against the schema from `message_meta`,
//! - supports pretty printing (header + decoded values) for debugging/logging,
//! - uses [`SmallPayload`] internally to keep small messages on the stack.
