//! Alignment-tracking buffer reader/writer for XCDR.
//!
//! XCDR data is alignment-sensitive: a `u32` field must start at a
//! 4-byte boundary, a `u64` at an 8-byte boundary, etc. The encoder
//! inserts the necessary padding bytes (value 0) before each write;
//! the decoder skips them.
//!
//! Alignment is computed relative to the **stream start** (offset 0),
//! not relative to the current position inside a nested member. This
//! matches OMG XTypes §7.4.1: "All elements are aligned to a multiple
//! of their alignment requirement, relative to the beginning of the
//! encapsulation".
//!
//! Deliberate architectural choice: only the dynamic Vec-based writer
//! (alloc feature). A slice-based writer for no_std-without-alloc is
//! not implemented — `alloc` is a transitive mandatory dependency via
//! `zerodds-foundation` anyway.
