Module native 

Bounded Serde/Postcard encoding, decoding and request/response framing. Explicit resource admission for native Serde payloads in the same Postcard format.

Types, IDs, deterministic serialization and domain rules are consumer-owned. Resource admission follows Serde visits; no static schema is inferred. Custom Serde implementations are trusted: allocations/work outside visited values cannot be constrained here. See the runtime guide for budget semantics.

Constants

REQUEST_HEADER_BYTES

Native request frame header size, including magic, identity and direction.

Functions

decode

Decode a complete Postcard payload; allocation admission precedes visitor calls. Borrowed bytes and strings may refer directly to the input for its lifetime. Primitive representations are checked while reading; Serde normalization is consumer-owned.

decode_request

Check request identity and direction before decoding its bounded native value.

decode_response

Check response identity and direction before decoding its bounded native value.

encode

Encode an owned or borrowed native payload under explicit traversal allowances.

encode_into

Encode into reusable caller storage. Previous contents are cleared, including on error. Capacity may be lost on serialization failure; successful calls retain it. Retain a separate immutable frame when bytes must survive subsequent calls for retries.

encode_request

Encode a complete request; limits.bytes includes the canonical frame header.

encode_request_into

Encode a request into reusable storage; follows encode_into failure semantics.

encode_request_to_slice

Encode a complete request into caller storage; follows encode_to_slice.

encode_response

Encode a complete response, including borrowed response projections.

encode_response_into

Encode a response into reusable storage; follows encode_into failure semantics.

encode_response_to_slice

Encode a complete response into caller storage; follows encode_to_slice.

encode_to_slice

Encode a payload into caller-owned storage without allocating codec output.

encoded_frame_len

Measure a request or response frame; both directions have equal header length.

encoded_len

Measure one native payload with no output allocation; bytes excludes a frame.

method_id

Stable automatic endpoint identity from the exact exported IC method name.

validate_request_header

Validate only the fixed request header before a transport copies the payload. The complete request still requires normal decoding and resource admission. This delegates to the same validator previously used inside Wire’s endpoint module: accepted bytes and error ordering are unchanged after its package move.

with_encoded

Encode a payload using scratch storage or owned fallback, then consume its bytes.
