585/// (so the same constraints on type and buffer size apply), then walks each
586/// band's validity mask and writes `nodata` into every position that the mask
587/// reports as invalid. For pixels with `depth > 1`, all `depth` slices of an
588/// invalid pixel receive the sentinel.
589///
590/// The returned [`DecodeResult`] still carries `valid_masks`, so callers that
591/// want both the sentinel-filled buffer and the masks (e.g. to distinguish
592/// genuine sentinel-valued pixels from mask-driven fills) have access to both.
593///
594/// Bands whose mask is [`BitMask::AllValid`] are skipped entirely — no writes
595/// occur for those bands.
