Canonical byte (de)serialization for Object.

Spec: docs/SPEC-OBJECTS.md. The byte layout produced here is the v1 on-disk format; the golden-vector tests in tests/golden.rs pin it byte-for-byte.

Every deserializer:

  • Validates the 6-byte v1 prologue first.
  • Enforces per-type bounds (entry counts, identity len, etc.).
  • Rejects non-empty trailing bytes via MkitError::TrailingData.

Functionsยง

deserialize
Deserialize bytes into an owned Object. Validates the prologue and every per-type bound; rejects trailing data.
serialize
Serialize an Object to its canonical byte form. Allocates fresh each call; the result is fully owned.
