1//! Receive-side FlexFEC draft-03: recovers lost media and keeps repair packets off the wire.
2//!
3//! # No upstream counterpart
4//!
5//! `pion/interceptor` has a full draft-03 decoder that nothing constructs: `ConfigureFlexFEC03`
6//! registers only the encoder, and `newFECDecoder` appears outside its own tests nowhere. So this
7//! interceptor is new work, and the decisions it makes are ones upstream never had to:
8//!
9//! - **Repair packets are consumed, not forwarded.** They are not media; the application must
10//!   never see them, and neither should the interceptors below, which would treat their sequence
11//!   numbers as a media stream's and report gaps that do not exist.
12//! - **Recovered packets re-enter through `inner`.** A recovered packet has to look to every
13//!   layer below exactly like one that arrived normally.
14//! - **Memory is bounded** by the decoder's own retention limits; a receive path that keeps every
15//!   packet it has ever seen in case a repair packet turns up later is a leak.
