Module buffer 

Buffer policy values and small expr field-extraction helpers.

This module supplies the stream fabric’s buffering contract: BufferPolicy (a bounded capacity plus an overflow rule), BufferOverflowPolicy (what to do when a full buffer receives a packet), and BackpressureOutcome (the result a producer observes when it offers a packet). Each carries a stable stream/* symbol so the policy round-trips through the runtime’s symbol and Expr surfaces. The crate-private field helper reads a bare-symbol entry out of an Expr::Map and is reused by sibling modules that decode stream values; the typed string_field/symbol_field readers are thin wrappers over the shared sim_value::access slice readers.
