In `@src/decoder.rs`:
- Around line 466-498: In try_read_identifier_bytes, add a short inline comment
around the pointer-restoration logic (the use of after_pointer and saved_ptr
after calling decode_pointer) that explains: after_pointer restores current_ptr
to the position after the pointer bytes (undoing the temporary dereference so
subsequent parsing resumes after the pointer), and the conditional reset to
saved_ptr is needed only when the pointed-to value is not a string to also undo
consuming the original pointer itself; reference the variables/methods
decode_pointer, after_pointer, saved_ptr, current_ptr, size_and_type, and
read_string_bytes so maintainers can easily locate the logic.
In `@src/reader.rs`:
- Around line 388-427: The function find_address_in_tree can finish all bit
iterations leaving `node` as an internal tree node (not >= node_count) which
later underflows in resolve_data_pointer; update find_address_in_tree so that if
the traversal completes the full depth (i.e., prefix_len equals 32 for IPv4 or
128 for IPv6) and `node < self.metadata.node_count` then treat it as "not found"
by setting `node = self.metadata.node_count` (so the existing check returns (0,
prefix_len)). Reference: find_address_in_tree, resolve_data_pointer, lookup,
self.metadata.node_count, and ipv4_start. Ensure both the IpInt::V4 and
IpInt::V6 branches follow this behavior.

eat_bytepanics on truncated/corrupt databases instead of returning an error.
eat_bytedoes no bounds check. Insize_from_ctrl_byte, for sizes 29/30/31, it's called 1–3 times in succession. If the buffer is truncated, this panics rather than returning aDecodeResult::Err. This is inconsistent with the newdecode_uint32/decode_uint16/decode_intpaths (Lines 295–374), which all performchecked_add+ bounds validation and return proper errors.Since this is a hot path and the panic only manifests on corrupt data, it may be an acceptable tradeoff — but worth acknowledging explicitly (e.g., a
// PANIC:safety comment) so future maintainers know this is intentional.

decode_stringstill uses unchecked arithmetic unlike the new integer decoders.The
is_ascii()→from_utf8_uncheckedoptimization is correct and well-commented.

In `@src/decoder.rs`:
- Around line 298-327: The decode_uint32 and decode_int functions duplicate the
big-endian assembly and bounds-check logic; extract that shared logic into a
small inline helper (e.g., fn read_u32_be(&mut self, size: usize) ->
DecodeResult<u32>) that performs the bounds check, computes new_offset, reads
the bytes into a u32 (big-endian), advances self.current_ptr, and returns the
u32; then have decode_uint32 call that helper directly and have decode_int call
the helper and cast the returned u32 to i32 (as i32), or alternatively update
the decode_int_like! macro to invoke the helper to remove the duplicate code in
both decode_uint32 and decode_int.

The defensive fallback when

DecodeResult<usize>would require broader refactoring, and the error will still surface. Consider adding a brief comment explaining why returninglenis safe (the next read will fail with a bounds error).📝 Suggested documentation

decode_pointersilently returnsbuf.len()on overflow — error messages will be indirect.When the pointer offset overflows or exceeds buffer length (lines 383–386), the function returns
buf.len()rather than an error. The actual failure surfaces later as "unexpected end of buffer" fromeat_byte, which obscures the root cause (a corrupt/invalid pointer).

🧹 Nitpick | 🔵 Trivial
decode_uint16 duplicates the pattern from read_u32_be — consider reusing.
decode_uint16 manually implements the same checked-add + match-on-size pattern that read_u32_be already provides. Since a u16 value fits in a u32, you could reuse read_u32_be with a size cap check and a truncating cast, similar to how decode_int works. This would eliminate ~18 lines of near-duplicate code.
