cajeta.io.Buffer — a byte buffer with typed, reinterpreting access, backed by an owned int8[]. T is the buffer’s natural element type; the load* family reads any width at an arbitrary byte offset (unaligned) — the SWAR / serialization workhorse a plain int8[] can’t express. v1 ships the byte/word read core (byteAt, loadU64); strided element access, reinterpret<U>, and the store* family land as scenarios demand them.

int8[] bytes = heap int8[16];
Buffer<int8> buf = heap Buffer<int8>(#bytes, (int64) 16);
int64 total = buf.byteCount();          // 16
int8 b0 = buf.byteAt((int64) 0);
int64 word = buf.loadU64((int64) 0);    // unaligned little-endian 64-bit load

Methods

Signature
`Buffer(#int8[] data, int64 byteLength)` ⚑	Wrap (take ownership of) `data`; `byteLength` is the valid byte count
`int64 byteCount()`	Total valid bytes
`int8 byteAt(int64 off)`	The byte at `off`
`int64 loadU64(int64 off)`	Unaligned little-endian 64-bit load at byte offset `off`; the caller keeps `off` in `[0, byteCount - 8]` (no bounds check)
