+   * varint, an unfinished payload / array, or a still-open nested sequence).
+   * Running out of bytes mid-field is not an error — the decode merely suspends
+   * until the next chunk, and the caller owns end-of-input.
    *
-   * Per the finish-less spec (MESSAGE_SPEC §7) this is a pure accessor: it never
-   * throws and never promotes an incomplete decode to an error — the caller owns
-   * end-of-input and decides whether a trailing `Incomplete` is a truncation
-   * error. (A *malformed* message has already thrown from {@link feed}.)
+   * **This call is the only place the answer is.** There is no finish / finalize
+   * step (§5.2.4) and no status accessor: what this returns, or throws, is the
+   * whole of what the stream has to say, so a caller is never one question short
+   * after it and never has two answers to reconcile. Feeding an empty chunk
+   * re-reads the same value without consuming anything, for a caller that wants
+   * the outcome again without holding on to it.
+   *
+   * The chunk is borrowed **only for the duration of this call** (§6.0): once it
+   * returns, the caller may reuse, overwrite or free that memory, and the decoded
+   * message is unaffected — the decoder retains nothing that points into it.
+   *
+   * `INVALID` travels on the error channel — this port's idiomatic surfacing of
+   * it: *malformed* bytes throw {@link SofabError} (`INVALID_MSG`) instead of
+   * returning a status, which is why the return type names only the other two.
+   * That verdict is **terminal** (§5.2.1): the stream latches it, so a caller that
+   * catches the throw and feeds on gets the same error again from every later
+   * call — no further byte is consumed and no visitor method is invoked. A caller
+   * that caught it already holds the verdict, in the code on the error it caught.
+   *
+   * A receiver-limit rejection (`LIMIT_EXCEEDED`, §6.2.1) travels the same
+   * channel — thrown out of the visitor callback that compared the cap — but it
+   * is **not** the `INVALID` outcome and never becomes one: the bytes are
+   * well-formed and the same message decodes under a looser cap, so it is a
+   * policy rejection (§6.2.1, §6.3). The two stay distinguishable by their code,
+   * which is what §6.3 requires; §6.3 leaves the surfacing open between "a fourth
+   * decode outcome" and "a terminal failure carrying the `LimitExceeded` code on
+   * the error channel", and this port takes the second. **Terminal** is the other
+   * half of that sentence and holds exactly as it does for `INVALID`: the stream
+   * latches the rejection, so every later call re-throws it under the same code,
+   * consumes no byte and drives no visitor method. It is *only* on the error
+   * channel — the three-valued outcome has no value for "valid, but more than I am
+   * configured to accept", so there is nothing about it to read back as a status,
+   * and nothing that has to be kept in step with the throw.
