Detailed Description

CloudEvents v1.0 (CNCF) event envelope - structured JSON build + binary (ce-* header) read. Zero-heap; builds on the JSON writer.

CloudEvents is the application-layer metadata envelope that makes a device's events interoperable with serverless / event-mesh consumers. Two content modes:

• structured - the whole event is one application/cloudevents+json body; build it with cloudevents_build_json() into a caller buffer.
• binary - the event attributes ride as ce-* HTTP headers and the payload is the body; read an inbound binary event with cloudevents_from_headers().

Emit a binary event from a handler by adding the ce-id / ce-source / ce-type / ce-specversion response headers yourself (and the data as the body)

• no special API needed.
