Detailed Description

Layer 6 (Presentation) - zero-heap CBOR (RFC 8949) encoder.

A streaming encoder that writes directly into a caller-provided buffer (no heap), the binary counterpart to the JSON writer. Emit definite-length arrays and maps by writing the header (pc_cbor_array / pc_cbor_map with the item count) then that many items (twice that for a map: key, value, key, value, ...).

Overflow is tracked, not crashed on: writes past the buffer set the overflow flag and stop, while pc_cbor_len() keeps counting the bytes the full payload would need, so a caller can size the buffer and check pc_cbor_ok().
