Web evidence favors UTF-16 client counting (emoji=2), so deprioritize baseAstral for Discord; keep content-first + real Brotli dict as the main exploration path and drop framing from ARX4 scope. Co-authored-by: Aanish Bhirud <baanish@users.noreply.github.com>
Add an experimental content-first/CBOR envelope module with round-trip tests, and a bench that measures real `brotli -D` shared dictionaries against ARX3. Residual dict estimates overstated wins; real shared-dict gains are ~0–2%. Co-authored-by: Aanish Bhirud <baanish@users.noreply.github.com>

There was a problem hiding this comment.
WARNING: encodeCborishValue throws on undefined tuple elements, diverging from the shipped ARX2/3 JSON path and from the bench's own mirror.
envelopeToArx4Tuple can legitimately emit a tuple with an interior undefined hole: for a multi-artifact bundle with no envelope-level title but a non-first activeArtifactId, it returns [2, artifacts, undefined, activeIndex] (the trailing activeIndex stops trimOptionalTuple from removing the absent title). Arx2EnvelopeTuple explicitly allows this (OptionalTupleString = string | null | undefined). The shipped path JSON.stringifys such a tuple, mapping undefined→null, and the bench's encodeCborish mirrors that (if (v === null || v === undefined)). This CBOR path instead falls through to Unsupported ARX4 CBOR-ish value: undefined and throws, so encodeArx4CborishEnvelope(envelope) crashes on a valid envelope. Normalize undefined→null before CBOR-encoding (or broaden CborishValue/the null check) so the wire matches ARX2/3.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
The module-level comment says "CBOR major types 0/2/3/4/7" and "(non-negative ints, byte/text strings, arrays, null)", but major type 2 (byte strings) is never encoded or decoded — only major type 3 (UTF-8 text strings) is used. A future reader comparing the code against the RFC could spend time looking for the byte-string path that doesn't exist.

TMP_ROOT is created at module scope and the cleanup at the bottom only runs when execution reaches that line. If measureRow, brotliCli, or writeFileSync(REPORT_PATH, …) throw, the temp directory under tmpdir() is never removed. Wrapping the main work in try/finally ensures cleanup even on an unhandled error.

Silent loss of
undefined envelope title after round-trip. When envelope.title is falsy (e.g. not set) but artifact.title is a non-empty string, the encoder skips meta.e; the decoder then falls back to artifact.title, so decoded.title becomes the artifact title rather than undefined. The same applies to empty-string "" titles. For an experimental module this is likely acceptable, but the existing tests don't cover this case (markdownEnvelope always sets matching titles), so the edge case goes undetected.

Preserve tuple holes as null placeholders
For valid payloads where an earlier optional tuple slot is absent but a later one is present (for example a code artifact with title/filename but no language, or a diff with oldContent/newContent but no patch), this returns tuples with interior undefined entries. encodeCborishValue has no undefined case, so encodeArx4CborishEnvelope throws instead of mirroring the existing ARX2 tuple packing, which keeps those slots as null placeholders.

Keep the ideation generator aligned with bet #2
Because npm run bench:arx4-ideation rewrites docs/arx4-ideation.md from these strings, rerunning the documented command replaces the committed bet #2 follow-up with the older recommendation that content-first/CBOR plus shared-dictionary estimates is still worth exploring. That drops the new real-brotli -D conclusion that the win was only about 0–1%, so the generated report regresses to stale guidance.

Correct the delta sign explanation
The tables immediately below use negative deltas for smaller/winning outputs (for example 351 vs the 401 ARX3 baseline is shown as −12.5%, and the win column also reports wins as negative), so this sentence tells readers to interpret the signs backwards and can invert the benchmark conclusions.

Preserve absent envelope titles
When a single artifact has its own title but the envelope's top-level title is intentionally absent, the encoder only writes meta.t and no marker for the envelope title, so this fallback recreates envelope.title from the artifact title. As a result decodeArx4ContentFirst(encodeArx4ContentFirst(envelope)) changes valid metadata (also for explicit empty titles), unlike the ARX2/3 tuple path, and consumers that use envelope.title for labels/status see a title that was not in the original payload.
