ClickHouse JS RowBinary Codec Generator for Node.js

This skill generates both directions of the wire format: readers (decode
bytes → values) and writers (encode values → bytes, the mirror). A given
task normally needs only one side. This file is the shared entry point — the
format gate plus the principles common to both directions; the per-direction
decisions, guidance, and the per-type reference tables live in two sibling files.

Pick your side — read only the one you need:

Decoding a RowBinary* response from ClickHouse into JS values →
reader.md. Streaming vs whole-buffer, row-objects vs columnar,
fixed vs runtime schema, and the per-type reader reference.

Encoding JS values into a RowBinary payload to send to ClickHouse →
writer.md. The Sink/writeX building blocks, writeRows
streaming, and the per-type writer reference.

The per-type code is real, split by direction under src/readers/ and
src/writers/.
