Summary
get_optimal_binop_widthto only return widths that divide 8 ({2, 4, 8}) instead of the full range[2, 8]. Non-dividing widths (e.g. 3, 5, 6, 7) cause digit decompositions that overallocate bit capacity beyond[0, 255], breaking byte semantics.optimal_binop_width_always_divides_8: verifies the width invariant holds for all input sizes up to 1024.non_canonical_byte_rejected_by_recomposition: regression test confirming that the recomposition constraint rejects non-canonical byte values (> 255) when usingw ∈ {2, 4}.
