## Works today

- TCompactProtocol and TBinaryProtocol behind one trait
- All of parquet.thrift, pre-generated
- Footer, page-header and page-index decode helpers
- No RPC, no runtime IDL, no dependencies

Checked against Apache Thrift itself — 13 generated wire vectors, byte-identical

Byte-identical to Apache Thrift on generated wire vectors, in both the compact and the binary protocol.
