+ * directly, maintaining clean API boundaries.
+ *
+ * Design notes:
+ * - Peek operations read data by temporarily recording the buffer state,
+ *   performing a regular receive, and then conceptually "unreading" the data.
+ *   Since stream_buffer does not provide an unread API, we use a copy-based
+ *   approach: we snapshot the available bytes count, then do a regular read
+ *   into the user buffer, and use xStreamBufferSend to write the data back.
+ *   This preserves the original buffer state.
+ *
+ * - An alternative approach would access internal StreamBuffer_t fields.
+ *   We avoid that to keep this module decoupled from internal changes.
