Thanks Paul, all your detail is super-helpful. I became paralyzed by looking at too many codebases, but now I think I get it. Wes, you’re absolutely right that this is complicated by the lack of support. I’m working this example because it’s a good use of work time, and then hopefully success with

Hi Randy, The first four bytes are the int32 length of the flatbuffers Message metadata plus 4 bytes of padding between the length and the Message metadata itself. The Message metadata start
