Month: 2025-07 | Delivered a focused enhancement to anza-xyz/kit: FixedSize recognition for union and discriminated union codecs when all constituent variants are FixedSize. This change strengthens type safety and enables potential performance optimizations by allowing fixed-size handling for more data structures. Updated type definitions and tests to reflect the new behavior, ensuring regression coverage and clearer API guarantees for downstream users.
