Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
There is a rustsec advisory warning on puffin due to it using [bincode which is no longer maintained](https://rustsec.org/advisories/RUSTSEC-2025-0141.html). The advisory was published 2 days ago.
**Describe the solution you'd like**
Bincode's last disclaimer mentioned Wincode as a [Bincode-compatible alternative](https://docs.rs/crate/bincode/latest). Could it be switched to?
**Describe alternatives you've considered**
None, just wanted to share awareness of the warning against puffin from Rustsec. Didn't seem like any other issues mentioned it.
