Research direction

Review the project's existing test and build setup first, then identify which pthreadpool interfaces need fuzzing and how fuzz targets would run in the project. Done means a repeatable fuzz-testing setup is added, documented, and demonstrates coverage of the relevant interfaces without introducing regressions.
