Research direction

Start by locating the base64ct decode benchmark and the decoder entry point in the repository, then reproduce the case where the generated line is rejected as invalid. Compare the generated line with the decoder's accepted input and run the relevant benchmark or test command; done means the benchmark-generated line is accepted without regressing decoding behavior.
