Research direction
Start by running the linked AMF Decode recipes with empty input, a newline, and the provided sample data. Inspect the AMF Decode path associated with the error reported from Encodings.js. Done means these inputs no longer produce an uncaught buffer-exhaustion error and the existing sample cases still decode correctly.
