Description

`decoder.decodeStruct` maintains a slice of unused keys in `unusedKeysVal`, but the slice is never used. Either the slice should be used somewhere, or maintaining it serves no purpose.

Research direction

Start at decoder.decodeStruct and trace where unusedKeysVal is populated and whether any caller consumes it. Run the decoder tests; done means the slice has a documented purpose and observable use, or is removed without changing expected decoding behavior.
