Description
We need to have a story for binary data in goblin, as it’s becoming more and more urgent to have a full test suite we can run against for compliance and regression.
We don’t want to store binary data in git, since this adds to clone time and is generally frowned against.
There are a few binary files in goblin or what is effectively binary data with vecs with u8s, but these are grandfathered, and we don’t need to concern ourselves with them.
Im open to any and all suggestions about what best path forward is here :)

Research direction
Start by reviewing goblin’s existing binary files and vectors of u8s, noting that those grandfathered cases are out of scope. Determine how a compliance and regression test suite can cover binary data without storing binary files in git, then document the proposed approach and its completion criteria.
