Research direction

The issue lists bson, ubjson, capnp, flatbuf, and binc as missing serialization formats, with msgpack already complete, but names no file, test, or entry point. Start by locating the multicodec table and its msgpack entry, then determine how the requested formats are represented. Done means the intended missing formats are added and covered by the project's existing validation.
