Research direction

Start by locating the existing Encode and Decode derive attributes and the entry points where their generated implementations are defined. Determine how a combined Codec derive should invoke both behaviors, then verify that using Codec provides both Encode and Decode implementations. The issue names no files or tests, so the repository structure must be traced first.
