docs(byte-storage): say encode_into is not faster than store plus a copy (LAB-13024) - #157
The rustdoc on StorageEnvelope::encode_into recommended it for writing an envelope straight into a binding-owned buffer such as a Python bytes, and warned only about envelopes of 64 KiB and up. Measured in cachekit-py, that path is not faster than ByteStorage::store plus a copy: the slice writer makes one memcpy call per field, and a zero-filled output buffer costs what the copy saved. It took more instructions per store at most sizes below 32 KiB, saved at most 1.5% at any size, and made no end-to-end difference.
This PR rewrites that sentence to say so. The existing "measure before using it for envelopes of 64 KiB and up" caveat stays. Docs only, no code change.
Verified: cargo doc --all-features --no-deps and cargo test --doc --all-features pass.
Clarified performance and allocation trade-offs for encoding storage envelopes. The documentation notes that no end-to-end difference was observed in cachekit-py and recommends measuring performance when working with envelopes of 64 KiB or larger. There are no changes to runtime behaviour.
Walkthrough
The StorageEnvelope::encode_into documentation now describes its allocation behaviour, measured performance, and guidance for larger envelopes. Runtime behaviour did not change.

Summary
Document encoding trade-offs src/byte_storage.rs
The documentation describes per-field copies, zero-filled output allocation, measured results below 32 KiB, and guidance to measure use for envelopes of 64 KiB and larger.
This documentation-only change has bounded risk: its performance guidance could discourage useful existing-envelope or reusable-buffer workflows. Qualify the comparison to the measured workload; no runtime regression is established.

Explanation
The title names the docs change to StorageEnvelope::encode_into (byte-storage module) and states the claim that it is not faster than store plus a copy. This matches the changeset, which rewrites the rustdoc sentence to say so and changes no code. The title is specific and concise, and it has a conventional docs(...) prefix with a ticket reference.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description states that the rustdoc on StorageEnvelope::encode_into recommended the path for binding-owned buffers and warned only about envelopes of 64 KiB and up. It gives the cachekit-py measurements behind the rewrite, keeps the existing 64 KiB caveat, and notes the change is docs only. It also lists the verification commands. It directly describes the changeset.

Review comments at @src/byte_storage.rs:
- Around line 275-276: Update the performance comparison in the documentation
around ByteStorage::store and encode_into to distinguish encoding an existing
envelope from creating one: encode_into serialises its existing compressed data,
while ByteStorage::store recompresses and checksums the raw payload. Avoid
claiming ByteStorage::store plus a copy is always comparable or faster.
- Around line 275-278: Update the performance guidance around
`ByteStorage::store` to scope the comparison to the measured cachekit-py
workload, and acknowledge that callers reusing an initialised buffer with
`encode_into` can avoid zero-filling it on each call.
