AX Principle 2 — comments must show usage examples, not restate what
the code already says. The inline comment in the default branch of
ReadAndVerify's tag-switch duplicated the three lines beneath it verbatim,
adding zero information.

Test doc-comments used `// //` to prefix expected-result lines, producing
comments-within-comments rather than clean usage examples. Strip the
redundant inner `//` so all lines read as plain code-example comments.

signedData was ambiguous — it did not convey that the buffer holds
accumulated header TLVs fed as input to HMAC, nor whether data was
already signed or pending signing. hmacInputBuffer makes the purpose
unambiguous on first read (AX Principle 1: predictable names over
short names).

TagCurrentLayer, TagTargetLayer, TagIntent, and TagThreatScore were
exported constants with no comment, violating AX Principle 2 (comments
as usage examples). Each now has a concrete writeTLV call showing the
tag, value encoding, and valid range where relevant.

Comment promised errTLVValueTooLarge but test only checked err != nil.
AX Principle 2 requires comments to be accurate usage examples —

AX principle 2 requires comments to show usage with real values. The
MarshalAndSign call in the NewPacketBuilder doc comment used a variable
name (sharedSecret) instead of a concrete literal.

The comment said "threat score incremented" and the error string said
"(ThreatScore +100)" but ReadAndVerify never mutates ThreatScore — it
only returns an error. Updated the comment to show the caller's
responsibility (header.ThreatScore += 100) and removed the parenthetical
from the error string.

AX Principle 2 requires comments to show concrete usage, not describe

AX Principle 2 — comments as usage examples, not restatements.
ParsedPacket carried the identical dispatch example twice: once above
the type and again above ReadAndVerify. The type-level copy added no
new information; replaced with a field-reference note that describes
what the struct exposes without duplicating the call-site example.

ParsedPacket comment used `_ = packet.Header.IntentID` — a discard
pattern that is not a realistic usage example (AX-2 violation). Replaced
with `dispatch(packet.Header.IntentID, packet.Header.ThreatScore, packet.Payload)`
to show how callers actually consume the parsed packet fields.

Receiver name `packetError` shadowed the type name and violated AX
Principle 1 — names must be predictable and not require a comment

`packetErr` is an abbreviation of the full type name `packetError`.

packetErr is a shortened form of packetError, violating AX Principle 1
(predictable names over short names). Single-letter e is explicitly
permitted for value receivers per RFC-CORE-008-AGENT-EXPERIENCE.md.
Co-Authored-By: Charon <charon@lethean.io>
RFC-025 Principle 1: single-letter names are only permitted for i (range),
_ (discards), t (tests), and c (*core.Core). The receiver variable e is
not in the allowed list — packetErr is predictable and removes the mapping
overhead.

tagByte described the storage type (a byte), not the purpose. All
constants in the package use Tag* naming (TagVersion, TagPayload, etc.)
so the loop variable should match: tagType aligns with the domain
vocabulary and satisfies AX Principle 1 (predictable names over short
names).

The inner scope re-declared `var err error` immediately before assigning
from `io.ReadAll`, unnecessarily shadowing the `err` already in scope from
`reader.ReadByte()`. Removing the shadow simplifies the control flow and
eliminates the redundant declaration (AX Principle 1 — names should not
introduce unnecessary cognitive overhead).

AX Principle 2 — comments must show concrete usage with realistic values,
not abstract placeholder names. The struct-level comment for PacketBuilder
used `intentID` and `payload` (undefined in context); replaced with 0x01

AX Principle 1 — the `Byte` suffix encodes storage type not semantics,
and the intermediate `tagLength` variable was an immediate int cast of
`tagLengthByte` with no additional meaning. Collapsed to a single
