Detailed Description

Encoder compilation unit.

This file exists for library structure purposes. The encoding functions (COUNT, RLE, BE) are implemented entirely in the header file (encoder.hpp) because:

1. Encoder functions are templates parameterized by buffer/vector sizes
2. C++ requires template implementations to be visible at instantiation
3. Header-only design is standard for template-heavy libraries

Encoding functions implemented in encoder.hpp:

• count_encode() - CCSDS 124.0-B-1 Section 5.2.2, Equation 9
• rle_encode() - CCSDS 124.0-B-1 Section 5.2.3, Equation 10
• bit_extract() - CCSDS 124.0-B-1 Section 5.2.4, Equation 11

This .cpp file:

• Includes the header to verify it compiles correctly in isolation
• Provides a compilation unit for the static library
• Can hold non-template utilities if needed in the future
