🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Reject offsets that overlap the offset table.

At Line 331, an aligned offset can point into the count-and-offset prefix. A malformed blob can then pass validation and decode offset-table bytes as a string record.

Require each record offset to start at or after sizeof(uint32_t) * (1 + m_count).

Proposed fix 
     const uint32_t* offsets = std::bit_cast<const uint32_t*>(m_bytes.data() + sizeof(uint32_t));
     size_t offset = offsets[ordinal];
-    RELEASE_ASSERT(!(offset % 4) && offset <= m_bytes.size() && m_bytes.size() - offset >= 2 * sizeof(uint32_t), offset, m_bytes.size());
+    size_t recordsBegin = sizeof(uint32_t) * (1 + static_cast<size_t>(m_count));
+    RELEASE_ASSERT(!(offset % 4) && offset >= recordsBegin && offset <= m_bytes.size() && m_bytes.size() - offset >= 2 * sizeof(uint32_t), offset, m_bytes.size());

the offset validation in the record-decoding path to require offset be at least
sizeof(uint32_t) * (1 + m_count), preventing records from starting within the
