- Replaced immutable bytes concatenation and slicing with `bytearray` and `del` to avoid $O(N^2)$ performance degradation.
- Fixed a bug where processing would prematurely terminate if a received chunk was smaller than 6 bytes.
- Updated loop condition to correctly handle 6-byte record headers.
- Verified performance improvement: processing 16k tokens in a single chunk improved from 0.2447s to 0.0416s.
