so, couldn't sleep because allergy still
i forgot how long the egg allergy takes to fully clear up, and it also seems to onset most of all at bedtime
so... i have an espresso to calm it down, and sit to write this binary encode/decode test
i have found the bug, i think
it's the old empty tag that should be a nil tag trick
original:
> "tags":[]
re-encodes from runtime format:
> "tags":[]
decodes back from being encoded from runtime to binary and binary back to runtime back to json:
> "tags":[[]]
well, that's the first, but hundreds of examples of this... it's from empty tags... most clients don't actually produce events with no tags at all, mostly... they are kooky looking events too, with strings of decimal numbers comma separated like they are encoding binary with decimal for whatever reason, instead of UTF-8
but digging further I also see another error:

there is an `a` tag in there (it's a delete) where the re-decoded form has failed to encode correctly, i've written code in the binary encoder to correctly handle a tags, they are kind:pubkey:string and it looks a lot like this one did not format the value correctly, those numbers are clearly decimal form of hexadecimal, and the initial kind value was not encoded (or failed decoding back)
i'd say i'm going to find several bugs in there with this, this is two to chalk up for tomorrow morning's work
i'd say i'll have every last bug in the binary encode/decode ironed out with this in hand
