T1.5.1 — Remove unwrap() from encode_compact

Status: Approved Agent: Kimi Code CLI Started: 2026-05-11T10:09Z Completed: 2026-05-11T10:15Z Commit: 30d26fc PRD: ../PRD-wire-format-v2.md (cleanup)

What I changed

• crates/wzp-proto/src/packet.rs:256-296 — Restructured encode_compact to use if let Some(base) = ctx.last_header() instead of ctx.last_header().unwrap(). When no baseline exists (fresh context), the code falls through to emit a full frame, establishing the baseline implicitly.
• crates/wzp-proto/src/packet.rs:2020-2033 — Added encode_compact_fallback_to_full_without_baseline test: constructs a fresh MiniFrameContext, calls encode_compact with frames_since_full = 1, and asserts a full frame is emitted rather than panicking.

Why these choices

The recommended approach from the task spec was to fall back to a full frame when no baseline exists. This makes the invariant explicit in code rather than implicit. Using if let Some(base) eliminates the unwrap entirely while preserving the same behavior for all existing callers (who always start with frames_since_full = 0).

Deviations from the task spec

None.

Risks / follow-ups

None.

Reviewer checklist (filled in by reviewer)

• Code matches PRD intent — unwrap replaced with if let Some(base), falls through to full-frame on missing baseline
• Verification output is real — re-ran cargo test -p wzp-proto encode_compact (passes), confirmed only test-code unwraps remain in packet.rs
• No backward-incompat surprises — public signature of encode_compact unchanged
• Tests cover the new behavior — encode_compact_fallback_to_full_without_baseline is the right shape
• Approved

Reviewer notes (2026-05-11)

Approved. Clean fix. The Cargo.lock delta (1054 lines) is patch-version churn from cargo build resolving newer compatible deps (bitflags 2.11.0→2.11.1, aws-lc-rs 1.16.2→1.16.3, etc.) — legitimate per standard #8. Worth disclosing in "What I changed" next time, but it's a real build artifact not a hand edit.
